Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a self-defense apparatus that uses heat and a flame as a means to protect against a person or animal. This system overcomes the problem of conventional self-defense devices that may blow back onto the user. The apparatus includes a body with an interior cavity that holds a fuel cartridge, which can hold compressed fuel or other components. The fuel cartridge is further engaged with one or more valves. The technical effect of this invention is to provide a more effective and safe self-defense device that prevents the risk of injury or harm to the user.

Problems solved by technology

One of the problems commonly associated with device 101 is limited.
For example, the spray may spread or blow back into the user's face, thereby being less effective and dangerous.

Abstract

A self-defense apparatus includes a body with an interior cavity and a nozzle, the body having a finger holders to create a grip about the body; a compressed fuel cartridge stored within the interior cavity and having a valve associated therewith; a torch to ignite fuel exiting the nozzle; a regulator incorporated into the valve to control fuel flow; and a control switch positioned on an exterior of the body and to active the torch and thereby exert a flame from the nozzle; the self-defense apparatus is activated to exert a flame in a desired direction via the control switch.

Description

BACKGROUND1. Field of the Invention[0001]The present invention relates generally to self-defense devices, and more specifically, to a self-defense apparatus that uses a flame for defense from a person or animal.2. Description of Related Art[0002]Self-defense devices are well known in the art and are effective means to deter an assailant or animal. For example, FIG. 1 depicts a conventional self-defense device 101 having a body 103 configured to hold a spray 105 to be shot through a nozzle 107 via an activation button 109.[0003]One of the problems commonly associated with device 101 is limited. For example, the spray may spread or blow back into the user's face, thereby being less effective and dangerous.[0004]Accordingly, although great strides have been made in the area of self-defense devices, many shortcomings remain.DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS[0005]The novel features believed characteristic of the embodiments of the present application are set forth in the appended claims. Howev...
