Spring-Loaded Button Holster for Rapid Gun Deployment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional handgun holsters are prone to accidental discharge due to open triggers and require a lengthy process to unlock, making them unsafe and inefficient for rapid deployment in emergency situations.
Innovation Solution
An easily lockable and unlockable handgun holster design featuring a case, button, buckle, first spring, and second spring, where the button is rotatably fixed and connected to the case, and the buckle is rotatably fixed in a slot hole, allowing for quick unlocking by pressing the button and automatic locking when the handgun is inserted, utilizing the elastic properties of the springs.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a conventional handgun holster uses a seal that needs to be opened to withdraw the gun, then the gun can be securely stored, but it takes a relatively long time to withdraw the gun
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the seal opening step from the gun withdrawal process by using a button mechanism that directly releases the buckle. The button is connected to the buckle through a link, allowing the user to press the button and immediately release the gun without needing to open any seals or covers, thus eliminating the time-consuming seal opening step while maintaining secure storage during normal conditions
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-positioning the button mechanism in a ready state that can instantly release the buckle when pressed. The button is spring-loaded and mechanically connected to the buckle through a link, so that a simple pressing action预先 prepares the release mechanism, allowing for immediate gun withdrawal without sequential steps of opening seals or covers
2Ease of operation
If a conventional handgun holster keeps the trigger in an open state, then the gun is easily accessible, but the handgun is prone to accidental discharge
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary anti-action by using the buckle mechanism to preemptively counteract the risk of accidental discharge. The buckle is positioned to engage with the trigger guard, and the button-buckle linkage is pre-configured to maintain this engagement. This preliminary protective action prevents the trigger from being accidentally pulled while keeping the system ready for intentional release through the button mechanism
3Reliability
If a conventional handgun holster uses a complex unlocking mechanism, then the gun can be securely locked, but it takes a long time to unlock
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the locking mechanism into distinct functional components: the button, the link, and the buckle. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function efficiently - the button provides the release input, the link transmits the motion, and the buckle provides the locking engagement. This modular segmentation enables a simple, fast unlocking action while maintaining secure locking, avoiding the need for complex multi-step mechanisms
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables rapid and secure locking and unlocking of the handgun, preventing accidental discharge and ensuring quick access in emergencies, with a simple and convenient mechanism.
Implementation Method 1
a first spring, wherein one end of the first spring is connected to the button, the other end is connected to the surface of the case; at this time, the first spring is in a released state, the second spring is in a compressed state, and when the first spring is compressed, the end portion of the button leaves the buckle
Implementation Method 2
one end of the second spring is connected to the buckle, the other end is connected to the case; at this time, the first spring is in a released state, the second spring is in a compressed state, and when the first spring is compressed, the end portion of the button leaves the buckle, and the second spring is in a released state
