Expandable baton with resilient member mounted in tip

Abstract

A plurality of accessories which may be assembled in a kit in a compact carrying case for modifying an expandable baton for multiple uses. The kit includes two expandable batons, a coupler, interchangeable tips and a carrying case. Each expandable baton includes a telescoping end with a removable tip and a handle with a threaded end covered by an endcap. The removable tip is specifically designed to include a circumferential resilient member which prevents the tip from accidently disengaging from the baton while being easily interchangeable. The coupler is readily secured to the threaded end of each baton to form a riot control device which is expanded by a rapid single twisting motion. The baton may also be modified for use as a search tool by replacing the interchangeable tip of the baton with any of a plurality of interchangeable tips. The interchangeable tips may also be used with a shorter baton, such as a keyring baton.
