Double-cross barricade
First Claim
1. A portable vehicular barricade and vehicle disabling device comprising:
- (a) a plurality of structural steel I-beams, (b) a plurality of locking pin sets, (c) a plurality of top link bushings, (d) means for joining said structural steel I-beams together at a central axis location, resulting in an x-shaped, steel I-beam structure capable of supporting the weight of an automobile when placed upon the ground, with steel I-beam arms radiating outward from said central axis location, whereby any vehicular impact upon said x-shaped, steel I-beam structure will result in said steel I-beam arms ripping and tearing apart the vehicle'"'"'s engine and chassis, and/or said x-shaped, steel I-beam structure lodging under said vehicle causing the front wheels to elevate off the ground, and/or said x-shaped, steel I-beam structure lodging under said vehicle causing it to flip over onto its side or back, any of which such actions will hinder any further forward progress of said vehicle.

Abstract
Portable vehicular barricade and vehicle disabling device consisting of three structural steel I-beams joined together at a central axis location at right angles to each other to form a large, 3-dimensional, x-shaped structure. When placed on the ground, the barricade will come to rest on three of the structural steel I-beam ends, forming a stable tripod I-beam base. The remaining three structural steel I-beam ends will be facing upwards and out from the central axis of the device. Upon impact of an on-coming vehicle, the tripod I-beam ends will dig into the ground while the steel I-beam ends facing upwards and out will tear through the vehicle'"'"'s chassis and engine components, and at the same time, roll over with the vehicle'"'"'s momentum to cause the barricade device to lodge itself under the vehicle, impeding any further forward motion of the vehicle, and possibly forcing the vehicle on its side or back.

2. A portable vehicular barricade and vehicle disabling device comprising:
-
(a) three structural steel I-beams, each said structural steel I-beam between three and six feet in length, (b) two locking pin sets, (c) two top link bushings, (d) means for joining said structural steel I-beams together at a central axis location at perpendicular angles to each other forming a 3-dimensional, x-shaped, steel I-beam structure, said x-shaped, steel I-beam structure to act as a vehicular barricade and vehicle disabling device, capable of supporting the weight of an automobile when placed upon the ground, with steel I-beam arms radiating outward from said central axis location, whereby any vehicular impact upon said x-shaped, steel I-beam structure will result in said steel I-beam arms ripping and tearing apart the vehicle'"'"'s engine and chassis, and/or said x-shaped, steel I-beam structure lodging under said vehicle causing the front wheels to elevate off the ground, and/or said x-shaped, steel I-beam structure lodging under said vehicle causing it to flip over onto its side or back, any of which such actions will hinder any further forward progress of said vehicle.
