Abstract:
1. A stun glove comprising: (A) a glove portion made from a laminate of an inside material and an outside material, the laminate forms a cavity adapted for covering at least a portion of a hand within at least a thumb sleeve; (B) an electronic circuitry when activated by a trigger mechanism generates a pulsed electrical charge to a plurality of electrodes, the electronic circuitry being embedded within the laminate in a manner to expose each said electrode to a glove portion exterior; and (C) the trigger mechanism in a leading edge of a tip of the thumb sleeve, a plastic strip being located within the laminate in a manner that both places the plastic strip between the trigger mechanism and a thumb inserted into thumb sleeve and further imparts an extra rigidity to the laminate; wherein the leading edge location of the trigger mechanism requires the operator to use the thumb to press the plastic strip towards the trigger mechanism to direct the leading edge into a surface to subsequently activate the trigger mechanism to cause an electrical discharge through the plurality of electrodes.
