Solution Overview

Problem

There is a need for a deployable enclosure that utilizes connected razor wire panels to provide enhanced access security, as existing barriers may not offer sufficient deterrent or ease of deployment.

Innovation Solution

A deployable enclosure comprising a plurality of rotatably coupled panel sections with frame components and razor wire panels arranged in a mesh configuration, allowing for expansion and collapse in an accordion-like manner, with the option to attach to existing structures for stability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional barbed wire or razor wire fences are used, then security deterrent is provided, but deployment flexibility and ease of movement are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecurity deterrentVSAvoiddeployment flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The barrier is divided into multiple panel sections that can be independently handled and deployed. Each panel section contains frame components with razor wire panels, allowing the barrier to be segmented into manageable units that can be easily transported and assembled at different locations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The barrier transitions from a static traditional fence design to a dynamic deployable structure. The panel sections can be rotated between a collapsed stored configuration and an expanded deployed configuration, enabling the barrier to adapt between different operational states.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Reliability

If fixed security barriers are installed, then access security is enhanced, but mobility and rapid deployment capability are lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccess securityVSAvoidrapid deployment capability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The barrier panels are pre-assembled with frame components and razor wire panels attached before deployment. This preliminary assembly allows the barrier to be rapidly deployed at the desired location without requiring on-site construction, significantly improving deployment speed while maintaining security effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The panel sections are designed to nest within each other when collapsed, with the frame components and razor wire panels compacted into a space-efficient stored configuration. This nesting capability enables rapid deployment by simply expanding the nested sections rather than assembling them from scratch.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

3Ease of operation

If concertina coils are used for movable barriers, then deployability is improved, but the deterrent effectiveness against determined intruders is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovedeployabilityVSAvoiddeterrent effectiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The barrier combines multiple elements into a composite structure: frame components provide structural support, razor wire panels provide the cutting deterrent, and the rotational coupling mechanism provides mobility. This composite approach maintains the effectiveness of traditional razor wire barriers while adding deployability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 2:

The barrier is segmented into multiple panel sections that can be independently deployed and configured. This segmentation allows the barrier to be adapted to different scenarios and locations while maintaining the effective deterrent configuration of razor wire panels throughout the structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
