Anti-ballistic barrier with extendable retention system
An anti-ballistic barrier system with a plurality of support mounts and an anti-ballistic shield configured to extend across a targeted area. The plurality of support mounts is configured to couple the shield to a support structure adjacent the targeted area. A plurality of extendable connectors extends between the anti-ballistic shield and the plurality of support mounts. A polyester shield cover may extend over the anti-ballistic shield. The plurality of extendable connectors may be positioned at regular intervals around a perimeter of the shield and may be formed of a material having an elongation percentage property of at least 100%. The anti-ballistic shield may be movable between a retracted position in which a majority of the targeted area is exposed and an extended position in which the anti-ballistic shield extends across a majority of the targeted area.

3 . The anti-ballistic barrier system of claim 1 , wherein the at least a first support mount comprises a bar secured to the support structure and the at least a first support mount is configured to loop around the bar.
4 . The anti-ballistic barrier system of claim 1 , wherein the at least a first support mount comprises a plurality of track rollers.
5 . The The anti-ballistic barrier system of claim 1 , wherein each of the at least one extendable connector is formed of a material having an elongation percentage property of at least 100%.
6 . The anti-ballistic barrier system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one extendable connector comprises a plurality of separate extendable connectors, each separately attached to the anti-ballistic shield and to the at least one support mount.
7 . The anti-ballistic barrier system of claim 1 , further comprising at least a second support mount configured to couple a second support structure below the targeted area.
8 . The anti-ballistic barrier system of claim 7 , wherein the at least a second support mount is releasably coupled to the second support structure.
9 . The anti-ballistic barrier system of claim 1 , further comprising at least a third support mount configured to couple a third support structure beside the targeted area.
10 . The anti-ballistic barrier system of claim 1 , wherein the anti-ballistic barrier system is configured to stop a projectile from passing the anti-ballistic shield by absorbing a portion of the energy of the projectile.
11 . An anti-ballistic barrier system comprising:
an anti-ballistic shield formed of a flexible poly-aramid anti-ballistic material and configured to extend across a targeted area;
at least a first support mount configured to couple with a support structure adjacent to the targeted area; and
at least a first extendable connector attached to the anti-ballistic shield, wherein the at least a first extendable connector is configured to extend between the anti-ballistic shield and the at least a first support mount and moveably couple the anti-ballistic shield to the at least one support mount, wherein the at least a first extendable connector is configured to move horizontally in relation to the at least a first support mount, and wherein each of the at least one extendable connector is formed of a material having an elongation percentage property of at least 50%.
12 . The anti-ballistic barrier system of claim 11 , wherein the anti-ballistic shield is horizontally movable between an extended position in which the anti-ballistic shield extends across a majority of the targeted area and a retracted position in which a majority of the targeted area is exposed.
13 . The anti-ballistic barrier system of claim 11 , wherein the at least a first support mount comprises a bar secured to the support structure and the at least a first support mount is configured to loop around the bar.
