Holster Support with Rotating Disc for 360-Degree Inclination Adjustment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing holsters lack easy adjustment and secure connection options for varying user preferences and different carrying methods, such as waist belts, thigh straps, and breast straps, limiting versatility and comfort.
Innovation Solution
A holster support system featuring a disc with a central axis connected to a plate, allowing 360° inclination adjustment via a lever and spring mechanism, enabling secure attachment and easy detachment from various carrying harnesses without removing the holster.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If a holster is securely fastened to a belt through a connection loop, then the connection strength is improved, but the ease of adjusting holster inclination deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by introducing a rotatable disc mechanism that allows the holster to be dynamically adjusted to different inclination angles. The disc can rotate within the connection plate, enabling the user to change the holster's angle relative to the body while maintaining secure attachment through the belt loop system.
2Reliability
If a holster is securely fastened to a belt through a connection loop, then the reliability of connection is improved, but the ease of detaching and reattaching to different supports deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the connection system into separable components: a belt loop assembly, a connection plate, and a rotatable disc. This segmentation allows the holster to be easily detached from one support and reattached to another by simply removing and repositioning the disc-plate assembly, while each component maintains its structural integrity and connection reliability.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a holster allows adjustment of inclination, then the adaptability to different user needs is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamics through a rotatable disc mechanism that provides multi-angular adjustment capability. The disc can rotate within the connection plate to accommodate different inclination preferences, and the system includes articulated joints that allow the holster to adapt to various body positions and carrying requirements without requiring multiple separate holsters.
4Adaptability or versatility
If a holster is designed with multiple adjustment mechanisms, then the versatility of carrying positions is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies merging by combining multiple adjustment functions into a single integrated mechanism. The rotatable disc within the connection plate simultaneously provides inclination adjustment and angular positioning, while the articulated joint system combines vertical displacement and lateral adjustment capabilities, reducing the number of separate controls the user must manage.

AI summary
The invention generally concerns the field of the accessories for fire-arms with which police officers, military men, private armed surveillance services and the like are equipped, More precisely the invention is directed to a system for connecting a holster or also a similar accessory to different wearing harnesses for carrying said holster or accessory. The support comprises a base plate, rotating disc to which the holster is fastened, locking means to releasably fix the disc in a selected angular position, and lever means pivotal with the plate for providing an abutment to said disc that prevents its separation from the plate.
