Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a falling-type capture tool that makes difficult the lethal weapon from being used, and at the same time, maintains a capture state for a long time by installing the falling type capture tool at the entrance of a store and at the ceiling part of a counter for causing it to fall, if needed. SOLUTION: This falling-type capture tool is equipped with a plurality of frame members, formed by a strip of shelter plate which is extended in a horizontal direction, and a flexible member for successively interlocking the frame members being adjacent in the vertically positions. The plurality of frame members can be nested in an adjacent frame member and have shapes and dimensions for accommodating successively. Each shelter plate has a light- shielding property and strength for preventing light and the offensive weapon from passing smoothly. The flexible member ahs cutting strength, where cutting cannot be made easily by an edged tool. The shelter plates are formed, for example, in the woven structure of iron plates, wires, and piano wires. The flexible member is a wire or the like.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a device that is installed at the entrance or exit of a bank, convenience store, or other store, or at the ceiling of a counter, and is dropped when necessary to capture a robber or other criminal underneath. More particularly, the present invention relates to a capturing device having a structure suitable for capturing a criminal possessing a weapon.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A drop-type capture device for capturing a criminal trying to escape by setting a capture net on a ceiling portion of an entrance or exit of a bank or a store and dropping it appropriately is known.

[0003]

A capture net that has fallen on a criminal trying to escape will prevent the criminal from moving freely, so that the escape can be delayed and, in some cases, can be overtaken by a clerk. is there. However, because the net is flexible, it is possible for criminals to lift the net and escape, and if the criminal has a weapon, cut out the net or remove bullets from the mesh. It can be fired and may harm clerks or third parties. Because of this danger, even if the criminal is captured by the net, he is hesitant to approach it, and in the meantime he cannot lift or cut the net and prevent him from fleeing, The device is incomplete.

[0004] The present invention provides a drop-type capture device that can prevent a criminal from escaping for a longer period of time and makes it difficult to use even if the criminal possesses a weapon. It is an issue.

[0005]

In the drop-type capture device of the present invention, a plurality of frame members 1 formed by a horizontally elongated strip-shaped shielding plate 2 and vertically adjacent frame members are sequentially connected. And a flexible member 5. The plurality of frame members have shapes or dimensions that can be sequentially housed in a nested structure in adjacent frame members, and each shielding plate has a light-shielding property and strength that prevents light and a weapon from passing smoothly, and is flexible. The member has a cutting strength that cannot be easily cut with a blade.

The shielding plate 2 may have a woven structure in which, for example, an iron plate, a laminated plate of a synthetic resin plate and a fine mesh, or a thin wire and a piano wire are woven vertically and horizontally. The flexible member is a cord having high cutting strength, preferably a wire. The plane shape of the frame member 1 is generally a square, a circle, an ellipse, or the like. For example, when the frame member 1 is installed between the inside door and the outside door of a bank entrance, the shape is adjusted to the installation space. Preferably, it is shaped. The band-shaped shielding plate 2 may be a linear, bent, or bent one according to the planar shape of the frame member. In order to allow a plurality of frame members to be sequentially housed in a nested structure, the plane dimensions of the frame are sequentially increased or decreased, or the shielding plates on both sides in the vertical cross section of the frame member form a U-shaped or inverted C-shaped. The shielding plate is inclined as described above, or these are used together. The flexible member 5 that connects the adjacent frame members 1a and 1b
Has a length corresponding to the width dimension in the vertical direction.

Each frame member 1 may be formed entirely of a single shielding plate, but as described in claim 2, a plurality of shielding plates 2 are provided.
It is more preferable to adopt a structure in which the small ends are connected to each other with a flexible member such as a wire so as to be able to move slightly. With this structure, even if the frame member dropped from above collides with the criminal's body, only the falling load of one shield plate acts instantaneously. The impact acting on the surface is reduced. From this point of view, when the shield plate is made of, for example, an iron plate, a fold is formed so that the vertical cross section becomes zigzag to provide elasticity, or a cushioning material is attached to the lower side of the lower frame member, or the lower side is attached. It is preferable to bend in the horizontal direction so as to increase the contact area when a collision occurs.

[0008] The drop-type capture device constructed as described above has a nested structure in which frame members are nested in a place where a criminal with a weapon is expected to appear, such as a bank or a store, for example, at the ceiling of a counter or an entrance. It is installed in a housed state, and a movable hook 11 for preventing falling is attached. This hook is
The hook is disengaged by an operation button or the like arranged inside the counter or under the person in charge of the person in charge. Further, the hook 11 is released by a hook release signal of the push button or the like and an AND signal of a human sensor provided near the installation location of the capturing device. The hook 11 is released when the criminal approaches the counter in an attempt to receive the money, or when the criminal who has taken the money approaches the entrance to escape. The frame member 1 falls on the criminal while extending in the vertical direction, and confine the criminal in the criminal. The upper frame member is suspended from above by a wire or the like so as to stop at an appropriate height.

If a ceiling is provided on the upper frame member, the upper frame member can be dropped to a position lower than the criminal's top, and the freedom of the captured criminal's behavior can be further restricted. it can. As the structure of the ceiling in this case, as described in claim 3, if the shielding plate 6 and the flexible member 7 such as a wire are formed in a lattice shape or a net structure formed by wires, the ceiling is formed. Can reduce the impact of a collision with the criminal's head. In addition, in the case of a structure in which the catching device is completely dropped, since the ceiling surface is required to be shielded, the structure according to claim 3 should be adopted.

[0010] In the capturing device having the above structure, the structure described in claim 4 can be adopted so that the dropped frame member cannot be lifted. The guide ring 13 can be formed by a loop of a wire. If this guide ring is connected to the edge of the shield plate forming the frame member at the lower end or the like, the guide ring can be raised even if the catching device is lifted after the fall. Since the ring 13 is caught by the hook-shaped protrusion 15 and cannot be lifted, and cannot be moved by dragging the catch, the captured state can be maintained more completely and for a long time.

Since the capturing device of the present invention is formed of a shielding plate such as a metal plate and a flexible member such as a wire, it is difficult to break it with a blade. The bullet penetrates through a shield plate made of thin iron plate, etc., but when it hits at an angle, it is bounced off, so the firing direction is greatly restricted, and the visibility is greatly restricted by the shield plate. Difficult shooting is difficult. It is possible to shoot from the gap between the shielding plates 2 connected by the flexible member 5, but since the visibility is obstructed by the shielding plates, it is unavoidable to be close to blind. In the structure in which the shielding plate is inclined, the portion connected by the flexible member 5 is directed upward or downward, and if it is attempted to shoot so as to penetrate the shielding plate at a right angle, a bullet can be fired horizontally. It is more convenient in restricting the direction of the fire because it becomes impossible. In the structure according to claim 2, in order to prevent the opening at the fore end of the shielding plate, a flexible member is connected to a position slightly inside from the fore end, and the fore ends of the adjacent shielding plates overlap. You just have to meet.

[0012]

1 to 4 are views showing a first embodiment of the present invention. Frame 1 of capture device of first embodiment
Is a plane rectangular shape, and a linear shielding plate 2 forming its long side.
a and a strip 2 forming refraction portions 3 at both ends forming a short side.
The small edge of the long side strip 2a and the bent portion 3 at the small edge of the short side strip 2b are connected to each other by four upper and lower wires 4 at four locations. Wire 4
Has one end connected to the edge of one strip,
The other is connected to a position inside the small edge of the strip on the other side.

The strips 2a and 2b are steel plates having a thickness of about 1 mm, the width in the vertical direction is about 20 cm, and the length of the wire 4 is 10 to 15 cm.

A plurality of frame members 1 are provided, and the top shape of each frame member is gradually reduced in order from the top. The dimensional difference is such that the upper one is fitted into the lower one with a small play. At this time, the long side band 2a is pressed against the inside of the bending portion 3 of the short side band 2b. The upper frame member 1a and the lower frame member 1b have two or three strips, respectively, and the upper side and the lower side are connected to each other by the vertical wire 5. The length of the vertical wire 5 is substantially equal to the vertical width of the strip 2. In this manner, the plurality of frame members are connected to each other so that the total height is about 150 cm, and a plurality of rectangular steel plates 6 are provided on the upper edge of the upper frame member 1d as shown in FIG. A ceiling 8 formed in a lattice with the wires 7 is provided.

Guide pillars 9 are erected at the four corners of the installation position of the capturing device configured as described above. A rectangular support frame 10 connecting the upper ends of the guide pillars is used to hold the frame member 1 housed in a nested structure. An accommodating space is formed, and a hook 11 for locking a lowermost frame member accommodated in the rectangular frame is attached. The lower side of the lowermost frame member 1c is bent inward, and a buffer rubber 12 is attached to the inner peripheral edge thereof. The strips 2a and 2b of the upper frame member having the nested structure are supported by the inwardly bent portions.

At the four corners of the lower frame member 1c, the base end of a guide wire 14 having a loop 13 formed at the end on the outside is connected, and the loop 13 is inserted through the guide post 9. A bar-like projection 15 extending downward and obliquely is fixed to an outer portion near the lower end of the guide post 9, and when the lowermost frame member 1c falls to the ground, the loop 13 of the guide wire forms Go down to the bottom. Even if the user tries to lift the frame member 1 that has fallen in this state, the loop 13
Is caught by the projection 15 and the upward movement is prevented, and the frame member 1 cannot be lifted. If necessary, such a guide wire and the projection 15 can be appropriately provided at an intermediate position between the frame member and the guide column 9 of the capturing device. The upper frame member 1d is connected to the support frame 1 by the suspension cable 16.
0, and the drop height of the upper frame member 1d is
The position where the suspension cable 16 is fully extended is limited.

Capture device 1 housed in a nested structure
When the hook 11 is opened by a solenoid 17 that is energized by a signal from an operation button or a human sensor installed at an appropriate position, it falls from above. When dropped, the frame members are stretched up and down to form a rectangular cylindrical wall that blocks light weapons and other weapons such as blades. Therefore, the criminal captured in this cannot see outside and cannot use a knife. If the band plate 2 is made thick so that bullets do not penetrate, the safety against shooting can be improved, but the device cannot be made too thick because the device becomes heavy and there is a danger of injuring a criminal by an impact when dropped. . 1
In the case of a steel plate having a thickness of mm, when the muzzle is fired at a right angle to the band plate, the bullet penetrates the band plate 2, but when fired diagonally, the bullet rebounds. Therefore, the direction in which the gun can be fired is restricted and the view is obstructed, so that effective shooting is impossible, and damage due to the shooting can be avoided as much as possible.

FIGS. 5 and 6 show another example of the structure of the frame member. In the second embodiment, four trapezoidal strips 2 are formed by connecting their small ends to each other by wires 5 so as to form a rectangular cone having a low height. The plane dimensions of the frame members of the second embodiment are all the same, and the frame members are housed in a nested structure such that the cones overlap. The upper and lower frame members are connected only by a vertical wire 5 that connects the upper side of the lower step and the lower side of the upper step. If the inclination angle of the strip 2 is set to about 45 degrees, when the upper and lower frame members are stretched, the vertical wires 5 extend in the horizontal direction, and the lower frame member is prevented from dropping further.

In the capturing device configured as described above, the wall surface formed when a criminal is captured faces downward. Therefore, even if the bullet is fired in the horizontal direction, the bullet is bounced downward. Also, if you fire the muzzle at right angles to the strip, the bullet will be fired upwards, and if you try to fire from the gap connecting the upper and lower frame members,
The bullet is fired downwards, in each case significantly reducing the risk of the bullet being hit directly and causing harm.

FIG. 7 shows an example of a shielding plate having a zigzag corrugated vertical section. FIG. 8 shows an example of a shielding plate having a structure in which a piano wire in a horizontal direction is knitted with fine wires in a vertical direction.
