Abstract
A carrier assembly facilitates the carrying (e.g. by a hiker) of a dispenser for materials such as insect repellents. There are two housings that couple together to form a sealed vault for storing the dispenser between uses. There is also a connector section of one housing in the form of a clip for mounting the housing structure on a backpack or belt loop. A sealing sleeve and a locking sleeve cooperate with the vault to achieve quick opening of the housing parts when desired, without compromising sealing between openings of the vault.
