Abstract

A long-range personal restraining device with a gas-tight casing that is configured as a thrown or projectile-type body that contains a net that is folded and compressed, that is ejected in the vicinity of a target by means of an energy source and then deployed radially relative to the trajectory by means of weights that are attached to the net, the net being provided at least in part with a high-speed adhesive that is activated either during or immediately after deployment.

Description

Long-Range Personal Restraining Device The present invention relates to a long-range personal restraining device.
For all practical purposes, apart from firearms and sharp weapons, for which permits are only issued in the most exceptional circumstances, only clubs, tear gas devices, starting pistols, and electrical stun devices are available to private persons in order to satisfy their concerns for personal safety. Small spray cans that contain tear gas or other incapacitating agents have also been found useful, particularly for women. However, all of these means require "hand-to-hand combat", or at least close proximity and, to a certain extent, are only effective at arms length.
In addition to firearms, water cannon r as well as tear gas grenades and hand grenades are available for use at longer ranges. These operate either only over large areas or else can have deadly effects and, in additior., they tend to exacerbate a situation and frequently affect so-called "innocent bystanders".
DE 31 46 166 Al describes a specially configured throwing device in which a net is arranged in a housing and then ejected in the vicinity of the target by an energy source, when it is then deployed. A person trapped by the ejected net can escape from the restraining device relatively quickly.
DE 35 22 661 Al describes how adhesive strips or adhesive lines can be fired in order to restrain a person. As described, this provides more a means of identifying a person than a means of restraint, since it requires a very large 216222~

number of adhesive strips that are required for protection in order to restrict a person's freedom of movement to even a slight extent.
DE 93 08 206 describes a device that is used to put a person out of action temporarily; in this, a net is ejected by a compressed gas or explosive device. In this embodiment, the restraint in the event that it occurs can be escaped from in a very short period of time.
It is the task of the present invention to create a device that deliberately restricts the freedom of an individual, even at a great distance and which, in principle, has no deadly or extremely injurious effects.
According to the invention, there is provided a long-range personal restraining device with a gas-tight casing that is configured as a thrown or probjectile-type body that contains a net that is folded and compressed, that is ejected in the vicinity of a target by means Gf an energy source and then deployed radially relative to the trajectory by means of weights that are attached to the net, the net being provided at least in part with a high-speed adhesive that is activated either during or immediately after deployment.
Embodiments of the present invention are described in greater detail below on the basis of the drawings appended hereto. These drawings show the following:
Figure 1: an embodiment of a long-range personal restraining device in its individual phases of operation;
Figure 2: a further embodiment of a long-range , 2l6222l personal restraining device in functional phases a to d;
Figure 3: a third embodiment with a gas-tight packing case;
Figure 4: a fourth embodiment based on the principle of a "bola";
Figure 5: a fifth embodiment of the device that is stationary and used to secure entries and equipment against intruders.
The general and underlying concept of the present invention provides a so-called long-range personal restraining device that consists of a net that, in compressed form, is stored in a housing that can be fired or thrown, that deploys automatically in the vicinity of the target person, and then wraps around the target, ensnares it,and adheres to it.
Figure 1 shows a first embodiment of such a concept.
A tear-proof net is stored in a projectile-like body in compressed form, i.e., folded into the smallest possible packet (in the same way as a parachute or the like), and this is fired at the target person. The net is coated with an adhesive that only achieves its adhesive effect completely after it has wrapped around the target and for this reason, on the one hand, does not impede deployment of the net and, on the other hand, ensures that the object that has been "caught"
can be freed quickly.
Another embodiment is shown in Figure 2. In this, the net is enclosed in a gas-tight casin~ until itis deployed.
The net is saturated with an adhesive, the adhesive strength of which is greatly reduced by means of a highly volatile 21 6222l solvent. For the deployment process in the vicinity of the target, the casing bursts and the solvent begins to evaporate, which means that the adhesive strength increases. Because of -the fact that the deployment process proceeds very rapidly, the adhesive strength remains low during this process, so that the forces that are required for deployment can be kept small.
Both adhesives and solvents that are suitable for this purpGse are known in principle. Given an appropriate selection, the full adhesive strength can be achieved within seconds, which is to say, promptly enough to effectively prevent escape from the net. Alternative possibilities for activating the adhesive are chemical reactions that can be initiated with or parallel to the deployment, for example, by the escape of an inhibitor or by oxidation processes.

The net is deployed by devices that are known per se, such as, for example, by weights (lead balls, etc.) that are ejected in different directions, radially with respect to the trajectory, said weights being attached to several points on the periphery of the net. There are a number of possibilities for doing this, such as by using centrifugal force, pyrotechnic means, as well as spring force, etc.. Other measures are, for example, by inflating a bag or tube, as in the air bag system or the "bladder principle," as is shown in Figure 3.
Compressed gas accumulators, gas generators, and the like can be used as energy accumulators, with the net and the bag forming one integral unit.

The geometry of the net can be essentially two-dimensional, although it can also be three-dimensional. As a variation, an essentially one-dimensional embodiment can be used, this being in a form, for example, such that individual threads are hurled at the target in a greater or lesser quantity.

A special embodiment (Figure 4) uses the "bola" principle. In this, a line, strip, or length of rope, which is in a linear or star-shaped arrangement is loaded at all ends and then caused to rotate. When it hits a target, it wraps around this and so brings about the intended restraint; the individual fibers, etc., can also be coated with adhesive.

Because of the fact that the proposed long-range restraining device is "shot" into the vicinity of the target in compressed form, where it is deployed, it is also suitable for deliberate use at long distances. It can be made as a thrown or shot body with a relatively large ballistic factor 2l6222l (mass/resistance) when great ranges and good accuracy can be achieved on the basis of an initial impulse.

This long-range restraining concept can also be used in the form of a so-called ambush weapon. An example of such an embodiment is shown in Figure 5. A special entrance, doorway, etc., is provided with a concealed "restrainer mine," within which a long-range restraining net is accommodated in such a way that it can be ejected. Release is effected either by remote control or automatically, by means of a signal that is transmitted when a specific border, etc., is crossed. At the same time as the net is released, a signal is transmitted to a monitoring post or the like. At a specific distance that is either fixed or adjustable, the net deploys and wraps around the intruder, at which time the net not only wraps around him but also adheres to him. This concept can be varied in numerous ways. For instance, the deployment body that carries the net can itself be configured as a directional body that guarantees accurate deployment of the net. In addition, additional devices such as flash charges, incapacitating gas and the like can be activated by the objects that deploy the net, these being ignited at the same time or slightly after the net is deployed.
