Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a belt or thigh or shoulder case for a handgun, such as a pistol or a revolver. Such a case is described in the patent application US 2003/0042279 A1 .
  • the cases for a handgun and in particular the belt cases must satisfy several requirements that are most often contradictory.
  • this type of case must allow ease of intervention, ie allow a quick exit of the weapon from the case and have all the security guarantees, ie do not authorize an unintentional release of the weapon whether by its own weight or by a third person seeking to steal the carrier's weapon.
  • the cases are generally formed by a pocket housing the weapon and which comprises, at its upper part, an opening for introducing said weapon.
  • This pocket is provided on at least one of these sides, fixing means on a receiving member carried by the user.
  • fixing means are constituted, in the case of a belt case, by a passer supporting this pocket and, in the case of a shoulder case, by a harness connected to said pocket.
  • the pocket is supported by a fastening system consisting of a plate and / or a strap.
  • the butt of the weapon is disposed outside the pocket and the weapon is held by a safety tab, one end of which is secured to the pocket and the other end of which is fixed on said pocket by a fastening member, as for example a pressure member or a detent member.
  • this safety tab hinders the return of the weapon in the holster after a voluntary release of this weapon.
  • Holsters are also known which comprise a housing pocket of the weapon provided, at its upper part, with an opening for introducing the weapon and, at its rear part, with a support rocker of this movable weapon. successively vertically between a high position and a low position and by pivoting between a retracted position inside the pocket in which the weapon is locked in the up position against a fixed and fixed bracket of this pocket and a deployed position to the outside of said pocket and in which the weapon is released from the stirrup.
  • This type of case is complex to implement and use and even if it prevents a third person takes the weapon out of the pocket, it does not have all the necessary security guarantees and especially it does not not allow a reintroduction of the weapon easily, because the rocker can return to the retracted position by a simple push before the reintroduction of the weapon.
  • a holster for a handgun such as a pistol or a revolver, of the type comprising a pocket housing the weapon and comprising: at its upper part, an opening for introducing the weapon at least on the one of its sides, fastening means on a receiving member carried by a user, and means for locking the weapon in said pocket, such that the means for locking the weapon comprise a support member comprising a housing; receiving the trigger guard of the weapon, provided with a locking member movable transversely to the axis of the weapon from one of the outer sides of the pocket, between an active position projecting into the housing for immobilization of the trigger guard and a retracted position releasing said trigger guard.
  • the invention aims to provide a handgun case that is simple to implement and use and has all the necessary security guarantees.
  • a handgun 1 such as a pistol or a revolver.
  • the case 10 can be used as a belt or thigh or shoulder case and consists of a pocket designated by the general reference 11 forming a housing for the weapon 1 and which comprises, at its upper part, an opening 12 for introducing this weapon 1.
  • the weapon comprises in particular a butt 1 a and a jumper 1 b ( Figs. 1 to 3 ).
  • the weapon 1 In the storage position of the weapon 1, the weapon 1 is placed in the pocket 11 of the case 10 and the stick 1a is disposed outside said pocket.
  • the pocket 11 is provided with fixing means on a receiving member carried by a user.
  • the case is a belt case and these fastening means are constituted by a loop 2 supporting the pocket 1.
  • the pocket 11 is formed on two sides, respectively 11a and 11b, and has a front wall 11c and a rear wall 11d connecting the sides 11a and 11b.
  • the sides 11a and 11b and the walls respectively before 11c and rear 11d determine a receiving housing of the weapon 1.
  • the pocket 11 comprises, at its upper part, a tongue 15, a first end 15a is pivotally mounted on an axis 16 fixed on the side 11a of the pocket 11 and a second end 15b is provided with a body of snap such as a snap; not shown, on a lug 18 fixed on the opposite side 11b of said pocket 11.
  • the tongue 15 is displaceable, after unlocking the end 15b of the tongue 15, between a first position located above the pocket 11 (FIG. Fig. 1 ) to lock the weapon 1 and a second position tilted towards the front of this pocket 11 ( Fig. 2 ).
  • An elastic member 17, such as for example a torsion spring, is mounted on the shaft 16 to bias the tongue 15 in the second position tilted towards the front of the pocket 11.
  • the pocket includes means for locking the weapon which comprise a support element designated by the general reference 20, shown in FIGS. Figs. 2 and 4 .
  • This support element 20 is formed by a body 21 on which are fixed the sides 11a and 11b of the pocket 11.
  • the body 21 is provided at its upper part, two tabs 22a and 22b vertical and parallel, providing between they a housing 23 intended to receive the bridge 1b of the weapon 1, as shown in the Fig. 2 .
  • Each lug 22a and 22b has an opening, 24a and 24b respectively, for guiding a locking member designated by the general reference 30 and which is shown in FIGS. Figs. 3 , 5 and 6 .
  • the locking member 30 is movable in the openings 24a and 24b of the support member 20 transversely relative to the axis of the weapon 1, between an active position projecting in the housing 23 for the immobilization of the bridge 1b of the weapon 1 and a retracted position releasing said bridge 1b thus allowing an operator to remove the weapon from the pocket 11.
  • the displacement of the locking member 30 is performed by the user from the side 11a of the pocket 11, opposite the side 11b carrying the loop 2, as will be seen later.
  • the locking member 30 is formed by a U-shaped part comprising a central branch 31 and two lateral branches, respectively 32a and 32b, vertical and parallel.
  • the locking member 30 is positioned in the support member 20 so that the central branch 31 rests in the bottom of the housing 23 and the lateral branches 32a and 32b, respectively, are positioned in the openings, respectively 24a and 24b tabs 22a and 22b of the support member 20.
  • the outer lateral branch 32a of the locking member 30 passes through the side 11a of the pocket 11 and is accessible from the outside of this pocket 11.
  • the internal lateral branch 32b of the locking member 30, ie the branch opposite to the lateral branch 32a, comprises a lug 33 intended to cooperate with the bridge 1b of the weapon 1 in the projecting active position. of the locking member 30 in the housing 23 of the support member 20.
  • the locking member 30 is returned to its active position by an elastic member such as a compression spring 35 ( Fig. 3 ) mounted on a rod 36 and bearing between a stop 37 formed in the bottom of the housing 23 of the support member 20 and a stop 38 disposed below the central branch 31 of the locking member 30.
  • an elastic member such as a compression spring 35 ( Fig. 3 ) mounted on a rod 36 and bearing between a stop 37 formed in the bottom of the housing 23 of the support member 20 and a stop 38 disposed below the central branch 31 of the locking member 30.
  • the side 11a of the pocket 11 into which the outer lateral branch 32a of the locking member 30 opens has a cover 40 that can slide over a slideway 41 fixed on said side 11a, between a cover position of the lateral branch 32a ( Fig. 1 ) and a retracted position to access this branch 32a ( Fig. 2 ).
  • the support member 20 as well as the locking member 30 are ambidextrous pieces that can be used for a left-handed case or a right-handed case.
  • the cover 40 moves the cover 40 in the semi-open or fully open position ( Fig. 2 ) to allow the operator to access the lateral branch 32a of the locking member 30.
  • the outer faces respectively of the side branch 32a and the cover 40 are provided with striations substantially similar so that the level of security chosen by the operator is not too obvious to a third person.
  • these grooves allow a better grip of the lateral branch 32a and the hood 40.
  • the operator releases the tongue 15 by giving a push on the tab 18 so that this tongue 15 pivots towards the front of the pocket 11 under the effect of the elastic member 17, as shown in FIG. Fig. 2 .
  • the operator presses on the side branch 32a by means of his index which has the effect of compressing the spring 35 and move the side branch 32b to retract the lug 34 to release the bridge 1b of the weapon 1.
  • the operator can thus remove the weapon from the pocket 11 of the case 10.
  • the bridge 1b moves the locking member via the lug 34 and this lug 34 is automatically snap on the bridge 1b because of the recall of the locking member 30 in the active position by the compression spring 35.
