Abstract
A handle assembly is described. Embodiments of the handle assembly can include a main body and a cap. The main body can be contoured to be gripped by a user and can include a chamber for receiving a canister of deterrent spray therein. The contour of the main body can generally index knuckles of a user holding the main body with a dispensing nozzle of a canister configured to dispense a deterrent. The cap can be removably coupled to the main body and can encapsulate the canister in the chamber. To dispense contents of the canister, a user may first pop the cap off to engage the canister, second the user can activate the canister, and third the user can dispense the contents of the canister.
