Abstract

An apparatus for administering an incapacitating electric shock to a person is provided, which comprises a portable power source, at least one pair of electrodes operatively associated with the power source and that are configured to deliver an electric shock to the person'"'"'s body, a locking mechanism configured to secure the electrodes at a desired position on said person'"'"'s body and a remote control capable of generating and transmitting a signal to the power source that triggers the electric shock. The apparatus is operable such that the remote control may trigger an electric shock in a single power source, or in a plurality of power sources.

Claims

1. An apparatus for administering an incapacitating electric shock to a person, comprising:

a portable power source weighing less than about 16 ounces;

at least one pair of electrodes operatively associated with said power source, said electrodes configured to deliver a predetermined amount and duration of an electric shock to a person'"'"'s body;

a locking mechanism configured to secure the electrodes at a desired position on said person'"'"'s body, said locking mechanism comprising a ratchet operatively associated with a band and a magnetic means for reversibly engaging a pawl with said band;

a remote control at least comprising an array of buttons, a power source, and a means for generating and transmitting at least one specific radio signal; and

wherein said power source is adapted to receive said at least one specific radio signal and in response thereto, subsequently generate a low current electric shock in the range of about 40,000 volts to 80,000 volts.

2. An apparatus for administering an incapacitating electric shock to a person, comprising:

a portable power source capable of generating an electric shock in response to at least one specific radio signal;

at least one pair of electrodes operatively associated with said power source, said electrodes configured to deliver said electric shock to said person'"'"'s body;

a locking mechanism configured to secure the electrodes at a desired position on said person'"'"'s body;

a remote control comprising at least an array of buttons, a power source, and a means for generating and transmitting the at least one specific radio signal; and

wherein said power source is adapted to receive said at least one specific radio signal and in response thereto, subsequently generate an electric shock to said person'"'"'s body.

3. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the power source weighs less than about 16 ounces.

4. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the electrodes are further configured to deliver said electric shock to said person'"'"'s body at a predetermined amount and duration.

5. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein said locking mechanism at least comprises a ratchet operatively associated with a band and a magnetic means for reversibly engaging a pawl with said band.

6. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the electric shock is a low current high voltage electric shock.

7. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the electric shock is administered in the range of about 40,000 volts to 80,000 volts.

8. A method for administering an incapacitating electric shock to a person, comprising:

providing a portable power source weighing less than about 16 ounces wherein said power source is adapted to receive at least one specific radio signal and in response thereto, subsequently generate a low current electric shock in the range of about 40,000 volts to 80,000 volts;

providing at least one pair of electrodes operatively associated with said power source, said electrodes configured to deliver said electric shock to said person'"'"'s body;

providing a locking mechanism configured to secure the electrodes at a desired position on said person'"'"'s body, said locking mechanism comprising a ratchet operatively associated with a band and a magnetic means for reversibly engaging a pawl with said band;

providing a remote control comprising an array of buttons, a power source, and a means for generating and transmitting the at least one specific radio signal;

configuring the remote control to generate the at least one specific radio signal;

securing the electrodes to the person'"'"'s body by tightening the band of the locking mechanism onto the person'"'"'s body;

transmitting the at least one specific radio signal from the remote control to the power source;

receiving the at least one specific radio signal at the power source; and

administering the electric shock from the power source to the person in response to the at least one specific radio signal.
