Problems solved by technology

The problem with any of the mechanisms for preventing unwanted discharge is that such mechanisms severely hinder the ability to produce the spray container quickly from its storage position.
With holsters having a safety cover flap, the use of the flap type holster arrangement does not enable the spray container to be produced as quickly as it is necessary.
The short coming of such a release mechanism is that the side buttons may accidentally be depressed.
In addition, such mechanisms require several parts, increasing manufacturing costs.
The short coming of such twisting release mechanisms is that the twisting motion may take additional time in an emergency situation to ensure that the canister is twisted in the correct direction and with sufficient rotation.
Accidental release from the holster is also possible if the user slides or rubs against a surface causing the canister to twist.

Abstract

A holster for a pepper spray canister includes a holster body, a trigger pivotably attached to the holster body for movement between a latching position and a release position and a biasing mechanism attached to the holster body and in operative engagement with the canister to eject the canister from the holster body when the trigger is moved to the release position. When the trigger is in the latching position, the trigger is directly engaged with the canister and the canister is retained within the holster body against a force of the biasing mechanism.
