Multi-purpose holster apparatus

A multi-purpose holster apparatus for holding objects, said apparatus comprising:

• a frame having a front side, a backside, an upper lip and a lower lip;
• a female adapter protruding from said front side;
• a male adapter securedly fixed to the object to be holstered, wherein said male adapter mates with said female adapter to secure the object to said frame;
• a planar securing member located against said backside and between said upper lip and said lower lip;
• at least one spacer inserted between said upper lip and said lower lip;
• said at least one spacer having a height slightly larger than the distance between said lips so that said upper lip and said lower lip exert an inward force to secure said spacer, said spacer and said securing member defining a space therebetween for receiving a belt or waistband to support the frame on the belt of a person, said at least one spacer providing a force against the belt to secure said frame to the belt;
• a locking mechanism attached to said frame for preventing the removal of said male adapter from said female adapter.

A multi-purpose holster apparatus for holding objects, said apparatus comprising:

• a belt for attachment to a person;
• at least one first holster mounted to said belt for supporting at least one first object;
• at least one second holster mounted to said belt for supporting at least one second object;
• said first holster comprising:
• a first frame having peripheral side edges;
• a plurality of belt apertures defined by said first frame side edges for receiving said belt to support said first frame on said belt;
• a rigid support member for attaching said at least one first object, said support member having a means for attaching said at least one first object to said support member;
• a slidable plate integrally formed with said support member;
• a sleeve integrally formed with and protruding from said first frame, said sleeve for mating with said slidable plate to releasably attach said support member to said first frame, said sleeve defining a cutout for providing clearance for said support member, said sleeve cutout having an upper end and a lower end, said sleeve upper end being at least as wide as said sleeve lower end lower end;
• an elongated projection protruding from said first frame and proximal to said sleeve cutout, said projection being substantially horizontal;
• an interlocking cutout defined by said slidable plate, said interlocking cutout corresponding to said elongated projection so that said interlocking cutout and said projection interlock when said slidable plate mates with said sleeve;
• said at least one second holster comprising:
• a second frame having a front side, a backside, an upper lip and a lower lip;
• a planar securing member located against said backside and between said upper lip and said lower lip;
• a female adapter protruding from said front side;
• a male adapter securedly fixed to said at least one second object wherein said male adaptor mates with said female adapter to secure said at least one second object to said second frame;
• and
• a locking mechanism attached to said second frame for preventing the removal of said male adapter from said female adapter, said planar securing member exerting a force on said locking mechanism;
• and
• at least one spacer inserted between said upper lip and said lower lip operatively associated with said planar securing member for securing said second frame to said belt, said at least one spacer and said securing member defining a space therebetween for receiving said belt and exerting a force on said belt sufficient to support and secure said at least one second holster on said belt.

A multi-purpose holster apparatus for supporting an object on a belt by interlocking with a male adapter protruding from the object, said apparatus comprising:

• a frame having a front side, a backside, an upper lip and a lower lip;
• a female adapter protruding from said front side for mating with the male adapter to secure the object to said frame;
• a slidable locking mechanism attached to said frame for preventing the removal of said male adapter from said female adapter;
• and
• at least one spacer inserted between said upper lip and said lower lip, said at least one spacer having a height slightly larger than the distance between said lips so that said upper lip and said lower lip exert an inward force to secure said spacer, said at least one spacer and said frame defining a space therebetween for receiving a belt to support said frame on the belt of a person, said at least one spacer providing a force against the belt to secure said frame to the belt.
