Fluid container

Abstract

A tactical self-defense fluid container includes a bottle body, a cap and a handle. The cap includes handle retainer that connects to the handle. The handle is configured to swing. The cap is weighted to increase inertia when the fluid container is swung even when the bottle body is not substantially filled with liquid. The fluid container may be reliably and repeatedly swung to strike targets with sufficient force to serve as a self-defense device. The device is configured to repeatedly strike a target without the handle, cap, or body from separating from each other.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A fluid container comprising:
 a body;   a cap comprising a handle retainer, wherein the cap is configured to releasably engage with the body; and   a handle attached to the handle retainer;   
       wherein the body, handle, and cap are configured to avoid separating from each other when a user swings the handle and strikes a target with the body. 
     
     
         2 . The fluid container of  claim 1 , wherein the cap is substantially filled with material. 
     
     
         3 . The fluid container of  claim 2 , wherein the material comprises metal. 
     
     
         4 . The fluid container of  claim 2 , wherein the material comprises epoxy. 
     
     
         5 . The fluid container of  claim 2 , wherein the material comprises metal and epoxy. 
     
     
         6 . The fluid container of  claim 2 , wherein the handle retainer comprises an eye loop comprising threads located within the cap, wherein the threads are engaged with the material. 
     
     
         7 . The fluid container of  claim 1 , wherein the handle retainer is configured to withstand a force of between 300-700 N-M before it detaches from the cap. 
     
     
         8 . The fluid container of  claim 1 , wherein the handle retainer is configured to withstand a force of between 6,000 Psi to 10,000 PSI before it detaches from the cap. 
     
     
         9 . The fluid container of  claim 1 , wherein the body and the cap are releasably engaged to withstand a pulling force of between 200-600 Newtons of force before separating from each other. 
     
     
         10 . The fluid container of  claim 1 , wherein the handle comprises a rope. 
     
     
         11 . The fluid container of  claim 10 , wherein the handle further comprises a grip. 
     
     
         12 . The fluid container of  claim 11 , wherein the length of the rope between the handle retainer and the grip is ten to twenty centimeters. 
     
     
         13 . The fluid container of  claim 1 , wherein the length of bottle and the length of the handle are configured to permit a user to strike a target that is located from about 50 to 100 cm away from the user's arm when the user's arm is substantially perpendicular to the target. 
     
     
         14 . A method of manufacturing a fluid container comprising:
 a bottle body and cap are produced from a substantially rigid material;   a hole is introduced into the cap;   metal is inserted into the cap through the hole;   glue is inserted through the hole into the cap;   a handle retainer is inserted into the cap and the glue through the hole in the cap; and   a handle is attached to the handle retainer.   
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the handle retainer comprises
 an eye loop screw comprising an anchoring mechanism.   
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the metal material comprises metal balls. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the glue comprises epoxy. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the bottle body and cap comprise stainless steel. 
     
     
         19 . A method of using a fluid container, comprising:
 a user releasably engages a handle subsystem with a bottle body, wherein the handle subsystem comprises a cap comprising a handle retainer, a rope, and a handle comprising a grip; and   the user grabs the grip and swings the handle so that the bottle body strikes a target.   
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 19 , wherein the fluid container is configured to strike a target at least ten times without the handle subsystem separating from the bottle body.
