Application September 26, 1955, Serial No. 536,654
2 Claims. (Cl. 211-64) The present invention relates to new and useful improvements in gun racks and more particularly to means for locking the guns in the rack.
An important object of the invention is to provide a gun rack for use either with or without a cabinet and having a locking bar securing a number of guns in the rack and preventing unauthorized removal.
Another object is to provide a locking bar composed of a plurality of end to end abutting sections slidably mounted at the front of the rack in bridgin relation with the notches thereof in which the guns are placed and with the sections of the bar movable into and out of locking position with a selected gun.
A further object is to construct the locking bar of a plurality of non-removable slidable sections and a re movable locking section to lock the former in non-slidable position.
A still further object is to provide a device of this character of simple and practical construction, which is eflicient and reliable in operation, relatively inexpensive to manufacture and otherwise well adapted for the purpose for which the same is intended.
These together with other objects and advantages which will become subsequently apparent reside in the details of construction and operation as more fully hereinafter described and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming a part hereof, wherein like numerals refer to like parts throughout, and in which:
Figure 1 is a front elevational view;
Figure 2 is an enlarged fragmentary vertical sectional view taken on a line 22 of Figure 1;
Figure 3 is an enlarged top plan view;
Figure 4 is an enlarged fragmentary group perspective view;
Figure 5 is an enlarged fragmentary longitudinal sectional view; and
Figures 6 and 7 are transverse sectional views taken respectively on the lines 6-6 and 7-7 of Figure 5.
Referring now to the drawings in detail, wherein for the purpose of illustration I have disclosed a preferred embodiment of my invention, the numeral 5 designates a gun rack generally and which is constructed of a T-shaped bar 6 having attaching flanges 7 at its rear edge for securing the bar in a horizontal position either in a cabinet 8 or to a wall or other suitable supporting structure. The front edge of the bar is formed with a plurality of notches 9 adapted to receive the barrels of pm 19 placed in an upright position in the rack.
2,855,108 Patented Oct. 7, 1958 The front edge of bar 6 is formed with a longitudinal T-shaped groove 11 in which T-shaped ribs 12 at the rear edges of a plurality of non-removable sections 13 of a locking bar 14 are slidable into and out of bridging relation with the respective notches to lock and unlock the guns. Stops 15 and 16 are secured in each end of the groove 11 to prevent removal of the locking bar sections.
The sections 13 are arranged in end to end relation in groove 11 and a removable section 17 is positioned at one end of the group of non-removable sections 13 inwardly of an adjacent stop 15. Section 17 is also formed with a longitudinal rib 18 at its rear edge removably engaged in groove 11 and is formed at its front edge with a longitudinal groove 19 for receiving a hasp or latch bar 20 which is pivoted at one end on a pin 21 carried by the adjacent non-removable sliding section 22. The free end of the latch bar 20 is formed with an opening 23 adapted for aligning with openings 24 in a U-shaped keeper 25 carried by stop 15 to receive a padlock 26 or other suitable locking device to lock the removable and non-removable sections of the locking bar 14 and with the sections 13 thereof closing the respective notches to lock the guns therein.
Upon releasing latch bar 20 the section 17 of the locking bar may be removed and any of the non-removable sections 13 will then be free to slide out of bridgnig position with their related notches 9 to permit removal of a selected gun from the rack. When the section 17 is in place and locked by the latch bar the sections 13 are locked in a non-slidable position to prevent removal of the guns.
From the foregoing, the construction and operation of the device will be readily understood, and further explanation is believed to be unnecessary. However, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the appended claims.
What is claimed as new is as follows:
1. A gun rack comprising a stationary notched bar adapted for receiving a plurality of gun barrels in the notches, a locking bar on the stationary bar comprising end to end engaging non-removable bar sections each bridging a respective notch and slidably mounted on said stationary bar for separation of any two of the non-removable sections to move a selected non-removable section out of bridging relation to its respective notch, and stops on said stationary bar preventing sliding of said non-removable sections including a removable bar section on the stationary bar at one end of the locking bar.
2. A gun rack as in claim 1, and lock means for preventing removal of the removable section comprising a member on one non-removable section lockably connected to the stationary bar and bridging the removable section.
