Abstract

Tactical utility pole and door mount system for use by law enforcement are described. Embodiments of the systems are user configurable depending on a particular tactical need. Variations are described for breaching a locked door, breaching a closed window, and delivering and nearly instantaneously detonating a distraction within the associated structure, breaching a closed window and delivering a stream of OC or other chemical spray within the associated structure, and breaching a closed window and delivering a chemical grenade within the structure. Remote breaching of a door can also achieved using a tactical door mount system and detonation device having a receiver. Other variations are also contemplated.

Claims

1. A tactical utility pole system comprising:

a handle section including at least one portion adapted to be griped by a user;

one or more extension boom sections;

a fixed elbow section having a first end and at least one second end, the first end being adapted to couple with the handle section or at least one of the one or more extension boom sections and the at least one second end being adapted to couple at least one of the one or more extension boom sections, the first end and the at least one second end being configured to form at least one fixed angle;

one or more attachments adapted to couple with one of the one or more extension booms, the one or more attachments being from the group consisting of,

(i) a distraction device delivery attachment, the distraction device delivery attachment adapted to secure one or more distraction rounds on the attachment and break one or more window panes when in use,

(ii) a door breaching attachment, the door breaching attachment adapted for breaching a locked door by directing a shock wave created by one or more distraction rounds at the door when in use,

(iii) a chemical spray delivery attachment, the chemical spray delivery attachment adapted to secure a chemical spray therein, break one or more window panes and rake a window opening to clear window covers and debris when in use and

(iv) a chemical grenade delivery attachment, the chemical grenade delivery attachment adapted to irremovably secure a chemical grenade therein, break one or more window panes and discharge the chemical grenade therefrom when in use; and

one or more switches and/or actuators located on or proximate the handle section for activating one or more features of the one or more attachments.

2. The tactical utility pole system of claim 1, further comprising a plurality of pins, the pins being adapted to couple and secure the various sections and an attachment of the one or more attachments together by way of holes provided in the sections and the attachment to create a tactical utility pole assembly.

3. The tactical utility pole system of claim 1 further comprising a plurality of quick release couplings adapted to couple the sections and an attachment of the one or more attachments together in a first assembly and permit rapid reconfiguration into a second assembly all without the use of extraneous tools.

4. The tactical utility pole system of claim 1 wherein at least one of the one or more attachments comprises the distraction device delivery attachment, the distraction device delivery attachment comprising:

(i) a housing having an interior adapted to at least partially receive one or more distractions rounds therein;

(ii) one or more threaded openings adapted to secure the distraction round within the interior;

(iii) a plurality of breaching spikes coupled to the housing, and (iv) an attachment end adapted to couple with an extension boom of the one or more extension boom sections.

5. A tactical door mount system comprising:

an extendable arm assembly being fixably movable and adapted to increase and decrease in length longitudinally;

a door breaching attachment coupled to the extendable arm assembly, the door breaching attachment adapted for breaching a locked door by directing a shock wave created by one or more distraction rounds at the locked door when in use; and

a detonation device operatively coupled to and adapted to activate the door breaching attachment.

6. The tactical door mount system of claim 5, wherein the extendable arm assembly comprises a telescoping arm assembly, the telescoping arm assembly including,

a first arm, the first arm having a proximal end coupled to the door breaching attachment,

a second arm, the second end telescopingly engaged with the first arm and having a distal end, and

a mounting plate, the mounting plate coupled to the distal end of the second arm.

7. The tactical door mount system of claim 6, wherein the mounting plate includes a substantially smooth outer surface.

8. The tactical door mount system of claim 5, wherein the door breaching attachment further comprises,

a housing having a substantially open front side with a substantially planar perimeter edge,

one or more threaded openings adapted to secure one or more distraction rounds within an interior of the housing, and

a mounting pad disposed on an end of the housing distal the coupling of the extendable arm assembly whereby the mounting pad contacts a door frame when in use.

9. The tactical door mount system of claim 8, wherein the mounting pad includes a plurality of protrusions.

10. The tactical door mount system of claim 5, wherein the detonation device further comprises a pin gun apparatus, the pin gun apparatus being operatively coupled to the one or more distraction round on the door breaching attachment by way of a flexible shock tube.

11. The tactical door mount system of claim 5, wherein the detonation device is further adapted for remote controlled operation having a receiver therein and an associated transmitter.

12. The tactical door mount system of claim 5, wherein the detonation device includes a button, the button adapted to activate the door breaching attachment.

13. The tactical door mount system of claim 5 further comprising,

one or more quick release couplings adapted to couple the extended arm assembly and the door breaching attachment together without the use of extraneous tools.

14. A tactical dual door mount system comprising:

a first tactically door mount assembly, the first tactical door mount assembly comprising,

a first extendable arm assembly being fixably movable and adapted to increase and decrease in length longitudinally,

a first door breaching attachment adapted for breaching a first locked door by directing a shock wave created by one or more first distraction rounds at the first door when in use, the door breaching attachment comprising,

a first housing having a substantially open front side with a substantially planar perimeter edge adapted to fit generally flush against a planar surface,

one or more first threaded openings adapted to secure the one or more first distraction rounds within an interior of the first housing, and

a first mounting pad disposed on an end distal the first extendable arm assembly;

a second tactically door mount assembly, the second tactical door mount assembly comprising,

a second extendable arm assembly being fixably movable and adapted to increase and decrease in length longitudinally,

a second door breaching attachment adapted for breaching a second locked door by directing a shock wave created by one or more distraction rounds at the second door when in use, the door breaching attachment comprising,

a second housing having a substantially open front side with a substantially planar perimeter edge adapted to fit generally flush against a planar surface,

one or more second threaded openings adapted to secure one or more second distraction rounds within an interior of the second housing, and a second mounting pad disposed on an end distal the second extendable arm assembly; and

a detonation device operatively coupled to and adapted to activate the first and second door breaching attachments.

15. The tactical dual door mount system of claim 14, wherein the detonation device comprises a pin gun apparatus, the pin gun apparatus being operatively coupled to the one or more first distraction rounds on the first door breaching attachment and the one or more second distraction rounds on the second door breaching attachment by way of one or more flexible shock tubes.
