Innovation Solution
A quick-pull leather holster with a compartment and a single-side lock function, featuring a through lock piece with a rivet, pad, and inner ring lock piece, which securely locks the gun by engaging the trigger guard ring, allowing for quick and easy retrieval.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a lock function is added to the holster, then safety is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The lock piece is segmented into multiple functional components: a rivet for securing, a pad for cushioning and securing enhancement, and an inner ring lock piece for triggering the lock mechanism. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function efficiently while keeping the overall structure manageable and not overly complex.
Solution Approach 2:
The lock piece structure employs nesting by placing the inner ring lock piece inside the hollow rigid plastic body, with the pad positioned between the rivet and the outer side. This nested arrangement consolidates multiple locking and securing functions into a single integrated component, improving safety without proportionally increasing device complexity.
2Reliability
If a complex secondary locking device is added, then safety is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The invention extracts and eliminates the need for a complex secondary locking device by designing a single-side lock mechanism that achieves sufficient safety without additional retaining devices. The lock piece itself provides both primary and secondary locking functions through its integrated structure, simplifying the operation while maintaining safety.
Solution Approach 2:
The lock piece is designed to be self-sufficient, with the inner ring lock piece automatically engaging with the gun's trigger guard and the pad providing automatic cushioning and securing. The single-side lock mechanism self-regulates the locking and unlocking process without requiring complex secondary devices or multiple manual steps, thereby improving ease of operation while maintaining safety.
3Ease of operation
If friction-based primary locking is used, then ease of operation is improved, but reliability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The lock piece combines multiple materials with complementary properties: rigid hollow plastic for structural strength and locking function, and a pad material for cushioning and friction-based securing. This composite structure integrates both friction-based ease of operation and mechanical reliability, as the rigid plastic provides strong locking while the pad enhances friction and cushioning to prevent accidental disengagement.
4Reliability
If a larger lock structure is used, then reliability is improved, but invisibility and wearing comfort deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The lock piece utilizes a nested structure where the inner ring lock piece is positioned inside the hollow rigid plastic body, and the pad is positioned between the rivet and the outer side. This nesting consolidates the locking mechanism into a compact form that maintains reliability while minimizing volume, thereby preserving invisibility and wearing comfort.
Solution Approach 2:
The rigid hollow plastic body is designed as a thin-walled structure that provides sufficient structural strength for locking while occupying minimal space. The hollow design reduces material usage and overall volume, allowing the lock piece to maintain reliability without increasing the holster's profile, thus preserving invisibility and comfort during wear.
