  • Patent number: 6585209
    Abstract: A storage bracket designed to secure and store a firearm is generally comprised of a frame and a spring-loaded stop that is adjustably secured to the frame. When inserting a firearm into the storage bracket, an individual inserts it barrel first such that the distal end of the barrel engages the stop. When the individual applies a force sufficient to overcome the force imparted on the stop by the spring, the result is compression of the spring and movement of the stop with respect to the frame that allows the rear portion of the firearm to be rotated into the storage bracket, with the rear portion of the firearm being received in and locked in the cavity defined by the frame.
