Patent application number | Description | Published |
20080216376 | LOCKABLE SAFETY FOR FIREARM - A firearm including a safety that moves between a safe position that does not permit firing of the firearm and a fire position that permits firing of the firearm, and a lock that locks the safety in the closed position wherein the lock includes an ambidextrous locking mechanism actuable from both sides of the firearm. | 09-11-2008 |
20080289237 | IDENTIFICATION CONTROL OF FIREARM - A firearm including a trigger-actuated firing mechanism, a safety device that selectively prevents and permits the firing mechanism to be actuated, and an authentication device that cooperates with the safety device and which recognizes a feature of an authorized shooter, wherein the safety device is nominally in a position that permits the firing mechanism to be actuated and is moved to a position that prevents the firing mechanism from being actuated only if the authentication device does not recognize a would-be shooter as an authorized shooter. | 11-27-2008 |
20090038197 | LIMITED USE FIREARM - A method for controlling a lifetime of a firearm including, but not limited to limiting a number of rounds a firearm can fire, wherein after a certain number of rounds have been fired, the firearm is rendered incapable of firing more rounds. | 02-12-2009 |
20100139141 | SHOT COUNTER - A method including sensing movement of an existing non-shot-indicator of a handgun, and interpreting a sensed movement of the existing non-shot-indicator as a shot fired from the handgun so that the sensed movement serves as a shot counter for the handgun. | 06-10-2010 |
20100139142 | FIREARM WITH LOADED / UN-LOADED IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM - An article including an article including a firearm including a safety that moves between a safe position that does not permit firing of the firearm and a fire position that permits firing of the firearm, the firearm further including a light indicator, and a loaded chamber indicator in electrical communication with the light indicator, wherein when the safety moves to the fire position, the light indicator emits a first distinct color if a round is loaded in a chamber of the firearm, and the light indicator emits a second distinct color if a round is not loaded in the chamber of the firearm. | 06-10-2010 |
20100199539 | LIMITED USE FIREARM - A method for controlling a lifetime of a firearm including replacing a former portion of a firing mechanism of the firearm with a new portion, and constructing the new portion of the firing mechanism with a mechanical strength weaker than the former portion so that the new portion mechanically fails after significantly less rounds have been fired from the firearm than with the former portion. | 08-12-2010 |
20110136349 | FLEXIBLE BATTERY CONNECTOR - A battery connector including an electrical connector including a plurality of terminals, each mechanically and electrically connectable with a battery, the terminals being in electrical communication with each other and mechanically connected to each other with a joint member that permits flexing the batteries with respect to one another. | 06-09-2011 |
20160018186 | SAFETY CASE FOR FIREARM - Apparatus for storing therein a firearm includes a firearm case including walls. Alignment structure extends from one of the walls positioned to abut against a rear surface of one of firearms of a given line of firearms placed in the firearm case such that a distance from the alignment structure that abuts against the firearm to a front surface of the firing pin of the firearm is equal for all the given line of firearms of the given manufacturer that have different barrel lengths. A safety rod of a fixed length is insertable into the barrel of the firearm, the fixed length being such that an end of the safety rod always reaches the front surface of the firing pin, regardless of the barrel length. | 01-21-2016 |
