Abstract

The device is a self-contained-defense-system. The entire unit is housed inside a blended set of athletic gloves and emits an electrical charge against an unwanted attacker. It can be utilized by men or women, both young and old, for personal safety. The electrical charge emitted is not strong enough to kill, but the voltage can be increased in order to assist the military and the police.

Claims

1. A self-contained defense system housed inside a blended set of athletic gloves that emits an electrical charge against an unwanted attacker.

2. The circuit of claim 1, in order to arm the system, the individual first activates it by turning on the power with the main switch inside the velcro pocket. Once the system is initially armed, there is still no power going to the contact point or the electrical conductive cloth until the second, miniature tact momentary switch is depressed by the first index finger.

When the contact points engage the unwanted attacker, the victim presses the miniature tact momentary switch hidden inside and underneath the first index finger. At which point the power from the batteries flows through the DC/AC Converter, enhanced with the transformer and released through the contact points and the electrical conductive cloth to generate 17.5 volts per glove or 35 volts per pair at the attacker.
