Vehicle Arresting Device

Abstract

A vehicle arresting device for rapidly disabling a moving vehicle includes a plurality of first wires and a plurality of second wires. Each second wire is coupled to each first wire. The first wires and the second wires are gridded and define a plurality of intersections. Each of a plurality of spikes, which is barbed, is coupled to and extends from a respective intersection. The spikes are configured to penetrate and couple to one or more tires of a vehicle passing over the spikes. The first wires and the second wires are rotationally compelled to entangle rotational components of the vehicle to arrest the vehicle.

1 . A vehicle arresting device comprising:
 a plurality of first wires, said first wires comprising braided steel;   a plurality of second wires, said second wired comprising braided steel, each said second wire being coupled to each said first wire such that said first wires and said second wires define a grid having plurality of intersections;   a plurality of spikes, said spikes being barbed, each said spike being coupled to and extending from a respective said intersection, each of said spikes extending perpendicularly from a face of said grid in a first direction;   a plurality of connectors, each said connector being coupled to a respective said first wire and a respective said second wire at a respective said intersection to couple said respective said second wire to said respective said first wire, each said connector comprising a bottom tube coupled to a top tube such that said top tube and said bottom tube are perpendicularly positioned; and   wherein said spikes are positioned on said intersections such that said spikes are configured for penetrating and coupling to one or more tires of a vehicle passing over said spikes, such that said first wires and said second wires are rotationally compelled to entangle rotational components of the vehicle for arresting the vehicle.
