Patent attributes
An enhanced claw in a tactical breaching system for breaching a door system having a door and a door frame, the tactical breaching system having a hydraulic cylinder configured to drive a drive piston, the enhanced claw comprising: a stationary static tooth pair mechanically fixed to the hydraulic cylinder, the static tooth pair having top and bottom static tooth surfaces; a dynamic tooth axially attached to the drive piston, the dynamic tooth having top and bottom dynamic surfaces, the dynamic tooth configured to be driven forward and away from the static tooth pair, the static tooth pair and the dynamic tooth initially aligned in a closed configuration, the enhanced claw having a plurality of parameters shared by the static tooth pair and the dynamic tooth, including; a sharply-tapered and curved profile; a relative tooth length parameter; a robustness of the claw to resist torsion; and opposing sets of grooved teeth on the top surface of the static tooth pair and on the bottom surface of the dynamic tooth, respectively.
