METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DEPLOYING AN ENTANGLEMENT DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240271906 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DEPLOYING AN ENTANGLEMENT DEVICE
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a method and apparatus for deploying an entanglement device using a handheld launcher to impede or restrain individuals.
- The handheld launcher consists of an upper launcher section and a lower chamber, designed to be held in one hand.
- The entanglement device, such as a net, is attached to the upper launcher section and unfurls upon launch.
- The lower chamber can be pressurized and is separated from the upper chamber by a valve or sacrificial diaphragm.
- Pressure from the lower chamber is released into the upper chamber to propel the entanglement device from the launcher.
- The lower chamber can be filled using a standard auto tire nozzle at the bottom of the device.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Handheld launcher for deploying entanglement devices.
- Pressurized lower chamber for propelling the entanglement device.
- Separation between lower and upper chambers for controlled release of pressure.
- Easy filling of the lower chamber using a standard auto tire nozzle.
Potential Applications: This technology could be used in law enforcement for crowd control or in security settings to restrain individuals.
Problems Solved:
- Provides a non-lethal method for impeding or restraining individuals.
- Offers a controlled and precise way to deploy entanglement devices.
Benefits:
- Enhances safety for both law enforcement personnel and individuals.
- Provides a versatile tool for various security applications.
Commercial Applications: Potential commercial applications include security companies, law enforcement agencies, and event management companies looking for non-lethal crowd control solutions.
Questions about Entanglement Device Deployment: 1. How does the handheld launcher ensure the entanglement device is deployed accurately? 2. What safety measures are in place to prevent misuse of the entanglement device?
Frequently Updated Research: There may be ongoing research into improving the design and effectiveness of entanglement devices for various applications.
Original Abstract Submitted
the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for deploying an entanglement device, which includes a handheld device that can launch the entanglement device such as a net, toward a person or group of people in an effort to impede or restrain. the launcher includes an upper launcher section and a lower chamber, and sized to be held in one hand. the entanglement device is coupled to the upper launcher section in a way that it unfurls when launched from the launcher. the lower chamber may be pressurized and separated from the upper chamber by a valve or sacrificial diaphragm. the pressure from the lower chamber may be abruptly relieved into the upper chamber to force the entanglement device from of the launcher. the filling of the lower chamber may be accomplished through a standard auto tire nozzle in a coupling at the bottom of the device.
