Abstract
A holster strap that allows for the attachment of a variety of holster types (thread-on, clip-on, paddle, as well as left and right holsters) to a backpack waist belt. The holster strap allows quick access and removal of a holster and includes a base and a strap. The base may be secured to the backpack waist belt and the strap secures the holster to the base. The strap may be stretchable and durable such that it may hold various size holsters with a heavy firearm, camera, or another item. The holster strap allows a holster to be quickly removed from a backpack waist belt and transferred to a belt when the backpack is removed.

A holster strap comprising:
- a base comprising:
- a base proximal end, a base distal end, and a radius of curvature;
- a strap fastener mechanically coupled to the base proximal end;
- a base clip mechanically coupled to the base distal end;
- and
- a flexible strap comprising:
- a strap proximal end and a strap distal end;
- a strap retainer positioned at the strap proximal end;
- and
- one or more strap eyelets positioned within the flexible strap at the strap distal end;
- wherein:
- the strap retainer is secured in the base strap fastener;
- the flexible strap is configured to stretch and maintain a tension in the flexible strap when the strap eyelet is secured to the base clip and the strap retainer is secured in the base strap fastener;
- and
- the base is configured to maintain the radius of curvature when the flexible strap is stretched between the base strap fastener and the base clip.
A method of securing a holster to a backpack waist belt comprising:
- providing a holster strap, the holster strap comprising:
- a base comprising:
- a base proximal end and a base distal end;
- a strap fastener mechanically coupled to the base proximal end;
- a base clip mechanically coupled to the base distal end
- two double-bar buckles formed into a top side of the base
- two slots formed into a bottom side of the base, the top side and bottom side of the base defining a base width;
- a flexible strap comprising:
- a strap proximal end and a strap distal end;
- a strap retainer positioned at the strap proximal end;
- and
- one or more strap eyelets positioned within the flexible strap at the strap distal end;
- wherein:
- the base has a radius of curvature matching a waist size from between 28 inches and 48 inches;
- the base strap fastener secures the strap retainer;
- the flexible strap is configured to stretch and maintain a tension in the strap with the strap eyelet secured to the base clip;
- and
- the base is configured to maintain the radius of curvature when the flexible strap is stretched between the base strap fastener and the base clip;
- and
- extending each nylon webbing strap from the bottom-side of the base, up around a back-side of the backpack waist belt, and through each of the double-bar buckles.
A holster strap comprising:
- a base comprising:
- a base proximal end, a base distal end, and a radius of curvature;
- a strap fastener mechanically coupled to the base proximal end;
- a base clip mechanically coupled to the base distal end;
- and
- a rigid strap comprising:
- a strap proximal end and a strap distal end;
- a strap retainer positioned at the strap proximal end;
- and
- a strap notch within the rigid strap at the strap distal end;
- wherein:
