INTRUSION APPARATUS

摘要

An intrusion apparatus (18) for safely propelling a non-lethal diversionary device (12) into a structure (14) through a barrier (16). The intrusion apparatus comprises an extension device (22) adapted to be gripped by an individual (10) and being movable generally towards the barrier by the individual. A support assembly (24) is connected to the extension device. The support assembly serves to support the non-lethal diversionary device as the extension device is moved towards the barrier. A barrier breaking assembly (26) is also supported by the extension device. The barrier breaking assembly forms an opening (20) sized to receive the non-lethal diversionary device through the barrier as the extension device is being moved towards the barrier. A propelling assembly (37) is also supported by the extension device. The propelling assembly serves to selectively propel the non-lethal diversionary device into the structure through the opening formed in the barrier at a non-lethal velocity. The hand held extension device comprises a trigger member (130) for actuation of the propelling means which can be a spring. A tube for holding the non-lethal device is positioned at one end of the extension device perpendocilar thereto.
