Abstract

Effective self defense shouldn't put you nor others in danger the way bullets fired from guns do. By carrying one or more polybags of glass marbles in one's pockets, it is possible to throw such hard enough to injure an attacker by the force of the impact, plus deliver a red-pepper-laced, viscous detergent to their face, when the thin-wall polybag ruptures. The dozens of marbles and the slippery detergent that leak out, make it difficult for the attacker to stand up, thus limiting their ability to harm others.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . For highest utility, the present glass marble bags are proportioned to fit easily into a pocket, and to conform well to the thrower's hand so that such can be tossed at an attacker with a force high enough to cause the attacker pain, while at the same time, rupturing the thin-wall polybags and releasing dozens of not just difficult-to-stand-on marbles around the attacker's feet, but splashing-out the red-pepper-laced, viscous detergent into their eyes, nose and mouth, and on their skin, and also being slippery enough, by itself, to help assure that the attacker can't easily stand up, thus, essentially, incapacitating the attacker. 
     
     
         2 . Glass marble bags, as in  claim 1 , that are transported inside of an open-top, thicker and tougher plastic outer bag that serves to protect the user and his clothes in the event a thin wall glass marble bag ruptures. 
     
     
         3 . Glass marble bags, as in  claim 1 , that can be thrown near the attacker's feet as when the distance of the throw is too far to be sure of hitting the attacker directly, and having the added advantage that because of the compact shape of the bags, one person can easily carry three or four such bags in their pockets, thus getting more than one try at hitting an attacker(s) directly.
