ABSTRACT:
An anti-pickpocket device for preventing a wallet from being removed from a pocket without the wearer's knowledge by creating a drag on the wallet. The device consists of a plurality of downwardly-projecting prongs pivotally mounted on a flat base which are urged outwardly therefrom by resilient means. An inflatable tube is mounted in the base which, upon inflation, rotates the prongs into a flat disposition with respect to the base for unimpeded withdrawal of the wallet. A small hand pump in fluid communication with the expansible tube by means of flexible tubing and a pressure relief valve are provided for selective inflation and deflation of the expansible tube for controlling the orientation of the prongs.
