Anti-ballistic podium and applications thereof

Abstract

An Anti-Ballistic structure for use in a movable or stationary defense structure and an Anti-Ballistic Podium including the Anti-Ballistic structure. The Anti-Ballistic structure may include a first structural layer, a second structural layer, a first Anti-Ballistic layer disposed between the first structural layer and the second structural layer; and a second Anti-Ballistic layer disposed between the second structural layer and the first Anti-Ballistic layer.

We claim: 
     
         1 . An Anti-Ballistic Podium comprising:
 a front wall,   a first side wall extending at first angle to the front wall, and   a second side wall extending a second angle to the front wall, wherein the front wall, the first side wall, and the second side wall define an interior volume, and   wherein at least one of the front wall, the first side wall, and the second side wall include an Anti-Ballistic structure comprising:
 a first structural layer; 
 a second structural layer; 
 a first Anti-Ballistic layer disposed between the first structural layer and the second structural layer; and 
 a second Anti-Ballistic layer disposed between the second structural layer and the first Anti-Ballistic layer. 
   
     
     
         2 . The Anti-Ballistic Podium of  claim 1 , where in the Anti-Ballistic structure further comprises:
 a first elastomeric layer disposed between the first Anti-Ballistic layer disposed and the first structural layer.   
     
     
         3 . The Anti-Ballistic Podium of  claim 1 , where in the Anti-Ballistic structure further comprises a second elastomeric layer disposed between the second Anti-Ballistic layer disposed and the second structural layer. 
     
     
         4 . The Anti-Ballistic Podium of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first structural layer and the second structural layer are formed from an engineered wood material. 
     
     
         5 . The Anti-Ballistic Podium of  claim 1 , wherein the first Anti-Ballistic layer is formed using Aramid fibers. 
     
     
         6 . The Anti-Ballistic Podium of  claim 1 , wherein the second Anti-Ballistic layer is formed using an Anti-Ballistic ceramic material. 
     
     
         7 . The Anti-Ballistic Podium of  claim 1 , wherein the first elastomeric layer is closed-cell foam material. 
     
     
         8 . The Anti-Ballistic Podium of  claim 1 , wherein the second elastomeric layer is closed-cell foam material. 
     
     
         9 . The Anti-Ballistic Podium of  claim 1 , further comprising a slideable platform attached to a lower end of at least one of front wall, the first side wall, and the second side wall, wherein the slideable platform is configured to support a speaker standing thereon and comprises a pair of sliding members and a floor lock, both configured to support the slideable platform. 
     
     
         10 . The Anti-Ballistic Podium of  claim 1 , further comprising an L-shaped support bracket disposed between the first structural layer and the first elastomeric layer. 
     
     
         11 . The Anti-Ballistic Podium of  claim 1 , further comprising an L-shaped support bracket disposed between the second structural layer and the second elastomeric layer. 
     
     
         12 . An Anti-Ballistic structure comprising:
 a first structural layer;   a second structural layer;   a first Anti-Ballistic layer disposed between the first structural layer and the second structural layer; and   a second Anti-Ballistic layer disposed between the second structural layer and the first Anti-Ballistic layer.   
     
     
         13 . The Anti-Ballistic structure of  claim 12 , further comprising:
 a first elastomeric layer disposed between the first Anti-Ballistic layer disposed and the first structural layer.   
     
     
         14 . The Anti-Ballistic structure of  claim 12 , further comprising:
 a second elastomeric layer disposed between the second Anti-Ballistic layer disposed and the second structural layer.   
     
     
         15 . The Anti-Ballistic structure of  claim 12 , wherein at least one of the first structural layer and the second structural layer are formed from an engineered wood material. 
     
     
         16 . The Anti-Ballistic structure of  claim 12 , wherein the first Anti-Ballistic layer is formed using Aramid fibers. 
     
     
         17 . The Anti-Ballistic structure of  claim 12 , wherein the second Anti-Ballistic layer is formed using an anti-ballistic ceramic material. 
     
     
         18 . The Anti-Ballistic structure of  claim 12 , wherein the first elastomeric layer is closed-cell foam material. 
     
     
         19 . The Anti-Ballistic structure of  claim 12 , wherein the second elastomeric layer is closed-cell foam material. 
     
     
         20 . The Anti-Ballistic structure of  claim 12 , further comprising at least one of: an L-shaped support bracket disposed between the first structural layer and the first elastomeric layer;
 an L-shaped support bracket disposed between the second structural layer and the second elastomeric layer.
