ABSTRACT:
A personal protection device is disclosed with a mixing area and mixing nozzle. A fluid container rests on a moveable container base having a nozzle which extends into the mixing area. The fluid container can be a two portion flexible ampule or a canister. A two part glowing fluid is used, which is mixed prior to expulsion from the device. An irritative substance is placed in one of the mirror image sections. A compression device is maintained in a non-compressed position when unarmed and is activated by a trigger and locking device. A battery receiving area is connected to the internal electronics, trigger, alarm and light. A moveable safety latch is proximate the trigger preventing access to the trigger when in the unarmed position and allows access when in the armed position. A safety cap is held in the unarmed position by a reset bar. A plug portion in the safety cap is dimensioned to fit within mixing area nozzle. By placing the safety laatch in the armed position and depressing trigger, the locking device is released. The compression device is activated, releasing the safety cap and expelling the contents of the container.
