BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Field of the Invention

The field of invention is directed to a breaching tool sling system, and more specifically a breaching tool sling system that uses a breaching hook and rope to remove structures.

Background of the Invention

Currently, the law enforcement industry needs a technology that can enhance the ability of law enforcement officials to breach structures quickly, quietly, and efficiently. The inability to enter structures quickly may lead to placing law enforcement personnel and civilians in dangerous conditions. Entering a building quickly may prevent the destruction of evidence and lessen the amount of time law enforcement is in a dangerous situation. Past and current systems have not been sufficient, individually, in increasing the safety and lessening the time for law enforcement to breach a structure. Often, several officers are needed with battering rams and heavy equipment to breach a structure. This may be rather expensive, require more law enforcement personnel, and heavy equipment to breach a structure.

Consequently, there is a need for a single inexpensive system that law enforcement personnel can use quickly and efficiently to breach structures. With the increasing implementation of security cameras, burglar bars, hardened entry points, and alarm systems, law enforcement needs a quick and efficient device to enter a structure before a suspect is notified of the law enforcement's presence. The breach sling system of this disclosure may enhance the ability for law enforcement to enter a structure quickly, without notifying suspects of the law enforcement's presence.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Embodiments of a breach sling system5may allow for law enforcement to quickly breach a structure. Embodiments may further comprise a method of operation to quickly breach and remove obstacles, to facilitate law enforcement officers to enter a structure.

In embodiments as illustrated inFIGS. 1-12, a breach sling system5comprises a rope10, a deployment bag15, a carry bag20, and a breaching hook25. In an embodiment, breach sling system5may include a plurality of ropes10. Ropes10may be attached to one another, providing the breach sling system5with a greater reach. Any number of ropes10may be attached to each other. In embodiments, there may be two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, and/or ten ropes10, with each attached to another rope10. As illustrated inFIG. 1, each rope10may have a large loop6at one end of rope10and a small loop7at the opposing end of rope10. Rope10may attach to an adjacent rope10through small loop7, which may attach to a large loop6on an adjacent rope10. The use of a small loop7at one end and large loop6at the opposing end of rope10allows the user to quickly identify large loop6and attach large loop6to a breaching hook25and/or a vehicle40. In embodiments, as illustrated inFIG. 13, a lead rope30may connect rope10to a vehicle40. Lead rope30may have two large loops6at each opposing end. This may allow lead rope30to attach to a small loop7of an adjacent rope10, while allowing a large loop6to be available for attachment to a vehicle40.

A rope10may be about six feet to about twelve feet, about eight feet to about ten feet, about nine feet to about twelve feet, and/or about six feet to about ten feet in length. In embodiments, rope10may be about six feet, about seven feet, about eight feet, about nine feet, about ten feet, about eleven feet, or about twelve feet in length. Rope10may be made of any suitable non-kinetic material. Suitable material may be, but is not limited to nylon, polypropylene, fabric, neoprene, leather, plastic, or any combination thereof. Non-kinetic material may prevent rope10from snapping and/or thrashing back when rope10may break. When in use, rope10may connect breaching hook25to a vehicle40. A vehicle40may pull breaching hook25using rope10. In the event that rope10breaks, non-kinetic material may prevent rope10from snapping back and potentially hurting individuals around rope10. When materials or items are removed, the tension along rope10is released upon movement of the materials or items. This may prevent rope10, the material, and/or items from whipping, snapping, or thrashing back toward personnel and/or vehicles40.

In embodiments, as illustrated inFIG. 2, a sleeve11may traverse about the length of rope10with rope10substantially disposed therein. In alternative embodiments, not illustrated, a portion of rope10may be disposed within sleeve11. Small loop7and large loop6may also be covered by sleeve11. Sleeve11may be made of any suitable material. Suitable material may be, but is not limited to, nylon, Kevlar® (Kevlar is a Trademark and commercially available from E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company), Nomex® (Nomex is a Trademark and commercially available from E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company), or any combination thereof. Without limitation, the material in sleeve11may protect rope10from being cut, burned, and/or from deteriorating from exposure to external elements.

As described above, rope10may attach to another rope10by attaching small loop7of a rope10to a large loop6of an adjacent rope10. In embodiments, small loop7may be linked to large loop6during manufacturing, as illustrated inFIG. 1a. There may be a plurality or ropes10attached to each other. As illustrated inFIG. 1a, there may be five ropes10attached to each other. In embodiments, adjacent ropes10are permanently attached to each other and may not be separated. In embodiments, a small loop7may tie to large loop6, or small loop7may attach to large loop6by any suitable means. Suitable means may include, but are not limited to, shackles, fasteners, straps, carabineers, rings, links, and/or the like. Connection methods may allow individual ropes10to be removed and/or added. Breaching hook25may attach to a rope10furthermost away from lead rope30. Breaching hook25may attach to rope10through large loop6by any suitable means. As illustrated inFIG. 2, breaching hook25may attach to large loop6by a shackle35. Other suitable means may include, but are not limited to, snap fittings, tethers, carabineers, clasp, or any combination thereof. In embodiments, breaching hook25may be welded or connected directly to breaching hook25, making rope10and breaching hook25one contiguous piece.

Breaching hook25may be used for attachment to materials or items that are desired to be removed for entry into a structure. Examples of a material or item may be a door, burglar bars, walls, windows, columns, and/or the like. In embodiments, breaching hook25may be made of any suitable material. Suitable material may be, but is not limited to, steel, stainless steel, black iron, A514 carbon steel, plastic, titanium, or any combination thereof. In many current applications, breaching hooks25are not used because the hook may bend under the tension and force exerted by the materials on the hook. This may cause the hook to fail, deform, or bend, which may cause breaching hook25to release the materials or items designated for removal.

In embodiments illustrated inFIG. 3, to prevent failure, breaching hook25may comprise a main member100, a gate105, a spring110, and a pin143. As illustrated inFIG. 3, main member100may have a vertical member101, upper member102, pointed member103, and connection member104. Vertical member101may be of any suitable shape.

As illustrated inFIG. 10, breaching hook25may be secured to outer wall23on the outside of deployment bag15. Breaching hook25, while attached to rope10, is secured to loop webbing410. Loop webbing410may be made of any suitable material. Suitable material may be, but is not limited to, webbing, cloth, plastic, cotton, faux fur, leather, suede, linen, polyesters, rayon, silk, tapestry, velvet, velveteen, lining fabrics, or any combinations thereof. Loop webbing410may be secured to outer wall23in a plurality of connection points407. Rip cord415may be secured to breaching hook25by loop webbing410. During deployment, a user may pull rip cord415, releasing breaching hook25from loop webbing410.

Deployment bag15may be contained within carry bag20. Carry bag20may house deployment bag15, allowing a user to store and move breach sling system5with relative ease. Carry bag20may further conceal deployment bag15and breach sling system5. This may allow law enforcement personnel to deploy breach sling system5in a discrete matter without being noticed. In embodiments, carry bag20may be used in conjunction with deployment bag15. Carry bag20may transport and/or store deployment bag15when deployment bag15is not in use. Carry bag20may prevent the deterioration of deployment bag15, ropes10, and breaching hook25from excessive wear and tear caused by external elements. In embodiments, not illustrated, carry bag20may house only rope10and/or a plurality of ropes10. This may allow for a user to transport and/or deploy ropes10without deployment bag15. Using ropes10and carry bag20, a user may approach an object and attach breaching hook25to the object. The user may then take rope10and/or ropes10from carry bag20and connect the ropes10to breaching hook25by any suitable means. Suitable connection means may be shackle35, a carabineer, and/or any combination. Connection means are not limited to shackle35and/or a carabineer, but may include other connection means. The user may then connect ropes10to a vehicle40through lead rope30. Vehicle40may then pull away from the object, removing the object by force through ropes10and breaching hook25.

As illustrated inFIG. 11, carry bag20may be made of any suitable material. Suitable material may be, but is not limited to, cloth, canvas, plastic, polyesters, webbing, fabric, or any combination thereof. Carry bag20may be any suitable shape. A suitable shape may be cylindrical, square, rectangular, polyhedral, or any combination thereof. In embodiments, carry bag20may be any suitable length. A suitable length me be about one foot to about six feet, about two feet to about four feet, about three feet to about six feet, and/or about one foot to about three feet. As illustrated inFIG. 11, carry bag20may have an open end501and a closed end502. A drawstring500may traverse the circumference of open end501. Drawstring500may be concealed and/or encircled by material that runs along the circumference of open end501. Drawstring500may be used to open and close open end501. It is to be understood carry bag290is not limited to drawstring500but may have any other suitable means for opening and closing open end501. A shoulder strap505may attach to carry bag20. Shoulder strap505may be made of any suitable material. Suitable material may be, but is not limited to, cloth, canvas, plastic, webbing, fabric, or any combination thereof. In embodiments, shoulder strap505may traverse the length of carry bag20and attach to carry bag20at two connection points507. Shoulder strap505may traverse about one foot to about six feet, about two feet to about four feet, about three feet to about six feet, and/or about one foot to about three feet of carry bag20. In embodiments, shoulder strap505may be adjustable, allowing the user to adjust how carry bag20is slung over the user's shoulder.

Carry bag20may be discrete, so as to not draw attention to the user. A user may deploy rope10and lead rope30from within carry bag20. This may allow the user to have an element of surprise. The simple design and use of a drawstring500may allow a user to remove rope10with ease, allowing the user to speedily deploy breaching hook25. In embodiments, deployment bag15and/or carry bag20may be attached to a vehicle40. During deployment, the user may attach large loop6of lead rope30to a vehicle hitch, a modified hook on vehicle40, a bumper, and/or any other suitable structure on vehicle40. Lead rope30may attach to any side of vehicle40, such as the front, back, sides, top, or bottom of vehicle40. The user may then attach breaching hook25to lead rope30(if not previously attached) and then deploy breaching hook25and attach it to any material or item the user wishes to remove. During deployment of breaching hook25, rope10may begin to unwind from deployment bag15. In embodiments in which employment bag15is attached to vehicle40, as rope10unwinds from deployment bag15, outer wall23and securing wall22are unlatched by the user and/or by the force exerted on rope10by breaching hook25. As the user carries breaching hook25to the desired object, the other ropes10are pulled from deployment bag15and/or carry bag20until breaching hook25is attached to the desired object. When breaching hook25is attached to the desired object, large loop6of rope10deployed proximate vehicle40is attached to vehicle40. Such proximate rope10may be attached to vehicle40by any suitable means such as by a carabineer. Vehicle40may then pull away and remove the desired object. The tension pulls breaching hook25, which is secured to the material or item, eventually placing enough force on the material or item to remove the material or item from its original position.

At times, certain material or items may need a plurality of breaching hooks25to properly remove the material or item. As illustrated inFIG. 12, a user may attach a shackle35to any large loop6along rope10. An additional lead rope30may attach to shackle35. In embodiments, an additional shackle35may be attached, adding an addition lead rope30. The user may attach a breaching hook25to the additional lead rope30, using a shackle35. In embodiments, a plurality of lead ropes30may be used, allowing the user to use a plurality of breaching hooks25. In embodiments, at least two breaching hooks25may be used at a time. A user may attach breaching hooks25in a “Y” configuration, which may allow for the most advantageous distribution of tension along lead rope30and rope10.

During use, the tension that is exerted on rope10and lead rope30may exceed the tensile strength of rope10or lead rope30after a multitude of use. If rope10or lead rope30has become frayed, cut, or snaps during use, the user may replace that individual rope10or a lead rope30, without replacing the whole breach sling system5. Replacement rope10or replacement lead rope30may be attached by a shackle35.
