Lockable tranquilizer bracelet
First Claim
1. A tranquilizer bracelet for administering a dose of tranquilizer to a wearer through said wearer'"'"'s wrist, comprising:
- a. a tranquilizer assembly, having an inward facing side and an outward facing side, for use on said wrist, and containing a tranquilizing agent therein and means for injecting said tranquilizing agent into said wearer, including i. a hollow injector body containing said tranquilizing agent, having an open upper end and a closed lower end proximate said inward facing side;
ii. a piercable seal located in said closed lower end of said injector body;
iii. a piston, having an upper side and a lower side, slidably positioned within said hollow injector wherein said lower side is above said tranquilizing agent;
iv. a hollow needle, having an upper portion and a lower portion, wherein said upper portion is connected to said lower side of said piston, wherein said upper portion is pierced by an inlet hole, and wherein said lower portion opens into an injection hole;
v. a pressurized gas cartridge, having an upper end and a lower end, wherein said gas cartridge is located beside said hollow injector body with said lower end of said gas cartridge being proximate said inward facing side;
vi. a solenoid valve, having a first side and a second side, fluidly connected to said gas cartridge on said first side, and fluidly connected to said injector body above said piston on said second side;
b. a band, attached to said tranquilizer assembly and configured to encircle said wrist of said wearer so as to attach said tranquilizer assembly to said wrist with said inward facing side bearing against said wrist;
c. a lock assembly, located within said band, wherein said lock assembly can be unlocked in order to open said band and allow said tranquilizer bracelet to be placed on said wrist, and wherein said lock assembly can be locked in order to prevent said wearer from removing said tranquilizer bracelet; and
d. control means for actuating said solenoid valve, so that said solenoid valve connects said gas cartridge to said injector body in order to create a downward mechanical force on said piston.

Abstract
A tranquilizer bracelet which can be locked onto A wearer'"'"'s wrist. The bracelet contains A power source, an electronic control module, and means for injecting A tranquilizing agent into the wearer. Instructions can be sent to the control module remotely, such as by using radio transmissions. The bracelet is provided with A lock to secure it to the wrist. It can only be opened using A mechanical key or electronic code. Thus, once the bracelet is installed, it cannot be removed by the wearer. In the event that tranquilization is necessary, A remote signal is sent to the control module. The signal activates A mechanism within the bracelet which causes the injection of the tranquilizing agent. Anti-tampering mechanisms are also provided, which will produce an alert signal if the bracelet is somehow removed by the wearer.
