DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
The invention relates to a pointed weapon with a springing device, with which a pointed blade is slidably lead into a shaft and can be moved from a retractable home position into a projecting position, where a spring is arranged between the shaft and the blade, which prepressures the blade into a projecting position and where an engaging and disengaging stop work is planned at the shaft, which in the home position engages into a catch recess provided in the blade and in the projecting position secures the blade against being pushed back into the shaft.
For security tasks, i.e., for personal security by so-called bodyguards or bouncers of discoteks weapons are needed, which can be carried in such a way that they normally, meaning when not in use, practically do not show and which in the case of use can be put into action quickly and without awkward manipulation as well as being effective thereby. Fire arms are not always used in such cases, especially as the pulling of a gun from a holster, being hidden away, always requires a major action and can be recognized and avoided by an adversary, who is directly close. Pointed weapons also, i.e., jack knives, would have to be pulled, seized and unlocked from a hidden supporting part or a holster, before they can be used. All this takes time and movement, which do not only offer an advantage to a decisive, quickly-acting adversary, but also diminishes the element of surprise of the fact that a weapon has appeared.
This is where the invention starts. It is the task of the invention to further develop a pointed weapon of the above-mentioned kind in such a way that on one hand the weapon can be carried as inconspicuously as possible, so that it does not show normally, but can be pulled out extremely quickly and used directly for an attack, so that the fast provision confronts the adversary with an element of surprise.
Departing from the pointed weapon of the above mentioned kind the task is involved in such a way, that the stop-work comprises a release element, which is made from flexible, tensile material showing a loop for a finger, and that the shaft comprises a supporting part of a strapping device with which the pointed weapon can be put on and attached to the forearm of a human being.
This pointed weapon has the major advantage that it is already sufficiently secured to an arm, with which an attack or a threat of an attack is being executed normally, as is necessary for an attack. By means of its supporting part and the strapping device, the pointed weapon is tightly secured at the forearm of a human being. It does not stand out of the sleeve of a normal jacket, meaning that it does not end before the wrist. The blade is completely retracted within the shaft in the home position, and therefore it cannot be seen.
The stop work can be set into action via a flexible element, as a flexible element, i.e., a cord, a nylon wire or something similar can be used. The flexible element shows a loop for a finger, which the user puts around a finger, where the flexible element runs across the back of the hand. It is stretched in such a way that when bending the hand in the region of the wrist and the first joints of the fingers, sufficient tension is exerted on the elastic element that the stop work is being released. Then the blade, which is moved by spring action towards the front, is released from the stop work. The blade either moves into the projecting position by the spring action already or still needs to be moved into it, i.e. it can be moved into the projecting position by its dead weight or by its inert mass when an attack is being executed. By moving the hand away from the opening of the shaft for stretching the flexible element and releasing the stop work, there is no danger of the protruding blade touching or even hurting the user.
In the projecting position the blade locks in the manner known, for this the stop work is also used preferably. In an alternate embodiment a separate stop work for the locking of the projecting position can also be provided.
