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

Patent number: 7900538Abstract: A packable battering ram quickly disassembled for transport by two or more persons. In the preferred embodiment, the invention has first and second body members that are symmetrical, but otherwise identically shaped and sized. When assembled, the first and second body members form a lower surface that has a concave portion that approximates the natural curvature of the back of an adult male. The packable battering may be disassembled to distribute the weight between multiple people, yet quickly assembled for use upon arrival at a emergency response location.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2008Date of Patent: March 8, 2011Assignee: Breaching Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Darron Phillips, Jeff Wright, Jeff Lambert

Patent number: 7676975Abstract: A tactical foregrip assembly for use with a firearm, the assembly having an independently rotatable grip mount assembly and an independently rotatable light mount assembly. The invention comprises a stationary mount assembly attachable to the receiver of a firearm, a grip mount assembly radially rotatable about and electrically coupled to the stationary mount assembly, and a light mount assembly radially rotatable about and electrically coupled to the stationary mount and engagable with said grip assembly. The present invention allows the operator to provide light to illuminate an area while simultaneously positioning himself in a manner so as to maximally use available cover.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2008Date of Patent: March 16, 2010Assignee: Breaching Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Darron Phillips, Mark M. Ferris, Arthur F. Gonthier

Patent number: 7337515Abstract: An device for breaching an outwardly opening door and methods for use thereof. The device combines a serrated blade for penetrating the crevice between a door and a doorjamb and an extendable handle with a ratcheting mechanism allowing the operator to remain out of the line of fire when breaching the door. The device may also be used by a single operator by initially driving the blade between the door and doorjamb via a hammering function involving the retraction of the extendable handle combined with the weighted block and thrusting force applied thereto.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2006Date of Patent: March 4, 2008Assignee: Breaching Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Darron Phillips, Jeff Wright, Craig Staff

Patent number: RE47850Abstract: A system and method for ballistically cutting a multi-link metal chain comprises a chain alignment module that comprises three pins and attaches to the barrel of a firearm. A first pin and a second pin of the module fit on opposite sides of a target link of the chain. A third pin of the alignment module goes through a link adjacent to the target link of the chain. The three pins align the target link so that a bullet exiting the barrel of a firearm impacts a semicircular region of the target link to cause the target link to open.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2018Date of Patent: February 11, 2020Assignee: Breaching Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Darron Phillips, Mark Ferris, Bert Vermeulen
