[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a device for preventing a pistol magazine from falling out. [Background technology]
[0002] In Japan, members of the Self-Defense Forces and police officers are permitted to possess handguns when it is necessary for their duties. Of course, the handling of handguns is strictly controlled, and even the loss of a single screw can be a major problem. Therefore, for example, if a Self-Defense Force member were to drop a magazine during a training exercise, the training would have to be temporarily suspended and all members would have to search for it, causing a significant disruption to the training.
[0003] To prevent the magazine from falling out, vinyl tape has been used to secure the bottom of the magazine to the gun body. This method is effective in preventing the magazine from falling out. However, when removing and replacing the magazine, the vinyl tape must be removed, which is time-consuming, and the vinyl tape must be rewrapped after replacement.

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the anti-drop member for a handgun according to the present invention has the following configuration.
[0006] That is, the present invention is a drop prevention device that is attached to the grip of a handgun and prevents the magazine from falling out, a grip attachment portion formed into a cylindrical shape from a stretchable sheet material and attached to the outer periphery of the grip of the handgun; a pair of string-like magazine drop prevention parts extending downward from both sides of the grip attachment part and arranged so as to wrap around the bottom surface of the magazine of the handgun; a magazine drop prevention unit fixing member that fixes the pair of magazine drop prevention units to each other on the bottom side of the magazine; The device is configured with the following:
[0007] The grip attachment portion is made of an elastic material and is attached to the grip of the handgun by tightening, allowing for easy and secure attachment without the need for special fastening means. The magazine drop prevention portion is made of a flexible, moderately strong string-like member that extends around the bottom of the magazine to prevent the magazine from falling out during use or if the handgun is dropped. The magazine drop prevention portion fixing member secures the pair of string-like members in contact with each other along the bottom surface of the magazine and has a structure that allows temporary switching between a locked state and a unlocked state by button operation or engagement. The drop prevention member of the present invention configured in this way is simple in structure, yet can be securely attached to the handgun, reliably prevents the magazine from falling out, and allows for quick magazine replacement. [Effects of the Invention]
[0008] The anti-drop member for a handgun according to the present invention has the following advantages:
[0009] The anti-drop member for a handgun according to the present invention has the following excellent effects. 1. It is possible to reliably prevent the magazine from falling off. By wrapping a pair of string-like magazine drop prevention parts around the bottom of the magazine and securely fixing them with fixing members, it is possible to effectively prevent the magazine from accidentally falling off due to impacts during shooting or carrying. 2. The simple structure makes it easy to attach and detach. The grip attachment part is made of a stretchable sheet material, so it can be quickly and securely attached to the grip without the use of tools, etc. In addition, the magazine drop prevention part fixing member has a one-touch structure, so operability is not compromised when replacing the magazine. 3. Compatible with various handgun shapes. The use of elastic material allows it to flexibly accommodate the different shapes and sizes of various handgun grips, making it highly versatile. 4.

The grip attachment portion tightly contacts the grip, generating friction on the contact surface with the user's hand, improving the stability of the grip while operating the handgun. 5.It can also be applied to model guns and training guns. This device can be applied not only to real guns but also to model guns and training imitation guns, and is expected to have a wide range of applications from the perspectives of education, training, and safety management. [Brief explanation of the drawings]
[0010] [Figure 1] 1 is a view showing the state in which the anti-drop device for a handgun according to the present invention is attached to a handgun; [Figure 2] 1 is an explanatory diagram showing the configuration of a drop prevention member for a handgun according to the present invention; DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0011] Next, an embodiment of a handgun drop prevention member 100 according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Note that the following embodiment and drawings are merely examples of the present invention and do not limit the technical scope of the present invention. In addition, corresponding components in each drawing are designated by the same or similar reference numerals.
[0012] As shown in FIG. 1, the pistol drop prevention member 100 of the present invention is configured to be attached to the grip 210 of a pistol 200, and is mainly composed of the components of a grip mounting portion 10, a magazine drop prevention portion 30, and a magazine drop prevention portion fixing member 50.
[0013] Elastic sheet materials such as rubber, latex sheet, thermoplastic elastomer, polyurethane film, silicone sheet, etc. are preferably used as the main material of the fall prevention member 100. These materials combine adhesion to the pistol grip with flexibility during operation, and the type of material is not limited as long as elasticity is ensured.
[0014] As shown in Figure 2, the grip attachment part 10 is a cylindrical part that is attached in close contact with the outer periphery of the grip 210 of a handgun. By setting the inner periphery length smaller than the outer periphery length of the grip 210, it is fastened by the elasticity of the material and can be attached without using special fasteners. It also serves to add a non-slip effect to the surface of the grip 210.
[0015] The magazine drop prevention unit 30 is a member that is disposed below the magazine 230 and prevents the magazine 230 from accidentally dropping. In this embodiment, it is formed by two string-like members that extend downward from both sides of the grip attachment unit 10. The width, thickness, and material of these string-like members can be selected appropriately taking into consideration durability, stretchability, flexibility, etc.
[0016] The magazine drop prevention unit fixing member 50 is a member for fixing two magazine drop prevention units 30 in an overlapping state. In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 1, it has a one-touch structure that allows the fixing to be temporarily released by pressing a button located in the center, and then fixed again by releasing the button. This allows for quick attachment and detachment and secure holding.
[0017] The method for attaching the pistol drop prevention member 100 of the present invention is as follows: First, with the pistol 200 loaded with the magazine 230, the grip attachment portion 10 is opened and attached to the grip 210, with the magazine drop prevention portion 30 positioned at the bottom of the magazine. Then, the two magazine drop prevention portions 30 are stacked so that they are in close contact with the bottom of the magazine, and are fixed together with the magazine drop prevention portion fixing member 50.
[0018] The handgun drop prevention member 100 configured in this manner reliably supports the magazine from below with the two magazine drop prevention parts 30, thereby reliably preventing the magazine 230 from accidentally falling. On the other hand, when it is necessary to replace the magazine, the magazine drop prevention parts 30 are released by releasing the magazine drop prevention part fixing member 50, allowing the magazine 230 to be removed quickly and smoothly.
[0019] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and modifications in which the shape of the fixing member, the number and arrangement of the string-like members, and the material are appropriately changed are also included within the technical scope of the present invention.
[0020] Furthermore, the fall prevention member 100 according to the present invention can be attached not only to real guns, but also to model guns, training imitation guns, etc., and can be effectively used for various safety measures and training purposes. [Industrial Applicability]
[0021] As shown in the above-described embodiment, the present invention can be industrially utilized as a member for preventing a magazine from falling out of a handgun. [Explanation of symbols]
