Portable carrier for aerosol containers

A portable container carrier for housing aerosol containers and other articles having disposed on one end portion thereof an actuatable or removable cap. The portable carrier includes generally a housing member having a first cover member slidably coupled to a first end portion of the housing member, and a second cover member slidably coupled to a second end portion of the housing member. The cover members are movable relative to the housing member between an opened position and a closed position, wherein the aerosol container caps are enclosed within the carrier by the cover members in the closed position, and wherein the aerosol container caps protrude through apertures of the cover members in the opened position so that the containers are accessible without having to detachably remove the cover members from the housing member, and the containers are accessible and useable without having to remove the containers from the carrier.

Portable carrier for aerosol containers and method therefor

A fastener particularly adapted for securing an end of a cord in an opening in an object comprises a cylindrical shaped body. Extending through the fastener body is a passageway to hold an end of the cord, for example. In practice, the fastener preferably is made of plastic allowing the fastener to be molded onto the cord. Projecting outwardly on an angle from an inner end of the fastener body is an ear. Because the cord, the fastener ear, or both are flexible, the fastener ear and cord may be pressed into alignment. Once aligned, the fastener and cord end may be threaded through the opening in the object with the ear then returning to its prior nonaligned position. The cord is prohibited from being drawn back through the opening by an interference fit between the fastener ear and the object.
