Abstract
A razor wire barrier is disclosed. In some embodiments, an enclosure includes a plurality of panel sections rotatably coupled together, at least one panel section of the plurality of panel sections including a first frame component directly coupled to a second frame component of an adjacent panel section. The enclosure may further include a razor wire panel extending across each of plurality of panel sections.
Claims16
An enclosure, comprising:
- a plurality of panel sections rotatably coupled together along adjacent edges of the panel sections, wherein the plurality of panel sections is collapsed in a first stacked configuration and expanded in a second configuration, at least one panel section of the plurality of panel sections comprising:
- a first upper frame component extending along a top of the at least one panel section, the first upper frame component being rotatably coupled to a second upper frame component of an adjacent panel section;
- and
- a first bottom frame component extending along a bottom of the at least one panel section, the first bottom frame component rotatably coupled to a second bottom frame component of the adjacent panel section, wherein each of the first upper frame component, the second upper frame component, the first bottom frame component, and the second bottom frame component comprises a flat interior surface opposite a flat exterior surface thereof and an internal area between the flat interior surface and the flat exterior surface;
- and
- a first razor wire panel and a second razor wire panel extending across the at least one panel section of the plurality of panel sections, between the first upper frame component and the first bottom frame component, wherein the first and second razor wire panels are separated from one another by a gap, wherein a plurality of wire strands of the first razor wire panel are directly coupled to the flat exterior surface of the first upper frame component and to the flat exterior surface of the first bottom frame component, and wherein a plurality of wire strands of the second razor wire panel are directly coupled to the flat interior surface of the first upper frame component and to the flat interior surface of the first bottom frame component;
- a third razor wire panel and a fourth razor panel extending across the adjacent panel section, between the second upper frame component and the second lower frame component, wherein the third and fourth razor wire panels are separated from one another by a gap, wherein a plurality of wire strands of the third razor wire panel are directly coupled to the flat exterior surface of the second upper frame component and to the Hat exterior surface of the second bottom frame component, and wherein a plurality of wire strands of the fourth razor wire panel are directly coupled to the flat interior surface of the second upper frame component and to the flat interior surface of the second bottom frame component.
