UTILITY MODEL DESCRIPTION

Field of the Invention

The field of the invention relates to a shielded briefcase for personal protection built in with a level of antiballistic protection. More particularly the field of the invention relates to a safety device usable as ballistic shield for the protection against weapon attacks.

PRIOR ART

Specially, the present invention comprises a four-section folded panel so that they are folded together to form a bag which configures a briefcase.
Traditionally, antiballistic panels hays been used for personal protection. Through Patent DE-2943680 A1, a flat shielded element is protected, which has a plate made of a hard material that breaks at shootings, being arranged in its rear part a material which inhibits them. Special fabrics made of aramid fiber are proposed as shooting inhibitor materials, which form multiple layers independently forged and only properly attached to each other. This protective fabric is intended to maintain as a united construction the hard materiel destroyed or deformed by a shot. However, this invention does not get a sufficiently protective effect despite the high surface weight.
Considering the foregoing, it is necessary to develop a protective system having lightweight shield and being transportable which may fulfill the function of fully protecting the user's body.

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

One object of this utility model is to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art. More particularly, an object of this utility model is to provide a shielded briefcase that can be used as protective shield.
In accordance with these objects, as well as any other that may be permitted, a feature of this utility model is an arrangement of the safety device.
The novel features which are considered as the basis for the invention are particularly set forth in the appended claims and the advantages thereof will be better understood from the following detailed description, with the preferred embodiments and appropriate reference to the accompanying drawings.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES

In order to better understand the invention and its advantages compared to the known art, possible illustrative embodiments set forth in the accompanying figures not limiting the application of these principles, are described below.

FIG. 1: shows a view of the safety briefcase in the folded position for being used as a briefcase,

FIG. 2: shows a schematic view of the safety briefcase in the deployed position for being used as a shield.
