Description

RESTRAINING SYSTEM TO BLOCK A FIRE-ARM INSIDE A HOLSTER
Technical field
The present invention concerns the technical field relative to the holsters for fire-arms, for example automatic guns or revolvers.
In particular, the invention refers to an improvement relative to the restraining system of the arm inside the holster. Background art
Restraining systems integrated into the holster itself have long been known, in order to block the firearm in safety position inside the holster and avoid unauthorized or accidental extractions thereof (for example due to an accidental fall) .
Such safety systems are very important, above all during intervention actions (gunfights, retaliations, robberies, etc.), in order to avoid that the dedicated staff, provided with such arms, can have their arms taken out of the holster during a scuffle, for example hand-to- hand. At the same time, however, such systems for the extraction of the arm have to result of easy and rapid operation for those who are in possession of the holster and that are obliged to a sudden extraction of the arm, also under stress and adrenaline conditions.
American patent US8235263 describes two restraining systems integrated into the holster and of which one acts on the bridge of the arm and the other one closes itself in a restraining manner against the stock of the arm. The system that refers precisely to the restraining on the bridge concerns a lever hinged to the holster. Such a lever foresees an end which can be rotated between a position in which it is inserted in contrast against the bridge of the arm inside the cavity of the holster arid a position in which it is freed from such a position. In particular, a spring keeps the lever rotated in a position in which its end results arranged inside the cavity of the holster, engaging against the bridge of the arm and thus blocking the arm in position. A pressure action on the lever through a finger of the user, generally while he grasps the handle of the arm at the extraction with the palm of the hand, allows to rotate the lever in such a way that the end does not result engaged anymore against the bridge of the arm.
In this rapid and simple way, when the arm is grasped, the user can contextually free the arm by pushing with the finger the lever and thus extracting the arm.
The same solution has also been described in US5918784.
The type of solution described above has some technical problems.
The lever has to have one of its ends that penetrates in the holster in a specific position so as to engage against a part of the arm, generally the bridge, to block it in position. Contextually, the lever has to be in a position that is easily reachable by the finger of the user, while the arm is being grasped to free it, making it rotate. The use of a single lever with a single rotation axis does not render the realization and the positioning of a lever easier that contextually satisfies these two requirements. The result, therefore, is that the levers of the known art as described above not always result positioned in points that are reachable in an automatic and natural way at the moment of the grasp. Moreover, it is often required a significant pressure that, under critical or stress conditions, could even impede the correct unblock thereof. Basically, the action of pressure on the traditional lever, to allow the unhook, has to be of a high entity and the positioning of the point of pressure of the lever does not result favorable with respect to the position of the hand that grasps the arm.
Under critical conditions of stress and adrenaline, during a military action, also a disengage of the bridge that does not result totally facilitated can accidentally impede the correct extraction of the arm by the operator, with serious consequences for his safety.
In US2004/0195282 the preamble of claim 1 is described.
In particular, a double-lever blocking/unblocking system is described and of which one lever acts in contrast against the bridge of the arm, while the other lever serves precisely to activate the lever that acts on the bridge of the arm in such a way as to move it between its two extreme blocking/unblocking positions.
The arrangement of the levers, in particular of the lever that is pressed to unblock the arm, is however not optimal and obliges, as for example shown in figure 23 of US2004/0195282, to the use of the middle finger, thus rendering poorly intuitive and difficult the extraction of the arm and the grasp thereof.
Disclosure of invention
It is therefore the aim of the present invention to provide a restraining system of an arm, applied to the holster of the arm itself, which solves said technical inconveniences .
In particular, it is the aim of the present invention to provide a holster for a fire-arm provided with a restraining system that results operable, in order to free the arm, in a rapid manner, favouring the natural grasp of the arm and without requiring high pressure values .
These and other advantages are obtained with the present holster in accordance with claim 1.
The holster for a fire-arm, which is the object of the present invention, comprises a restraining system (X, Y) to block the arm inside the holster.
Such a restraining system (X, Y) foresees a first lever (X) hinged to the holster through a first rotation fulcrum (3) in such a way as to result rotatable between a blocking position, in which at least one of its ends (1) is placed in contrast with the bridge of the arm, impeding the extraction thereof when in use the arm is inserted in the holster, and an unblocking position, in which the lever rotates in a position that frees the arm.
A second lever (Y) is further foreseen, also hinged to the holster, preferably through a second rotation fulcrum (4) different from the first rotation fulcrum (3) .
Such a second lever (Y) is further arranged in a collaborating manner with the first lever (X) in such a way that, when the first lever (X) is in a blocking position for the arm, a rotation in a direction of said second lever (Y) causes also a rotation of the first lever (X) around its first rotation fulcrum (3) that conducts said first lever from the blocking position to the unblocking position.
The second lever (Y) foresees an area (5) suitable for being pressed by the finger of a user for causing the rotation thereof.
In accordance with the invention, the first lever (X) and said second lever (Y) are in contact between them through an end (2) of the first lever (X) placed below the area (5) of the second lever (Y) in such a way that/ in correspondence of a pressure on the area (5) , said area (5) pushes on the end (2) of the first lever (X) r causing a rotation thereof from said blocking position to the unblocking position.
This solution easily solves said technical inconveniences since the use of a second lever collaborating with the first lever gives greater freedom in selecting an idoneous position to facilitate the operation of the restraining system as a hole/ without having to modify in an inadequate manner the lever physically appointed to block the arm. In fact, a first lever can be constructively realized paying attention to that fact that it should block efficiently the arm and then, coupling to it in contact a second lever, this can be realized of area and in such a position as to favour the operation thereof. Such a solution also allows the free choice of an own rotation axis of the second lever (Y) , also different from the axis of the first lever (X) , allowing positionlngs that facilitate the operation and the force required to generate the rotation.
The fact that the pressure area of the second lever is placed in contact over the end of the first lever allows a positioning of the system so that the extraction of the arm takes place with a more natural and instinctive motio .
It is also here described a further embodiment of holster for a fire-arm that comprises a restraining system (X, Y) to block the arm inside the holster.
Such a restraining system (X, Y) foresees a first lever {X) hinged to the holster through a first rotation fulcrum (3) in such a way as to result rotatable between a blocking position, in which at least one of its ends (1) is placed to block the arm, impeding the extraction thereof when in use the arm is inserted in the holster, and an unblocking position, in which the lever rotates in a position that frees the arm.
Moreover, it is further foreseen a second lever (Y) also hinged to the holster, preferably through a second rotation fulcrum (4) different from the first rotation fulcrum (3) .
Such a second lever (Y) is further arranged in a collaborating manner with the first lever (X) in such a way that, when the first lever (X) is in a blocking position for the arm, a rotation in a direction of said second lever (Y) causes a rotation also of the first lever (X) around its first rotation fulcrum (3) that conducts said first lever from the blocking position to the unblocking position.
In particular, in accordance with such a further embodiment of the invention, the second lever (Y) comprises an extension end (7) configured in such a way as to realize a further block of the arm when the second lever (Y) is in such a position that the first lever (X) results in the blocking position and realize an unblock of the arm when said second lever (Y) is rotated in the position that conducts the first lever (X) in the unblocking position.
Advantageously, said extension end (7) forms a receiving seat {!'), the holster foreseeing a cover (W) arranged in such a way as to obstruct the cavity of insertion of the arm in the holster/ the cover being rotatable between an opening position, in which it frees the access to the cavity, and a closing position, in which it obstructs such a cavity, the cover (W) forming an appendix (W ) suitable for engaging inside the receiving seat (7') in such a way that said second lever (Y) realizes the rotational block of the cover (W) , Further features of the invention can be deduced from the dependent claims.

Description of some preferred embodiments
Figure 1 therefore shows, in a lateral view, a holster in accordance with the present invention.
The holster can obviously be realized in any shape and material.
Preferably, it is realized in plastic materials in such a way as to form, in fact, a containment shell for the arm of a pre-determined rigidity.
The rigidity of the holster renders more functional, as clarified below, the operation of the restraining system that is the ob ect of the present invention.
The productive process of the holster can be, for example, by moulding, thermoforming or injection moulding or other method.
The material used for the realization of the holster can foresee plastic, polymeric, synthetic, natural components, etc., such as ABS, ydex, Acetal resin, Polypropylene, Polyester, Polyamide, Aytrel, Nylon, Leather, Cordura, Kevlar, Carbon fiber and others, also combined among them and in different percentages.
Figure 3 shows better a top view that shows the internal part of the holster.
The holster therefore forms a receiving cavity conformed in such a way as to hold the arm.
It is clear that the holsters can be realized precisely in different forms and measures in order to result adaptable to hold any fire-arm.
Specifically, figure 3 shows the internal cavity that is delimited by lateral walls (10, 20), by an under site 30, which delimits the arm on the part of the trigger and the bridge, and by one side of back 40 opposed to that of under site.
The under site 30 forms in fact, inside it, a sort of guide, delimited by two lateral walls 51, in order to hold the bridge of the arm itself.
Naturally the holsters, being of any shape and measure, can also foresee a single continuous wall (for example, a circular shape) or any number of walls.
As shown in figure 1, the lateral wall 10 (or indifferently the one opposed 20 represented in figure 1A in an inverted case) is worked in such a way as to foresee a specific lodging for the restraining system that is the object of the present invention.
As shown in figure 1A the holster, on the opposite part to the preceding one (wall 20), can foresee receiving holes to apply to them inserts or screws in order to fix the holster, for example, to a specific belt. Such a solution is anyway known art and is not the object of the present invention and for that reason it will not be further explained in detail here.
Always figure 1 and 1A describe a holster provided with a further restraining system of the arm in the shape of a rotatable cap (W) , which is known art and that will be described below.
The restraining system that is the main object of the present invention comprises two independent parts (X, Y) , separated and cooperating between them, in such a way that through the operation of a component (Y) the movement of the second component is operated as well (X) so as to free the arm.
The first component (X) is visible in figure 2 assembled on the holster, while in figure 7 it is represented in isolation and out of the holster. Such a component (X) is in fact in the shape of a lever (X)' of a pre-determined shape that determines the physical block, on the bridge of the arm.
Such a lever, as per figure 7, therefore foresees an appendix 1, which . is deputized to enter in contrast against the bridge of the arm, in such a way as to bind it in position inside the holster.
The opposite part 2, as better clarified below, is in contact with the second component (Y) in such a way that a movement of (Y) is transmitted also to the lever (X) through said physical contact between said two components .
Interposed between the two parts (1, 2) a passage 3 is foreseen for a rotation axis (for example, a pivot) . To that aim, the passage is obtained by forming in the body of the lever two eyelets 3 through which a pivot is inserted in such a way that the lever results rotatable around the fulcrum 3.
Figure 2 shows very clearly the rotation axis 3, or the fulcrum 3, of the component (X) when this is assembled on the holster through the pivot.
The component (X) can be realized in such a way as not to interfere necessarily with the bridge of the arm, in order to realize the block, but also with other parts of the same arm.
The holster, as per figure 1, foresees two complementary holes 3' (see figure 1) inside which the pivot is inserted to fix rotatably the lever (X) to the holste .
For clarity purposes, figure 3 shows the appendix 1 when this is inserted in a specific opening obtained in the holster in such a way as to allow it to penetrate in the cavity of the holster and be in contrast against the bridge of the arm (or eventual other part of the arm) .
Subsequent figure 4 shows the appendix 1, retracted, to free the arm (see the direction of arrow applied to the appendix) .
The blocking position in which the appendix goes in contrast against the bridge of the arm, or the position in figure 3, is a position that is kept constantly thanks to specific means that constrain the lever X to keep itself in the position of figure 3 (first elastic means).
Such means are well known in the state of the art and can comprise, for example, one or more springs, of the torsional type and applied to the pivot that passes through the fulcrum 3. ,
When the lever (X) is rotated in the disengaging position (position in which it frees the bridge of the arm as per figure 4) , it returns in engaging position as per figure 3 as soon as it is released thanks to the action of such a spring.
The shape of the pivot 1 can be such that, when the arm is progressively inserted in the holster, the bridge that enters in contact with a surface of the appendix 1 generates a force on the lever itself that tends to make the lever, and therefore the appendix, rotate towards the disengaging position of figure 4. As soon as the bridge enters totally in position and climbs over the appendix 1, then automatically the spring takes the lever (X) back in such a position that the appendix is blocked in contrast against the internal surface of the bridge.
The detail of figure 7 shows a working of the appendix 1 that foresees an Inclined surface 1 arranged in such a way as to generate a force in the direction indicated in figure 4 to make the lever X rotate in such a way as to allow the insertion of the arm.
The expert in the field will be able to see how different angles and arrangements of the surface 1' can be selected in order to obtain said technical effect.
Going on with the structural description of the invention, with reference to figure 2, the second component (Y) is foreseen, cooperating with the lever (X) .
Such & second component (Y) is itself a second operating lever which is separated and disjointed from the first lever (X) . It is fixed to the holster through an own rotation axis 4 (second rotatign fulcrum) highlighted in figure 5 and in figure 2.
The two rotation axes are substantially orthogonal between them but, naturally, also different angles could be foreseen on the basis of the shapes and dimensions of the holster where applied, in order to find the best compromise between necessary operation pressure and ease of reach of the finger of the user.
Such rotation axes can therefore be inclined between them of any angle, for example comprised between 0 degrees and 90 degrees, excluded the parallel position of the axes that would not allow a correct work of the levers.
The lever (Y) is structurally described in detail in figure 5 and in figure 6.
Figure 6 shows the surface 5 which has such a ahape as to hold the fingertip of a finger of the user and favour the pressure thereof.
Figure 5 shows the rotation axis 4 with the rotation pivot applied, that is the fulcrum around which said lever rotates .
Always in figure 5 the pressure 6 is highlighted that is generated on the surface 5 when this is pressed and that causes a rotation of the lever Y around the axis .
Figure 8 schematizes the positioning of the levers (X, Y) with the respective rotation axes (3, 4).
Naturally, the perfect orthogonality of the positioning between the components, represented in figure 8, is not essential for the functioning of the invention and therefore different angles could be selected, as mentioned above.
Basically, the lever X has its end 2 placed below the lever (Y) .
A pressure in the area 5 of the lever Y causes a rotation of the lever itself around the axis 4 in accordance with a direction that tends to press the end 2 of the lever X placed below. In this manner, a part of the lever Y, placed in contact with the end 2, acts on said end 2 of the lever X, obliging the lever X to rotate around the fulcrum 3 (clockwise rotation of figure 10) in a disengaging position, that is the position represented in figure 4 in which the appendix 1 is retracted from the cavity of the holster. The same figure 8, for clarity purposes, shows the pressure acting on the part 5 and shows with a dotted line the relative positions that the two levers assume following said pressure, that is the rotation of the lever Y and the contextual rotation of the lever X in the disengaging position.
Basically, the lever Y has a rotation axis 4 arranged in such a way that the eventual pressure exerted on the zone 5 (that is the one that overhangs the zone 2 of the lever X) makes such a zone 5 rotate towards the cavity, therefore squashing the underlying lever X on the part of its end 2 and making the lever X rotate in such a way that the appendix 1 is extracted from the cavity, freeing the arm.
Unlike the known art, the user does not press directly the lever X taut operates the same by pressing a further lever Y placed in contact with the lever X. -
This gives the possibility to arrange and dimension the lever Y in such a way as to facilitate the unblocking of the arm, rendering the same efficient and rapid.
Also the lever Y can foresee similar means to those of the lever X, for example a spring, so that when the pressure of the finger on the area 5 is removed, the spring takes the lever Y automatically back in lifted position, allowing the lever X to rotate through the own spring in the engaging position (position of figure 3), following the movement of the lever Y.
Alternatively, the spring of the lever X can be calibrated to make also the lever Y rotate when the user releases the area 5.
Further, it would be possible to foresee a spring applied to the lever Y but so as to push the same against the lever X in order to press one against the other one and guarantee a continuous contact. In that case, the spring of the lever X has to be calibrated to make also the lever Y rotate when the user releases the area 5.
Figure 8A therefore shows an extraction phase in which the user grasps the handle of the arm and with the index finger presses the lever y in its area 5, realizing the unblock, and therefore the extraction of the arm, through the consequential rotation of the lever X.
Figure 8A shows very well how the use of a second lever allows much more easily to position the system in axis with respect to the middle finger, favouring the natural grasp of the arm and reducing the force necessary to operate the unblock. Above all, a greater pressure area 5 can be realized more easily that "follows" the development direction of the finger that operates the unblock. This favours and facilitates a lot the unblock, reducing the pressure value required and rendering the movement much more natural.
In this and also in the subsequent variant of the invention, which will be described right below, the lever X is to be intended that can anyway engage itself also with any other part of the arm and not only and exclusively with the bridge, in order to realize the desired block, even if the block of the bridge allows an overall positioning that■ is much more ergonomic (see figure 8A) .
A variant of the invention is therefore described in figures from 9 to 11.
In this case, the lever Y foresees an extension 7 on the opposite part of the area 5 with respect to the fulcrum 4. Figure 9 shows with the letter W the further restraining system introduced also in figure 1 that is in the shape of a sort of cover or cap W arranged rotatable around the axis 100 and fixed through said fulcrum 100 on top of the holster to obstruct the cavity of entry for the arm.
Such a cover can be rotated between an opening position, in which it frees the entry to the cavity for the insertion/extraction of the arm, and a closing position, in which it obstructs such an entry, impeding the insertion/extraction of the arm.
In such a manner, the combined effect of the levers (X, Y) and of such a cover W, when the arm is inserted in the holster, assures a greater safety in the restraining of the arm.
The document introduced in the known art US8235263 describes a solution thus found of rotatable cover W.
In accordance, therefore, with such an embodiment of the invention, the block/unblock of the cap W is realized through the same lever Y, in particular through such an extension end 7.
Also in this case the cap W is provided with an own spring that conducts it automatically i "open" rotated position when unbound from the extension end 7, allowing the insertion/extraction of the arm.
The extension end 7, as per figure 10, penetrates in a specific opening obtained in the holster to allow it the access in contact against a part of cap W. Such an end 7 is worked in such a way as to form a receiving seat 7' .
As shown in figure 11, the part of cap W addressed towards such a receiving seat T forms an appendix W suitable for being held inside said receiving seat 7', realizing the block.
The receiving seat 7' forms superiorly an inclined cover 17. Also the appendix W foresees an inclined side. In fact, such inclinations form invite, therefore, when the receiving seat 7' is in the blocking, position of figure 10 (that is addressed towards the internal cavity) , the cap can be rotated from the "open" position of figure 11 to the "close" position of figure 9. In this way, the Invito of the appendix W climbs over the inclination 17, inserting itself in the receiving seat r and . binding in said close position the cover thanks to the action of restraining of the extension end 7.
In this embodiment, until the lever Y is in the position in which the receiving seat 7' is kept against the cap W, the cap is naturally impeded to rotate.
As soon as the receiving seat 7' is far from the cap W, the appendix W exits from the receiving seat 1' and the cover W rotates in open position thanks to the action of specific means, for example the spring.
To that aim, always figure 9 shows a functioning scheme that will be described right below.
With the blue colour it is shown the embodiment in which the lever Y, hinged around the fulcrum 4, is placed in contact with the lever X (yellow colour) which is in blocking position on the bridge, of the arm, while the extension end 7, on the opposite part to the fulcrum 4, blocks contextually the cap (green colour) .
When the user presses the area 5, the lever Y rotates in the embodiment represented by the lever Y of black colour. In this embodiment the lever X is pushed to rotate in the position represented by the lever X of violet colour in which it frees the bridge of the arm and, contextually, the extension end 7 rotates getting far from the cap, thus making that the receiving seat 7' separates from the appendix W . In such a manner, contextually, the cap rotates thanks to the spring automatically in "open" position (that of figure 11 or 12) .
At the completion of what has been said, it is noted that the solution described in which the end engages with the appendix W is not to be considered limiting.
For example, the extension end 7 could work exactly as described but engage directly against a part of the arm inserted in the holster, for example by realizing such an end of an adequate shape and length. In that case, a double block would be realized anyway without the need for the presence of the cap W described or even with the further presence of the cap that unbinds itself with a separate system.
It is clear that the solution in which the lever Y presents a lengthened end to realize a further block (or on the eventual cap W or directly on the arm) is not a main and essential solution but only a further improving variant of the present invention.
For descriptive completion, figure 12, last, shows two buttonholes 110 obtained on the two sides of the cap W and sliding with respect to two pivots 120 fixed with respect to the holster. The buttonhole-pivot coupling serves as a guide that stabilizes laterally the cap during its opening and closing rotation, providing at the same time a stop that blocks the rotation of the cap between two extreme positions ("open"/"close") .
Naturally, the present restraining system can be applied to any holster.
The realization of holsters in rigid material, for example plastic, as said above, naturally favours the operation of the levers since the rigid structure creates the right force reactions in response to a pressure applied to the lever, avoiding that the holster collapses on itself. Nevertheless, nothing would exclude an application of the present invention also on holsters in fabric and therefore not rigid.
