Baton with incorporated chemical spray

Abstract

A baton with incorporated chemical spray is provided. The baton includes a handle portion and a striking portion connected to the handle portion. The striking portion and the handle portion enable a primary use of the baton as a striking device. The baton further includes a chemical spray canister encased within the handle portion and enabling a secondary use of the baton as a chemical spray device. The baton further includes a nozzle configured to receive a chemical flow from the chemical spray canister and dispense the chemical spray and a spray activation switch configured to selectively release the chemical flow from the chemical spray canister and channel the chemical flow to the nozzle.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A baton with incorporated chemical spray, the baton comprising:
 a handle portion;   a striking portion connected to the handle portion, wherein the striking portion and the handle portion enable a primary use of the baton as a striking device;   a chemical spray canister encased within the handle portion and enabling a secondary use of the baton as a chemical spray device;   a nozzle configured to receive a chemical flow from the chemical spray canister and dispense the chemical spray; and   a spray activation switch configured to selectively release the chemical flow from the chemical spray canister and channel the chemical flow to the nozzle.   
     
     
         2 . The baton of  claim 1 , wherein the nozzle is disposed at an end of the striking portion. 
     
     
         3 . The baton of  claim 2 , wherein the chemical spray canister is disposed within the handle. 
     
     
         4 . The baton of  claim 2 , wherein the handle is a primary handle portion;
 wherein the primary handle portion is in-line with the striking portion; and   further comprising a secondary handle portion oriented perpendicular to the primary handle portion.   
     
     
         5 . The baton of  claim 4 , wherein the chemical spray canister is disposed within the primary handle portion. 
     
     
         6 . The baton of  claim 4 , wherein the chemical spray canister is disposed within the secondary handle portion. 
     
     
         7 . The baton of  claim 1 , wherein the nozzle is disposed at an end of the handle. 
     
     
         8 . The baton of  claim 7 , wherein the chemical spray canister is disposed within the handle. 
     
     
         9 . The baton of  claim 7 , wherein the handle is a primary handle portion;
 wherein the primary handle portion is in-line with the striking portion; and   further comprising a secondary handle portion oriented perpendicular to the primary handle portion.   
     
     
         10 . The baton of  claim 8 , wherein the chemical spray canister is disposed within the primary handle portion. 
     
     
         11 . The baton of  claim 8 , wherein the chemical spray canister is disposed within the secondary handle portion. 
     
     
         12 . The baton of  claim 1 , wherein the baton is configured for existing alternatively in a retracted/ready to dispense spray state or in an extended/spray disabled state. 
     
     
         13 . A baton with incorporated chemical spray, the baton comprising:
 a striking portion;   a primary handle portion oriented to be in-line with the striking portion and connected to the handle portion, wherein the striking portion and the primary handle portion enable a primary use of the baton as a striking device;   a secondary handle portion oriented to be perpendicular to the primary handle portion;   a chemical spray canister encased within the primary handle portion or the secondary handle portion and enabling a secondary use of the baton as a chemical spray device;   a nozzle configured to receive a chemical flow from the chemical spray canister and dispense the chemical spray; and   a spray activation mechanism configured to selectively release the chemical flow from the chemical spray canister; and   
       wherein the chemical flow is channeled to the nozzle. 
     
     
         14 . The baton of  claim 13 , wherein the chemical spray canister is disposed within the primary handle portion. 
     
     
         15 . The baton of  claim 13 , wherein the chemical spray canister is disposed within the secondary handle portion. 
     
     
         16 . A baton with incorporated chemical spray, the baton comprising:
 a handle portion;   a striking portion including a plurality of extending portions, wherein the striking portion with the extending portions in an extended state and the handle portion enable a primary use of the baton as a striking device;   a chemical spray canister encased within the baton and enabling a secondary use of the baton as a chemical spray device;   a nozzle configured to receive a chemical flow from the chemical spray canister and configured to dispense the chemical spray; and   a spray activation mechanism configured to selectively release the chemical flow from the chemical spray canister and channel the chemical flow to the nozzle; and   
       wherein the baton is configured for existing alternatively in a retracted/ready to dispense spray state or in an extended/spray disabled state.
