Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional holster designs are not compatible with PDW-style firearms, and existing discreet carry bags do not effectively address the need for both discreet transport and rapid firearm deployment.

Innovation Solution

A sling system comprising a sling, a bag, and a release device that allows for the bag to be releasably attached to the sling, enabling discreet transport and rapid firearm deployment by detaching the bag from the sling.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a conventional holster design is used, then it provides secure firearm retention, but it is not compatible with PDW-style firearms

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvefirearm compatibilityVSAvoidfirearm retention

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The sling system is designed to serve multiple functions: it can carry various types of firearms including PDW-style weapons, provide concealed transport through the bag, and enable rapid deployment. The universal design accommodates different firearm configurations while maintaining secure retention through the releasable attachment mechanism.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Ease of operation

If a discreet carry bag is used, then it provides concealed transport, but it does not enable rapid firearm deployment

Engineering Contradiction:

ImproveconcealmentVSAvoidfirearm deployment speed

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

The system divides the carry solution into two separable components: the bag for concealment and the sling for rapid deployment. The releasable attachment mechanism allows the user to quickly separate these components, enabling fast firearm access while maintaining discreet transport when the bag is attached.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The attachment between the bag and sling is made dynamic through the releasable connection mechanism. This allows the system to transition between a concealed state (bag attached) and a rapid deployment state (bag detached), adapting to different operational needs.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

3Reliability

If a fixed attachment between bag and sling is used, then it ensures secure transport, but it prevents rapid firearm access

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvetransport securityVSAvoidfirearm accessibility

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The releasable connection mechanism acts as an intermediary between the bag and sling. It provides secure attachment during transport while allowing rapid separation when needed, mediating between the conflicting requirements of security and accessibility.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

Disclosed is a sling system comprising a sling used to carry a firearm, a bag used to conceal the firearm attached to the sling, and a release device used to releasably attach the bag to the sling. In this way, a user can discreetly transport the firearm while maintaining the ability to rapidly deploy the firearm by simply detaching the bag concealing it.
