Seat Attachment Assembly for Secure Holster Mounting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional holster mounting accessories often fail to provide secure, easy, and versatile mounting solutions for handguns and other implements, especially in terms of stability and accessibility, while also being comfortable for extended wear and easy to install and remove.
Innovation Solution
A seat attachment assembly with modular components, including straps and fasteners, that allows for secure mounting of holsters or implements to various locations, such as vehicle seats or furniture, enabling easy access and secure retention, with adjustable strap configurations and interchangeable holster options.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a holster is mounted to furniture or article using conventional mounting accessories, then the holster is retained securely, but the mounting accessory adds complexity and may compromise stability or accessibility
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the holster and mounting accessory into a single integrated unit. The holster includes built-in mounting features such as straps, fasteners, and attachment mechanisms that are permanently incorporated into the holster structure, eliminating the need for separate mounting accessories and reducing overall system complexity while maintaining secure retention
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated holster mounting system is designed to be versatile and adaptable to multiple surfaces and configurations. The mounting features can be adjusted to accommodate different furniture types and article surfaces, providing universal applicability without requiring multiple specialized mounting accessories
2Reliability
If a holster mounting accessory is designed for secure retention, then the holster is reliably retained, but it may become difficult to install and remove
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting system incorporates dynamic adjustment mechanisms that allow the mounting strength to be modified by the user. Straps can be tightened or loosened, and fasteners can be engaged or disengaged easily, enabling the system to transition between secure retention mode and easy installation/removal mode as needed
3Ease of operation
If a holster is designed for ready use and repeated drawing, then accessibility is improved, but it may become less comfortable for extended wear
Solution Approach 1:
The holster system is divided into separable components - the holster itself and the mounting accessory - allowing the user to wear the holster on the body for extended periods and only mount it to furniture or articles when ready access is needed. This segmentation enables the holster to serve multiple functions without compromising comfort during extended wear

AI summary
Representative implementations of devices and techniques provide a seat attachment assembly to receive and to support an implement (such as a handgun, for example) or an implement holster (such as a handgun holster, for example), in a variety of configurations. The seat attachment assembly includes a planar seat attachment unit arranged to be mounted in various locations using one or more straps threaded through a portion of the seat attachment unit, for temporarily and safely stowing the implement, while making the implement easily accessible to the user.
