  • Patent number: 11852430
    Abstract: A firearm safety device having a bolt for insertion through a trigger guard toward the lower receiver of the firearm. The bolt is inserted through the trigger guard so as to be positioned behind the trigger, in an axis generally perpendicular to the direction of pull of the trigger to prevent the trigger from be depressed and thus firing the weapon. The bolt extends from a base, which can be static in the form of a fixed bolt, or dynamic with the bolt configured for mechanized or electromechanical insertion through the trigger guard, such as by a lever operation, solenoid operation, or other operation. In one embodiment the safety device has a bolt affixed to a base, with the base configured to attach to the trigger guard. This embodiment provides a freely mobile transportable safety device. The safety device can be used with or integral with a firearm support mount, such as a gun rack.

  • Patent number: 11852179
    Abstract: A quick release mounting system that utilizes two opposing plate assemblies configured for attachment. The two opposing plate assemblies are configured for attachment by a pair of spaced apart posts positioned in a male plate assembly connecting to a female plate assembly. The pair of spaced apart posts has an actuator mechanism positioned within the posts, and a series of ball bearing around a circumference of the posts. In a preferred embodiment the actuation mechanism is configured to bias the ball bearing out from the circumference of each of the posts, with the actuation mechanism configured to release the outer bias on the ball bearings. Alternatively, the actuation mechanism can be configured such that the actuation mechanism biases the ball bearings out when the mechanism is actuated by a user.
