Handheld forcible entry device
10166414 · 2019-01-01 ·

A handheld forcible entry device includes a tubular housing. A torque-input drive shaft is rotationally assembled to the housing, wherein the input shaft rotates about an axis perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the housing. A helical pressure applicating lead screw is rotationally assembled to the housing, wherein the lead screw rotates about an axis parallel to the housing longitudinal axis. The input shaft and lead screw are rotationally synchronized by a gear assembly. A pressure applicator is threadably engaged with a helical threaded segment integrated in the lead screw. Rotation of the threading advances or retracts the pressure applicator from a stationary wedge plate. The separation of the pressure applicator and the stationary wedge plate separates a locked member from the associated frame, thus forcibly opening the locked member. The input shaft can be operated using a manually applied rotation or power applied rotation.

20180229985 · 2018-08-16 · ·

An inflatable air wedge has a tool channel that is inserted between a vehicle door and a vehicle body for allowing an operator to effectively unlock the vehicle door without damaging the vehicle (door and/or body and/or weather stripping). The inflatable air wedge includes a selectively inflatable bladder capable of being intercalated between the existing vehicle door and the existing vehicle body, a pneumatic mechanism in operable communication with the bladder for selectively introducing and releasing air from the bladder, and a conduit engaged with the bladder. Advantageously, such a conduit is suitably sized and shaped for guiding an existing unlocking tool therethrough while the bladder is at an inflated state and seated between the vehicle door and the vehicle body. Notably, the conduit is spaced from the pneumatic mechanism and manually distended when the unlocking tool is positioned therein.
