A. Background:
Handgun safety is very important and is an ongoing concern in today's society. Routine maintenance of the handgun is a considerable factor in contributing to handgun safety. Accordingly, the periodic inspection and cleaning of the handgun is an absolute necessity. To accomplish this the handgun must be disassembled. Therefore, it is often necessary to disassemble and clean firearms and, in particular, pistols. Of course one must have the proper tools to disassemble the handgun.
Pistols, because of their relatively small size, are often carried on a person or in a small carrying case. When being carried on a person or in the field, it is often necessary to also carry different accessories or tools for the pistol. Most pistols are designed to be partially disassembled in the field should they malfunction or require cleaning. To more completely disassemble most firearms, and in particular pistols, a punch and hammer are often required to be used. However, a punch is relatively difficult or inconvenient to carry and may be lost, misplaced, or forgotten. Accordingly, it is often difficult to fully disassemble a firearm as might be required in the field for cleaning or repair. It may be desirable to disassemble, repair, or clean a pistol in the field, and depending upon the circumstances, it may be necessary to disassemble, repair, or clean a pistol quickly without the ability to seek additional tools or assistance. Therefore, there is a need for a simple and easy to use tool that is always accessible and easily stored, and particularly when the pistol or firearm is in the field.
B. Problem Addressed:
There presently exists a genuine need for a better tool for disassembly and reassembly of automatic pistols/handguns such as the Mark Series Ruger and others. Routine maintenance of automatic handguns such as the Ruger Mark Series pistol can be somewhat cumbersome and difficult because the tools available to disassemble the handgun are not the most desirable. In order to disassemble the handgun the mainspring and barrel assembly must be removed from the frame of the gun. Therefore a simple, durable apparatus to readily and easily facilitate this process is desirable.
C. Prior Art:
The present invention is a tool for use in disassembling and reassembling a firearm, and in particular a pistol, that may be stored in a case or carried with the user of the pistol. The preferred embodiment of the device is: an improved one piece handgun disassembly and reassembling tool made of a durable material and configured for use with a handgun, the tool having a guide rod/rib with a key and an aperture, the rib having an angled section for the reassembly; an angle ended, reassembly notch contiguous to the rib and relatively thicker than the rib; an open slot interposed between the rib and reassembly notch and a block, the slot for reassembly of a barrel and a grip; the block with a flat side opposite the slot; and a dowel pin connected at one end to the block and having an angled top and a starter for a ball pin on another, opposite end of the block wherein the tool is used with the handgun such as a Ruger Mark Series or equal for disassembly and reassembly of the handgun.

It is also contemplated that various combinations or sub-combinations of the specific features and aspects of the embodiments may be made and still fall within the scope of the inventions. It should be understood that various features and aspects of the disclosed embodiments can be combined with or substituted for one another in order to form varying modes of the disclosed inventions. Thus, it is intended that the scope of at least some of the present inventions herein disclosed should not be limited by the particular disclosed embodiments described above.
Thus the scope of this invention should be determined by the appended claims and their legal equivalents. Therefore, it will be appreciated that the scope of the present invention fully encompasses other embodiments which may become obvious to those skilled in the art, and that the scope of the present invention is accordingly to be limited by nothing other than the appended claims, in which reference to an element in the singular is not intended to mean “one and only one” unless explicitly so stated, but rather “one or more.” All structural, chemical, and functional equivalents to the elements of the above-described preferred embodiment that are known to those of ordinary skill in the art are expressly incorporated herein by reference and are intended to be encompassed by the present claims. Moreover, it is not necessary for a device or method to address each and every problem sought to be solved by the present invention, for it to be encompassed by the present claims. Furthermore, no element, component, or method step in the present disclosure is intended to be dedicated to the public regardless of whether the element, component, or method step is explicitly recited in the claims.
The terms recited in the claims should be given their ordinary and customary meaning as determined by reference to relevant entries (e.g., definition of “plane” as a carpenter's tool would not be relevant to the use of the term “plane” when used to refer to an airplane, etc.) in dictionaries (e.g., widely used general reference dictionaries and/or relevant technical dictionaries), commonly understood meanings by those in the art, etc., with the understanding that the broadest meaning imparted by any one or combination of these sources should be given to the claim terms (e.g., two or more relevant dictionary entries should be combined to provide the broadest meaning of the combination of entries, etc.) subject only to the following exceptions: (a) if a term is used herein in a manner more expansive than its ordinary and customary meaning, the term should be given its ordinary and customary meaning plus the additional expansive meaning, or (b) if a term has been explicitly defined to have a different meaning by reciting the term followed by the phrase “as used herein shall mean” or similar language (e.g., “herein this term means,” “as defined herein,” “for the purposes of this disclosure [the term] shall mean,” etc.). References to specific examples, use of “i.e.,” use of the word “invention,” etc., are not meant to invoke exception (b) or otherwise restrict the scope of the recited claim terms. Other than situations where exception (b) applies, nothing contained herein should be considered a disclaimer or disavowal of claim scope. Accordingly, the subject matter recited in the claims is not coextensive with and should not be interpreted to be coextensive with any particular embodiment, feature, or combination of features shown herein. This is true even if only a single embodiment of the particular feature or combination of features is illustrated and described herein. Thus, the appended claims should be read to be given their broadest interpretation in view of the prior art and the ordinary meaning of the claim terms.
As used herein, spatial or directional terms, such as “left,” “right,” “front,” “back,” and the like, relate to the subject matter as it is shown in the drawing FIGS. However, it is to be understood that the subject matter described herein may assume various alternative orientations and, accordingly, such terms are not to be considered as limiting.
