Tactical Magnetic Keeper

Abstract

This invention provides faster responds times to immediate actions that need to be performed when in a gun fight. Traditional methods in the Law Enforcement community teach to either discard a weapon in case an assailant attacks or deal with a weapons malfunction in some sort of awkward method. The Tactical Magnetic Keeper allows the weapons operator to more efficiently maneuver through hostile situations than traditional methods. A weapons operator can magnetize his or her weapon, magazine, baton, flashlight, hand cuffs, hand cuff key and knife in the event of a violent encounter. The Tactical Magnetic Keeper is a belt clip which holds three Neodymium (NdFeb) Grade magnets in the front of the clip and one on the bottom half of the back side of the clip. The weapons operator can utilize a Tactical Magnetic Keeper on the front of their gun belt and one on the back side.

1 . The Tactical Magnetic Keeper is a tactical belt keeper or duty belt apparatus for the Law Enforcement Officer or any person utilizing a duty belt. Its capabilities and/or uses are as follows:
 One version has a U shape cut out on top of the TM Keeper which is utilized for the stripping or ripping out of a firearms magazine or ammunition clip when a malfunction in the weapon is apparent. The operator of the weapon slides the stalk of the clip onto the U shape structure and rips away, therefore, releasing the jammed ammunition clip or magazine.   Inside the TM Keeper, lye strong magnetic cubes (Neodymium (NdFeb) Grade) which are utilized for numerous occasions while the weapons operator is engaged in a firelight, which include:   When performing a tactical reload, instead of placing the semi-spent ammunition clip in a pant pocket or behind the duty belt, the weapons operator simply places the clip on the TM Keeper.   In an instance where the weapons operator has the capability of only one arm and hand, he or she can place their handgun on the TM Keeper and perform a magazine and/or ammunition clip exchange. (magazine is another term used for ammunition clip)   When a weapon operator is moving through a low light area with his or her weapon and flashlight, he or she can place their flashlight on the TM Keeper before entering a lit area and then come back to the flashlight quickly if needed.   When a weapon operator is retaining an assailant's weapon in a hostile situation, the operator can place the assailant's weapon on the TM Keeper.   If for some reason an operator can, not handcuff an assailant, he can place the cuffs on the TM Keeper and later come back to them.   The TM Keeper can also be clipped onto an SRT or SWAT (tactical) vest.   The TM Keeper can also be utilized as a handcuff carrier. Each cuff is placed on each side of the keeper where there is a magnet in place.   The TM Keeper can also hold a gun which is placed inside the pants without a holster.   The TM Keeper can also hold a cuff key/baton/knife or any metal or steel object.
