  • Patent number: 7895693
    Abstract: A tactical footbridge comprises two or more bridge segments and one or more pivotal connection assemblies. The one or more pivotal connection assemblies engage two of the at two or more bridge segments. Each pivotal connection assembly comprises a first member, a second member, a first axial connector, and a second axial connector. The first member engages a first of the two bridge segments. The first member has a pivot hole and a bridge hole. The second member engages a second of the two bridge segments. The second member also has a pivot hole and a bridge hole. The first axial connector selectively extends through the pivot holes of the first and second members to pivotally connect the two bridge segments such that the connected bridge segments selectively pivot between a collapsed position in which the connected bridge segments are proximal to one another, and a bridge position in which the connected bridge segments are in an expanded angularly-disposed relationship with one another.
