Abstract
A holster for a firearm is disclosed. The holster includes a first layer, a second layer and a third layer sandwiched between the first layer and the second layer. The first layer is made of a first material and defines an outer surface of the holster. The second layer is made of a second material and defines an inner surface of the holster. The third layer is made of a thermoplastic composite material with fibers embedded in a thermoplastic resin. A heating of the holster between a predetermined temperature range softens the third layer to facilitate a molding of the holster.
Claims17
A holster for holding a firearm, the holster comprising:
- a first layer of a first material defining an outer surface of the holster;
- a second layer of a second material defining an inner surface of the holster;
- and
- a third layer sandwiched between the first layer and the second layer, the third layer being a thermoplastic composite material having fibers embedded in a thermoplastic resin, a heating of the holster between a predetermined temperature range softening the third layer to facilitate molding of the holster around a shape of the firearm, a resultant structure corresponding to the shape of the firearm being maintained upon the holster being cooled to below the predetermined temperature range.
A method for molding a holster, the method comprising:
- heating a holster blank and maintaining the holster blank between a predetermined temperature range to soften the holster blank, the holster blank includes:
- a first layer of a first material defining an outer surface of the holster;
- a second layer of a second material defining an inner surface of the holster;
- and
- a third layer sandwiched between the first layer and the second layer, the third layer being a thermoplastic composite material with fibers embedded in a thermoplastic resin, the heating of the holster between the predetermined temperature range softening the third layer;
- positioning a firearm inside the holster blank and applying a pressure on the holster blank so that the holster blank is molded into a shape of the firearm;
- and
- hardening the holster blank by cooling the holster blank with the firearm disposed inside the holster blank.
An article for holding an object, comprising:
- a first layer of a first material defining an outer surface of the article;
- a second layer of a second material defining an inner surface of the article;
- and
- a third layer sandwiched between the first layer and the second layer, wherein the third layer is a thermoplastic composite material having fibers embedded in a thermoplastic resin, a heating of the article between a predetermined temperature range softens the third layer to facilitate a molding of the article around a shape of the object, a resultant structure corresponding to the shape of the object being maintained upon the article being cooled to below the predetermined temperature range.
