Abstract

Abstract Passenger disabling apparatus mounted in and under an airplane seat and remotely actuated by a pilot or a crew member for disabling an airplane hijacker. The disabling apparatus comprises a solenoid actuated seat belt buckle lock in combination with an inflatable seat back and hypodermic injection apparatus arranged for driving the needle of a hypodermic syringe through the seat cushion into the passenger to instantly sedate or kill the passenger.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim 45 words
The combination called for in claim 1 wherein the link means comprising first and second links of substantially equal lengths arranged to form a parallel linkage such that upon movement of said links the needle on the syringe is maintained in a substantially vertical orientation.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 63 words
The combination called for in claim 1 wherein the means securing the syringe to the link means comprises, a tubular body pivotally secured to the link means, said tubular body having a bore formed therein in which the syringe is disposed; and wherein the means to move the plunger comprises means secured to the tubular body and to the plunger of the syringe.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 93 words
In combination with a sEat, hypodermic injector means arranged to inject fluid into a person occupying the seat; means securing the hypodermic injector means relative to the seat; actuated means associated with the hypodermic injector means adapted to dispense fluid from the injector means; actuating means located remotely from the injector means, said actuating means being adapted to actuate the actuated means to inject fluid; an inflatable bag secured to the seat; a source of pressurized fluid; and means actuated by the actuating means to deliver fluid from said source to the bag.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 93 words
In combination with a sEat, hypodermic injector means arranged to inject fluid into a person occupying the seat; means securing the hypodermic injector means relative to the seat; actuated means associated with the hypodermic injector means adapted to dispense fluid from the injector means; actuating means located remotely from the injector means, said actuating means being adapted to actuate the actuated means to inject fluid; an inflatable bag secured to the seat; a source of pressurized fluid; and means actuated by the actuating means to deliver fluid from said source to the bag.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 98 words
In combination with a seat; hypodermic injector means arranged to inject fluid into a person occupying the seat; means securing the hypodermic injector means relative to the seat; actuated means associated with the hypodermic injector means adapted to dispense fluid from the injector means; actuating means located remotely from the injector means, said actuating means being adapted to actuate the actuated means to inject fluid; a seat belt having sections secured to said seat; a buckle arranged to connect said sections; and means actuated by said actuating means to lock said buckle to prevent disconnecting of said sections.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 98 words
In combination with a seat; hypodermic injector means arranged to inject fluid into a person occupying the seat; means securing the hypodermic injector means relative to the seat; actuated means associated with the hypodermic injector means adapted to dispense fluid from the injector means; actuating means located remotely from the injector means, said actuating means being adapted to actuate the actuated means to inject fluid; a seat belt having sections secured to said seat; a buckle arranged to connect said sections; and means actuated by said actuating means to lock said buckle to prevent disconnecting of said sections.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 151 words
Injector apparatus comprising, a general frame; a cushion supported by said frame; link means pivotally secured relative to the frame; a hypodermic syringe having a plunger slidably disposed therein; a hollow needle attached to said hypodermic syringe, said plunger being arranged to force fluid through said hollow needle; resilient means initially mounted in compression associated with the syringe arranged to urge the plunger through the syringe; a tubular body pivotally secured to the link means, said tubular body having a bore formed therein in which the syringe is disposed; means to pivot the link means relative to the frame such that the needle is urged through the cushion; solenoid means having a moveable core; means to secure said solenoid means to said tubular body; and means detachably securing the plunger to the core such that the plunger is disengaged permitting movement thereof by the resilient means when the solenoid is energized.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 151 words
Injector apparatus comprising, a general frame; a cushion supported by said frame; link means pivotally secured relative to the frame; a hypodermic syringe having a plunger slidably disposed therein; a hollow needle attached to said hypodermic syringe, said plunger being arranged to force fluid through said hollow needle; resilient means initially mounted in compression associated with the syringe arranged to urge the plunger through the syringe; a tubular body pivotally secured to the link means, said tubular body having a bore formed therein in which the syringe is disposed; means to pivot the link means relative to the frame such that the needle is urged through the cushion; solenoid means having a moveable core; means to secure said solenoid means to said tubular body; and means detachably securing the plunger to the core such that the plunger is disengaged permitting movement thereof by the resilient means when the solenoid is energized.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 182 words
Injector apparatus comprising, a general frame; a cushion supported by said frame; link means pivotally secured relative to the frame; a hypodermic syringe; a hollow needle secured to said syringe; a plunger slidably disposed in said syringe, said plunger being arranged to force fluid through said hollow needle; a tubular body pivotally secured to the link means, said tubular body having a bore formed therein; a hollow sleeve slidably disposed in the bore of the tubular body, said syringe being slidably disposed in the hollow portion of the sleeve; resilient means associated with the syringe arranged to move plunger through the syringe; means on said sleeve arranged to detachably secure the plunger to the sleeve; means to pivot the link means relative to the frame such that the needle is urged through the cushion; means secured to the tubular body arranged to move the sleeve through the bore in the tubular body until movement thereof is restricted at which time the plunger is disconnected from the sleeve permitting movement of the plunger by the resilient means for discharging fluid from the needle.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 182 words
Injector apparatus comprising, a general frame; a cushion supported by said frame; link means pivotally secured relative to the frame; a hypodermic syringe; a hollow needle secured to said syringe; a plunger slidably disposed in said syringe, said plunger being arranged to force fluid through said hollow needle; a tubular body pivotally secured to the link means, said tubular body having a bore formed therein; a hollow sleeve slidably disposed in the bore of the tubular body, said syringe being slidably disposed in the hollow portion of the sleeve; resilient means associated with the syringe arranged to move plunger through the syringe; means on said sleeve arranged to detachably secure the plunger to the sleeve; means to pivot the link means relative to the frame such that the needle is urged through the cushion; means secured to the tubular body arranged to move the sleeve through the bore in the tubular body until movement thereof is restricted at which time the plunger is disconnected from the sleeve permitting movement of the plunger by the resilient means for discharging fluid from the needle.
