Portable Tactical Simulated Barricade with Adjustable Height
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing tactical barricades for target practice are large, heavy, and immobile, making them impractical for portable and indoor use, limiting access to defensive training for both civilians and law enforcement personnel.
Innovation Solution
A lightweight, portable, collapsible tactical simulated barricade system with a cantilever-mounted design on a foldable stand, featuring a continuous hinge and sash lock, allowing for adjustable height and easy storage, and consisting of a base barricade and detachable barricade with sliding mechanisms for customizable training.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If traditional tactical barricades are used, then stability and structural strength are improved, but portability and ease of transport deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The barricade is divided into multiple segments including a base portion, vertical portion, and detachable portions that can be separated for transport. Each segment maintains structural integrity while enabling portability when disassembled
Solution Approach 2:
The barricade incorporates movable components including foldable support legs, telescoping vertical portions, and adjustable positioning mechanisms that allow the structure to transition between stable deployed state and compact transport state
2Strength
If traditional tactical barricades are used, then stability and structural strength are improved, but adaptability to different environments deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The barricade is designed with universal features including adjustable height, multiple configurations for different shooting positions, and adaptability to both indoor and outdoor ranges, making it suitable for various training environments
Solution Approach 2:
The barricade incorporates adjustable and reconfigurable components that allow adaptation to different shooting scenarios, shooter heights, and range environments, transitioning from fixed to dynamic configuration
3Stability of the object's composition
If traditional tactical barricades are used, then stability is improved, but ease of operation and setup deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The barricade uses foldable support legs with locking mechanisms, telescoping portions with positioning locks, and easy-assemble connections that enable quick setup and takedown while maintaining stability during use
Solution Approach 2:
The barricade components are pre-configured with integrated connection points, pre-positioned locking mechanisms, and ergonomic handles that facilitate rapid assembly and deployment without complex procedures

AI summary
A portable tactical simulated shooter barricade for shooting ranges with a target located down-range. A portable tactical simulated barricade consisting of a barricade attached vertically to a base stand by a continuous hinge and kept in place vertically by a sash lock, forming the base barricade designed for use atop the counter in shooter's booth at an indoor gun range. A portable tactical simulated barricade consists of a second, detachable barricade that can be adjusted vertically to different height displacement by a dowel lock inserted laterally into a sliding mechanism. The sliding mechanism which is located vertically at the mid-portion the barricade and perpendicularly to base stand, has a male and female component to facilitate upward and downward motion of the detachable barricade parallelly against the base barricade. The base stand is locked to the vertical barricade by a sash lock and can be pivoted toward the vertical portion, of the barricade by a continuous hinge. Velcro strips lock the folded base to the vertical barricade, facilitating storage and transport.
