042700070 | On trigger guard | 9 |
20100107465 | FIREARM SECURITY DEVICE - A firearm security device including a surface mountable frame to which a first plate and a second movable plate are attached. A grip pad is attached to each of the opposing inner sides of the fixed and movable plates. A trigger guard stud is attached to and projects from the inner face of the fixed plate. The movable second plate is movable with respect to the first plate from an open position wherein a firearm is positioned with the trigger guard stud projecting through the trigger guard of the firearm, to a closed position where the movable plate is positioned substantially parallel to the fixed plate and at least a portion of the receiver of the firearm is held in a compressive grip between the grip pads. A lock selectively restricts movement of the second movable plate. | 05-06-2010 |
20100154271 | SECURING SYSTEM WITH HOUSING FOR HARDWARE - A securing system that includes a first wall portion adapted to be attached to a surface; and a second wall portion separable from the first wall portion and adapted to be removable engaged with the first wall portion; the second wall portion including an opening for receiving a projecting member from a male portion of a locking mechanism, wherein the second wall portion is disposed between the male portion and the female portion of the locking mechanism. | 06-24-2010 |
20110047849 | Trigger shrouding apparatus for firearms - A trigger shrouding apparatus for a firearm comprises a firearm component and a trigger shrouding structure attached to the firearm component. The firearm component is configured for being detachably attached to one of a grip mounting portion of a receiver body of a firearm and a magazine well mounting portion of the receiver body. The trigger shrouding structure includes a trigger shrouding side wall that extends longitudinally away from the firearm component. The trigger shrouding side wall is outwardly protruding with respect to a longitudinal reference axis extending through the firearm operating structure such that a finger receiving space is defined by an inwardly facing side of the trigger shrouding side wall. | 03-03-2011 |
20130061502 | Trigger Lock - A trigger lock is provided with a shield member having a U-shaped channel forming a first plate and a second plate spaced apart from the first flange, with a web connecting the first and second plates. The shield member has a peripheral contour that is complementarily shaped to closely match the transition contour of a firearm, in the region of the firearm frame transitioning between the thick frame and the thin trigger guard. The shield member is fitted over the trigger guard, with the trigger guard situated within the U-shaped channel. A plug is inserted through an aperture in the first plate, through the trigger guard, and through a second aperture in the second plate. The plug is secured within the shield member by a lock attached to the end of the plug protruding from the second aperture, thus preventing access to the trigger and preventing removal or substantial movement. | 03-14-2013 |
20130312306 | FIREARM TRIGGER LOCK - A trigger lock for a gun having a trigger and a trigger guard. The trigger lock has a first housing part and a second housing part and at least one of the parts includes a shackle which is insertable through the trigger guard so that the housing parts are on opposite sides of the trigger guard and so that the shackle prevents actuation of the trigger. A latch is mounted to one of the housing parts and movable between a locked and an unlocked position. In its locked position, the latch engages the shackle and secures the housing parts together. Conversely, in the unlocked position, the latch releases the shackle so that the housing parts may be separated from each other. A fingerprint scanner on one of the housing parts generates an output signal when swiped by a fingerprint. That signal is received by a processor programmed to identify one or more authorized users of the gun and, when the authorized user fingerprint swipe is identified, activates a mechanism to move the latch to the unlocked position. | 11-28-2013 |
20140182180 | Electromechanical Trigger Guard Protective Enclosure - The electromechanical trigger guard protective enclosure is a safety device intended to prevent access to the trigger of any firearm with an accessory rail. The present invention has a keypad, which activates the drive mechanism. The drive mechanism either covers the trigger or slides open revealing the trigger for use. The protective enclosure is affixed to the accessory rail on a gun, ensuring that it is able to be used at all times, preventing any inability to properly enclose the trigger. This protective sheath allows for the weapon to remain loaded and ready to fire at all times, aiding greatly in times of self-defense. | 07-03-2014 |
20150033609 | DEVICE FOR MOUNTING AND SECURING A HANDGUN - A mounting and securing device for a handgun having a grip, a trigger, and a trigger guard. The device can include a mounting base including a means for affixing the base to a structure, a lock post extending from the mounting base having an annular groove proximate the distal end; and a trigger-blocking member including a trigger-blocking post attached to the mounting base and configured to extend behind the trigger of the handgun when mounted on the device, and a lock member comprising a body that includes a front face and a rear face, and having a bore through the rear face and into the body that is configured to accept the lock post for positioning the lock member onto the lock post, and including push-buttons for locking or unlocking the lock member to the lock post to secure the handgun. | 02-05-2015 |
20160025439 | COVER ASSEMBLY FOR A TRIGGER GUARD - A cover assembly for a trigger guard is described having a housing, a catch member connected to the housing, a release assembly mounted to the housing, and a biometric sensor assembly at least partially mounted to the housing. The housing has a base, a first sidewall and a second sidewall extending upwardly from the base to define a trigger guard receiving space. At least the first sidewall has an opening extending therethrough. The catch member is moveable between a locked position and an unlocked position. The release assembly is operable to cause the catch member to move from the locked position to the unlocked position. The biometric sensor assembly is configured to validate a biometric input and cause the release assembly to move the catch member from the locked position to the unlocked position based on validation of the biometric input. | 01-28-2016 |
20160109203 | TRIGGER GUARD PLUG - A trigger plug or device that will be deformable enough to be compressively interfit into or within the area of a weapon's trigger guard so as to be positioned on both sides of and enclose or encase the trigger yet be able to be pushed out of its position in a fluid manner by an index finger of a shooter pushing on a surface of a front projection thereby ejecting the device with the finger coming to rest against a now exposed trigger. | 04-21-2016 |
