View Patent ↗A premise-security system is disclosed combining a user-carried firearm with a remote light or lighting effect intended to be switched ON by the user who is bearing the firearm all the while the user poses a defensive posture, and causing the light/lighting effect to switch ON all while not dropping the defensive posture to a vulnerable posture, on a given self-defense occasion (eg., an after-dark home break-in home invasion by an intruder. The firearm is equipped with a manual switch module that has a switch, a power supply and wireless communications transmission circuits and components which, in response to manual activation of the switch, propagate a wireless communication or signal that causes the remote light or lighting effect to switch ON. The light and/or lighting effects are designed and disposed to provide the homeowner/resident/user to hide in darkness or shadows while brightly illuminating, dazzling, confusing and/or blinding the intruder.
1. Premise-security system comprising a combination of (1) a manually carried and operated projectile projector with (2) an operative device having plural STATES which can be switched between at least a STATE ONE and a STATE TWO by supply of an electric control signal; said system comprising:
the manually carried and operated projectile projector;
a manual switch module comprising a manual switch, a power supply, and circuits for propagating a wireless communication upon activation of the manual switch;
wherein the manually carried and operated projectile projector is equipped with the manual switch module; and
the operative device, which comprises any of a light, a lighting effect, a siren or an alarm;
wherein the operative device is remotely located and remotely operated, and has the plural STATES which can be switched between at least the STATE ONE and the STATE TWO by supply of an electric control signal that is responsive to the wireless communication propagated by the manual switch module;
wherein the manual switch module is disposed at a location on or in the manually carried and operated projectile projector where a user can comfortably and effectively bear the projectile projector all the while being capable of activating the switch;
wherein the manually carried and operated projectile projector comprise a side arm;
wherein the side arm comprises a magazine tube, and
the manual switch module comprises a sliding collar adapted for insertion of the magazine tube therethrough to slide elevationally in opposite directions on the outside of the magazine tube.
