Stun apparel and devices

Abstract

A stun apparatus can include a shock box, wherein the shock box comprises: a housing; a positive terminal; a negative terminal; and a gas discharge tube comprising an input contact electrically coupled to an energy supply device and an output contact electrically coupled to the positive terminal, wherein when a voltage at the input contact becomes equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold voltage, an electrical current arcs within the gas discharge tube from the input contact to the output contact and causes an energy pulse to be delivered to the positive terminal or to a positive contact via the positive terminal, and wherein the shock box is configured to cause current to flow to the negative terminal or a negative contact through a person's body; and an article, wherein the shock box is attached to the article. The article can be a stun shield, belt, vest, or jumpsuit.
