Description

The present invention relates to a deployment net device having a function of detecting the position of a target target organism.

In general, nets used to capture or capture target organisms to deter crime or reduce damage caused by animals to humans wrap around the body of the target creature, restricting its movement, and thereby restricting the movement of the target creature. The purpose is often to reduce attacks and damage caused, or to provide time to prepare for suppression or distance from the target. However, in order to block the movement of a target creature with just a net, it is necessary to securely wrap the net around the target creature's body and restrict the movement of the limbs that form the basis of the target creature's movement. For this reason, regardless of whether the target creature is a human or an animal, the person casting the net has to get very close to the net, which has the disadvantage of sacrificing the safety of the person casting the net. This is especially true in situations where being close to the target itself is dangerous for the person casting the net, such as when a criminal is likely to attack others with a deadly weapon, or when the target creature is a ferocious beast. This can become a particularly serious problem if the person casting the net should also evacuate while keeping their distance and ensure their own safety as a priority, if the act of getting close enough to the net can itself be an irritant.

Conventional techniques for solving such problems include those disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2.
Patent Document 1 provides a restraining net ejection part that accommodates a restraint net having a weight part and ejects the restraint net with gas pressure together with the weight part, and an activation switch that starts the restraint net jetting part, and A portable restraining net deploying device is described, comprising: an elongated handle connected to a spouting part; and a suppressing part attached to the handle so as to surround the restraining net spouting part. ing.
Patent Document 2 also discloses a trapping net for trapping a target, a net storage section that stores the trapping net, and a tank section that stores compressed gas for injecting and deploying the trapping net from the net storage section. and an operating section for operating the lid of the tank section, and a link section connecting the operating section and the lid, and the link section is operated by operation of the operating section to open the lid. This is a device for capturing suspicious persons and animals in a similar manner to a trapping net sprayer, which is characterized by being configured so that the opening part is in an open state.

However, although the devices described in Patent Documents 1 and 2 are devices that deploy a restraining net to capture an intruder, if the intruder is not secured on the spot, they simply prevent the intruder from taking further actions. However, the disadvantage is that the person casting the net must stay at the scene and continue to operate the net, which may stimulate the intruder and lead to further attacks in order to escape. Even if a restraining net is cast, if the intruder escapes, the safety of the person casting the net will be ensured, but it will not secure the intruder.
Furthermore, if the target creature's location is unknown, such as when the target creature escapes into a place hidden in a tree or becomes difficult to see at night, it will be difficult to capture it and it will easily escape. .

An object of the present invention is to make it possible to track and locate the target creature even if the target creature escapes to a place, time, etc. where it is difficult to see.

In order to solve the above problem, the inventor of the present invention, through intensive research, found that the above problem could be solved by using an injection type capture net, that is, an injection net with a function to detect the position. As a result of further intensive research, we were able to complete this invention.

The invention therefore relates to the following devices:
[1] An injection net,
one or more weights arranged at predetermined intervals on the periphery of the injection net;
An apparatus for deploying an ejection net, comprising: an ejection device for ejecting the ejection net and a weight, the ejection net or the weight being configured to include a position detection unit for detecting position information.
[2] The device according to [1], wherein the position detection unit is fixed to the center of the injection net or any position other than the center and/or to a weight.
[3] The injection device includes a weight accommodating part forming an injection port for ejecting the weight, an injection net accommodating part for accommodating an injection net, an injection means for ejecting the weight, and an operation part,
The device according to [2], wherein the ejection means is actuated by operation of the operating section, and the ejection net and the weight are ejected and engaged with the target organism.
[4] The device according to [3], wherein the injection means includes a gas cartridge that supplies a power source for injection.
[5] The device according to any one of [1] to [4], which can be carried by an operator.
[6] The injection net and weight according to any one of [1] to [4].

The position detecting unit for detecting position information may be any means that can remotely detect the position. For example, the position detecting unit is a GPS receiver and a GPS position measurement result transmitter, and the present device The user of this device knows the location of the target creature that is engaged with the ejection net at a location distant from the target creature by receiving the GPS position measurement results.The position detection unit is a passive transponder, and the The user detects the position of the transponder, activates the detection signal generator for transponder position detection, and learns the position of the target organism, and the transponder cooperates with multiple other self-locating signal generators. The position information of the plurality of self-locating signal generators is transmitted to the user of the device, and the position detecting unit is a signal transmitter that integrates the information to detect the position of the transponder. There are various ways to detect the position by the user of this device, such as detecting the position where the transmitted signal is generated. Good too.

In the ejection net, a weight provided on the periphery of the net is ejected by an ejection device in the direction of spreading, and the net flies so as to cover the target organism while expanding, and the net wraps around the target organism.
Ejection is performed by using the air pressure of compressed air, for example, from the weight storage part, and the ejected weight flies in the target direction while expanding the ejection net so that the ejection net wraps around the target organism, and finally hits the target organism. Wrap with injection net. The ejection of the weight is not limited to compressed air, but any power source capable of ejecting the weight can be used, such as a blast from gunpowder or spring force.

According to the present invention, the ejection net is wrapped around the target organism using the ejection net and a plurality of weights arranged on the ejection net, and the ejection net is attached to the target organism while the target organism is moving and even after it has moved. By making the target creature move along with the creature, and by using the position detection unit installed on the ejection net or weight to detect the position information, it is possible to grasp the location information regarding the target creature's whereabouts and residence point even after the target creature has moved. This makes it easier to track, capture, and exterminate target organisms. In addition, even if the target creature moves and disappears from sight, or if it hides behind an obstacle after running away, the approximate location of the target can be determined, so the target's behavior can be predicted and the distance to the target can be determined. It becomes possible to take actions to protect yourself from risks that may be reintroduced by the target. At the same time, in order to exterminate dangerous target organisms and secure criminals, security personnel equipped with appropriate equipment and preparations can efficiently identify the location of target organisms.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a state in which the injection net is ejected. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing how the injection net of the present invention, which is ejected by a user from a remote location, wraps around a target organism. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating how a user uses a position detection device according to an embodiment of the present invention to detect the position of the wrapped ejection net using a GPS signal and calls for evacuation.

Hereinafter, the apparatus of the present invention will be explained based on the drawings, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Further, in each figure, in order to facilitate explanation, the size of each member may be appropriately emphasized, and the illustrated member does not necessarily represent the actual size or proportion.

Hereinafter, one aspect of the device of the present invention will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, the device 20 includes a main body 21, an injection means 22 provided at the distal end of the main body 21, an operating section 23, and a filling section 24. An injection port 221 for ejecting a weight and a net, a weight storage part 222 and a net storage part 223 are provided on the side, and the weight 11 and the injection net 10 are stored in the weight storage part 222 and the injection net storage part 223, respectively. The injection port 221 is covered by a lid 25 when not in use. As shown in FIG. 2, the weight accommodating portion 222 may be provided as a cylindrical portion inside the ejecting means 22, together with the net accommodating portion 223, closer to the distal end of the ejecting means than in the embodiment of FIG. The operating section 23 and the filling section 24 of the main body are connected by threading or other engagement, and are provided adjacently or integrally. The operating portion 23 may be provided with an operating protrusion (not shown) for generating an injection motive. The injection net 10 is a rectangle in FIG. 1, and a weight 11 is provided at each of its vertices, but it can be polygonal with three or more vertices, or circular, etc., with a certain area secured in the center. Depending on the shape, a weight 11 may be provided around the shape as appropriate. Further, in the center of the injection net 10, a position detection section 12 is provided for detecting information regarding the position. Although not shown in FIG. 1, a position detection section for detecting information regarding the position may be provided in the weight 11.

The filling part is a part into which a compressed gas cartridge, etc. filled with gas that is the power source for injection is inserted, and is located at the end opposite to the tip of the operating part, and the compressed gas for injection is supplied from the installed cartridge. The cartridge is ready to be supplied via the operating section, and preparation for injection is completed. When the operator operates the operation part with the device facing the target, the pressure of the gas filled in the device pushes the weight 11 toward the tip end side in the direction of the injection port 221 of the injection means 22, resulting in the state shown in FIG. As shown, the lid 25 comes off from the injection port 221 toward the tip, the weight 11 is ejected toward the tip and flies into the air, and the injection net 10 pulled by the weight 11 is also ejected toward the tip and flies into the air. . Since, for example, three weights 11 are provided around the injection net 10, the injection net 10 is deployed so as to spread out according to the flight and fall trajectories of the weights that draw different trajectories in three directions.

In FIG. 1, the device 20 is shown in the form of a flashlight with its ejection port flared out, but it may also be in the form of a handgun, a hunting rifle, or a cannon that can point the ejection port at a target. , may be box-shaped or cylindrical.

The gas filled in the injection circuit may be a commercially available cartridge-type gas such as CO ² as long as the weight can be ejected at a considerable speed using the air pressure. Since the ejection net 10 and the weight 11 are considerably lightweight, a long flight distance can be ensured, and the ejection net 10 can reach the target organism from the operator even at a distance of about 15 meters.

Even if the device is operated and the ejection net 10 is ejected from the target organism at the above-mentioned distance, the ejection net can easily reach the target organism. By operating the tip of the ejection means 22 toward the target organism, the weight 11 and the ejection net 10 are projected and deployed around the ejection means 22, and a part of the ejection net 10 or the weight 11 can easily hit the target organism. When part of the ejection net 10 or the weight 11 hits the target object, each thread constituting the ejection net 10 and the weight 11 become entangled with the target organism.

The ejection net 10 entwined around the target organism does not need to completely block the movement of the target organism, but the presence of the ejection net 10 may cause the target organism to become frightened, and changes or gaps may occur in its attack or movement. , the evacuation time and route for the operator may be secured. In the ejection means of the present invention, the ejection net 10 has a relatively long distance that it can reach the target organism even if the distance is around 15 meters, so there is a possibility that the operator of the ejection net may receive a counterattack. , fleeing from the scene is also advantageous for the safety of the operator at the scene.

In addition, because the device of the present invention has a long flight distance as mentioned above, the operator does not necessarily have to face the target creature directly, but for example, when facing a large beast. In this case, the operator who has evacuated inside the vehicle can operate the device to reach the target creature with the ejection net 10 at the moment when the target creature is in a position where the target creature can be targeted from the window of the vehicle.

Furthermore, the ejection net 10 and the weight 11 of the present invention do not need to completely block the movement of the target organism, and only need to be strong enough to prevent it from being easily cut or torn when it escapes. It may be made of synthetic fibers such as those used in fishing cast nets. Therefore, the injection net 10 and the weight 11 can be relatively inexpensive and lightweight. In addition, if the injection net 10 and weight 11 of the present invention are stored in the weight accommodating part 222 and the injection net accommodating part 223 and the lid 25 is attached, the injection means 22 can be used again. Similarly, the power source for injection can be secured by filling a commercially available gas cartridge or the like. For these reasons, the injection means 22 and the injection net 10 of the present invention can be used repeatedly at a lower cost than conventional crime prevention products, so it is possible to repeat the practice of throwing the injection net 10 at an object by injection. It also becomes easier.

The device of the present invention according to the above-mentioned aspect is inexpensive and can be used without being subject to strict restrictions like guns that use gunpowder, and it is also a practical use to have a plurality of devices. As mentioned above, when using a gun to capture a target creature from a vehicle window, etc., it is impossible to fire a gun when there is a possibility that there are people other than the target creature in the firing direction. However, for a device such as the ejection net of the device of the present invention that poses no danger to the target organisms or the injection direction, the ejection net 10 is cast from the windows of multiple vehicles so as to sandwich the target organisms. This means that it can also be used to reach By casting multiple ejection nets, the target organism cannot easily escape from the encirclement of the ejection nets, and therefore, it is an effective measure for suppressing and capturing while preventing the ejection net from escaping or falling off during the escape. This makes it possible to make the time it takes to detect the position more reliable, and allows more time to be spent on position detection.

With the above structure, even if the target creature escapes into a bush, wall, hole, or indoors, or even when it is difficult to see at night, the function that detects the position attached to the ejection net can be used. By being able to detect the location of target organisms, it is possible to efficiently suppress and capture them according to the on-site situation. Since it is also possible to detect the location of target organisms in real time, it is possible to prevent damage by encouraging planned evacuation to take the safest measures for the general public and surrounding objects until they are suppressed and captured. .

This device can be used repeatedly by refilling the injection net and weight, as well as the pressurized gas cartridge for the power source, and can be used many times at low cost.

According to the present invention, by being able to detect the position of target organisms using the position detection function of the position detection unit attached to the net, efficient suppression and capture can be achieved, and damage can be prevented until suppression and capture. Prevention of spread can be ensured.
