Door breacher

A door breaching device adapted to provide a user with two ways of breaching a door, said device comprising:

• a longitudinal chassis having a first extremity opposite a second extremity;
• a piston assembly located at said first extremity of the chassis, said piston assembly comprising a piston rod, said piston rod having a first piston rod end with a head and a second piston rod end located inside a piston chamber, said piston chamber having a first piston chamber end having an opening adapted for a movement of the piston rod therethrough and a second piston chamber end located opposite said first piston chamber end;
• wherein said piston rod is adapted for linear displacement between a first position where the second piston rod end is positioned at the second piston chamber end and a second position where the second piston rod end is at the first piston chamber end;
• a motor operatively connected to a hydraulic pump which is operatively connected to the piston chamber;
• a control unit for user input, said control unit being operatively connected to the motor;
• a two-part head assembly comprising:
• a fixed jaw, attached to the first extremity of the chassis;
• and
• a movable jaw, operatively connected to the piston rod of the piston assembly;
• a first guide rod having a first guide rod end and a second guide rod end opposite the first guide rod end, said first guide rod positioned on one side of the piston rod and parallel to the piston rod, said first guide rod end attached to the movable jaw and the second guide rod end slidably engaged with the chassis, wherein a diameter of the first guide rod is smaller than a diameter of the piston rod;
• and
• a second guide rod having a first rod end and a second rod end opposite the first rod end, said second guide rod positioned on an opposite side of the piston rod and parallel to the piston rod, said first rod end attached to the movable jaw and the second rod end slidably engaged with the chassis, wherein a diameter of the second guide rod is smaller than the diameter of the piston rod;
• wherein the first and second guide rods are spaced apart a distance greater than the diameter of the piston rod,
• wherein, when the device is in a rest position, the piston rod is in a retracted position to allow the fixed jaw and the movable jaw to form a L-shaped extension from the chassis, and upon actuation, the piston rod moves outwardly from the retraction position, the fixed jaw braces the device against an element of a door and frame assembly, while the movable jaw applies a linear force to an opposite element of the door and frame assembly thereby having the movable jaw and fixed jaw form a F-shaped extension from the chassis, and
• wherein the device can alternatively be used as a battering ram by said user.

A door breaching device adapted to provide a user with two ways of breaching a door, said device comprising:

• a longitudinal chassis having a first extremity and a second extremity opposite the first extremity;
• a striking head on the first extremity, said striking head positioned substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the longitudinal chassis and having a substantially flat outer surface;
• a first handle on a longitudinal side of the longitudinal chassis, said first handle extending away from the longitudinal axis of the longitudinal chassis;
• a second handle positioned on the second extremity, said second handle extending in a direction along the longitudinal axis of the longitudinal chassis;
• a piston assembly located at said first extremity of the chassis, said piston assembly comprising a piston rod, said piston rod having a first piston rod end with a head and a second piston rod end located inside a piston chamber, said piston chamber having a first piston chamber end having an opening adapted for a movement of the piston rod therethrough and a second piston chamber end located opposite said first piston chamber end, wherein said piston rod is adapted for linear displacement between a first position where the second piston rod end is positioned at the second piston chamber end and a second position where the second piston rod end is at the first piston chamber end;
• a motor operatively connected to a hydraulic pump which is operatively connected to the piston chamber;
• a control unit for user input, said control unit being operatively connected to the motor;
• and
• a two-part head assembly comprising:
• a fixed jaw, attached to the first extremity of the chassis;
• and
• a movable jaw, operatively connected to the piston rod of the piston assembly, wherein the movable jaw moves outwardly and away from the first and second extremities of the longitudinal chassis;
• wherein, when the device is in a rest position, the piston rod is in a retracted position to allow the fixed jaw and the movable jaw to form a L-shaped extension from the chassis, and upon actuation, the piston rod moves outwardly from the retracted position, the fixed jaw braces the device against an element of a door and frame assembly, while the movable jaw applies a linear force to an opposite element of the door and frame assembly thereby having the movable jaw and fixed jaw form a F-shaped extension from the chassis,
• wherein the device can alternatively be used as a battering ram by said user.
