Abstract

A razor wire barrier or container is disclosed. In some embodiments, the razor wire container includes a plurality of walls defining an interior area for securing object(s) therein. The razor wire container may further include panels or razor wire along a frame defined by the plurality of walls, and a component receptacle extending along the frame. The razor wire container may include a movable access component to provide access to the object(s). The component receptacle is operable to receive a component of a machine for moving the frame. In some embodiments, the component receptacle is a hollow member operable to receive a forklift prong. In some embodiments, the section of razor wire includes one or more panels of razor wire.

Claims (26)

1. A razor wire barrier comprising:

a frame comprising:

a plurality of perimeter posts extending from a floor; and

a cross post extending between two adjacent perimeter posts of the plurality of perimeter posts;

a plurality of razor wire panels coupled to the frame, wherein each of the plurality of razor wire panels extends vertically from the floor, and wherein the plurality of razor wire panels and the frame define a first main side opposite a second main side, and a first end opposite a second end;

a movable access component defining the first end, wherein the movable access component is rotatably coupled to one of the plurality of perimeter posts, and wherein the movable access component comprises:

a panel frame; and

a razor wire panel coupled to an exterior surface of the panel frame, wherein the razor wire panel is a single, continuous panel extending entirely across the first end, between two adjacent perimeter posts, when the razor wire panel is in a closed configuration, wherein the plurality of razor wire panels coupled to the frame and the razor wire panel coupled to the panel frame define an interior area, and wherein each of the plurality of perimeter posts, the cross post, and the panel frame is positioned within the interior area; and

a component receptacle extending along an outer side of the floor, wherein the component receptacle is operable to receive a component for moving the frame, and wherein the component receptacle extends entirely between a pair of opposing walls of the frame.

2. The razor wire barrier according to claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of perimeter posts extends substantially perpendicularly from the floor, and wherein the cross post is oriented substantially perpendicular to each of the plurality of perimeter posts.

3. The razor wire barrier according to claim 1 , wherein the floor comprises a wire fencing.

4. The razor wire barrier according to claim 1 , wherein the component receptacle includes a hollow member.

5. The razor wire barrier according to claim 4 , further comprising a second hollow member proximate the hollow member, wherein the hollow member and the second hollow member are oriented parallel to one another, and wherein the second hollow member extends entirely between the pair of opposing walls of the frame.

6. A razor wire container, comprising:

a frame comprising:

a plurality of perimeter posts extending from a floor; and

a cross post extending between two adjacent perimeter posts of the plurality of perimeter posts;

a plurality of razor wire panels coupled to the frame, wherein each of the plurality of razor wire panels extends vertically from the floor, wherein at least one of the plurality of razor wire panels is coupled to an exterior surface of the cross post and to an exterior surface of each of the two adjacent perimeter posts, and wherein the plurality of razor wire panels and the frame define a first main side opposite a second main side, and a first end opposite a second end;

a movable access component defining the first end, wherein the movable access component is rotatably coupled to one of the plurality of perimeter posts, and wherein the movable access component comprises:

a panel frame comprising a plurality of frame components; and

a razor wire panel coupled to an exterior surface of each of the plurality of panel frame components, wherein the razor wire panel is a single, continuous panel extending entirely across the first end, between two adjacent perimeter posts, when the razor wire panel is in a closed configuration, wherein the plurality of razor wire panels coupled to the frame and the razor wire panel coupled to the panel frame define an interior area, and wherein each of the plurality of perimeter posts, the cross post, and the panel frame is positioned within the interior area; and

a component receptacle extending along an outer side of the floor, wherein the component receptacle is operable to receive a component for moving the frame, and wherein the component receptacle extends entirely between a pair of opposing walls of the frame.

7. The razor wire container according to claim 6 , wherein each of the plurality of perimeter posts extends substantially perpendicularly from the floor, and wherein the cross post is oriented substantially perpendicular to each of the plurality of perimeter posts.

8. The razor wire container according to claim 6 , wherein the floor comprises a wire fencing.

9. The razor wire container according to claim 6 , wherein the component receptacle includes a hollow member.

10. The razor wire container according to claim 9 , further comprising a second hollow member proximate the hollow member, wherein the hollow member and the second hollow member are oriented parallel to one another, and wherein the first and second hollow members extend entirely between opposite facing walls of the frame.
