MUMBAI, India, March 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611008258 A) filed by Shri Ram Murti Smarak College Of Engineering Technology & Research; Abhinav Bhatnagar; Dr. Manvi Mishra; Dr. Shailesh Saxena; and Dr. Prabhakar Gupta, Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh, on Jan. 28, for 'dual-layer high-voltage safety glove for women self-defence.'
Inventor(s) include Abhinav Bhatnagar; Dr. Manvi Mishra; Dr. Shailesh Saxena; and Dr. Prabhakar Gupta.
The application for the patent was published on March 13, under issue no. 11/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a wearable self-defense device in the form of a glove configured to deliver a high-voltage, low-current electric deterrent while ensuring user safety. The device integrates a rechargeable low-voltage power source, a charging and power management module, and a compact high-voltage generation circuit within a glove structure. A user-operated switch selectively energizes the high-voltage circuit, supplying electrical energy to conductive terminals positioned on externally exposed finger regions. The glove incorporates a dual-layer insulation system comprising an inner high-voltage-resistant insulating layer and an outer protective insulating layer, such that the wearer remains electrically isolated during operation. Upon activation and contact with an external body, a localized electric shock is delivered to deter or temporarily incapacitate an attacker without causing permanent harm. The invention provides a rechargeable, non-lethal, and continuously wearable personal safety solution offering immediate accessibility and ease of use."
