Abstract
A self-defense device with a body, a gun barrel, a trigger assembly, at least one forward light, and a switch is disclosed. The body is held by a human hand. The gun barrel can be positioned in the body and include an entry port and an exit port. The trigger assembly includes a trigger and a firing pin. The firing pin is moveable to engage a round in the barrel. The light can be exposed on an outer surface of the body. The light is positioned such that light emitted by the light projects forward, along the axis of the barrel. The switch can selectively activate and deactivate the light. The switch and the trigger are positioned close to one another so as to be concurrently engageable by a single human hand.
Claims18
A self-defense device comprising:
- a body being graspable and suspendable by human hand when in use;
- a gun barrel at least partially housed in said body and including an interior surface extending along a longitudinal axis between an entry port and an exit port, wherein said exit port is not enclosed by said body;
- a trigger assembly with a trigger and a firing pin and at least partially housed in said body proximate to said gun barrel such that said firing pin is selectively moveable to engage a round positioned at said entry port;
- at least one forward light at least partially housed in said body and exposed on an outer surface of said body, wherein said at least one forward light is positioned such that light emitted by said at least one forward light projects along said longitudinal axis;
- a switch configured to selectively activate and deactivate said at least one forward light, said switch at least partially housed in said body and exposed on said outer surface of said body, wherein said switch and said trigger are positioned proximate to one another so as to be concurrently engageable by different digits of a single human hand;
- and
- wherein said longitudinal axis intersects said trigger and said switch is laterally spaced from said longitudinal axis.
A self-defense device comprising:
- a body being graspable and suspendable by human hand when in use;
- a gun barrel at least partially housed in said body and including an interior surface extending along a longitudinal axis between an entry port and an exit port, wherein said exit port is not enclosed by said body;
- a trigger assembly with a trigger and a firing pin and at least partially housed in said body proximate to said gun barrel such that said firing pin is selectively moveable to engage a round positioned at said entry port;
- at least one forward light at least partially housed in said body and exposed on an outer surface of said body, wherein said at least one forward light is positioned such that light emitted by said at least one forward light projects along said longitudinal axis;
- a switch configured to selectively activate and deactivate said at least one forward light, said switch at least partially housed in said body and exposed on said outer surface of said body, wherein said switch and said trigger are positioned proximate to one another so as to be concurrently engageable by different digits of a single human hand;
- an optical scanner at least partially housed in said body and exposed on said outer surface of said body, said optical scanner configured to sense contents of an optical field forward of said exit port and emit first signals corresponding to the sensed optical field;
- a first transceiver at least partially housed in said body and at least partially exposed on said outer surface of said body, said first transceiver configured to receive said first signals corresponding to the sensed optical field from said optical scanner and emit said first signals wirelessly;
- and
- a computing device, having one or more processors and a second transceiver, configured to receive said first signals from said first transceiver, compare said first signals to a database of criminal offenders, and emit a warning signal wirelessly.
