US12523450 - Load bearing cover for integrating a bolt free bullet proof protective shield having a drop-down shield cover expansion kit and rifle support bracket and method of use

A portable bullet-proof shield comprising a load bearing shield cover for integrating a bolt free bullet resistant ballistic protective shield; said bullet resistant ballistic protective shield has no bolts, screws, or holes drilled into the ballistic protective shield, thereby not compromising the integrity of the shield; said load bearing shield cover has a high impact forearm padding, a forearm strap, and an integrated adjustable handle, which is intended to reduce fatigued and increase mobility of a user; one or more clips that are interwoven into said load bearing shield cover to provide clamping support for connecting a drop-down shield cover to said load bearing shield cover; said drop-down shield cover will provide further bullet proof protection beyond the size of said load bearing shield cover to then drop down and protect the lower area of a user's body, and a rifle support bracket having two connector pieces, a back connector piece which is interwoven into said load bearing shield cover and a front connector piece which is also interwoven into said load bearing shield cover and one or more screw to hold the two connect pieces together.

This patent describes a portable bullet-proof shield featuring a load-bearing cover that integrates a bolt-free ballistic protective shield, enhancing user mobility and reducing fatigue. It includes a drop-down shield cover for additional protection and a rifle support bracket designed for secure attachment and stability.

Claim 1

1 . A portable ballistic-resistant shield comprising: a load-bearing support system having a frame that defines a perimeter configured to receive and engage at least a portion of a removable ballistic-resistant panel; and a compression system coupled to the load-bearing support system and configured to apply inward compression that resists the panel displacing from an installed position at the perimeter. a load-bearing support system having a frame that defines a perimeter configured to receive and engage at least a portion of a removable ballistic-resistant panel; and a compression system coupled to the load-bearing support system and configured to apply inward compression that resists the panel displacing from an installed position at the perimeter.
