  • Patent number: 10279358
    Abstract: A water spraying assembly includes a spray unit is selectively positioned on a support surface thereby facilitating a user to stand within the spray unit. The spraying unit is fluidly coupled to a fluid source thereby facilitating the spraying unit to spray a fluid onto the user. A spin unit is rotatably coupled to the spray unit and the spin unit is selectively rotated in a first direction. The user repeatedly jumps over the spin unit when the user stands within the spray unit. A remote control is provided and the remote control is in electrical communication with the spin unit such that the remote control selectively turns the spin unit on and off.

  • Publication number: 20050037847
    Abstract: A dual grip walking and defense baton comprising a shaft, a medial grip located axially along a medial region of the shaft, and an end grip located axially along a region adjacent a first end of the shaft. The shaft can be telescopically extendible from a second end and can be fitted with a defense spray and/or a flashlight mechanism. A contact member can be disposed on the second shaft end for applying force to an assailant's pressure point. A wrist strap can be attached to the baton on or adjacent the end grip at a point distal from the first end of the shaft.
