Multiple embodiments of a personal defense device each include an electrical stun circuit and electrodes with a structure adapted for use as an impact weapon as well, and further include a radially disposed flashlight or signal light therewith. The electrical circuitry for the stun apparatus may be formed of flexible circuit material with dual circuit paths between each component, for reliability and resistance to damage due to impact forces incurred when the device is used as an impact weapon. A second, normally closed interrupter switch may be provided for the stun circuit, with the user of the present device being required to hold the interrupter switch in order to keep the stun circuitry from operating when the master switch is turned on. The end opposite the handle may include a series of impact ribs with cutting blades removably installable thereon, to produce non-lethal cuts in an assailant during an attack.

1. A personal defense device, comprising:an elongated, electrically non-conducting, hard, rigid, generally cylindrical, hollow tube with a handle end, an electrical discharge end opposite said handle end, and a circumferential wall;first and second electrodes extending from said electrical discharge end of said tube;electrical circuitry disposed within said tube, for increasing voltage to a high level for selectively producing an electrical discharge of stunning intensity from said electrodes; andsaid wall of said tube further including at least one blade installation channel formed therein, extending from a point adjacent said electrical discharge end of said tube toward said handle end of said tube. 2. The personal defense device according to claim 1, further including a shallow metal blade removably attached to said tube within said at least one blade installation channel and projecting radially therefrom. 3. The personal defense device according to claim 1, further including a high intensity light disposed in said tube and selectively projecting light radially therefrom; andsaid high intensity light producing sufficient illumination to temporarily visually disable a person at whom said high intensity light is directed and activated. 4. The personal defense device according to claim 3, further including:a selectively rotating collar disposed circumferentially about said tube and over said high intensity light;said collar further including a plurality of colored lenses and one open passage circumferentially disposed therein, whereby said collar is selectively rotated to position one of said colored lenses or said open passage over said high intensity light for selectively filtering illumination from said high intensity light as desired. 5. The personal defense device according to claim 1, further including at least one user replaceable electronic component disposed within said tube. 6. The personal defense device according to claim 5, further including:an access cover disposed over said at least one user replaceable electronic component;a selectively rotating collar disposed circumferentially about said tube and over said access cover;said collar further including at least one open passage circumferentially disposed therein, whereby said collar is selectively rotated to position said at least one open passage over said access cover for accessing said access cover for removal thereof to access said at least one user replaceable electronic component. 7. The personal defense device according to claim 1, further including:an extension cap removably disposed upon said electrical discharge end of said tube;a body attachment strap;a first and a second electrical contact disposed within said strap;a first and a second electrical lead extending between said extension cap and said body attachment strap, connecting said extension cap and said strap together; andsaid first and second electrodes of said electrical discharge end of said tube communicating electrically respectively with said first and said second electrical contact of said strap, by means of said first and said second electrical lead. 8. A personal defense device, comprising:an elongated, electrically non-conducting, hard, rigid, generally cylindrical, hollow tube with a handle end, an electrical discharge end opposite said handle end, and a circumferential wall;first and second electrodes extending from said electrical discharge end of said tube;electrical circuitry disposed within said tube, for increasing voltage to a high level for selectively producing an electrical discharge of stunning intensity from said electrodes;a high intensity light disposed in said tube and selectively projecting light radially therefrom;said high intensity light producing sufficient illumination to temporarily visually disable a person at whom said high intensity light is directed and activated;a selectively rotating collar disposed circumferentially about said tube and over said high inten sity light; andsaid collar further including a plurality of colored lenses and one open passage circumferentially disposed therein, whereby said collar is selectively rotated to position one of said colored lenses or said open passage over said high intensity light for selectively filtering illumination from said high intensity light as desired. 9. The personal defense device according to claim 8, wherein said wall of said tube further includes at least one blade installation channel formed therein, extending from a point adjacent said electrical discharge end of said tube toward said handle end of said tube. 10. The personal defense device according to claim 9, further including a shallow metal blade removably attached to said tube within said at least one blade installation channel and projecting radially therefrom. 11. The personal defense device according to claim 8, further including at least one user replaceable electronic component disposed within said tube. 12. The personal defense device according to claim 11, further including:an access cover disposed over said at least one user replaceable electronic component, with said collar being selectively rotated to position said at least one open passage over said access cover for accessing said access cover for removal thereof to access said at least one user replaceable electronic component. 13. The personal defense device according to claim 8, further including:an extension cap removably disposed upon said electrical discharge end of said tube;a body attachment strap;a first and a second electrical contact disposed within said strap;a first and a second electrical lead extending between said extension cap and said body attachment strap, connecting said extension cap and said strap together; andsaid first and second electrodes of said electrical discharge end of said tube communicating electrically respectively with said first and said second electrical contact of said strap, by means of said first and said second electrical lead. 14. A personal defense device, comprising:an elongated, electrically non-conducting, hard, rigid, generally cylindrical, hollow tube with a handle end, an electrical discharge end opposite said handle end, and a circumferential wall;first and second electrodes extending from said electrical discharge end of said tube;electrical circuitry disposed within said tube, for increasing voltage to a high level for selectively producing an electrical discharge of stunning intensity from said electrodes; andat least one user replaceable electronic component disposed within said tube;an access cover disposed over said at least one user replaceable electronic component;a selectively rotating collar disposed circumferentially about said tube and over said access cover;said collar further including at least one open passage circumferentially disposed therein, whereby said collar is selectively rotated to position said at least one open passage over said access cover for accessing said access cover for removal thereof to access said at least one user replaceable electronic component. 15. The personal defense device according to claim 14, wherein said wall of said tube further includes at least one blade installation channel formed therein, extending from a point adjacent said electrical discharge end of said tube toward said handle end of said tube. 16. The personal defense device according to claim 15, further including a shallow metal blade removably attached to said tube within said at least one blade installation channel and projecting radially therefrom. 17.
