Abstract: A storage system having an outer housing assembly including an elongated housing having a non-rotatable curved inner structure. A top assembly is attached to an upper end of the elongated housing, and a lower assembly is attached to a lower end of the elongated housing. An arcuate housing door rotates within the top assembly and the lower assembly concentrically about a longitudinal axis and partially within and adjacent to the non-rotatable curved inner structure. An upper end of the arcuate housing door rotates around a circular plate attached to the top assembly about the longitudinal axis. The arcuate housing door rotates between a closed position that prevents access to an internal compartment within the elongated housing and an open position that provides an access opening of approximately 180 degrees about the longitudinal axis into the internal compartment within the elongated housing.

Abstract: A storage system for securing a weapon or valuable item. The storage system has an outer housing assembly including an elongated housing, an arcuate housing door and a handle assembly. The elongated housing has a non-rotatable curved inner structure. The handle assembly rotates the arcuate housing door concentrically about a longitudinal axis and partially within and adjacent to the non-rotatable curved inner structure. A rotational pivot of the handle assembly is aligned with the longitudinal axis and rotates the arcuate housing door about the longitudinal axis between a closed position that prevents access to an internal compartment within the elongated housing, and an open position that provides an access opening of approximately 180 degrees about the longitudinal axis into the internal compartment within the elongated housing.

Abstract: A storage system having an outer housing assembly including an elongated housing with a curved structure and a cylindrical housing secured adjacent to the curved structure partially within the elongated housing. The cylindrical housing rotates between a closed position and an open position. In the closed position, access to the internal compartment within the cylindrical housing is prevented. In the open position, an access opening into the internal compartment within the cylindrical housing is provided. A locking mechanism is provided in the cylindrical housing to prevent rotation or permit rotation of the cylindrical housing when the locking mechanism is in a locked position or an unlocked position respectively. In the locked position, the locking mechanism prevents the cylindrical housing from rotating into the open position.

Abstract: A locking mechanism for a rotating cylindrical assembly in a weapons storage system. The locking mechanism includes a shaft fixed to a base. A sear hub is concentrically fixed to the shaft and has a notch on a peripheral surface. A stop rotates on the rotating cylindrical assembly between a first locked position and a second unlocked position. A stop plate is concentrically fixed to the shaft that has a first arm that engages the stop shaft in the first locked position, and a second arm that engages the stop shaft in the second unlocked position. A sear lock is provided that pivots into and out of the notch in the sear hub. A lock body is provided that pivotally attached to the sear lock. When the lock body is actuated, the projection of the sear lock is thrust into a notched indentation in the sear hub thereby blocking the sear hub from being rotated.
