More from thegayhare
I was reading a book and the man char had something called an Articulated Sheath.
She was a paladin of a war god in holy armor with a revolver and bastard sword.
The sheath had arms that would extend the hilt to the user when needed, and would grab the sword and sheath it.
now the one the book was described more as a mechanical spider that hunched on her spine since it could grab the sword if it had been dropped, and switch to extending it over the shoulder or under the arm.
It got me thinking about how I would make a mechanical sheath. this is my design its a hard wooden or mettle slot with an open top. the top is fitted with triangular teeth with long pistons at the head fitted with spring triggered clamps. when triggers the teeth would open releasing the sword, and the pistons would push the hilt forward. you could them grab the hilt and lift the blade straight off your back easier then drawing it out. when done you put the cross bar to the spring clamps. this would grip the bar and allow you to simply lower the blade into the sheath, the piston retracts and the teeth swing shut keeping the blade in place
I'm not sure if I can build it but I'm tempted too

It's an interesting idea, but I don't see much practical use for it. The first time you fumble it and it either 1) causes your sword hilt to be caught on your other equipment, or 2) knocks your drink out of your hand or 3) propels your sword across the room may be the last time.
True
And truthfully I think the pistons connected to the cross bar are un nessisary. The idea is to make it easier to draw the long hand and a half blade off your back. This way instead of pulling the length of the blade out you would just have to lift the blade from your back. And the spring clamps would act as a guide once the cross bar is in place those clamps would act as a pivot guiding the blade into the locking teeth. The pistons arnt needed thatbwould just be showy... Darn now I have to make one... But that means I have to make a sword that fits too
