ABSTRACT:
The apparatus of the invention can be used to deter attack by an assailant such as a person or animal. The apparatus includes a ring defining a cavity and a spray orifice communicating with the cavity. The apparatus also includes a canister removably fitted to the ring in the cavity, and a repellent substance contained in the canister under relatively high pressure relative to ambient. The canister defines a spray orifice, and has a valve stem movable to discharge the pressurized repellent substance from the canister and ring through respective aligned spray orifices defined therein. The apparatus also includes a safety movably mounted to the ring. The safety can be moved to a first position that blocks the valve stem to prevent movement of the valve stem so that accidental discharge of pressurized repellent substance from the canister is prevented. The safety also has a second position that frees the valve stem so that a user can depress the valve stem to discharge the repellent substance through the spray orifices of the canister and ring at an assailant. The safety can include ridges to provide a finger hold to move the safety. The apparatus can include a wedge that secures the canister in the ring so that the spray orifices of the ring and canister are aligned.
