Abstract

The present invention relates to an apparatus for preventing criminal'"'"'s escape or violence. This apparatus comprises an action box which is united on the criminal'"'"'s handcuff or fetter and which can endure any general bump or knock and will not be transformed or damaged. There are installed wireless receiving circuit, shock device circuit, buzzer device circuit and battery on the PC board in the action box. The afore-said action box can receive shock order code that is ordered by the control box in the executor'"'"'s hand. On contrary, when the action box can not receive the signal code, it will sound warning and order shock device to actuate shock to prevent the criminal'"'"'s escape or violence. Besides, present invention can achieve the purposes of increasing police'"'"'s safety and saving police'"'"'s strength.

Claims

1. An apparatus for preventing a criminal'"'"'s escape or violence comprising:

A. an action box connected to a handcuff or fetter, which comprises;

a steel housing made of alloy steel and forming a center hollow, which is able to endure any general bumps or knocks without being transformed or damaged, the housing being connected with a housing cover by closing a lock provided thereon;

an inner housing installed in said steel housing, which is made of an insulating material and forms a center hollow box, an outer rim of a bottom of the inner housing is provided with several suction disks to suction an inner bottom rim of said steel housing to buffer vibrations generated by bumping or knocking said steel housing, buffer sponge pieces being glued to other sides of said inner housing;

an integrated circuit board provided in said inner housing comprising a wireless receiving circuit for receiving a signal;

a shock control circuit for controlling the generation of a shock, a buzzer device circuit for sounding a warning and a source battery for supplying power to the circuits; and

B. a control box held and used by an executor comprising a wireless transmit circuit for transmitting said signal and a shock control switch for generating a set shock order code and causing a shock to be generated.

2. An apparatus for preventing criminal'"'"'s escape or violence according to claim 1, wherein:

the signal and the code generated by the wireless transmit circuit in said control box is adjustable, and when the shock control switch is depressed the set shock order code is transmitted, the wireless receiving circuit of the action box being used to receive the signal and code transmitted by the control box, its receiving activity and code being adjustable; and

when the receiving circuit receives the set shock order code transmitted by the transmit circuit, or does not receive the signal and code of the transmit circuit, the buzzer device sounds a warning and the shock device is ordered to actuate a shock.

3. An apparatus for preventing criminal'"'"'s escape or violence according to claim 1 wherein two output ends of said shock device forming the circuit are near the handcuff or fetter.
