Personal defense sprayer device

#1. Field of the Invention

#The present invention relates to personal defense devices and more particularly pertains to a new personal defense sprayer device for projecting a spray of chemicals.

#2. Description of the Prior Art

#The invention will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:

#FIG. 1 is a schematic side view of a new personal defense sprayer device according to the present invention.

#FIG. 2 is a schematic side view of the present invention with the hand flexed back to cause the actuation of the spray actuator.

#With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIGS. 1 through 5 thereof, a new personal defense sprayer device embodying the principles and concepts of the present invention and generally designated by the reference numeral 10 will be described.

#As best illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 5, the personal defense sprayer device 10 generally comprises a container 12 designed for holding a chemical defense liquid 5 within its interior with a spray actuator 14 in fluid communication with the interior of the container 12. An actuator strap 22 and a wrist attachment member 30 function as an attachment means for attaching the personal defense sprayer device 10 to a hand 1 such that the spray actuator 14 is actuated to project a spray of the chemical defense liquid 5 when the hand 1 is unclenched and the back of the hand is flexed back towards the forearm 3.

#The actuator strap 22 is preferably elongated and flexible. At one end of the actuator strap 22 is a finger attachment ring 24 designed for insertion of a finger 4 to help hold the personal defense sprayer device 10 to the palm 2. The actuator strap 22 is looped and inserted through a mounting bore 13 in the container 12 so that the other end of the actuator strap 22 is coupled to the spray actuator 14 and looped about a looping ring 26.
