Abstract
A firearm locking mechanism for handguns primarily comprising a locking assembly with first and second ends, said first end having first and second arms bifurcated parallel and spaced apart to receive a handgun. The locking assembly further has an elongated member, which serves as latching means to remove the firearm from the locking assembly. Interacting with the elongated member is a locking system controlled by a key, giving the authorized user the ability to set the firearm locking assembly in a “locked” or “unlocked” mode. The firearm locking assembly prevents the removal of the handgun when the trigger guard is obstructed within the first and second arms. The present invention is primarily utilized with firearms such as pistols and revolvers.
Claims15
A firearm locking mechanism, comprising:
- A) a locking assembly with first and second ends, said first end having first and second arms bifurcated parallel and spaced apart a first predetermined distance from each other, each with interior and exterior walls, said exterior wall of said first arm having a locking-pin spring receiving a locking-pin therethrough, said locking assembly further having latching means to secure a firearm including a trigger guard within said arms, said latching means includes a ball protruding from said interior wall of said second arm;
- and
- B) an elongated lever with third and fourth ends axially slidable along said exterior wall of said second arm, said elongated lever cammingly forcing said ball to protrude from said interior wall of said second arm a second predetermined distance to block the trigger guard of said firearm.
