Abstract

This invention relates to an adjustable gun lock wherein a fan-like mechanism blocks the trigger of the gun and is adjustable to fit a wide variety of firearms.

Claims (57)

1. An adjustable gun lock for a gun with a trigger, wherein the trigger comprises a first side and a second side, comprising:

a mounting device, comprising;

a rail adaptor,

a first side and a second side,

a first trigger guard, engaged with the first side of the rail adaptor, comprised of an extendable fan linkage, wherein the extendable fan linkage is comprised of a plurality of interconnected links that block the first side of the trigger in a fan-like manner when extended,

a second trigger guard, engaged with the second side of the rail adaptor, comprised of an extendable fan linkage, wherein the extendable fan linkage is comprised of a plurality of interconnected links that block the second side of the trigger in a fan-like manner when extended,

a first locking mechanism, further comprising;

at least one locking pin, wherein the locking pin, when in a locked position, engages the fan linkage of the first trigger guard and prevents the extendable fan linkage of the first trigger guard from extending,

an actuator, wherein the actuator moves the at least one locking pin into an unlocked position,

a second locking mechanism, further comprising;

at least one locking pin, wherein the locking pin, when in a locked position, engages the fan linkage of the second trigger guard and prevents the extendable fan linkage of the second trigger guard from extending,

an actuator, wherein the actuator moves the at least one locking pin into an unlocked position,

at least one locking electronic device, wherein the locking electronic device is engaged with the actuator of the first locking mechanism and the actuator of the second locking mechanism.

2. The adjustable gun lock of claim 1 wherein the actuator of the first locking mechanism comprises a gear, the actuator of the second locking mechanism comprises a gear, and the adjustable gun lock further comprises;

a motor, wherein the motor is engaged the first locking mechanism gear and the second locking mechanism gear, and

the locking electronic device is further engaged with the motor.

3. The adjustable gun lock of claim 1 wherein the first and second locking mechanism each further comprise a torsion spring biased to retract the fan linkage.

4. The adjustable gun lock of claim 1 , wherein the at least one locking electronic device further comprises a finger print reader.

5. The adjustable gun lock of claim 1 , wherein the locking electronic device further comprises a key pad.

6. The adjustable gun lock of claim 1 further comprising a slide extension.

7. The adjustable gun lock of claim 1 , wherein the at least one locking electronic device is powered by a battery.

8. The adjustable gun lock of claim 7 wherein the at least one locking electronic device is a rechargeable battery.

9. The adjustable gun lock of claim 1 wherein the at least one locking electronic device further comprises at least one printed circuit board.

10. An adjustable gun lock for a gun with a trigger, wherein the trigger comprises a first side and a second side, comprising:

a mounting device, comprising;

a rail adaptor,

a first side and a second side,

a first trigger guard, engaged with the first side of the rail adaptor, comprised of an extendable fan linkage, wherein the extendable fan linkage is comprised of a plurality of interconnected links that block the first side of the trigger in a fan-like manner when extended,

a second trigger guard, engaged with the second side of the rail adaptor, comprised of an extendable fan linkage, wherein the extendable fan linkage is comprised of a plurality of interconnected links that block the second side of the trigger in a fan-like manner when extended,

a first locking mechanism, further comprising;

at least one locking pin, wherein the locking pin, when in a locked position, engages the fan linkage of the first trigger guard and prevents the extendable fan linkage of the first trigger guard from extending,

a gear, wherein the gear moves the at least one locking pin into an unlocked position,

a second locking mechanism, further comprising;

at least one locking pin, wherein the locking pin, when in a locked position, engages the fan linkage of the second trigger guard and prevents the extendable fan linkage of the second trigger guard from extending,

a gear, wherein the gear moves the at least one locking pin into an unlocked position,

a first and second motor, wherein the first motor is engaged with the gear of the first locking mechanism and activates the gear of the first locking mechanism, and the second motor is engaged with the gear of the second locking mechanism and activates the gear of the second locking mechanism, and

at least one locking electronic device, wherein the locking electronic device is engaged with and activates the first and second motor.

11. The adjustable gun lock of claim 10 wherein the first and second locking mechanism each further comprise a torsion spring biased to retract the fan linkage.

12. The adjustable gun lock of claim 10 , wherein the at least one locking electronic device further comprises a finger print reader.

13. The adjustable gun lock of claim 10 , wherein the at least one locking electronic device further comprises a key pad.

14. The adjustable gun lock of claim 10 further comprising a slide extension.

15. The adjustable gun lock of claim 10 , wherein the at least one locking electronic device is powered by a battery.

16. The adjustable gun lock of claim 15 wherein the at least one locking electronic device is a rechargeable battery.

17. The adjustable gun lock of claim 10 wherein the at least one locking electronic device further comprises at least one printed circuit board.

18. An adjustable gun lock for a gun with a trigger, wherein the trigger comprises a first side and a second side, comprising:

a mounting device, comprising;

a rail adaptor,

a first side and a second side,

a first trigger guard, engaged with the first side of the rail adaptor, comprised of an extendable fan linkage, wherein the extendable fan linkage is comprised of a plurality of interconnected links that block the first side of the trigger in a fan-like manner when extended,

a second trigger guard, engaged with the second side of the rail adaptor, comprised of an extendable fan linkage, wherein the extendable fan linkage is comprised of a plurality of interconnected links that block the second side of the trigger in a fan-like manner when extended,

a first locking mechanism, further comprising;

at least one locking pin, wherein the locking pin, when in a locked position, engages the fan linkage of the first trigger guard and prevents the extendable fan linkage of the first trigger guard from extending,

a second locking mechanism, further comprising;

at least one locking pin, wherein the locking pin, when in a locked position, engages the fan linkage of the second trigger guard and prevents the extendable fan linkage of the second trigger guard from extending,

an actuator, wherein the actuator moves the at least one locking pin of the first locking mechanism and the at least one locking pin of the second locking mechanism into unlocked positions,

at least one locking electronic device, wherein the locking electronic device is engaged with and activates the actuator.

19. The device of claim 18 wherein the actuator is comprised of at least one gear and at least one motor.
