Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. CN 2024219538617, filed on August 13, 2024, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present application relates to the technical field of pistol accessories, and in particular to a holster with protective feature.

BACKGROUND

A holster is a pistol accessory used to assemble a pistol, which not only has a function of assembling the pistol, but also has functions of locking the pistol to prevent the pistol from accidentally falling out of the holster. In an emergency situation, the pistol needs to be able to be quickly drawn out of the holster, and thus it is necessary to provide a novelty holster that is both safe and easy to use.

CN 107525434A discloses a modified holster, which has a protective cover hinged on a rear side, and a pistol may be removed from the holster by opening the protective cover. However, opening the holster and taking out of the pistol requires two-handed operation, for example, opening the holster with the left hand and holding the pistol with the right hand; or, one-handed opening of the holster and then holding the pistol with two hands, which results in slower drawing out of the pistol and less maneuverability.

SUMMARY

In view of the foregoing, the present disclosure aims to provide a holster with protective feature to improve the speed of drawing out the pistol from the holster and improve the maneuverability of drawing out of the pistol.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, a holster with protective feature is provided, including the following components.

A holster body, provided with a pistol chamber and a rear opening.

A baffle, provided a barrier and a first block section; wherein the baffle is pivotally connected with the holster body via a pivot to allow the barrier to be in a blocking state when located at the rear opening and an unlocking state when away from the rear opening.

A first resilient member, configured to provide an elastic force to the baffle tending to the unlocking state.

An unlock button, provided with a second block section. Herein the unlock button is movable in a preset direction relative to the holster body, and the unlock button is movable from a locked position to a first unlocked position. When the unlock button is in the locked position, the second block section blocks the first block section to allow the baffle keeping the blocking state. And when the unlock button is in the first unlocked position, the second block section leaves the first block section to release the baffle.

A second resilient member, configured to provide the elastic force to the unlock button tending to the locked position.

Compared with existing technologies, the holster with protective feature of the present disclosure has at least the following beneficial effects and advantages. When the pistol is locked in the holster body, a user pre-takes out the pistol and hold a handle of the holster body with one hand, and then uses fingers of that hand to act on the unlock button to allow the unlock button to move along the preset direction, thereby allowing the unlock button to move from the locked position to the first unlocked position. During this process, the second block section on the unlock button leaves the first block section, and the baffle is released. Under the action of the first resilient member, the baffle pivots around the holster body, and when the baffle leaves the rear opening of the holster body to be in the unlocking state, the pistol can be drawn from the rear opening of the holster body.

Referring to FIG. 1, in some specific embodiments of the present disclosure, a holster 100 with protective feature is provided, including a holster body 10, a belt backboard 101, a legging backboard 102 and a strap 103. Herein the belt backboard 101 is pivoted with the holster body 10 to change an angle between the holster body 10 and the belt backboard 101, the legging backboard 102 is pivoted with the belt backboard 101 to change an angle between the legging backboard 102 and the belt backboard 101, and the strap 103 is wound onto the legging backboard 102.

The belt backboard 101 is provided with a slotted hole 1011 for a user's belt to pass through, so that the holster can be worn on the user's belt. The legging backboard 102 can be matched to the user's leg and tied to the user's leg by the strap 102. The legging backboard 102 can be connected to the belt backboard 101 through an intermediate member 105, and the intermediate member 105 can realize a rotation of the belt backboard 101 relative to the belt backboard 101 so as to realize different angles.

The holster 100 includes two sets of pivot positioning structures 104, where the belt backboard 101 is connected with the holster body 10 by means of the two sets of pivot positioning structures 104. Specifically, each of the pivot positioning structures 104 includes a pivotal axis 1041, an arcuate hole 1042 and a pin 1043. Herein the belt backboard 102 is pivotally connected with the holster body 10 by means of the pivotal axis 1041, the belt backboard 101 pivots around the pivotal axis 1041 to change the angle of the holster body 10 relative to the belt backboard 101. One of the belt backboard 101 and the holster body 10 is provided with the arcuate hole 1042 (as shown in FIG. 1, the belt backboard is provided with the arcuate hole 1042). And the other of the belt backboard 101 and the holster body 10 is provided with the pin 1043 (as shown in FIG. 1, the holster body 10 is provided with the pin 1043). When the belt backboard 102 rotated around the pivot, the pin 1043 slides within the arcuate hole 1042, and through the cooperation between the arcuate hole 1042 and the pin 1043 to limit a rotation angle of the holster body 10.

When in use, one set of the pivot positioning structures 104 is used, and the other set of the pivot position structure 104 is disassembled, which can realize different ranges of the rotation angles of the holster body 10 relative to the belt backboard 101, such as when using one set of the pivot positioning structures 104, the maximum rotation angle is 10.5°, and when using the other set, the maximum rotation angle is 30 °.

Referring to FIG. 2 to FIG. 4, the holster body 10 has a front side and a rear side, the front side is a direction in which a pistol is inserted into the holster body 10, and the rear side is a direction in which the pistol is drawn from the holster body 10. The holster body 10 is provided with a pistol chamber 20 and a rear opening 21, when the pistol is inserted into the holster body 10 from the rear side, a pistol body and a pistol trigger ring are accommodated in the pistol chamber 20 of the holster body 10, while a handle of the pistol is exposed on the rear side of the holster body 10 for a user to hold.

The holster body 10 includes a user proximal sidewall 11, a user distal sidewall 12, an upper sidewall 13, and a lower sidewall 14. The user proximal sidewall 11 and the user distal sidewall 12 are spaced apart, and the pistol chamber 20 is enclosed by the user proximal sidewall 11, the user distal sidewall 12, the upper sidewall 13 and the lower sidewall 14. The belt backboard 101 and the legging backboard 102 are close to the user proximal sidewall 11.

The holster body 10 can be elastically connected to a platen 30, and the platen 30 can be integrally molded with the holster body 10. A U-shaped groove 31 is provided between the platen 30 and the holster body 10, to allow one end of the platen 30 is connected to the holster body 10 and the other end of the platen 30 is an elastically movable end, thus the platen 30 can be squeezed to bend and deform. The movable end of the platen 30 is connected with a bolt 32, which is threaded with the holster body 10, and by screwing the bolt 32, a squeezing force of the bolt 32 on the platen 30 can be changed, which in turn can change a distance of the platen 30 to be placed into the pistol chamber 20. This allows the pistol chamber 20 to accommodate pistols of different thicknesses or widths, and the pistols are less likely to wobble in the pistol chamber 20. Moreover, the platen 30 can be provided on the user distal sidewall 12.

A shutter 40 is provided at the user proximal sidewall 11, and the shutter 40 extends toward the rear side of the holster body 10 and bends toward the user distal sidewall 12. The shutter 40 may be in a curved structure, and the shutter 40 may separate objects (such as the user's clothing) from the pistol to prevent the clothing from being caught. The shutter 40 is connected to a place where near to the rear side of holster body 10 via the pivot 41, and the shutter 10 is provided with circumferentially distributed first anti-rotation teeth 42. The holster body 10 is provided with second anti-rotation teeth 43 matched with the first anti-rotation teeth 42, and the match between the first anti-rotation teeth 42 and the second anti-rotation teeth 43 enables the shutter 40 to be damped when it rotates relative to the holster body 10.

Referring together to FIG. 5 to FIG. 8, the holster body 10 is provided with a first pistol locking and unlocking mechanism, which is configured to block or unblock a rear end of the pistol. The first pistol locking and unlocking mechanism specifically includes a baffle 51, a first resilient member 52, an unlock button 53, and a second resilient member 54.

The baffle 51 is pivotally connected to the holster body 10 via the pivot 513 such that the batter 51 can be rotated relative to the holster body 10, and rotating the baffle 51 enables the baffle 51 be in a blocking state and an unlocking state. Specifically, the baffle 51 may include two connections 511 and a barrier 512, the baffle 51 is substantially U-shaped, one connection 511 is pivoted to the user proximal sidewall 11 and the other connection 511 is pivoted to the user distal sidewall 12.

When the baffle 51 is in the blocking state (as shown in FIG. 3 to FIG. 6 and FIG. 8), the barrier 512 is located on the rear side of the rear openings 21 of the holster body 10, and the rear side of the pistol is blocked by the barrier 512 and cannot draw out the holster body 10. When the baffle 51 is in the unlocking state (as shown in FIG. 7), the barrier 512 leaves the rear side of the rear opening 21 of the holster body 10, and the rear side of the pistol is no longer blocked by the barrier 512, so that the holster body 10 can be drawn out. Moreover, the holster body 10 is provided a barrier wall 22, and the baffle 51 is blocked by the barrier wall 22 thereby remaining in the unlocking state.

The first resilient member 52 is connected to the baffle 51 and the holster body 10, and the first resilient member 52 may be a torsion spring. One end arm 522 of the first resilient member 52 abuts against the baffle 51, and another arm 521 of the first resilient member 52 abuts against the holster body 10. When the baffle 51 is in the blocking state, the first resilient member 52 is twisted thereby providing the baffle 51 with an elastic force that tends to the unlocking state.

The unlock button 53 may be moved along a preset direction relative to the holster body 10, such that the unlock button 53 may be in the locked position and a first unlocked position.

In the specific embodiments of the present disclosure, the preset direction is toward the front side of the holster body 10, that is, when the user moves a press end 531 (i.e., a rear end 531) of the unlock button 53 toward the front side of the holster body 10 by pressing the press end 531 with a finger, the unlock button 53 moves from the locked position to the first unlocked position. The unlock button 53 is located at the user proximal sidewall 11, such that the unlock button 53 is moved from the locked position to the first unlocked position by a thumb presses on the unlock button 53 when the user grips the handle of the pistol. The rear end 531 of the unlock button 53 protrudes from the holster body 10, so that when the thumb presses the unlock button 53, the holster body 10 does not pose an obstruction to the thumb's pressing action, which can facilitate the thumb's pressing of the unlock button 53.

A cavity 113 may be formed at the user proximal sidewall 11 of the holster body 10. Specifically, the user proximal sidewall 11 includes a face cover 111 and a sidewall 112, the face cover 111 covers the sidewall 112 to form the cavity 113. The front end 532 of the unlock button 53 is inserted into the cavity 113, and the rear end 531 protrudes from a rear side of the cavity 113.

The baffle 51 is provided with a first block section 501, and the unlock button 53 is provided with a second block section 502. When the unlock button 53 is in the locked position, the second block section 502 is against the first block section 501 to keep the baffle 51 in the blocking state. When the unlock button 53 is in the first unlocked position, the second block section 502 leaves the first block section and releases the baffle 51.

The first block section 501 may be formed by opening a notch 514 on the baffle 51, and the second block section 502 may be formed by protruding over the unlock button 53.

The second resilient member 54 may be a spring. When the unlock button 53 is in the first unlocked position, the second resilient member 54 is compressed to generate an elastic force, and the second resilient member 54 provides the unlock button 53 with the elastic force tending to the locked position.

More specifically, the baffle 51 is provided with a resisting part 515 disposed around the pivot 513, and the resisting part 515 is used for resisting the unlocked button 53 during the movement of the unlocked button 53 from the first unlocked position to the locked position. During the movement of the unlock button 53 from the first unlocked position to the locked position, an end face 5151 of the resisting part 515 remains against the second block section 502, such that when the baffle 51 does not return to the block state, the unlock button 53 cannot reach the locked position directly under the elastic force of the second resilient member 54.

The notch 514 is formed by recessing the resisting part 515 and a blocking surface 516 is formed at the notch 514 that allows the unlock button 53 to remain in the locked position, thus the blocking surface 516 is a side of the notch 514.

Referring to FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, the user rotates the baffle 51, and during the movement of the unlock button 53 tending to move from the first unlocked position to the locked position, the end surface 5151 of the resisting part 515 remains against the second block section 502 until the baffle 51 returns to the blocking state, then the second resilient member 54 pushes the second block section 502 of the unlock button 53 into the notch 514. And under the blocking of the blocking surface 516, the unlock button 53 remains in the locked position, and meanwhile, the second block section 502 blocks against the first block section 501 so that the baffle 51 remains in the blocking state, and then the user can undo a turning power to the baffle 51.

The holster may also include a second pistol locking and unlocking mechanism, which is used to lock and unlock a pistol trigger ring of the pistol. Specifically, the second pistol locking and unlocking mechanism includes a locking piece 61 and a third resilient member 62, and the locking piece 61 includes a locking protrusion 611 and a passive part 612. The locking piece 61 is pivotally coupled to the holster body 10, and the third resilient member 62 is used to provide the elastic force for the locking piece 61 to remain being locked within the pistol trigger ring.

The unlock button 53 is further provided with an actuating part 533, which may be disposed on the front end 532 of the unlock button 53 and opposite to the press end 531. The unlock button 53 may in the second unlocked position and during the movement of the unlock button 53 towards the second unlocked position, the actuating part 533 pushes the passive part 612 of the locking piece 61, so as to allow the locking piece 61 being unlocked from the pistol trigger ring. And when the unlock button 53 leaves the second unlocked position, the third resilient member 62 drives the locking piece 61 to rotate to allow the locking piece 61 keeping be locked in the pistol trigger ring.

The locking protrusion 611 is provided with a guiding surface 6111, and when the pistol is inserted into the pistol chamber 20 from the rear opening 21, the pistol trigger ring rests against the guiding surface 6111 and drives the locking piece 61 to overcome the elastic force of the second resilient member 54, this causes the locking piece 61 being pivoted relative to the holster body 10.

The third resilient member 62 includes a curved shrapnel, and the shrapnel includes a first shrapnel body 621 and a second shrapnel body 622. The first shrapnel body 621 abuts against the locking piece 61, and the second shrapnel body 622 abuts against the holster body 10. When the unlock button 53 is rotated tending to unlock, the unlock button 53 will squeeze the shrapnel so that it further bends and the shrapnel generates the elastic force. And after the unlock button 53 leaves the second unlocked position, the shrapnel drives the locking piece 61 to rotate, this causes the locking piece 61 being locked in the pistol trigger ring.

The second resilient member 54 may also provide the elastic force for the unlock button 53 to leave the second unlocked position.

The locking piece 61 and the third resilient member 62 are mounted in the cavity 113, and the rotation of the locking piece 61 allows the locking protrusion 611 to pass through a sidewall opening of the holster body 10 and into the pistol chamber 20.

In the embodiments of the present disclosure, along the preset direction (i.e., the front side in the embodiments), the second unlocked position is located below the first unlocked position, and the first unlocked position is located below the locked position. That is, pressing the unlock button 53. The unlock button 53 changes from the locked position to the first unlocked position, and then continuing to press the unlock button 53, the unlock button 53 changes from the first unlocked position to the locked position.

Taking the preset direction is the front side of the holster body 10 as an example, when the user moves towards the front side of the holster body 10 by pressing the press end of the unlock button 53 with his fingers, the unlock button 53 will move from the locked position to the first unlocked position, and the user continues to press the press end of the unlock button 53 with his fingers to move towards the front side of the holster body 10, the unlock button 53 will move from the first unlocked position to the second unlocked position.

A distance of the unlock button 53 moves from the locked position to the first unlocked position is greater than the distance of the unlocked button 53 moves from the first unlocked position to the second unlocked position. Preferably, the distance of the unlock button 53 moving from the locked position to the first unlocked position is 4.5 mm, and the distance of the unlock button 53 moving from the first unlocked position to the second unlocked position is 3 mm.

The unlocking process may include the following two modes. The first mode is that, the unlock button 53 continuously move from the locked position to the second unlocked position, which will unlock the baffle 51 and the locking piece 61 in turn, and then quickly draw out of the pistol. The second mode is that, the unlock button 53 moves from the locked position to the first unlocked position firstly, which will pre-unlock the baffle 51 and allow the unlock button 53 to return to the locked position, and then if necessary, the unlock button 53 will move from the locked position to the second unlocked position directly, after unlocking the locking piece 61 and finally drawing out of the pistol.
