ABSTRACT:
An expandable baton having a gripping tube, a center tube, and a striking tube that collapse into an axial bore formed in the gripping tube. The gripping tube includes an extended support surface formed on the decreasing diameter tapered portion contained on its first end. The center tube includes an extended support surface on each of its first and second ends to prevent fracture on each of the ends during use of the baton. The striking tube is machined and includes a tapered portion formed on its second end that engages the center tube when the baton is in its extended position. An end cap having an outer diameter greater than the inner diameter of axial bore formed in the gripping tube is attached to the first end of the striking tube. The end cap includes a nesting portion having a nesting surface that engages the inner diameter of the axial bore of the gripping tube when the baton is in its retracted position. An angled surface on the end cap aids in aligning the striking tube within the gripping tube.
