Embodiment Construction

[0014]Turning now to the drawings in more detail, numeral 10 designates a portable container or canister for retaining a pre-determined quantity of the capsaicin-containing agent according to this invention. In one aspect of the invention, the canister 10 is a spray-dispensing device capable of emitting a fine mist of capsaicin-containing product admixed with a marking agent, for instance glitter powder. The canister 10 can be a pump or an aerosol-spraying device.

[0015]The canister 10 comprises a rigid hollow cylindrical body 12 with a closed bottom 14 and an open top end 16. A depressible pump head 18 is titled in the top open end 16. The pump head 18 is in fluid communication with the interior of the canister body 12, where a quantity of the irritant agent is stored. A dip tube (not shown) extends inside the container body 12. The liquid irritant-containing agent is drawn up through the dip tube for dispensing from the container 10.

[0016]An upper part 20 of the canister 10 is prov...

Abstract

A device and method for executing self-defense using non-lethal form of weaponry provides for the use of capsaicinoids-containing repellant admixed with a solid marking agent. The marking agent contains material not soluble in water. The marking agent can be glitter particles having particle size of between 50 microns and 3000 microns. A canister containing pepper spray and the glitter particles can be carried by law enforcement personnel or civilians. Once the repellant agent is dispensed it deposits on the skin and clothing of a suspect, making it easier to identify the suspect.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to personal defense devices, and, more particularly, to an apparatus for providing law enforcement and private citizens with a single device that integrates law enforcement tools and mechanisms for the application of capsaicinoids.[0002]Capsaicinoids are a group of natural inflammatory products that are isolated from the dried fruits of chili peppers (e.g., Capsicum frutescens) via extraction such as with an organic solvent. Capsaicinoids are lachrymatory agents (chemical compounds that can irritate the eyes to cause tears, pain, and even temporary blindness). The crude extract of peppers is called Oleoresin Capsicum (“OC”) and contains a variety of chemicals including significant quantities of the capsaicinoids.[0003]OC and capsaicinoids are used as active components for the production of self-defense articles known as non-lethal pepper spray products used by law enforcement and civilians. The capsaicin-containing produ...
