Problems solved by technology

Devices and systems designed for preventing the penetration of ammunition are not new.
This can result in a safety hazard.
Further, armor plate and other types of armor are usually incapable of withstanding multiple projectile shots in one location.
This could result in serious injuries or even fatalities to individuals purportedly protected by such armor in the event that a second projectile follows the same path as a first projectile that has already weakened the armor.

Embodiment Construction

[0021]Referring first to FIGS. 1 and 3, an embodiment of a ballistic wall panel device 10 is shown, consistent with an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in this embodiment, the ballistic wall panel device 10 is generally comprised of four main sections, including a front section 12, a back section 14, and two side sections 16. The front section 12, back section 14, and side sections 16 are coupled together, such that they comprise a housing defining a chamber therein. In this way, the ballistic wall panel device 10 is adapted to contain particles (hereinafter ballistic media 20) (as shown in FIG. 3), as further described herein. In one embodiment, the ballistic wall panel device 10 has overall dimensions of approximately 24″ in length and 24″ in height. The side sections 16 of the ballistic wall panel device 10, in this embodiment, are approximately 4″ to 5″ wide. However, it should be clearly understood that substantial benefit could be derived from an alternative confi...

Abstract

A ballistic wall panel device and system is disclosed. The ballistic wall panel device is adapted to contain ballistic media, which may include hardened metal particles. The ballistic wall panel device is capable of absorbing impact from various types of ammunition, destroying such ammunition upon impact, and withstanding multiple ammunition firings in a single location on the device. The ballistic wall panel device and system may be useful in a variety of settings, particularly where there may be a need or desire to protect individuals or valuables from weapons fire exposure, including but not limited to safe rooms, safe houses, embassies, shoot houses (such as those used by police and military personnel for live fire training), banks, post offices, gas stations, convenience stores, pay counters, various government agency buildings and facilities, and the like.

Description

RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This non-provisional application claims priority from U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 068,015, filed on Mar. 3, 2008.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]This invention relates generally to devices and systems for preventing the penetration of ammunition and, more particularly, to a ballistic wall panel device having the capability to absorb impact from various types of ammunition, destroy such ammunition upon impact, and withstand multiple ammunition firings in a single location.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Devices and systems designed for preventing the penetration of ammunition are not new. Ammunition penetration prevention devices and systems are often put to use in areas where there is a need or desire to protect individuals or valuables, and particularly in areas where individuals might find themselves at risk for potential weapons fire exposure, such as in safe rooms, safe houses, embassies, shoot houses, banks, post offices, gas stations, conve...
