Patent ID: 7878105

Claim:
A disrupter recoil mitigation device for use with a robot support platform, the device comprising: first and second gas spring assemblies mountable in substantially parallel alignment with a barrel of a disrupter, the first and second gas spring assemblies spaced to accommodate the barrel of the disrupter between the first and second gas spring assemblies, wherein the first and second gas spring assemblies each comprise a gas cylinder and a piston rod, wherein the piston rod is slideably received within the gas cylinder, the piston rod defining a distal end extending outwardly from the gas cylinder; a disrupter mount connected to one of the gas cylinder and the distal end of the piston rod; and a robot mount block connected to the other of the gas cylinder and the distal end of the piston rod, the robot mount block configured for mounting to a robotic support platform, wherein the robot mount block is configured to at least partially enclose the barrel of a disrupter when the disrupter is mounted between the spring elements and is further configured to permit axial disrupter movement during discharge of the disrupter.
