Firearm Holster Organizer Insert for Concealed Carry Bags
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional bags and purses are unsuitable for securely and conveniently carrying concealed firearms, as they lack dedicated compartments, leading to the firearm shifting and being difficult to access in emergencies, posing safety hazards due to potential accidental discharge.
Innovation Solution
An organizer device with a bag insert and integral holster that fits within conventional bags, featuring a holster pouch with magnetic closure and conforming shape to securely hold the firearm in a static position, preventing movement and ensuring the barrel points downward, facilitating quick access.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a firearm is carried in a conventional bag or purse, then the bag can accommodate various items, but the firearm becomes difficult to locate and access in emergency situations
Solution Approach 1:
The bag interior is segmented into multiple compartments and pockets, with a dedicated compartment specifically designed for firearm storage. This segmentation allows the firearm to be separated from other items, enabling quick location and access without searching through the entire bag contents.
2Reliability
If a firearm is placed in conventional bag pockets or compartments, then the bag remains organized, but the firearm position shifts and moves during transport creating safety hazards
Solution Approach 1:
The firearm compartment is designed with specific local characteristics including a rigid structure, specific orientation guides, and positioning features that maintain the firearm in a fixed, safe position. The compartment's localized design ensures the firearm remains stable during transport while other bag contents can be freely arranged.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a firearm is stored in conventional handbags, then the handbag can carry personal items, but the firearm may be mixed with and potentially misplaced within other items
Solution Approach 1:
The firearm storage function is extracted from the general bag interior and created as a separate, dedicated compartment. This extraction ensures the firearm is visually and physically distinguished from other items, preventing it from being mixed or misplaced while maintaining the bag's overall versatility for carrying various personal items.

AI summary
An organizer device for holding and concealing a firearm within the main interior compartment of a bag includes a bag insert for being received by and fitting within the main compartment of the bag. The insert includes a peripheral wall surrounding a main receptacle of the insert. A holster is attached to the peripheral wall and has an interior holster chamber and a closure for selectively closing and opening the holster chamber. A holster pouch is removably received and supported within the holster chamber. The holster pouch has an interior space for receiving the firearm. The interior space is configured to generally conform to a peripheral shape of the firearm such that movement of the firearm within the interior cavity of the holder insert is constrained.
