Abstract

The self defense system for use particularly by taxi drivers includes a cylinder of compressed gas. The gas may for example have a suffocating or paralysing effect on those who inhale it. The cylinder has a valve intended to be operated by a lever on the end of which there is a pedal. The support housing for the cylinder is mounted in the taxi so that the pedal is conveniently placed for operation by the driver. The outlet from the gas cylinder is connected via a flexible rubber pipe to a branched joint. This feeds further pipes connected to gas diffusers. If the driver is in difficulty or danger of assault, he may operate the pedal to release gas into the passenger compartment of the vehicle.

Description

Le présente invention est relative a des perfectionnements apportés aux dispositifs de défense et notamment aux dispositifs d'autodéfense. A l'époque actuelle, où les nombreuses frustrations et la crainte de la punition relativement faible engendrent les violences et les agressions, il est nécessaire de disposer, ne serait-ce que pour des motifs securisants et dissuasifs, de dispositifs d'autodéfense mobiles et très faciles d'accès. L'accessibilité à ces dispositifs et la faculté de pouvoir exécuter rapidement le geste sauveur, constituent des conditions sine qua non d'un bon choix d'un tel dispositif. The present invention relates to improvements made to defense devices and in particular to self-defense devices. At the present time, where the numerous frustrations and the fear of the relatively weak punishment generate violence and aggressions, it is necessary to have, if only for reasons reassuring and dissuasive, of mobile devices of self-defense and very easy to access. Accessibility to these devices and the ability to be able to quickly execute the saving gesture are essential prerequisites for a good choice of such a device.

La bombe contenant un gaz sous pression constitue bien un tel dispositif t elle est facilement maniable, peut être placée dans un endroit discret et peu visible, tel une poche ou un sac de dame. I1 y a des cas, toutefois, où, malgré sa maniabilité, elle n'est d'aucun secours : un conducteur et notamment un conducteur de taxi ne peut pas s'en servir, ses mains étant constamment occupées, et de plus surveillées. The bomb containing a pressurized gas is indeed such a device t it is easy to handle, can be placed in a discreet and inconspicuous place, such as a ladies' pocket or bag. There are cases, however, where, despite its maneuverability, it is of no help: a driver and in particular a taxi driver cannot use it, his hands being constantly busy, and moreover watched.

La présente invention s'est par conséquent donné pour but de pourvoir à un nouveau dispositif d'autodéfense qui répond mieux aux nécessités de la pratique que les dispositifs visant au même but antérieurement connus, notamment en ce qu'il peut être actionné autrement qu'avec les mains, en ce qu'il peut etre placé dans des endroits discrets et non prévisibles, et en ce que l'on peut diriger le jet du gaz de défense (gaz suffocant ou "paralysant") sortant de ce dispositif dans toutes directions voulues. The object of the present invention is therefore to provide a new self-defense device which better meets the needs of the practice than devices aiming at the same object previously known, in particular in that it can be actuated otherwise than with the hands, in that it can be placed in discreet and unpredictable places, and in that one can direct the jet of the defense gas (suffocating or "paralyzing" gas) leaving this device in all directions wanted.

La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif d'autodéfense perfectionné caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend en combinaison - une bombe contenant un gaz sous pression, logée dans un
boitier et actionnée par un levier à pédale - une conduite souple de sortie du gaz de la bombe - un capuchon-poussoir de la bombe conçu pour être actionné
par ledit levier à pédale et relié à ladite conduite sou
ple, et - un diffuseur à gaz.
The present invention relates to an improved self-defense device characterized in that it comprises in combination - a bomb containing a pressurized gas, housed in a
casing and actuated by a pedal lever - a flexible gas outlet pipe from the bomb - a bomb push-cap designed to be actuated
by said pedal lever and connected to said sou pipe
ple, and - a gas diffuser.

Selon un mode de réalisation avantageux du dispositif objet de la présente invention, la bombe contenant le gaz sous pression est logée à l'intérieur d'un boitier dans lequel elle est maintenue par un support. According to an advantageous embodiment of the device which is the subject of the present invention, the bomb containing the pressurized gas is housed inside a box in which it is held by a support.

Ces supports spécialement adaptés aux différentes dimensions de bombes, permettent leur transport facile et amortissent les chocs que ce dispositif peut éventuellement subir. These supports specially adapted to the different dimensions of bombs, allow their easy transport and absorb the shocks that this device may possibly undergo.

Suivant un autre mode de réalisation de l'objet de l'invention, la conduite souple de transfert du gaz libéré par la bombe,comporte une pluralité de bifurcations. According to another embodiment of the object of the invention, the flexible pipe for transferring the gas released by the bomb, comprises a plurality of bifurcations.

Ces conduites peuvent être placées dans les endroits particulièrement exposés, par exemple à l'arrière du taxi. These pipes can be placed in particularly exposed places, for example at the back of the taxi.

Conformément à l'invention, le boitier contenant la bombe est pourvu de moyens de fixation et/ou de calage. According to the invention, the housing containing the bomb is provided with fixing and / or wedging means.

Outre les dispositions qui précèdent, l'invention comprend encore d'autres dispositions, qui ressortiront de la description qui va suivre. In addition to the foregoing provisions, the invention also comprises other provisions, which will emerge from the description which follows.

La présente invention vise plus particulièrement un nouveau dispositif d'autodéfense, ainsi que les dispositifs et ensembles dans lesquels est inclus le dispositif conforme à la présente invention. The present invention relates more particularly to a new self-defense device, as well as the devices and assemblies in which the device according to the present invention is included.

L'invention pourra être mieux comprise à l'aide du complément de description qui va suivre, qui se réfère à un exemple de réalisation du dispositif conforme à la présente invention. The invention can be better understood using the additional description which follows, which refers to an embodiment of the device according to the present invention.

Il doit être bien entendu, toutefois, que l'exemple de réalisation décrit ci-après et représenté sur le dessin annexé, est donné uniquement à titre d'illustration de l'objet de l'invention, mais n'en constitue en aucune ma nière une limitation. It should be understood, however, that the embodiment described below and shown in the accompanying drawing, is given solely by way of illustration of the subject of the invention, but does not in any way constitute it. denies a limitation.

Ainsi : - la figure 1 représente le dispositif vu de l'extérieur, et - la figure 2 représente schématiquement une coupe verticale
du boitier contenant la bombe.
Thus: - Figure 1 shows the device seen from the outside, and - Figure 2 shows schematically a vertical section
of the case containing the bomb.

Le boitier 1 représenté sur la figure 1 et qui est pourvu d'un couvercle pour pouvoir introduire la bombe à l'intérieur, est également pourvu d'une ouverture 9 prévue pour le levier à pédale 8 qui est relie à la bombe logée à l'intérieur dudit boitier 1. Comme on le voit sur cette figure, de boitier 1, part également la conduite 4 - par exemple en caoutchouc - ; ladite conduite véhicule le gaz émis par la bombe. Cette conduite peut, si on le désire, se dédoubler (6) au moyen d'un séparateur 5. On adapte un diffuseur de gaz 7 à l'extrémité de la conduite. Le boitier 1 est en outre pourvu d'un ou deplusieurs moyens il de fixation, en un endroit discret, par exemple près du pied du conducteur. The box 1 shown in Figure 1 and which is provided with a cover to be able to introduce the bomb inside, is also provided with an opening 9 provided for the pedal lever 8 which is connected to the bomb housed in the 'inside said housing 1. As can be seen in this figure, from housing 1, also part of the pipe 4 - for example rubber -; said pipe conveys the gas emitted by the bomb. This pipe can, if desired, be split (6) by means of a separator 5. A gas diffuser 7 is fitted at the end of the pipe. The housing 1 is further provided with one or more fixing means there, in a discreet location, for example near the driver's foot.

I1 suffit donc d'appuyer sur le levier à pédale 8 lequel actionne le capuchon-poussoir 3 (cf. figure 2) de la bombe 2 logée à l'intérieur du boitier 1, pour propulser le gaz contenu dans la bombe hors de cette derniere et à travers la conduite 4, afin qu'il vienne surprendre l'agresseur. I1 therefore suffices to press the pedal lever 8 which actuates the push-cap 3 (cf. FIG. 2) of the bomb 2 housed inside the casing 1, to propel the gas contained in the bomb out of the latter. and through line 4, so that he comes to surprise the aggressor.

Comme on le voit sur la figure 2, la bombe 2 est bien calée à l'intérieur du boitier 1 sur un support 10 - par exemple en mousse de polystyrene - et est par là même bien protégée contre les accidents de parcours.As can be seen in FIG. 2, the bomb 2 is well wedged inside the casing 1 on a support 10 - for example made of polystyrene foam - and is thereby well protected against accidents on the way.

Le dispositif d'autodéfense contre les agressions peut évidemment être réalisé en toutes formes, en toutes dimensions et en toutes matières appropriées. The self-defense device against aggression can obviously be produced in any shape, in any size and in any suitable material.

Il résulte de la description qui précède que, quels que soient les modes de réalisation et d'application adoptés, l'on obtient un nouveau dispositif d'autodéfense qui présente par rapport aux dispositifs antérieurement connus, des avantages importants dont certains ont été mentionnés dans ce qui précède et dont d'autres avantages ressortiront de l'utilisation dudit dispositif. It follows from the foregoing description that, whatever the embodiments and application adopted, a new self-defense device is obtained which has, compared to previously known devices, significant advantages, some of which have been mentioned in the above and other advantages of which will emerge from the use of said device.

Ainsi que cela ressort de ce qui précède, l'invention ne se limite nullement à ceux de ses modes de réalisation et d'application qui viennent d'être décrits de façon plus explicite ; elle en embrasse au contraire toutes les variantes qui peuent venir à l'esprit du technicien en la matière, sans s'écarter du cadre, ni de la portée, de la présente invention.  As is apparent from the above, the invention is in no way limited to those of its embodiments and of application which have just been described more explicitly; on the contrary, it embraces all the variants which may come to the mind of the technician in the matter, without departing from the framework, or the scope, of the present invention.
