The disclosure relates to apparatus, systems and methods for self defense which is easily accessible in times of attack.
Each year many people are the victims of violent attacks. Many of these attacks are perpetrated in such a way that the victim has little time or freedom to defend themselves. There are many self defense devices available on the market, but these devices have limitations. Available self defense devices are often carried in a pocket, purse, or on a key chain which may result in the device being inaccessible if the need for self-defense arises suddenly such as when a person is subjected to a surprise attack. Further, self defense devices that are openly carried by a user may be obvious to an attacker who can then neutralize the device in the attack or may make others around the user uncomfortable if the device is perceived as a weapon. There is a need in the art for a self defense device that is readily accessible to the user but can be carried discretely so as not to be noticed by an attacker or others.
Discussed herein are various embodiments relating to wearable self defense apparatus, systems and methods. One example includes a self defense bracelet for a user, including an ornamental body including at least one defensive protrusion configured to be used to protect the user; and a wearable portion configured to be fitted around the wrist of the user, where the self defense bracelet is configured to be selectively positioned between a wearable position and a defensive position.
Implementations may include one or more of the following features. The self defense bracelet including at least two defensive protrusions further including sharpened points. The self defense bracelet where the ornamental body further includes at least one opening configured to accommodate at least one finger of the user. The self defense bracelet where the at least one opening is substantially heart shaped. The self defense bracelet where the ornamental body further includes a central recession. The self defense bracelet where the ornamental body further includes at least one adjacent recession. The self defense bracelet where the central recession and at least one adjacent recession are configured to accommodate the fingers of the user. In certain aspects, self defense bracelet includes at least two defensive protrusions further including sharpened points. In certain aspects, the ornamental body further includes at least one opening configured to accommodate at least one finger of the user. According to certain aspects, the ornamental body resembles angel wings. According to still further aspects, the ornamental body further includes a central recession. According to certain implementations of the self defense bracelet, the opening is substantially heart shaped. According to certain further implementations of self defense bracelet, the ornamental body is a bow. The self defense bracelet further including a first defensive protrusion including two sharpened points and a second defensive protrusion including two sharpened points. The self defense bracelet where the wearable portion is a strap. The self defense bracelet where the central recession, first adjacent recession and second adjacent recession are configured to accommodate the fingers of the user in the defensive position. The self defense bracelet where the wearable portion is a cuff. The self defense bracelet where the ornamental body is substantially M-shaped.
One example includes a self defense bracelet including an ornamental body including a first end and a second end; at least one defensive protrusion disposed at the second end of the body and configured to be used to protect the user; and a wearable portion disposed at the first end of the body, the wearable portion being configured to be fitted around the wrist of the user, where the self defense bracelet is configured to be selectively positioned between a wearable position and a defensive position.
Implementations may include one or more of the following features. The self defense bracelet including at least two defensive protrusions further including sharpened points. The self defense bracelet where the ornamental body further includes at least one opening configured to accommodate at least one finger of the user. The self defense bracelet where the ornamental body is angel wings. The self defense bracelet where the ornamental body further includes a central recession. The self defense bracelet where the opening is substantially heart shaped. The self defense bracelet where the ornamental body is a bow. The self defense bracelet further including a first defensive protrusion including two sharpened points and a second defensive protrusion including two sharpened points. The self defense bracelet where the wearable portion is a strap. The self defense bracelet where the central recession, first adjacent recession and second adjacent recession are configured to accommodate the fingers of the user in the defensive position. The self defense bracelet where the wearable portion is a cuff. The self defense bracelet where the ornamental body is substantially M-shaped.
One example includes a self defense bracelet including: an ornamental body including: a first defensive protrusion including a first sharpened point; a second defensive protrusion including a second sharpened point; a central recession disposed between the first and second defensive protrusions; a first adjacent recession disposed opposite the first defensive protrusion; and a second adjacent recession disposed opposite the second defensive protrusion; and a wearable portion disposed adjacent to the first and second defensive protrusions, where the self defense bracelet is configured to be selectively positioned between a wearable position and a defensive position.
Implementations may include one or more of the following features. The self defense bracelet where the central recession, first adjacent recession and second adjacent recession are configured to accommodate the fingers of the user in the defensive position. The self defense bracelet where the wearable portion is a cuff. The self defense bracelet where the ornamental body is substantially M-shaped.
