International Classification:

F41H 5/013

US Classification:

89 3606, 89 3607

Abstract:

An armored shield includes an armor plate, an elongated spine member and a securing snap member. The modular armored shield is formed of the armor plate placed on two resting surfaces of a backside of the spine member with a hump portion of the elongated spine member extending through an armor plate slot and a securing snap member being mounted to the hump portion of the spine member with the hump portion extending through a securing snap slot. A modular armored shield assembly includes a plurality of armor plates joined at edges where at least one of two adjacent plates has threaded studs extending from the surface thereof and the other of said two adjacent plates has edges slots opening to the edge thereof at positions corresponding to positions of the studs. The modular armored shield assembly further includes a securing strip. The armor shield assembly is formed of two armor plates attached to one another by sliding the threaded studs into the edge slots, placing the securing strip on the threaded studs and screwing nuts onto the threaded studs.

International Classification:

F41H 5/013

US Classification:

89 3606

Abstract:

A ballistic weapon stand has a base plate for mounting armor panels having front and rear faces. The armor panels are fastened to and extend upwardly from the base at an angle in the range of 10–30 with respect to the vertical to define a protected space behind the panels. Struts are welded to the base plate and extend upwardly toward and through an opening in a middle armor panel and between the edges of the middle armor panel and side armor panels. Welding plates are constructed and arranged for welding to the struts on the rear faces of the armor plates. The welding plates extend over the rear faces of the armor plates at junctions between the armor plates. A weapon platform is disposed on a second portion of at least one of the struts for mounting a weapon in the protected space to fire out past the front face of the armor panels. A transparent projectile defeating shield is mounted to swivel with the weapon, preferably on the weapons stand. The transparent shield may have one-way visibility so that a gunner is not visible to adversaries, but adversaries are visible to the gunner.
