Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a gripping type self-defending tool which is small in size and convenient to carry about for enabling even a woman, an old man or like other feeble person to defend one self against a ruffian.
  • a feeble person such as a woman or an old man is attacked by a ruffian, for example, in a park or in a dark place, she (or he) often suffers from damages being incapable of taking any effective counterattack. It may be considered for such a feeble person to always possess a self-defending tool against such a case.
  • a police baton carried by a policeman or guardsman has including a simply straight club and, in addition, a so-called police baton with crosshandle. The latter has a crosshandle branched in perpendicular from the baton main body at a position displaced longitudinally from the center to one end of the baton main body.
  • a user of the police baton grips the crosshandle by one hand with the little finger being positioned on the side near the baton main body and strikes or thrusts an opponent, for example, by rotating the baton main body around the axis of the crosshandle, suddenly stopping the rotation, or projecting the baton main body along its axial direction. If the user gets accustomed to such maneuvers, the police baton with crosshandle can be used in various way such as quick motion, high speed rotation, sudden starting or stopping, or jabbing from out of the opponent's view which is difficult to be foreseen and, accordingly, it is considered more effective than a simply straight baton.
  • the police baton it needs a highly skilled technique to use the police baton in such a way and it is generally difficult. Further, the police baton can not be carried about by putting it into a handbag or pocket and, accordingly, it is not suitable to always being carried about by persons in general.
  • the present invention has been achieved taking notice on such a problem in the prior art and an object thereof is to provide a self-defending tool, which can be used by any one with no particular skills for the handling as in the case of the police baton, which is small in size and convenient to carry about and which, in particular, can expert a powerful impact on an opponent even when the defending tool is used by a woman, an old man or like other feeble person.
  • a gripping type self-defending tool comprising a grip main body of a length suitable to gripping by one hand and a protrusion markedly protruding from the grip main body.
  • the self-defending tool of the present invention has such a size as can be gripped within the palm of a hand, it can be always carried about being put into a handbag or pocket.
  • a user can grip the grip main body in a palm and give an opponent a surprise attack such as "enforcing”, “thrusting”, “swinging up or down”, “striking” or the like by a protrusion of the grip main body that protrudes in front of or on the right and left of a knuckle, thereby exerting the opponent a powerful impact.
  • a grip main body 1 has anti-slip grooves 2 formed at the upper surface 1a thereof.
  • the anti-slip grooves 2 comprise a groove 2A which is disposed at a position localized toward one end of the grip main body 1 and on which a forefinger is to be positioned, and three grooves 2B, 2C and 2D which are disposed continuously from a position somewhat remote from the groove 2A toward the other end, each separated by means of a small protrusion 3, and on which a middle finger, a third finger and a little finger are to be positioned, respectively.
  • a protrusion 4 that protrudes markedly as compared with small protrusions 3, from the grip main body 1 toward the orthogonal direction.
  • the base portion of the protrusion 4 is constricted to be put between the forefinger and the middle finger.
  • the grip main body 1 also has protrusions 5 and 6 protruding markedly from both axial ends in the axial direction respectively.
  • the gripping type self-defending tool having the constitution as described above is made so compact as to be held within a palm and can be carried about easily being put into a handbag or a pocket. Upon use, it is gripped by positioning fingers on the anti-slip grooves 2 of the grip main body 1. Basically, it is preferably gripped by positioning the forefinger on the groove 2A, the middle finger on the groove 2B, the third finger on the groove 2C and the little finger on the groove 2D.
  • the protrusion 4 protrudes between the forefinger and the middle finger of a knuckle, as well as the protrusion 5 protrudes on the side of the thumb and the protrusion 6 protrudes on the side of the little finger of the knuckle respectively. It may be gripped either by a right or left hand. In this way, the grip main body 1 is concealed by a gripping hand and is less recognizable by an opponent.
  • the user can thrust or enforce the knuckle of the gripping hand straight forward to the opponent, whereby the force is concentrated to the top end of the protrusion 4 of a small area and can give the opponent a surprise attack with a powerful impact.
  • the user can swing down a vertically positioned knuckle of a hand gripping the gripping type self-defending tool thereby striking, for example, the opponent's hand or foot by the protrusion 6 on the side of the little finger, on the contrary, striking upward the vertically positioned knuckle from below thereby striking, for example, an opponent's jaw by the protrusion 5 on the side of the thumb, or can swing the tool horizontally thereby attacking the opponent's side, etc. to give a strong impact.
  • the tool also has a merit that it is applied for so-called finger pressure therapy by pressing it to a stiffened part of a body when a user becomes wearied.
  • Fig. 3 shows a second embodiment of the present invention.
  • a grip main body 1 is made hollow, in which a weight 8 comprising a plurality of metal particles are contained.
  • the hollow portion 7 is opened at one end to which a female thread is formed for screw-coupling with a protrusion 5 having a male thread 5a.
  • the function and the operation of the second embodiment are fundamentally identical with those of the first embodiment, and it has a merit in that the impact force upon striking or thrusting can be made more powerful being combined with the inertia caused by the weight 8 disposed in the hollow portion 7.
  • Fig. 4 shows a third embodiment according to the present invention.
  • This embodiment is different from each of the embodiments described above in that a guard 10 surrounding anti-slip grooves 2 is disposed to a grip main body 1.
  • the guard 10 is protruded from the upper portion of the grip main body 1, and the top end of a protrusion 4 is markedly protruded further above the guard 10.
  • the guard 10 in this embodiment comprises a guard 10a that surrounds a groove 2A for protecting the forefinger, and a guard 10b that surrounds grooves 2B, 2C and 2D in common for protecting the middle finger, the third finger and the little finger.
  • a support stud 3A supports the guard 10A, and the protrusion 4 is supported on the support stud 3A.
  • Fig. 5 shows a modification of the third embodiment, in which guards 10a, 10c, 10d and 10e individually surrounding grooves 2A, 2B, 2C and 2D are supported by support studs 3A, 3B and 3C respectively. This can provide a more effective guard than the guard 10b for surrounding the grooves 2B, 2C and 2D in common shown in Fig. 4.
  • Fig. 6 through Fig. 8 show a fourth embodiment according to the present invention.
  • the grip main body 1A is made of plastic or metal material and the sides of the body portion thereof are made flat. The flat body portion was cut out at several positions to form holes 11 thereby reducing the weight of the tool.
  • a grip member 12 made of plastic or wood with anti-slip knurling is engaged on each of right and left sides of the body portion of the grip main body 1A and attached by means of screws. 13 represents a screw insertion hole.

  • a grip member 12A is not separated into two right and left components but formed as a one piece member having a groove 14 to which the flat body of the grip main body 1A is fit.
  • the grip member is attached by fitting the grip main body 1A into the groove 14 and setting it with screws.
  • the operation and the advantageous effect of this embodiment are the same as those in the fourth embodiment.
  • FIG. 12 through Fig. 14 shows a further modification of the fourth embodiment.
  • a grip member 12B is of the same type as the above-mentioned modification having a groove 14 for fitting the grip main body 1A, excepting that anti-slip protrusions 15 are formed on both ends of the grip. Since the grip member 12B is attached, the gripping hand can be prevented from slipping by the anti-slip protrusions 15, in particular, when the user strikes an opponent by using the protrusion 5 on the side of the thumb or the protrusion 6 on the side of the little finger of the gripping hand, so that more powerful impact can be applied to the opponent.
  • Fig. 15 through Fig. 18 illustrates a fifth embodiment according to the present invention.
  • a protrusion 4 is made foldable. That is, a protrusion containing recess 17 is formed to a grip main body 1 and opens at the upper surface of the main body.

  • a torsion coil spring 27 (hereinafter referred to as a spring) is mounted to the shaft 20 for resiliently turning up the protrusion 4, and the spring 27 abuts at one end to the bottom face of the protrusion containing recess 17 and is urged at the other end to the side of the protrusion 4. Further, a leaf spring 28 is attached by means of a small screw 29 in the recess 24 on the side of the grip main body 1 for resiliently urging the end face of the lock 21 of the shaft 20.
  • the protrusion 4 When the gripping type self-defending tool of this embodiment is to be carried about, the protrusion 4 is folded and contained within the protrusion containing recess 17 of the grip main body 1. Upon use, the protrusion 4 is turned upward as shown below. (1) The lock release switch 23 is enforced into the recess 26 against the resiliency of the leaf spring 28. (2) Then, since the engagement between the square lock 21 of the shaft 20 and the square recess 19 of the protrusion 4 is released, the protrusion 4 is turned upward by the resiliency of the spring 27.
  • the protrusion 4 can be restored by turning it downward by a hand in a state where the lock release switch 23 is enforced into the protrusion containing recess 17 against the resiliency of the spring 27.
