Abstract
A barrier system prevents entry through a structure and includes a first door positioned across an opening in the structure on a first side of the structure and a second door positioned across the opening on a second side of the structure. A protection fabric extends over the second door such that the protection fabric is between the first door and the second door, wherein the protection fabric comprises at least one attachment eyelet along at least one edge of the protection fabric to attach the protection fabric to the structure. The protection fabric has cables that terminate in a series of the eyelets. The eyelets attach to stanchions mounted on a foundation and dissipate the force of impact of a projectile hitting the structure along the protection fabric and the stanchions.
Claims49
A barrier system preventing entry through a structure, the system comprising:
- a first door positioned across an opening in the structure and on a first side of the structure;
- a second door positioned across the opening and on a second side of the structure to define a separation between the first door and the second door;
- a protection fabric extending over the second door such that the protection fabric is between the first door and the second door, wherein said protection fabric comprises at least one attachment eyelet along at least one edge of the protection fabric to attach the protection fabric to the structure;
- wherein said protection fabric comprises interception members extending in one direction and beam members extending in a substantially perpendicular direction to said interception members;
- and
- wherein said protection fabric is attached to said second door by clamps extending over said beam members.
A barrier system positioned across an opening in a structure, comprising:
- at least a first stanchion defining at least one peg extending from the stanchion;
- a protective fabric extending across the opening and connected to the first stanchion by an eyelet attached to a first edge of the protective fabric, the protective fabric also attached to the structure at a second edge of the protective fabric opposite the first edge;
- a second stanchion connecting the protective fabric to an opposite side of the opening, wherein said protective fabric comprises a pair of eyelets on the first and second edges;
- and wherein each of the eyelets engage a respective peg on a respective stanchion;
- an outer door supporting said protective fabric across the opening;
- and
- wherein said protection fabric is attached to said outer door by clamps extending over said beam members.
A barrier system comprising:
- a first stanchion defining at least one peg extending from said first stanchion;
- a second stanchion defining at least one opposite peg extending from said second stanchion
- a protective fabric extending between said first and second stanchions, said protective fabric comprising at least one eyelet along at least one edge of said protective fabric, wherein the protective fabric is connected to both stanchions, and wherein said protective fabric is connected to at least one of said stanchions by said eyelet engaging either said peg or said opposite peg;
- wherein said protective fabric comprises interception members extending in one direction and beam members extending in a substantially perpendicular direction to said interception members;
- and
- wherein said protection fabric is attached to said door by clamps extending over said beam members.
