Abstract
A razor wire rapid deployment unit (RDU)/barrier is disclosed. In some embodiments, the RDU includes an enclosure having a first section coupleable with a second section, the enclosure defining an interior area therein. The RDU may further include a razor wire disposed within the interior area of the enclosure, a first end of the razor wire directly coupled to the first section, and a second end of the razor wire directly coupled to the second section. The first and second sides of the enclosure may be separated from one another to deploy the razor wire from a compressed configuration to an expanded configuration.
Claims17
A razor wire rapid deployment unit (RDU), comprising:
- an enclosure having a first section coupleable with a second section, the enclosure defining an interior area;
- and
- a razor wire disposed within the interior area of the enclosure, a first end of the razor wire directly coupled to the first section, and a second end of the razor wire directly coupled to the second section,
- wherein the first and second sections of the enclosure are separable from one another to deploy the razor wire from a compressed configuration to an expanded configuration,
- wherein the second section of the enclosure comprises:
- a second outer frame;
- a panel extending across the second outer frame;
- and
- an anchor component coupled to the panel, and wherein the anchor component comprises:
- a first cross support and a second cross support extending across the second outer frame;
- a first tube extending between the first and second cross supports;
- and
- a second tube rotatably coupled to the first tube, the second tube extending perpendicular to the first tube, wherein in a first configuration the second tube extends parallel to a plane defined by an outer surface of the panel, and wherein in a second configuration the second tube extends perpendicular to the plane defined by the outer surface of the panel and extends parallel to a ground surface.

An assembly, comprising:
- an enclosure having a first section coupleable with a second section;
- and
- a concertina razor wire housed within an interior area of the enclosure, wherein a first end of the concertina razor wire is directly coupled to the first section, wherein a second end of the concertina razor wire is directly coupled to the second section, wherein the first and second sections of the enclosure are separable from one another to expand and compress the concertina razor wire;
- wherein the second section of the enclosure comprises:
- a second outer frame;
- a panel extending across the second outer frame;
- and
- an anchor component coupled to the panel, and wherein the anchor component comprises:
- a first cross support and a second cross support extending across the second outer frame;
- a first tube extending between the first and second cross supports;
- and
- a second tube rotatably coupled to the first tube, the second tube extending perpendicular to the first tube, wherein in a first configuration the second tube extends parallel to a plane defined by an outer surface of the panel, and wherein in a second configuration the second tube extends perpendicular to the plane defined by the outer surface of the panel and extends parallel to a ground surface.

A method of deploying a razor wire, comprising:
- providing an enclosure having a first section coupleable with a second section, the enclosure defining an interior area therein, wherein the second section of the enclosure comprises:
- a second outer frame;
- and
- a panel extending across the second outer frame;
- housing the razor wire within the interior area of the enclosure, wherein a first end of the razor wire is directly coupled to the first section, and wherein a second end of the razor wire is directly coupled to the second section;
- moving the first and second sections relative to one another to expand or compress the razor wire;
- and
- securing the second section in place using an anchor component rotatably coupled to the panel, wherein the anchor component comprises:
- a first cross support and a second cross support extending across the second outer frame;
- a first tube extending between the first and second cross supports;
- and
- a second tube rotatably coupled to the first tube, the second tube extending perpendicular to the first tube, wherein in a first configuration the second tube extends parallel to a plane defined by an outer surface of the panel, and wherein in a second configuration the second tube extends perpendicular to the plane defined by the outer surface of the panel and extends parallel to a ground surface.
