US12546564 - Locking belt slide

A locking belt slide assembly is used to mount and to support an implement (such as a handgun, for example) or an implement holster (such as a handgun holster, for example), or the like (e.g., various pouches, holders, accessories, etc.), in a variety of configurations. The locking belt slide assembly includes at least two pivotally coupled hard mount components with features that form a locking receiver when pivoted into a parallel arrangement. A mounting adapter may be inserted into the receiver.

The patent describes a locking belt slide assembly designed to securely mount firearms or holsters in various configurations, featuring pivotally coupled hard mount components that form a locking receiver. An adapter is included to ensure a secure fit within the receiver pocket, preventing unwanted movement of the mounted implement.

Claim 1

1 . A holster mounting assembly, comprising: a belt slide front comprising a first substantially planar hard mount component; a receiver integral to or coupled to the belt slide front, the receiver having a receiver pocket with a preselected perimeter shape, wherein the receiver pocket is defined by a frame disposed around at least a portion of a perimeter of the first substantially planar hard mount component, the frame including a groove at an interior edge of the frame; a belt slide back comprising a second substantially planar hard mount component, a top of the second substantially planar hard mount component pivotally coupled to a top of the first substantially planar hard mount component via a hinge; a belt slide lock integral to or coupled to a portion of the belt slide back, the belt slide lock comprising a curved ledge with a groove at an interior edge of the curved ledge, disposed at a lower portion of the second substantially planar hard mount component such that each end of the curved ledge aligns with a lower end of the frame when the first substantially planar hard mount component is disposed substantially parallel to the second substantially planar hard mount component; and an adapter arranged to be coupled to an implement or an implement holster, the adapter comprising a substantially planar component with a perimeter having at least a portion of the preselected perimeter shape of the receiver pocket, the adapter configured to be inserted into the receiver pocket and to securely fit within the receiver pocket when the belt slide lock is aligned with the frame of the receiver, wherein the adapter prevents the first substantially planar hard mount component from being pivoted away from the second substantially planar hard mount component while the adapter is within the receiver pocket. a belt slide front comprising a first substantially planar hard mount component; a receiver integral to or coupled to the belt slide front, the receiver having a receiver pocket with a preselected perimeter shape, wherein the receiver pocket is defined by a frame disposed around at least a portion of a perimeter of the first substantially planar hard mount component, the frame including a groove at an interior edge of the frame; a belt slide back comprising a second substantially planar hard mount component, a top of the second substantially planar hard mount component pivotally coupled to a top of the first substantially planar hard mount component via a hinge; a belt slide lock integral to or coupled to a portion of the belt slide back, the belt slide lock comprising a curved ledge with a groove at an interior edge of the curved ledge, disposed at a lower portion of the second substantially planar hard mount component such that each end of the curved ledge aligns with a lower end of the frame when the first substantially planar hard mount component is disposed substantially parallel to the second substantially planar hard mount component; and an adapter arranged to be coupled to an implement or an implement holster, the adapter comprising a substantially planar component with a perimeter having at least a portion of the preselected perimeter shape of the receiver pocket, the adapter configured to be inserted into the receiver pocket and to securely fit within the receiver pocket when the belt slide lock is aligned with the frame of the receiver, wherein the adapter prevents the first substantially planar hard mount component from being pivoted away from the second substantially planar hard mount component while the adapter is within the receiver pocket.
