  • Firearm safety system
    Patent number: 6785995
    Abstract: A firearm safety system restricts the use of the firearm by reference to biometric data received by a sensor coupled to the firearm trigger. The biometric data is compared to at least one record of biometric data associated with a permitted user to determine whether firearm actuation is permitted. Firearm actuation is controlled by a latching track that is coupled to the firearm trigger. Firearm actuation is prevented when the latching track prevents the sliding of a ring rigidly coupled to the trigger. Firearm actuation is permitted when the latching track allows for the sliding of the ring past the predetermined location on the track.

  • Firearm safety system
    Patent number: 6718679
    Abstract: A firearm safety system restricts the use of the firearm by reference to biometric data received by a sensor coupled to the firearm trigger. The biometric data is compared to at least one record of biometric data associated with a permitted user to determine whether firearm actuation is permitted. Firearm actuation is controlled by an anchor that is pivotally coupled to the firearm trigger. Firearm actuation is prevented when the anchor is extended between the trigger and the trigger aperture. Firearm actuation is permitted when the anchor is retracted in response to a positive identification by the sensor.
