Description

Firearm safety locking device

The present invention relates to firearm safety locking device, more specifically say to relate to a kind of small arms locking system, leave unused or stored position in order to safely small arms are fixed on, and guarantee that small arms can not prized when not using.

Along with the surge of the miniweapon that carries for the personal security, the importance of small arms safety device is increasingly significant, and some governments have made laws to require all small arms are pulled and hit locking.This class or that class safe locking device have been designed to guarantee to use weapon without approval.Some design is guaranteed and can not be taken weapon away from safe storage without approval.Final goal is to reduce because of using the contingent or the weapon that are caused to cock off accidentally without approval.

The small arms safety device comprises pulling and hits padlock, as is presented to the United States Patent (USP) 4,198 of Capolupo, and 0256 is disclosed.Being presented in the United States Patent (USP) 4,509,281 of Dreiling etc., disclose a gunwale and hit locking device, comprise cooperating and around pulling the element that hits, so that when locking, make it inactive.The United States Patent (USP) 4,328,687 that is presented to Ritchie discloses a kind of pulling and has hit locking device, comprises that one is passed and pulls the axle that hits retaining ring, to be fixed in a stationary state.The United States Patent (USP) 4,084,341 that is presented to Cervantes discloses a kind of separable rifle lock, has the plate of supporting one pillar, and this pillar passes plate and hits retaining ring and be engaged with, and make pull hit inactive.The United States Patent (USP) 3,711,979 of awarding to Small discloses a kind of plate that is installed on and has hit anchor clamps on the retaining ring and locking and pull the plate that hits and fix it and hit engaged element.

Other small arms locking device is designed to fixedly firing device.Such example comprises that one has and pulls the kinds of weapon locks locking assembly that hits latch member and cable safety lock, with fixing breech bolt, for example awards to the United States Patent (USP) 5,048 of Mossberg, and 212 is disclosed.The United States Patent (USP) 4,654,992 of awarding to Lavergne discloses a kind of lock with a block piece, and this block piece is interfered and shot the cabin and shoot with prevention and stop bullet by arriving breech.The United States Patent (USP) 3,634,936 of awarding to Hermann discloses a kind of locking device that places in the ejection mouth.The United States Patent (USP) 3,120,713 of awarding to Lizza etc. discloses a kind of gun barrel locking safety device, to guarantee that firing device can misoperation.

Also have another kind of small arms safety device to be designed to fix small arms, in case without approval it is taken away, children for example, thereby the accident of preventing and anti-theft.The United States Patent (USP) 5,022,536 of awarding to Pierson discloses a routine this design, and wherein a solid figure grappling case is fixed on the wall that forms the corner.One gun stock pad be installed on the corner with a rifle by thereon, and a cable assembly passes to pull and hits retaining ring so that weapon is fixed in the grappling case.Award to the simpler remodeling that has provided this class design in the United States Patent (USP) 4,813,252 of Ray, have a padlock on the cable assembly.The United States Patent (USP) 4,5809,483 of awarding to Garbini discloses one and has been used for the armrack of rifle, does not prevent the release mechanism that cocks off but provide.

Whenever the weapon that security personnel and military regulations require to issue the individual all will be in its stored position.The problem that security personnel and army personnel often face is to store weapon safely, and it is approaching to limit my ability of only issuing weapon simultaneously.From fixing weapon and prevent the needs that it cocks off physically, allow simultaneously to mean maintenance safe and the double requirements of " tagging " for a weapon through the people of permission rapidly and easily approaching.Although prior art provides locking device with the protection weapon, the double requirements of safety and " tagging " can not be met.

So, be desirable to provide a kind of firearm safety locking device, it can not fix small arms the time spent, allows simultaneously through the people of permission fast and easily near it.

Main purpose of the present invention is the unappeasable requirement of prior art, and provide a kind of firearm safety locking device, use it in order to store a weapon of identifying safely, to stop simultaneously, until it being opened and use this weapon by the people that respective identity is arranged through permission.

According to a most preferred embodiment of the present invention, a firearm safety locking device is provided, comprising:

In order to support small arms and to cover its at least a portion to prevent pulling the device that hits at least near it; With

In order to releasedly described small arms are locked on the described supporting arrangement and it are fixed in wherein device.

In most preferred embodiment, firearm safety locking device is a housing box that has, can store small arms in it.Door is hinged on the housing box and lockable, has stoped to pull near weapon to hit.Locking device is a dismountable lock that is positioned on the door, so that can be fast and easily change another lock.Like this, issue a people weapon can with specific phase-locked joining, and when taking this weapon away, can insert a different lock so that fixedly issue another weapon of another person.

Select as another kind, also can replace this lock with the irrelevant lock of another and the weapon of waiting to fix.

When being used to store an automatic rifle, housing box can be hidden cartridge clip, pulls and hits, and emergency stop and bolt action so just can be stored rifle with the form of bullet, in order to using immediately.

Housing box can be installed on the wall by hidden installation hardware in case.The belfry of housing box is become to have removable side, respectively be formed with the opening that matches with the weapon shape on it, so that be applicable to polytype weapon.The structure of this novelty guarantees: although the part of weapon is exposed housing box, can firmly fix it, guarantee overall security performance.

In another embodiment, housing box is a hinged basket, has the fender rod that extends from its side, and its shape makes it to surround and fixing weapon.

Safety of weapons locking device of the present invention has many application, at temporary facility, safe sentry post, the military base, and as go up and aircraft first-class.
