Abstract: A gun safe is disclosed. In some embodiments, the gun safe may include a safe body defined at least by a back, a first side, a second side, a top, a bottom, and a front, the front comprising an opening; a door coupled with the first side and/or the front and configured to open and close; a lower shelf coupled with the door having a first shape; and an upper shelf coupled with the door, the upper shelf having a second shape and comprising a plurality of holes configured to secure a barrel of a firearm.

Abstract: A locking mechanism for use with lightweight security doors includes a first gear and a mechanically associated second gear. A lock disposed proximate the second gear is adapted to form a releasable locking engagement with the second gear. The first gear is mechanically associated with a locking assembly which intercooperates with the door frame of the security door to produce a locking engagement therewith. The locking assembly is actuated by the rotation of the first gear. A rotation of the first gear causes a corresponding rotation of the second gear and vice versa. The second gear is mounted to be manually displaceable whereby the second gear can be displaced out of engagement with the lock and thereby become rotatable notwithstanding that the lock has been set in its locked condition.

Abstract: A locking mechanism for securing a door of a safe within a frame includes a drive gear rotatably mounted on the interior surface of the door. An extension fitted with a rack gear is mechanically cooperated with the drive gear. The extension is adapted to be slidingly displaced along the interior surface of the door so as to extend outwardly from a corner of the door and be detachably received within an aperture defined within a corner of the door frame. The intercooperation of the extension and the frame aperture forms a securement of the door and particularly the corner of the door within the door frame.

Abstract: A locking mechanism for securing a door of a safe within a frame includes a drive gear rotatably mounted on the interior surface of the door. An extension fitted with a rack gear is mechanically cooperated with the drive gear. The extension is adapted to be slidingly displaced along the interior surface of the door so as to extend outwardly from a corner of the door and be detachably engaged or abutted against the inwardly facing side of a door frame, more specifically, a corner of the door frame. The intercooperation of the extension and the frame forms a securement of the door and particularly the corner of the door within the door frame.

Abstract: A locking mechanism for use in a lightweight safe includes a toothed spur main drive gear mounted on a rotatable axis journaled through the safe's door. The main drive gear mechanically engages a pinion gear which in turn meshes with a vertically disposed rack gear. A second pinion gear also engages the rack gear and further engages a second drive gear. A securement locking mechanism, mounted to the interior face of the safe door proximate the main drive gear, is adapted for cooperation with the main drive gear for detachably restraining the main drive gear in a non-rotative orientation. The pinion drive gear/rack gear arrangement is adapted to transfer motion from the main drive gear around the aforesaid securement mechanism to the second drive gear. Each drive gear is mechanically associated with one or more laterally displaceable rack gears adapted to be displaced into engagement with the safe door frame to produce a locking engagement therewith.
