Abstract:

A self defense weapon comprising a glove type mounting of three groups of projecting spikes for slashing and stabbing an opponent. A first group of spikes is directed forward for stabbing. A second group of spikes is mounted to pivot between a first position wherein they are directed forward when the mechanism is not in use and a second position wherein the second spikes extend substantially perpendicular to the first spikes. A third group of spikes are retracted into a handle of the mechanism when it is not in use and are released to extend in a lateral direction during use. An actuator causes the third spikes to become extended and simultaneously causes the second spikes to be rotated to the second position.
