Abstract
The invention is an extendable police baton, which preferably includes several of the tools often needed by police personnel. In one embodiment, the baton comprises an extendable portion, flashlight, pepper sprayer and glass breaker with an integral, orthogonal handle, wherein the orthogonal handle contains the sprayer. In another embodiment without an orthogonal handle, the baton comprises a pepper sprayer which is located in the same end of the baton as the flashlight. Preferably, more than one handle/sprayer unit can cooperate with the same extendable baton/glass breaker unit, so that the user may select the style particularly advantageous for the user or the service in which it will be used.

A combination baton for law enforcement personnel, the combination baton comprising a body and a handle unit, the body comprising:
- a housing and an extendable baton slidably connected to the housing so that the extendable baton slides on a longitudinal axis to a compact first position substantially inside the housing, and an extended second position out from the housing;
- and
- the handle unit comprising a handle and a flashlight mechanism opposite the extendable baton, wherein the handle comprises an elongated member extending from the handle unit generally orthogonally to the longitudinal axis, an interior reservoir for containing deterrent spray and a spray valve mechanism for dispensing the deterrent spray, and a flashlight on-off switch electrically connected to the flashlight mechanism, wherein the flashlight on-off switch comprises a member that is slidable to cover the spray valve mechanism when the switch is in an off position.
A combination baton for law enforcement personnel, the combination baton comprising a body and a handle unit, the body comprising:
- a housing and an extendable baton slidably connected to the housing so that the extendable baton slides on a longitudinal axis to a compact first position substantially inside the housing, and an extended second position out from the housing;
- and
- the handle unit comprising a handle and a flashlight mechanism opposite the extendable baton, wherein the handle comprises an elongated member extending from the handle unit generally orthogonally to the longitudinal axis, wherein the handle has an interior space for containing a deterrent spray cannister, and a spray valve mechanism for dispensing the deterrent spray, and a flashlight on-off switch electrically connected to the flashlight mechanism, wherein the flashlight on-off switch comprises a member that is slidable to cover the spray valve mechanism when the switch is in an off position.
