Abstract
A modular energy barrier system has at least one energy barrier module. The module has a substantially rigid casing and an energy absorbing filler material. The casing has at least one frangible side. The filler material is disposed inside the casing. The casing is adapted to be connected to a base support so that the module is interposed between the base structure and an energy source and the at least one frangible side of the casing is oriented to face energy released by the energy source.
Claims30
A modular energy barrier system comprising:
- at least one energy barrier module comprising:
- a substantially rigid casing having at least one frangible side;
- and
- an energy absorbing filler material disposed within the casing;
- wherein the casing is adapted to be connected to a base support so that the at least one module is interposed between the base structure and an energy source and the at least one frangible side of the casing is oriented to face energy released by the energy source.
A modular energy barrier system comprising:
- at least one portable energy absorber module having a substantially rigid chamber and energy absorbing filler material positioned into the chamber;
- a mobile supporting structure comprising at least one portable structure module, the supporting structure being capable of supporting the at least one energy absorber module;
- and
- a mount system for connecting the at least one energy absorber module to the supporting structure;
- wherein the supporting structure is capable of being assembled and disassembled by installing and removal of the at least one structure module, the mount system being arranged the at least one energy absorber module is capable of being attached to and detached from the supporting structure in respectively in substantially one step.
A modular energy barrier system kit, the kit comprising:
- at least one energy absorber module, the module comprising a frangible front panel and an anti-ballistic rear panel connected to the front panel to form a substantially rigid chamber, a plurality of filler material packages positioned into the chamber;
- a mount system for connecting the at least one energy absorber module to a supporting structure;
- wherein the at least one energy absorber module is capable of being divided into a plurality of sub-chamber modules, each sub-chamber having a plurality of filler material packages positioned or oriented inside.
A method of deploying and redeploying a modular energy barrier system comprising:
- providing at a first location at least one energy absorber module, the module comprising a frangible front panel and an anti-ballistic rear panel connected to the front panel to form a substantially rigid chamber, a filler material positioned into the chamber;
- providing at the first location a supporting structure, capable of supporting a plurality of energy absorber modules;
- providing at the first location a mount system for connecting the plurality of energy absorber modules to the supporting structure;
- and
- attaching at the first location the at least one energy absorber module to the supporting structure using the mount system.
A modular energy absorber system comprising:
- at least one energy absorber module, comprising,
- a frangible front panel;
- an anti-ballistic rear panel connected to the front panel so that the front and rear panels form substantially a rigid structure defining a chamber between front and rear panels;
- and
- a filler material positioned into the chamber.
