Compact Passive Control Tool

Abstract

A passive control tool may include a ball, a handle having a first end and a second end, the first end affixed to the ball, a weapon trap coupled to the second end of the handle and having ribbing around its circumference, an arm trap adjacent to weapon trap and having a striking base, a hook having a first end and a second end, the first end of the hook coupled to the arm trap, the hook positioned opposite the weapon trap at a width such that the arm trap may be used to trap an appendage of a human subject, and a nerve point nub protruding from the hook that may press directly on the human subject to cause compliance. The passive control tool has an overall length from the ball to the striking base of approximately 16.5 inches and a width of approximately 7.5 inches.

1 . A passive control tool comprising:
 a substantially spherical ball;   a handle having a first end and a second end, the first end affixed to the substantially spherical ball;   a weapon trap having ribbing around its circumference, the weapon trap coupled to the second end of the handle;   an arm trap formed as a crook adjacent to weapon trap and having a striking base;   a hook having a first end and a second end, the first end of the hook coupled to the arm trap, the hook extending from the arm trap in the direction of the handle such that the hook is positioned opposite the weapon trap at a width such that the arm trap can be used to trap an appendage of a human subject; and   a nerve point nub protruding from a top portion and a bottom portion of the hook, wherein the nerve point nub presses directly on the human subject to cause compliance.   
     
     
         2 . The passive control tool of  claim 1  wherein the passive control tool has an overall length from the substantially spherical ball to the striking base of approximately 16.5 inches. 
     
     
         3 . The passive control tool of  claim 1  wherein the passive control tool has a substantially circular cross-section with a diameter of approximately one inch. 
     
     
         4 . The passive control tool of  claim 1  wherein the nerve point nub is approximately 3/16 of an inch in size. 
     
     
         5 . The passive control tool of  claim 1  wherein the passive control tool is constructed from glass-reinforced urethane. 
     
     
         6 . The passive control tool of  claim 1  wherein the passive control tool is constructed from urethane. 
     
     
         7 . The passive control tool of  claim 1  wherein the passive control tool has a width of approximately 7.5 inches. 
     
     
         8 . The passive control tool of  claim 1  wherein the weapon trap is a secondary arm trap. 
     
     
         9 . The passive control tool of  claim 1  wherein the nerve point nub presses directly on the nerves of the human subject when the passive control tool is hooked on the upper arm of the human subject and pressure is applied. 
     
     
         10 . The passive control tool of  claim 1  wherein the nerve point nub presses against the arm of the human subject when the passive control tool is hooked on the upper portion of the human subject's arm between the elbow and shoulder and torque pressure is applied. 
     
     
         11 . The passive control tool of  claim 1  wherein the nerve point nub presses directly onto the human subject's shinbone when the passive control tool is hooked on the lower portion of the human subject's leg. 
     
     
         12 . The passive control tool of  claim 1  wherein the passive control tool is collapsible. 
     
     
         13 . A compact passive control tool comprising:
 a substantially spherical ball;   a handle having a first end and a second end, the first end affixed to the substantially spherical ball;   a weapon trap having ribbing around its circumference, the weapon trap coupled to the second end of the handle;   an arm trap formed as a crook adjacent to weapon trap and having a striking base;   a hook having a first end and a second end, the first end of the hook coupled to the arm trap, the hook extending from the arm trap in the direction of the handle such that the hook is positioned opposite the weapon trap at a width such that the arm trap can be used to trap an appendage of a human subject; and   a nerve point nub protruding from a top portion and a bottom portion of the hook, wherein the nerve point nub presses directly on the human subject to cause compliance,   wherein the passive control tool has an overall length from the substantially spherical ball to the striking base of approximately 16.5 inches and a width of approximately 7.5 inches.   
     
     
         14 . The compact passive control tool of  claim 13  wherein the passive control tool is collapsible. 
     
     
         15 . The compact passive control tool of  claim 13  wherein the nerve point nub is approximately 3/16 of an inch in size. 
     
     
         16 . The compact passive control tool of  claim 13  wherein the nerve point nub presses directly on the nerves of the human subject when the passive control tool is hooked on the upper arm of the human subject and pressure is applied. 
     
     
         17 . The compact passive control tool of  claim 13  wherein the nerve point nub presses against the arm of the human subject when the passive control tool is hooked on the upper portion of the human subject's arm between the elbow and shoulder and torque pressure is applied. 
     
     
         18 . The compact passive control tool of  claim 13  wherein the nerve point nub presses directly onto the human subject's shinbone when the passive control tool is hooked on the lower portion of the human subject's leg.
