Abstract

A floorplate for a handgun magazine is used for the breakage of glass panes and is manufactured so that it fits all types of handgun magazines without disrupting the overall function of either the magazine or the handgun. The floorplate has a hole in which a pin is incorporated. The floorplate, when placed on the magazine of the handgun, allows the magazine to be also used as a hand tool for the breakage of glass panes. Additionally, when the magazine with the floorplate and incorporated pin is placed inside the handgun, it allows the handgun to be also used as a hammer-like tool for the breakage of glass panes.

1. A floorplate arrangement for a handgun magazine for fitting a selected handgun and for breakage of glass panes, the floorplate arrangement comprising:

a floorplate (F) having an inner surface, an opposite outer surface, and a hole (H); a pin (P) fixed to the floorplate (F), said floorplate (F) being adapted to function with the handgun magazine of the selected handgun; said pin (P) having an inner end (A) and an outer end (B), said inner end (A) having a smaller diameter than a larger diameter portion of said outer end (B), said inner end (A) being fixed in said hole (H) of said floorplate (F); said outer end (B) of said pin (P) extending from the outer surface of said floor plate with the larger diameter portion of the outer end (B) engaging the outer surface of the floor plate so that said pin (P) cannot enter further into said hole (H) of said floorplate (F); and said outer end (B) of said pin (P) further comprising a cone (C) tapering in a direction away from the outer surface of the floorplate (F).

2. In a handgun having a magazine with a floorplate, the improvement comprising: the floorplate (F) having an inner surface, an opposite outer surface, and a hole (H); a pin (P) fixed to the floorplate (F), said pin (P) having an inner end (A) and an outer end (B), said inner end (A) having a smaller diameter than a larger diameter portion of said outer end (B), said inner end (A) being fixed in said hole (H) of said floorplate (F); said outer end (B) of said pin (P) extending from the outer surface of said floor plate with the larger diameter portion of the outer end (B) engaging the outer surface of the floor plate so that said pin (P) cannot enter further into said hole (H) of said floorplate (F); and said outer end (B) of said pin (P) further comprising a pointed cone (C) tapering in a direction away from the outer surface of the floorplate (F) so that when the magazine with said floorplate in engaged in the handgun, the handgun is used like a hammer to strike a glass pane with the pointed cone (C) to break the glass pane.
