A system for deterring an attack and adding with identification and apprehension of an attacker is disclosed. A vessel containing materials capable of leaving stain, odor, or other markings on the attacker and the victim are employed. Comparison of the materials found on the victim and on the attacker will help establish the connection between the two and aid in the positive identification of the attacker. The system further provides for an audio and light alarm as additional ways for the victim to discourage the attacker. Also included is a tool that will aid the victim in escaping from the attacker&#39;s car or other surroundings.

Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION  
         [0001]    1. Field of the Invention  
           [0002]    The invention relates generally to the area of security systems and more specifically and importantly to protecting individuals from potential and actual attackers and abductors. In particular, the invention is a device that discourages an attacker from assaulting his victim, and, in case he does, the invention will assist with identification and apprehension of the attacker.  
           [0003]    The invention is particularly useful in preventing child abduction, assault, rape and similar crimes. According to the Gallup Poll, over 1.3 million children were sexually assaulted in 1995, almost 50% of all rape victims are under age of 18, 29% are 12-17 years of age and 15% are under age of 12. The U.S. Justice Department estimates that nearly {fraction (2/3)}rds of all sex offenders in state prison are there for raping children. The device of this invention could drastically reduce these numbers.  
           [0004]    2. Prior Art Situation  
           [0005]    Most commonly, one&#39;s defense against an attack has included such items as knives, guns and MACE canisters. While guns usually require permits and training, MACE canisters are bulky and need to be carried in a bag and are therefore not within an easy reach of the victim in case of a surprise attack. As a way of overcoming these deficiencies a number of personal security devices have been invented.  
           [0006]    U.S. Pat. No. 6,2811,800 discloses a personal security backpack that emits an audio alarm for attracting attention to a crime scene. The unit is stored and concealed in a separate section of the backpack with a power switch installed on the shoulder strap. While this device can serve its intended purpose, an attacker can easily disable the power switch and the victim is left unprotected.  
           [0007]    U.S. Pat. No. 4,511,062 utilizes bulky canisters of pressurized gas that need to be carried in a bag or a holster as a way to discourage an attacker. This device requires accurate aiming by the victim at the time the victim may not be in a state of collectedness sufficient to properly operate and aim the device. Moreover, the invention uses tear gas as primary means of defense. While an adult person may be able handle this device safely, a typical child is more likely to cause an injury to itself or others.  
           [0008]    U.S. Pat. No. 4,241,850 utilizes a complicated canister with extensive valving arrangement and fluid stored therein. The device careful requires aiming and operation by the user and as such is not very useful in surprise attack situations.  
           [0009]    For the reason stated above there is a need for a personal security device that is effective, easy to use under any circumstances and very cost effective. The invention describe herein meets that requirement.  
         SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION  
         [0010]    The objects and advantages of the invention are achieved by the present invention that comprises a device capable of deterring an attacker and providing an aid in the identification and apprehension process. A simple device, frequently resembling a piece of jewelry and containing materials capable of marking the victim and the attacker is worn by the victim. Once attacked, the victim punctures the device and spreads the identifying materials on himself and the attacker or the device breaks open in the course of the struggle. Comparison of the materials found on the victim and on the attacker will help establish the connection between the two and aid in the positive identification of the attacker. Presence of the identifying materials, some of which have strong odor or leave permanent stain, will likely cause the attacker to change his mind and abandon the victim rather than risk being caught.  
           [0011]    Alternatively, in addition to the identifying materials, the device further includes numerous miniature mechanical devices that are capable of collecting tissue, skin, body fluid, bone or hair samples of the attacker and the victim by employing an abrasive surface or a cutting blade. In the course of the struggle the miniature devices are forced between the attacker&#39;s and the victim&#39;s skin. The pressure exerted upon the miniature devices causes them to cut into the attackers and the victim&#39;s tissue. The removed tissue is then stored in storage chamber of the device. The struggle itself combined with the pain from the cutting tools may cause the attacker to cease his aggression. Subsequently, the stored samples are analyzed and provide further aid in identifying the attacker.  
           [0012]    Another approach disclosed includes a device that in addition to the identifying materials comprises an audio source. Upon opening the enclosure containing the audio source the materials contained therein are spread as already described. The audio source is activated and varying pre-recorded calls for help are heard. This should discourage the attacker and alert those in the vicinity to come to the victim&#39;s aid. Similarly, a device with light source contained therein may also alarm the attacker and cause him to cease his aggression.  
           [0013]    To address the post abduction issues a different device has been designed. It comprises a combination of a light source and a cutting tool. The light source would help the victim who is in a dark space, such as a car trunk, see his way towards utilizing the cutting tool to cut through trunk latch device and escape. A combination of all these aids in the same device is also possible and would substantially improve the victim&#39;s chances of escaping the attacker during the attack or afterwards.  
         OBJECTS AND ADVANTAGES OF THE INVENTION  
         [0014]    In view of the above, it is an object of the present invention to provide a device that will deter an attacker and aid in his identification and apprehension.  
           [0015]    A further object of the invention is to provide a device that contains materials necessary for the attacker&#39;s identification and apprehension.  
           [0016]    It is another object of the present invention to enable application of such materials to the attacker&#39;s and the victim&#39;s persons.  
           [0017]    Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a temporary or permanent identifying mark on the attacker&#39;s person.  
           [0018]    Still a further object of the present invention is to provide a device for collecting samples of the attacker&#39;s tissue, skin, body fluids, hair or bone materials that would aid in his identification and apprehension.  
           [0019]    It is another object of the present invention to enable the victim to employ an audio source with a help-seeking pre-recorded message and contemporaneously apply identifying chemicals to the attacker.  
           [0020]    A further object of the present invention is to provide a victim with a light source to aid in deterring the attacker and a tool to aid the victim&#39;s escape.  
           [0021]    Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a victim with the tissue, skin, body fluid bone and hair samplers in combination with light source to aid in deterring the attacker and a tool to aid the victim&#39;s escape.  
           [0022]    Still a further object of the present invention that the device be easy to manufacture and be low in cost.  
           [0023]    These and other objects and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent after considering the ensuing description and the accompanying drawings.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION  
       [0070]    In the most basic embodiment the crime prevention system employees a vessel that houses evidence material to be released from the vessel that is applied or spreads to the attacker and the victim or serve as a vessel leak indicating materials. Spreading of the evidence materials onto the attacker&#39;s person may be sufficient to deter him from further aggression. Alternatively, the evidence materials remaining on the attacker and the victim can be analyzed and compared to each other in order to identify the attacker. The following list of evidence materials apply to all of the embodiments of this invention wherever evidence materials are employed, individually or in combination and may be in form of foam, granules, fluid, solid, powder, gas, semi-solid or combination thereof, clear or opaque, odor producing or odorless, and similar or dissimilar materials may be employed in the same application. Similarly, any reference to a vessel means a container manufactured from any natural or man made materials including plastic, metal, steel, ceramic, stone, aluminum, wood, glass, paper, rubber, crystal, foil, fiberglass, absorbent materials, any tissue abrading material, combination of materials, and others, and it may be opaque or translucent, and of shape suitable to contain the evidence material employed and it may come with or without a warning lettering or a warning label on it. If a warning is employed it may come in form of “Stop”, Poison, Electrical Hazard or an equivalent symbol, Skull and Bones symbol or a highly reflective surface. Likewise, specific embodiments so identified and discussed herein, may be utilized with or without the evidence material, however the presence of evidence material is preferable as it may serve as a better deterrent and would aid in capture of the attacker.  
         [0071]    Evidence materials: particles, foam, granules, solid, liquid, powder, gas, or semi-solid of: commercially available disappearing ink such as thymophthalein and ethanol mixture, iodine, perylene, anthracene, ink, sponge, scouring pad, absorbent materials, foam as produced by dishwashing soap, pine tar, orange chalk powder, bromine gas, aloe, commercially available jelly, mineral oil, odor producing materials: lemon oiled water, coffee oil, coconut oil, pineapple extract, automotive oil, alcohol, base, oil, automotive oil, grease, automotive grease, epoxy, glue, silicon cement, peppermint oil, spearmint oil; particles held under pressure, water, sprit glum, mixture of heterocyclic compound lumino and hydrogen peroxide, an inert material, scouring pad material, lemon oiled water, water with fish-line segments or similar materials: metallic, ceramic, plastic, glass or wood; dishwashing soap, commercially available waterless hand cleaners, steel wool, scotch-brite, fiber optic segments, foam, phosphorus, silicon glue, glitter particles same in size and shape or combination of sizes and shapes, segments of wire, segments of material with unique patterns created therein, string, radioactive material, polonium, sprit glum adhesive, silicon glue, epoxy resin formed by polymerization of bisphenol and epichlorohydrin, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), small pocks virus, urushiol, functional semiconductor devices doped with phosphorus and conductors attached thereto, henna, poison oak, metallic mesh wire, plastic mesh, poison ivy, alcohol, base, dry blood or blood encased in a container, bromine gas, water and cesium that burst upon mixing, mercury, cyanide, mix of pentobarbital and sodium pentothal, epoxy resin, epoxy resin formed by polymerization of bisphenol A and epichlorohydrin of varying compositional ratios, perylene that produces fluorescing blue color when exposed to black light, anthracene that produces fluorescing ultra-violet color when exposed to black light, oleoresin capsium (tear gas), and acid.  
         [0072]    Light Sources: phosporus, mix of hydrogen peroxide and heterocyclic compound lumino or commercially available light sources such as a light stick, a compound containing 4 grams sodium carbonate, 0.2 grams luminol, 0.5 grams ammonium carbonate and 0.4 grams of copper pentahydrate and 1 liter of water when mixed with 50 milliliters of 3% hydrogen peroxide and 1 liter of water.  
         [0073]    All materials may be utilized in form of solid, gas, semi-solid, powder, particles, foam, granules, liquid, gas or whatever form they are most readily available in. A manufacturer of evidence material may alter the formulations so as to insert specific markers that are non-reactive with evidence material and that would aid in capturing the attacker. Similarly, the material also includes manufacturers device registration procedure providing for maintenance of a permanent history of each device manufactured and the traceability to the ultimate purchaser. In case of materials that leave permanent stain the material can be removed only by a remover manufactured by proprietary process under the control of the device manufacturer.  
         [0074]    Moreover, to aid in capture, a sample of evidence material identical to the one employed by the victim would be retained by those acquainted with the victim, e.g., in case of a child, the parents would keep the identical vessel at home. Comparing the evidence material found on or in vicinity of the suspect or where the attack took place to that retained by the others would aid in identifying the actual attacker.  
         [0075]    [0075]FIG. 1 shows a vessel  10  in form of a capsule that has sections  12  and  13  connected together to form the vessel  10  and the evidence material  14  enclosed therein. Separating parts  12  and  13  releases material  14 . Evidence material  14  is then applied by the victim to itself and the attacker and can also be spread just in the course of the struggle.  
         [0076]    An alternative to the embodiment of FIG. 1 is shown in FIG. 2 where vessel  20  has evidence material  24  held inside band  22 . Breaking band  22  releases material  24  that is then spread to the victim and the attacker. Band  22  can be a ring, a wrist band or any object suitable to worn around an arm, finger, wrist, toe, neck of a person, and is typically made of plastic or other easily breakable material.  
         [0077]    [0077]FIG. 2B shows a vessel  26  that has a enclosure  28  and evidence material  29  housed in enclosure  28 . Breaking enclosure  28  releases evidence material  29  that is then spread to the victim and the attacker. Typical enclosure  28  would be a soap bar.  
         [0078]    In FIG. 3, a vessel  30  in form of a bandage includes strips  32  and  34  and central section  36  that is impregnated with evidence material  38 . Peeling apart section  34  exposes evidence material  38  that is then spread to the victim to and the attacker.  
         [0079]    [0079]FIG. 4 shows a multi-chamber vessel  40  that has the first enclosure  41  with the outer wall  42 , leak indicator material  43  contained in enclosure  41 , the second enclosure  44 , first evidence material  47  contained in enclosure  44  and the third enclosure  48  containing second evidence material  49 . Materials  47  and  49  can be the same or different, one can be a stain causing material and the other can be odor producing material. Leak indicating material  43  allows for inspection of the integrity of evidence enclosure  40  and is typically clear liquid. Alternatively, leak indicating material  43  has fish line segments, fiber-optic cable segments or similar materials dispersed within it for the purpose of being deposited on the attacker and deter the attack and aid with the attacker identification process. Leak indicating material  43  may be in solid, semi solid, fluid, powder, water or gas form, opaque or translucent, colored or colorless. Enclosure  41  can be made of paper, glass, rubber, foil, styrofoam, metal or a combination thereof or of any other suitable materials or combinations thereof Enclosure  41  can also be of clear plastic polyethylene terepethathalate, low density polyethylene, high density polyethylene,. or enclosure  41  can be made somewhat opaque by texturing the outer seal  42  of enclosure  41 . Squeezing evidence enclosure  40  causes enclosures  41 ,  44  and  48  to break and release materials  43 ,  47  and  49 . Outer seal  42  of the enclosure  41  can be stronger than seals of the enclosures  44  and  48 . After enclosures  41 ,  44  and  48  are broken the evidence materials  47  and  49  and leak indicating material  43  are spread to the victim and the attacker and aid in deterring the attack and in subsequent identification of the attacker. In one embodiment of the invention, the enclosure  41  contains evidence material, the enclosure  44  contains water and enclosure  48  is empty.  
         [0080]    [0080]FIG. 5 shows vessel  50  that releases its contents after application of pressure. The vessel  50  includes the tube body  51 , tube ends  52  and  53 , the evidence material holder  54  and evidence material  55 . Tube body  51  and evidence material holder  54  are made of any soft material that upon application of force at point  56  will collapse holder  54  and evidence material  55  will flow outwardly, thereby spreading onto the victim and the attacker. Alternatively, holder  54  can be a two chamber unit as shown in FIG. 5B, where  57  is the first chamber and  58  is the second chamber. One chamber can contain water and the other cesium. Applying pressure would break chambers  57  and  58  and the reaction from cesium and water mixture would rapidly propel evidence materials outward.  
         [0081]    Another embodiment of vessel is shown in FIG. 6 where  60  is the puncture actuated evidence enclosure that includes the tube body  61 , closed end  62 , open end  63 , evidence material holder  64 , evidence material  65 , puncture tool  66 , puncture point  67 , finger insertion section  68  and holder  64  support structure  69 . Application of finger A through section  68  at the puncture tool  66  will cause puncture point  67  to penetrate evidence material holder  64  and evidence material  65  will spread outward through end  63  and onto the victim and the attacker. Evidence material holder can be made of any material that is easy to puncture.  
         [0082]    [0082]FIG. 7 is an embodiment of vessel in form of toothpaste tube  70  that includes tube  72 , screw-on neck  76 , cap  74  and evidence material  78 . Material  78  is squeezed out by removing cap  74  and applying pressure to tube  72  and thereby spreading it onto the victim and the attacker.  
         [0083]    A vessel in form of a skin scab, skin mark, birthmark, skin rash or human skin and that can also conceal the evidence material is shown in FIG. 8. Vessel  80  has the outer body  82  and the evidence material holder  84 . If vessel  80  is a skin scab, outer body  82  resembles damaged skin or coagulated blood. If vessel  80  is a skin mark, skin rash, human skin, a birthmark, appearance of body  82  would reflect such appearance. A person skilled in art would easily be able to chose the appropriate appearance.  
         [0084]    Turning now to FIG. 9, the front view of FIG. 8, the vessel  90  further includes protective layer  94  that protects the wearer from attack by the evidence material involved, side walls  92  and top layer  98 . Evidence material  96  is released by removing top layer  98  and material  96  then spreads onto the attacker. Vessel  90  need not include protective layer  94  if evidence materials used are not harmful to human tissue or bone. The protective layer  94  can be re-used by applying adhesive to the side in contact with skin  
         [0085]    [0085]FIG. 10 is a vessel  100  in form of a finger-cot  102  that contains evidence material  104  and slides over finger  106 . Applying pressure to finger-cot  102  or removing finger-cot  102  exposes material  104  and causes it to spread onto the people involved. Finger-cot  102  can be made of any easily breakable material.  
         [0086]    A watch type of a vessel is shown in FIG. 11 as watch  110  that has watch body  112 , watch bands  116  and  118 , evidence material holder  114  and evidence material  113 . Evidence material holder  114  is made of soft material to allow for easy release of material  113  upon application of pressure to holder  114 . Evidence material  113  is then spread to the victim and the attacker.  
         [0087]    [0087]FIG. 12 houses an earring vessel  120  that includes earring body  122 , evidence material holder  124  and evidence material  126 . Application of pressure on holder  124  releases material  126  and spreads it onto the individuals involved. Holder  124  is made of any easily breakable material.  
         [0088]    Another embodiment of a vessel is shown in FIG. 13 as necklace  130  that includes necklace body  132 , clasp  134 , evidence material holder  136  and evidence material  138 . Application of pressure on holder  136  releases material  138  and spreads it onto the individuals involved. Holder  136  is made of any easily breakable material.  
         [0089]    [0089]FIG. 14 shows a wrapper type of a vessel  140  that includes twist off wrapper  142  and evidence material  144  contained therein. Opening wrapper  142  releases material  144  and allows it to be spread onto the victim and the attacker. Similarly, instead of a wrapper, vessel  140  can be a bag, open or re-sealable, made of plastic, paper or similar materials, or vessel  140  may be a bladder.  
         [0090]    In FIG. 15 a vessel is in form of a tie  150  that includes tie body  152 , evidence material holder  154  and evidence material  156 . Application of pressure on holder  154  releases material  156  and spreads it onto the individuals involved. Holder  154  is made of any easily breakable material.  
         [0091]    [0091]FIG. 16 is a vessel shaped as a badge or a broche wherein the badge or a broche  160  includes body  162  evidence material holder  164  and evidence material  166 .

Typically, blades  364 ,  366 ,  368  and  370  and projections  376 ,  377 ,  378  and  379  are extruded for cost control purposes, but they may also be machined. Blades  364 ,  366 ,  368  and  370  press against the body of an attacker and remove a sample, while protruding projections  376 ,  377 ,  378  and  379  help store and retain the samples. Vessel  360  may be manufactured of any suitable material including metal, ceramic, plastic, stone and wood and is typically about 1 mm in length.  
         [0104]    Shown in FIG. 27 is a length-wise view of the device of FIG. 26 where the device  390  has rod portion  398 , sharp edges  394  and  396 , and sample storage space  392 .  
         [0105]    [0105]FIG. 28 shows another embodiment of tube tissue, skin, bone, body fluid and hair sampler and storage vessel  400 , where  402  is tube body, sample storage spaces are  404  and  410 , cutting blades are  406 , and  408  are protruding projections. When pressed against the attacker&#39;s and the victim&#39;s skin, cutting blades  406  remove samples. Storage spaces  404  and  410  have been shaped as slots for better retention of the samples collected,and protruding projections  408  are included on one or both sides of storage space  404  and  410 , and aimed in the direction opposite to the outflow of samples taken from storage space  404  and  410 . Vessel  400  may be manufactured of any suitable material including metal, ceramic, plastic, stone and wood and is typically about 1 mm in length.  
         [0106]    Shown in FIG. 29 is the sample storage space detail  420  (items  404  and  410  in FIG. 28) where the storage slot  422  having sharp projections  424  and  426  has been further angled away from the vertical storage space  428  position for better sample retention.  
         [0107]    [0107]FIG. 30 is a tissue, skin, bone, body fluid and hair sampler and storage vessel  330  that enables sequential taking of the attacker&#39;s and the victim&#39;s samples. Vessel  330  has scooper  332  that stuffs the samples into tube body  334 , cutting blade  336  that removes the samples, protruding projections  338 , evidence material bleed channel  340  and evidence material exit opening  342  that is preferably smaller than a typical sample taken. Projections  338  are directed opposite the outflow of evidence material from tube  334  to prevent escape of the samples taken. This embodiment makes it likely that the victim&#39;s and the attacker&#39;s skin samples will be taken alternatively and in similar quantities. Vessel  330  may be manufactured of any suitable material including metal, ceramic, plastic, stone and wood and is typically about 1 mm in length.  
         [0108]    Shown in FIG. 31 is a holder  440  capable of holding a plurality of tube or rod tissue, skin, bone, body fluid and hair samplers and storage vessels. Holder  440  has holding body  442 , tubes  444  and protruding projections  446  located within tubes  444 , preferably in the direction opposite to outflow of the evidence material from tubes  444  so to prevent the outflow of tissue, skin, bone, body fluid and hair samples from tube  444 . As the attacker grabs the victim the holder  440  is squeezed in between the two skin surfaces removing tissue, skin, bone, body fluid and hair samples and storing them inside tubes  444 . Alternatively, tubes  444  can be replaced with rod samplers of FIG. 22 or FIG. 25.  
         [0109]    [0109]FIG. 32 shows the holder  460  with holder body  462 , tube  464  extending through body  462 , protruding projections  466 , evidence material exit opening  468  and evidence material bleed opening  470 . Alternatively, tubes  464  can be replaced with rod samplers of FIG. 22 or FIG. 25.  
         [0110]    [0110]FIG. 33 shows a star shaped tissue, skin, bone, body fluid and hair sampler and storage vessel  480  that includes vessel body  482 , prongs  484 , protruding projections  486  located in body  482  and protruding projections  488  located on prongs  484 . Pressure exerted between the skin of the attacker and the victim would cause prongs  484  to remove tissue, skin, bone, body fluid and hair samples of both and retain them on projections  486 ,  488  and the entire vessel  480 .  
         [0111]    An alternative to the tissue, skin, bone, body fluid and hair sampler embodiment is a hair sampler whose panoramic view is shown in FIG. 34. The hair sampler  500  has two surfaces  502  and  504  connected to each other at  508  and folded over until space  506  between them is of sufficient dimension to accommodate a sample of human hair.  
         [0112]    [0112]FIG. 35 shows the side view of sampler  520  having surfaces  522  and  524 , sharp projections  526  located on inside surfaces of surfaces  522  and  524  and projections  528  and  530  located on outside surfaces of surfaces  524  and  522 . It is not essential that surface  522  and  524  have projections  526 ,  528  and  530  so long as surfaces  522  and  524  are sufficiently abrasive to pull or cut human hair. Hair sampler  500  would rub against the victim&#39;s and the attackers skin or head hair and pull out samples as a result of the pressure exerted during the struggle.  
         [0113]    [0113]FIG. 36 shows an audio warning system that may be employed with or without evidence material included therein. Audio warning system  540  may be a sphere or another object that is made of either rigid or resilient material. System  540  includes enclosure  542 , audio source  550 , electronics  544  for controlling source  550 , a battery or solar power source  546 , an insulator  548  and evidence material  552 . When endangered, a victim would pull out the insulator  548 , thus placing power source  546  in contact with electronics  544 . Electronics  544  would then activate audio source  550  and a prerecorded message would be played. This message may include alarm, requests that police be called, siren, cries for help, a horn, a buzzer, a child&#39;s scream, a gun shot, shriek, dog growl, dog bark, and scream. If evidence substance is included, the victim would smear it onto the attacker&#39;s skin or it would reach the attacker during the struggle. A person skilled in the art will know how to seal and protect the electronics and the battery from evidence material. Any commercially available audio source, electronics and power source will suffice.  
         [0114]    Another embodiment of audio warning system capable of housing multiple audio warning systems is shown in FIG. 37 where system  560  has enclosure  562 , the enclosure cover  564 , the cover release latch  566 , the audio source enclosure  567 , the audio source  572 , audio control electronics  568 , the battery or solar power source  570 , compressed springs  576  and  578  for supporting enclosure  567 , evidence material  579  contained in enclosure  562  and insulator  580 . When cover  564  is removed by pushing on it in horizontal direction or pulling on release latch  566 , springs  576  and  578  push upward on enclosure  567 . The spring action forces enclosure  567  from its position and ejects it from enclosure  562 . This motion disengages enclosure  567  from insulator  580 , thus bringing electronics  568  in contact with power source  570  and so activating audio source  572  that would play a prerecorded message. This message may include alarm, requests that police be called, siren, cries for help, a horn, a buzzer, a child&#39;s scream, a gun shot, shriek, dog growl, dog bark, and scream. The device  560  may be used with or without evidence material  567 .  
         [0115]    Another approach to identifying and discouraging an attacker is shown in FIG. 38 where the evidence material applying device  600  has device body  602 , and shapes  604  and  606  generated in body  602 . Body  602  can be a ring, a wire, a plate, a string, a thread, an oblong object, an oval or round object or any geometric shape. Shapes  604  and  606  are generated by any manufacturing means. When device  600  is pressed between the attacker&#39;s and the victim&#39;s skin, the pattern on body  602  would transfer to the attacker together with any evidence material being employed and serve as an identification code.  
         [0116]    Another embodiment of device  600  comprises use of ceramic pieces with their shape and composition making up the identification code. A further embodiment would employ ball bearings with patterns impressed in them. Generally, the identification code would be unique to the individual unit of the invention or to a certain number of units of the invention. The identification code can be implemented by means of composition of materials used, shape, or a combination thereof. Device  600  can be enclosed in large numbers in any easily breakable evidence material vessel.  
         [0117]    [0117]FIG. 39 shows another embodiment of applying evidence material and collecting tissue, skin, bone, body fluid and hair samples where device  620  has body  622  and sharp protrusions  624  emanating from body  622 . The pressure exerted upon protrusions  624  during struggle would cause the marks to be made in the attacker&#39;s and the victim&#39;s skin, transfer evidence material onto the skins of both, and tissue, skin, bone, body fluid and hair samples onto device  620 . The device  620  may be made of any suitable material and can be enclosed in large numbers in any easily breakable vessels with or without evidence material therein.  
         [0118]    Shown in FIG. 40 is light generating device that can be employed to deter an attacker. Device  640  includes the outer shell  642 , the mixing and leak detecting chamber  644 , and light generating chemical storing chambers  646 ,  648  and  650 . Any number of storing chambers may be employed according to how many chemicals are employed. Chamber  644  is clear and is employed to inspect for leaks from other chambers. The outer shell  642  is stronger than chambers  646 ,  648 , and  650 . This allows the user to break the walls of chambers  646 ,  648 , and  650  by squeezing on shell  642  and allow for mixing of light generating chemicals in chamber  644  without compromising the integrity of outer shell  642 . Alternatively, any commercially available light generating device may be employed.  
         [0119]    [0119]FIG. 41 shows a device  700  that combines the vessel body  702 , vessel cover  704 , a shock absorber  706 , a light source  708 , a cutting tool  710 , a power source  712 , a light source  714 , a power source  716 , audio electronics  718 , an audio source  720  and evidence material  722 . When cover  704  is removed batteries  712  and  716  come in contact with light source  714  and audio electronics  718  respectively. The light source  716  lights up and audio source  720  plays a pre-recorded message as already described. Light source  708  is energized by motion or additional shaking if needed. Cutting tool  710  is available for the victim&#39;s escape if needed. Device  700  may be used with or without evidence material  722 .  
         [0120]    [0120]FIG. 42 shows a patch of clothing vessel, where vessel  740  is a piece of cloth  742  loosely attached onto a clothing item  748  and covering evidence material holder  744  and evidence material  746 . Pulling off cloth  742  and pressing upon holder  744  exposes material  746  and allows it to be applied to or it just spreads onto the victim and the attacker. Vessel  740  can be similarly concealed on one&#39;s shoes, head cover or similar items.  
         [0121]    [0121]FIG. 43 is top view of health alert vessel  760  that may be worn on a necklace of FIG. 13 or a bracelet or a wrist band of FIG. 2.
