Tela Mange | Jun 23, 2013 | Africa: Benin Special Olympics Texas athlete Deng Wei didn't grow up in Texas like many of our athletes. He is a refugee from war-torn Darfur, Sudan. As a child, Deng had to run for his life when his village was under attack. His family fled to a refugee camp and then to the U.S. in 2006. Deng is now 21 and lives happily in Houston with his mom, three brothers and one sister. He is proud to be graduating this June from Lee High School in the Houston Independent School District. Deng won two gold medals during the SOTX Summer Games. He ran the 1500m Run with a time of 4:53 and the 3000m Run with a time of 10:46. Deng also competes in traditional track competition for his high school and took home 3rd place in the bi-district track meet. Deng tells us that he loves sports, and plays soccer, basketball and bowling in addition to running track. Deng was inspiring to all that watched him on the track. He used to be forced to run for his life, but now tells us that he runs out of happiness.

Helmet Stops Aliens From Abducting Humans.

Thought Screen Helmet
Seeking Alien Abductees to test device that stops abductions
The Thought screen helmet is still being tested in the prevention and stoppage of abductions. The helmet does this by stopping telepathic communication between aliens and humans. . As of October 1999
about 40 abductees report success. The helmet is available free to abductees to test and keep. Hats for daywear which also stop abductions are also available for free.
Enclosed with this letter are case studies, testimonials and alien behaviorascertained from activity with people using the thought screen helmet.
Note in my case histories that I have three abductees in Australia with thought screen helmets, and that radio stations in Canada, Ireland, the UK, New Zealand and Australia have interviewed me. Abductions are reported in Australia and the UK as well as the United States.
Through the course of searching for abductees I found an interesting case in Ohio where a man claimed to be abducted by aliens other than grays. I wrote to two Ohio MUFON investigators who lived in the abductees vicinity asking them to further investigate but they did not reply.
The thought screen helmet is a leather hat with eight sheets of static control plastic, a carbon impregnated polyolefin. The leather hat merely holds the plastic sheets close to the head. This hat acts as an electromagnetic shield, a kind of Faraday Cage. It is called a helmet, not a hat because it is used for protection.
Webster defines a helmet as "a protective covering for the head. The thought screen helmet might be considered telepathic armour.
From the accounts of abductions I have read and discussed with abductees, I assumed that telepathy was used by aliens to communicate and immobilize abductees. I also assumed that telepathy is some kind of electromagnetic energy. There is nothing magical about what aliens do or what they are. They are not paranormal or interdimensional. They have very advanced technology and knowledge of the mind, but they are real creatures subject to real scientific laws. Ohms law for us, V = I X R, where volts equals current in amperes times the resistance in Ohms, is still Ohms law for the aliens. It does not change. Scientific laws are constants for the aliens as well as for humans.
A quote for Galileo Galilei is appropriate: I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use.
Indeed, the results of people using the though screen helmet confirm my
approach and Galileo wisdom. Aliens have very advanced knowledge but they are still real creatures. When aliens are deprived of their resources in abducting humans they become violent and vindictive which is hardly the behavior attributed to them by some investigators. There is no Passport to the Cosmos and there is no alien benefit for mankind. In my own research I find the aliens behave more like Nazis than anything else.
So far, the thought screen helmet is a success. Nobody has been abducted when they were wearing it. It is limited in its application, it must be worn
to work. Abductees are still taken when they are not wearing it. There seems to be a lag of a month or more in the aliens ability to discern when a helmet is being worn. I have three traumatized abductees I am working with who have worn their helmets almost 24 hours a day for over a year. Some people are afraid of ridicule so they feel awkward wearing a leather hat in public. Any type of hat that holds the Velostat around the head will work. One person used a ski hat and stuffed it with Velostat I sent to her. People feeling awkward can use an attractive large hat and put Velostat under it for an effective thought screen.
Although I have not hypnotized any abductees using the helmet, there is some criteria to determine if they are still being abducted. Almost all abductees using the helmet report:
1. Their dreams return to normal. Their nightmares cease and they can have restful sleep. Some of the abductees who state they are taken when not wearing the helmet still report they can rest adequately and feel safer with it.
2. Marks and scars on the body which appeared in the morning and sometimes disappeared several days later no longer occur.
3. They have no awareness of anything unusual around them. Many abductees report that they can sense the aliens before being abducted. With the helmet they no longer sense any danger. Only one person reported aliens present when she wore the helmet.
4. Previous experiences with aliens, lights or UFOs are gone. Abductees who have undergone several hypnotic sessions with qualified investigators
remember more about their abductions than those who have not.
5. In two cases abductees who forgot to wear their helmets one night were beaten in anger by alien-hybrids, which is definite proof that the aliens don´t like the helmet. One case of this is from an email report from a person who made their own helmet from directions on my website.
When my letter in the March, 2000 issue of the UFO Journal was published, it was read by a radio wire reporter. He asked me if I had success with the helmet and I said yes, but results were preliminary. He told me that my success was still a news story, so it was put over the radio wire.
As I result, I was interviewed by 82 radio stations, two television shows and the Fox news network. The radio stations were all over the U.S. including
Alaska, about five in Canada, two in Australia, two in New Zealand, two in the UK and one in Ireland. Initially about 40% of the radio interviewers
ridiculed me but some interesting things happened which contradict.
I gave out my home phone number on about 60 radio stations, right over the air. Some announcers warned me not to do this but I still need to recruit abductees to try the helmet so I did. As a result I received four phone calls in total! One was a man confusing aliens with psychic phenomena, two asked for UFO information, and one was from the husband of an abductee in Montana. I sent her a helmet and she said it worked. The Montana radio station took the interview seriously and so did the public. A week later they called me stating that they received many calls about UFOs in the area and asked if they could give my name and phone number out. I did but nobody called me.
The Government Conspiracy......
The success of the thought screen helmet may help explain why the US government has a cover-up. What other investigators do not understand is that all governments all over the world are powerless to stop the aliens. Until the thought screen helmet, the aliens could do anything they wanted to. In a tape on NASA videos of UFOs, What Do They Know? shows that UFOs are seen traveling in our atmosphere over 100,000 miles per hour! I attended a lecture at the University of California, Berkeley several years ago. It was determined that the take-off speed of a UFO was 10,000 miles per hour! In the 1970´s my mother talked with Air Force radar operators at the tracking station atop Mt. Tamalpias in Mill Valley, California. The operators tracked UFOs until their speed exceeded 25,000 miles per hour, at which time the operators could no longer track them!
One answer to all government cover-ups all over the world is they don´t have any way of stopping UFOs in their air space. There are some other answers but this is a very good reason. Until the thought screen helmet we were completely helpless.
The thought screen helmet provides a parameter for understanding the alien abduction phenomena. To repeat, I am an inventor, not an investigator. I have not conducted long term investigations into alien abductions. With over thirty years of experience in high technology, starting with the NASA Technology Utilization Program in 1970, my approach to the abduction mystery is more scientific than many investigators. Simply put, technology is not magic. Nothing the aliens do is magic, paranormal or supernatural. By demonstrating that the aliens use physical forces that can be understood and controlled, we gain more knowledge of their purpose, mode of operation and abduction technique. We get a better understanding of what they are and what their intentions are.
We can stop the aliens. There is nothing scary about science. The only scary thing is our own ignorance.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Miami's Fine By Jokinen
by George Malik on 02/05/07 at 10:04 AM ET
Comments (0)
from the Miami Herald:
In his six seasons with the Panthers, Olli Jokinen has seen his share of losing. On Saturday, he was part of the worst home loss in franchise history and is desperate to see some change.
Only, he doesn't want out.
''There's a reason I signed a four-year deal,'' said Jokinen, whose 613 games played without being in the playoffs is the most by an active NHL player.
''I want to be in the playoffs here, wearing this jersey,'' he said. ``Those reports aren't true. They're false. I don't want to go anywhere, I want to stay here. If I wanted to go somewhere and didn't believe in this program, I never would have signed that deal. I would have looked at other options in the summer.''

Article today's news, Wall St. Cheat Sheet (perhaps). While article discusses reckless use of unregistered iphones with the Army or Dept. of Defense is creating security issues (and also disposal of formerly registered phones that others acquire) -- article page 2 indicates the Army should consider banning Google Android phones completely since the open Android System is "inherently insecure" and more subject to "malware".
At $600 aapl would have a PE of 13.60. So, $600 would STILL value aapl less than the average stock in the S&P 500. For all longs (not traders)...it's just a matter of time. Patience is the key to success in investing.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Make sure you read article what it says about Google's Android system being "inherently insecure".

Day 2 of Packers training camp is underway but real-ish football doesn't start until tomorrow, when the pads go on for the first time since last season.
Mike McCarthy didn't specifically say Aaron Rodgers is on a pitch count but the Packers are definitely "conscious of how much Aaron's throwing the ball." The fifth preseason game will definitely benefit backup Brett Hundley.
Wind and lightning wrecked Redskins' practice goalposts this week. No FGs today. New goalposts for camp later this week are probable.
Veterans Sam Bradford and Chase Daniel are off today, as the rest of the Eagles vets report. Carson Wentz (11) and McLeod Bethel-Thompson are only two QBs practicing today.

Get him out of Kingsville and on another team and he'll be just fine. The kid can play. Unless you hate him just because you are a ute, then he is the worst and will end up in Europe...sound about right ute fans?

The Kings are one of the worst coached teams in the NBA and their talent proves it! While he is hot at shooting and playing good any player ought to be on the floor even if a star is sitting. Ferdette is in the wrong spot at the wrong time for the wrong team!

Dave Rose put together the perfect conditions for a player like Jimmer. At the
university level they play as a team. The players help and support each other,
unless one of them is an absolute jerk. At the pro level they are playing (to
win sure) for their jobs. If somebody is a threat they treat them differently.
They deny them the ball. Ridicule their play and call them a ball hog. That
largely goes away once the rest of the team has learned that a particular player
is there to stay, but not in transition.
My old high school basketball team took second in state (California, 1973). They played as a team and they returned all starters the next year. Expectations were through the roof.
Then something happened: They became fixated on race. The white players would not pass the ball to the black players and the black players did the same (I don't know who started it). They lost all but two games that year and they won those games by putting all white players in for one half and all black players in for the other half.
They killed themselves.
Free Jimmer!

I think Fredette can be successful on a team that needs a two-guard to stretch the floor. It looks like Keith Smart is trying to get him to play point-guard and set up inside plays to teammates like Cousins. That might be what the King's need but not what Jimmer is good at. I'm somewhat surprised they haven't traded him. He really isn't what this team needs but he'll do fine in another system.

Sacramento's coach is a fool. He doesn't know how to use Jimmer. Why? Because he is incompetent. Create an offense that is conducive for Jimmer and watch this team thrive. But no. He sits on the bench. He should demand a trade. Period.

Jimmer can play and anyone that says otherwise is either clueless, a BYU-hater
or both.
Now, am I saying that Jimmer Fredette will be a dominate NBA player like MJ, Kobe or LeBron James? Nope. But the guy can play, and "play" in the NBA, not just in some European league. He can have a good 5-7 year career. All he needs is confidence. Like ANYONE in ANY position in life, we ALL perform better when we believe in ourselves.
Keep shooting, Jimmer, and don't listen to the critics whose only connection to the NBA is the jersey they bought themselves at Christmas....

US firm says European datacentres will help partners win deals across strictly-regulated verticals
Cloud software provider NetSuite (NYSE: N) says building two European datacentres demonstrates its commitment to its customers and partners across the region.
The firm recently announced two new datacentres in Dublin and Amsterdam, which are expected to be operational later this year. It acknowledges the importance for some potential customers of storing their data within the EU – for some European customers, keeping their data within the region is a deal-breaker.
The location of stored data is also significant given the EU Court of Justice recently declared the EU-US Safe Harbour framework invalid.
Craig Sullivan SVP, enterprise & international products at NetSuite says the datacentres are "a tangible investment in our customers' and partners' businesses."
He tells Channel Pro: "The new datacentre locations provide a great opportunity for business expansion, giving us, and our partners, the ability to open up new territories, and vertical markets, allowing more great European brands to transform their business. Furthermore, they give us the opportunity to work with more mature and conservative partners and customers across the region – a huge benefit for all parties."
The company recently announced new UK customers Thames Tideway Tunnel and WHSmith, both serviced through Accenture, and Secrid through Dutch partner E-Litt.
It has also signed an agreement with Capgemini to be NetSuite's sole distributor in France.
"Europe represents one of NetSuite's largest growth opportunities," comments Zach Nelson, NetSuite CEO. "Our datacentres in Amsterdam and Ireland are proof of our continued strong commitment to our European customers," he says, adding that they are part of the firm's ongoing plan to bring more resources, focus, and investment to its European customers.

Exactly what I was looking for! I used fresh squeezed OJ and added about 1 c. of coconut milk because my blender needed more liquid to process everything. Super yummy!
Very good. My DD loved it. Will make again.
I enjoyed the velvety texture and flavor. I omitted the ice and honey. Thanks Laurie! Roxygirl
Thought I would try this one out for variety. My son said he liked it. Thank you for posting.
This was really delicious! I made it for breakfast this morning, one for myself and then my son had a taste and we made one for him too! I did use some honey, about 1 Tablespoon. This had a great consistancy too! Thanks! I will use this often!
I enjoyed this smoothie alot!!! I didn't use honey(It was fine without!) I also didn't use any ice cubes either. Other than that, I did everything else and came up with a delcious smoothie!!!! Thanks for the recipe LAURIE!
Delicious, even though I skipped the honey. I will be making this often as I always have all the ingredients for this recipe and is great for breakfast or anytime. Thanks for sharing!

One comment: in the context of the sub GOOD { BAD } example: remember that this is about creating vulnerabilities in code, not, "DOY I CAN'T PROGRAM'. I think from that perspective, they have a point. Remember that creating vulnerabilities isn't about good programming practice, but of taking advantage of possible weaknesses.

Few brands are as deeply tied to a particular bag structure as Chanel. The legendary Coco Chanel made shoulder bags acceptably chic for upper-crust ladies over half a century ago, and the brand has been closely tied to chain straps, quilted leather and flap closures ever since.
Bag Battles
Not every piece of fashion gets an official name, but handbags almost always do. Because bags are more consumer-centric than, say, ball gowns, naming a bag helps a design's fans latch onto it, discuss it amongst themselves (often on our PurseForum) and more easily reference it when shopping in stores or searching online.
The super-popular Chanel Boy Bag and the new-but-coveted Christian Dior Diorama Bag have a lot in common. The bags are both fairly new marquee additions to their respects brands' lines, likely intended to appeal to a younger audience that might find their respective' brands legacy offerings a little too ladylike.
Raf Simons' tenure at Dior has been a godsend for the brand's accessories department. The designer's handbag team churns out interesting pieces left and right, both new shapes and inventive takes on old favorites. The Christian Dior Lady Dior Bag is probably the oldest of these favorites, and it has a relatively new, modern competitor: the Christian Dior Diorissimo Bag.
Okay, guys, I've got a little secret for you: the Chanel 11.12 Flap Bag is basically just a Chanel Classic Flap Bag with chevron quilting instead of the brand's classic diamond pattern. It's branded as a whole new thing for Spring 2015, and while it does have some detail variations, it is, in a practical sense, basically the same.
In handbags, just like in soccer, there are certain superpowers who rarely face defeat. Just like Germany has steamrolled its way into Sunday's final of the actual World Cup (our sincere condolences to Brazil), the Chanel Boy Bag, whose allegiance we had attributed to Germany because of Karl Lagerfeld's birthplace, has risen to the top of the 2014 PurseBlog Handbag World Cup.
The US may have been eliminated from both our PurseBlog Handbag World Cup and the real one, but still we press on, undeterred. After all, a champion must be named. Today, you've shrunk our field to four remaining contestants, and now only you can choose which two will duke it out in the championship round.

, The invention of whlch't foll w ng is ay 1 for use in small metal containers-fromwhich'liqare the development of sprays ror'finsecticides. coatings and for the dispensing of fluent liquids, emulsions or mixed liquids and gases. 1
It is a prime consideration 111""13116 storage, transport and use of such materials that they be packaged in a light but pressure-resistant meta-l can, generally cylindrical. As a part of the container, there must be provided a valve which will withstand the ordinary pressure of the material in the container. However, it must be suitable for the ready discharge of the contents through a nozzle, jet or the like.
From a practical consideration, the assembly of the valve fitting in the container necessitates dering.
This, however, requires an elevated temperature which when applied to the completed assembled valve frequently injures the working parts such as the springs, composition valve seats and the like.
It is an object of our invention to provide a fitting which may be completely assembled after its outer portion has already been sealed by soldering to the end of a container.
A further object of our invention is to provide an engagement between the container end and part ofthe fitting which will maintain the parts in tight engagement without being clamped during the subsequent soldering operation.
A still further object of our invention is to provide an automatically tight" fit between the valve fitting and the aperture of the container.
Among the objects of our invention is theprovision of a fitting in which the valve partsare inserted in the housing and sealed therein after the housing has already been assembled with the container and solder sealed to the latter..
It will be evident thata further object of our invention is the design of a valve fitting which .will permit introduction of the liquid to the container through the valve parts themselves if so desired. In the alternative, the arrangement is such that the liquid contents of the container can be introduced in a quiescent state'through the housing of the non-assembled fitting-after which the valve parts may be inserted in the.
same manner as a stopperand finally theymay be fastened down or clamped inposition.
uids or gases may be dispensed'byreasonbf theirj own pressure conditions. Examplesot such. uses closure relatesto valve fittingsespeciallyadapted.
As illustrative of our invention, we have disclosed the preferred form thereof in the following description and shown it in the accompanyfling drawing representing a longitudinal, axial view of the completed valve fitting and the associated parts of the container.
the establishment of a tight seal usually by sol The valve'fitting is intended to be assembled with a sheet metal container I, which, for example, may have a concave top end 2. This top has a center aperture 3 generally circular in form. The top of the container immediately surrounding the aperture 3 has a depressed ledge 4 concentric with the concavity of the top.
A housing 5 is shown for the fitting. This is made of suitable metal having some slight degree of ductility made use of in its assembly with the valve parts. The housing has a generally tapering or conical outer surface. The upper edge of the housing is formed with a flange 6 extending laterally. This has a lower sloping face I of the same concavity as the adjacent ledge 4. In like manner the width of the fiange is slightly less than that of the ledge so that a small crevice is left in which molten solder is applied to form the seam 8.
The housing has an undercut groove 9 with a taper conforming to that of the side surface of the housing. A shoulder on edge 10 is thus rovided between the groove 9 and the tapering side of the shell 5. The depth of this shoulder may be slight and in the range of .01 inch.
One of the advantages of this design is that the housing 5 may be pressed down through the aperture 3 in the top 2 until the resilience of the top 2 permits passage of the shoulder ill. The parts are thus immovably held together during the subsequent soldering operation without additional clamping. Thus soldering can be carried out before the valve parts are inserted and damage to the latter avoided.
The housing 5 has a central chamber or cavity I I which is arranged axially and serves as a holder for the compression spring [2,
The bottom of the housing has an opening l3 in which an eduction tube I4 is firmly attached by swaging or the like.
The upper portion of the housing 5 has an enlarged or widened recess l5 coaxial with the concavity H. The upper edge of the housing adjacent the recess l5 has an upstanding lip or bead l6. Due to the ductility of the metal, this lip or head may be bent inwardly as shown in the drawing to act as a retainer for the assembled valve parts and exert a clamping pressure on the gasket 22 between adjacent faces 25 and 2G of the valve parts and thus form a tight seal between these two surfaces.
The valve proper I1 is in the form oi! a disk having an upstanding peripheral rim is. The valve is held up with appropriate force from the compression spring l2. Centrally, the valve has a vertical stem [9 which extends above the top of the housing 5.
The valve stem I9 is surrounded loosely by a sleeve 20 which has a snug fit against the side walls of the enlarged recess 15. The sleeve 20 has an axial bore 2|. A clearance oi! approximately .016 inch separates the valve stem from the sleeve so that liquid may be introduced through the valve parts or discharged therefrom with considerable rapidity. In the discharge, the clearance is also effective to thoroughly agitate the liquid and produce a swirling effect useful in the event the liquid has a volatile gas as a constituent.
The lower face of the sleeve 20 receives a gasket 22 which forms a valve seat. This is in engagement normally with the rim I8 01 the valve. The inner portion oi! the sleeve 20 is extended axially to form a collar 23 which may be peened down over the gasket to hold the same in place.
The upper end of the sleeve 20 has a central hollow boss 24 which is externally screw threaded. This boss provides a connection upon which a nozzle of appropriate design may be attached.
By the design and arrangement thus made, the valve housing may first be fitted into tight locking position in the aperture of the can top.
' It is then held in position without external means during the soldering operation.
After the housing has been soldered in place,
i the compression spring, valve and sleeve are inserted in the order named. The ductile bead or lip I6 is then bent inwardly to hold the sleeve against movement out of the housing. At the same time the bead retains the gasket 22 in compression for providing a positive seal between the housing and the sleeve.
The container may be filled with liquid through the open housing 5, suitable conditions of temperature and pressure being maintained to prevent ebullition.
Alternatively, the liquid may be forced inwardly under pressure through the open valve after the latter has been installed.
The can and its contents may then be stored or transported with or without the addition of a cap to the screw threaded boss 24.
When it is desired to dispense the contents,, the boss 24 is uncapped and a suitable thumb operated spray nozzle or jet attached as disclosed in the copending application of John Coyle and William F. Punte for patent filed March 20.
4 1946, Serial Number 655,864, now Patent No. 2,514,030, issued July 21. 1950. The operating means of the nozzle will then be used to depress the valve stem and open up the passagewa around the valve and through the clearance between the stem and the sleeve.
It will be apparent from the above that we have designed an improved and simplified valve fitting which may be installed with great ease in the course of its assembly. The finally as sembled fitting provides adequate seal for the contents, but ready means for its discharge.
While the preferred form or the invention has been set out by. way of example, it is possible to vary the structure in minor details of proportion and materials without departing from the invention as defined in the following claims.
What we claim is:
1. In combination with a fixed container end having an inner resilient edge, a valve housing having an end flange and a shallow peripheral groove adjacent the flange, said housing being proportioned to fit into the container end with the groove resiliently receiving and retaining the edge of the said end, and an upstanding lip on the inner upper edge of the housing adapted to be bent inwardly to lock a valve in the housing after the housing has been fitted into the container end and secured therein.
2. In combination with a fixed container end having an inner resilient edge, said end having a narrow depressed ledge surrounding the said edge. a valve housing having anend flange substantially as wide as said ledge and a shallow peripheral groove adjacent the flange, said housing being proportioned to fit in the container end with the groove resiliently receiving and retaining the said edge, and the flange resting on the said ledge, and a solder seal between the edge of the fiange and the portion of the end surrounding the ledge.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to dispensing of non-lethal gas, fluid chemical irritants, and like liquid material such as pepper spray, tear gas and the like. More particularly, the present invention relates to an improved cap arrangement that fits the top of a canister containing a chemical irritant liquid, wherein a frame attached to the top of the dispensing canister has a trigger that prevents removal of the canister from the frame. The trigger fires the canister to dispense its liquid contents when the trigger is pulled, urging the canister upwardly into engagement with the frame to activate the canister's valve and dispense its contents.
2. General Background of the Invention
There are a number of non-lethal liquids and gases that have been manufactured for self-defense purposes. Many of these non-lethal fluids are available in canister form. An example of such a non-lethal fluid is pepper spray which represents an excellent, non-lethal means of self defense.
One major drawback to the use of non-lethal fluids is that under duress, cylindrically shaped cans can be inadvertently discharged in the wrong direction. These cans do not provide any usable type of proper aiming device.
Some prior art designs have provided an aiming device in the shape of a pistol shaped frame. However, such devices can be complicated, having too many moving parts rendering them unacceptable.
Another problem that has plagued holders that receive a canister of non-lethal fluid is the orientation of the canister relative to the user's hand. Most devices are held in the user's hand in a generally vertical position which suffers from the problem of improper aim. Pistol shaped devices, flashlight shaped devices and night stick shaped devices have been proposed. However, these designs typically align the central longitudinal axis of the canister with the line of fire. In such a situation, the canister is improperly oriented for a full dispensing of its contents rendering use of the device ineffective in some situations.
Examples of aerosol can-type spray devices for discharging a chemical or fluid, non-lethal gas are shown in various patents. For example, the Bruckner Pat. No. 5,348,193 discloses an aerosol dispenser that comprises a body having an interior for holding an aerosol can. The body has a bottom portion with an opening therein that permits the insertion of the can into the interior in a first direction. A fastening end piece located on the bottom portion of the body holds the aerosol can within the interior and engages the body in a direction substantially orthogonal to the first direction of can insertion. In addition, the aerosol can may be inserted in a direction substantially parallel with the major axis of the body. The fastening end piece may have a lug which protrudes into the interior of the body when the fastening end piece has engaged the body, and the fastening end piece may engage the body by sliding into place. In one particular aspect, the aerosol dispenser is used for discharging a chemical repellant, such as tear gas.
Other patents that show generally the concept of an anti-personnel device using non-lethal gas or fluid include the Bordelon Pat. No. 4,044,922; the Morris Pat. No. 4,223,804; the Fox Pat. No. 4,402,430; the Potter Pat. No. 4,301,947; the Mariol Pat. No. 4,449,474; the Wilkerson Pat. No. 4,511,062; and the Hackett Pat. No. 5,088,624.
The Ciammitti et al. Pat. No. 5,366,118 discloses a holder for an aerosol canister. The holder has a housing and a cap. The cap receives the valve stem of the canister, and when depressed will discharge the contents of the canister at a discharge nozzle in the cap. An annular locking ring has a projection in which one position prevents the cup from being pressed downwardly relative to the housing. The '118 patent discloses (FIG. 3) a canister that is generally cylindrically shaped having an upper valve 18 with a valve stem 16 that communicates with a nozzle 15. Pressurized fluid contained within the canister is released at the nozzle when the stem or plunger is depressed causing the valve to open.
The Parsons Pat. No. 5,509,581 discloses a chemical irritant dispenser that includes an in line nozzle, chemical canister and actuator, whereby the dispenser may be held in the palm of the hand with the actuator between the thumb and forefinger and the nozzle at the heel of the hand, the dispenser further including a safety lock at the actuator end, the safety lock configured to be moved between the latched and unlatched positions by an upward movement of the thumb and the actuator configured to be operated by a forward movement of the thumb, without repositioning the dispenser in the hand.
The Ames Pat. No. 5,901,723 discloses a security cane with pepper spray dispenser. In the '723 patent, a pepper spray canister is mounted in the tubular bore of a cane or walker leg or handle, which is actuated by a trigger mounted adjacent, or in, the handle after release of a safety interlock. Several embodiments are shown, both with the canister in the handle or remote therefrom, and wherein the spray can exit the base (tip) of the cane leg or adjacent the handle. One embodiment comprises a trigger interlock button sleeve mountable at the top of the leg with the canister, actuable by a rod passing down the leg, located adjacent the lower end of the leg. Other embodiments include a straight, T-shaped or L-shaped handle which houses the canister. Several trigger mechanisms are shown: first at the rear juncture of the handle and leg; at the forward juncture thereof; or on the forward top surface of the handle.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,397,029 discloses a personal protection device which utilizes a pressurized canister of non-lethal gas. The device comprises a barrel for holding the canister, a trigger, and a handle for holding and aiming the device. The device has a handgun shape. In the preferred embodiment, the barrel pivots for quickly loading and unloading. A compartment is provided in the handle for storing a spare cartridge. A safety is disclosed to prevent inadvertent discharge of the device.
Prior art devices for spraying chemical irritants such as pepper spray are typically either too complicated, too costly or ineffective. Some devices have canisters that are horizontally aligned with the barrel, thus only utilizing about half of the contents of necessarily small canisters.
In some devices, spraying downwards (for example, if an intruder is coming upstairs) is impossible. Many devices are so configured that only small, one ounce cans are practicable, prohibiting use by major law enforcement and government agencies. Other problems that have plagued such apparatus include dripping and fogging.
The present invention provides an improved pistol shaped cap arrangement for use on chemical irritant spray canisters such as pepper spray cans. The apparatus includes a cap, trigger and safety that can all be produced in the same injection mold. Assembly is completed using only a pin for assembling the trigger to the cap or body and a screw for attaching the safety to the cap or body. The apparatus includes a standard, cylindrically shaped can or canister that fits into a cavity of the cap or body in a near to vertical position that allows utilization of substantially all of the contents of the canister.
Opening and closing of a valve on the canister facilitates acceleration from and deceleration to zero liquid speed.
Depending upon the quickness of the valve operation, more or less liquid residue is deposited at the nozzle around zero speed. This deposit of liquid residue occurs because of capillary force at the nozzle, depending upon change of temperatures and barometric pressures.
When liquid is expelled through a nozzle of the canister, turbulence is in the wall area of the cap or body lead to mist surrounding the liquid stream which can easily effect the user, especially in wind conditions. These above problems are eliminated by the insertion of a foam sleeve into the barrel. This sleeve is preferable of a non-oil degradable absorbent material which catches droplets and mist. Over time, the oil evaporates, but the pepper is retained.
A lanyard cavity is generally cylindrically shaped so that it can be used to accept a small tube of decontamination lotion.
The canisters are inserted while the safety is engaged. The trigger is mounted to the cap or body, with a rearwardly extending portion that dips under the crimp of the can. Discharge occurs when the safety is disengaged and the trigger is pulled. The can or canister then rebounds under internal valve spring force. The canister or can cannot slip out of its cavity in the cap or body, as the trigger rebound stop touches the frame when the a canister is attempted to be separated.
Smoothness of action is facilitated by friction reduction rails. The cap or body is preferably molded from an orange plastic material to signal the presence of a non-lethal device.
For a further understanding of the nature, objects, and advantages of the present invention, reference should be had to the following detailed description, read in conjunction with the following drawings, wherein like reference numerals denote like elements and wherein:

FIGS. 1-5 show the preferred embodiment of the apparatus of the present invention, designated generally by the numeral 10 in FIGS. 1-4. Irritant dispensing apparatus 10 can be used to dispense non-lethal fluid chemical irritants such as pepper spray, tear gas, etc. The apparatus 10 includes a frame 11 having a handle 12 to be gripped by a user, and a barrel 13 to be pointed in the direction of an assailant. Handle 12 has a socket 14 that is receptive of canister 20. Canister 20 is a commercially available fluid containing canister that carries a non-lethal chemical irritant such as pepper spray, tear gas, mace, or the like.
Handle 12 includes a front handle section 15 (FIG. 4) and a rear handle section 16. Each handle section 15, 16 carries a pair of spaced apart rails 17. The rails 17 are positioned at concave surface 18 of front handle section 15 and at concave surface 19 of rear handle section 16.
Canister 20 is preferably cylindrically shaped having a cylindrical side wall 21, a generally flat circular bottom surface 22, and an upper end portion 23. The upper end portion 23 includes a frustoconical section 24 and an annular rib 25 that can be a crimped portion for connecting a valving member 27 to the frustoconical section 24. An annular recess 26 is provided in between frustoconical section 24 and annular rib 25. Upon assembly of the trigger 30 to frame 11, rear projecting portion 34 of trigger 30 engages annular recess 26 to secure canister 20 to frame 11. Valve 27 is a part of canister 20, providing a stem 28 and dispensing outlet 29. In FIGS. 1 and 2, trigger 30 is pivotally attached to frame 12 at pivot pin 31 in order to secure canister 20 to frame 12. Once trigger 30 and pivot pin 31 are assembled to frame 12, canister 20 cannot be removed.
Pivot pin 31 is so positioned on frame 12 and trigger 30 is so configured that the rear projecting portion 34 of trigger 30 engages recess 26 of canister 20 to prevent removal of canister 20 from frame 11. In the assembled position, downward movement of canister 20 results in annular rib 25 engaging rear projecting portion 34 of trigger 30, attempting to rotate trigger 30 about pivot pin 31. However, stop 33 prevents such rotation as the stop 33 engages bottom surface 54 of barrel 13.
Upon assembly of the apparatus 10, only upward movement of canister 20 is permitted. Upward movement is permitted when trigger 30 is pulled rearwardly by a user. To fire the apparatus 10, a user grips the handle 20, using the index or trigger finger of the user's hand to pull trigger 30 at gripping surface 32 (see FIG. 3A).
A coil spring 55 is positioned in between canister 20 and annular surface 56. The annular surface 56 surrounds transverse dispensing channel 38 as shown in FIG. 3A. Spring 55 normally pushes canister 20 downwardly relative to frame 11 and into a non-firing position. The user applies pressure to gripping surface 32 of trigger 30 in order to overcome the spring 55 and move canister 20 upwardly to a firing position. When the user depresses the trigger 30 and rotates trigger 30 in the direction of arrow 57, the canister 20 moves upwardly so that valve stem 28 of canister 20 engages annular shoulder 41.
Annular shoulder 41 is defined by the change in diameters between smaller diameter section 40 and larger diameter section 39 of transverse dispensing channel 38. When the canister 20 is moved upwardly, valve stem 28 engages annular shoulder 41. Continued upward movement of canister 20 causes the valve stem 28 to move downwardly with respect to canister 20 opening the valve 27. When valve 27 is opened, the contents of canister 20 are dispensed through dispensing outlet 29 and into transverse dispensing channel 38.
The dispensing channel 38 forms an angle of about 120 degrees with the central longitudinal axis 43 of bore 35 of barrel 13. The bore 35 communicates with conical section 36 and smaller diameter section 37 as shown in FIG. 2. When the contents of canister 20 are dispensed from valve 27 into channels 38 and 37, the contents are directed into the larger diameter section 35 of barrel 13 and travel a distance in front of barrel 13. The contents are dispensed typically a distance of about 10-26 feet.
Trigger guard 42 is provided for preventing inadvertent operation of trigger 30. In the preferred embodiment, canister 20 has a central longitudinal axis 44 that forms an angle of about 120 degrees with the central longitudinal axis 43 of bore section 35.
Safety 45 prevents inadvertent firing of the apparatus 10. In the safety position of FIGS. 1 and 7, the safety 45 is rotated so that corner 49 engages the upper surface 50 of annular rib 25. Safety 45 is pivotally attached to frame 11 at pivot opening 46, using assembly screw 47. In FIG. 7A, the safety 49 is rotated forward (see arrow 58) to the firing position.
A lanyard opening 48 can be provided at the rear of frame 11 generally opposite barrel 13. Opening 48 can be used to store a decontamination canister containing a decontamination liquid.
Larger diameter section 35 of the bore of barrel 13 is provided with a cylindrically shaped hollow open ended foam sleeve 51 having bore 52 and outer surface 53. The sleeve 51 absorbs any residual chemical irritant that remains in channels 38 or 37 after the apparatus 10 is fired. A butt plate 59 can be used to cover the bottom 22 of canister 20. Butt plate 59 attaches to handle 12 with locking tabs 60.
