ABSTRACT:
Removable bulletproof apparatus for a vehicle includes a transparent panel which is secured to or disposed adjacent to a vehicle window and a flexible curtain is secured to a bracket to which the bottom portion of the transparent panel is secured. Both the transparent panel and the curtain are bulletproof. Both the panel and the curtain are easily installed and easily removed from their common bracket and from the vehicle. Depending on the particular design or structure of a vehicle in which the apparatus is installed, various top bracket structures may be used. The curtain is made of layers of woven cloth, preferably of an aramid fiber, such as a "Kevlar" cloth. In one embodiment, as for example, for use by law enforcement vehicles, the curtain includes a bottom flap or portion that may be pivoted down when the door is opened to provide an officer with essentially a full length bulletproof shield. The full length shield includes both the transparent panel and the curtain and its flap. A similar curtain and transparent panel may be secured to and behind the front seat to protect the occupants of the front seat from bullets fired from the rear of the vehicle or from rearwardly of the front door.
