FR2777646A1 - Multipurpose baton for use by forces of law and order - Google Patents

Abstract

The baton consists of a handle (2) and a body (1) with a through channel (5) for discharging a tear gas or other gas from a cartridge (3) attached to it. A sliding ring (8) can be moved along the baton body, revealing a zone (9) of reduced section which allows it to flex and discharge gas each time an assailant is struck. Alternatively, gas can be discharged without striking the assailant by pressing on a button (7).

MULTIFUNCTIONAL STAMMER

  The present invention relates to a multifunction baton intended for defense and

the attack by the police.

  Most of the existing batons or Tonfas are either simple rubber batons or equivalent, or assembled mechanical elements, combining several functions

  mechanical complementary to the baton.

  The present invention provides a more dynamic solution allowing the law enforcement officer * either to defend and attack in the traditional way, * or to defend and attack by projecting from the attack end batons, tear gas or other, each time you baton; the command to open the gas valve being linked to the programmed deformation of the said baton around its center of rotation. * or to use the baton as a remote and directed gas projector in the

  aim to protect themselves and to flee the aggressor.

  J18 In order to facilitate understanding, we will agree to call according to the plan 1/1: 1 - the body of the baton 2 - the main handle of the baton 3 - the secondary handle of the baton 4 - the pressurized gas tank 5 - the longitudinal axial gas pipe 6- the gas pipe angle reference 7- the voluntary gas push button 8- the sliding ring allowing to choose the type of function 9- the body part of the baton of differentiated section authorizing and constituting a 2S axis of rotation of the baton - the gas outlet towards the aggressor 1l 1- the hollowed out part ensuring the actuation of the gas by bending of the gas pipe

  12- the center of rotation of the baton relative to the main handle.

  This baton comprises: a - the body of the baton 1 which is made of polyurethane or other suitable material

in use.

  - A main handle 2 and a secondary handle 3. This is screwed onto a cylindrical base forming part of the body of the baton. This handle 3 may contain a gas cartridge which is connected to the conduit 5 and which allows the gas to exit from the cartridge -55 4 until it is ejected at 10 by a hollow angle gear 6 ensuring the circulation of the gas in

the cylindrical conduit 5.

  y, 2 2777646 - a sliding ring 8 which can be operated by lateral sliding from position 8/1 which allows the baton to rotate around its center of rotation 12 at the

  position 8/2 which gives the baton its homogeneous rigidity.

  - A reduction in the section of the baton 9 calculated so as to ensure in position 8/1 of the ring a rotation of the active end 1 relative to the main handle 2. This axis of rotation is positioned so as to allow the free part of the gas pipe 5 to press on the valve of the gas cartridge thus ensuring the release of gas

  automatic and its exit through conduit 5.

  - a push button placed near the operator's fingers which allows him to

  Do trigger the gas outlet at any time regardless of the position of the ring 8.

  - a hollowed out part 11 allows the gas pipe 5 to bend and the valve to open

of the pressurized gas tank.

  - the part of the duct 5 is free in the space between the center of rotation 12 and the return

gas angle 6.

  In use, when the defender hits the aggressor in position 8/1 the gas escapes for the duration of contact with this aggressor and then stops automatically in the normal position. In position 8/2 the baton behaves like an unmarked baton but the push button 7 allows the operator at any time to trigger the gas outlet thus allowing

  project the gas at a distance and therefore protect the operator from the direct effect of the gas.

  > The push button can be positioned on handle 2 or made up of an external trigger. The secondary handle can be used to operate the baton with one or two mothers. In addition, the body of the baton may possibly consist of several cylindrical elements sliding one inside the other, allowing a reduction in the length of the

baton at rest.

Claims (2)

  Claim I - Defense and attack device for the police, characterized by   what it consists of a baton which can be articulated around a center of rotation 12 produced by a reduction in the section 9 of the machine or by a differentiation of structural rigidity, controlled by a sliding ring 8 this rotation ensuring the opening of the valve of the gas cartridge 4 contained in the secondary handle 3 automatically   each time I bends with respect to 2.   Claim 2 - Device according to claim 1 characterized in that the sliding ring 8 makes it possible to choose two different operating positions: - 8/1 ensuring at each strike a jet of gas as long as the contact with the aggressor takes place,   jeo - 8/2 functioning like an unmarked baton.   Claim 3 - Device according to the preceding claims, characterized in that   the operator can use the push button 7 to trigger the gas at any time, even without hit the abuser.   Claim 4 - Device according to the preceding claims, characterized in that the   ÀS baton is equipped with an axial gas duct 5 which connects the gas cartridge 4 to the outlet of the gas 10.   Claim 5 - Device according to claim 4 characterized in that the conduit of   axial gas is connected to the gas cartridge 4 by a bevel gear 6.   Claim 6 - Device according to the preceding claims, characterized in that the   2. push button 7 located near the operator's fingers can be operated at any time   and positioned either flush with the handle, or in the form of a traditional trigger.   Claim 7 - Device according to any one of the preceding claims,   characterized in that the body of the baton I can be made up of several concentric cylindrical elements sliding one inside the other, allowing a reduction in la la ungueur in the rest position.
