Projectile resisting space dividing system

A space dividing system which resists penetration by projectiles, comprising:

• a substantially rectangular panel,
• said panel having first and second major opposed sides, and first and second vertical edges,
• said panel including a metallic frame having upper and lower tubular rails and first and second tubular stiles which cooperatively define a window,
• said upper and lower rails and first and second stiles having substantially flat front and back surfaces disposed in common front and back planes, respectively, inner surfaces which define said window, and outer surfaces,
• each of said upper and lower rails and said first and second stiles having a configuration which defines a channel in the inner surface, with the channels in the inner surfaces of the rails and stiles cooperatively providing a continuous annular channel about the frame window,
• each of said first and second stiles further defining first and second inner pockets respectively adjacent to the front and back surfaces,
• projectile resistant material disposed in the first and second pockets of each of the first and second stiles,
• and a rigid layer of projectile resistant material disposed in the frame window,
• said rigid layer of projectile resistant material having first and second major opposed surfaces and perimetrical edges, with said perimetrical edges projecting into said annular channel, between and overlapping the first and second pockets containing the projectile resisting material.
