Abstract
This invention is directed to a firearm safety device that has a chamber block for being received in a chamber of a firearm. An internal area is defined in the chamber block and can receive a bullet so that the bullet biases the outer walls outward. A visual indicator is attached to a distal end of the chamber block and is received in the bore of the barrel and extending outward past the muzzle providing a visual indication that the firearm is in a safe condition. In one embodiment, the chamber block can be inserted into the muzzle and the visual indicator extends through the barrel and chamber and out of the ejection port of magazine well. The visual indicator can be modifiable in length to accommodate various lengths of barrels and can be flexible.
Claims18
A firearm safety device comprising:
- a resilient chamber block for being received in a chamber of a firearm
- an internal area defined by inner walls of the chamber block for receiving a bullet of a cartridge so that when a bullet is received into the internal area, outer walls are biased outward,
- an outer wall included in the chamber block for engaging a case stop of the chamber of the firearm preventing the chamber block from being fully received into a barrel of the firearm;
- and,
- a visual indicator attached to a distal end of the chamber block for being received in the bore of the barrel and extending outward past the muzzle providing a visual indication that the firearm is in a safe condition.
A firearm safety device comprising:
- a chamber block for being received in a chamber of a firearm;
- an internal area defined in the chamber block for receiving a bullet of a cartridge and preventing the cartridge from fully entering the chamber wherein the inter diameter of the internal area diminishes from the proximal end to the distal end of the chamber block;
- a convex wall included in the internal area of the chamber block that when engaged by a bullet biases the walls of the chamber block outward pressing an outer wall of the chamber block against the chamber;
- a ridge defined in the outer wall of the chamber block that engages a case stop of the chamber when the chamber block is received into the chamber preventing the chamber block from fully entering a barrel of the firearm;
- flutes defined in the outer wall of the chamber block;
- and,
- a visual indicator attached to the chamber block extending through the barrel and out a muzzle of the barrel indicating that the firearm is in a safe condition.
