Patent ID: 7525786

Claim:
An extendable electronic immobilization staff comprising: (a) a tubular body member having a position locking mechanism, an electronics housing compartment including a power source, a rear handgrip assembly and a forward handgrip assembly thereon; (b) a central sliding member assembly having two or more conductive rails in electrical communication with said electronics compartment, separated by a non-conductive core, said rails located parallel to the central axis of said central sliding member and terminating on a distal end with a protruded portion; and (c) an on/off switch integrated into said rear handgrip assembly having an on position and an off position wherein said on position includes a low voltage position and a high voltage position wherein said on/off switch integrated into said rear handgrip assembly rotationally twists to move from the off position to the on position and further wherein said on/off switch integrated into said rear handgrip assembly slides forward or backward to adjust from high voltage to low voltage settings; whereby said central sliding member assembly slides into and out from said tubular body member to a desired length, locked into place using said position locking mechanism, and said conductive rails are provided with electrical power for discharge to immobilize a person thereby contacted.
