Abstract
A self-defense device having a handle, a spool and a line. One end of the line is secured to the handle while the other end of the line is secured to the spool. As assembled, the line is coiled around the spool and the spool is inserted through an opening of the handle. One end of the spool is sized to abut the handle while the other end of the spool is sized and configured extend within the opening and be releasably secured therein. To deploy the device, a user grasps the handle and releases the spool from engagement therewith thereby allowing gravity to unwind the line from the spool.
Claims20
A self-defense assembly comprising:
- a handle having an opening therethrough;
- a spool partially inserted within the opening in the handle and releasably secured to the handle;
- and
- a line attached at or near one end thereof to the handle and attached at or near the other end thereof to the spool, the line being coiled around the spool as assembled.
A self-defense device comprising:
- a handle having an opening therethrough;
- a spool having a first end inserted within the opening and a second end which abuts the handle thereby preventing the spool from completely passing through the opening;
- and
- a line wrapped around the spool and having one end secured to the handle and the other end secured to the spool.
A self-defense device comprising:
- a ring having an opening therethrough;
- a spool inserted within the opening, the spool having a first end with external dimensions that are larger than the opening, a second end with external dimensions less than the first end and an intermediate portion with external dimensions less than the first end and the second end, the spool being inserted within the opening until the first end abuts the ring;
- a line wrapped around the intermediate portion of the spool and having a first end secured to the first end of the spool and a second end secured to the ring;
- and
- a member releasably secured to the second end of the spool so as to allow the ring, the spool and the line to be transported together.
