Patent number: 11740052Abstract: Representative implementations of devices and techniques provide locking systems and/or retention mechanisms for an implement holster (such as a handgun holster, for example). Additionally, an implement holster having one or more locking systems and/or retention mechanisms is also described. Locking systems and retention mechanisms may be used individually with a holster or combined for multi-level security of the implement. The one or more locking systems can provide obstruction to the removal of the implement from the holster until intentionally unlocked by the user. Locking systems include hood locks, ejection port locks, and sight covers. Adjustable retention mechanisms can provide a desired retention of the implement while holstered, retaining the implement until a sufficient force is applied to remove the implement.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2021Date of Patent: August 29, 2023Inventors: Timothy Treto, Drew Stephens, Igor Shirobokov, Silas Van Natter, Taylor Vold

Patent number: 11378356Abstract: Representative implementations of devices and techniques provide a thigh mount assembly, to mount and to support an implement (such as a handgun, for example), an implement holster (such as a handgun holster or shell, for example), or the like, along with one or more accessories (duty pouches such as magazine carriers, a baton holder, a pepper spray canister, flashlight, or other carriers or accessories, for example) in a variety of configurations while worn on a person. Alternately, the thigh mount assembly may be used as a support for additional accessories (e.g., weapons, tools, instruments, supplies, etc.) as desired, such as accessories that are desired to be carried on the person. The assembly includes one or more removable or permanent attachment devices that may be used to temporarily or permanently attach the one or more accessories, as well as multiple attachment points that may also be used in like manner.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2020Date of Patent: July 5, 2022Inventors: Timothy Treto, Taylor Vold, Drew Stephens

Patent number: 11320237Abstract: Representative implementations of devices and techniques provide a holster mount assembly, to mount and to support an implement (such as a handgun, for example) or an implement holster (such as a handgun holster or shell, for example), or the like, in a variety of configurations. The holster mount assembly is arranged to be worn on a user's person, clothing, or gear (backpacks, gear packs, accessories, straps, belts, etc.), for example, for temporarily and safely carrying the implement, while making the implement easily accessible to the user. In various embodiments, the holster mount assembly is comprised of two primary components, where one of the two components is coupled to the implement or implement holster.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2020Date of Patent: May 3, 2022Inventors: Thomas Tedder, Silas Van Natter, Timothy Treto, Drew Stephens
