. 7, 1948. B. v. WITTE WATERPROOF PISTOL HOLSTER I Gr .2.
Filed Sept. 15, 1946 INVENTOR ATTORNEY Patented Dec. 7, 1948 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 2,455,635 WATERPRQOF PISTOL HOLSTER Byron v. Witte, Birmingham, Ala.
Application September 13, 1946, Serial No. 696,684
1 Claim. 1
This invention relates to a water-proof pistol holster, and has for its main objects to provide such a holster that will be highly satisfactory for its purpose, comparatively cheap to produce, simple in structure, and very attractive in appearance. It often becomes necessary to protect a pistol against water to prevent rusting of its exterior finish and internal mechanism. The present invention will protect the pistol even if submerged in water. Other advantages will appear from the drawing and description.
By referring to the drawing, part of this application, it will be observed that Fig. l is a vertical center sectional View of the holster on line I-l of Fig. 2, and a pistol indicated by broken lines within the holster, and the top of the holster also in open position indicated by broken lines; Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view on line 2-2 of Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a cross sectional View on line 3-3 of Fig. 1 assuming the view to be full; Fig. 4 is a detail view of the hinge portion of the holster on line 4-4 of Fig. 1 assuming the view to be full; and Fig. 5 is a detail cross sectional view on line 5--5 of Fig. 1 assuming the View to be full.
Similar reference numerals refer to similar parts throughout the several views.
Referring to the drawing in detail it will be seen that the device comprises a main rigid body I with a top portion 2 that forms a joint3 in which is inserted a round rubber gasket 4. This gasket 4 may be solid or in the form of a small rubber tube. It is attached in a groove in the edge of the body portion 1 or in a registering groove in the top portion 2, whichever is more satisfactory to forma water-tight joint when the top 2 is latched by any suitable springlatch such as indicated by 8. A hinge 5 holds the top 2 swingable on the body portion 1. When the holster is closed the pistol 6, 1 is completely within the holster and the water-tight joint protects it against water.
The holster may be made of any material suitable for the purpose but I prefer to use plastic for the main portions with such metal parts as are necessary. The holster is preferably made all material and partly of flexible material, providing the gasket joint can be closed in Water-tight condition. 1
While I have shown and described the preferred embodiment of my invention, I do not wish to limit same to the exact and precise details of structure, but reserve the right to make all modifications and changes so long as they remain within the spirit and scope of the followin claim.
Having described my invention I claim:
lln a pistol holster comprising: a case having a narrow interior portion adapted for the barrel of a pistol to fit therein, a larger interior portion integral with the barrel portion and adapted for the main body and handle of a pistol to fit therein, said larger interior divided transverse to the barrel into two divisions with one half of the large interior portion hinged to the other portion; a water tight gasket embedded in the edge of the portion of the case having the barrel portion integral therewith, a snap spring fastener attached to the free end of the hinged portion, said hinged portion adapted to fit tight upon the gasket in the other portion and there be held by the said snap spring fastener to form a water tight joint between the hinged portion and the other part of the case.
BYRON V. WITTE.
