Portable, non-lethal, self defense device with disabling mechanism

A personal self defense device comprising:

• a canister, the canister having a valve, valve stem, and containing fluid;
• an actuator, the actuator having a through orifice in communication with a nozzle and the valve stem, wherein depression of the actuator causes the release of fluid from the canister;
• a housing having an interior to support the canister ends without completely encapsulating the canister, the housing having a front wall, a grip section, a top wall, a bottom section, a rear wall and a channel, the front wall having an aperture aligned with the nozzle, wherein fluid leaving the nozzle travels through this aperture, the grip section extending the length of the canister and terminating at the bottom section, the bottom section having a socket and means to adjust the diameter of the socket, the top wall has a cylindrical bore sized to receive a pivotally attached top flap, wherein the top flap is pivotally moveable in a direction upwards from the housing, the channel perpendicular to the canister and extending from the front wall to the rear wall;
• a slide plate, the slide plate being moveably received in the channel, the slide plate, having a central aperture and incline aperture, the central aperture sized to allow receipt of the actuator and in communication with the actuator, wherein movement of the slide plate disrupts the communication between the actuator and aperture preventing depression of the actuator;
• a shaft, the shaft having a top end, a bottom end, and an elastic member, the shaft located in the grip section and moveable in a direction parallel to the canister, the top end having an inclined block in communication with the incline aperture, the bottom end terminating at bottom section of the housing in communication with the socket, the elastic member mounted on the shaft and biased in direction parallel to the shaft;
• and
• a ball, the ball sized for receipt in the socket having a upper end and lower end, the lower end having a shaft, the shaft having a bore for the attachment of a strap, the upper end in communication with the shaft, wherein receipt of the ball into the socket loads the elastic member and aligns the central aperture with the actuator.
