Electrical shock defensive walking stick

Abstract

An electrically charged stinger is contained within a walking stick, staff, cane, or hand stick. The charged stinger is selectively extended to use as a defensive device to shock attackers or wild animals. A trigger device releases the stinger that is charged by a rechargeable battery. A voltage amplification system with a control knob adjusts the intensity of the electrical charge.

1 . A combination ambulatory assistance and electrical shock defensive device comprising in combination:
 an elongated ambulatory assist shaft comprising a rigid body having a top hand grip, a hollow interior space along at least a portion of the length thereof, a bottom ground contacting portion, and a lower exterior opening communicating with the hollow interior space;   a stinger operatively connected to the rigid body within the hollow interior space and selectively extending from the rigid body through the lower exterior opening;   circuitry operatively connected to the stinger;   a trigger operatively connected to the rigid body, the circuitry, and the stinger, the trigger selectively extending and operating the stinger, the circuitry providing an electrical charge to the stinger to create an electrical shock to a would be aggressor to disable the aggressor to defend the user;   a power source attached to the rigid body for providing the power to the circuitry and the stinger.   
   
   
       2 . The combination device of  claim 1  wherein the circuitry is adjustable to create a desired level of electrical charge in the stinger so that the stinger can provide an electrical shock to produce a result ranging from causing a slight jolt to causing temporary paralysis and unconsciousness. 
   
   
       3 . The combination device of  claim 1  wherein the stinger further comprises at least one spring between the stinger and the rigid body for forcing the stinger out of the rigid body, the circuitry releasing a stop so that the spring springs the stinger out of the rigid body. 
   
   
       4 . The combination device of  claim 1  wherein the power source comprises at least one electrically amplified rechargeable battery. 
   
   
       5 . The combination device of  claim 1  wherein the stinger is extended at least two feet out of the rigid body. 
   
   
       6 . The combination device of  claim 1  further comprising a wrist strap attached adjacent to the hand grasping portion to cinch up tight around a wrist of a user to keep people from pulling the device from a hand of the user. That is another thing that I thought of to keep it in possession of a person holding it and using it. 
   
   
       7 . The combination device of  claim 6  wherein the strap comprises an inner core sufficiently strong that it could only be cut with wire cutters and an outer covering of pliable leather like material. 
   
   
       8 . The combination device of  claim 1  further comprising a location finding chip attached within the interior hollow space to find the device if it is forgotten, lost, or stolen. 
   
   
       9 . The combination device of  claim 1  further comprising a warning light that indicates when the battery needs to be charged up and when there is a full charge in the battery. 
   
   
       10 . The combination device of  claim 1  further comprising means for adjusting the power of the electrical charge to increase and decrease the shock level.
