Patent number: 7986965Abstract: The present invention teaches an economical disposable emergency cellular telephone. A major object of this invention is a shocking self-defense capability. A further object is a cell phone which launches projectiles to deliver the shocking voltage. A further object of the invention is a new technique for having a large number of cellular phones share the same small group of access numbers and serial numbers in order to reduce the monthly charges to zero for the end consumer. This makes it more practical to use cellular phones for data transmission and monitoring applications.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2010Date of Patent: July 26, 2011Assignee: Kroll Family TrustInventors: Chase R.
