Abstract:
1. A bullet proof shield comprising: a) a frame defining a planar interior space; b) a plurality of layers of bullet proof material connected to said frame at peripheral edges of each layer of said bullet proof material to thereby form a planar array of a plurality of bullet proof layers across the interior space, said peripheral edges being connected to said frame to withstand substantial tensile force; c) wherein space is provided on at least one side of the plurality of layers to allow each of said layers to stretch from a shear mode to a tensile mode in response to the layers being impacted by a bullet to thereby dissipate kinetic energy of the bullet and preventing the bullet from penetrating through the plurality of layers; d) wherein said frame is enclosed within a case having hand grips on a first side of said case and a clip board on a second side of said case such that side shield including hand grips so said shield can be held in a protective posture to block bullets and said plurality of layers of bullet proof material are positioned between said first and second side; and e) wherein said case is bifurcated and said first side being on a first bifurcated part and said second side being a second bifurcated part, said first and second bifurcated part being hingedly connected along an adjacent edge of said first bifurcated part and an adjacent edge of said second bifurcated part.
