ABSTRACT:
A device for capturing humans or animals, comprises a pair of projectiles each having a forward head and a rear shank. Each shank is semi-cylindrical and offset to one side of its associated head, such that when the projectiles are placed together with their shanks contiguous to each other, the two shanks together form a cylindrical body and the two heads together form a flattened body disposed in a plane perpendicular to a mating plane of the two shanks. A flexible tether interconnects the two projectiles, whereby when the two shanks are disposed contiguous to each other and inserted in the bore of the barrel of a firearm, and the firearm is fired, the two shanks will impart thrust to their respective projectiles along lines of force disposed to one side of a center of gravity of each projectile. These centers of gravity are thus disposed on opposite outward sides of those lines of thrust and lie in the plane of the flattened body, whereby when the device leaves the firearm, the projectiles will diverge to extend the tether between them in the plane of the flattened body. Hooks are carried by the heads for retarding disengagement of the device from a captured human or animal. The hooks have shanks extending through the heads whereby the hooks are slidable forwardly and rearwardly relative to the heads. When the device is launched, the hooks occupy a retracted position, but slide to an extended position by inertia when the device is stopped by a captured human or animal.
