Description

Domaine techniqueTechnical area

La présente invention concerne les dispositifs permettant de relier une arme de poing au porteur de l'arme et concerne en particulier un dispositif de retenue de dragonne d'une arme de poing.The present invention relates to devices making it possible to connect a handgun to the holder of the weapon and in particular relates to a device for retaining the strap of a handgun.

Etat de la techniqueState of the art

L'utilisateur d'une arme de poing telle qu'un pistolet ou un revolver, qu'il soit policier, militaire, agent de sécurité ou tireur sportif, est astreint à remiser son arme, pour son transport, dans un étui adapté afin d'éviter de la garder à la main en permanence. Malheureusement, au cours des déplacements du porteur de l'arme, l'arme peut tomber au sol, suite à un incident tel qu'une bousculade, une blessure ou une maladresse. Ce risque peut entraîner la perte de l'arme, et, ce qui est pire, la récupération de l'arme par une personne malintentionnée.The user of a handgun such as a pistol or a revolver, whether he is a police officer, soldier, security guard or sports marksman, is required to store his weapon, for its transport, in a suitable case in order to '' avoid keeping it in your hand at all times. Unfortunately, during the movements of the bearer of the weapon, the weapon can fall to the ground, following an incident such as a jostling, an injury or an awkwardness. This risk can result in the loss of the weapon, and, what is worse, the recovery of the weapon by a malicious person.

Pour pallier le risque ci-dessus, l'arme est reliée d'un côté au ceinturon du porteur de l'arme par une dragonne fixée à une boucle dans laquelle passe le ceinturon, et de l'autre à la crosse de l'arme qui se trouve généralement au dessus de la fesse du côté de la main forte de l'utilisateur, telle la main droite pour un droitier, par un anneau ou un clip métallique.To mitigate the above risk, the weapon is connected on one side to the belt of the bearer of the weapon by a strap attached to a loop through which the belt passes, and on the other to the butt of the weapon. which is generally located above the buttock on the side of the strong hand of the user, such as the right hand for a right-handed person, by a ring or a metal clip.

Les premières dragonnes étaient des liens faits en cuir ou en textile qu'il fallait plier ou entortiller de façon plus ou moins compliquée. En effet ce lien doit être suffisamment long pour pouvoir tirer à bras tendu (environ 110 cm) et ce, quelle que soit la morphologie du tireur, et être suffisamment court (environ 25 cm) pour la position de transport pour ne pas faire une trop grosse boucle entre le ceinturon et l'arme et ainsi traîner ou s'accrocher à des objets en saillie ou du mobilier. US 2013/181019 A1 divulgue un dispositif de retenue de dragonne d'une arme de poing de l'art antérieur.The first straps were ties made of leather or textile that had to be folded or twisted in a more or less complicated way. Indeed this link must be long enough to be able to shoot with outstretched arms (about 110 cm) and this, whatever the morphology of the shooter, and be short enough (about 25 cm) for the transport position not to do too big a loop between the belt and the weapon and thus drag or cling to protruding objects or furniture. US 2013/181019 A1 discloses a wrist strap retainer of a prior art handgun.

On a donc remédié à l'inconvénient décrit ci-dessus en utilisant un type de dragonne décrite dans le brevet US n° 2003/0213823 et illustrée sur la figure 1. C'est une dragonne spiralée en matériau souple 10 qui, lorsqu'elle est détendue, mesure environ 25 cm et environ 110 cm lorsqu'elle est tendue comme c'est le cas sur la figure 1. Elle ne nécessite plus d'être pliée ou entortillée après utilisation de l'arme du fait que c'est son élasticité qui lui permet de passer d'une longueur courte lorsque l'arme est remise dans son étui à une longueur longue lorsque l'arme est utilisée et que son utilisateur a le bras tendu en position de tir.The drawback described above has therefore been overcome by using a type of strap described in the patent. US No. 2003/0213823 and illustrated on the figure 1 . It is a spiral wrist strap made of flexible material 10 which when relaxed measures approximately 25cm and approximately 110cm when stretched as it is on the figure 1 . It no longer needs to be folded or twisted after use of the weapon because it is its elasticity which allows it to go from a short length when the weapon is put back in its holster to a long length when the weapon is used and that its user has the arm extended in the firing position.

Cependant l'utilisation quotidienne de ce type de dragonne composée de spirales présente plusieurs inconvénients. D'une part, la dragonne reliant le ceinturon à la crosse de l'arme et mesurant par nécessité environ 25 centimètres minimum, elle baille suffisamment pour s'accrocher aux objets environnants tels que du mobilier pouvant être en saillie et se trouvant dans le chemin où se déplace l'utilisateur. Ce dernier peut ainsi accidentellement accrocher sa dragonne dans une poignée de porte, un guidon de moto, un rétroviseur de voiture et continuer sa progression jusqu'à ce que la dragonne soit tendue à son maximum et ainsi faire tomber l'objet ou lui même tomber au sol.However, the daily use of this type of strap made up of spirals has several drawbacks. On the one hand, the strap connecting the belt to the butt of the weapon and measuring by necessity about 25 centimeters minimum, it yawns enough to cling to surrounding objects such as furniture that may be protruding and located in the path where the user moves. The latter can thus accidentally hang his strap in a door handle, a motorcycle handlebar, a car mirror and continue his progression until the strap is stretched to its maximum and thus drop the object or itself fall. on the ground.

D'autre part, dans le cas où l'utilisateur doit faire usage rapidement de son arme, pour répondre à une menace immédiate, le ballant de la dragonne est tel que, lorsqu'il saisit son arme, il saisit également une longueur de dragonne, ce qui aura pour effet de mal chausser son arme et de se trouver dans une position de tir inefficace et inconfortable.On the other hand, in the event that the user must make rapid use of his weapon, to respond to an immediate threat, the swing of the strap is such that, when he grasps his weapon, he also grasps a length of strap. , which will have the effect of poorly fitting your weapon and being in an ineffective and uncomfortable firing position.

En outre, le ballant de la dragonne libre qui tape contre les accessoires du ceinturon est bruyant.In addition, the swing of the free strap that hits against the belt accessories is noisy.

Exposé de l'inventionDisclosure of the invention

C'est pourquoi le but principal de l'invention est de fournir un dispositif de retenue de dragonne d'une arme de poing empêchant l'arme de s'accrocher aux objets environnants pendant le déplacement du porteur de l'arme.This is why the main object of the invention is to provide a handgun wrist strap retainer preventing the weapon from catching on surrounding objects during movement of the weapon carrier.

Un autre but de l'invention est de fournir un dispositif de retenue de dragonne d'une arme de poing permettant à la dragonne de rester tendue lorsque le porteur de l'arme se met en position de tir.Another object of the invention is to provide a device for retaining the strap of a handgun allowing the strap to remain taut when the wearer of the weapon is in the firing position.

L'objet principal de l'invention est donc un dispositif de retenue de dragonne d'une arme de poing selon la revendication 1.The main object of the invention is therefore a handgun strap retainer according to claim 1.

Description détaillée de l'inventionDetailed description of the invention

En référence aux figures 2 et 3, le dispositif de retenue selon l'invention est un étui de retenue qui est une sorte de boîtier 12 qui se positionne sur le ceinturon 14 en s'intercalant entre la boucle 16 de la dragonne fixée sur le ceinturon et l'étui 20 de l'arme 18, et dans lequel est insérée la dragonne. Le boîtier 12 retient l'essentiel de la dragonne 10. Ainsi, la longueur de la partie de dragonne entre l'étui 20 de l'arme 18 et le boîtier 12, est réduite au minimum.With reference to figures 2 and 3 , the retaining device according to the invention is a retaining case which is a kind of case 12 which is positioned on the belt 14 by being inserted between the loop 16 of the strap fixed to the belt and the case 20 of the 'weapon 18, and in which the strap is inserted. The housing 12 retains most of the strap 10. Thus, the length of the strap portion between the holster 20 of the weapon 18 and the housing 12 is reduced to a minimum.

Lorsque l'utilisateur se saisit de son arme pour se mettre en position de tir, la dragonne 10 sort du boîtier tout en restant tendue pendant tout le temps nécessaire au porteur pour être en position de tir. Ainsi, la figure 3 représente l'utilisateur ayant sorti son arme 18 de l'étui 20 pour se mettre en position de tir et ayant le coude encore en position basse du fait que le bras n'est pas encore tendu. On voit que la partie de dragonne 10 sortie du boîtier 12 reste tendue, ce qui ne serait pas le cas avec le système illustré sur la figure 1.When the user grasps his weapon to get into the firing position, the strap 10 comes out of the housing while remaining stretched for the entire time necessary for the wearer to be in the firing position. So the figure 3 shows the user having taken out his weapon 18 from the holster 20 to put himself in the firing position and having his elbow still in the low position because the arm is not yet extended. It can be seen that the strap part 10 exiting the housing 12 remains taut, which would not be the case with the system illustrated in FIG. figure 1 .

Un mode de réalisation du boîtier 12 formant l'élément principal du dispositif selon l'invention est illustré sur la figure 4. Le boîtier 12 comprend principalement un couvercle 22, de préférence rigide bien qu'il puisse être semi-rigide. Le couvercle 22 est fixé sur le ceinturon 14 par une charnière 24 (non montrée) qui le retient contre le ceinturon 14 avec une force faible permettant à la dragonne de sortir facilement en dehors du boîtier tout en restant tendue. A noter que le couvercle 22 peut être fixé sur le ceinturon sans comporter de charnière, l'effet charnière étant produit par un moyen équivalent tel que la rigidité du couvercle combinée à son élasticité.An embodiment of the housing 12 forming the main element of the device according to the invention is illustrated in FIG. figure 4 . The housing 12 mainly comprises a cover 22, preferably rigid although it may be semi-rigid. The cover 22 is fixed to the belt 14 by a hinge 24 (not shown) which holds it against the belt 14 with a low force allowing the strap to exit easily out of the case while remaining taut. Note that the cover 22 can be fixed on the belt without comprising a hinge, the hinge effect being produced by equivalent means such as the rigidity of the cover combined with its elasticity.

Lorsque l'utilisateur sort son arme, les spires de la dragonne sortent facilement du boîtier 12 de façon continue, en provoquant l'ouverture du couvercle 22 dans le sens de la flèche 26, ce qui permet à la dragonne qui est déjà sortie de rester tendue.When the user takes out his weapon, the turns of the strap easily come out of the housing 12 continuously, causing the cover 22 to open in the direction of the arrow 26, which allows the strap which has already come out to remain tense.

Après que l'utilisateur s'est servi de son arme, il la rentre dans son étui 20 et rentre la dragonne dans le boîtier 12 sous le couvercle 22. Ceci peut être réalisé de plusieurs façons comme par exemple en pliant la dragonne en deux parties comme c'est le cas illustré sur la figure 2.After the user has used his weapon, he returns it to its holster 20 and tucks the strap into the housing 12 under the cover 22. This can be done in several ways such as for example by folding the strap into two parts. as is the case illustrated on the figure 2 .

Un deuxième mode de réalisation du dispositif selon l'invention est illustré sur la figure 5. Ici, le boîtier 12 comporte deux couvercles côte à côte 28 et 30, identiques ou non, fixés au ceinturon par des charnières (non montrées) ou des moyens équivalents qui, comme dans le mode de réalisation de la figure 4, exercent une force de retenue faible permettant une sortie progressive facile de la dragonne. Lorsque l'arme est sortie de son étui par l'utilisateur, les spires de la dragonne sortent du boîtier 12 par l'ouverture entre les deux couvercles 28 et 30 provoquée par la rotation des couvercles 28 et 30 dans le sens des flèches 32 et 34.A second embodiment of the device according to the invention is illustrated on figure 5 . Here, the housing 12 comprises two side-by-side covers 28 and 30, identical or not, fixed to the belt by hinges (not shown) or equivalent means which, as in the embodiment of the figure 4 , exert a low retaining force allowing easy gradual release of the strap. When the weapon is taken out of its holster by the user, the turns of the strap come out of the housing 12 through the opening between the two covers 28 and 30 caused by the rotation of the covers 28 and 30 in the direction of the arrows 32 and 34.

Il va de soi que l'étui de retenue de la dragonne pourrait être tout autre moyen permettant la sortie de la dragonne avec une force de retenue faible, par exemple une gaine de forme tubulaire.It goes without saying that the strap retaining case could be any other means allowing the strap to be released with a low retaining force, for example a tubular-shaped sheath.

La figure 6 illustre un mode de réalisation dans lequel l'étui de retenue 12 est solidaire d'un passant 36 qui entoure le ceinturon. Le passant 36 dispose d'une partie mobile 38 qui permet de l'adapter à des ceinturons de largeurs différentes.The figure 6 illustrates an embodiment in which the retaining case 12 is integral with a loop 36 which surrounds the belt. The loop 36 has a movable part 38 which makes it possible to adapt it to belts of different widths.

Bien que, dans les modes de réalisation décrits ci-dessus, l'étui de retenue de la dragonne est fixé sur le ceinturon, il va de soi qu'il pourrait être fixé sur une autre partie du vêtement du porteur de l'arme.Although, in the embodiments described above, the wrist strap retention holster is attached to the belt, it does It goes without saying that it could be attached to another part of the clothing of the wearer of the weapon.

A noter que le dispositif de retenue qui fait l'objet de l'invention pourrait être utilisé pour retenir une dragonne reliée à un objet différent d'une arme telle qu'un outil ou tout autre chose. En outre, la dragonne pourrait ne pas être sous forme spiralée mais en matière extensible, par exemple élastique.Note that the retaining device which is the subject of the invention could be used to retain a strap connected to an object other than a weapon such as a tool or anything else. In addition, the wrist strap could not be in a spiral form but in an extensible material, for example elastic.
