Abstract
An apparatus for carrying a self-protection chemical dispenser, functioning also as a key holder, which provides quick and convenient access to the dispenser nozzle while also protecting the nozzle from inadvertent activation. A protective arcuate portion or flap of the holder carries a rigid wire or semi-rigid strip of material which guards the nozzle while the device is in one's pocket or purse, or in case the device is accidentally dropped.
Claims10
A carrying case for use in combination with a self-protection chemical dispenser having a cylindrical body equipped with a spray nozzle and an actuator button wherein the carrying case comprises:
- a front section and a rear section, said front section being fastened to said rear section along at least a portion of its periphery, wherein, whereby a generally cylindrical tubular housing is formed capable of holding the chemical dispenser therein, said tubular housing having a first end and a second end, said second end being closed, said first end having an enlarged retention means forming an enlarged generally arcuate loop for retaining the dispenser within said housing, wherein, the top of the actuator button is spaced a substantial distance from the apex of said arcuate loop to accommodate the insertion of a users finger intermediate the said arcuate loop and the top of said actuator button, and protective means associated with said arcuate loop and associated with said arcuate loop and extending over the top and along both sides of said actuator button for preventing the inadvertent activation of the spray nozzle of the chemical dispenser.
A carrying case for use in combination with a self-protection chemical dispenser having a cylindrical body equipped with a spray nozzle and an actuator button, wherein, the carrying case comprises:
- a one-piece body, including a front section and a rear section, said front section being joined to said rear section along a portion of its periphery in a flat co-facing relationship;
- wherein, a generally cylindrical tubular housing is formed capable of holding the chemical dispenser therein, said tubular housing having a first end and a second end, said second end being closed, said first end having an enlarged retention means forming a generally arcuate loop for retaining the dispenser within said housing, wherein, the top of the actuator button is spaced a substantial distance from the apex of said arcuate loop to accommodate the insertion of a users finger intermediate the said arcuate loop and the top of said actuator button, and protective means associated with said arcuate loop and extending over the top and along both sides of said actuator button for preventing the inadvertent activation of the spray nozzle of the chemical dispenser.
A carrying case for use in combination with a self-protection chemical dispenser having a cylindrical body equipped with a spray nozzle and an actuator button, wherein, the carrying case comprises:
- a front section and a rear section, said front section being fastened to said rear section along its entire periphery in a flat co-facing relationship, wherein,
- a generally cylindrical tubular housing is formed capable of holding the chemical dispenser therein, said tubular housing having a first end and a second end, said second end being closed, said first end having an enlarged retention means forming an enlarged generally arcuate loop for retaining the dispenser within said housing, wherein, the top of the actuator button is spaced a substantial distance form the apex of said arcuate loop to accommodate the insertion of a users finger intermediate the said arcuate loop and the top of said actuator button, and protective means associated with said arcuate loop and extending over the top along both sides of said actuator button for preventing the inadvertent activation of the spray nozzle of the chemical dispenser.
