Concealed firearm storage system
View Patent ↗This present invention relates to a firearm storage system comprised of a headboard cabinet for concealing firearms, ammunition and other items of value. Portions of the firearm storage system are quickly and securely repositionable between a concealed position and an open position, thereby giving the user quick access to his or her firearms in a time of need. More specifically, the secure headboard or cabinet includes an electronic lift that may be controlled by a wireless activator that raises a concealed portion of the cabinet upwards, thereby revealing the drawers or cabinets containing the firearms.
1. A gun safety headboard comprising:
a frame for housing an internal cabinet, the internal cabinet having a first set of drawers that extend parallel to a transverse direction of the frame, a second set of drawers that extend perpendicular to the transverse direction of the frame, and a movable façade;
an illumination system positioned within each of the first and second set of drawers; and
a pressure control switch in electrical communication with an actuator and a control system in wireless communication with the actuator within the frame for moving the internal cabinet between a first position and a second position; and
wherein the movable façade conceals the first and second sets of drawers when in the second position until moved.
2. The gun safety headboard as recited in claim 1 , wherein the first position is a closed and concealed position and the second position is an open and elevated position.
3. A gun safety headboard as recited in claim 1 further comprising an authentication system.
4. A gun safety headboard as recited in claim 3 , wherein the authentication system is selected from one of a voice recognition software, a biometric reader or a key pad.
5. A gun safety headboard as recited in claim 1 , wherein the internal cabinet can be raised in an incremental fashion from the first position to the second position.
6. A gun safety headboard as recited in claim 1 further comprising a sub-compartment having a length that is substantially equal to the length of the internal cabinet for holding a rifle or a shotgun.
7. A cabinet for securing a firearm comprising:
a frame for housing a movable cabinet, wherein the moveable cabinet is repositionable between a closed position and an open position, and further wherein the frame comprises a length in the transverse direction and a height in the longitudinal direction;
a first set of drawers that are parallel to the transverse direction;
a second set of drawers that are perpendicular to the transverse direction;
a plurality of light emitting diode (LED) lights for providing illumination to each of the first and second set of drawers;
at least one Universal Serial BUS (USB) port;
a wireless key fob control comprising a voice recognition authentication component for repositioning the moveable cabinet between the closed position and the opened position; and
a biometric authentication component configured to access the first and second sets of drawers once the movable cabinet is in the open position.
8. The cabinet for securing a firearm as recited in claim 7 , wherein the moveable cabinet comprises a surface panel that is repositionable to reveal the first and second set of drawers.
