Pocket holster
View Patent ↗A system for securing a device to a person by way of their clothing. Method of use is to deploy a ferromagnetic strip coupled with the device on one side of an article of clothing, and a magnet on the opposite side of the article of clothing. The ferromagnetic strip may include a recessed area to receive the magnet. The strip may be coupleable with holsters or cases for guns, phones, or other devices, such as medical devices, radios, or cameras. Some methods of use include two or more ferromagnetic strips and a magnet, wherein one strip is disposed on the surface of the device, one or more strips are disposed with the device inside a pocket or on one side of an article of clothing, and the magnet is disposed outside the pocket or on the other side of an article of clothing. Designed for low profile.
1. A system for carrying a device, comprising:
at least one first ferromagnetic area disposed on at least one surface of the device;
at least one second ferromagnetic area configured to interact with the at least one first ferromagnetic area, the at least one second ferromagnetic area including at least:
a first raised area;
a second recessed area; and
a third raised area, wherein the first and third raised areas are substantially co-planar; and
at least one magnet configured to be removably received by the at least one second ferromagnetic area, the at least one magnet configured to fit within the second recessed area.
2. The system for carrying a device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one second recessed area is configured to receive a specific shape of the at least one magnet.
3. The system for carrying a device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one ferromagnetic area is removably coupled with the device.
4. The system for carrying a device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one ferromagnetic area is permanently coupled with the device.
5. The system for carrying a device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one second ferromagnetic area is configured to receive the at least one first ferromagnetic area.
6. The system for carrying a device of claim 5 , wherein the at least one second ferromagnetic area is configured to receive the at least one magnet on at least one first side of the at least one second ferromagnetic area, and wherein the at least one second ferromagnetic area is configured to receive the at least one first ferromagnetic area on at least one second side of the at least one second ferromagnetic area, wherein the at least one second side is opposing the at least one first side of the at least one second ferromagnetic area.
7. The system for carrying a device of claim 5 , wherein the first raised area, second recessed area, and third raised area are substantially aligned such that the at least one ferromagnetic area resembles a rectangular strip.
