Description (Summary of the Invention)
The invention is directed to defense barrier systems for
preventing unauthorized boarding or entry onto a maritime vessel, offshore platform, and/or high-risk building. The invention consists first of all of a framework of stainless steel, poltrusion, or similar substance. This framework is part of a unit-based system that is attached side-by-side along the railing of a ship, offshore platform, high-risk building, perimeter wall, etc. This attached framework houses a series of sharp fang-like protrusions, blades, and/or spikes in a position that dramatically hinders and ideally prevents an unauthorized person from intruding into the protected territory. The invention further utilizes a triangular safety cage that covers and reveals the sharp fang-like protrusions, blades, and/or spikes at will. The triangular safety cage is also designed to be an additional barrier against unauthorized persons, being at an angle that prevents unauthorized persons from easily climbing past it. If desired, the unit can be electrified by installing electrodes underneath or between the fang-like protrusions, blades, and/or spikes. Background of the Invention
The present invention relates to the field of security systems for maritime vessels, offshore platforms, high-risk buildings, perimeter walls, ad infinitum, and particularly defense barrier systems for preventing the unwanted boarding or entry of unauthorized and hostile persons.
Pirates, thieves, terrorists, and other hostiles pose a serious and constant threat to maritime vessels, offshore platforms and rigs, other high-risk buildings and structures, including embassies and government buildings, as well as perimeter walls. While some passive defense systems are currently in use, in particular razor wire, they are usually very primitive and limited in their effectiveness. Their effectiveness is often supplemented with more active security methods, in particular armed security and/or military personnel.
The most common passive defense method, especially for maritime vessels, is the installation of razor wire. Razor wire, however, has proven to be ineffective, easily removed by the unauthorized boarder, and hazardous to the crew during installation and removal. The goal of this invention is to avoid the usage of razor wire completely, and instead create a platform brandishing large, razor-sharp fangs and/or spikes. Furthermore, the platform also utilizes a large triangular safety cage for the purpose of enhancing the safety of the device as well as providing an extra layer of deterrence, in that the triangular safety cage itself is very difficult for a human hostile to bypass. The complete system is comprised of a series of units that are connected to each other and ideally form a continuous barrier, or at least protecting vulnerable areas.
Description of Drawings
Figure 1. Base Panel and Framework with Hinges. A framework is constructed from either stainless steel, poltrusion, or a similar substance. The diameter of the frame is between one and two inches . A framework is constructed eight feet wide and three feet tall, six feet wide and two feet three inches, or similar measurements. Framework bars are installed in intervals of approximately eight to nine inches to later house the fanglike protrusions, blades, and/or spikes. The side pieces of the framework extend upwards to a total of four and a half to six feet (depending on overall model size and ratio) . These upward frame pieces are on a single hinge system. They can be
collapsed for transport and opened and locked into place for installation. These upward frame pieces are attached to the railing of a ship, offshore platform, the side of a high-risk building, perimeter wall, ad infinitum. Framework bars are run across to the two upward pieces for the purposes of provided a platform to lock the triangular safety cage into place when the fangs/blades/spikes are exposed. Hinges are attached to the top of the base panel to attach the triangular safety cage.
Figure 2. Side view of the fang-like protrusions, blades, and/or spikes. In this model, a blade is utilized which is cut from a single sheet of stainless steel metal and sharpened. The back end is then bent into tabs which are bolted, welded, or otherwise attached to the vertical bars of the framework as seen in figure 1. The blade can be a single fang, as seen in this diagram, or can be a cluster of fangs or spikes and create a variety of two or even three dimensional razor-sharp pointed devices as desired. Also in this figure is displayed a steel, poltrusion, fiberglass, or other material, panel, to be
installed between the fang-like protrusions, blades, and/or spikes .
Figure 3. Front view of the triangular safety cage. Eighteen triangular structures (see figure 4) are installed side-by-side onto a steel or poltrusion frame of eight feet by three feet (for the eight feet by three feet model) . They are installed with a distance between them of between four and eight inches. An eight foot framework bar is installed on the top of the triangular safety cage, and a full panel covers the back of the triangular safety cage.
Figure 4. Side view of the triangular safety cage. The triangular safety cage is comprised of eighteen triangular structures (for the eight feet by three feet model). These individual triangular structures are comprised of three framework bars of three feet in length (for the eight feet by three feet model) thattached together by a series of triangular or similar brackets. The two outer triangular structures use a triangular panel to enclose the safety cage.
Figure 5. Complete construction of the unit, with the
triangular safety cage in the full, upright position, and the fang-like protrusions exposed.
Figure 6. Complete construction of the unit, emphasizing the ability of the safety cage to open and close, and thereby exposing and covering the fang-like protrusions. In the upper left illustration, the unit is in the process of opening. In the bottom right illustration, the unit is closed with the triangular safety cage covering the fangs, blades, elements, and/or other dangerous elements.
