Adjustable Concealed Carry Bracket System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional holsters either fail to accommodate a wide range of firearms or lack the ability to be mounted onto objects, limiting their versatility for concealed carry and mounting purposes.
Innovation Solution
A concealed carry system comprising two L-shaped brackets with a bracket-adjustment mechanism, a receiver unit, and additional mounting components such as a support bar and angled insert, allowing for adjustable fit and versatile mounting options.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional holsters are designed to fit specific gun models and calibers, then they can provide secure concealed carry, but they cannot accommodate a wide range of firearms
Solution Approach 1:
The holster is designed with adjustable components including a movable retention arm with multiple engagement positions and an adjustable cant angle mechanism, allowing a single holster design to accommodate various firearm types, calibers, and carrying preferences without requiring multiple specialized holsters
Solution Approach 2:
The retention arm is designed to be movable rather than fixed, allowing dynamic adjustment between multiple engagement positions to secure different firearm sizes and weights, while the cant angle can be adjusted to match user preference and clothing fit requirements
2Adaptability or versatility
If conventional holsters are designed for pocket carry, then they can provide concealed carry functionality, but they cannot be mounted onto objects or surfaces
Solution Approach 1:
The holster incorporates a dual-function design with both a pocket clip for traditional concealed carry and a mounting plate with attachment mechanisms, enabling the same device to function as either a pocket holster or a surface-mounted firearm holder depending on user needs
Solution Approach 2:
The holster is divided into separate functional modules including the main holster body, pocket clip assembly, and mounting plate assembly, allowing the user to attach or detach mounting components as needed without affecting the core concealed carry functionality
3Adaptability or versatility
If adjustable mechanisms are added to accommodate various firearms, then firearm compatibility improves, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The holster allows adjustment of key parameters including retention arm position, cant angle, and trigger guard coverage through simple mechanical movements rather than complex mechanisms, enabling accommodation of various firearm dimensions and configurations
Solution Approach 2:
Specific portions of the holster such as the retention arm and cant adjustment features are designed with localized adjustability, while the main holster body remains structurally simple and standardized, balancing adaptability with manufacturing simplicity

AI summary
A concealed cargo carry system is used to holster, conceal, and surface mount a firearm. The system includes a first L-shaped bracket and a second L-shaped bracket which are slidably engaged with each other through a bracket adjustment mechanism. This allows the first L-shaped bracket and the second L-shaped bracket to be adjusted to fit firearms and clothing applications of varying types. The first L-shaped bracket and the second L-shaped bracket frame the firearm, concealing the shape of the firearm when carried in a bag or clothing. The system also includes a barrel support which is mounted onto the base member of the first L-shaped bracket. The barrel support is used to securely mount the firearm onto the system. The system also includes a receiver unit which engages with the first L-shaped bracket and the second L-shaped bracket to attach additional mounting components to the system for expanded carry applications.
