ABSTRACT:
A leveraged end cap, which can be removably placed onto existing batons, permits a user to grasp a baton at a lower position along the baton. The leveraged end cap defines a location that can be grasped using the little finger, or pinky, of the hand such that the baton is pivoted about the little finger providing an additional length of lever arm equivalent to about one hand length. The baton held in this manner is locked into place until released, such that slippage or accidental dropping of the baton are minimized. The increased lever arm created by the use of the leveraged end cap allows the user to generate a strike force in the baton equivalent to a longer length baton, permitting the user to adopt a smaller, more easily concealable and lighter weight baton.
