Abstract
A holster securement system for securing a holster to a belt comprises a body having at one end a loop for receiving the belt. The securement system also has a holster mount capable of being rigidly connected to the holster. An engagement member selectively detachably interconnects the body and the holster mount. The engagement member rigidly connects the holster mount to the body when engaged, and the engagement member enables the body and the holster mount to be selectively movable with respect to each other when disengaged.
Claims37
A holster securement system for securing a holster to a belt, comprising:
- (a) a body having at one end means for securing said body to the belt;
- (b) a holster mount adapted to be rigidly connected to the holster;
- (c) an engagement member selectively detachably interconnecting said body and said holster mount, said engagement member rigidly connecting said holster mount to said body when engaged, and said engagement member enabling said body and said holster mount to be selectively movable with respect to each other when disengaged;
- and
- (d) said body having a support member defining a groove for receiving at least a portion of said holster mount, said support member capable of supporting said holster mount independently of said engagement member, and said support member interfering with movement of said holster mount away from said body when said engagement member is disengaged.
The holster securement system of claim 12 in which:
- said body includes a support member defining a groove;
- and
- the fastener includes a holster mount sized to fit in said groove and an engagement member, said engagement member movable for selectively detachably interconnecting the holster and the body.
A holster securement system for releasably securing a holster to a body, comprising:
- (a) a holster mount;
- (b) a support member defining a groove for slidably receiving at least a portion of the holster mount to thereby interfere with movement of the holster away from the body;
- and
- (c) an engagement member selectively detachably interconnecting the body and the holster at one of a plurality of relative positions, the engagement member rigidly connecting the holster to the body when engaged, and the engagement member enabling the body and the holster to be selectively slidably movable with respect to each other when the engagement member is disengaged.
A device for selectively detachably connecting a firearm holster to a body, the body defining a groove, the device comprising:
- (a) a holster mount rigidly mountable to the holster, at least a portion of the holster mount sized to fit within the groove of the body for slidably coupling the holster to the body, the holster mount shaped to allow rotation of the holster mount within the groove;
- and
- (b) an engagement member in operative association with the holster mount and movable relative to the holster mount for selectively detachably interconnecting the holster mount and the body, the engagement member rigidly connecting the holster to the body when engaged to prevent rotation of the holster mount relative to the body, and the engagement member enabling the body and the holster to be selectively slidably movable with respect to each other when the engagement member is disengaged;
- and
- (c) a biasing mechanism urging the engagement member into engagement with the body and the holster mount.
A method of detachably securing a holster to a body, comprising:
- providing a support member defining a groove;
- providing a holster mount having at least a portion sized to fit within the groove to thereby allow sliding movement between the holster mount and the support member;
- providing an engagement member supported for movement relative to the holster mount and the body;
- slidably coupling the holster mount to the groove and thereafter positioning the holster mount at a first position relative to the support member;
- biasing the engagement member into engagement to interconnect the holster mount and the body and prevent sliding movement between the holster mount and the body, thereby detachably rigidly securing the holster to the body at the first position;
- disengaging the engagement member to thereby allow sliding movement between the holster and the body so that the holster can be detached from the body.
