Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing holsters lack a convenient and quick-release mechanism that ensures high stability and safety, restricting user movement and angle flexibility when mounting or dismounting a gun, which is inconvenient for rapid use.
Innovation Solution
A quick-release adapter featuring a U-shaped chute for engagement and detachment of a regulating part with a fixing part, combined with a rotating mechanism and a supporting part, allowing for secure and flexible mounting and dismounting of functional parts at various angles.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a traditional holster with guide rail is used, then the gun can be protected, but the user cannot move randomly and the holster affects user action
Solution Approach 1:
The holster system is divided into separate functional modules: a guide rail assembly for gun insertion/removal, a mounting assembly for attachment to equipment, and a functional part (flashlight, radio, etc.). This segmentation allows the gun protection function to be isolated from the mounting function, enabling the functional part to be positioned optimally for user movement while the guide rail remains fixed for reliable gun access.
2Reliability
If a traditional holster is used, then the gun can be securely held, but the user cannot take out and put in the gun by any angles
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting assembly incorporates a rotating mechanism with a rotating plate that can rotate relative to the guide rail assembly. This dynamic structure allows the functional part to be mounted at multiple angles while the guide rail maintains its fixed orientation for secure gun holding. The rotating mechanism includes positioning holes and limiting discs to provide stable positioning at different angles.
Solution Approach 2:
The design separates the mounting dimension from the gun access dimension. The guide rail assembly provides fixed orientation for gun insertion/removal, while the rotating mechanism adds a rotational degree of freedom in another dimension, allowing the functional part to be oriented in multiple directions without affecting gun access security.
3Reliability
If a traditional holster is used, then the gun can be protected, but the user needs to load the gun by double hands after taking out the gun
Solution Approach 1:
The guide rail assembly is pre-configured with guide rails that align with the gun's orientation. When the functional part is rotated to a specific position using the positioning holes, the gun can be quickly reinserted along the guide rail without requiring complex alignment maneuvers, enabling rapid one-handed reloading after discharge.
4Productivity
If a quick-release mechanism is added, then mounting and detachment can be quick, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The quick-release function is achieved by segmenting the mounting assembly into detachable components: the guide rail assembly can be quickly separated from the mounting assembly. This segmentation allows for rapid detachment without requiring complex release mechanisms, as the components can be simply pulled apart along the guide rail direction.
Solution Approach 2:
The functional part (flashlight, radio, etc.) is extracted as a separate component that can be independently attached or detached from the guide rail assembly. This extraction allows the functional part to be quickly removed or replaced without affecting the structural integrity of the holster itself, achieving quick-release functionality with minimal added complexity.

AI summary
The present disclosure provides a quick-release adapter. The quick-release adapter comprises a regulating part, a fixing part, and a functional part. The regulating part is engaged with or detached and separated from the fixing part through a chute. The fixing part is equipped with the U-shaped chute located in three sides of a chute surface of the fixing part to form a U-shaped structure. The regulating part slides into the fixing part along, the chute to form an engaged quick-release part. The functional part is fixed to a functional mounting surface, of the regulating part through a rotating mechanism. The functional part rotates around the rotating mechanism. Furthermore, the rotating mechanism comprises rotation holes, a regulating rod, a rotation fixing disc and a rotation limiting disc.
