Patent number: 11047643Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an Improved Ballistic Chain Cutting Device. In general, the device positions a target link from a multi-link chain in the proper placement for a single shot from a firearm to cut or sever the target link. Embodiments of the improved device include a specially designed slot with stepped sidewalls creating a varying width to tightly receive the target link, a curved adjacent link engagement region to better accommodate the semicircular end of a link adjacent the target link, and a curved target link engagement region to better secure the target link within the device.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2020Date of Patent: June 29, 2021Assignee: Breaching Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Darron Phillips, Mark Ferris

Publication number: 20140373456Abstract: An explosive breach training system comprising a frame having a lock jamb with two opposing ends and an inner surface, two wide members connected to said opposing ends of said lock jamb, and a long member having ends connected to said wide members opposite of said lock jamb. The frame defines an interior space. A hinge jamb assembly comprises an elongate member within the interior space, with the hinge jamb assembly being slidably attached to the frame and selectively moveable between said lock jamb and said long member. A door member has a hinge side attachable to said hinge jamb assembly and a lock side, and is sized to fit in a door space defined by the elongate member, the lock jamb, and the portions of the wide members extending between the hinge jamb assembly and the opposing ends of the lock jamb. A lock bracket is adjacent to the lock jamb, and defines an elongate slot intersecting with a portion of said door space.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 11, 2014Publication date: December 25, 2014Inventor: Darron Phillips

Patent number: 8128408Abstract: A door breach training system comprising a first restraint assembly connecting a door to a frame. The door is attached to a lock jamb of the frame with a first restraint assembly that exposes a shear joint to impact from a projectile, such as shotgun round. Another embodiment further comprises attachment of the door to the hinge jamb with at least one second restraint assembly that functionally simulates a typical door hinge and exposes a shear joint to impact from a ballistic round. The preferred embodiment includes replaceable lock panels and hinge panels that are designed to break in a known manner in order to replicate those same failure modes for both door locks and door hinges in typical residential and commercial construction environments.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2008Date of Patent: March 6, 2012Inventors: Darron Phillips, Jeff Wright, Jeff Lambert
