Abstract: A case for securing an aerosol canister, including a body, including, a lateral wall having a top edge and a bottom edge, and a bottom wall connected to the lateral wall proximate the bottom edge, and an attachment means engageable with the bottom wall.

Abstract: A case for securing an aerosol canister, including a body, including a first lateral wall having a first top edge and a first bottom edge, a bottom wall connected to the first lateral wall proximate the first bottom edge, and at least one cutout arranged in the first lateral wall proximate the first top edge, and a cap connected to the body, including a nozzle in fluid contact with a stem of the aerosol canister, and at least one gusset arranged to engage the at least one cutout, wherein in an unlocked position, the cap is displaceable in a first axial direction relative to the body to dispense the contents of the aerosol canister out of the nozzle, and in a locked position, the cap is not displaceable in the first axial direction.

Abstract: A collar clip for securing an aerosol canister, including a collar arranged to engage the aerosol canister, including a top, a bottom, a first outward facing surface, a first inward facing surface, and a notch arranged proximate the top and extending radially outward from the first outward facing surface, and a clip, including a first end connected to the collar, a second end, a second inward facing surface, and a second outward facing surface.

Abstract: A clip cap assembly for securing an aerosol canister, including a cap having a top, a lateral side connected to the top and having a radially inward facing surface arranged to engage the aerosol canister, an opening, and a first flange extending downwardly from the top and forming a first surface in the opening, and a clip, including an arm having a first end and a second end, and a plug extending from the second end and engaged in the opening, the plug having a second surface arranged proximate the first surface, and a prong including a top surface, a bottom surface, and an end surface.

Abstract: A pivot-spring assembly for dispersing contents from an aerosol canister, comprising a cover having an opening, a lid having at least one arm, a pivot-spring operatively arranged in the cover to rotatably secure the lid to the cover, and an actuator having a nozzle and non-rotatably secured on the pivot-spring. The actuator operatively arranged to engage a stem of the aerosol canister and disperse contents from the aerosol canister. The pivot-spring comprises a flexible tongue having an elongated slot, at least one lid tab operatively arranged to at least partially enclose the at least one arm, at least one dowel, and at least one guide, wherein the flexible tongue, the at least one lid tab, the at least one dowel, and the at least one guide are vertically arranged on a flange.

Abstract: A bushing for insertion into a cylindrical opening is disclosed having a first radius, the bushing comprising a cylindrical base having a top surface, an axial bore through the base, a plurality of walls extending axially from the top surface of the base to a first axial extent and circumscribing the bore, a plurality of locking fingers extending axially from the base and circumscribing the bore alternatingly with the plurality of walls, the plurality of locking fingers extending axially to a second axial extent less than the first axial extent and each locking finger having a tapered outer surface tapering outward from the base, wherein the plurality of locking fingers compress toward the bore when a force is applied to the tapered outer surface. A collar assembly is also disclosed utilizing the bushing to permanently lock the collar to a container such as an aerosol container.

Abstract: A spring mechanism comprising a spring element having a pair of arms separated by a gap, a tapered flexible tongue with an enlarged tip, and a tapered slot extending longitudinally through the tongue, wherein the tapered flexible tongue is operatively arranged to bend such that the tip enters the gap and engages the pair of arms. A case for a canister capable of dispelling material is also disclosed using the spring mechanism to bias a lid in a closed position.

Abstract: The present invention broadly comprises an actuator assembly for an aerosol container in which a collar is attached to the aerosol container and substantially encloses an actuator. The actuator is functionally attached to an aerosol valve and includes slots that contact a plurality of guide rails attached to the inner surface of the collar as well as a passage from the valve to a nozzle shaped opening. When the actuator is pushed down, the downward movement is controlled by the interaction of the slots with the guide rails. Also provided is a cover that guards against accidental force being applied to the actuator.

Abstract: A combined holder for keys and protective spray consisting of a casing having a tubular body portion and a first end having an aperture therein for receiving a key ring and a second end having a flap with a fastener thereon, and an opening between the flap and the body portion to permit spray to emanate from the nozzle of a container held in the body portion when the container is actuated by pressing the flap.

Abstract: A holster belt comprising an elongated belt member for encircling the waist of the wearer, band means, converging lines of stitching for fastening a band of substantially the same width as the belt member to the inside of the belt member to define a pocket for receiving a side arm therein, one of the lines of stitching being curved to provide a concave depression for the trigger guard of the side arm, and an adjustable buckle mounted on the end of the belt for varying the circumferential position of the pocket on the wearer.
