Handgun Case for Quick Access

Abstract

An easy accessible hand gun case body, including an lower housing that is hinged to a upper housing, with a hand gun retained via a slide retention channel, that when in the closed position, prevents the handgun from being accessed or removed from the slide retention channel. When the lock assembly is unlocked, the preloaded hinge assembly rotates the upper and lower housings away from each other, uncovering the slide retention channel and allowing fluid, quick and easy access to the pistol grip of the hand gun, providing a unobstructed path for the hand gun to be draw, or deployed from the slide retention channel.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

"The present invention is a device for safely enclosing a firearm. It is a two-part gun case that allows for quick and easy access to the weapon. The case is secure and can be easily transported. The lower part of the case rotates away to provide access to the weapon from all sides. The technical effect of this invention is to provide a secure, easily transportable, and safe gun case without sacrificing unobstructed access to the handgun."

Problems solved by technology

Heretofore, a wide variety of hand gun cases have been proposed and implemented but most are configured so that while transporting the case, it is either impossible or inconvenient to remove the hand gun from the case without either repositioning the case or setting the case down.

The case design make the case cumbersome to open while transporting and does not offer an assisted or powered means of opening.

The safe does not disclose a means of attaching a gun upon the inside of the door for convenient gun access.

Mounting a gun to the door would be cumbersome from gravity alone.

The safe does not disclose a means for attaching a gun to a door or for mounting a gun with the barrel pointed downwards.

The body mechanics of the user would make it difficult to deploy the handgun while transporting the case.

This too is cumbersome and time consuming depending on the orientation of the hand gun and the dimensional space around the handgun.

In Bushnell, the projecting slide assembly is cumbersome, and in the illustrated embodiment prohibits lower access to the pistol grip of the gun.

Should the user be carrying the case, and fall while deploying the firearm, the slide assembly protruding from the case may not allow the user to quickly reach the handgun without deliberately making a drawing motion specifically towards the handgun.
