Definitions

  • the invention relates to a manually operable defense and defense device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a simple protective measure is a flashlight, with which an attacker can detect early at night and possibly can be identified. Flashlights will be therefore regularly by security bodies, such as police officers, Protection officers, etc., worn.
  • spray cans are known, with irritant gases, for. B. tear gases, Pepper sprays, etc., which are specifically sprayed on an attacker can be. These irritant gases are said to be an attacker rendering it harmless at least for a certain time.
  • the sprayed Irritants usually have an intense effect on the eyes, whereby an attacker's view is significantly impaired. For a sufficiently good effect it is necessary that the spray hits the open eyes.
  • the lighting device and the spray device are permanently attached to one another connected so that the two facilities are not separated and can be used separately if necessary.
  • Flashlights in the usual cylindrical shape are also known, with a lamp head, a cylindrical middle tube part for receiving the batteries and a screw cap at the end.
  • the middle tube part in several pieces Execute and the individual pieces as required via screw connections connect with each other. A defense and defense device is not available here.
  • a one-piece, hand-operated defense and defense device from a light part and a spray part described which is designed from the outset as a finished device. It is a one-piece housing for the lamp as a storage compartment for the batteries and the reflector and intended for a spray can. This one piece The housing contains recesses from the end faces are separated from each other by a fixed partition. Is inevitable so that the battery compartment can only be opened towards the reflector side and from there with Charging batteries. As a result, there is also no known spiral spring here used as a ground connection, as is the case with commercially available flashlights the rule is.
  • the spray can is attached externally Operated slide switch, which is arranged exposed. This requires on the one hand, an elaborate mechanical construction and can careless handling and unwanted triggering of a Carry out spray process, which in the worst case is also against the Defense and defense device carrier can judge.
  • a similar Device is known from document US-A-3 716 170.
  • a defense and defense device is also known [US-A-2 625 764], that as a battery operated lamp, as a revolver for gas cartridges and as Club is usable.
  • the structure is complex and complicated in particular a revolver-like rotatable ring is used.
  • the electrical Earth connection is made here by a spiral spring.
  • the object of the invention is the generic described above Defense and defense device so that with simple Construction and good function handling is improved.
  • a first housing part in the form of a cylindrical Flashlight housing of the light emitters arranged with an end reflector with beam direction in the axial direction, with a light switch on the cylinder surface and with a cylindrical battery compartment.
  • a second housing part is used, which is detachably connected to the first housing part.
  • the second housing part has a holder for receiving and Attachment of a coil spring as compression spring and earth connection on.
  • the second part of the housing also contains the aerosol can compartment for inserting a spray can.
  • Are on the spray can compartment provided at least two openings to the outside, wherein a first opening as a spray opening in the area of a the spray nozzle is located.
  • a second opening is intended as an actuation opening for a passage in the area of an actuating element of the spray can.
  • This device is easy and inexpensive to manufacture, the second housing part as an additional part for a commercially available Flashlight can be retrofitted with appropriate adjustment is. Due to the location and arrangement of the controls Practical exclusions. The device can total have the appearance of a flashlight, so that a Attackers have no visual indication of the additional existing Defense spray device received and thus deceived becomes. Associations with a dangerous firearm omitted so that an attacker does not become one from the outset harmful overreaction is challenged.
  • a particularly advantageous embodiment is provided with the features of claim 2 achieved by the second housing part also cylindrical with about the same diameter as that first housing part is formed so that an overall cylindrical Housing is present.
  • the device can be used without a defense case carried and used like a normal flashlight become.
  • a commercially available spray can with defense gas is inserted in the second housing part in the axial direction.
  • the spray opening and / or the actuation opening are in contact the cylinder surface, so that the spray direction and / or the direction of penetration is approximately perpendicular to the housing axis. On the one hand, this makes the spray can easy to use with a penetration through the cylinder surface.
  • the spray opening and the actuation opening arranged approximately opposite on the cylindrical surface and opposite the longitudinal center of the second housing part transferred.
  • the second housing part can either be connected in this way be that the spray opening more at the end of the device or more in the middle of the device. This can depending on the assembly individually to the wish of one person be adjusted.
  • the actuation then takes place accordingly the spray device with one up or one down light beam directed below.
  • the actuation opening is to be dimensioned such that reached comfortably through the spray can with an index finger can be. With this type of location and operation is an accidental triggering of the spray device or to rule out self-spraying.
  • the actuation opening and / or the spray opening may be provided with a sliding cover. This could for example a sliding cover ring for both openings be.
  • the second housing part consists of a tubular part and a Adapter part, the adapter part on the one hand the bracket with the coil spring and the detachable connection to the first Has housing part and on the other hand a detachable connection includes the pipe part.
  • the adapter part is preferred according to claim 8 also cylindrical corresponding to the other housing parts executed.
  • a closure formation on the second housing part accordingly to be provided on the first housing part and also according to claim 10 execute the connections immediately.
  • the cap unscrew the flashlight and the coil spring to take out.
  • the coil spring is then in the adapter part used and this on the flashlight body screwed in place of the cap.
  • the pipe part is then screwed with the spray can inserted and this again through the end cap locked.
  • the pipe part can, depending on the type of desired actuation of the spray device also rotated by 180 ° be screwed on.
  • screw connections claimed in claim 11 are alternatively other known connection techniques, such as quick fasteners, bayonet fasteners, etc., possible.
  • the defense and defense device 1 shown in FIG. 1 consists of a first housing part 2 in the form of a cylindrical flashlight housing with a front Lamp head 3.
  • the first housing part 2 also contains a hollow cylinder cylindrical battery compartment 5 for receiving (not shown) several cylindrical batteries in a row.
  • a known per se electric slide switch 6 for switching the on and off Light emitter arranged.
