General purpose gloves for police

This BodyGuard glove was created with the aim of helping police and guards to prevent and prevent face-to-face confrontations to ensure safety. This design won the 2011 invention award.

Equipped with high-intensity electric gun, camera with video recording function, laser viewfinder with flashlight and wrist armor to protect users during scuffle. The invention was designed by David Brown, a cinematographer and producer and screenwriter who created footage for Rage Against the Machine or Snoop Dogg .

Brown developed the device template one evening in 2004 when he and his friends discussing mountain lion attacks on people near Orange County park left one person dead and many others injured. In these attacks, Brown thinks that even if you own a knife or other hand-held weapons, you will drop it. He wanted to create something that could instinctively make people use it.

Usage of armored gloves: This ventilated glove only weighs less than 1.3kg and is encapsulated solidly by a hard shell that extends to the elbow. A stork of energy for the electric gun (created by four electrodes at the wrist), and a button at the palm to shoot. Likewise there are buttons for controlling the laser viewfinder, camera with video recording function and flashlight.

As well as drawing ideas, he said the potential market is the police force, the prison guards and the military. Brown created a sample version within 48 hours from a medical bracelet and homemade electric gun with a fire alarm button from Home Depot. After 7 years of research and 30 sample versions were created, Brown released the first test version. The materials created for the purpose of maximizing the purpose of use, creating comfort and preventing users from shocking themselves. The viewfinder with blue laser supports viewing with a high-resolution digital camera.

If the camera is not enough, the electric gun will take care of the rest. When the glove is charged, just looking and hearing the sound in the process is enough to make the subject visualize the pain you will encounter and falter. But this is just a last resort for those who are not cooperative and stubborn.

BodyGuard was launched in May in the United States. Brown said that future functions may include chemical sensors, an electronic translator for soldiers to communicate without language barriers or biometric meters for Security staff at airports. Brown said: 'BodyGuard will increase the power of officers around the world, and it will be able to save many people.'
