Carrier for a portable dispenser

摘要

A carrier mounts an aerosol spray can on a backpack, a belt loop or the like. The carrier has a pair of downwardly depending skirts that are radially spaced from each other, and also has an upper connector section. There are two lower catches, one on each skirt, which snap onto the top of the can in opposed directions. There may also be a positive stop along an inner side of the outer skirt.

主权项

1. A carrier for a dispenser, the carrier comprising:
a housing having an outer downwardly depending skirt, and an inner downwardly depending skirt radially spaced inwardly from the outer downwardly depending skirt, and an upper connector section connecting the skirts, the upper connector section including an upper arch extending across the outer downwardly depending skirt; wherein a first lower catch on the inner downwardly depending skirt extends radially outwardly so as to be suitable to catch onto a first upper portion of the dispenser if a dispenser is positioned adjacent thereto; and wherein, if the first lower catch is coupled to the dispenser, axially pulling the housing relative to the dispenser can drive the first lower catch radially inwardly and thereby facilitate decoupling of the carrier from the dispenser; the carrier further comprising a second lower catch on the outer downwardly depending skirt extending radially inwardly so as to also be suitable to catch onto a second upper portion of the dispenser if the dispenser is positioned adjacent thereto; wherein, if the second lower catch is coupled to the dispenser, axially pulling the connector section relative to the dispenser can drive the second lower catch radially outwardly and thereby further facilitate decoupling of the carrier from the dispenser; the carrier further comprising a stop positioned on a radially inward side of the outer downwardly depending skirt, the stop being parallel with the outer downwardly depending skirt and extending downward from the connector section and terminating above the second lower catch to restrict downward movement of the housing relative to the dispenser by engaging the second upper portion of the dispenser; wherein a bottom surface of the first lower catch is adjacent a bottom surface of the stop.
