Description

Baton holder

Technical field

The present invention relates to a kind of Baton holder that on a belt, belt etc., keeps a baton to use.The present invention be more particularly directed to the Baton holder that a kind of retractable spontoon is used.

Background technology

The shape of the Baton holder that police strength is used traditionally is similar to broach shell, is suspended on the belt.This retainer generally includes the part of two connections, and these two parts interconnect around a substantially horizontal axis rotation, are kept with a predetermined relative fixed position (card is taken-hold function).The first of this Baton holder is used to connect user's belt, and is not connected movably with belt basically in use, and its second portion is designed to seal the baton part, and it is pivotally connected to first.

For example, when police/one guard enters a car, a traditional Baton holder like this must be rotated to the position of a basic horizontal from a vertical substantially position, so that avoid producing undesirable pressure between baton lower end and user's thigh.When coming out in car, Baton holder will remain on the position in the car, take-stop position unless it is returned to vertical card by the artificially.Just forget such manual steps easily or do not have such time in emergency.So this just produces the danger of losing baton, particularly under the situation that he has to run.In addition, take at frequent card-stop position between frequent transitions will make the joint inordinate wear.

Existing technical scheme has solved in all cases all baton flatly has been carried at problem on the belt.But in fact these schemes exist one or more shortcomings.Their design that basic is can not guarantee that the user runs or finish and do not lose baton when other fiercely moves safe enough.Simultaneously, the third party is generally than being easier to " snatching " baton, because the fact is that baton is not by fastening or protection well.

WO01/30611A1 has described a kind of Baton holder that flatly carries baton.Prevent the undesirable axially-movable of baton by a horizontal expansion part (6) is set, this extension slips in the respective transversal groove of this retainer by the rotation of baton, thus in described groove sealed this extension 6.

Summary of the invention

So the purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of Baton holder, otherwise the user does not need to adjust baton from the standing place to position that is seated or variation at every turn.

Another object of the present invention provides a kind of Baton holder that is used in particular for retractable spontoon, can prevent between safeguards that baton from losing.

A further object of the present invention provides a kind of Baton holder, and the user only just can make baton be converted to stand-by state user's hand from retainer with a hand.

In order to realize the foregoing invention purpose, the invention provides a kind of retainer that is used to carry a baton, this baton is connected to a belt, this Baton holder comprises one first keeper and one second keeper, this first keeper is designed to surround this baton, the handle end that makes baton is freely, described first keeper is constituted or is comprised a kind of material of flexibility by a kind of material of flexibility, and comprise a locking device, this locking device is suitable for closing respectively and open the gap in this first keeper, this second keeper is designed to surround baton than first keeper away from this handle end, described second keeper is made of a kind of material with a hole or comprises a kind of material with a hole, the end diameter of the baton that the diameter that this hole has is intended to surround greater than described second keeper reluctantly, it is characterized in that, described first and second keepers have the form of separating component, can be connected to described belt by slotted hole, bring into play the function of an integral unit, baton is remained on the position that is parallel to described belt.

Baton holder according to the present invention comprises two keepers that are connected to user's belt, so as baton can sometimes all be maintained at the position that is parallel to belt.Usually this Baton holder is carried on the conventional belt, but also can be by across user's trunk or carry abreast with a upper arm basically.This retainer also can be set on the supporting construction of a relative stiffness, and this structure will be carried on user's the thigh, and preferably its upper end is crossed a connection piece and hung on a conventional belt.In the case, at the connector that hangs on belt with attach between the rigidity supporting structure of user's thigh a joint will be arranged.By making Baton holder, for example resemble the vest that constitutes a uniform or a bullet-proof vest part as a integral part such as clothes such as vests.When being connected to such clothes, the supporting construction of a relative stiffness will be positioned at clothes, to guarantee the distance of substantial constant between the keeper of these two separation.

In above-mentioned Baton holder, first keeper is designed to seal in such a way baton, and promptly the handle end of baton is freely.Most of retractable spontoons do not have specially designed handle, but at one end can be held and the other end is extendible.The outermost of such baton integral body has substantially invariable diameter and common uniformly surface, between its handle end and remainder without any tangible border.

To and come with reference to the accompanying drawings to describe in more detail by an embodiment below according to Baton holder of the present invention, wherein

Fig. 5 is that the keeper according to Fig. 1-4 is equipped with the schematic side elevation that baton is connected to a belt.

The specific embodiment

Obvious as institute in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, first keeper 1 comprises a support 2, and it has two slotted

holes

3,4, is used for that belt passes through and a circular hole 5, is used for surrounding baton in the zone near baton handle (end).So the diameter in this hole 5 external diameter general and baton is corresponding.Support 2 is not around these hole 5 complete closed, but in a zone gapped 6.Support 2 is preferably made by very durable nature or tartan, and these materials and baton or the belt that is received in the user in the hole 3 generally show high frictional force when contacting.Hole 4 is used for accepting the outer belt free end of bracelet, does not need the high CONTACT WITH FRICTION with band in this hole.So it is wideer than hole 3 that this hole 4 generally is made, and may use other surface treatment method.

Show one around support 2 and be with 7, the end of this band is connected with the appropriate section of snap-fastener 8.Of the present inventionly can comprise the locking device that is not snap-fastener with 7.Gap 6 in the support 2 has a width G (gap) under the unconfinement condition.Size with 7 is, when this snap-fastener during by locking, support 2 some pressurized that becomes is so width G reduces a bit.This reduces the efficient frontier diameter D of circular hole 5.The baton (not shown) is closely kept effectively by support 2 by this way, and this support has high CONTACT WITH FRICTION because of the viscosity and the baton of selected material.

Because the facility of support 2 materials is selected, can be configured as the narrow extension of support itself with 7, thereby make this support and this band be configured as one.It is made than support and band as the separation member manufacturing and interconnect simply and more convenient, has the advantage that each parts is selected special material although separate fabrication scheme.

Fig. 3 and 4 expressions, second keeper 10, it is designed to be carried at a certain distance on user's the belt from first keeper 1, and it is suitable for the effective length of baton.The effective length of described baton means that retractable spontoon is for example pushed away length together fully.This keeper 10 comprises a support 12, and its shape shape with support 2 basically is identical.It is with the different of support 2, and hole 15 formed diameters are suitable for accepting a sleeve 21 that separates, and it is cylindrical hole 22 longitudinally basically that this sleeve has, and the diameter of this cylindrical hole is a bit larger tham the baton diameter of baton handle in the opposite end.So the diameter in this hole 15 is usually greater than the diameter in hole 5, thereby the diameter in hole 5 approximately is the diameter in hole 22.What support 12 also was different from support 2 is that it does not comprise any gap corresponding to the gap in the support 26.Support 12 can by one be similar to 7 be with 17 or reinforcing material surround, it has high hot strength and supporting bracket 12, guarantees the deadend of sleeve 21.This reinforcing band 17 need not separate, so any snap-fastener or analog are not set.

Sleeve 21 preferably by making with the material of the low CONTACT WITH FRICTION of baton, has the hole 22 of selected diameter at least in sleeve.Hole 22 in this sleeve 21 can, but needn't, extend through this sleeve 21 fully.A kind of selection is that the diameter in this hole diminishes, and the end of baton is rested on the shoulder ring 23, and the hole 24 littler than hole 22 diameters guarantee moisture or foul not by trap in this sleeve.This sleeve 21 is typically made by hard plastic material, even also non-friable at low temperatures.

Slotted

hole

3,13 in the

support

2 and 12 will be accepted the enclosure portion of user's belt respectively, and with the high CONTACT WITH FRICTION of belt, make

keeper

1 and 10 in all, all be maintained at same position respectively, even the user in activity, is for example run, climb turnover car etc.So the width in

hole

3,13 should be identical with the thickness of belt, and preferably has coarse surface.In addition, the material thickness T (see figure 2) of the support between

hole

3,13 2,12 and user's health makes this keeper keep stable.

On the other hand, the free end of belt is accepted in the

hole

4,14 in

support

2,12 respectively, so do not need high CONTACT WITH FRICTION between this belt and these bracket holes.So the width that

hole

4,14 generally has is bigger than the thickness of this belt, and the inner surface of

bracket holes

4,14 is processed must be more smooth and not too coarse.

Fig. 5 schematically shows the Baton holder that comprises

keeper

1 and 10, can be connected to belt 31 and baton 32 and how to be installed to retainer.Baton 32 has the handle end that can hold 33 and an end 34, and the sleeve 21 that this end is held part 10 at least partly covers.Usually 34 telescopicallies extend this baton in the end.Belt overlaps behind bracelet 35 and baton, and the free end of belt is received in the slotted hole 4 of support 2, and is also accepted by the slotted hole 14 of support 12 if necessary.The free end with 7 of keeper 1 shown in Figure 5 points to upwards, and the directed in opposite of keeper 1 also can.

Illustrated embodiment of the present invention desires to be connected to a common belt, supposes to have one in the support at least, two slotted holes (being respectively 3,4 and 13,14) preferably.For other embodiment, for example be installed to the retainer of rigidity supporting structure, support can be by not being that the alternate manner of such slotted hole is connected to described structure.

For right hand user, baton can be placed on the left side of health.When needs were taken out baton, the user was with near four fingers of the outermost of its right hand bent handle end 33, simultaneously thumb be located at snap-fastener 8 tops with 7 end.This snap-fastener can be unclamped by thumb, and the handle end of baton is shifted out keeper 1 by the gap in the support 26.By spurring simultaneously arm slightly to the right, the end 34 of baton is discharged from sleeve, so just deviate from keeper 10 fully.When separated with keeper 10 fully baton end 34, baton can be swung fast, so that its end 34 is downward.The synthetic centrifugal force of this oscillating motion and gravity will make retractable spontoon extend to total length.The whole operation of Baton holder from the static state to the moving position only used 1 second.

For the left hand user, identical keeper preferably is installed to the right side of bracelet.For the regular orientation of belt, do not need

hole

4 and 14 in the support.Its operation will be similar to the location of above-mentioned Baton holder.

Two keepers in same side location that replace buckle in also may be connected to a connector bracelet right side and another connector is connected to its left side in addition, and the static position of baton is located substantially on the front of bracelet in the case.The another kind of selection be, baton is carried on the oblique belt or belt or shoulder holster across user's chest, and the language of patent specification is all thought belt to it.First keeper that is to say the holding end of baton when baton is used always near an end of baton handle end.

Replace snap-fastener 8, latching device can be the micro lever (not shown), and for example 0.5cm is high and some extension in its outer end, and this end is connected to and stretches out in the part of band, and this band is fixed to support 2 under the situation in gap 6.Free end with 7 is crossed gap 6 from the top, be provided with a hole or a groove, and this hole or groove snugly cooperate with the elongated end of described micro lever.

Even keeper 1 with 10 by one to the keeper of thinking to separate and so usually manufacturing, but make them with a connector, this connector keeps them a fixed position, thereby Baton holder replaces two elements and is made of an element, also is deemed to be within the scope of the present invention.The another kind of selection be, uses wide a, center rest to connect a belt or belt, and described support can keep first and second keepers like this, and keeper is subjected to displacement mutually.

About manufacturing technology, be element manufacturing easily, and make user's belt guarantee that they do as a whole playing a role as two separation.The variable in distance that these two keeper supports are little can not influence its use conversely, and this is partly because baton 34 can nothing frictionally move forward and backward some centimetres in sleeve 21, and does not have baton can skid off the danger of keeper.As second keeper 10, can use according to the card of prior art and take positioning holding member, although it does not constitute a selection scheme.

Use the separation keeper be arranged to certain distance mutually, make baton be able to stable especially support, but possible be, the mutual vicinity of using the keeper that separates that these are positioned.

Baton can not rotate in keeper 1 and can not move axially, unless open locking mechanism/snap-fastener, it will keep the location always.Even opened locking mechanism (snap-fastener 8) unintentionally, under the help that does not have hand, baton can not pass through gap 6 yet, because gap 6 remarkable diameter less than baton under its unconfinement condition.

Fig. 3, the keeper shown in 4 is made of two parts, i.e. support 12 and sleeve 21, and this support also can be by the sealing of one the 3rd parts, the 3rd parts be with 17 or other strengthen the form of element.Yet homogeneous material manufacturing of whole keeper 10 usefulness also meets the present invention fully.Need in the case to make a special effort to guarantee desirable and baton low CONTACT WITH FRICTION and with the high CONTACT WITH FRICTION of belt.Optimum size by combination bore 13 respectively and 22 and may can satisfy this challenge by the surface treatment in described one or two hole.The parts that this keeper 10 comprises also can more than shown in three.

The formation of the keeper 1 shown in Fig. 1 and 2 also can be a plurality of or several, rather than shown in the figure, and this does not depart from the scope of the present invention yet.

Although from what implement purpose the present invention description is baton, for a person skilled in the art, obviously the present invention is applicable to that also other has the equipment of analogous shape and size, for example resembles battery-driven flashlight etc.
