Combined flashlight and chemical expelling device

Claim 2

A riot control attachment for flashlights of the type including a cylindrical battery case having a base at one end thereof and a light reflector at the opposite end thereof comprising a container arranged in axial alignment with said battery case, means detachably securing said container to said base, a deterrent-chemical-containing aerosol can mounted in said container, a conduit secured to said flashlight terminating adjacent said reflector, and means for dispensing chemicals from said aerosol can through said conduit.

Claim 3

A device as claimed in claim 1 wherein said aerosol can is provided with a dispensing valve and said conduit is arranged in contact with said dispensing valve whereby upon actuation of the means for dispensing chemicals from said aerosol can said chemicals are fed through said conduit.

Claim 4

A device as claimed in claim 1 wherein means are provided encompassing said flashlight and said conduit for detachably securing said conduit to said flashlight.

Claim 5

A device as claimed in claim 1 wherein the means securing said container to said flashlight includes a cover having an annular flange telescopically receiving said container and means on said flange securing said container thereto.

Claim 6

In a combined flashlight and chemical expelling device comprising an elongated casing means for housing a light bulb and focusing beam reflector assembly at a forward end thereof and oriented to forwardly direct a beam of light from said bulb, said casing means including two chambers in end to alignment, battery means for illuminating said bulb in one of said chambers, a pressurized can of chemicals in the other of said chambers, an elongated conduit having one end disposed in said other chamber and extending forwardly therefrom and terminating in a forwardly directed outlet adjacent said reflector, and manually operable means for dispensing chemicals from said can through said conduit to said outlet whereby chemicals are directed generally in the direction of the beam of light.

Claim 7

In a combined flashlight and chemical expelling device comprising an elongated casing means for housing a light bulb and focusing beam reflector assembly at a forward end thereof and oriented to forwardly direct a beam of light from said bulb, said casing means including two chambers in end to alignment, battery means for illuminating said bulb in one of said chambers, a pressurized can of chemicals in the other of said chambers, an elongated conduit having one end disposed in said other chamber and extending forwardly therefrom and terminating in a forwardly directed outlet adjacent said reflector, and manually operable means for dispensing chemicals from said can through said conduit to said outlet whereby chemicals are directed generally in the direction of the beam of light.

Claim 8

In the device as claimed in claim 5 wherein said casing means further includes means for detachably securing said chambers together.

Claim 9

In the device as claimed in claim 5 wherein said casing means rearwardly of said reflector assembly is generally cylindrical with each of said chambers being in axial alignment.

Claim 10

In the device as claimed in claim 5 wherein said manually operable means includes a dispensing valve located at the outlet of said can and means exposed outwardly of said casing for selectively operating said dispensing valve.

Claim 11

In the device as claimed in claim 5 wherein each, said chambers are cylindrical.

Claim 12

In the device as claimed in claim 9 wherein said Cylindrical chambers are axially aligned.
