AUTOMOBILE WHEEL AND TRACK SNARE

PIEGE POUR ROUES D'AUTOMOBILE

English Abstract

What I claim to be my invention is a vehicle
disabling device wherein a plurality of
holding spike like probes with base plates
strung on to a cable of wire rope with ends
fashined in to a running boline or noose to
chock and hold vehicle tires wheels and
control arms wheels meaning part steel or
all steel all steel such as on a track
driven vehicle.

Claims

What I claim to be my invention is a vehicle
disabling stoping device that will bring
vehicle to a very quick stop. A one to ton
vehicle regardless of the wheel or track con-
figuration. This is accomplished by using
aircraft type cable laced through guide tubes
welded to base plates that have two to four
tire probes atached to base plates on track
driven vehicle grapling hooks are used. When
vehicle engages the device the probes lock on
to the tire solid or inflated. On track driven
hooks lock on to track shoe and drive sprocket
wheels. Cable ends are fashined with a running
boline using a double clevis for heavy vehicles.
The cable coils around spinning wheels and
track shorting the cable until it chooks the
wheels control arms drive axles and sproket
wheels.~

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
1 What is required is a method and apparatus


that can be used to halt a suspect's motor


2


vehicle in advance of police chace, render-


ing a high speed chace unneccessary. In its


4 preferred embodiment the wheel and track


snair consists of a folding deployment board


_+ Ten feet long, one or two feet wide, meas-


6 urments Gan be aproxamented depending on the


7 ixr~mediate requirements, as the device can


be assembled in a very short time. The device


with its built in nomanclature is designed to


halt a vehicle in a very short time, with in


1o moments of contact, If only one front wheel


11 is snared cable and spikes will reach a


rear wheel coiling around said wheel ren-


12 dering it motionless, Add one more cable


13 . snair for four wheel drive vehicle. Half-


' track or all track vehicle such as military


armored tank snair deviationwwill be ex-w


15 planed here in after, If device snair one


16 front wheel an d one rear wheel although not


1~ explicitly depicted vehicle will be


_ brought to a halt.
