Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a belt holder for attaching a case such as a handgun holster, a mobile phone case, a waist pouch, or an object to be attached to a belt.

Cases containing valuables such as pistol holsters, mobile phone cases, and waist pouches are sometimes attached to a belt that wraps around the body, and a belt holder with a loop through which the belt is passed is used.

Such cases are provided with a closed opening or a cover to prevent valuables stored inside from being stolen or dropped.

However, although it is possible to prevent the valuables stored in the cases from being stolen, there is a risk of the cases being stolen from the belt. In particular, if a pistol holster containing a pistol is stolen, it could lead to a serious injury.

Therefore, conventionally, as described in Patent Document 1, it consists of a case body and a fitting for attaching the case body to an equipment belt, and the upper end of the fitting is folded back to form an upper loop structure. The equipment belt is fixed by fixing the base of the lower loop component with a rivet to the back of the attachment, and by disengaging the snap buttons attached to the ends of the upper loop component and the lower loop component. Handgun holsters have been proposed that open and close through belt loops.

This handgun holster has an upper loop component and a lower loop component inside the equipment belt, and two snap buttons are arranged in the width direction at the tip of the upper loop component and the lower loop component. The snap button has a strong engaging force so that it can withstand the weight of the pistol.

Therefore, when the equipment belt is attached, it is difficult to insert a hand from the outside to the inside of the equipment belt, grasp the tip of the upper loop component, and remove the two snap buttons at the same time. It prevents the holster from being stolen.

JP-A-8-136190

However, the handgun holster as described in Patent Document 1 requires a strong force to remove the two strong snap buttons arranged in a row when it is removed from the equipment belt. It was troublesome to try to remove them one by one.

The problem to be solved by the present invention is that even if a plurality of snap buttons that hold the upper piece and the lower piece in an overlapped state are firmly engaged, the upper piece can be pulled up from the tip side with a relatively weak force. To provide a removable belt holder.

The invention according to claim 1 of the present application is a belt holder for attaching an object to be attached to a belt, comprising: a loop through which the belt is passed; a lower piece forming the loop; and a leading end portion forming the loop. an upper piece having a base and detachably overlapping with the lower piece; and a plurality of snap buttons attached to overlapping surfaces of the lower piece and the upper piece to releasably engage with each other, wherein the By overlapping the upper piece on the lower piece and engaging the snap button, the lower piece and the upper piece are held in an overlapped state, the loop is formed, and the tip portion of the upper piece By pulling up in the direction of the base, the engagement of the snap button is released, the loop is opened, and the snap button extends in a plurality of stages along the direction from the distal end side of the upper piece toward the base side. The belt holder is characterized in that the number of steps on the tip side of the upper piece is smaller than the number of steps on the base side of the upper piece.

The invention according to claim 2 of the present application is the belt holder according to claim 1, wherein the overlapping portion of the lower piece and the upper piece is provided on the body side of the belt.

In the invention according to claim 3 of the present application, the snap buttons are arranged in two stages along the direction from the tip end side of the upper piece toward the base side, and the number of the steps on the tip end side is one, 3. The belt holder according to claim 1, wherein the number of steps on the base side is two.

The invention according to claim 4 of the present application is the belt holder according to claim 3, wherein the snap buttons on the base side are arranged on both sides in the width direction of the snap buttons on the tip side. is.

In the invention according to claim 5 of the present application, the upper piece gradually tapers from a portion to which the stepped snap button on the base side is attached toward the tip portion on which the stepped snap button on the tip side is provided. 5. The belt holder according to any one of claims 1 to 4, characterized in that it protrudes so as to narrow its width.

In the invention according to claim 6 of the present application, the distal end of the snap button arranged in the base-side stage and the base-side end of the snap button arranged in the distal-side stage 6. The belt holder according to any one of claims 1 to 5, characterized in that the tip portion of the piece overlaps with the removal direction of the snap button that pulls up in the direction of the base portion.

According to the belt holder of the present invention, even if a plurality of snap buttons that hold the upper piece and the lower piece in an overlapped state are firmly engaged so that the object to be attached is not snatched, the upper piece is placed on the tip side. The few snap buttons provided on the step on the tip side can be easily removed by pulling up from the base side, and a moment is applied in the direction of releasing the engagement of the snap button by pulling up the upper piece, so even a relatively weak force can be applied to the base side. The snap buttons on the tiers can be removed in sequence, making it easy to remove the belt holder from the belt when necessary.

In addition, when the overlapped portion of the lower piece and the upper piece is provided on the body side of the belt, when the belt holder is attached to the belt worn on the body, the belt holder cannot be removed without inserting the hand inside the belt. Therefore, it is difficult for the attached object to be stolen.

In addition, the upper piece protrudes so that the width gradually narrows from the portion where the snap button of the step on the base side is attached to the tip portion where the snap button of the step on the tip side is provided. , the finger inserted inside the belt is difficult to reach the tip of the upper piece, further increasing the anti-theft effect.

In addition, the distal end of the snap button arranged in the base-side step and the base-side end of the snap button arranged in the distal-side step connect the distal end of the upper piece to the base. When the snap button pulls up in the direction of , the engaging force of the snap button on the base side and the engaging force of the snap button on the tip side cooperate to reliably overlap the upper piece and the lower piece. Since the disengagement of the snap button on the distal end side and the disengagement of the snap button on the base side are continuously performed, it can be removed easily and quickly.

It is a front view in the state where the upper piece and the lower piece of the belt holder which show the embodiment of the present invention are opened. It is a side view of a belt holder showing an embodiment of the present invention.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In addition, it cannot be overemphasized that this invention is not limited to embodiment.

In the embodiments described below, the belt holder of the present invention is applied to a case comprising a handgun holster, and the belt holder is for attaching the handgun holster to a belt wrapped around the body.
Also, in the following description, the body side of the belt is defined as the front and the opposite side is defined as the back.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. FIG.
FIG. 1 is a front view showing an embodiment of a belt holder in which the upper and lower pieces are overlaid, and FIG. 2 is a front view showing an embodiment in which the upper and lower belt holders are opened. FIG. 3 is a side view of a belt holder showing an embodiment.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the belt holder 1 includes a case attachment piece 2 to which the handgun holster A is attached, a lower piece 3 provided on the case attachment piece 2, and a lower piece 3 provided on the case attachment piece 2. An upper piece 4 that overlaps on top of .

The case mounting piece 2, the upper piece 4 and the lower piece 3 form part of a loop 7 through which the belt B is passed (Fig. 3).
The case mounting piece 2, the lower piece 3 and the upper piece 4 are made of tough leather or ballistic cloth so as to withstand the weight of the handgun housed in the handgun holster A.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the case attachment piece 2 has a vertically long substantially quadrilateral shape, and a handgun holster A is attached to the rear surface thereof.
The handgun holster A is made of the same material as the belt holder 1, for example, and is attached to the case attachment piece 2 so as to be rotatable and fixed.

A lower end portion of a lower piece 3 is fixed to the front middle portion of the case mounting piece 2 with a plurality of rivets 6 .
The lower piece 3 has substantially the same width as the case mounting piece 2 and extends upward from the intermediate portion of the case mounting piece 2 .

As shown in FIG. 3, an upper piece 4 is formed by folding the upper end of the case attachment piece 2 toward the front side. The upper piece 4 is provided so as to overlap the lower piece 3 with the tip facing downward.
A blade-resistant reinforcing core is built in from the vicinity of the folded portion of the case mounting piece 2 to the upper portion of the upper piece 4, and a metal reinforcing plate is inserted into the inside of the case mounting piece 2 below the blade-resistant reinforcing core. desirable.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the tip portion of the upper piece 4 protrudes in a substantially triangular shape so that the width gradually narrows from the base side (folded portion side) toward the center portion of the tip portion.

The three snap buttons 51, 52, 53 are arranged in two stages from the tip of the upper piece 4 toward the base. One snap button 51 is provided on the tip side stage (lower stage) of the upper piece 4 and two snap buttons 52 and 53 are provided on the base side stage (upper stage) of the upper piece 4 .

The snap buttons 51a, 52a, 53a on the lower piece 3 side and the corresponding snap buttons 51b, 52b, 53b on the upper piece 4 side are opposite in sex and can be engaged and disengaged from each other. In this embodiment, the snap buttons 51a, 52a, 53a on the lower piece 3 side are male, and the snap buttons 51b, 52b, 53b on the upper piece 4 side are female, but this is not restrictive.

The snap button 51 arranged in the step (lower step) on the tip side is attached to the width direction central portion of the tip portion of the upper piece 4 , that is, near the top of the tip portion of the upper piece 4 .
Further, the snap buttons 52 and 53 arranged in the step (upper step) on the base side are provided on both sides in the width direction on the base side of the substantially triangular portion where the width of the upper piece 4 narrows.

The snap button 51 is arranged on the longitudinal central axis CL of the upper piece 4 at the same position as the snap buttons 52 and 53 .

As shown in FIG. 3, the snap buttons 51b, 52b and 53b of the upper piece 4 are engaged with the snap buttons 51a, 52a and 53a of the lower piece 3 so that the lower piece 3 and the upper piece 4 overlap each other. A loop 7 is formed around which the belt B is retained and threaded.

Then, by pulling up the upper piece 4 in the direction of the longitudinal central axis CL and the tip thereof toward the base, the snap buttons 51, 52, 53 are disengaged and the loop 7 is opened ( Figure 2). At this time, the snap buttons 51, 52, 53 are disengaged from the snap button 51 in the stage (lower stage) on the tip side, and then the snap buttons 52, 53 are subsequently disengaged.

Also, as shown in FIG. 1, the tip end portions X of the snap buttons 52 and 53 arranged in the step on the base side and the base end portion Y of the snap button 51 arranged in the step on the tip end side are arranged. overlaps in the removal direction of the snap button 5 (in the direction of the central axis CL in the longitudinal direction of the upper piece 4).

When attaching the handgun holster A to the belt B, the snap buttons 5 (51, 52, 53) of the belt holder 1 to which the handgun holster A is attached are removed, and the lower piece 3 and the upper piece 4 are overlapped. Keep loop 7 open.

Then, with the handgun holster A facing outward, the case mounting piece 2 is applied to the outer surface (back surface) of the belt B, the upper piece 4 is placed on the lower piece 3 on the body side of the belt B, and the snap button 5 is engaged. do.

As a result, the loop 7 is closed around the belt B and the handgun holster A is attached to the belt B's outer surface.
Alternatively, the loop 7 may be closed and formed in advance, and the belt B may be passed therethrough.

Three snap buttons 5 (51, 52, 53) are arranged in the width direction of the lower piece 3 and the upper piece 4. The snap button 51 on the tip side of the upper piece 4 and the snap buttons 52, 53 on the base side are Since the snap buttons 5 are overlapped in the removal direction (the central axis CL direction of the longitudinal direction of the upper piece 4 ), not only the independent engagement force of each snap button 51 , 52 , 53 but also the tip of the upper piece 4 Since the snap button 51 on the side and the snap buttons 52 and 53 on the side of the base work together, there is no fear that the snap button 5 will come off easily, and the lower piece 3 and the upper piece 4 are securely held in an overlapping state. do.

When removing the pistol holster A from the belt B, it is desirable to first remove the belt B wrapped around the waist.

When removing the belt holder 1 from the belt B, all the snap buttons 5 (51, 52, 53) are removed, and the lower piece 3 and the upper piece 4 are separated to open the loop 7, and the belt holder 1 is removed. At the same time, remove the pistol holster A from the belt B.

At that time, the upper piece 4 of the belt holder 1 is pulled up from the tip side in the removal direction (in the direction of the central axis CL in the longitudinal direction of the upper piece 4). Since only one snap button 51 is provided on the step on the tip side of the upper piece 4, even the snap button 51 with a strong engaging force can be removed with a relatively weak force, and the upper piece 4 is pulled up as it is. , the moment due to the lifting force is added, and the two snap buttons 52, 53 provided on the step on the base side can be easily removed even with a relatively weak force.

In addition, the distal end portion X of the snap buttons 52 and 53 arranged in the base-side step and the base-side end portion Y of the snap button 51 arranged in the distal portion side step are aligned with the distal end portion of the upper piece 4 . Since the upper piece 4 overlaps in the direction of removal of the snap button that pulls up the part toward the base side (in the direction of the central axis CL in the longitudinal direction of the upper piece 4), the engagement force of the snap buttons 52 and 53 on the base side and the snap button on the tip side overlap. In cooperation with the engaging force of 51, the upper piece 4 and the lower piece 3 can be reliably held in an overlapped state, and the engagement of the snap button 51 on the tip side is released and the snap button 52 on the base side is released. , 53 are continuously disengaged so that they can be removed easily and quickly.

Even when a thief tries to detach the belt holder 1 attached to the belt B worn by the user from the belt B and rob the user of the belt B, the present configuration is effective as follows.

When a thief tries to rob the belt holder 1 from the belt B, the thief must reach the overlapped surface of the upper piece 4 and the lower piece 3 in order to open the loop 7. Since the overlapped portion where the lower piece 3 and the upper piece 4 overlap is on the side of the body of the wearer's belt B, it is difficult to insert the hand.

The upper piece 4 protrudes from the portion where the snap buttons 52 and 53 of the stage on the base side are attached so as to gradually narrow toward the tip portion where the snap button 51 of the stage on the tip side is provided. Therefore, it becomes difficult for a robber's finger inserted inside the belt B to reach the tip of the upper piece 4, and it becomes difficult to pull up the tip to open the loop 7.例文帳に追加
In addition, since the tip of the tapered shape is on the side of the body of the belt B, the thief cannot visually confirm the belt, and he/she feels his/her way, and it takes time to remove it.

When a thief tries to snatch the belt holder 1 from the belt B, the snap button pulling up the tip of the upper piece 4 toward the base is not removed (in the direction of the central axis CL in the longitudinal direction of the upper piece 4). , the force from the robber often acts in an obliquely upward direction (for example, the direction of arrow Z1 or arrow Z2 shown in FIG. 1). In that case, the snap button opposes not one but two engagement forces (for example, the force in the direction of arrow Z1 is resisted by snap buttons 51 and 52, and the force in the direction of arrow Z2 is resisted by snap button 51). , 53), making it difficult to open the loop 7.
The tip of the upper piece 4 extends from the portion where the snap buttons 52 and 53 on the base side (upper stage) are attached toward the tip where the snap button 51 on the tip side (lower stage) is provided. The upper piece 4 protrudes so that the width becomes gradually narrower, that is, the upper piece 4 has a tapered shape along the tip side. Therefore, even if a thief puts his/her finger in and tries to pull up the upper piece 4 in the normal removal direction (direction of the central axis CL in the longitudinal direction), the tapered shape prevents it from being pulled up obliquely upward (in the direction of arrow Z1 or Z2). It will be converted, and as described above, the engagement force of the two snap buttons will oppose each other.
