Concealment pocket holster

This invention relates to a special handgun holster that is capable of concealing a handgun on a person who is wearing only walking shorts and no shirt. Concealing the handgun is accomplished by enveloping the grip end of the handgun inside a pouch that appears to be a large truckers wallet protruding slightly from the pants pocket or walking shorts pocket and camouflaging the muzzle end of the handgun in the lower part of the front pants pocket or walking shorts pocket by adding a block of material to break up the outline of the handgun. In addition a metal bar is placed through the pouch to keep the handgun securely in the pants or walking shorts pocket and to position the pouch around the handgun grip.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
This invention is related to devices for carrying a handgun concealed on a 
person's body, and especially to a holster for carrying a handgun 
concealed in a pants pocket. 
Law enforcement officers and other persons who are authorized or licensed 
to carry a concealed weapon often wish to carry a handgun completely 
concealed on a person's body. The best complete concealment concept means 
that the handgun is still completely concealed after a person removes any 
coat or shirt or any other outer garment. 
Holsters designed for carrying handguns partially or completely concealed 
are not new, and many types of handgun concealment holsters are well 
known. These ordinary handgun concealment holsters are often less than 
satisfactory in many situations. For example, the usual shoulder holster 
is readily visible whenever a wearer removes or unbuttons a coat or 
jacket. 
Many types of handgun concealment holsters are attached inside or outside 
of the wearer's belt to be concealed by the wearer's coat. Handguns 
carried in belt mounted holsters of pryor art are normally visible when a 
coat is not worn, thus do not conceal the handgun for informal dress 
occasions. 
Another example of handgun concealment holster is the ankle holster. The 
ankle holster offers almost complete concealment of the handgun by 
attaching it to the ankle by a strap around the ankle and concealment by 
the pants leg. Ankle holsters are almost always very uncomfortable for 
most persons and obviously out of easy reach on most occasions. 
Another type of handgun concealment holster is strapped directly to the 
wearer's body sometimes behind a shirt or brassiere. This offers good 
concealment but leaves the handgun far too difficult to reach in an 
emergency situation. 
One more type of concealment holster is literally fastened to the wearer's 
shirt tail, but then it must be behind or below the pants belt and inside 
the pants. This works fine for a very small handgun but would show a very 
large bulge if used with even a medium sized handgun. 
All of the aforementioned handgun concealment holsters require the wearer 
to wear at least a shirt and in the case of the shoulder holster a coat in 
addition except for the ankle holster which requires long pants legs and 
is clumsy to use. 
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
This particular invention solves many of the problems still present in the 
prior art by presenting a handgun concealment holster which is designed to 
carry a handgun in a pants pocket and more particularly, totally hidden 
from view in either of the two front pants pockets. More particularly, 
this handgun concealment holster is comprised of two or more components in 
a special design to camouflage the shape and outline of the handgun in the 
pocket. A large handgun in a pants pocket must show a large bulge in the 
same pants pocket, but in this invention the large bulge is made to appear 
to be something other than a handgun, and more particularly, the large 
bulge of a trucker's wallet. In addition this invention causes the pants 
pocket to appear to contain a number of small articles in the bottom of 
the pocket instead of the large handgun. In particular, the upper 
component of this invention while in the pants pocket appears to be a 
trucker's wallet protruding from the pants pocket, but in reality is a 
cover for the handgun grip and serves to secure the handgun in the pants 
pocket. In more detail this upper component is secured in the pants pocket 
by a metal bar. This metal bar is bent in a hook shape at the bottom of 
the upper component and removably hooked around and under the inside of 
the bar tacking at the bottom of the opening to the pants pocket. This 
metal bar extends upwardly through the upper component of this invention 
and is fastened to a typical trucker's wallet chain at the top end of the 
upper component of this invention. The other end of the trucker's wallet 
chain is fastened to the pants belt in the same manner as the connection 
on a real trucker's wallet chain. In additional detail the lower component 
of this invention consists of one or more objects of an appropriate shape, 
size and material positioned in front of or behind the handgun barrel or 
in front of and behind the handgun barrel to hide and camouflage the 
outline and shape of the lower end of the handgun barrel. 
In use the handgun is carried in the pants pocket with the barrel vertical 
or angled to put the muzzle to the rear and the lower holster component in 
the bottom of the pants pocket and the upper holster component protruding 
from the pants pocket opening. To draw the handgun the wearer merely 
pushes in on the bottom end of the metal bar which causes the hook to 
release from around the bar tacking and the upper holster component then 
falls away allowing the wearer to simply pull the handgun out of the 
pocket very quickly. 
Accordingly, it is an object of this invention to provide an improved 
handgun concealment holster, a holster that completely conceals a handgun 
on a person, a holster that completely conceals a large handgun in the 
pants pocket of a person and a holster that is very comfortable to wear as 
in carrying almost anything in a person's pants pocket. An additional 
object of this invention is to provide a handgun concealment holster that 
does not require a shirt or coat or even long pants legs for concealment 
of the handgun. 
The preferred embodiments of this invention will become apparent by a study 
of the following discussion.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS 
The front right pants pocket 1. is used to carry the handgun 2. A piece of 
leather, leatherette, vinal or similar appearing material 3. is formed 
like a pouch around the grip of the handgun to conceal the said grip and 
to appear like the upper part of a large trucker's wallet. The leather 
pouch 3. is held in place by rivets to the metal bar 4. placed vertically 
inside the leather pouch 3. The lower end of the metal bar 4. is bent 
especially to hook inside the pocket 1. under and around inside the bar 
tacking 9. located at the bottom of the normal opening to the pocket 1. to 
secure the lower end of the metal bar 4. and leather pouch 3. The upper 
end of the metal bar 4. stays just inside the leather pouch 3. out of 
sight and is fastened to the said leather pouch 3. and a strong decorative 
chain 5. by a strong decorative ring 8. or a rivet. The other end of the 
said chain 5. is fastened to the belt loop 7. or better still around the 
waist belt 6. beyond the belt loop 7. to secure the said chain 5. and 
upper end of the metal bar 4. While secured top and bottom the metal bar 
4. positions the leather pouch 3. around the said handgun grip and secures 
the handgun 2. within the pocket 1. 
A short piece of plastic pipe 10. serves to break up the outline and shape 
of the lower part of the handgun 2. in the pocket 1. 
The drawing FIG. 1. shows a right front pants pocket, however, this same 
holster works equally well in the left front pants pocket, simply by 
reversing the holster. 
While details of this invention have been shown and described, this 
invention is not limited to the above and is intended to cover all changes 
and modifications that fall within the spirit and scope of this invention.
