US12611027 - Bear spray canister carrying and deployment device
A bear spray canister carrying and deployment device for retaining a bear spray canister which integrates ergonomic positioning, single-hand operation and an optimized deployment angle which can facilitate a rapid response by a user without removing a bear spray canister from the carrying and deployment device. The carrying and deployment device can be in the form of an ergonomic armband sleeve or a compression sleeve to be worn on a user's forearm. When a bear spray canister is secured within a retaining pouch affixed to the carrying device, ergonomically spaced and positioned relative to the user's hand, wrist, and forearm. This positioning allows for the natural and efficient deployment with minimal hand movement and with the use of only one hand. Moreover, the spacing and positioning enhances accessibility and ease of activation, ensuring quick response time in self-defense situations without removal of the canister from the carrying device.
