ABSTRACT:
A scabbard for carrying a baton on the torso of a user in a manner such that the baton may be quickly released from the scabbard and placed into use. The baton includes a handle to be grasped by the user having a first end portion which is releasably secured to the scabbard. The scabbard includes an elongated strap adapted to be worn about the torso of the user having a first end and a second end. The first end includes a means for fasting the strap to an article of clothing or equipment worn by the user. The second end is likewise adapted to be retained by a belt or other clothing or equipment worn by the user, preferably proximate to the waist of the user. A retaining means such as a snap is affixed to the second end of the strap, which releasably attaches to a complementary structure in the end portion of the baton. A loop is also provided which is attached to the strap between the first and second ends. The loop is positioned relative to the second end of the strap such that the baton is received within the loop when the first end portion of the baton is releasably secured to the retaining means. The baton is released from the scabbard by a quick upward motion to release the end of the baton from the retaining means, followed by a swift downward stroke. The downward stroke whips the baton out to an extended, operational condition at the same time as the baton is released from the retaining loop.
