Sling Case

Fire extinguishers are found in a wide variety of locations from school hallways to the storage shelves of fire engines. These ubiquitous pieces of equipment are filled with either chemicals or water to combat different types of fires and have retained the same form factor over the years. Fire fighters use extinguishers very often to put out small room fires but the unwieldy weight and uncomfortable handle are not suited well for carrying long distances or frequent use. The Sling Case addresses both of these issues with a shoulder strap for more balanced carrying and a hose-like handle mechanism for releasing the extinguisher contents.
