Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hand-operated defense device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a simple protective measure is a flashlight with which a Attackers identified early at night and possibly identified can be. Flashlights are therefore regularly used by security bodies, such as police officers, security guards, etc. A flashlight however, only serves to identify and, if necessary, identify the attacker, it is not intended to render the attacker harmless.
  • Spray cans are known for temporary immobilization, however, which with irritant gases such.
  • B. filled with tear gases or pepper sprays are. These irritant gases can be sprayed specifically onto an attacker. The sprayed irritants mostly have an intense effect on the eyes, which means an attacker's view is significantly impaired.
  • Such irritant gases are weapon license free and can be used by private individuals without any problems can be purchased in stores.
  • a spray device is combined with a flashlight.
  • a defense device which is a manually operable Spray device for spraying a defense spray.
  • the spray device consists of a spray device housing with a lockable spray can compartment to hold a spray can, with a spray opening for the exit of the defense and defense spray the sprayer housing and with an actuation opening for actuation the spray can in the spray can compartment by hand.
  • a dry battery and / or a rechargeable battery powered flashlight connectable which is a flashlight housing with reflector and lamp, with a lockable battery compartment for battery storage as well as with a manually operated actuator for switching on and off of the flashlight.
  • the flashlight housing and sprayer housing are here each cylindrical and on the opposite of the front reflector End of the flashlight housing via an adapter piece screwed together.
  • the first step is to do this unscrew the cap of the flashlight, taking the ground spring is removed from the cover cap.
  • the adapter element on the flashlight using the Ground spring screwed on then in a third step the spray device is screwed onto the adapter element, the Cover cap of the flashlight on the free end of the spray device is screwed on.
  • Such a structure is due to the screw connection between the Flashlight and the spray device only for such flashlights suitable that have a corresponding counter thread.
  • the defense device also has an elongated structure and therefore requires one relatively large storage space.
  • US Pat. No. 5,086,377 which is also a, has a similar structure hand-operated defense device shows.
  • This defense device is is not an upgradable flashlight, but an independent one Device with integrated light and spray device, which by means of an external Slide switch is operated.
  • the device is equipped with a double-sided clip, the one with a clip element on the flashlight housing and the other Clip element is clampable on the bicycle frame.
  • This device is total complex and complex made up of a large number of parts and has a large longitudinal extension, so that it is difficult to stow away is.
  • Another similar device with integrated light and spray device in a key box is known from EP 0 077 945 A1.
  • DE 94 09 133 U1 discloses a firing device for a tear gas or snap shot cartridge on a flashlight. At The above devices are the relative position between the lamp and Defense means cannot be changed.
  • the object of the invention is therefore a hand-operated defense and defense device to create that is easy to use and store, one allows individual handling as well as simple and inexpensive Can be manufactured using a conventional flashlight is.
  • connection between the flashlight and the Spray device formed by an articulated connection, which consists of a sprayer-fixed joint part and a clamping connection to releasable clamping trained on the cylindrical flashlight housing Joint part is constructed and thus both parts relative to each other pivotable in its plane of action and in different angular positions can be determined.
  • the articulated connection also makes it more individual to use of the defense device possible, since the operator the light beam and Adjust the spray jet relative to each other depending on the situation and requirements and can adjust.
  • an operator can provide a particularly effective defense option against an attacker the direction of the light beam and the spray direction set differently.
  • An approaching attacker is then first illuminated with a beam of light in its face. Through this blinding with the light beam, the attacker closes automatically the eyes, at the same time pivoting the device so that the spraying device is in the spraying position. Because right now the attacker is no longer dazzling, his eyes become automatically unlock far to grasp the changed situation for him. The effect of what is now acting on the wide open eyes Irritant gas from the spray jet is therefore extremely effective here. Thereby the attacker can be temporarily disabled.
  • the articulation is a rotary and locking articulation trained, which has locking troughs and locking lugs.
  • the rotatability the flashlight and the spray device takes place relative to each other in parallel swivel planes, which makes a short and compact Structure of the defense device results.
  • a rotary and locking joint connection can be a safe and quick way Establish snap-in connection in the selected twist positions.
  • the clamp connection includes an elastic clip two elastically expandable clip legs, between which the cylindrical Flashlight housing is releasably clamped, making it easy and inexpensive way a secure and releasable jamming of the flashlight housing is possible. It is useful according to claim 5 graded clip sizes provided.

  • a rod-shaped, preferably cylindrical Sprayer housing is beneficial for an ergonomic convenient grasping of the defense and defense device.
  • thumb ready for spray actuation in the area of the actuation opening positioned while the remaining fingers of the hand for good and safe operability of the defense and defense device the spraying device can reach around without being hindered by the flashlight housing to become. This makes handling considerably easier, which in particular is essential in the event of an attack.
  • the bracket according to claim 7 a U shape with a U base that is approximately parallel to the outer wall of the Sprayer housing preferably extends over the length of the housing.
  • the U-legs of the bracket are each on the end of the sprayer housing definable.
  • a screw cap can be screwed on at the end for closing.
  • the U-leg ends of the bracket are at the ends between the cover caps and the end faces of the sprayer housing can be firmly clamped.
  • the elastically spreadable clip legs preferably protrude according to claim 9 approximately vertically and preferably in the middle of one of the sprayer housing away ironing surface away. Thereby lie Longitudinal axes of a cylindrical flashlight housing and a cylindrical Sprayer housing in parallel swivel planes.
  • the spray opening and the actuation opening are approximately opposite arranged on the cylindrical surface of the sprayer housing and preferably offset from the longitudinal center. With this kind of situation and actuation is an accidental triggering of the spray device or to rule out self-spraying.
  • the opposite of the longitudinal center staggered arrangement also allows the spray device to be embraced with all fingers and is therefore advantageous for safe operation of the defense device.
  • a crossbar connection is provided between the bracket and the sprayer housing wall seen in the longitudinal axis direction in a range between the spray opening and an end face of the spray device housing a crossbar connection is provided.
