ABSTRACT:
A cylindrical personal protection device is disclosed having an ampule section containing a flexible, multi-chamber ampule with a nozzle, a light and a removable safety cap. The ampule contains a deterrent spray and a glowing liquid. At least a portion of the ampule portion is removable allowing access to the ampule. A trigger proximate the ampule extends beyond the periphery of the ampule section. A body section has a battery receiving area and an alarm. The electronics connect the battery receiving area, trigger, alarm and light. The electronics activates the light and alarm, in response to activation of the trigger, causing them to pulse simultaneously. The ampule portion and the body portion are removably connected to one another. At least a pair of protective bumpers prevent damage. A safety pin prevents the trigger from contacting the ampule and partial removal of the safety pin allows the trigger to contact the ampule, expelling the contents of the ampule, and activating the alarm and light.
