Duty Mount Assembly for Secure Holster Transfer
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a need for a solution that allows users to temporarily and safely store implements like handguns or holsters in various locations while maintaining easy access, especially when not worn on the person, such as during activities like driving or sleeping.
Innovation Solution
A duty mount assembly comprising a receiver and an adapter that can be mounted to different surfaces or wearable items, enabling the secure and removable attachment of holsters or implements, with locking mechanisms for secure storage and quick access.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the implement and holster are worn on the user's person, then convenient access is maintained, but the user cannot safely store them in temporary locations when not needed
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides the holster carrying function into two separate components: a wearable holster carrier that provides quick access when needed, and a stationary receiver mounted in temporary locations for safe storage when not in use. This segmentation allows the implement to be quickly transferred between wearable and stationary positions, resolving the contradiction between access convenience and storage flexibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The duty mount assembly acts as an intermediary mechanism between the wearable holster carrier and stationary storage locations. It provides a standardized interface (receiver and adapter) that enables quick transfer of the holster between different positions, allowing users to maintain easy access when needed while safely storing in temporary locations when not in use.
2Reliability
If the holster is securely retained on the user's person, then safety is improved, but the user cannot easily move it to temporary locations
Solution Approach 1:
The retention system transitions from a static permanently attached configuration to a dynamic removable configuration. The locking mechanism provides secure retention when engaged, while allowing easy disengagement and relocation of the holster carrier between wearable and stationary positions, thus achieving both security and mobility.
Solution Approach 2:
The system separates the holster retention function into a modular wearable carrier that can be independently attached or detached from stationary receivers. This segmentation maintains secure retention during wear while enabling easy relocation to temporary storage locations when needed.
3Reliability
If the implement is concealed in the holster, then safety and discretion are improved, but access time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The holster is pre-positioned in the wearable carrier with the implement ready for immediate access. When needed, the user simply draws the implement from the pre-positioned holster without needing to search or reposition anything, thus maintaining both safe retention and quick access.
Solution Approach 2:
The holster design allows the implement to be easily drawn and reholstered by the user without requiring complex mechanisms or assistance. The simple retention and release system enables rapid access while maintaining secure concealed carry when not in use.

AI summary
Representative implementations of devices and techniques provide duty mount assembly to mount and to support an implement (such as a handgun, for example) or an implement holster (such as a handgun holster, for example), or the like, in a variety of configurations. The duty mount assembly comprises a receiver with a receiver pocket and an adapter configured to securely fit within the receiver pocket. The adapter may be coupled to the implement or the implement holster.
