Patent number: 11291835Abstract: An apparatus for treating venomous bites and stings of poisonous snakes, insects and other types of poisonous vectors with a titrated dose of electrons. The unit is small and easily portable and requires on a 9-vold DC battery for power. It does not require a lot of expertise to use. A bi-metallic switch provides for a limited (and calculated) dose delivery of electrons. The venom desensitizer destabilizes and de-organizes toxic metalloproteinases. This occurs through several physiological and chemical phenomena. It addresses oxidative stress occurring from bite trauma as well as venom toxins without causing negative side effects other than a brief electrical shock.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2019Date of Patent: April 5, 2022Inventors: Wesley Adolph Whitten, Crystal Whitten, Stanley Donald Abrams

Patent number: 7525786Abstract: An extendable electronic discharge staff will consist of a central sliding member translating within a tubular body member to be positioned by the means of a spring-loaded ball detent. When the central sliding member is positioned, it will be locked in place by the means of a locking nut at the distal end of the tubular body member. A forward adjustable handgrip will be located and locked into position along the length of the tubular body member to accommodate the size and comfort of the person using the device. By rotating the rear hand grip, the device will be turned on or off, and by sliding the rear handgrip forward or backward a high or low voltage will be delivered to the distal contact end of the central sliding member. On an alternate embodiment having three contact positions, the default center position delivers low voltage while both forward and backward outer positions deliver high voltage.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2006Date of Patent: April 28, 2009Inventor: Stephen C.

Patent number: 6963480Abstract: The invention is a high voltage stun device, unique in the sword-like configuration of its fully retractable, yet non-injurious, “blade,” and its ability to deliver the pulse along the length of the “blade” as well as at the tip to a target at a distance far beyond arm's length. Stun batons, even retractable ones, have none of the preferred properties satisfied by the invention, including superior length of shocking surface, superior weighting and flexibility of the shocking surface, and simplicity of maintenance and repair. The “blade” of the invention is capable of expanding to a superior length that can keep a subject at a good defensive distance, yet be effective and retracted if he manages to get in close. With a moderation of the centrifugal force applied during blade deployment, the invention can be made to emulate a shorter sword, a long sword, and all lengths between.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2003Date of Patent: November 8, 2005Inventor: James Byron Eccles
