second period at about three second intervals the specific discharge voltages are of course dependant on the extent of the battery charge the combined effect of the a c and d c discharges is sufficient to incapacitate a suspect assailant or prisoner with non lethal force the device eliminates the need for dangerous neck or choke holds and increases the confidence of an officer when on duty also it gives both a psychological and physical advantage to the officer when dealing with a physically superior suspect or during an investigation when the situation does not call for a drawn gun the electrified glove of this invention enables a police officer to threaten a suspect prisoner or individual who refuses to comply with his command furthermore in domestic disturbance situations which often can be dangerous the device can be worn without being provocative if the disturbance escalates the device can be turned on and used to threaten or subude an individual moreover in general its use is available immediately and it does not require a long or complicated procedure to don the glove obviously the present invention does not pose problems such as from stray or ricocheting bullets and no medical treatment is needed after use finally as indicated the device is compact and may be easily stored and charged various circuit equivalents of the present invention may be employed to effect the desired results for example transistors may.
