Abstract
The disclosed device is a barrel and chamber blocking shaft or rod that acts as an extension of a pistol. The extension provides the additional function of forming a cane, the pistol becoming the handle of the cane, which the user can use as a walking aid. When used in accordance with design claimed herein, the cane allows for ease of use in that no hip holster is required and the rod or shaft can be removed with the use of only one hand.
Claims13
A device to render a firearm safe, while allowing the firearm to serve as a handle for a walking cane for a user, the firearm including a barrel, a muzzle, and a chamber, the firearm having a length, the device comprising:
- a slideably removeable insertion section;
- the slidably removeable insertion section adapted to slide within the barrel and the chamber of the firearm;
- the slidably removeable insertion section sized to block both the barrel and the chamber of the firearm;
- a supporting section;
- the supporting section adapted to extend beyond the firearm by a supporting length equal to or greater than the length of the firearm;
- the slidably removeable insertion section and the supporting section joined at a load-bearing face;
- the load-bearing face adapted to rest against the muzzle of the firearm;
- a holster portion, the holster portion having an opening and a tip;
- the tip connected to the load-bearing face and the opening extending toward the slidably removable insertion section;
- the holster portion adapted to partially surround the firearm, thereby stabilizing the firearm;
- a cane tip;
- the cane tip affixed to the supporting section opposite the load-bearing face;
- a groove placed along the slidably removeable insertion section;
- and
- an o-ring within the groove;
- whereby friction of the o-ring against the barrel prevents the device from sliding out of the firearm during use;
- and
- wherein the slidably removable insertion section is entirely removable through the muzzle.
A device to allow a user to use a firearm as a handle for a cane, the device comprising:
- a support body that removably affixes to the firearm by sliding through a muzzle into a firearm barrel;
- the support body extending a length of the firearm, thereby creating the cane;
- the support body including a support section and an insertion section;
- an integral holster, the integral holster extending outward from the support section, partially surrounding the insertion section;
- the insertion section of the support body blocking at least a portion of a chamber of the firearm, thereby preventing the firearm from being discharged;
- wherein the insertion section is removed only and fully through the muzzle.
A device to adapt a firearm for use as a walking cane, the device comprising:
- an elongate body, the elongate body including
- a support section,
- an insertion section,
- the support section being larger in diameter than the insertion section creating a load-bearing face on the support section adjacent to the insertion section, and
- whereby the insertion section is slidably removably inserted into a barrel of the firearm;
- and
- an integral holster, the integral holster affixed to the load-bearing face and encompassing the insertion section so that when the elongate body is joined to the firearm, the barrel of the firearm rests within the integral holster.
