Abstract: Described herein is a flashlight apparatus includes a light emitting module at a distal end, a pepper spray module at a proximal end, and a plurality of interchangeable modules positioned between the light emitting module and the pepper spray module. The pepper spray module includes an actuator, a nozzle, and a pepper spray compartment capable of housing a pepper spray source. The actuator includes a pepper spray switch and a pepper spray channel. Actuation of the pepper spray switch releases pepper spray fluid from the pepper spray source, and through the pepper spray channel and nozzle. The interchangeable modules include a power supply with a power source and a power switch module for selectively supplying power from the power source to the light emitting module when the power source is housed by the power compartment.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an apparatus includes a power module that includes a power source. The apparatus also includes a power consumption module that is configured to consume power from the power source. Further, the apparatus includes a power control module that is configured to selectively regulate power from the power source to the power consumption module. Each of the power module, power consumption module, and power control module includes a positive power terminal, a negative power terminal, and at least one neutral terminal. The power module, power consumption module, and power control module each is removably interconnected adjacently to at least another of the power module, power consumption module, and power control module via engagement between the positive power terminals of the at least one adjacent module, the negative power terminals of the at least one adjacent module, and the neutral terminals of the at least one adjacent module.

Abstract: An arrangement for tethering a horse includes a shaft which is resilient throughout. One end of the shaft is provided with a handle-like member for attachment to a tether while the other end of the shaft is provided with a cap. A body of deformable material surrounds the shaft in the area where the shaft enters the cap. The cap is connected to a carrier, and the carrier is pivotable on a support which is designed to be attached to a supporting surface such as the side of a horse trailer. A bolt urges the cap and the carrier against each other. The shaft is pivotable with the carrier between an operative position and a storage position, and the shaft can be locked in either of these positions. A horse can be tethered to the shaft in its operative position using a bungee cord.
