Abstract:
An spray shield for an aerosol canister. Embodiments include a shield body constructed of a flexible sheet material. The shield body can generally define an arc of a circular ring and present a fixation mechanism, wing slots, and notches. The shield body can be rolled to form a frustum of a cone having a wide front opening and a narrower rear opening including a cutout. The shield body can be removably fixed in a conic configuration through engagement of tabs and tab slots. A retaining clip can comprise a semi-circular head adjoined by legs which meet wings at neck portions. In use, retaining clip can be engaged around a collar of an aerosol canister. Assembled shield body can be removably affixed to canister via retaining clip. Spray shield can direct particulate aerosol matter sprayed from a canister in a forward direction, and provide protection from environmental or other factors.
