Abstract:
An intrusion apparatus for propelling a non-lethal diversionary device into a structure through a barrier, comprising:an extension device adapted to be gripped by an individual, the extension device being swingable generally towards the barrier by the individual, the extension device having a length and being elongated along the length, the extension device including a trigger rod extending through the extension device along at least a portion of the length thereof;a support assembly supported by the extension device for supporting the non-lethal diversionary device as the extension device is moved relative to the barrier;a forming assembly supported by the extension device, the forming assembly being sized and shaped for breakingly engaging the barrier and thereby forming an opening through the barrier sized to receive the non-lethal diversionary device when the individual grips the extension device and swings the forming assembly into the barrier, the forming assembly being positioned on the extension device whereby the individual swinging the extension device is spaced a distance from the opening formed by the forming assembly; anda propelling assembly supported by the extension device and operably connected to the trigger rod for propelling the non-lethal diversionary device into the structure through the opening formed in the barrier at a non-lethal velocity and wherein the propelling assembly comprises:a trigger member disposed a distance from the forming assembly and movably supported by the extension device whereby the trigger member can be moved by the individual while the individual is spaced a distance from the opening formable through the barrier when the individual grips the extension device and swings the forming assembly into the barrier the trigger member operably connected to the trigger rod for moving the trigger rod to actuate the propelling assembly.
