US12326321 - Glove adapted to dispense pulsed electric current to a human's skin

The patent describes a glove designed to deliver pulsed electric currents to a user’s skin, temporarily disrupting muscular control for purposes such as subduing a suspect. It features multiple electrodes, a voltage source, and a microprocessor-controlled system to manage the electric output without penetrating clothing or metal.

Claim 1

1. A glove adapted to dispense pulsed electric current to a human’s skin, wherein the dispensed pulsed electric current interferes temporarily with muscular locomotion of the human; the glove comprising: a) an inner cavity configured to receive a hand of a user, an outward layer and an insulator; b) the outward layer comprising a plurality of electrodes positioned on the palm side of the glove; the electrodes configured to cause the pulsed electric current to travel, without an electric arc via the skin’s epidermis and dermis, between at least two of the plurality of electrodes, and wherein the pulsed electric current fails to penetrate clothing, hair or metal; c) a voltage source connected to the glove; d) an activation switch attached to the outward layer; and e) a controller connected to the voltage source and the activation/deactivation switch; the controller comprising: i) a microprocessor; ii) a memory; iii) a pulsed output electric current circuit adapted to carry pulsed electric current to one or more of the plurality of electrodes; and iv) a combination of a pulse oscillation circuit and a first booster circuit; the combination connected with the pulsed output electric current circuit such that when the microprocessor activates the combination, the pulsed output electric current circuit delivers pulsed electric current to one or more of the plurality of electrodes, wherein at the point of electrode contact with the skin, the delivered pulsed output electric current traveling through the epidermis and dermis generated by the combination includes the following ranges of from about: 210-380 volts, 0.5-1.5 amperes, charge levels of 84-125 microcoulombs and pulse durations between 105-115 microseconds. a) an inner cavity configured to receive a hand of a user, an outward layer and an insulator; b) the outward layer comprising a plurality of electrodes positioned on the palm side of the glove; the electrodes configured to cause the pulsed electric current to travel, without an electric arc via the skin’s epidermis and dermis, between at least two of the plurality of electrodes, and wherein the pulsed electric current fails to penetrate clothing, hair or metal; c) a voltage source connected to the glove; d) an activation switch attached to the outward layer; and e) a controller connected to the voltage source and the activation/deactivation switch; the controller comprising: i) a microprocessor; ii) a memory; iii) a pulsed output electric current circuit adapted to carry pulsed electric current to one or more of the plurality of electrodes; and iv) a combination of a pulse oscillation circuit and a first booster circuit; the combination connected with the pulsed output electric current circuit such that when the microprocessor activates the combination, the pulsed output electric current circuit delivers pulsed electric current to one or more of the plurality of electrodes, wherein at the point of electrode contact with the skin, the delivered pulsed output electric current traveling through the epidermis and dermis generated by the combination includes the following ranges of from about: 210-380 volts, 0.5-1.5 amperes, charge levels of 84-125 microcoulombs and pulse durations between 105-115 microseconds. i) a microprocessor; ii) a memory; iii) a pulsed output electric current circuit adapted to carry pulsed electric current to one or more of the plurality of electrodes; and iv) a combination of a pulse oscillation circuit and a first booster circuit; the combination connected with the pulsed output electric current circuit such that when the microprocessor activates the combination, the pulsed output electric current circuit delivers pulsed electric current to one or more of the plurality of electrodes, wherein at the point of electrode contact with the skin, the delivered pulsed output electric current traveling through the epidermis and dermis generated by the combination includes the following ranges of from about: 210-380 volts, 0.5-1.5 amperes, charge levels of 84-125 microcoulombs and pulse durations between 105-115 microseconds.
