Abstract

A vehicle restraint device has an outer housing. An inner housing is positioned within the outer housing. A plurality of spikes is removably attached to the inner housing.

Claims (34)

1. A vehicle restraint device comprising:

an outer housing, wherein the outer housing is of a triangular tube;

an inner housing positioned within the outer housing, wherein the inner housing is a hexagonal tube that slides within the triangular tube so that exterior surfaces of the hexagonal tube engage interior surfaces of the triangular tube;

a plurality of perforations formed through the hexagonal tube; and

a first plurality of spikes each extending through a corresponding pair of the plurality of perforations so that opposing ends of each of the first plurality of spikes extends out of the hexagonal tube.

2. The vehicle restraint device of claim 1 , wherein the first plurality of spikes comprises:

a cylindrical member;

a pointed end formed on at least one end of the cylindrical member.

3. The vehicle restraint device of claim 2 , wherein the first plurality of spikes comprise a pointed end formed on opposing ends of the cylindrical member.

4. The vehicle restraint device of claim 2 , wherein the cylindrical member is hollow.

5. The vehicle restraint device of claim 1 , wherein the first plurality of spikes are arranged in a plurality of triangular configurations, the triangular configurations positioned along a length of the inner housing.

6. The vehicle restraint device of claim 5 , comprising a second plurality of spikes each extending through only one of the plurality of perforations, wherein the second plurality of spikes are arranged in a plurality of Y″ shaped configurations, the “Y” shaped configurations positioned along a length of the inner housing.

7. A vehicle restraint device comprising:

an outer triangular tubular housing;

an inner hexagonal tubular housing positioned within the outer triangular tubular housing;

a plurality of perforations formed through the inner hexagonal tubular housing; and

a first plurality of spikes removably attached to the inner housing, the perforations removably holding the first plurality of spikes within the inner hexagonal tubular housing, wherein each of the first plurality of spikes extend through a corresponding pair of the plurality of perforations so that opposing ends of each of the first plurality of spikes extends out of the hexagonal tube.

8. The vehicle restraint device of claim 7 , wherein the first plurality of spikes comprise:

a cylindrical member;

a pointed end formed on at least one end of the cylindrical member.

9. The vehicle restraint device of claim 7 , wherein the first plurality of spikes comprise a pointed end formed on opposing ends of the cylindrical member.

10. The vehicle restraint device of claim 7 , wherein the cylindrical member is hollow.

11. The vehicle restraint device of claim 7 , wherein the first plurality of spikes are arranged in a plurality of triangular configurations, the triangular configurations positioned along a length of the inner housing.

12. The vehicle restraint device of claim 11 , comprising a second plurality of spikes each extending through one of the plurality of perforations, wherein the second plurality of spikes are arranged in a plurality of Y″ shaped configurations, the “Y” shaped configurations positioned along a length of the inner housing.

13. A vehicle restraint device comprising:

an outer triangular tubular housing;

an inner hexagonal tubular housing positioned within the outer triangular tubular housing;

a plurality of perforations formed through the inner hexagonal tubular housing; and

a plurality of spikes removably attached to the inner housing, the perforations removably holding the plurality of spikes within the inner hexagonal tubular housing, wherein each spike comprises:

a hollow cylindrical member; and

a pointed end formed on at least one end of the cylindrical member;

wherein the plurality of spikes comprises a first plurality of spikes, wherein each of the first plurality of spikes extend through a corresponding pair of the plurality of perforations so that opposing ends of each of the first plurality of spikes extends out of the hexagonal tube, wherein each opposing end is pointed.

14. The vehicle restraint device of claim 13 , wherein the first plurality of spikes are arranged in a plurality of triangular configurations, the triangular configurations positioned along a length of the inner housing.

15. The vehicle restraint device of claim 14 , comprising a second plurality of spikes each extending through one of the plurality of perforations, wherein the second plurality of spikes are arranged in a plurality of “Y” shaped configurations, the “Y” shaped configurations positioned along a length of the inner housing.
