Benefits of technology

"The patent describes a scabbard for a baton that has a receiver for holding the baton, a belt clip, and a socket head screw. The scabbard is designed to securely hold the baton and comfortably attach it to a belt. The socket head screw has a large diameter socket head and a small diameter socket head recess that extends through the socket head and into the shaft of the screw. This design allows for easy gripping and comfortable wearing of the baton."

Problems solved by technology

While Parsons is effective, it is also relatively complex to construct.

Embodiment Construction

[0018]FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of a low-profile support structure (e.g., a baton scabbard) 10 shown generally in accordance with an illustrated embodiment of the invention. Also shown in FIG. 1 is a baton 12 (shown in phantom) disposed within the scabbard 10.

[0019] The scabbard 10 includes a baton receiver 14 and a belt clip assembly 16. The receiver 14 is constructed of a relatively thin, lightweight tubular body 18 (FIG. 5) that is substantially continuous in the axial and annular directions. The tubular body 18 may be fabricated of any appropriate light weight material (e.g., plastic, delrin, acetel, polycarbonate, etc.).

[0020] The upper portion of the tubular body 18 (adjacent the belt clip assembly 16) may be provided with a slanted top 19 (FIG. 5). The slanted top 19 may be slanted downward on an outside of the receiver 14 from horizontal by some appropriate angle 17 (e.g., eight degrees) to facilitate easy insertion of the baton 12 into the scabbard 10.

Abstract

A scabbard is provided for a baton. The scabbard includes a baton receiver that receives the baton, a belt clip coupled to the baton receiver and a socket head screw having a socket head and a shaft that attaches the belt clip to the baton receiver. The socket head screw includes the socket head having a relatively large diameter compared to a diameter of the shaft and a socket head recess disposed in the socket head, said socket head recess having a relatively small diameter compared to a diameter of the shaft of the socket head screw, said socket head recess extending through the socket head and extending into the shaft of the socket head screw.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The field of the invention relates to scabbards for police batons and more particularly to attachment devices for assembling scabbards used to carry batons. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Police and security personnel are often required to carry weapons of intermediate force such as nightsticks or batons. Batons are available in a variety of sizes, usually consisting of three telescoping sections. In the retracted position, an expandable baton is only approximately one-third of its extended length. [0003] In order for a baton to be of maximum utility to the officer or other baton user, it should be able to be carried by the officer at all times while on duty, and without interfering with the mobility of the officer when it is not needed. On the other hand, the baton must be able to be quickly deployed by the officer whenever needed. [0004] When not in use, batons are usually carried in a scabbard that may be attached to a waist belt of the officer. ...
