Patent number: 6948751Abstract: A grappling hook comprising a shaft, a head member, a plurality of blades, and a locking ring. The shaft has a first end. The head member is secured to the first end of the shaft. Each of the blades includes at least one gripping tooth for gripping onto a desired supporting structure. Each of the blades is pivotally connected to the head member such that each blade is movable between an operational position and a collapsed position wherein the blades are spread away from the head member and positioned to grip the supporting structure in the operational position, and wherein the blades are positioned adjacent to the shaft in the collapsed position. The locking ring is movable between an open position and a closed position wherein the locking ring secures the blades in the operational position when the locking ring is positioned in the open position, and wherein the locking ring secures the blades in the collapsed position when the locking ring is in the closed position.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2003Date of Patent: September 27, 2005Assignee: Tactical & Rescue Equipment, LLCInventors: Donald W.

Patent number: 6276085Abstract: An intrusion apparatus for safely propelling a non-lethal diversionary device into a structure through a barrier. The intrusion apparatus comprises an extension device adapted to be gripped by an individual and being movable generally towards the barrier by the individual. A support assembly 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 is also supported by the extension device. The barrier breaking assembly forms an opening sized to receive the non-lethal diversionary device through the barrier as the extension device is being moved towards the barrier. A propelling assembly 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.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2000Date of Patent: August 21, 2001Assignee: Tactical & Rescue Equipment, LLCInventors: Donald W.
