Abstract
A modular ballistic ceiling allows increased flexibility in building and reassembling shoot houses. Shoot houses may be built with multiple levels which are completely modular.
Claims61
A method for forming a section of a modular bullet proof ceiling comprising:
- placing a support member in a generally horizontal orientation, the support member having a surface which is flat and generally horizontal;
- placing two bullet proof plates in a generally horizontal orientation such that an edge of the first plate is adjacent an edge of the second plate so as to form a joint and such that the joint is placed on top of the flat surface of the support member;
- placing a backing means on top of the joint;
- and
- holding the support member, steel plates, and backing means firmly together.
2 more elements
A method for forming a bullet proof ceiling, comprising:
- placing a plurality of support members in a generally horizontal fashion, each of the support members having at least one flat and generally horizontal surface;
- disposing a plurality of bullet proof plates adjacent the support members to thereby form a ceiling, the plates being oriented such that the edge of a plate is adjacent the edge of any adjacent plate so as to form a joint and such that the joint is disposed adjacent the flat and generally horizontal surface of the support member;
- and
- attaching the plurality of bullet proof plates to the plurality of support members.
1 more element
A bullet proof ceiling comprising:
- a plurality of bullet proof plates disposed horizontally so as to form a ceiling, adjacent plates having their adjacent edges placed in a linear arrangement so as to form a joint;
- a plurality of elongate support members, the support members having at least one flat surface and being disposed either above or below the plates such that the at least one flat surface of the support members covers the joint between the bullet proof plates, the support members being attached to the plates.
A modular bullet proof ceiling comprising:
- at least one bracket;
- at least one elongate support member disposed in a generally horizontal manner and being attached to the at least one bracket, the support member having at least one flat and generally horizontal surface;
- at least two bullet proof plates, the plates being disposed in a generally horizontal manner such that an edge of the first plate is disposed adjacent an edge of the second plate to form a joint, and the plates being disposed such that the joint is placed adjacent the at least one flat surface of the support member to thereby be covered by the flat surface;
- a backing means disposed adjacent the joint on the side of the joint opposite the support member;
- and
- an attachment means for holding the backing means, steel plates, and support member firmly together.
3 more elements
A bullet proof ceiling comprising:
- at least two bullet proof plates disposed horizontally so as to form a ceiling, the plates being oriented such that an edge of the first plate is disposed adjacent the edge of a second plate to form a joint;
- a facing means disposed to cover the joint;
- a backing means disposed on the side of then joint opposite the facing means to thereby cover the joint;
- attachment means configured for holding the facing means, at least two bullet proof plates, and backing means firmly together;
- and
- a plurality of elongate support members disposed to support the ceiling.
3 more elements
A shoot house comprising:
- a plurality of bullet proof walls;
- a plurality of brackets attached to the plurality of walls and configured for supporting a ceiling;
- a plurality of support members attached to the plurality of brackets;
- at least two steel plates disposed horizontally to form a ceiling, the plates being disposed so that an edge of the first plate is disposed adjacent the edge of the second plate to thereby form a joint;
- a facing means disposed to cover the joint;
- and
- attachment means for holding the facing means tightly against the joint.
4 more elements
A shoot house comprising:
- a lower level wall comprising a first and second bullet proof plates disposed such that an edge of the first plate is adjacent the edge of the second plate forming a joint, and a facing strip disposed to cover the joint and being attached to the first and second plates, the facing strip further comprising a bracket disposed on an end of the facing strip;
- a ceiling comprising a support member attached to the bracket and at least one bullet proof plate attached to the support member.
