  • Patent number: 12601555
    Abstract: A magazine retention device includes a housing having a front surface and a back surface, a firearm attachment member for securing the magazine retention device to a portion of a firearm, a movable stop lever which includes a tab extending from a base member, the base member including an abutment face, and a pushing member which is urged against the abutment face by a biasing device. The movable stop lever has a locked position, in which the pushing member presses against the abutment face, which causes a portion of the movable stop lever to be pressed against a portion of the housing, such that the movable stop lever is sandwiched between the pushing member and the housing.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 12523444
    Abstract: A holster includes a holster housing having an opening for inserting therethrough a weapon, a retention release lever including a shaft that has a pusher member and an inclined surface, and a holster retention tab pivotally coupled to the holster housing by a pivot element. The holster retention tab includes a catch, which lockingly engages an ejection port of the weapon when the weapon is inserted into the holster housing, and a force inclined surface. A biasing device is mounted in the holster housing to apply an urging force on the holster retention tab so as to retain the catch in the ejection port when the weapon is inserted into the holster housing. The inclined surface pushes against the force inclined surface, thereby creating a force vector that causes the holster retention tab to pivot about the pivot element and overcome the urging force of the biasing device and release the catch from the ejection port.

  • Publication number: 20250271237
    Abstract: A holster includes a retention catch arranged to enter a portion of the weapon to be in a locked position. A release lever is coupled to the holster housing, which includes a shaft arranged to push against a catch interface member that can move the retention catch out of the locked position. The release lever includes a tab which in an initial position rests on a first surface in the holster housing. The release lever is movable so that the tab moves towards a channel formed in the holster housing and the release lever is movable to overcome a biasing force of a biasing device so that the release lever enters into the channel and pushes against the catch interface member to move the retention catch out of the locked position into an unlocked position. Without application of any force on the release lever, the biasing device urges the tab against a second surface and the release lever cannot return to the initial position.
