Abstract
A collapsible ballistic shield which provides a degree of protection against ballistic threats. The shield includes a head plate, an upper torso plate, a lower torso plate, an upper lock-and-release hinge joint, a lower lock-and-release hinge joint, a primary handle, and a strap-mounting fastener. The head plate is positioned opposite to the lower torso plate, across the upper torso plate to outline a shape of a body. The head plate is pivotably attached to the upper torso plate by the upper lock-and-release hinge joint. The lower torso plate is pivotably attached to the upper torso plate by the lower lock-and-release hinge joint. Resultantly, the shield may be collapsed, expanded, and broken down. The primary handle provides a grasping point and is mounted to a rear surface of the upper torso plate. The strap-mounting fastener allows the user to attach the shield to external structures.
