Bank counter conceals automatic system for seizing robbers - encircling them with cables, releasing tear gas, etc.

摘要

When a pedal behind the counter is pressed, alternate sections of the counter screen tip over, bringing tear gas tubes to the robbers' head level; the tear gas is released automatically as this happens. At the same time, bullet-proof screens are raised in front of the staff. In tipping, the counter screen sections release reels of cable stored behind them; the reels roll down ramps, then circle, some to left, some to right, encircling the robbers' legs. Some reels roll straight across the blanking hall; their cable catch in the legs of furniture fixed to the floor and serve as trip wires. Small balls are distributed over the floor, and stupefying gas is released. These measures are additional to those described in the main patent.
