- a canister receiving member having a cavity having a longitudinal axis and of a size sufficient to receive therein a bottom portion of said canister;
- a strap mechanism, attachable about the wrist of a user, and in functional connection with said canister receiving member in a manner such that when said strap mechanism is attached about the wrist of a user said longitudinal axis of said cavity is oriented along an exterior portion of the forearm said user; and
- a single elongated support strap having a first end in functional connection at a single point with said canister receiving member and ending at a second end; said second end formed with a loop for attaching said second end to a hand of said user in a manner such that said support strap acts to prevent said canister receiving member from sliding toward the elbow of a user when said strap mechanism is attached about the wrist of a user.
