Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of security equipment, specifically relating to a flexible control fork. Background Technology

[0002] In security operations, it is common to encounter groups of people who pose little threat and do not exhibit violent behavior, but are emotionally agitated. Security personnel cannot simply ignore these individuals, nor can they readily employ overly forceful restraint devices. Using excessively forceful devices against such individuals would not only lack moral support but could also escalate the situation, hindering on-site management. Existing security equipment does not meet these requirements; therefore, a device with flexible control capabilities is needed to manage such individuals while minimizing the possibility of escalation. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a flexible control fork to solve the technical problem that the security equipment in the prior art has strong restraint and is not suitable for controlling harmless people who are emotionally agitated.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: A flexible control fork, comprising:

[0005] An elastic self-locking ring, wherein the elastic self-locking ring is a long strip of metal plate, the axial cross-section of the long strip of metal plate is an arc surface, and a rope buckle is provided in the middle of the concave surface of the long strip of metal plate;

[0006] A fork handle, one end of which is provided with a grip and the other end of which is provided with a positioning bracket. The positioning bracket is provided with at least two fulcrums, and the top surface of each fulcrum is provided with a first magnetic block.

[0007] The concave side of the elongated metal plate is provided with a second magnetic block at the position corresponding to the fulcrum;

[0008] The positioning bracket is provided with a traction rope in the middle, and the traction rope is connected to the rope buckle.

[0009] Before use, the elastic self-locking ring is unfolded, and then the second magnetic block on the concave side is aligned and attracted with the first magnetic block on the positioning bracket, so that the convex side faces the controlled person. When the unfolded elastic self-locking ring comes into contact with the controlled person's body, the elastic self-locking ring will automatically roll into a ring shape to lock the controlled person. There is also a traction rope connecting the elastic self-locking ring and the fork handle, so that there is a certain distance between the fork handle and the controlled person, so as not to stimulate the controlled person.

[0010] Furthermore, a protective cloth is fitted over the surface of the elastic self-locking ring.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this step are as follows: Since the elastic self-locking ring is relatively thin, in order to prevent the controlled personnel or security personnel from being cut during use, a protective cloth needs to be placed on its surface to provide protection.

[0012] Furthermore: one side of the protective fabric has round loops with Velcro, and the other side of the protective fabric has barbs with Velcro.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this step are: the elastic self-locking ring, which is wound into a loop, overlaps at the points where the front and back of the protective fabric come into contact, thus locking the Velcro together and further strengthening the connection and tightness of the ring.

[0014] Furthermore: the traction rope is disposed inside the fork handle, and the other end of the traction rope is connected to one end of the grip via an elastic element.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this step are that, under the action of the elastic element, both the elastic self-locking ring and the fork handle have a certain range of extension and retraction.

[0016] Furthermore, the end of the traction rope facing the rope buckle is provided with a buckle or quick-release buckle.

[0017] The benefits of using this step: the buckle or quick-release buckle makes it easy to separate the traction rope from the rope buckle.

[0018] Furthermore: the fork handle is provided with an outer sleeve and a core sleeve, the grip is located at the end of the outer sleeve, and the positioning bracket is located at the end of the core sleeve;

[0019] A positioning pin and a locking collar are provided between the core rod and the outer rod.

[0020] The benefits of this step include: the locating pin and locking collar allow for adjustment of the working length of the fork handle.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0022] 1. This application uses an elastic self-locking ring to control the controlled person, and then uses a traction rope to connect the elastic self-locking ring and the fork handle, so that the fork handle and the controlled person are kept at a certain distance. Since the traction rope is not easy to be detected, it can prevent the controlled person from being further stimulated and reduce the difficulty of control.

[0023] 2. The traction rope and the fork handle are connected by an elastic element, which has a certain degree of elasticity. It can exhaust the physical strength of the controlled person without them noticing, thus reducing the difficulty of control.

[0024] 3. Even if the controlled person's emotions are agitated under the stimulation of the elastic self-locking ring, the positioning bracket at the front end of the fork handle still has the ability to forcibly control the controlled person. Attached Figure Description

[0040] Example

[0041] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the flexible control fork provided by this utility model includes:

[0042] The elastic self-locking ring 1 is a long strip of metal plate with an arc-shaped axial cross-section and a rope buckle 12 in the middle of the concave surface of the long strip of metal plate.

[0043] The fork handle 2 has a grip 3 at one end and a positioning bracket 4 at the other end. The positioning bracket 4 has at least two support points 41, and each support point 41 has a first magnetic block 42 on its top surface.

[0044] The concave side of the elongated metal plate is provided with a second magnetic block 11 at the position corresponding to the fulcrum 41;

[0045] The positioning bracket 4 is provided with a traction rope 5 in the middle, and the traction rope 5 is connected to the rope buckle 12.

[0046] Before use, the elastic self-locking ring 1 is unfolded, and then the second magnetic block 11 on the concave side is aligned and attracted with the first magnetic block 42 on the positioning bracket 4. The elastic self-locking ring 1 can then be fixed on the positioning bracket 4, so that the convex side of the elastic self-locking ring 1 faces the controlled person (after the center part of the convex side is subjected to force, both ends will roll towards the center). When the unfolded elastic self-locking ring 1 comes into contact with the body of the controlled person, the elastic self-locking ring 1 will automatically roll into a ring shape to lock the controlled person. Then, there is a traction rope 5 connecting the elastic self-locking ring 1 and the fork handle 2, so that there is still a certain distance between the fork handle 2 and the controlled person, so as not to stimulate the controlled person.

[0047] Based on the above technical solution, a protective cloth is fitted on the surface of the elastic self-locking ring 1.

[0048] Because the elastic self-locking ring 1 is relatively thin (if it were thicker, it would be difficult to roll up), in order to prevent the controlled personnel or security personnel from being cut during use, a protective cloth needs to be placed on its surface to provide protection.

[0049] Based on the above technical solution, one side of the protective fabric is provided with round loops of Velcro, and the other side of the protective fabric is provided with barbs of Velcro.

[0050] The elastic self-locking ring 1, which is wound into a loop, overlaps at the point where the front and back of the protective fabric come into contact, so that the Velcro is locked in place, further strengthening the connection and tightness of the ring.

[0051] Based on the above technical solution, the traction rope 5 is located inside the fork handle 2, and the other end of the traction rope 5 is connected to one end of the grip 3 through an elastic element, which can be a spring, a rubber band, or other materials.

[0052] Under the action of the elastic element, the elastic self-locking ring 1 and the fork handle 2 have a certain range of extension and retraction. Like playing a fish while fishing, they can exhaust the physical strength of the person being controlled without the person being controlled noticing, so as to make them controllable.

[0053] Based on the above technical solution, the end of the traction rope 5 facing the rope buckle 12 is provided with a buckle 51 or a quick-release buckle.

[0054] The buckle 51 or quick-release buckle makes it easy to separate the traction rope 5 and the rope buckle 12.

[0055] Based on the above technical solution, the fork handle 2 is provided with an outer sleeve 21 and a core 22, the grip 3 is provided at the end of the outer sleeve 21, and the positioning bracket 4 is provided at the end of the core 22;

[0056] A positioning pin 211 and a locking collar 212 are provided between the core rod 22 and the outer rod 21. The positioning pin 211 is a pin with elastic ejection capability set on the core rod 22, and a pin hole is set at the corresponding position on the outer rod 21. When the outer rod 21 and the core rod 22 are aligned, the pin pops out and is locked in the pin hole to achieve positioning. The locking collar 212 has an external thread and a clearance groove at the end of the outer rod 21. A locking ring with an internal thread is provided outside the external thread. The locking ring tightens the end of the outer rod 21 by screwing it in, thereby locking the core rod 22. The external thread and the internal thread are compatible tapered pipe threads.

[0057] The positioning pin 211 and locking collar 212 can adjust and lock the length of the fork handle 2.

[0058] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
