Abstract:

The personal protection device described herein has a deterrent spray feature, a flashlight, a siren, and a key holder. The personal hand-held protection device comprises a roughly L-shaped main body portion including a hand grip with individually recessed finger rests. A knuckle guard portion attached at two points to the main body portion protects a user's knuckles as the user's fingers grasp the hand grip. A light and spray nozzle are disposed at a first end of said main body portion and aim generally in the same direction so the user can illuminate the area where he is directing deterrent spray or colored dye. Mounted in the main body potion is a siren for emitting a loud noise. Also contained in the main body portion are a battery compartment for storing batteries to energize the light and siren, and a reservoir for storing the deterrent spray or colored dye. Triggers are provided in the hand grip for switching the siren and light on and off, and a thumb-operated trigger pump for spraying deterrent fluid is mounted at a first end of the main body portion on a side opposite from the light and spray nozzle.
