DEVICE FOR SELECTED DEPLOYMENT OF A TIRE DEFLATOR
A device for stopping an approaching target vehicle by deflating the vehicle’s tires. The device has a scissor-like extendable and retractable construction with upward facing spikes. After deployment, the deflator may be retracted automatically and/or by the push of a button. The deflator can be stored in the enclosure to which it is attached. The deflator is extended by pushing a central hinge of the scissor construction forward, almost completely out of the enclosure. The propulsion means is actuated by a compressed gas capsule, preferably carbon dioxide, and an air cylinder with a linear movable piston connected to the deflator. The gas capsule releases gas under pressure to the air cylinder and moves the piston in a first direction, thereby extending the deflator. By leading compressed gas of the gas capsule to the opposite side of the cylinder, the piston moves in the opposite direction and the deflator is retracted.
Secure Safe Apparatus and System
In an embodiment, a secure safe apparatus is provided. The apparatus comprises a base and a bollard. The bollard comprises a first portion and a second portion manufactured as a single vertical member. The first portion is of sufficient length to extend below a bottom surface of the base into ground at a site where the secure safe apparatus is set. The second portion is of sufficient length to extend through a thickness of the base and above a top surface of the base. The second portion is adapted to be inserted through an aperture in a floor of a safe and affixed to an interior beam manufactured within an inside of the safe to affix the second portion to the beam.

Barrier System and Barrier System Installation Method
Disclosed herein is a bollard system including an impact receiving post and a foundation cage. The impact receiving post includes an outer surface, a proximal end, and a distal end. The foundation cage defines a three-dimensional lattice structure. The foundation cage is coupled to the proximal end of the impact receiving post and is configured for installation in concrete beneath a ground surface. The foundation cage defines a recess to receive a proximal portion of the impact receiving post. The foundation cage includes a horizontal stop member at least partially extending across the recess and supporting the impact receiving post and preventing the impact receiving post from extending further into the foundation cage before the concrete sets.

Tire Spiker
The tire spiker is a L-shaped device deployable to a U-shaped deployed configuration having a first and second spike portion adapted to surround a tire on the front and back with a plurality of spikes held in a generally vertical disposition adjacent the tire tread. The tire spiker comprises a pair of L-shaped arms pivotally connected at one end to open to a U-shaped deployed configuration. Each of the L-shaped arms comprises a spacer and a spike portion. The spacers are hinged together. Each spike portion is on a respective spacer in a generally perpendicular disposition. Each spike portion comprises a spike side and a road side. Some of the plurality of spikes and a plurality of spike chambers are disposed in the road side of each spike portion. The spike chambers are adapted to receive a respective spike from the other spike portion in the carry configuration.
