Filed:

Dec 8, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/296402

Inventors:

David H. Warren - Stone Ridge NY, US
Wayne Schaeffer - Stone Ridge NY, US

Assignee:

Armordynamics, Inc. - Stone Ridge NY

International Classification:

F41H 5/04

US Classification:

89 3602, 89 3608

Abstract:

Methods and apparatus for providing ballistic protection and stopping high-velocity rounds or explosives. The apparatus may include a ballistic panel for providing ballistic protection. The ballistic panel includes a core that includes a plurality of node cells, an intermediate layer that surrounds the core and fills in the node cells, and an outer coating. The ballistic panel absorbs the force of high-velocity, ballistic, low-velocity, and high foot pound pressure rounds, fragments, and impacts and is capable of completely capturing such ballistic rounds and fragments without external deflection or complete penetration through ballistic panel.

Assignee:

Armordynamics, Inc. - Stone Ridge NY

International Classification:

F41H 5/04
F41H 5/013

US Classification:

89 3602, 89 3608

Abstract:

Methods and apparatus for providing ballistic protection and stopping high-velocity rounds or explosives. A ballistic panel for providing protection includes a three-dimensional core designed as a structural truss that includes a plurality of nodes and provides structural support of the ballistic panel, a ceramic grinding layer that includes a plurality of ceramic grinding media that fills in the nodes of the core, an elastomeric, self-healing outer coating that encapsulates the ceramic grinding layer and a backing affixed to a non-threat side of the ballistic panel. The core absorbs and dissipates force from projectile and explosive force impacts on the ballistic panel and the ceramic grinding layer re-directs and causes the projectiles to break apart.

Inventors:

David H. Warren - Stone Ridge NY, US

Assignee:

Armordynamics, Inc. - Stone Ridge NY

International Classification:

F41H 5/007

US Classification:

89 3617, 89 3602

Abstract:

Armor systems for protecting against various threats, including projectiles and explosive devices. An armor system includes one or more ballistic panels, one or more wire mesh layers and a backing on a side of the armor system facing away from potential threats that helps to absorb force impacting on the first ballistic panel. The first ballistic panel includes a core that provides strength and rigidity for the first ballistic panel and that distributes and dissipates force impacting on the first ballistic panel, a grinding layer comprising grinding media situated within and positioned on at least one side of the core facing towards potential threats, and a bonding layer that encapsulates the grinding layer. The one or more wire mesh layers contain the ballistic panel, increasing the durability and re-usability of the ballistic panel.

F41H 5/013

US Classification:

89 3601, 86 50, 52284

Abstract:

Methods and apparatus for providing ballistic protection and stopping high-velocity rounds or explosives and for constructing protective structures. The apparatus includes a building block, one or more ballistic panels configured to fit within the building block, each ballistic panel includes a three-dimensional core that acts as a truss for the ballistic panel, and a filler. The filler fills in spaces defined by each three-dimensional core and any empty spaces in the building block. The one or more ballistic panels and the filler are inserted into the building block. The building block is shaped to interlock with other building blocks.

International Classification:

F41H 5/06

US Classification:

89 3602, 86 50

Abstract:

Methods and apparatus for providing ballistic protection and stopping high-velocity rounds or explosives and a secure trash can. These and other advantages may be provided by a secure trash can for containing explosions resulting from explosive devices deposited in the secure trash can. The secure trash can includes a curved wall, including an inner liner, a curved ballistic panel, including a three-dimensional core that defines spaces and acts as a truss for ballistic panel and a filler, the filler fills in spaces defined by the three-dimensional core, an outer layer, surrounding the curved ballistic panel, and a base, connected to the curved wall. The secure trash can may also include a lid, placed on the curved wall.

Appl. No.:

11/978663

Inventors:

David H. Warren - Stone Ridge NY, US

Assignee:

Armordynamics, Inc. - Stone Ridge NY

International Classification:

F41H 5/04

US Classification:

89 3602, 89 3608

Abstract:

An apparatus for providing protection from ballistic rounds, projectiles, fragments and explosives. The apparatus includes a core, grinding layer and bonding layer. The core is shaped and configured as a structural truss of the apparatus, in which the core includes a plurality of parallel, adjacent rows and the core distributes and dissipates force impacting on the apparatus. The grinding layer is positioned on at least one side of the core facing towards potential threats, in which the grinding layer grinds rounds, projectiles, fragments or other materials impacting the apparatus, helping to dissipate the impacting material and its momentum. The bonding layer bonds the grinding layer together and the grinding layer to the core and provides an outer coating to the apparatus on a side of the apparatus facing potential threats and through which rounds, projectiles, fragments or other materials impact and penetrate the apparatus.

Assignee:

Armordynamics, Inc. - Kingston NY

International Classification:

F41H 5/007

US Classification:

89 3617, 89902

Abstract:

A reactive armor that may include multiple layers. The reactive armor may include a self-healing outer layer, a ceramic tile layer and a backing layer. The ceramic tile layer may include a plurality of ceramic tiles and explosive material. The ceramic tiles may be hexagonal. The ceramic tiles may each define a hollow space in which the explosive material is deposited. The reactive armor may be combined with non-reactive armor.
