Abstract
A tubular reservoir for wear on a finger contains a deterrent to ward off an assailant. A housing, defining the reservoir, collapses upon flexing of the finger to propel the deterrent for nozzle discharge. A cap is carried by a retainer which is rapidly dislodged by a finger adjacent the finger worn device.
Claims11
1- A device for discharging liquid deterrent to repel an assailant, said device comprising,
- a housing of tubular configuration for placement on a finger of the user and having concentric sleeves defining a chamber for the storage of a liquid deterrent, annular members supporting said sleeves, one of said members including a projection for disposition adjacent a phalanx of a user's finger and displaceable upon flexing of the finger to displace said one of said annular members to collapse said sleeves and expel fluid from the chamber, and
- a nozzle carried by said housing in communication with the chamber to discharge liquid upon flexing of the main body.
2- A protective device for wearing on a finger and including,
- a tubular body including flexible means for defining a chamber of annular shape for reception of a fluid,
- rings each adjacent an end of the tubular body,
- a nozzle in communication with said chamber, and
- one of said rings including a projection extending in an axial direction beyond said tubular body for disposition subjacent a phalanx of a user's finger. flexing of the finger serving to collapse the tubular body to the extent fluid is discharged from the chamber through the nozzle assembly.
3- A tubular container having open ends for placement on a person's finger including, an elongate collapsible housing defining a chamber for storage of a fluid,
- a nozzle in communication with said chamber,
- said housing collapsed upon flexing of a finger to expel a fluid from said chamber through said nozzle.
4- The tubular container claimed in claim 3 wherein said housing includes end members.
5- The tubular container claimed in claim 4 wherein said end members are of annular shape, said nozzle carried by one of said end members.
6- The tubular container claimed in claim 1 wherein said housing comprises radially spaced apart tubular members.
7- The tubular container claimed in claim 6 wherein said tubular members are lengths of tubing.
8- The tubular container claimed in claim 7 wherein said tubing is corrugated.
9- The tubular container claimed in claim 4 wherein one of said members includes a projection for placement adjacent the user's finger to serve as a trigger.
10- The tubular container claimed in claim 4 additionally including a cap including a retainer for attachment to one of said end members.
11- The tubular container claimed in claim 10 wherein said retainer includes a fitting engageable with a finger facilitating rapid removal of said cap.
