  • Patent number: 7819063
    Abstract: A breaching device for positioning explosives on a structure for rapid entry constructed of soft, plastic material formed into elongated inflatable chambers allowing the breaching device to be positioned by secondary attachment means to a target surface. A sleeve is formed on the chamber for insertion of an explosive material thereby reducing the need for supplemental construction materials for the device. The rigidity of the inflated device is achieved by inflation so as to hold its shape and be semi self-supporting and to increase the ease to which the device can be deployed. By utilizing a device which will hold its specific shape and precise positioning of explosives therewithin will insure that the explosive force of detonation will be applied directly to the structure and the desired shape, size and amount for breaching a structure for entry.
