    (54) Hand-held device for self defence


    (57) A gripping type self-defending tool comprising a grip main body (1) of a shape suitable to gripping by one hand and a protrusion (4) markedly protruding from the grip main body (1), which is used for striking or thrusting an opponent by gripping a portion of the grip main body (1), exposing the protrusion (4) in front of a knuckle from between the forefinger and the middle finger. Both ends of the gripping portion are positioned on the right and left of the knuckle, and used for striking or thrusting the opponent by swinging the knuckle right- and left-ward. The protrusion (4) can be folded into or detached from the grip main body (1). It is also possible to incorporate a tear gas reservoir (7) into the grip main body (1) to serve the gripping type self-defending tool also as a weapon capable of injecting a stimulating fluid such as a tear gas, incorporate an electric cell (82) into the gap main body (1) and disposing an electric lamp (73) to the protrusion, thereby serving the gripping type self-defending tool also as a flashlight and, further, attach a ring (64) to one end of the grip main body, thereby serving the gripping type self-defending tool also as a key holder.
