Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a holster, and more particularly to a holster having a latching device for securing a handgun within the holster. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, a holster equipped with a latch device has been disclosed, for example, in Patent Document 1. Fig. 12 shows the conventional holster disclosed in Patent Document 1.

[0003] The holster shown in FIG. 12 had a quick release latch mechanism that included a lever 43 with an engagement end 42 having a locking surface 45 for retaining the handgun and a thumb button end 44. The engagement end 42 had an engagement surface 45 for engaging the trigger guard to retain the handgun in the holster. An outer wall 47 prevented the engagement end from contacting the trigger of the handgun by limiting the distance the handgun could be inserted into the holster. Support wall 48 and guide wall 49 facilitated alignment of the trigger guard and locking surface by limiting lateral movement of the lever. The quick release operation was achieved by moving a spring-loaded tongue 41 outward beyond the locking point when the thumb button end 44 was pressed.

[0004] This allows the holster to hold the handgun in place while it is inserted, and allows the handgun to be quickly removed from the holster 40 when it is removed. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] U.S. Patent No. 5,918,784 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] However, because the holster must hold the handgun without any rattle even when the wearer moves violently, there was a problem in that a dedicated holster had to be made for each model of handgun.

[0007] The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and its purpose is to provide a holster that can hold a handgun without rattling inside, even if the handgun is of a slightly different size or other model. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] The holster of the present invention is for storing a handgun having a trigger and a trigger guard, and comprises a holster body that stores everything except the grip of the handgun, a front spring-type protrusion located in a position that abuts the muzzle side of the trigger guard of a handgun inserted into the holster body, a pair of side spring-type protrusions that are located to sandwich both sides of the trigger guard when the trigger guard abuts the front spring-type protrusion and expand and contract to match the width of the abutting trigger guard, and a latch device that has an engagement pawl that engages with the muzzle-side inner surface of the trigger guard to prevent movement in the direction of drawing the handgun, a release lever that releases said engagement, and a pivot located between the engagement pawl and the release lever, and is characterized in that when the handgun is inserted, the front spring-type protrusion and the engagement pawl sandwich the muzzle-side portion of the trigger guard, and the pair of side spring-type protrusions expand and contract to match the width of the trigger guard to sandwich the sides from both sides.

[0009] According to this, the holster of the present invention restricts all movement of the handgun in the insertion / removal direction, left / right direction, and rotational direction around the insertion / removal direction as the central axis, so even if there are multiple models of handguns with slightly different shapes and sizes, as long as the handgun's movement in the up / down direction is restricted by the holster body, it can be fixed without rattling in any direction. In addition, the front spring-loaded protrusions and side spring-loaded protrusions are expandable, so even if the trigger guard of a model has a slightly different size or shape, the trigger guard can be clamped and fixed, making it possible to hold the stored handgun without it rattling.

[0010] In addition, the holster of the present invention further has a bottom surface spring-type protrusion on the inner surface of the holster body that abuts against the bottom surface of the trigger guard when the trigger guard is in contact with the front surface spring-type protrusion and expands and contracts in response to pressure from the bottom surface.

[0011] With this, the bottom spring-loaded convex portion expands and contracts to push up the bottom of the trigger guard of the handgun, while the top surfaces of the handgun's cylinder, barrel, etc. come into contact with the holster, thereby clamping and fixing the handgun from above and below. Therefore, even in the case of a handgun whose cylinder does not fit into the holster body, the fixation of the muzzle side portion and side of the trigger guard can prevent rattling in all directions: the insertion / removal direction of the handgun, up / down direction, left / right direction, and rotational direction around the insertion / removal direction as the central axis.

[0012] In addition, the side spring-type protrusion of the holster of the present invention is located closer to the muzzle than the tip of the trigger when the target handgun model is stored, and the bottom spring-type protrusion is located closer to the opening of the holster body than the side spring-type protrusion.

[0013] This prevents the trigger of the stored handgun from coming into contact with the side spring-loaded protrusions of the holster. In addition, the bottom spring-loaded protrusions keep the trigger guard at a specified height, so the side spring-loaded protrusions can securely fasten the sides of the trigger guard, allowing for safe and secure storage of handguns other than the intended model without rattle. [Effects of the Invention]

[0014] According to the present invention, even if a plurality of models of handguns having slightly different sizes are used, the handguns can be stored in one holster without rattle. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0016] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0017] (Embodiment 1) FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a state in which a handgun is stored in a holster according to this embodiment, with the inserted handgun portion indicated by a broken line.

[0018] In FIG. 1, a holster 10 has a latch device 20 attached to a holster body 11 that houses a portion of a handgun 30 except for a grip 31.

[0019] Furthermore, the cylinder holding portion 12 of the holster body 11 is molded to fit the cylinder shape of the handgun to be stored, which in this embodiment is a revolver.

[0020] 2(a) and (b) are diagrams illustrating the inner surface of cylinder holding portion 12 of holster body 11. Stoppers 14, 15 are attached to the top and bottom, and also to the left and right inner surfaces, so that the cylinder portion 34 of the handgun to be stored fits into this cylinder holding portion 12. This restricts the movement of the stored handgun in the up and down and left and right directions (widthwise). Cylinder holding portion 12 fits loosely with cylinder 34 to make it easy to insert and remove the handgun from holster 10.

[0021] The window 13 is also opened at a position where a latch device 20, which will be described next, is to be attached. 3A and 3B are perspective views of the latch device 20, with FIG. 3A being a perspective view seen from the operating surface side of the release lever 22, and FIG. 3B being a perspective view seen from the mounting surface side to the holster body.

[0022] 3(a) and 3(b), the latch device 20 comprises a latch base 21, a release lever 22, an engagement portion 23, a leaf spring 25, and a pivot 24. The release lever 22 and the engagement portion 23 are integral, and an engagement claw 231 is attached to the tip of the engagement portion 23 on the side opposite to the operating surface of the release lever 22.

[0023] The latch base 21 supports a pivot 24 parallel to the mounting surface of the holster body 11, and the release lever 22 and the engaging portion 23 as a unit can swing around the pivot 24.

[0024] Furthermore, this engagement claw 231 has an insertion hole, and tongue piece 251 of leaf spring 25 affixed to the mounting surface of latch base 21 is inserted into the insertion hole of engagement claw 231 as shown in FIG. 3(b). This leaf spring 25 is made of stainless steel and has a plate thickness of 0.2 mm. This constantly urges engagement claw 231 toward the inside of the holster body, maintaining a state in which engagement claw 231 protrudes inward from window 13 of holster body 11. On the other hand, when the operating surface of release lever 22 is pressed down, engagement claw 231 is lifted while deforming tongue piece 251 of leaf spring 25.

[0025] Furthermore, the pivot side of the engaging claw 231 is tapered toward the tip, and the opposite side is a vertical surface. Therefore, when a force parallel to the mounting surface of the latch base 21 is applied to the inclined surface of the engaging claw 231, the engaging claw 231 rotates around the pivot 24 and rises toward the latch base 21, but when pressure is applied parallel to the mounting surface with respect to the vertical surface, the pivot 24 resists the pressure and the engaging claw 231 remains in that position.

[0026] FIG. 4 is a perspective view with a portion cut away to illustrate the inside of the holster.

[0027] In Figure 4, trigger guard fixing member 12 for fixing the trigger guard of a handgun is attached to the inside bottom surface of holster body 11. Also, engagement claw 231 of engagement portion 23 attached to latch base 20 (not shown) is inserted into the interior through window 13 of the holster body in the steady state as described above.

[0028] This trigger guard fixing member 12 is formed with a front spring-type protrusion 121 and a pair of side spring-type protrusions 122a, 122b. This trigger guard fixing member 12 is made of flexible polyamide, and the front spring-type protrusion 121 can be deformed by being pushed in by up to about 2 millimeters when pressure is applied from the insertion direction of the handgun, and returns to its original position when the pressure is released.

[0029] In addition, the front spring-type protrusion 121 is located forward of the engaging claw 231 (toward the back of the holster) so that it can pair with the engaging claw 231 to clamp the trigger guard of the inserted handgun, and the height of the center of the front spring-type protrusion 121 is at the same position as the height of the center of the engaging claw 231.

[0030] The pair of side spring-type protrusions 122a, 122b can be deformed by being pressed and widened up to a maximum of approximately 2 mm each, for a total of approximately 4 mm, and will return to their original position when pressure is released.

[0031] In addition, the pair of side spring-type protrusions 122a, 122b expand and contract to fit the width of the trigger guard of the inserted handgun, clamping it from both sides; they are located rearward (toward the holster opening) of the tip of front spring-type protrusion 121, but closer to the muzzle than the tip of the trigger, and their vertical length extends from a position lower than the lowest part of engagement claw 231 to near the inside bottom surface of the holster.

[0032] In addition, the horizontal length is shorter than the length from the front face of the trigger guard on the muzzle side of the handgun to the tip of the trigger, which prevents the side spring-type protrusion from coming into contact with the trigger 32 of the handgun, ensuring safety.

[0033] Next, the operation of the latch device, front spring-type protrusions, and side spring-type protrusions from the time a handgun is inserted into the holster 10 configured as described above until it is fixed will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0034] Fig. 5 is a front view of the holster body seen through to explain the operation of the handgun, front spring-type protrusion, side spring-type protrusion, and latch device when the handgun is holstered, Fig. 5(a) shows the state before the trigger guard of the handgun comes into contact with the engaging claw of the latch device, the front spring-type protrusion, or the side spring-type protrusion, and Fig. 5(b) shows the state in which the trigger guard of the handgun is fixed by the engaging claw of the latch device, the front spring-type protrusion, and the side spring-type protrusion. Note that in the figure, the latch base of the latch device is not shown, and the holster body 11 is indicated by a dashed line.

[0035] 6(a) and 6(b) are cross-sectional views taken along the line AA in Fig. 5(a) and (b), with Fig. 6(a) showing the state before the trigger guard of the handgun comes into contact with the latch device's engaging claw, front spring-loaded protrusion, and side spring-loaded protrusion, Fig. 6(b) showing the state at the point when the trigger guard of the handgun begins to press the engaging claw, Fig. 6(c) showing the state in which the trigger guard of the handgun is fixed by the latch device's engaging claw, front spring-loaded protrusion, and side spring-loaded protrusion, and Fig. 6(d) showing the state in which the latch device's release lever is pressed down and the trigger guard of the handgun is released from the latch device's engaging claw. Note that in the figures, the outline of the handgun is shown by dashed lines, excluding the trigger guard and trigger, and the holster body is omitted.

[0036] As shown in Figures 5(a) and 6(a), when the handgun begins to be inserted into the holster, the front spring-type protrusion 121 and the pair of side spring-type protrusions 122a, 122b of the trigger guard fixing member 12 are in an unpressurized state, and the engaging claw 231 is biased by the leaf spring 25 and enters the inside of the holster.

[0037] Next, when the handgun is further inserted and the muzzle-side front surface of trigger guard 33 abuts against the inclined surface of engagement pawl 231, the inclination pushes engagement pawl 231 outward from the holster, as shown in Figure 6(b). Also, the pair of side spring-loaded protrusions 122a, 122b deform as if being crushed to fit the width of trigger guard 33, as shown in the figure, and clamp both sides of trigger guard 33.

[0038] Next, when the handgun is further inserted, the engaging pawl 231 is pushed out completely, and the front surface of the trigger guard 33 abuts against the front spring-loaded protrusion 121. If the pressure continues, the front spring-loaded protrusion 121 is crushed and deformed, and the trigger guard 33 moves further forward. At this time, the engaging pawl 231, biased by the tongue piece 251 of the spring plate, enters the inside of the trigger guard 33.

[0039] At this point, if you stop pushing the gun, as shown in Figure 6(c), the front spring-loaded protrusion 121, which has been crushed and deformed, pushes back the trigger guard 33, clamping and fixing the trigger guard 33 between itself and the vertical surface of the engagement pawl 231. In addition, both side surfaces of the trigger guard 33 continue to be clamped by the side spring-loaded protrusions 122a and 122b, preventing movement in the width direction.

[0040] In this state, even if an attempt is made to pull out the gun, the engagement portion 23, by means of the pivot 24, prevents the trigger guard 33 from moving in the pulling direction, and the gun cannot be pulled out.

[0041] Next, as shown in FIG. 6( d ), when the release lever 22 of the latch device is pushed down, the engaging portion 23 rotates around the pivot 24 , and the engaging claw 231 disengages from the inside of the trigger guard 33 .

[0042] This allows the handgun 30 to be drawn from the holster.

[0043] As explained above, when a handgun of the model to be stored is inserted into the holster of this embodiment, cylinder holding portion 12 of the holster body which is engaged with the cylinder of the handgun restricts movement of the handgun in the left-right direction (width direction of the holster) and up-down direction within the holster, and front spring-type protrusion 121 and engaging claw 231 restrict movement of the handgun in the insertion / removal direction, and a pair of side spring-type protrusions 122a, 122b restrict movement in the width direction and in the rotational direction about the center of the cylinder as an axis.

[0044] As a result, the holster of this embodiment can hold the stored handgun without rattle, even if the fit between the holster and the handgun cylinder is loose to make it easier to insert and remove the handgun.

[0045] The holster of this embodiment can also hold a handgun of a slightly different size than the intended model without rattle. This point will be explained below.

[0046] Figure 7 is a partially enlarged view to explain the fixed state of a handgun whose trigger guard has a different shape and size from that of the model to be stored, and shows a cross section taken along a cutting line passing through the center of the trigger guard in the width direction.

[0047] Figure 7(a) shows the trigger guard of a stored model handgun secured in place by the latch device, front spring-loaded protrusions, and side spring-loaded protrusions, while Figure 7(b) shows the secured trigger guard of a model with a different shape from that of the stored model.

[0048] As shown in these figures, even if the shape of the trigger guard 33 is different for a handgun model, by locating the side spring-type protrusion near the front spring-type protrusion, the fixed position of the front spring-type protrusion 121 and the engaging claw 231 becomes the reference point, and the position where the trigger guard is clamped is determined only by the positional relationship from that reference point.Therefore, even if the shape of the trigger guard is different, positional deviation due to the shape of the muzzle side part of the trigger guard is unlikely to occur, and either part of the pair of side spring-type protrusions 122a, 122b can reliably clamp the side of the trigger guard.

[0049] Furthermore, even if the width of the trigger guard 33 of a handgun is slightly different from that of the target model, the spring function of the pair of side spring-type protrusions allows the spacing to be expanded or contracted, so the sides of the trigger guard can be securely clamped.

[0050] In this way, even if the shape or size of the trigger guard of the handgun differs from that of the model to be stored, the trigger guard is secured in place by the front spring-loaded protrusion, the engaging claw, and the pair of side spring-loaded protrusions, so the stored handgun can be held without rattling in any direction, including the insertion / removal direction, width direction, up / down direction, and rotational direction around the insertion / removal direction as the central axis.

[0051] Furthermore, regardless of differences in the shape or size of the trigger guard of the handgun, as long as the cylinder size is the same and the barrel and trigger guard can be stored in the holster body, the handgun can be held without rattle even if other sizes and shapes are different.

[0052] In this embodiment, one stopper each on the top, bottom, left and right sides of the cylinder holding portion of the holster body loosely engages with the cylinder of the handgun, but this is not limited to this, and any stopper that restricts the movement of the handgun in the up and down directions within the holster body will do, and is not limited to one that fixes the cylinder.

[0053] (Embodiment 2) FIG. 8 is a perspective view with a portion cut away to illustrate the interior of a holster in the second embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 9(a) and 9(b) are diagrams illustrating the inner surface of the cylinder holding portion of the holster body.

[0054] The differences from the configuration of embodiment 1 are that a bottom surface spring type protrusion 123 is added to the trigger guard fixing member 12 attached to the holster body 11 in FIG. 8, and that only a pair of stoppers 14 are attached to the left and right sides of the inner surface of the cylinder holding part in FIGS. 9(a) and 9(b).

[0055] As shown in FIG. 8, when the front spring protrusion is in contact with the trigger guard of a handgun, the bottom spring protrusion 123 is in a position where it comes into contact with the bottom surface of the trigger guard.

[0056] 9, stopper 14 attached to cylinder holding portion 12 is only located in a position where it abuts against the upper circumferential surface of the cylinder of the handgun to be stored. Therefore, cylinder holding portion 12 of holster body 11 in this embodiment loosely fits the cylinder of the handgun and does not restrict movement in the up, down, left, or right directions, but only restricts upward movement of the stored handgun.

[0057] Next, the trigger guard fixing member 12 to which the bottom surface spring type protrusion 123 has been added will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0058] 10A and 10B are diagrams showing the trigger guard fixing member 12 of the present embodiment described above, in which FIG. 10A is a plan view thereof, FIG. 10B is a front cross-sectional view taken along the line BB marked in the plan view (a), and FIG. 10C is a right side view thereof.

[0059] The added bottom spring-type protrusion 123 is also expandable and contractible due to its spring function, just like the front spring-type protrusion 121 and the side spring-type protrusions 122a and 122b, and can be deformed by being pushed down by up to approximately 3 millimeters when subjected to downward pressure from the trigger guard of the handgun, and will return to its original position when the pressure is released.

[0060] In addition, the height of the bottom surface spring type protrusion 123 remains equal to or higher than the height of the lowest part of the side surface spring type protrusions 122a and 122b even in the most compressed state.

[0061] In this way, in this embodiment, the bottom spring-like convex portion 123 supports the bottom of the trigger guard from below and applies an upward pushing force, while the stopper 14 of the cylinder holding portion 12 applies downward pressure from above to the cylinder of the handgun, thereby fixing the handgun from above and below.

[0062] Furthermore, similarly to the first embodiment, the front spring-shaped protrusion 121 and the engaging claw 231 secure the front surface of the trigger guard of the handgun, and the side spring-shaped protrusions 122a and 122b secure the side surfaces of the trigger guard.

[0063] Here, a state in which the trigger guard fixing member 12 of this embodiment fixes the trigger guard of a handgun will be described.

[0064] Figure 11(a) is a partially enlarged view for explaining the fixed state of the handgun of the model to be accommodated, and shows a cross section taken along a cutting line passing through the center of the trigger guard in the width direction.

[0065] FIG. 11(b) is a partially enlarged view illustrating the fixed state of the trigger guard of a handgun whose trigger guard shape differs from that of the model to be stored, and similarly shows a cross section.

[0066] As shown in FIGS. 11(a) and 11(b), in this embodiment, the vertical height of the handgun in the holster is determined by bottom surface spring-like convex portion 123.

[0067] That is, when the front surface of the trigger guard is sandwiched between the front surface spring-shaped protrusion 121 and the engaging claw 231, the bottom surface spring-shaped protrusion 123 supports the bottom surface of the trigger guard from below, keeping the height of the bottom surface of the trigger guard above the lowest part of the side surface spring-shaped protrusions 122a, 122b as described above. Moreover, because the pair of side surface spring-shaped protrusions 122a, 122b are located near the bottom surface spring-shaped protrusion 123, the side surface of the trigger guard can be sandwiched at any position between the top and bottom (vertical) of the side surface spring-shaped protrusions. Moreover, because the pair of side surface spring-shaped protrusions 122a, 122b are also located near the front surface spring-shaped protrusion 121, the position at which the trigger guard is sandwiched is determined only by the positional relationship between the front surface spring-shaped protrusion 121 and the engaging claw 231 and their fixed positions.

[0068] Therefore, even if the shape of the trigger guard differs from that of the model to be stored, the pair of side spring-shaped protrusions 122a, 122b can clamp the side of the trigger guard with either part of the pair of side spring-shaped protrusions 122a, 122b.

[0069] Also, as in embodiment 1, even if the width of the trigger guard is slightly different from that of the model to be stored, the spring function of the pair of side spring-type protrusions allows the space between them to expand and contract, so the sides of the trigger guard can be securely clamped.

[0070] As described above, the holster in this embodiment restricts the movement of the inserted handgun in all directions, including the insertion / removal direction, up / down direction, left / right direction, and rotational direction around the center of the cylinder, and can hold the intended handgun model and handguns of slightly different sizes without rattle.

[0071] Furthermore, the holster of this embodiment can accommodate handguns with the same cylinder size as shown in embodiment 1 but different sizes and shapes from the model to be stored, as well as handguns of models in which the cylinder holding portion and the handgun's cylinder do not fit together, as long as the upward movement of the handgun can be restricted, since the vertical movement between the bottom spring-loaded protrusions is restricted, so long as the handgun can be stored in the holster body except for the grip, the handgun can be fixed in the holster without rattling in any direction.

[0072] In this embodiment, a pair of left and right stoppers that restrict upward movement in the cylinder holding portion of the holster body abut against the upper circumferential surface of the cylinder of the handgun, but this is not limited to this and any stopper that restricts upward movement of the handgun inside the holster will do, and is not limited to one that fixes the cylinder. [Industrial Applicability]

[0073] The present invention is useful for storing a handgun in a holster without rattle, and is suitable for allowing handguns of slightly different sizes to be stored in a single holster. [Explanation of symbols]
