A view of the machinery from the new telescopic baton

The telescopic truncheon originated from the short club. Designed to be easy to carry, the stick has three telescopic sections and is widely used in law enforcement and civil defense departments around the world. At present, there are two kinds of telescopic batons, one is the resistance lock telescopic batons, the other is the mechanical lock telescopic batons. In the past, most of the telescopic batons issued by the public were (mostly cheap) resistance batons. In the complex grass-roots work environment, convenient police equipment is urgently needed.

Retractable truncheon is an indispensable police equipment for duty patrol, check card and plain clothes arrest. Batons are secondary military equipment in addition to guns. However, the batons issued by the public security department have been criticized by grassroots police officers.

The back end of each section of the resistance pendulum is slightly larger than the front end of the previous section, so that when the pendulum is pushed out, the connecting end can be held in place by a diameter difference. The disadvantage of this type of swing is that when recovering the swing, the strike end needs to be hammered hard to regain the swing‘s restored original shape, which may damage the swing strike head over time.

Another widely used pendulum design is the mechanical pendulum. When the swing rod is thrown from the rod body, the mechanical swing rod maintains the shape of the short rod by means of an internal mechanical lock. Unlike a drag swing bar, it requires a hammer head to contract. There is a button on the handle of the joystick that can be gently pressed to recover. The design also allows the mechanical pendulum rod to expand, move or push, but the resistance pendulum rod cannot expand due to shrinkage.

In 2018, a new equipment standard for individual soldiers was formulated and implemented, among which the telescopic batons were replaced by mechanical batons. It is understood that the new telescopic batons are designed directly from gas products, with technical documentation provided by tactical equipment manufacturer gas, and are produced to uniform standards in many factories. As we all know, the world brand is Germany Eka wheel lock mechanical rod and China air drum lock mechanical rod.

From the new telescopic batons, we can see that changes in the structure of the parts may change its core, and a good product created by machinery may become the key to the birth of a new brand! Similarly, the new telescopic batons have greatly ensured police safety.
