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.
Claims15
A razor wire rapid deployment unit (RDU), comprising:
- an enclosure having a first section coupleable with a second section;
- a razor wire, wherein a first end of the razor wire is directly coupled to the first section, wherein a second end of the razor wire is directly coupled to the second section, and wherein the first and second sections of the enclosure are separable from one another to bias the razor wire between a compressed configuration and an expanded configuration;
- and
- an anchor component rotatably coupled to an exterior of the second section, wherein the anchor component comprises:
- a first tube;
- and
- a second tube rotatably coupled to the first tube, wherein the second tube is fixed in a perpendicular orientation relative to the first tube, wherein in a first configuration of the anchor component the second tube extends parallel to a plane defined by an outer surface of the second section, and wherein in a second configuration the second tube extends perpendicular to the plane defined by the outer surface of the second section.
An assembly, comprising:
- an enclosure having a first section detachably coupled to a second section;
- 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, and wherein a second end of the concertina razor wire is directly coupled to the second section;
- and
- an anchor component coupled to the second section, wherein the anchor component comprises:
- a first component;
- and
- a second component rotatably coupled to the first component, wherein the second component is fixed in a perpendicular orientation relative to the first component, wherein in a first configuration of the anchor component the second component extends parallel to a plane defined by an outer surface of the second section, and wherein in a second configuration the second component extends perpendicular to the plane defined by the outer surface of the second section.
A method of deploying a razor wire, comprising:
- providing an enclosure having a first section coupleable with a second section;
- housing the razor wire within an 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;
- securing the second section in place using an anchor component rotatably coupled to the second section, wherein the anchor component comprises:
- a first cross support and a second cross support extending across the second section;
- 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 second section, and wherein in a second configuration the second tube extends perpendicular to the plane defined by the outer surface of the second section;
- and
- moving the first section relative to the second section to deploy the razor wire from the interior area of the enclosure.
