Abstract
An exemplary holster system may include an attachment component configured to be secured on a user; a firearm holster configured to hold a firearm; and a holster adapter operatively coupling the firearm holster and the attachment component. The holster adapter may be configured for one-handed repositioning of the firearm holster relative to the attachment component along an arcuate path between a first position and a second position while the holster system is worn by the user. The first position may include a first location and a first orientation, and the second position may include a second location, different from the first location, and a second orientation, different from the first orientation.
Claims20
A holster system, comprising:
- an attachment component configured to be secured on a user;
- a firearm holster configured to hold a firearm;
- and
- a holster adapter operatively coupling the firearm holster and the attachment component, the holster adapter being configured for one-handed repositioning of the firearm holster relative to the attachment component along an arcuate path between a first position and a second position while the holster system is worn by the user;
- wherein the first position comprises a first location and a first orientation, and the second position comprises a second location, different from the first location, and a second orientation, different from the first orientation.
A holster adapter configured to operatively couple a firearm holster and an attachment component, the firearm holster being configured to hold a firearm and the attachment component being configured to be secured on a user's body, the holster adapter comprising:
- an attachment component element configured to be secured relative to the user via the attachment component;
- a holster element configured to be secured to the firearm holster;
- and
- a locking mechanism configured to selectively secure the holster element with respect to the attachment component element in a first position comprising a first location and a first orientation;
- wherein one of the attachment component element or the holster element comprises a traveler, the other of the attachment component element or the holster element comprises a track;
- wherein the track defines an arcuate path along which the traveler is selectively movable while the firearm holster is worn by the user the first position and a second position comprising a second location, different from the first location, and a second orientation, different from the first orientation.
A method of assembling a holster system, the method comprising:
- assembling a holster adapter by operatively connecting (i) an attachment component element configured to be secured to an attachment component, (ii) a holster element configured to be secured to a firearm holster, and (iii) a locking mechanism, so that the holster element is repositionably coupled to the attachment component element for movement along an arcuate path relative to the attachment component between a first position and a second position, the locking mechanism being configured to selectively secure the holster element with respect to the attachment component element in the first position;
- wherein the first position comprises a first location and a first orientation, and the second position comprises a second location, different from the first location, and a second orientation, different from the first orientation;
- and
- wherein movement along the arcuate path simultaneously changes both a relative orientation and a relative location of the holster element relative to the attachment component element while the holster system is worn by a user.
