Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a holster, and more particularly to a holster having a latch 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 which included a lever 43 having an engagement end 42 with a locking surface 45 for retaining the handgun and a thumb button end 44. The engagement end 42 had an engagement surface 45 for retaining the handgun in the holster by engaging the trigger guard. 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 walls 48 and guide walls 49 facilitated alignment of the trigger guard and locking surface by limiting lateral movement relative to the lever. The quick release operation was accomplished by moving a spring loaded tongue 41 outward past the locking point when the thumb button end 44 was depressed.

[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. Pat. No. 5,918,784 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] However, since the holster needs to hold the handgun without any rattling even when the carrier moves around vigorously, 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 problems in the conventional art, and its object 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 for storing everything except the grip of the handgun, a front spring-type protrusion provided at 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 positioned to sandwich both side surfaces of the trigger guard when the trigger guard abuts against the front spring-type protrusion and expand and contract in accordance with the width of the abutting trigger guard, and a latch device having an engagement claw that engages with the muzzle side inner surface of the trigger guard to prevent movement of the handgun in the direction of being drawn, a release lever that releases the engagement, and a pivot between the engagement claw and the release lever, and is characterized in that when the handgun is inserted, the front spring-type protrusion and the engagement claw hold the muzzle side portion of the trigger guard, and the pair of side spring-type protrusions expand and contract in accordance with the width of the trigger guard to hold 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 that even if the shape and size of multiple models of handguns are slightly different, as long as the handgun's vertical movement is restricted by the holster body, it can be fixed in place without rattling in any direction. In addition, since the front spring-loaded protrusions and side spring-loaded protrusions are expandable and contractible, the trigger guard can be clamped and fixed even on models in which the size and shape of the trigger guard is slightly different, 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 tops 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 a handgun whose cylinder does not fit into the holster body, the muzzle side portion of the trigger guard and the fixation of the side can prevent rattling in all directions, including the insertion / removal direction of the handgun, up and down, left and right, and rotational directions 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 range, so the side spring-loaded protrusions can reliably fix the side of the trigger guard, and even if the handgun is different from the model to be stored, it can be held safely without rattling. Effect 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 rattling. [Brief description of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0016] The present invention will now be described in detail 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 the present embodiment, with the inserted part of the handgun indicated by a dashed line.

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

[0019] Moreover, 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 for explaining the inner surface of the cylinder holding portion 12 of the holster body 11, and stoppers 14, 15 are attached to the top and bottom so that the cylinder portion 34 of the handgun to be stored fits into this cylinder holding portion 12, and furthermore, stoppers 14, 15 are attached to the left and right inner surfaces, respectively. This restricts the movement of the stored handgun in the up and down direction and the left and right direction (width direction). The cylinder holding portion 12 fits loosely with the cylinder 34 so that the handgun can be easily inserted and removed from the holster 10.

[0021] Moreover, the window 13 is 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 operation surface side of the release lever 22, and FIG. 3B being a perspective view seen from the attachment surface side to the holster body.

[0022] 3(a) and (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 operation 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 integral body of the release lever 22 and the engaging portion 23 is capable of swinging about this pivot 24.

[0024] Also, an insertion hole is provided in this engagement claw 231, and tongue piece 251 of leaf spring 25 attached 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. As a result, engagement claw 231 is constantly biased toward the inside of the holster body, and engagement claw 231 maintains a state in which it 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] In addition, the pivot side of the engagement 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 engagement claw 231, the engagement claw 231 rotates about 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 engagement claw 231 remains in that position.

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

[0027] In Fig. 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 inward through window 13 of the holster body in the normal state as described above.

[0028] A front spring-type protrusion 121 and a pair of side spring-type protrusions 122a, 122b are formed on this trigger guard fixing member 12. This trigger guard fixing member 12 is made of polyamide and is flexible, and the front spring-type protrusion 121 can be deformed by being pressed in by a maximum of about 2 mm 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-loaded 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-loaded 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 the gap between them can be expanded up to a maximum of approximately 2 mm each, for a total of approximately 4 mm, and they return to their original position when pressure is released.

[0031] In addition, a pair of side spring-type protrusions 122a, 122b expand and contract to match the width of the trigger guard of the inserted handgun and clamp it from both sides, and 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 surface of the gun's trigger guard to the tip of the trigger, so that the side spring-type protrusions do not come into contact with the trigger 32 of the gun, ensuring safety.

[0033] Next, the operation of the latch device, the front spring-type protrusions, and the side spring-type protrusions from inserting a handgun into the holster 10 configured as 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 pistol, the front spring-type protrusion, the side spring-type protrusion, and the latch device when the pistol is stored in the holster, Fig. 5(a) shows the state before the trigger guard of the pistol comes into contact with the engagement claw of the latch device, the front spring-type protrusion, and the side spring-type protrusion, and Fig. 5(b) shows the state in which the trigger guard of the pistol is fixed by the engagement 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 shown by a dashed line.

[0035] Fig. 6 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA in Fig. 5(a) and (b), in which Fig. 6(a) shows the state before the trigger guard of the pistol comes into contact with the latch device's engagement claw, front spring-type protrusion, and side spring-type protrusion, Fig. 6(b) shows the state when the trigger guard of the pistol starts to press the engagement claw, Fig. 6(c) shows the state in which the trigger guard of the pistol is fixed by the latch device's engagement claw, front spring-type protrusion, and side spring-type protrusion, and Fig. 6(d) shows the state in which the release lever of the latch device is pressed down and the trigger guard of the pistol is released from the latch device's engagement claw. In the figures, the outline of the pistol is shown by dashed lines except for 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 engagement 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 the trigger guard 33 comes into contact with the inclined surface of the engagement claw 231, the inclination pushes the engagement claw 231 outward from the holster, as shown in Fig. 6(b). Also, the pair of side spring-type protrusions 122a, 122b deform as if being crushed to fit the width of the trigger guard 33, as shown in the figure, and pinch both sides of the trigger guard 33.

[0038] Next, when the handgun is further inserted, the engaging claw 231 is pushed out completely and the front surface of the trigger guard 33 comes into contact with the front spring-loaded protrusion 121. If the pressure is continued, the front spring-loaded protrusion 121 is crushed and deformed, and the trigger guard 33 moves further forward. At this time, the engaging claw 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-type protrusion 121, which has been crushed and deformed, pushes back the trigger guard 33, clamping and fixing the trigger guard 33 between the vertical surface of the engagement claw 231. In addition, both side surfaces of the trigger guard 33 continue to be clamped by the side spring-type protrusions 122a, 122b, and movement in the width direction is also fixed.

[0040] Even if one attempts to pull out the gun in this state, the engagement portion 23, via the pivot 24, stops the movement of the trigger guard 33 in the pulling direction, so 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 about 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 described above, when a handgun of the type to be stored is inserted into the holster of this embodiment, cylinder holding portion 12 of the holster body which engages with the cylinder of the handgun restricts left-right (width direction of the holster) and up-down movement of the handgun within the holster, front spring-loaded protrusion 121 and engagement claw 231 restrict movement of the handgun in the insertion / removal direction, and a pair of side spring-loaded protrusions 122a, 122b restrict movement in the width direction and in the rotational direction about the center of the cylinder.

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

[0045] The holster of this embodiment is capable of holding, without rattling, a handgun of a slightly different size than the intended model. This point will be described 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 the stored model of handgun secured in place by the latch device, the front spring-loaded protrusion, and the side spring-loaded protrusion, while Figure 7(b) shows a trigger guard whose shape is different from that of the stored model secured in place.

[0048] As shown in these figures, even if the shape of the trigger guard 33 is a different model of handgun, 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 for clamping the trigger guard 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 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 model is slightly different from that of the target model, the spacing can be expanded or contracted due to the spring function of the pair of side spring-type protrusions, so that 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 a handgun differs from that of the model to be stored, the front spring-loaded protrusion, the engaging claw and a pair of side spring-loaded protrusions secure the trigger guard, so that the stored handgun can be held without rattling in all directions: 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 and 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 rattling, even if the 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 is loosely engaged 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 direction within the holster body can be used, and is not limited to one that fixes the cylinder.

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

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

[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 to abut against the bottom surface of the trigger guard.

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

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

[0058] FIG. 10 shows the trigger guard fixing member 12 of the present embodiment described above, in which FIG. 10(a) is a plan view thereof, FIG. 10(b) is a front cross-sectional view taken along the line BB shown in the plan view (a), and FIG. 10(c) is a right side view thereof.

[0059] The added bottom spring-type protrusion 123 is also expandable and contractible due to its spring function, like the front spring-type protrusion 121 and the side spring-type protrusions 122a, 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 returns to its original position when the pressure is released.

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

[0061] In this manner, in this embodiment, bottom spring-shaped convex portion 123 supports the bottom of the trigger guard from below and applies an upward force, while stopper 14 of 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 protrusion 121 and the engaging claw 231 secure the front surface of the trigger guard of the handgun, and the side spring protrusions 122a, 122b secure the side surfaces of the trigger guard.

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

[0064] FIG. 11(a) is a partially enlarged view for explaining the fixed state of a handgun of a storage target model, 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 shape is different 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 spring-shaped protrusion 123.

[0067] That is, when the front surface of the trigger guard is sandwiched between the front surface spring-shaped protrusion 121 and the engagement claw 231, the bottom surface spring-shaped protrusion 123 supports the bottom surface of the trigger guard from below, and keeps 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. In addition, since the pair of side surface spring-shaped protrusions 122a, 122b are located in the vicinity of 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. In addition, since the pair of side surface spring-shaped protrusions 122a, 122b are also located in the vicinity of 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 engagement claw 231 from the fixed position.

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

[0069] Also, as in embodiment 1, even if the width of the trigger guard differs slightly from that of the model to be stored, the spring function of a pair of side spring-type protrusions allows the space between the two 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 or handguns of slightly different sizes without rattling.

[0071] In addition to handguns with the same cylinder size as shown in embodiment 1 but different sizes and shapes from the model to be stored, the holster of this embodiment can also be used for handgun 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, the vertical movement between the bottom spring-loaded convex portion is restricted, so that for any handgun that 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 handgun cylinder, but this is not limited to this and any stopper that restricts upward movement of the handgun inside the holster can be used, 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 rattling, and is suitable for enabling handguns of slightly different sizes to be stored in a single holster. [Explanation of symbols]
