Multipurpose stackable self-filling interlocking watertight modular barrier system

Abstract

Modular multipurpose, rapidly deployable, barriers that couple together into barrier walls and barrier blocks. The barrier walls are watertight, self-filling, and capable of being coupled horizontally without vertically lifting the barriers. The barriers are capable of being vertically and horizontally stacked in all directions while also allowing the stacked blocks to be offset and reinforced with poles, ropes and cables that thread through the stack vertically to support fencing and other materials. Horizontally, the barriers also permit poles, ropes and cables to be thread through the barriers greatly increasing their strength. The modular barriers are also stackable to be efficiently stored within truck and shipping container. The barriers may also be bullet proof.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A modular barrier, comprising:
 a bottom side;   a top side;   a vertical side;   an angled side;   a male coupling side;   a female coupling side;   wherein two or more identical modular barriers can be coupled side by side to form a barrier wall; and   wherein two or more identical modular barriers can be coupled to form a barrier cube.   
     
     
         2 . The modular barrier of  claim 1 , wherein when one or more modular barriers may be stacked on top of a barrier cube to form a barrier stack. 
     
     
         3 . The modular barrier of  claim 1 , wherein when one or more modular barriers may be offset between two modular barriers that have formed a wall, thereby making the barrier wall ridged and unable to curve. 
     
     
         4 . The modular barrier of  claim 1 , wherein when a modular barrier is stacked on top of two or four barrier cubes, equally offset between them, and wherein all the vertical pole, rope, or cable openings of the stacked barrier are aligned with all the vertical pole, rope, or cable opening in the barrier cubes below said barrier. 
     
     
         5 . The modular barrier of  claim 1 , wherein said barrier wall is watertight. 
     
     
         6 . The modular barrier of  claim 1 , wherein said male coupling side comprises an extended coupling and said female side comprises a female side receiving coupling. 
     
     
         7 . The modular barrier of  claim 6 , wherein said extended coupling and said female side receiving coupling are both cylinders shaped to fit within each other. 
     
     
         8 . The modular barrier of  claim 7 , further comprising a watertight seal. 
     
     
         9 . The modular barrier of  claim 1 , wherein said barrier is hollow and Tillable. 
     
     
         10 . The modular barrier of  claim 9 , wherein said barrier is capable of filling with running groundwater when it is present and automatically retaining said groundwater as ballast. 
     
     
         11 . The modular barrier of  claim 1 , further comprising a vertical bullet proof panel. 
     
     
         12 . The modular barrier of  claim 1 , further comprising a bottom side watertight seal that is drag resistant. 
     
     
         13 . The modular barrier of  claim 12 , wherein when a barrier is stacked on top of a barrier cube, then stack is watertight. 
     
     
         14 . The modular barrier of  claim 1 , further comprising a quick lock that allows said barrier wall to be coupled together horizontally without lifting said modular barriers vertically. 
     
     
         15 . The modular barrier of  claim 14 , further comprising a quick lock lock. 
     
     
         16 . The modular barrier of  claim 1 , further comprising pole, rope, or cable openings that run horizontally through said modular barrier's male and female coupling sides and vertically through said barrier's top and bottom. 
     
     
         17 . The modular barrier of  claim 1 , wherein said barrier cubes are sized such that a stack of four of said cubes closely fits the height and width dimensions of standard truck trailer or shipping container. 
     
     
         18 . The modular barrier of  claim 1 , further comprising internal reinforcement. 
     
     
         19 . The modular barrier of  claim 1 , further comprising a graphic panel on the vertical side. 
     
     
         20 . The modular barrier of  claim 1 , further comprising slide rails on the vertical side.
