Holster for bow string release or tool
First Claim
1. A holster for a bow string release mechanism comprising:
- a base adapted to be releasably mounted on the inner forearm of a user;
an elongate carrier having a free end adapted to be connected to a bow string release mechanism and a connector end pivotally connected to the base for free-swinging movement of the carrier between a stowed position overlying the base and an extended position projecting from the base for alignment with the user'"'"'s hand;
the base and the carrier having inter-engageable latching formations for releasably retaining the carrier in its stowed position;
an actuator inter-engageable between the base and the carrier for selectively releasing the latching formations; and
an interface device adapted to be connected to the bow string release mechanism and connected to the free end of the carrier and also adapted to engage the user'"'"'s hand;
the carrier in the extended position providing slack between its connector and free ends when a bow string release mechanism is connected to said free end and the interface is engaging the user'"'"'s hand, whereby forces may be transferred, independently of the carrier, between the user'"'"'s hand and a bow string in a bow string release mechanism.

Abstract
A holster for a bow string release or other tool comprises a base mountable on the inner forearm of a user and an elongate carrier pivotally connected to the base for free swinging movement from a position overlying the base and the user'"'"'s forearm to a position projecting forward from the base along the user'"'"'s hand. The free end of the carrier carries the bow string release. The base and the carrier have inter-engageable latches for releaseably retaining the carrier in a stowed position overlying the base, and an actuator has a portion projecting laterally for selectively releasing the latches. A load bearing strap is attached to the carrier on an outer portion thereof, which can telescope with respect to an inner portion.

13. A holster for a bow string release mechanism comprising:
-
a base adapted to be releasably mounted on the inner forearm of a user; an elongate carrier comprising an inner member having a connector end pivotally connected to the base for movement of the carrier between a stowed position overlying the base and an extended position projecting from the base for alignment with the user'"'"'s hand, and an outer member including a free end, the outer member being adapted to be connected to a bow string release mechanism and to permit swiveling movement of the free end with respect to the inner member, and the inner and outer members having rigid portions interconnected for lengthwise telescopic movement; the base and the carrier having inter-engageable latching formations for releasably retaining the carrier in its stowed position; an actuator inter-engageable between the base and the carrier for selectively releasing the latching formations and having an operator portion projecting laterally from the holster; and an interface device adapted to be connected to the bow string release mechanism and attached to the outer member of the carrier and also adapted to engage the user'"'"'s hand. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)

17. A holster for a tool comprising:
-
a base adapted to be releasably mounted on the inner forearm of a user; an elongate carrier having a connector end pivotally connected to the base for free-swinging movement of the carrier between a stowed position overlying the base and an extended position projecting from the base for alignment with the user'"'"'s hand, and a free end adapted for carrying a tool, the carrier being adapted for lengthwise extension and foreshortening; the base and the carrier having inter-engageable latching formations for releasably retaining the carrier in its stowed position, the latching formations comprising a pair of opposed, laterally spaced lugs upstanding from the base and having laterally inward projections sized to allow a portion of the carrier to snap therebetween; an actuator inter-engageable between the base and the carrier for selectively releasing the latching formations and having a laterally projecting operator portion distal the locus of the user'"'"'s hand, the actuator comprising a lever pivotally mounted on the base and having one arm underlying the carrier in its stowed position and another arm so projecting laterally from the base. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)

21. A holster comprising:
-
a plate-like base adapted to be releasably mounted on the inner forearm of a user, the base having a forward end for disposition adjacent the user'"'"'s wrist and curved to allow flexing of the wrist; an elongate carrier having a free end adapted for connection to an object and a connector end connected to the base for free-swinging movement of the carrier between a stowed position overlying the base and an extended position projecting from the base for alignment with the user'"'"'s hand; the base and the carrier having latching formations for releasably retaining the carrier in its stowed position, the latching formations comprising a pair of opposed, laterally spaced lugs upstanding from the base and having laterally inward projections sized to allow a portion of the carrier to snap therebetween; and an actuator inter-engageable between the base and the carrier for selectively releasing the engageable members, the actuator comprising a lever pivotally mounted on the base and having one arm underlying the carrier in its stowed position and another arm projecting laterally from the base. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24)
