Abstract

An improved holster holding device for fastening a holster onto a wearer includes a belt angle adjustment for changing an angle between a belt and a belt plate. Holster adjustment means for changing an angle between a belt plate or clip-on plate and a holster are included. The holster adjustment includes arcuate slots for accepting fastening devices that fasten the holster to the belt or clip-on plate.

Claims (28)

1. A holster holder for securing a holster to a wearer in a desired attitude, the holster holder comprising:

a plate;

a first arcuate slot defined through the plate, wherein the first arcuate slot is capable of allowing a first fastening means to extend therethrough;

a second arcuate slot defined through the plate, wherein the second arcuate slot is capable of allowing a second fastening means to extend therethrough;

a third slot defined through the plate below the first and second slots, the third slot comprising a compound slot formed by the intersection of two arcuate slots, wherein the arc centers of the two arcuate slots are located above the compound slot, wherein a point of intersection of the two arcuate slots forms the highest point of the compound slot, and wherein the third slot is capable of allowing a third fastening means to extend therethrough;

wherein the three fastening means are capable of engaging three points of attachment defined on a holster;

and wherein a relative angle of the holster to the plate is adjustable by coordinated adjustment of the three fastening means within each of the three slots.

2. The holster holder set forth in claim 1 wherein the three fastening means comprise screws.

3. The holster holder set forth in claim 1 further comprising a U-shaped slot for attachment of the plate to a portion of the wearer's clothing in a clip-on manner.

4. The holster holder set forth in claim 1 further comprising at least two further slots defined through the plate for receiving and securing the plate to a wearer's belt.

5. The holster holder set forth in claim 4 wherein each of the at least two belt receiving slots further comprises adjustment means for adjusting the height and the angle at which the belt passes through the slot.

6. The holster holder set forth in claim 1 wherein the holster is adjustable to predefined angles based upon the positioning of the three fastening means in selected indents formed in the plate wall for engaging the fastening means.

7. The holster holder set forth in claim 6 wherein the fastening means comprise screws and wherein the selected indents formed in the plate wall engage the heads of the screws.

8. The holster holder set forth in claim 6 wherein the plate comprises at least three belt receiving slots defined therethrough and wherein two of the belt receiving slots are formed in a vertical manner such that one is above the other, thereby providing alternative paths for the belt through the plate, thereby providing for adjustment of the relative angle between the holster holder and the belt.

9. The holster holder set forth in claim 8 wherein each of the belt receiving slots further comprises adjustment means for adjusting the height and the angle at which the belt passes through the slot.

10. A holster holder for securing a holster to a wearer in a desired attitude, the holster holder comprising:

a plate;

means for attaching a holster to a side of the plate, wherein the means for attaching the holster to the plate comprises a first arcuate slot defined through the plate, wherein the first arcuate slot is capable of allowing a first fastening means to extend therethrough, a second arcuate slot defined through the plate, wherein the second arcuate slot is capable of allowing a second fastening means to extend therethrough, a third slot defined through the plate, below the first and second slots, the third slot comprising a compound slot formed by the intersection of two arcuate slots, wherein the arc centers of the two arcuate slots are located above the compound slot, wherein a point of intersection of the two arcuate slots forms the highest point of the compound slot, and wherein the third slot is capable of allowing a third fastening means to extend therethrough;

at least two slots defined through the plate for receiving and securing a wearer's belt to the plate; and

repositionable adjustment means extending through each slot for adjusting a relative height and angle of the plate with respect to the belt.

11. The holster holder set forth in claim 10 wherein the plate comprises at least three belt receiving slots defined therethrough and wherein two of the belt receiving slots are formed in a vertical manner such that one is above the other, thereby providing alternative paths for the belt through the plate, thereby providing for adjustment of the relative angle between the holster holder and the belt.

12. A holster holder for securing a holster to a wearer in a desired attitude, the holster holder comprising:

a plate;

a first arcuate slot defined through the plate, wherein the first arcuate slot is capable of allowing a first fastening means to extend therethrough;

a second arcuate slot defined through the plate, wherein the second arcuate slot is capable of allowing a second fastening means to extend therethrough;

a third slot defined through the plate below the first and second slots, the third slot comprising a compound slot, wherein the compound slot is formed by two intersecting arcuate slots, wherein the arc centers of the arcuate slots are located on the same horizontal plane above the arcuate slots and at points equidistant from, and on opposite sides of, a bisecting vertical centerline, and wherein the radii of the arcuate slots are identical to one another and always greater than or equal to the respective distances between each center and the bisecting centerline and whose point of intersection forms the highest point of the compound slot because the non-intersecting ends of each of the two arcuate slots always terminate when the non-intersecting ends intersect with the vertical centerline of their own centers, and wherein the third slot is capable of allowing a third fastening means to extend therethrough;

wherein the three fastening means are capable of engaging three points of attachment defined on a holster;

and wherein a relative angle of the holster to the plate is adjustable by coordinated adjustment of the three fastening means within each of the three slots.
