Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to gun mounts and safes. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a lockable gun mount securable to a wall or other surface.

BACKGROUND

Gun owners have an unfulfilled need to access their gun quickly, yet still have the gun in a secure and safe location when not in use. With the increase in gun related incidents each year, this dichotomy between accessibility and safety has become a fundamental concern. Although there are several common methods for securing guns when not in use, each of these methods render the gun inaccessible for self-defense and quick general-purpose access. For example, gun safes, trigger locks, and bolt locks each require time to locate the gun and remove safety devices. Alternative methods, such as disassembly of the gun or separation of the ammunition from the gun, are similarly impractical in time-sensitive situations such as a home invasion.

In contrast, a user who desires to keep a weapon loaded and accessible without security precautions assumes several risks, including theft, accidental discharge, or use by an unwanted individual such as a trespasser or a family member.

Accordingly, there is a need for a lockable gun mount that allows the gun to be kept loaded and accessible, yet safely secured to prevent unwanted use or theft. The lockable gun mount disclosed herein solves these needs and others.

As previously discussed, there is a need for a lockable gun mount that allows the gun to be loaded and accessible, yet safely secured to prevent unwanted use or theft. The lockable gun mount disclosed herein solves these needs and others.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 1A-1B, a lockable gun mount 100 comprises a stock receiver 102, a trigger block 104, and a barrel lock 106. The lockable gun mount 100 enables the mounting of a gun to a stud within a wall or along any flat surface. While shown in a vertical orientation, the lockable gun mount 100 may be positioned horizontally or at any angle and still be securely mounted to the wall or flat surface. The lockable gun mount 100 may comprise a form factor having an appropriate spatial arrangement and sizing to accommodate a rifle, shotgun, handgun, or any type of firearm. A cumulative force between the stock receiver 102, the trigger block 104, and the barrel lock 106 prevents the lockable gun mount from being removed from the wall or flat surface without the barrel lock 106 first being unlocked.

As shown in FIGS. 2A-2E, the stock receiver 102 is configured to receive a stock 108 of the gun, and comprises a base 109, one or more sidewalls 110, a receiving aperture 111, a slot 112, and one or more fasteners 114A-B. The base 109 provides a backstop to support a weight of the gun when the lockable gun mount 100 is positioned in a vertical orientation and likewise prevents movement of the gun beyond the base 109 in any position. The sidewalls 110 extend vertically from the base 109 in a substantially rectangular shape, though any shape may be used that is configured to secure the gun to the wall and prevent the stock 108 from moving horizontally or vertically while held in the stock receiver 102. A front sidewall 110A comprises the slot 112 configured to permit access to a user to insert or remove the fasteners 114A-B (e.g., screws) through a second wall 110B and into the wall or flat surface behind the stock receiver 102 to which the lockable gun mount 100 is secured.

For example, the fasteners 114A-B may first be inserted through the slot 112 and into the second wall 110B using a screwdriver or other tool, where they may be inserted into a stud of a wall or other surface. Then, as shown in FIG. 2E, after the stock 108 of the gun is inserted into the stock receiver 102, the fasteners 114A-B are concealed (the stock 108 interposed between the second wall 110B and the slot 112), preventing others from tampering with or otherwise loosening them. The fasteners 114A-B may comprise screws, nails, bolts, rivets, magnets, or other fastening mechanisms of sufficient strength to secure the stock receiver 102 to the wall while resisting any attempts at removal.

Referring to FIGS. 3A-3D, the trigger block 104 comprises a wall member 116 having a receiving aperture 117 and a cap 118. The wall member 116 further comprises a trigger rod 120 configured in size, orientation, and rigidity to prevent a trigger 122 (FIG. 3D) of the gun from being pulled while secured within the trigger block 104. In some embodiments, the wall member 116 may comprise a cylindrical shape to both accommodate the insertion of a fastener 114C, shown as a screw having a circular head, as well as fit within a trigger guard of the gun as shown in FIG. 3D.

The wall member 116 may be securely fastened to a wall by inserting a fastener 114C into the receiving aperture 117 of the wall member 116 and into a wall. The cap 118 is then securable around at least a portion of the wall member 116 to prevent the fastener 114C from being exposed. The cap 118 is configured in size and shape so as to further occupy finger space within the trigger guard around the trigger 122 and create a secure fit. The cap 118 may be secured to the wall member 116 via a set screw 119 or other locking mechanism. During use, as best seen in FIG. 3D, the trigger 122 of the gun is interposed between the trigger rod 120 and the cap 118. As a result, the gun is both 1) prohibited from vertical movement, and 2) prohibited from firing. It will be appreciated, however, that when the barrel lock 106 is unlocked (as will be discussed next), the trigger 122 of the gun is readily inserted into the trigger block 104 for storage or removed from the trigger block 104 for use through movement along a generally perpendicular axis relative to the wall.

Referring to FIGS. 4A-4E, in some embodiments, the barrel lock 106 comprises a wall member 124, a hinged door 126 coupled to the wall member 124, and a locking mechanism 128 configured to secure the hinged door 126 to the wall member 124. The wall member 124 may be secured to the wall using one or more fasteners 114D-114E that are exposed when the hinged door 126 is open and concealed when the hinged door 126 is closed. The wall member 124 comprises a barrel aperture 130, spanning a length of the wall member 124, configured to receive a barrel 132 of the gun. As previously discussed, the size of the barrel aperture 130 may vary to accommodate the barrel 132 of a rifle, shotgun, handgun, or any type of firearm. The locking mechanism 128 may comprise deadbolts 129, magnets, key locks, and may be actuatable using keys, pin codes, combinations, or any other mechanism for actuating the locking mechanism 128.

In some embodiments, the locking mechanism 128 may be actuated via a biometric apparatus 134 (e.g., fingerprint sensor 135, microcontroller, and motor/solenoid for actuating the locking mechanism (e.g., bolt) 128) configured to identify biometric data such as fingerprints, retinas, or facial features. In some embodiments, the locking mechanism 128 may be actuated between a locked and an unlocked state using a keycard or via a software application on the user's personal electronic device (e.g., smartphone). In other words, the locking mechanism 128 may comprise a wireless transceiver capable of communicating wirelessly with a user's personal electronic device. Any known wireless protocols may be used, such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, etc. As such, a user may wirelessly connect to the locking mechanism 128 and configure it using a smartphone or other electronic device. It will be appreciated that the locking mechanism may comprise components, such as a microcontroller, to facilitate the storing of data and execution of commands received from a user's electronic device.

It will be appreciated that when the hinged door 126 is secured to the wall member 124 via the locking mechanism 128, the barrel 132 is precluded from horizontal movement. Together with the trigger block 104, the gun is also precluded from vertical movement. Accordingly, the stock receiver 102, the trigger block 104, and the barrel lock 106 ensure that the gun cannot be moved or fired while secured within the lockable gun mount 100. This allows a user to store a loaded firearm in a readily accessible location without fear of unintended use. It will be appreciated that the lockable gun mount 100 while secure, also allows the user a means for quickly unlocking the barrel lock 106 and accessing the gun.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 5, a stock receiver 202 comprises a backing 209, a rim 210, and a receiving aperture 211. The rim 210 extends outwards from the backing 209 and around at least a portion of a circumference of the receiving aperture 211. A height of the rim 210 is shorter than a height of the backing 209, permitting access to the backing 209 to install fasteners therethrough to a wall. Upon insertion of a stock 208 of a gun, the fasteners are concealed and protected by the stock 208 from removal and tampering in an attempt to free the gun. It will be appreciated that these embodiments do not require a slot in the stock receiver 202 in order to mount the stock receiver 202 to the wall.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 6-7B, a lockable gun mount 200 comprises a trigger block 204 that comprises a base plate 216, a fixed trigger protrusion 218, a sliding channel 219, and an adjustable trigger rod 220. The larger the surface area of the base plate 216, the more fasteners may be used to secure the trigger block 204 to the wall, causing the trigger block 204 to be less susceptible to removal. Moreover, the placement of the gun directly over the fasteners in the base plate 216 prohibits access to the fasteners without the need of a cap or covering. The trigger block 204 may further comprise a housing 217 wherein an adjustment mechanism for the trigger rod 220 may reside.

The sliding channel 219 may be positioned along a lateral axis of the housing 217. The adjustable trigger rod 220 is configured to move within the sliding channel 219 to an appropriate fitting for various types and models of guns. This may be accomplished using an adjustment screw 224 and locking ring 226. In other words, as best seen in FIGS. 7A and 7B, the housing 217 houses the adjustment screw 224, which is inserted through a bottom end of the housing 217 and through a receiving body 228 of the trigger rod 220. To prevent the adjustment screw 224 from falling or being withdrawn from the housing 217 and receiving body 228, a locking ring 226 is secured to a top end (opposite the head) of the screw 224. As a result, when a user rotates the adjustment screw 224, it remains in position, causing the receiving body to then move along the adjustment screw 224 longitudinally, thereby causing the trigger rod to slide within the sliding channel 219 to the desired position (abutting the back side of the trigger 222 to prevent the trigger 222 from being pulled or otherwise actuated). The adjustable trigger rod 220 is configured in size, orientation, and rigidity to prevent a trigger 222 of the gun from being pulled while secured within the trigger block 204. The fixed trigger protrusion 218 may be a projection or elevated surface configured in size and shape so as to further occupy finger space within the trigger guard around the trigger 222, opposite the adjustable trigger rod 220 creating a secure fit from both sides of the trigger 222. It will be appreciated that any screws used to fasten the trigger block 204 to the wall or surface are concealed behind the gun, as shown in FIG. 6, preventing withdrawal when a gun is secured thereto using the stock receiver 202 and barrel lock 106.

Other adjustment mechanisms may also be used. For example, the adjustable trigger rod 220 may comprise a bolt on a first surface of the trigger receiver 204 that moves along the sliding channel 219 until secured in place by a nut on a rear surface of the trigger receiver 204.

Referring to FIG. 8, in some embodiments, a stock receiver 250 comprises a bracket 252 and a housing 254 securable to the bracket 252. In some embodiments, the bracket 252 is an L-bracket and comprises a surface plate 256 for securing to a surface or wall, and a receiving plate 258 for receiving and holding the housing 254. For example, a user may secure the surface plate 256 to a stud in a wall using screws through a plurality of apertures 260. Once secured to the stud, the housing may be coupled to the receiving plate 258 using screws through housing apertures 262 that align with corresponding receiving plate apertures 264. As will be appreciated, once a stock 208 of a gun is received within the housing 250, the screws coupling the housing 254 to the receiving plate 258 are inaccessible.

Referring to FIGS. 9A-9D, a barrel lock 266 comprises a housing 268, a hinged door 270 hingedly coupled to the housing 268, and a barrel receiving aperture 272. The housing may further comprise a barrel clamp 274 for gripping the barrel 132 of a gun when placed therein, as best seen in FIG. 10. The hinged door 270 comprises a locking mechanism 276 for securing the hinged door 270 to the housing 268 when closed. The locking mechanism 276 comprises a latch 278 for engaging a strike plate 280 located within the housing 268. The locking mechanism 276 may be actuatable using known methods, such as a key or pin code. In some embodiments, as shown, the locking mechanism 276 may be actuatable using a fingerprint sensor 282 (e.g., capacitive scanner, optical scanner, ultrasonic scanner, etc.), a microcontroller 284 (or other processor and memory), and a solenoid 286 or other mechanism for releasing the latch 278, allowing it to clear the strike plate 280, thereby allowing the hinged door 270 to open. In some embodiments, the locking mechanism 276 may comprise a wireless transceiver 288 for wireless communicating with a network or user device, such as a smartphone or tablet. This may allow a user to remotely view the status of the hinged door 270 (e.g., open vs. closed), battery status, authorize remote access by unlocking the locking mechanism 276 using user authentication via the smartphone, enrolling or removing new fingerprints, etc.

The hinged door 270 may further comprise a lock guard 290, and a foam block 292 for abutting the barrel of a gun, the barrel being interposed between the foam block 292 and the barrel clamp 274. The housing 268 may be secured to a surface using screws through a plurality of securing apertures 294.

As shown in FIG. 10, when the hinged door 270 is in an open position, the barrel 132 may be inserted or removed from the barrel clamp 274. The housing 268 (also referred to as a wall member) is secured to a stud 296 in a wall 298. Additionally, the housing 268 may comprise a shell holder 297 (e.g., bracket sized so as to hold ammunition, such as by interference fit) for holding ammunition 299. As shown in FIG. 11, when the hinged door 270 is closed, the barrel 132 is secured between the hinged door 270 and the housing 286, preventing the barrel 132 from being withdrawn.

In some embodiments, a method of use comprises a user inserting the stock 108 of a gun into the stock receiver 102, 202 at an angle and then positioning the gun so that it abuts up against or is otherwise proximal and parallel to the wall, securing the trigger 122 from movement with the trigger block 104, 204 and positioning the barrel 132 within the barrel aperture 130, 272 of the barrel lock 106, 266 closing the hinged door 126, 270 and actuating the locking mechanism 128, 276. With the gun positioned within the stock receiver 102, 202 the trigger block 104, 204 and the barrel lock 106, 266 it will be appreciated that the gun cannot be moved in any direction or discharged. Whenever a user desires quick access, however, the method of use further comprises unlocking the barrel lock 106, 206 by actuating the locking mechanism 128, 276 (e.g., placing a finger on the fingerprint sensor 282, opening the hinged door 126, 270, tilting the gun away from the wall and the trigger block 104, 204 and lifting the stock 108 of the gun from out of the stock receiver 102, 202.

In some embodiments, the method of use further comprises using a key, keycard, pin code, or software application, to unlock the locking mechanism 128, 276. In some embodiments, the method of use comprises inputting biometric data, such as the user's fingerprints, retinas, or facial features, into the biometric sensor 134, 282 to unlock the locking mechanism 128, 276. As a result, the gun may be used in a matter of seconds. In some embodiments, the hinged door 126, 270 may be spring-loaded so that when the locking mechanism 128, 276 is in the open position, the hinged door 126, 270 automatically extends away from the wall member 124 or housing 268 to allow quick removal of the barrel 132.

Accordingly, it will be appreciated that the lockable gun mount 100, 200 solves the need for a gun to be stored and secured in a readily accessible location while being loaded, overcoming problems with safety and availability in the prior art.
