Descriptions of well-known components and processing techniques may be omitted so as to not unnecessarily obscure the embodiments of the invention. The examples used herein are intended merely to facilitate an understanding of ways in which the invention may be practiced and to further enable those of skill in the art to practice the embodiments of the invention. Accordingly, the examples and embodiments herein should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention, which is defined solely by the appended claims and applicable law.



FIGS. 1 and 2 show front and rear views (respectively) of an exemplary waist area of pants 100 (trousers, shorts, etc.) according to aspects of the invention. Pants 100 include outer belt loops 112, front pockets 110, back pockets 130, inner belt openings 120, inner pockets 114, 116 within the front pockets 110; and hidden pockets 140. However, various other embodiments of the invention need not include all of these features.


Inner belt openings 120 may allow access to a concealed belt slot (e.g. not open to the outside of the pants) between the inner and outer fabric of the waistband. Inner belt openings 120 may be spaced substantially equally apart, such as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3A, or they may be arranged in pairs (with a larger gap between each pair), such as shown in FIG. 3B.


In embodiments, a belt, retaining strap or other elongated member may be disposed at least partially in the concealed belt slot, and may comprise a length of select materials that prevent slipping and enhance holster stabilization, such as BioThane@, nylon, etc.


In embodiments, the concealed belt slot may run substantially throughout, or only partly around the waistband of the pants.


In some embodiments, the inner belt openings 120 may be cut in a piece of material that extends at least partially around the waist portion. In some examples, the “openings” may be formed between, or reinforced by, pieces of fabric that extend at least partially around the waist portion, such as elements 124 shown in FIG. 3C′.


In some embodiments, a securing mechanism may be disposed in the belt slot (as generally indicated by the dashed line 202 in FIG. 4), including a stiffener, sewn-in hooking material, reinforcements, and/or injection molded hooking features, etc. The securing mechanism may be configured to prevent a belt or retaining strap disposed in the belt slot from pulling out, e.g. when a holster is secured to the belt.


With a belt, retaining strap or other elongated member 210 threaded through the concealed belt slot and the openings, a firearm, such as handgun 300, may be directly secured in the waistband of the pants (e.g. as shown in FIG. 5), or a low-profile holster 220 may be secured by routing the belt/webbing over and/or through attachment points on the holster (such as shown in FIG. 6). It is noted that, although FIG. 6 shows webbing running substantially behind the holster, an alternative arrangement may be to run the webbing substantially over the holster, and back into the concealed belt slot (as described further in FIG. 12).


Returning to FIG. 2, hidden pockets 140 have openings (approximately the width of direction C) along the seam 150, which is disposed between the outer belt loops 112 and the openings of back pockets 130. Placing the opening for the hidden pockets 140 along the seam 150 allows the pockets to be unobtrusive during normal wear, and can allow things like cash or credit cards to be placed in a pocket that is not apparent to casual observation. Hidden pockets 140 may also be sized and configured to hold firearm magazines 310 or the like (such as shown in FIG. 7), and may have width C and depth B sized accordingly. For example, for a 30 round M4 magazine, the width may be about 4 inches and the depth may be about 7 inches. Pockets for handgun magazines may be smaller, e.g. around 2 inches×3-5 inches. Multiple hidden pockets may be positioned adjacent to each other, or spaced apart, more or less than shown in FIG. 2. In some examples, the hidden pockets can be sized (larger or smaller) to conceal/store rifle or pistol magazine for quick access. Additionally, the hidden pockets can be sized to retain a full size pistol 300 without the need for a holster (e.g. with the width between 3-6 inches and depth between 6-8 inches).


In embodiments, the opening of the hidden pocket may be between one or more bar tacks 142, 144, or other reinforced attachments, of the seam.


As shown in FIGS. 1 and 8, inner pockets 114, 116, 414 and/or 416 may be sized and configured to hold at least one of a smart phone 402, a folding knife 404 (e.g. with a blade length over 3 inches), or other accessories. In embodiments, each inner pocket may have a top opening that starts about 1 inch below the opening of the front pocket, as shown in FIG. 1. In other examples, the opening may be closer to the actual pocket opening, like inner pocket 414 in FIG. 8. In some examples, the inner pocket may have a different orientation than that of the pocket 110, e.g. the seams and/or opening of the inner pocket may be aligned at different angles than that of the pocket 110, such as generally shown in FIG. 8, inner pocket 416. This can assist, for example, in helping to prevent items in the inner pockets from falling out. In embodiments, each inner pocket may have a width of approximately 2-4 inches, preferably about 3 inches, and a depth of approximately 4-6 inches, preferably about 5.5 inches.


According to further aspects of the invention, methods of manufacturing pants may include assembly of parts such as those described above using techniques as understood by those of skill in the art, and which are not described in unnecessary detail herein.


According to further aspects of the invention, a holster system may include a holder 500 like shown in FIGS. 9A-9C. FIG. 9A is a side view, FIG. 9B is a top-down view, and FIG. 9C is a rear view. As best seen in FIG. 9A, holder 500 may include a plurality of slots 511-513 configured to allow a retaining strap or similar material to pass through. As best seen in FIG. 9B, the holder 500 may also include an opening 502 configured to at least partially receive a firearm, preferably a handgun (see also FIG. 6). The holder 500 may be a substantially monolithic piece of thermoplastic elastomer or similar material that is at least one of molded, machined, cast, or 3-D patterned. In embodiments, the outer surface 504 of the holder 500 may be substantially symmetrical about the middle axis (e.g. axis “A” looking down on the holster as shown in FIG. 9B, looking from head on, and/or from behind as shown in FIG. 9C). The holder 500 can be substantially rigid and maintain the matching contours of the opposing surfaces. This can allow the holster to be flipped and used ambidextrously, without changing the surface contour of the holster. In embodiments, the outer surface of the holder 500 may be relatively smooth, and devoid of attachment mechanisms such as loops, hooks, etc. In some instances, the slots 511-513 can be replaced, or supplemented, with surface contours that allow the holster to be secured between the belt and the pants without threading the belt through the pants.


As also shown in FIGS. 9A, 15A and 15B, the plurality of slots may include a front slot 511 that is forward of the opening 502, a back slot 512 that is rearward of the opening 502, and at least one tilt slot 513 that extends at least partially below and/or above, and at a different angle than, at least one of the front slot 511 or the back slot 512. This allows the holster to be mounted at a different angle with respect to the belt, as shown in FIGS. 15A-15B. In some examples, the holster system may include hooks or other attachment means that allow the holster to be secured in alternative ways.


In embodiments, the front slot 511 and the back slot 512 may be spaced apart a first distance that is approximately the same as a spacing between inner belt openings on a pair of pants, such as those described herein.


Although described in the context of a firearm holster, “holders” as described herein may be configured to hold various different items, such as pistol magazines, rifle magazines, radios, flashlights, Tasers, mace or pepper spray, folding or fixed blade knives, or any other piece of equipment that a user may want to secure to their person. In some examples, a holster system may include a holder that is configured to hold a firearm, and one or more other holders configured to hold one or more magazines for the firearm, each of the holders configured (e.g. with appropriately spaced slots) to be secured to similar belt openings using retaining straps that are appropriately sized for the individual holder.


Returning to FIG. 6, a holster system may include pants 100 with a plurality of outer belt loops 110 and a plurality of inner belt openings 120 around a waist portion of the pants, the inner belt openings 120 disposed at a first spacing around the waist portion, and a holster 220 including an opening configured to at least partially receive a firearm, such as handgun 300, and a plurality of slots (such as shown in FIG. 9A) configured to receive a retaining strap 210 therethrough. The slots on the holder 220 may be spaced apart from one other at approximately the same distance as the first spacing, or at a multiple of the first spacing. For example, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, the slots of the holder 220 are spaced apart at a distance that is approximately 4 times the distance between each of the inner belt openings 120, allowing fine adjustment of the location of holder 220 around the waistband. In embodiments, a plurality of different holders 220 may be provided, each of which may be configured to receive a differently sized handgun but have the same slot spacing.



FIGS. 10A and 10B show additional details of exemplary retaining straps. As shown in FIG. 10A, a retaining strap 601 may include a strap portion 610, and retaining elements 612. In some examples, the strap portion and the retaining elements may be made from different materials, may have different thicknesses, or may be configured to have different flexibility. For example, the retaining elements 612 may be made from plastic, and the strap portion 610 may be made from nylon webbing. In the example retaining strap 601 shown in FIG. 10A, the retaining elements 612 have free ends that are biased toward the ends of the retaining strap 601. This may be achieved, for example, by attaching one or more pieces of retaining element material to the strap portion 610. In the example retaining strap 602 shown in FIG. 10B, the retaining elements 614 have free ends that are biased toward the middle of the retaining strap 602.


As further shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, a retaining strap 600 may be relatively small compared to a complete waist belt, e.g. about 1.5-3× the length of the holder 500, or 8-12 inches long. The retaining strap 600 may include a short length of different material (e.g. at 620 or other part of the strap portion 610 or retaining elements 612, 614) that prevents slipping and enhance holster stabilization, such as BioThane®, nylon, etc. The retaining strap can be routed substantially behind (as in FIG. 11) or in front (as in FIG. 12) of the holder 200, and can allow the holder 200 to be secured to the waist belt in either left or right orientation.


As further shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, a retaining strap 600 may be inserted into inner belt openings 120 (see FIG. 13) and prevented from pulling back out via retaining elements 616. FIG. 14 shows one side of an example in which a strap portion 630 extends away from retaining element 616 and the junction of retaining element 616 and strap portion 630 engages with the inner waistband fabric (or other reinforcing material) 650 to prevent the retaining strap from withdrawing from the concealed belt slot. In this example, the strap portion could extend around a holder (like 500), and enter another inner belt opening 120 (not shown) with a similar engagement mechanism, which would position the holder 500 along the waistband without allowing the retaining strap 600 to pull out of the concealed belt slot while the pants are worn via tension in direction “X.” With the pants removed, tension on the retaining strap 600 may be released, and the retaining strap 600 extracted from the concealed belt slot by pushing the retaining element 616 opposite direction “X” until the junction is no longer engaged with the fabric 650.


In some examples, the retaining strap shown in FIGS. 11-14 may include a pair of strap portions that are configured to be inserted in the belt slot, and a middle portion attached to each of the strap portions and configured to engage with a holster. The middle portion may be attached to the strap portions at positions such that each of the strap portions, or a stiffener attached to the strap portions, extend beyond the attachment positions.



FIGS. 15A and 15B show how a holder 500 may be positioned at different angles by routing the retaining strap 600 through different slots. In FIG. 15A, the retaining strap 600 is routed through a back slot 512, resulting in a “flat” angle with the opening 502 substantially parallel with the waistband of the pants. In FIG. 15B, the retaining strap 600 is routed through another slot 513, resulting in the opening 502 being non-parallel with the waistband of the pants.


Although described in the context of a concealed belt slot, the retaining strap and holder configurations described herein may also be applied in various other contexts, such as attaching the holder to other tactical equipment or clothing with similar openings that the retaining strap may engage with.


While various embodiments have been described above, it is to be understood that the examples and embodiments described above are for illustrative purposes only and that various modifications or changes in light thereof will be suggested to persons skilled in the art, and are to be included within the spirit and purview of this application and scope of the appended claims. Therefore, the above description should not be understood as limiting the scope of the invention as defined by the claims.
