US12644675 - Accessory device for a conducted electrical weapon

An accessory device may be configured to output an electrical signal from a conducted electrical weapon (“CEW”). An accessory device may include a conducted energy shield. A conducted energy shield may include a shield body having a receiving unit for removably receiving a CEW that is used to provide an electrical current to one or more discharge rails disposed along a forward facing surface of the shield body and configured to deliver a high voltage current to an object coming into contact with the discharge rails. Once the CEW is removed from the receiving unit the shield body is unable to generate an electrical current across the discharge rails.

The patent describes an accessory device designed for a conducted electrical weapon (CEW) that can output an electrical signal and includes a conducted energy shield with discharge rails for delivering high voltage. The system allows the CEW to receive a control signal from the accessory, enabling it to generate electrical current when the accessory is connected.

Claim 1

1 . A system comprising: a conducted electrical weapon (“CEW”) comprising a signal generator in electrical communication with a receiving bay; and an accessory device electrically coupled to the receiving bay of the CEW, wherein the accessory device is configured to provide a control signal to the CEW, and wherein in response to receiving the control signal from the accessory device the CEW is configured to provide an electrical current to the accessory device. a conducted electrical weapon (“CEW”) comprising a signal generator in electrical communication with a receiving bay; and an accessory device electrically coupled to the receiving bay of the CEW, wherein the accessory device is configured to provide a control signal to the CEW, and wherein in response to receiving the control signal from the accessory device the CEW is configured to provide an electrical current to the accessory device.
