DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Please refer toFIG.1toFIG.3, the present invention provides a pluggable holster assembly1that includes a gun body2, a holster body3and a limiting device4.

The gun body2includes a gun head21, a main part22, a trigger part23and a gun handle24. The gun head21has a muzzle211and connects to one end of the main part22. The gun handle24is connected to the main part22and away from one side of the gun head21. The trigger part23is connected to the main part22and the gun handle24. Furthermore, an accommodating groove25is created between the trigger part23and the gun head21.

The holster body3includes an accommodating space31and a hole32. The accommodating space31penetrates both ends of the holster body3along a first direction91. The accommodating space31accommodates the gun head21and the trigger part23. The hole32is located on one side of the accommodating space31. In this embodiment, the first direction91is a direction along which a line between two ends of the holster body3extends, but not limited to this.

The limiting device4is disposed in the hole32, and the limiting device4includes a buffer block41. The buffer block41extends from the hole32to the accommodating space31along a second direction92. When the buffer block41is located at a first position81, the buffer block41extends from a surface of the accommodating space31at a first distance D1.

When the gun body2is inserted into the holster body3, the muzzle211is inserted into the holster body3from one side of the accommodating space31along a path5, and one end of the gun head21abuts the buffer block41, so that the buffer block41is located at a second position82. Additionally, the end of the gun head21abuts a surface of the buffer block41, and the surface is an arc surface, a plane or a surface composed of a plurality of planes connected in series.

When the muzzle211moves to another side of the accommodating space31, the holster body3covers the gun head21and the trigger part23, and the buffer block41is located in the accommodating groove25and restricts the gun body2from moving.

In addition, when the gun body2is drawn from the holster body3, the muzzle211moves from another side of the accommodating space31to a different side of the accommodating space31. An open end of the accommodating groove25abuts the buffer block41, and the buffer block41is moved out of the accommodating groove25so that the gun body2is taken out.

Furthermore, the first direction91is the direction along which the gun holster2extends, that is, the insertion direction along which the gun body2is inserted into the holster body3. The buffer block41extends from the hole32to the accommodating space31along the second direction92, that is, the direction along which when the buffer block41extends into the accommodating slot25. In this embodiment, the first direction91and the second direction92are perpendicular to each other, but not limited thereto.

Please additionally refer toFIG.4, in one embodiment, one side of the holster body3corresponding to the hole32is recessed along the first direction91to form a gap6. Therefore, the path5can be a polyline path that passes through the gap6, and turning points of the path5are located on the buffer block41.

In embodiments ofFIG.5,FIG.6AandFIG.6B, the limiting device4further includes a box body42, an adjuster43and a spring44. The box body42has a groove421. One end of the adjuster43is connected to the groove421, and one end of the spring44is connected to another end of the adjuster43. Another end of the spring44is connected to the buffer block41, so that the buffer block41can be located at the first position81or the second position82via the spring44.

When the gun body2is inserted into the holster body3, one end of the gun head21abuts the buffer block41, so that the spring44is squeezed, and the buffer block41compresses the spring44from the first position81along the second direction92, thus, the buffer block41is located at the second position82. When the buffer block41is located at the second position82, the buffer block41extends from a surface of the accommodating space31at a second distance D2that is less than the first distance D1.

In embodiments ofFIG.7, the limiting device4further includes an adjusting screw45that is arranged in a through hole422of the groove421. One end of the adjusting screw45abuts another end of the adjuster43.

When the adjusting screw45performs a rotational displacement movement71along the center line of the through hole422as the central axis, the adjusting screw45accordingly performs a linear displacement movement72along the second direction92, and one end of the adjusting screw45abuts another end of the adjuster43, so that the adjuster43performs the linear displacement movement72.

Additionally, when the adjusting screw45performs the rotational displacement movement71(e.g., clockwise rotation), the adjuster43performs the linear displacement movement72along a direction close to the accommodating space31, and the adjuster43will compress the spring44, so that the space between the buffer block41and the adjuster43decreases. Therefore, the compressible space of the spring44becomes smaller, this means that the gun head21needs to exert a larger impact force against buffer block41so as to move the buffer block41from the first position81to the second position82.

On the other hand, when the adjusting screw45performs the rotational displacement movement71(e.g., counterclockwise rotation), the adjuster43performs the linear displacement movement72in the direction away from the accommodating space31, and the adjuster43will gradually release the spring44, so that the space between the buffer block41and the adjuster43increases. Therefore, the compressible space of the spring44becomes larger, this means that the gun head21exerts a smaller impact force against the buffer block41so as to move the buffer block41from the first position81to the second position82.

That is, adjustment of the adjuster43and the spring44by the adjusting screw45to move the buffer block41from the first position81to the second position82determines the desired impact forces.

In addition, the rotation direction of the adjustment screw45, the compression or reduction of the spring44by the adjuster43, and the relationship between the related elements can be properly modified in other various embodiments.

In embodiments ofFIG.8, the limiting device4further includes at least one fixed pin46, and the fixed pin46is disposed on one side of the box body42. The fixing pin46penetrates the holster body3so that the limiting device4is fixed in the holes32. In this embodiment, two of the fixing pins46are sown as an example, but not limited thereto.

In embodiments of the current invention, the pluggable holster assembly features in the design of the gun holster. For example, the gun head and the trigger part are accommodated in the accommodating space to prevent the trigger from accidental operation that causes safety problems, thereby improving security.

Furthermore, through the design and combining of the accommodating groove and the buffer block, one-handed operation can be performed, and the drawing and reholstering of the gun body for the holster body becomes more efficiently. Specifically, the accommodating groove and the buffer block can be quickly limited and released quickly during operation that improves the drawing and reholstering speed of pistols (or firearms).

Additionally, through the design of the gap and the buffer block, the user can reholster the gun body into the holster body through the path in smoothly.

While this invention has been described with respect to at least one embodiment, the invention can be further modified within the spirit and scope of this disclosure. This application is therefore intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of the invention using its general principles. Further, this application is intended to cover such departures from the present disclosure as come within known or customary practice in the art to which this invention pertains and which fall within the limits of the appended claims.
