Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for immobilizing moving targets such as animals or men, and more particularly a device whose cartridges can be used in conventional weapons.
  • the main problem inherent in neutralizing or capturing a living being lies in immobilizing the subject without hurting it.
  • cartridges for firearms using bullets made of flexible material such as rubber for example This type of ammunition can neutralize an animal or a human being, but has the disadvantage of causing injuries, sometimes serious depending on the point of impact of the bullet.
  • the object of the present invention is to obviate the aforementioned drawbacks by providing a capture device comprising a propellant and a projectile comprising masses connected by a flexible link, not causing injury to the subject against which it is used while guaranteeing a effective immobilization.
  • the device is distinguished by the characteristics listed in claim 1.
  • Figure 1 is a side view in partial section of the device according to the present invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a top view in partial section of the device illustrated in FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 3 is an end view of the projectile illustrated in FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 4 is a view in longitudinal section of a variant of the projectile illustrated in FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 5 is a view in longitudinal section of a second variant of the projectile illustrated in FIG. 1.
  • the capture device comprises in its different variants, a propellant and a projectile.
  • FIGS 1 and 2 illustrate an embodiment of the capture device.
  • the projectile 47 is composed of two symmetrical masses each comprising a projectile head 47 ', 47 "secured to a base 48', 48". These bases 48 ′, 48 "are extended by a semi-cylindrical tail intended to be introduced into the end of the barrel 49 of a firearm such as a revolver or a pistol.
  • the projectile is propelled by a blank cartridge for example.
  • the two heads 47 ′, 47 ′′ are connected together by a flexible link 50.
  • This link 50 is fixed in the base 48 ′ while the other end of the link 50 is secured to the base 48 ′′
  • the link 50 is wound on top of the heads 47 ′, 47 ′′ without surrounding them as can be seen in FIG. 1.
  • An envelope 51 generally made of cardboard or plastic, surrounds and holds the two half projectiles side by side 47 ', 48', 47 ", 48".
  • This envelope has an opening at its end opposite to the barrel of the weapon which facilitates its separation during the departure of the shot.
  • the projectile heads 47 ', 47 are provided respectively with external fins 52', 52" and internal fins 53 ', 53 "which promote the separation of the two half projectiles 47 ', 47 ", 48', 48" in flight.
  • the envelope 51 tears and falls back in front of the barrel and the projectiles 47 ', 47 “, 48', 48” tend to move away from each other in opposite directions in a plane horizontal until the link 50 connecting them is fully tensioned.
  • the central part of the link 50 will touch the subject and by inertia the half-projectiles 47 ', 48' and 47 “, 48” will surround and immobilize the subject.
  • peaks or hooks 54 fixed in the bases 48 ', 48 "of the projectiles. These hooks 54 have the function of hanging in the clothing or in the skin of the captured subject, thus preventing easy release.
  • Marks 55 are made by any suitable means on the semi-cylindrical rods extending the bases 48 ', 48 ". These marks 55 serve as a reference and allow to adjust the introduction of the half rods in the barrel. It is thus possible by introducing the rod of the projectile 47 more or less deeply into the barrel 49 of the weapon to adjust the shooting distance.
  • FIG. 3 is an end view of the two half projectiles 47 ′, 47 ′′ without their protective envelope 51.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates a variant of the projectile illustrated in FIG. 1.
  • This projectile also consists of two half-projectiles each comprising a head 47 ', 47 "secured to a base 48', 48".
  • the bases 48 'and 48 each receive the end of a flexible link 50.
  • a channel 56 is formed in the center of the rod made up of the two half-rods extending the bases 48', 48".
  • This channel 56 opens at one of its ends in the barrel 49 of the weapon and at its other end in a recess 57 located at the junction point of heads 47 ', 47 "and bases 48', 48".
  • This recess 57 communicates with cavities 58 ', 58 "formed in the projectile heads 47', 47".
  • a powder charge or a rocket fills the cavities 58 ', 58 "of each half-projectile.
  • Rapid wicks 59', 59" are in contact with the powder charges at one of their ends and open into the barrel 49 of the weapon through the channel 56.
  • the start of the blow ignites the rapid wicks 59 ', 59 "causing the combustion of the powder or the ignition of the rockets contained in the cavities 58', 58".
  • Circular orifices of small diameter 60 ', 60 are provided in the bases 48', 48" of the half projectiles and allow the evacuation of the combustion gases of the charges located in the cavities 48 ', 48 ".
  • This variant offers the advantage of increasing the effect of encircling the subject during the impact which is caused not only because of the inertia of the half projectiles but also thanks to the thrust generated by the combustion of the charges of powder.
  • FIG. 5 illustrates a second variant of the projectile illustrated in FIG. 1.
  • the channel 46 communicates via passages 61 ', 61 "with the cavities 58', 58" located in the heads 47 ', 47 ".
  • the explosion of the propellant charge causes an overpressure in the cavities 58 ', 58".
  • the pressure thus created in the cavities causes a reaction effect when the gases escape through the orifices 60'60 "increasing the effect of inertia during the winding of the half projectiles around the subject at the time of impact.
  • the flexible links connecting the elements constituting the projectile may include attachment members.
  • These organs have the function, after winding the projectile around the subject, to hang in the clothing or in the skin of the subject thereby increasing the difficulty of being released from the projectile.
  • These organs may consist of hooks or hooks fixed by any suitable means and distributed along the flexible link.
  • these members can be in the form of roughness such as that found on traditional barbed wire.
