This invention concerns the security domain and particularly forearm protecting devices which are used as means of self-defense or as a method of controlling criminals.
A search in the prior art revealed some systems that caught our attention:
U.S. Pat. No. 6,432,513 “PROTECTOR PADS” by Thomsen P. Neils and Byrne P. Joseph issued on Aug. 13, 2002; discloses a device used in sports including an outer protector (11) adapted to at least partially assume the shape of the area to be protected and an inner shock absorbing pad (12) in the form of an air cushioned pad.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,094,743 “DEFLECTOR-ARM PROTECTOR” by Steve Delgado issued on Aug. 1, 2000; discloses an arm protector device to protect athletes by wrapping around the entire arm from the hand to the shoulder. Several humps wrapped in a cushion reduce the impact of blows from spherical objects, used particularly in baseball. The device can be adapted to protect any vulnerable portion of the human body.
U.S. Pat. No. 11,605,972 “ARM PROTECTOR” by D. Shumate and W. Shumate filed on Nov. 22, 2006; discloses an apparatus (10) for protecting against subcutaneous bleeding and skin tears in persons taking medications. An outer portion (18) extend along the forearm, a strap (22) attached to an outer leather portion extends between a thumb and an index finger of such wearer.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,635,300 743 “KARATE GLOVE” by Jhoon Goo Rhees issued on Jan. 13, 1987; a flexible protective glove used in martial arts.
A general objective of this invention is to provide a device for protecting forearms and comprising a covering portion with a surface made from composite materials and provided with sharp-edged points inserted on a shock-absorbent cushion wrapping. The device is light and allows someone who carries it, like an agent of safety or a police officer, to keep his hands free and to control a criminal by a technique of control by a pain. The device goes under clothing and offers a means for covering the ulnar side of a forearm for defense, and the radial side to retain or immobilize a criminal. The device is made in different lengths and each piece can be encase in another piece to cover a part of the forearm or all the forearm from the wrist to the elbow.
In the following description and in the drawings included, the similar numbers refers to identical parts in the various figures.
A lower part of
A combination of wrappings 120 for a limb being protected by defensive rods 128, the combination comprising:
The shock absorbing portion 132 is being made from composite materials such as: resistant plastic, polycarbon or other lightweight material, and is provided with a flat surface 134 adapted to receive an impact from the defensive rod 128.
The shock absorbing portion 132 comprises at its ends 133 means for mutual insertion 138, 140 for continuous wrapping around a limb and is provided with a receiving portion 151 and a bearing distance 153 thereby creating a 90° angle support.
The defensive rods 128 comprise a removal part 129 thereby releasing foot bases 151 with two pillar legs 128 and they are provided with an acute angle 126 for being retained by a reentrant portion 135.
The shock absorbing portion 132 comprises a bottom part 122 with a concavity 124 thereof, the spreading of extension 133 of the shock absorbing portion 132 elongating the concavity 124 and releasing the reentrant portion 135, thereby permitting the securing of the pillar legs 128.
A device comprising an apex sharp-edge point 130 and two defensive legs 127 originating from the apex 130. The device is provided with a shock absorbing portion 132 for being used in combination with means for wrapping a limb and is intended to be used as means of self-defense or for attacking a criminal by applying a pressure using an armed limb. The device being installed inside those means for wrapping. The shock absorbing portion 132 comprises:
The two defensive legs 127 being in metal or other hard material and being defined in a reversed V-shape with a thickness delimited by two sides 146, 148 and a removal part 129 between the two legs, a sharp-edged point 130 defining the junction between the two legs 127.
It is to be clearly understood that the instant description with reference to the annexed drawing is made in an indicative manner and that the preferred embodiments described herein are meant in no way to limit further embodiments realizable within the scope of the invention. The matter which is claimed as being inventive and new is limited only by the following claims.
