An interactive device for improving accuracy in archery and similar endeavors is provided. In some embodiments, a deformable device is provided that is operable to communicate with an archery bow and receive force during use of the bow. The deformable device is operable to deflect in a manner that produces an audible and tactile signal to a user. The signal may correspond to an appropriate amount of string tension or draw, for example.

A religious hand garment assembly includes a pair of gloves that can be worn on a respective one of a user's hands. A ring is coupled to a respective one of the gloves and a scroll is rotatably integrated into a respective one of the gloves. The scroll is pullable outwardly from the respective glove such that the scroll is visible. A pair of noise makers is each movably coupled to a respective one of the gloves to emit an audible sound when the respective glove is shaken. A feather is coupled to a respective one of the gloves to enhance the ornamental appearance of the respective glove.

A safety system for a machine having a danger zone includes an induction coil having one or more turns extending along the periphery of a part of a worker's body as, for example, extending alone the fingers of a glove worn by the worker. A drive circuit applies a time-varying current having an identifiable characteristic such as the frequency of an alternating current. A magnetic field having the characteristic of the time-varying current is induced in an omnidirectional magnetic field sensor mounted adjacent the danger zone. The magnitude of this field is monitored. When the magnitude exceeds a threshold, a warning signal is issued and protective action may be taken, such as stopping or reversing the machine.

A self-defense glove. The self-defense glove includes a body having a palm portion, a rear portion, and a plurality of finger openings, each of the finger openings configured to receive a finger therethrough. A pocket configured to receive a spray-deterrent canister such as a pepper spray canister is disposed on the rear portion. A control is disposed on the palm portion. When activated by a user, the control is configured to actuate the pepper spray canister, causing pepper spray to be emitted therefrom. The control is also configured to actuate at least one electrode sending an electrical current therethrough. The user may aim the pepper spray canister in the direction of an attacker and activate the control in order to incapacitate the attacker with the pepper spray. The rear portion further includes a warning label and a light thereon in order to deter would-be assailants from initiating a confrontation.

A self-defense device includes a notification or alarm component configured to be used with a personal item, wherein the notification or alarm component is a whistle or an alarm device. The personal item may be a hairpiece, a keychain, a glove, a purse, an earring, a belt, or a handbag. The notification or alarm component may be an electronic device that can makes a loud sound or send an electronic signal that communicates with a cell phone or an alarm center.

The present invention relates to a device and a method associated with the device. With respect to the device, it is a wearable garment for the hand, wrist, and/or forearm with an embedded array of lights; one or more micro processing units; one or more touch or pressure activated switches, buttons, or toggles; one or more motion sensing mechanisms; and one or more wireless transmission components which is capable of receiving and transmitting information to a mobile computing device. A wireless transmission device is also disclosed which is attached or embedded in a vehicle connected to the turn signaling system. The mobile computing device such as a smartphone or GPS unit tracks the wearer's location and route and transmits a signal to the wearable garment when a turn approaches causing haptic feedback vibration to the wearer and activation of the embedded lights on the appropriate side. The wearable garment also transmits and receives signals from the wireless transmission device in the vehicle which activates or deactivates the turn signals on the vehicle when the wearable garment's lights and haptic feedback mechanisms are activated or deactivated, and reciprocally the lights and haptic feedback systems on the wearable garment when the turn signal on the vehicle is activated or deactivated. The wearable garment signaling system may be activated by the user's hand/arm motions, by actuation of embedded switches, buttons, or toggles, or by signal from the mobile computing device.

A safety barrier for protecting a covered surface from exposure to dangerous fluids is provided with a membrane with a protected region having one or more built-in safety features defined by set of safety related properties and placed over the surface to inhibit the exposure of the dangerous fluids onto or into the surface and a safety indicator providing a visually perceptible alert at the outermost surface of the membrane indicative of at least one safety related property.
