Holster for Handheld Radio

摘要

The radio holster incorporated a lock mechanism that automatically actuates when the radio is inserted into the holster and is deactivated by pressing on the radio in a small downward and outward direction. The radio holster includes pliable front and back covers affixed to a rigid support frame. The support frame has a recessed channel that as a guide track and a button cavity that acts as keyhole for locking the radio inside holster. The wall forming the button cavity wall is back cut or angled to form an upper lip, which is configured to receive the button head of a coupling mechanism used by the radio to restrictively hold the radio within the holster. The support frame also carries a back spring that exerts a lateral force on the radio when seated within the holster to push the bottom of the radio laterally away from the support frame and a bottom spring that exerts a force on the radio when seated within the holster to push the bottom of the radio upward within the holster.
