Abstract
Description
- This application is a nonprovisional of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/585,866, filed Jan. 12, 2012, by the same inventors, the benefit of the filing date of which is hereby claimed, and the entire disclosure of which is incorporated by reference.
- This invention relates to a concealment holster—that is, a handgun holster that is designed to be concealed under a jacket or shirt, or even under the waistband of a pair of trousers. Some such holsters have either hard leather or laminate backing which does not allow heat dissipation and wicking of moisture. In addition, the hard backing creates hot spots 86 discomfort when worn over time.
-
FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of a holster that is an embodiment of the invention; -
FIG. 2 is a back perspective view of a clip that forms part of the holster ofFIG. 1 ; and -
FIG. 3 is a schematic side view showing a portion of the holster with the clip. - This invention relates to a concealment holster. The invention is applicable to holsters of varying configurations. As representative of the invention,
FIGS. 1-3 illustrate aholster 10 that is a first embodiment of the invention. - The
holster 10 includes aplate 12 that is supported on the user's belt B (FIG. 3 ) by twobelt clips 14. - The plate 12 (
FIG. 1 ) supports apocket 16 in which the handgun (not shown) is received and supported. - The two
belt clips 14 are, in this embodiment, identical to each other. Eachbelt clip 14 is made from molded plastic material. - Each
clip 14 has a configuration as best seen inFIGS. 2 and 3 . A C-shapedouter section 20 of theclip 14 has aslot 22 for receiving the user's belt B. - A
support web 26 extends away from the top back side of the C-shapedouter section 20. Afirst portion 28 of thesupport web 26 extends downward, parallel to the C-shapedouter section 20. Asecond portion 30 of thesupport web 26 extends laterally inward for a short distance, and athird portion 32 extends downward to form a mounting section of theclip 14 that is spaced farther inward from the C-shapedouter section 20. - Four
screw holes mounting section 32 of theclip 14. Three of thescrew holes 40 are located in an arc that is centered on and above thefourth screw hole 42. - When the
clip 14 is mounted on theplate 12, as shown, themounting section 32 of the clip lies flat against the front surface of the plate. Afirst mounting screw 44 extends through thelower screw hole 42 of theclip 14 and into theplate 12. Thisfirst mounting screw 44 acts as a pivot. - A
second mounting screw 46 extends through a selected one of the threeupper screw holes 40 of theclip 14. Choosing one or the other of the threeupper screw holes 40 sets the pivotal position of theclip 14 on theplate 12. This sets the forward/backward cant of theholster 10 relative to the belt B. - The waistband 50 (
FIG. 3 ) of the user's trousers can fit into the gap between the C-shapedouter section 20 and thefirst portion 28 of thesupport web 26. Thehem 52 of the user's shirt can fit into the gap between thefirst portion 28 of thesupport web 26 and theplate 12. As a result, theholster 10 provides several available levels of concealment. - The backside (facing the user) of the
plate 12 is lined with afoam backing material 54 to eliminate discomfort such as hotspots, and to add comfort to the body when theholster 10 is being worn for long periods of time. One preferred material is TemperDri UB Lining available from Emtex Inc. of Danvers, Mass. - The backside (facing the user) of the foam backing is coated with a
spacer mesh material 56 that is antibacterial and antimicrobial, to inhibit the growth of micro-organisms and to wick away moisture caused by perspiration. One preferred material is Milco Industries Style 1877 fabric, available from Milco Industries of Bloomsburg, Pa.
