Benefits of technology

[0013]The arresting means may be a rigid member disposed transversely to the cables or chains and attached to the distal end of each cable or chain with respect to the vehicle's motion. The rigid member may be a rigid rod or beam. Preferably, the rigid member is a flat housing accommodating the cables or chains and the anchoring spikes, and having a sloping surface at its proximal and distal ends facilitating passing of the vehicle tires.

Problems solved by technology

However, a drawback to this system is that the vehicle may continue on albeit at a slower rate.
Also puncturing one or more tires at full speed of the vehicle may cause dangerous loss of control and stability potentially resulting in damage to the surroundings and / or harm to the driver / passengers.

Embodiment Construction

[0050]With reference to FIGS. 1A and 1B there is shown a device 10 according to the present invention, for arresting a land-vehicle having rubber tires (hereinafter, “the vehicle”, not necessarily shown). The device interferes with the operation of the wheels of the vehicle to be arrested and is therefore dubbed “stick in the wheels”. FIG. 1A shows a top view of the device and FIG. 1B shows a side view thereof.

[0051]The device 10 comprises one or more members, for example, a mat or series of side-by-side strips / mats 11, typically rectangular, each having a number of cables 12 running the length thereof. The cables have attached thereto a plurality of tire attaching members such as spikes 14. At an end of the strips 11, the end typically arranged to be the farthest from the oncoming tires, the cables 12 are attached to a wheel-rotation interfering member, represented by a rod 16, running perpendicular to the cables. The rod 16 may be hollow, as illustrated in FIGS. 1A and 1B which lo...

Abstract

Devices for arresting a wheeled vehicle with rubber tires, comprising elongated flexible member (11) such as strips, mats, cables or chains disposed along the direction of motion and adapted to wrap around the tires using a tire attaching means (14) such as barb, spike or adhesive, the tire attaching means being fixed to the proximal end of the flexible member with respect to the vehicle's motion, and an arresting means (16) such as a rod attached to the distal end of the flexible member and adapted to interfere with the vehicle motion. The spikes may be anchoring in the tire and the cable or chain may be strong enough to tear the tires. The devices may be disposed in a flat housing with movable cover for allowing free passage of the vehicle.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention relates to equipment for arresting vehicles, particularly those interacting with the vehicle's tires.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]There are a number of reasons for which it is desirable to arrest a vehicle without the use of lethal force typically in police and military scenarios.[0003]To this end a variety of systems have been developed including the type of system designed to target the tires of the vehicle to be arrested. The most common of these is the type designed to deflate the vehicles tires.[0004]However, a drawback to this system is that the vehicle may continue on albeit at a slower rate. Also puncturing one or more tires at full speed of the vehicle may cause dangerous loss of control and stability potentially resulting in damage to the surroundings and / or harm to the driver / passengers.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0005]In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a device for arresting the progress of a vehicle ha...
