3 Claims, 6 Drawing Figures HOLSTER FOR PISTOLS BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In previous holsters considerable manipulation is required to draw the pistol, or in other instances the pistol is held so loosely that it may be unintentially jarred or dropped out of the holster. The primary object of this invention is to provide a holster which positively holds the pistol and prevents accidental dropping or jarring of the pistol out of the holster, yet wherein the pistol can be drawn quickly out of the holster by a comparatively small shifting or lifting of the pistol.
Another object of the invention is to provide such a holster with a support whereby the holster can be carried in a position adjusted to the convenience of the person for ease of draw, speed and comfort.
Another object of the invention is to provide a quickrelease lock on the holster readily engageable by a finger simultaneously with the motion for gripping the handle for releasing the lock, thereby to provide a pistol holster wherein only a fraction of the usual effort is required for the release and withdrawal of the pistol from the holster.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the holster, viewing on the side of the adjustable support, the pistol being indicated in broken lines.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view viewing from the side of the lock releasing finger.
FIG. 3 is a fragmental sectional view showing the means to fasten the support element in adjusted position.
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the finger and the cam lock obstructing the tip of the slide stop.
FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing relative position of the manipulating finger and the cam lock in out of the way position relatively to the tip of the slide stop.
FIG. 6 is a diagrammatic view illustrating the movement of the finger, cam and block.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION The holster includes a channel member 1 which is shaped to accommodate the barrel 2 and the body 3 of the pistol up to the handle 4 so that the handle is extended in a convenient position to be gripped. The channel member 1 is generally U-shaped cross-section, but it is shallower at the barrel holding end 6 than at the deeper end 7 to conform to the respective shapes of the pistol parts. The end of the barrel holder portion 6 of the holster is closed by an end wall 8 from which extends inwardly a conical projection 9 which fits into the muzzle of the pistol barrel 2 thereby to provide one point of support for the pistol.
The end of the deeper portion 7 of the holster has a slot 11 extended inwardly and spaced from the bottom 12 of said deeper portion 7 of the same distance as the distance from the bottom of the usual trigger of the pistol and the slide stop 13 of the pistol so that the slide stop is inserted into the open slot 11 thereby to prevent accidental lifting of the pistol out of the channel member. This provides for a second point of support holding the pistol in the holster.
On the opposite wall of the deeper portion 7 of the holster is provided manipulating finger l4 pivoted on a shaft 15 journalled in the adjacent side wall of the deeper portion 7 of the holster. Adjacent the inner face of this wall of the deeper portion 7 and on the shaft 15 is fixed a locking cam 16 which rotates in a block 17, which latter in the raised position shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, blocks the tip 18 of the slide stop pin projecting through the pistol and thus forms the third point of support to prevent accidental withdrawal of the pistol from the channel member. The block 17 moves up and down as the cam 16 is rotated by the turning of the finger 14. A coil spring 19 anchored in the finger l4 and in the adjacent wall of the holster is biased to return the finger 14 in its initial position.
On the face or side wall of the channel member, adjacent the body of the user, is provided an adjustable support, which in the present illustrative embodiment is a flat plate 21 which can be placed, for instance, between the shirt and the top of the pants or the belt of the user.
The support plate 21 is adjustably mounted on the outside of the adjacent wall of the deeper portion 7 of the holster, for instance, as shown in FIG. 3, the end of the support plate 21 is bent upon itself so as to form a pocket 22. The bent portion 23 of the plate 21 is adjacent the outer surface of the adjacent wall of the holster and has a hole 24 therein pivoted on a pivot shaft 26. The outer portion of the pivot shaft 26 is threaded. A flat nut 27 is provided in the pocket 22 and is threaded on the threaded portion of the pivot shaft 26 so that when it is tightened against the bent portion 23 of the support plate 21 it presses the support plate 21 against the side of the holster and holds the plate 21 in the adjusted relative angular position, for instance as shown in FIG. 1.
In order to facilitate the tightening or releasing of the nut 27 the support plate 21 has a large hole 28 therethrough for access by a suitable key, not shown, fitting into sockets 29 in the nut 27 for turning the nut.
In operation the pistol is inserted lengthwise into the holster, the tip of the slide stop pushes the block 17 out of the way. The spring 19 snaps the finger 14, the cam 16 and the block 17, back to the initial position and against a stop 31 and thus the block 17 forms the third point of support to prevent accidental removal or withdrawal of the pistol.
In order to draw the pistol the user grips the handle 4 and simultaneously pushes his index finger against the finger 14 so as to turn the finger 14 from the position shown in FIG. 4 into the position shown in FIG. 5 thereby to move block 17 out of the way and then by pulling the pistol the short distance equal to the limited height of the conical projection 9 and the corresponding length of the slot 11 the pistol is disengaged from the channel member and can be lifted out of said channel member with rapidity. Thus to remove the pistol from its holster it needs only to be moved the distance equal to the height of the conical projection 9 instead of the entire length from previous holsters and therefore it saves time and effort for speed shooters.
I claim:
1. A pivot holster comprising,
an elongated channel body having an open end and closed end said channel body being of substantially U shaped cross section and being deeper at its open end and shallower at its closed end thereby to form an open receptacle capable of receiving and nesting a pistol from the end of its barrel to about its handle,
