  • Patent number: 4957260
    Abstract: A unitary mounting bracket for a gas-pressurized canister. The canister includes a paste to be dispensed onto an elongated object, and at its top end includes an elongated nipple actuator extending along the longitudinal axis of the canister. Movement of the actuator causes the paste to be dispensed from the tip of the actuator. The bracket has an elongated base which extends along a first longitudinal axis and has a spring portion and a pair of arms to support the canister along a second longitudinal axis parallel to the first longitudinal axis. The bracket also has a ring portion connected by a flexible arm to the base at a point below the arms. The ring portion defines an aperture which is disposed along the second longitudinal axis and the nipple actuator extends through the aperture when the canister is positioned in the base.
