Personal device to counter attacks with a bladed weapon

Abstract

[0043] Personal device for countering attacks with a bladed weapon. [00444] The invention aims to provide and offer a simple, intuitive, and active solution for victims of attacks in order to protect the physical integrity of the first responder and thus delay the attack until the arrival of security forces. [0045] It consists of ribs that deploy (1), under the action of gas springs (2). An axis with a coaxial torsion spring (3) assists the opening of the half-shells, which form an angle of 180° with respect to their closed position (4). The assembly is held in this position by the action of the attached magnets (5). The device then forms a rigid bar equipped with two handles on the user's side (6), and a flexible but taut screen on the attacker's side (9). [0046] The device according to the invention is particularly intended to counter a bladed weapon attack. [0047] Figure for the abstract: Fig 1 Fig 2 Fig 3
