Abstract
A personal defense system having a protective spray container with an upper end spray actuator, a dispensing cap constructed and arranged to house the spray actuator and have a fixed relationship with the dispensing nozzle thereof, a holster for the container having an interlocking structure with the dispensing cap to prevent relative rotation, and also including a security system releasably attached to the hoister.
Claims38
A personal defense system comprising:
- a protective spray container with a spray actuator on its upper end, said spray actuator including dispensing valve and nozzle means, and actuator control means operatively associated with said valve means;
- a dispensing cap constructed and arranged to engage the upper end of the container and house the spray actuator and actuator control means thereunder, said cap having a front wall with a discharge opening operatively associated with the nozzle means and said actuator control means being recessed within the cap and manually accessible from the rear side opposite to the front wall;
- and
- a holster casing having a body portion with an open upper end for receiving the container with the dispensing cap projecting outwardly from the open upper end to thereby expose the front discharge opening of the dispensing cap and the actuator control means for the dispensing valve means, and locking means for orienting the dispensing cap in substantially fixed non-rotational relation within the casing.

A personal defense system comprising:
- a protective spray container with a spray actuator on its upper end, said spray actuator including dispensing nozzle and an actuator control for dispensing a spray through the nozzle;
- a dispensing cap engaged on the upper end of the container and housing the spray actuator, said cap having a front discharge opening associated with the nozzle and the actuator control being recessed within the cap and being manually accessible from the rear side opposite to said front opening;
- and
- a holster casing having a body portion with an open upper end for receiving the container with the dispensing cap projecting outwardly from the open upper end to orient the opposed front discharge opening and actuator control, and locking means for holding the dispensing cap against rotational movement relative to the casing body portion including a strap on the casing body and strap receiving means on said dispensing cap;
- and
- security means constructed and arranged for cooperable associated with the holster casing including holding means releasably attached to said casing body portion.

A personal defense system comprising:
- a protective spray container with a spray actuator on its upper end, said spray actuator including dispensing valve and nozzle means, and actuator control means for operating the valve means to dispense a spray through the nozzle means;
- a dispensing cap constructed and arranged to engage the upper end of the container and house the spray actuator, said cap having a front wall with a discharge opening operatively associated with the nozzle means and said actuator control means being recessed within the cap and being manually accessible from the rear side opposite to said front opening;
- a holster casing having a body portion with an open upper end for receiving the container with the dispensing cap projecting outwardly from the open upper end to thereby expose the opposed front discharge opening and actuator control means, and locking means for holding the dispensing cap against rotational movement relative to the casing body portion, said locking means including first casing means comprising a strap, and second cap means including a wall having slot forming means to receive and be engaged by the casing strap;
- and
- security means constructed and arranged for releasable attachment to the casing including a security holding tab, and first and second cooperable and releasable fastening means on said casing body portion and said holding tab.

A personal defense system comprising:
- primarily security means in the form of a protective spray canister having a spray actuator on its upper end, said spray actuator including dispensing valve and nozzle means, and actuator control means associated with said valve means for dispensing the protective spray from the canister as a primary person defense;
- a dispensing cap constructed and arranged to engage the upper end of the canister and house the spray actuator, said cap having a front wall with a discharge opening operatively associated with the nozzle means and said actuator control means being recessed within the cap and manually accessible from the side opposite to said front wall;
- secondary security means in the form of manually operated means for selectively asserting a secondary personal defense;
- and
- other means interposed between and forming a releasable attachment of said canister and said secondary security means, said other means comprising holding means for said second security means, and first and second releasable fastening means constructed and arranged to accommodate the separation of said holding means of the secondary security means from said canister.

A tear gas defense system comprising:
- a tear gas spray canister with a spray actuator on its upper end, said spray actuator including dispensing valve and nozzle means, and actuator control means operatively associated with said valve means for dispensing a protective spray from the canister as a primary personal defense;
- a dispensing cap constructed and arranged to engage the upper end of the canister and house the spray actuator and actuator control means thereunder, said cap having a front wall with a discharge opening operatively associated with the nozzle means and said actuator control means being recessed within the cap and manually accessible from the side opposite to said front wall;
- and
- said dispensing cap having a canister engaging base including closure means for securely interlocking the cap on the canister end to orient and hood the spray actuator and actuator control means in a predetermined position therein.
