( temporary offense for ultimate control against harm ). the invention is a self - contained , personal , protective device which i have developed . the apparatus emits a momentary , electrical charge against an unwanted attacker for personal safety . the entire unit is housed completely inside a modified set of athletic gloves . please refer to fig1 , it shows the schematic layout of the electronics . it also details the transformer ( 8 ) the ac / dc converter ( 9 ) the ground ( 10 ) the battery ( 11 ) the primary power switch ( 12 ) the secondary momentary tact switch ( 13 ) and both contact points ( 14 ). please refer to fig2 , it shows the electrical component &# 39 ; s , the top view of both the cloth ( 1 ) and rubber ( 2 ) gloves . first , the primary power switch ( 12 ) is connected to the secondary momentary tact switch ( 13 ) which is connected to the battery ( 11 ). from there the battery ( 11 ) is connected to the ground ( 10 ) and the transformer ( 8 ) and the ac / dc converter ( 9 ). the two contact points ( 14 ) are located on the thumb ( 15 ) and the middle index finger ( 16 ). the contact points ( 14 ) are connected directly to the transformer ( 8 ). the transformer ( 8 ) is connected to the ac / dc converter ( 9 ). the entire unit is housed inside the velcro pocket ( 7 ) on the back of each cloth glove ( 1 ). the full power comes from three button - cell batteries ( 11 ) also hidden inside the velcro pocket ( 7 ) on the back of each cloth glove ( 1 ). there is a total of four wires and two small metal contact points ( 14 ). the contact points ( 14 ) are located on the tips of the thumb ( 15 ) and the middle index finger ( 16 ) of each cloth glove ( 1 ). a dc / ac converter ( 9 ) in conjunction with the transformer ( 8 ) generates the controlled shock that is released through the contact points ( 14 ) on the thumb ( 15 ) and the middle index finger ( 16 ) coupled with the electrical conductive cloth ( 6 ) on each of the outer part of the cloth gloves ( 1 ). in order to utilize the controlled shock , both metal contact points ( 14 ) must engage and make physical contact with the assailant . at that point the victim applies minimal pressure to the secondary miniature tact momentary switch ( 13 ) inside the rubber glove ( 2 ) on the first index finger ( 17 ) permitting a brief shock to be generated through the two contact points ( 14 ) and the electrical conductive cloth ( 6 ). the sudden electrical emission is not strong enough to kill the attacker . the electrical emission is a sufficient amount of a discharge that is released through the contact points ( 14 ) on the thumb ( 15 ) and the middle index finger ( 16 ) and electrical conductive cloth ( 6 ) to stun the attacker momentarily , allowing the victim to break free and escape . please refer to fig3 , it shows the top view of the glove , the invisible view of the rubber glove ( 2 ) the invisible view of the two metal contact points ( 14 ) that releases and administers the electrical shock against the attacker . the invisible view of the secondary momentary tact switch ( 13 ) which is located on the first index finger ( 17 ). the two metal contact points ( 14 ) are located on the thumb ( 15 ) and the middle index finger ( 16 ) of each cloth glove ( 1 ). the velcro - components pocket ( 7 ) located on the back of each cloth glove ( 1 ) is where the electronics is located . on the tip of each glove &# 39 ; s first index finger ( 17 ) located inside of the rubber glove ( 2 ) is a secondary miniature tact momentary switch ( 13 ). the secondary miniature tact momentary switch ( 13 ) activates the electrical charge and is released through each of the metal contact points ( 14 ). the metal contact points ( 14 ) are located on each of the thumbs ( 15 ) and the middle index fingers ( 16 ) on both cloth gloves ( 1 ). the secondary miniature tact momentary switch ( 13 ) is hidden underneath the first index finger ( 17 ) of each of the rubber ( 2 ) and the cloth glove ( 1 ). the secondary miniature tact momentary switch ( 13 ) instantly activates the electrical defense system when the victim physically engages the unwanted attacker . please refer to fig4 , it shows the special electrical conductive cloth ( 6 ). its purpose is to increase the shock area of the glove in conjunction with the contact points ( 14 ) on the thumb ( 15 ) and the middle index finger ( 16 ) of each cloth glove ( 1 ). please refer to fig5 , it shows an enlarged cross section of the blend of both the cloth ( 1 ) and the rubber glove ( 2 ). the rubber part of the blend , where the hand is seated ( 3 ), prevents the victim from shocking themselves while storing the electronics in a hidden velcro pocket ( 7 ) on the back of each cloth glove ( 1 ). the electrical components , inside of the velcro pocket ( 7 ) generate the charge used to deter the attacker . in addition , fig5 , details the cross section of both the cloth ( 1 ) and the rubber ( 2 ) gloves &# 39 ; unit . the drawing , depicts where the hand ( 3 ) is inserted and firmly seated . the top of the glove is the first cloth layer ( 1 ). immediately below is the second layer glove which is rubber ( 2 ). the middle part of the drawing is where the hand fits ( 3 ). inverting the process , the next layer under the palm of the hand is the bottom side of the second glove which is rubber ( 4 ). in between the cloth ( 1 ) and rubber gloves &# 39 ; section ( 2 ) is one of two wires running along the thumb ( 15 ) and middle index fingers ( 16 ) which is connected to a metal contact point ( 14 ) on the thumb ( 15 ) and the middle index finger ( 16 ). the last part is the bottom of the cloth glove ( 5 ). attached to the cloth glove is a separate piece of electrical conductive cloth ( 6 ) which increases the shock area . attached to the conductive cloth ( 6 ) is one of the two metal - conductive tips ( 14 ). there is a metal contact tip ( 14 ) on the end of each of the thumb ( 15 ) and each middle index finger ( 16 ) of the outer portion of the cloth glove ( 1 ).
the device is a self - contained - defense - system . the entire unit is housed inside a blended set of athletic gloves and emits an electrical charge against an unwanted attacker . it can be utilized by men or women , both young and old , for personal safety . the electrical charge emitted is not strong enough to kill , but the voltage can be increased in order to assist the military and the police .
