Jack Cover derived its name from a fictional weapon in a favorite childhood book, "Tom Swift and His Electric Rifle," one of a series of adventure stories by Victor Appleton.
"What an amazing thought, stunning people with blue balls of electricity," Cover told The Washington Post in 1976, recalling his fascination with the book. He added that an "A" was added to the name of his invention because "we got tired of answering the phone `TSER' for Tom Swift's Electric Rifle."

Have you anything special to do to-night, Ned? asked Tom Swift, the well-known inventor, as he paused in front of his chum's window, in the Shopton National Bank. "No, nothing in particular," replied the bank clerk, as he stacked up some bundles of bills. "Why do you ask?" "I wanted you to come over to the house for a while."
