Abstract
A tear gas-based enhancement to a fluid bed security system implemented for the purpose of inhibiting unauthorized entry or access and to provide additional time for threatened individuals to evacuate or escape a hostile assembly at the perimeter of a secured area. The system provides for the reliable and controlled application of a specified concentration of tear gas emitted in conjunction with fluidizing gas distributed through a fluid bed configuration comprising a gas distribution piping array and a plurality of fluidizable granular solids in a surrounding relationship to the gas distribution piping array.

1-48. (canceled)
A tear gas enhanced fluid bed security system comprising:
- a fluid bed intrusion area within which a plurality of fluidizable granular solids is disposed;
- an air blower;
- a plenum chamber located beneath said plurality of fluidizable granular solids;
- a distributor plate located above said plenum chamber;
- a plurality of lines operatively connected to said air blower, said lines supplying fluidizing air from said air blower to said plenum chamber and said distributor plate and into said plurality of fluidizable granular solids located in said fluid bed intrusion area;
- and
- a first tank comprising a tear gas solution, said tank being fluidly connected to said plurality of lines supplying fluidizing air;
- wherein when said air blower is activated, said fluidizing air and said tear gas solution is supplied together to said plurality of lines to disperse said tear gas solution via said distributor plate through said fluid bed intrusion area.
A tear gas enhanced fluid bed security system comprising:
- a fluid bed intrusion area within which a plurality of fluidizable granular solids is disposed;
- a gas fluidizer;
- a plenum chamber located beneath said plurality of fluidizable granular solids;
- a distributor plate located above said plenum chamber;
- a high pressure tank operatively connected to said gas fluidizer;
- a plurality of lines operatively connected to said gas fluidizer, said lines supplying fluidizing air from said gas fluidizer to said plenum chamber and said distributor plate and into said plurality of fluidizable granular solids located in said fluid bed intrusion area;
- and
- a first tank comprising a tear gas solution, said tank being fluidly connected to said plurality of lines supplying fluidizing air;
- wherein when said gas fluidizer is activated, said fluidizing air and said tear gas solution is supplied together to said plurality of lines to disperse said tear gas solution via said distributor plate through said fluid bed intrusion area;
- and further
- wherein said high pressure tank is adapted to supply rapid fluidization of said fluidizable granular solids in said fluid bed intrusion area in less than five seconds.
A tear gas delivery system for supplying a reliably controlled concentration of tear gas, comprising:
- an air blower;
- a supply line connected to a piping array, said supply line being attached to said air blower;
- a surge tank fluidly connected to said air blower and said supply line;
- a first tank, said first tank holding tear gas solution, said tank being fluidly connected to said supply line;
- a second tank, said second tank holding nitrogen and being fluidly connected to supply nitrogen to said first tank holding said tear gas solution.
- wherein when said air blower is activated, said tear gas solution is released into said supply line for mixing with air and is dispersed via said piping array at an air pressure of approximately 6 psig.
