| Abstract: |
An apparatus used to control human beings through the application of localized pressure to their body and appendages. The claimed apparatus has a substantially straight, elongated first arm, and spaced therefrom and generally parallel thereto, a curved, elongated second arm. A member connects together one end of the first arm to the adjacent end of the second arm. The first arm extends beyond the second arm and a blunting element is fixedly secured to the free-end. The second arm has a curved midportion which curves downward and extends toward the first arm to a distance from the first arm sufficient to receive an appendage. An upwardly curved end portion of the second arm connects the curved midportion to the connecting member, and attached to the end of the curved midportion remote from the connecting member is an upwardly curved free-end portion. The free-end portion has a free-end section which extends in a direction generally away from the connecting member and downward toward the first arm to a distance from the first arm greater than the distance between the curved midportion and the first arm. The apparatus is formed as a unitary structure from a continuous band of flat material.

I claim:
1. An apparatus for the control of a human being by the selective application of localized pressure to an appendage, comprising a generally U-shaped member of substantially rectangular stock having a cross section defined by opposing relatively wide surfaces and opposing relatively narrow surfaces, said U-shaped member having first and second arms with a connecting member therebetween, said relatively wide surfaces of said first and second arms being generally in opposing relation, said first and second arms extending in generally parallel directions, said first arm being substantially straight and extending beyond said second arm, said second arm being corrugated to define two crests and a single valley therebetween with said valley opening in a direction away from said first arm, said first and second arms being sufficiently spaced apart to receive therebetween said appendage and coact to apply localized pressure to said appendage by twisting said apparatus or squeezing together said first arm relative to said second arm with said appendage therebetween.
