The disclosure relates to firearm securement systems and more particularly pertains to a new firearm securement system for retaining a firearm adjacent to a wrist of a user.
The prior art describes myriad firearm securement systems, including slings for securing a firearm to a shoulder of a user and lanyards for tethering the firearm to the user's body via a belt or other mounting apparatus. However, the prior art fails to disclose such a device which retains a firearm to the user's wrist and prevents others from wresting the firearm away from the user's wrist.
An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a cord is configured to insert through a lanyard loop of a firearm. The cord is positionable to form a closed loop, and an inner dimension of the closed loop has a size such that the closed loop is configured for receiving a wrist of a user. An adjustment member is slidably mounted on each of a pair of end portions of the cord such that the adjustment member is movable to adjust the inner dimension of the closed loop.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.
The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to
As best illustrated in
The adjustment member 24 comprises a first member 26, a second member 36, and a bias member 40. The first member 26 has a first slot 28 which extends through the first member 26 and receives the pair of end portions 21 of the cord 20. The first member 26 defines a channel 30 which is in fluid communication with and extends transversely to the first slot 28. The channel 30 has an open end 32 and a closed end 34. The second member 36 is received into the channel 30 of the first member 26 through the open end 32. The second member 36 has a second slot 38 which extends through the second member 36 and also receives the pair of end portions 21 of the cord 20. The second member 36 is biased to move the second slot 38 out of alignment with the first slot 28 such that the cord 20 is clamped between the first member 26 and the second member 36. The bias member 40 engages the first member 26 and the second member 36 to move the second slot 38 out of alignment with the first slot 28.
The bias member 40 is a compression spring which is positioned in the channel 30 of the first member 26 between the second member 36 and the closed end 34 of the channel 30. The firearm 12 also comprises a lanyard loop 16, which is positioned on a bottom end 15 of the grip 14. A lanyard loop 16 is a mounting ring which is typically used to secure a weapon to a person's belt or other location on the person's body via a lanyard. The lanyard in many cases comprises a resiliently stretchable material to enable the weapon to be moved away from the person's belt and to draw the weapon toward the belt when the weapon is released, thereby preventing loss of the weapon via inadvertently dropping the weapon. However, in the present invention, the cord 20 is threaded through the lanyard loop 16 to couple the wrist 46 attachment 18 to the firearm 12 and retain the firearm 12 adjacent to the user's 42 wrist 46.
The cord 20 may be elastically stretchable so that the cord 20 may be adjusted to a length at which the cord 20 elastically constricts the user's 42 wrist 46. The cord 20 also may comprise a non-stretchable material. Whichever materials used, the cord 20 and the adjustment member 24 are configured to be sufficiently strong to resist efforts from an individual in wresting the firearm 12 away from the wrist 46 of the user 42.
In use, the hand 44 and the wrist 46 of the user 42 are inserted through the closed loop 22 formed by the cord 20, and the hand 44 grasps the grip 14 of the firearm 12. The second member 36 of the adjustment member 24 is moved toward the closed end 34 of the channel 30 to unclamp the adjustment member 24 from the cord 20. The adjustment member 24 is moved to a selected position wherein the inner dimension of the closed loop 22 is such that the cord 20 lies tightly around the wrist 46, thereby securing the firearm 12 in a position adjacent to the wrist 46. If the individual attempts to wrest the firearm 12 away from the user 42, the cord 20 will be urged against the wrist 46 or the hand 44 and will act to retain the firearm 12 near the wrist 46.
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
