Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
102 words
A device for administering an electric shock, said device comprising: garment means; means for providing a voltage differential between spaced locations of said garment means; and contact means for electrically contacting said garment means' spaced locations via spaced locations of a being's body, whereby said body is rendered adapted to close an electrical circuit which includes said voltage differential providing means, said contact means comprising, (a) a pair of spaced pin members each having a puncture point, said pin members each being substantially encased within a flexible pad, wherein said puncture points are adapted to exit said pad and contact said body.
