Abstract
A device includes a locking mechanism that transitions between a locked state and an unlocked state. The locking mechanism has a first depressible member that actuates in a first direction and second depressible members that actuate in a second direction different than the first direction. Fastening mechanisms that secure the second depressible members to the device. A cover transitions between a first position in which the fastening mechanisms are obstructed and a second position in which the fastening mechanisms are unobstructed. The cover transitions from the first position to the second position in the unlocked state of the locking mechanism. A slide engages with the cover and permits transitioning of the cover from the first position to the second position.
Claims14
A chamber obstruction device comprising:
- a housing;
- a lid coupled to the housing;
- a latching mechanism that transitions between a locked state in which the chamber obstruction device is secured to a firearm and an unlocked state in which the chamber obstruction device is removable from the firearm;
- a locking mechanism that transitions the latching mechanism between the locked state and the unlocked state, the locking mechanism including:
- a first key that is actuatable in a first direction, the first key including one or more knobs, and
- second keys that are actuatable in a second direction that is transverse to the first direction, wherein individual keys of the second keys include a receptacle, wherein at least one of the second keys is actuatable in the second direction to align the receptacle of the at least one of the second keys with a knob of the one or more knobs such that the first key is actuatable in the first direction;
- fasteners, wherein individual fasteners of the fasteners secure the individual keys of the second keys to the chamber obstruction device;
- a cover that transitions between a first position in which the fasteners are obstructed and a second position in which the fasteners are unobstructed;
- and
- a slide engaged with the cover, the slide being moveable to permit the cover to transition between the first position and the second position.
A device configured to be at least partially disposed in a chamber of a firearm, the device comprising:
- a housing;
- a lid coupled to the housing;
- a latch configured to engage with a portion of the chamber;
- a locking mechanism that transitions between a locked state in which the latch is disposed external to the lid to engage with the portion of the chamber, and an unlocked state is which the latch is disposed internal to the lid to disengage with the portion of the chamber, the locking mechanism including:
- a first key configured to actuate in a first direction, the first key including knobs, and
- second keys configured to actuate in a second direction that is different than the first direction, individual keys of the second keys including a receptacle, wherein at least one of the second keys is configured to actuate in the second direction to align the receptacle of the at least one of the second keys with a knob of the knobs such that the first key is actuatable in the first direction to transition the locking mechanism from the locked state to the unlocked state;
- and
- a cover configured to transition between a first position and a second position, wherein in the second position, a fastener that secures the individual keys of the second keys within the housing are unobstructed to permit the second keys to be interchangeable.
