Description

1 TARIFF Eccentric locking mechanism installed inside the gun barrel. SECURITY LOCK WITH ITS OWN MECHANISM The invention is intended for the safe storage of firearms and the prevention of their unauthorized use. It has been improved; specifically, it is placed inside the gun barrel and can be accessed via a key. operated and mechanically locked inside the barrel thanks to the eccentric locking mechanism. It relates to a secured safety lock. The invention consists of a main body placed inside the barrel and this by rotating the eccentric locking element located at the end of the body with the help of a key It is based on the principle of mechanically locking the barrel into the entry area, and the existing Despite the trigger locking issue encountered in the safety systems, the ammunition reached the barrel 10 such as being able to be driven, and locking systems being easily broken or cut away. It aims to resolve technical problems, ensuring the locking mechanism is secure inside the barrel. by ensuring that it is securely fixed, it prevents the weapon from being used by unauthorized persons. a durable, long-lasting safety system adaptable to different barrel sizes It offers. 15 State of the Art: Today, this applies to both individual gun owners and law enforcement officers who carry weapons as part of their duties. safe handguns used by forces, security personnel and public officials various locking systems with different structural features for the purpose of keeping them secure. is used. However, a significant portion of the existing systems are problematic both in terms of their operating principles and in terms of 20 2 It appears to have various technical shortcomings in terms of the level of security it provides. Most security systems commonly used in the known state of the art, a plastic piece that grips the trigger guard from the outside of the gun, preventing the trigger from moving or consists of metal-bodied trigger locks. In such systems, the primary purpose is only The aim is to prevent the trigger mechanism from being used, and to avoid damage to the internal mechanisms of the weapon or the barrel. 5 No intervention is made to its structure. Therefore, in these systems... the ammunition contained in the magazine is fed into the chamber by moving the slide It cannot be completely prevented; only the pulling of the trigger can be restricted. This situation... This poses a significant risk, especially from a safety perspective. Furthermore, the existing trigger... Since a significant portion of their locks are made from plastic-based materials, they are susceptible to impact, strain, or damage. It can be broken using simple hand tools that create a leverage effect, or in a short time. It can be rendered inoperable. In some models produced with a metal body, the body... Although its durability has been increased, the locking principle is limited only to the trigger area. a safety mechanism that completely disables the weapon's operating mechanism. It is not available. 15 Another safety solution included in the known state of the art is steel cable or metal rope. a safety device that is passed through the barrel and locks when the slide is in the open position. These are the devices. In these systems, a steel cable is passed through the barrel and cartridge chamber. It locks, thus preventing the bolt from closing completely. However, this type Steel cables used in the systems can be cut in a short time using appropriate cutting tools. 3 The cable can be cut, thus significantly reducing the security level. Furthermore, the cable... If the cut or the locking mechanism is forced, the system can be easily disassembled and The weapon can be made reusable. One of the major technical problems encountered in current systems is that the locking operation of the weapon... This is done on the outer surface. The locking mechanism being located on the outside makes the product more resistant to impact. allowing access, intervention with cutting or breaking tools, and forceful removal. It is known. In particular, the fact that the locking mechanism is located outside the weapon body provides safety. This makes the system more vulnerable to external influences. Furthermore, in most existing solutions, the locking element is mechanically located inside the barrel. Since it is not secured, the lock body must be pulled out or removed using appropriate methods. 10 It is possible for the security system to be loosened. This situation allows unauthorized persons to access the security system. this facilitates its neutralization and undermines the product's basic safety function. It weakens. On the other hand, some barrel locks mentioned in the literature have a linear design placed inside the barrel. Although pin or cylindrical elements are used, these systems have 15 radial turns inside the barrel. There is no eccentric-based locking mechanism that provides mechanical locking. This Therefore, it is not possible to securely fix the product inside the barrel with high strength, various It is possible to dislodge it from its place as a result of forceful application. Furthermore, the current systems are not adequately designed to preserve the rifling and groove structure inside the barrel. No solutions have been found. The locking element is exposed to direct metal contact. 20 4 scratches, deformations on the barrel surface, or adverse ballistic properties due to Damage that could affect performance may occur. In addition, different makes and models... Due to the varying barrel lengths and diameters of the pistols produced, many existing models exist. This product is only compatible with certain weapon models; separate products are required for different sizes. It needs to be produced. Consequently, the current safety level in the known state of the art is 5. In these systems, the ability to feed ammunition into the chamber even when the trigger is locked, the lock The mechanisms can be broken or cut due to their plastic or cable structures, Because the locking mechanism is performed on the outside of the weapon, it is vulnerable to external interference. The inability to achieve a high-strength mechanical locking mechanism inside the barrel, the lock being forced open. Removable, capable of causing damage to the barrel surface, compatible with different barrel sizes 10 technical issues such as inability to provide safety in use and insufficient mechanical strength. The problems cannot be fully resolved. Therefore, an eccentric switch, operated by a key, is placed inside the gun barrel. The ammunition is mechanically secured inside the barrel thanks to the locking mechanism. Physically preventing the cartridge from being pushed into the chamber, highly resistant to external interference. 15 providing secure locking without damaging the barrel structure, and different barrels A new security lock that could be adapted to their dimensions was needed. Purpose of the Invention: Our invention features an eccentric locking mechanism that is placed inside the gun barrel. It relates to a safety lock, and the main purpose of the invention is to replace the existing 20 in the known state of the art. Inadequate mechanical strength encountered in security systems, locking mechanisms vulnerable to external interference. Their structure is unable to completely prevent the ammunition from being fed into the chamber, locking their mechanisms can be easily broken or cut and are compatible with different gun models A new generation in-barrel safety that eliminates technical issues related to compatibility. The goal is to present the system. 5 One of the main aims of the invention is to place the locking mechanism directly on the gun, rather than on its outer surface. The aim is to significantly increase the safety level by carrying out this process inside the barrel. In this context... Thanks to the developed eccentric locking mechanism, the locking mechanism is rotated via a key. The element is mechanically fixed to the barrel entry area, thus preventing the lock body from being exposed from the outside. This prevents removal by pulling or forcing. Thanks to this structure, 10 in existing systems eliminating the problems of low mechanical strength and difficulty in disassembly. that is intended. Another purpose of the invention is to ensure that even if there is ammunition in the gun magazine, the cartridge does not reach the chamber. The goal is to create a safety system that physically prevents its movement. Inside the barrel Thanks to the mechanical locking mechanism, the ammunition is loaded into the barrel as a result of the bolt movement. The passage of light is prevented, thus making it mechanically impossible for the weapon to fire. In this respect, the invention differs from existing safety systems that only prevent trigger action. to provide an additional level of safety that directly affects the weapon's operating mechanism It aims to... One of the aims of the invention is to make the locking mechanism from high-strength metal 20 6 Thanks to being manufactured from durable materials and mechanically secured inside the barrel, the cutting tool The aim is to increase the plastic's resistance to damaging or forceful external interventions. Breakage and cutting encountered in existing safety systems with enclosed or steel cable-based housings. or eliminating disadvantages such as being able to be neutralized quickly is targeted. 5 The invention also involves a locking element securely positioned inside the barrel, It aims to function without damaging the rifling and groove structure that constitutes its ballistic properties. In this context, the locking element must make controlled contact with the inner surface of the barrel and preferably with a protective coating, resulting in long-term use. The aim is to prevent possible wear, scratches and deformations. 10 Another purpose of the invention is to allow for the use of variable barrels in pistols of different makes and models. The goal is to create a modular security system that can be manufactured in sizes suitable for its length and diameter. Thus, security locks of different sizes can be produced with the same operating principle. This is possible, and the system can be used safely on numerous pistol models. is provided. 15 The invention can also be quickly accessed by an authorized user thanks to its key-controlled mechanical structure. Detachable, easy to carry and store, long-lasting, and requires low maintenance. It aims to provide a security solution for extraordinary situations such as a lost key. In such cases, the locking mechanism can be secured with authorized technical interventions. By allowing for disassembly, it provides additional ease of use for the user. 20 7 Thus, the invention creates a high-performance system that operates on the principle of eccentric locking within the gun barrel. providing security, resistant to external interference, mechanically controlling the use of the weapon. features include: preventing jamming, adaptability to different barrel sizes, long lifespan, and practical use. It features an innovative safety lock. This allows both individual gun users and safe for public employees and security personnel who carry firearms as part of their duties. 5 A technical solution is obtained that significantly improves storage conditions.

Detailed Description of Our Invention: The invention features an eccentric locking mechanism placed inside the barrel of a handgun. Safety locks ensure the safe storage of firearms and prevent unauthorized access. It was developed to prevent its use by individuals. 15 The invention consists of a gun barrel (1), safety lock main body (2), lock cylinder (3), and key housing. (4), key (5), eccentric locking head (6) and barrel entry area (7) It consists of mechanical components that work together functionally. The components work together to secure the safety lock inside the gun barrel (1). 9 positioning, mechanically securing it inside the barrel, and when necessary This ensures that it can only be removed by an authorized user. In the implementation of the invention, the first step is to attach the safety lock main body (2) to the gun barrel (1) The safety lock is placed inside the barrel along the axis from the muzzle. The body (2) is manufactured to have a cylindrical geometry suitable for the inner diameter of the barrel, 5 It will not create a gap inside the barrel and will move in a balanced manner along the axis. It is designed with specific dimensions. Safety is ensured by the linear thrust force applied by the user. The lock's main body (2), the part of the locking mechanism that remains outside, will rest against the muzzle. It is advanced inside the barrel until it reaches its position. The safety lock is not yet active during the installation process. This is 10 In this stage, the eccentric locking head (6) is connected to the locking cylinder (3) but is free. located in position and any mechanical contact with the barrel entry area (7) It does not form. Therefore, the main body of the safety lock (2) is only for placement purposes. It can move linearly inside the barrel and does not generate any locking force. It does not come through. Thus, the safety lock is inserted into the barrel without force and is 15 inches from the barrel surface. It can be easily installed without causing any damage. After the main body reaches the working position, the user presses the key (5), key It is placed in its socket (4) and rotated in the specified direction. The key is formed The rotational movement is transferred directly to the lock cylinder (3), and the lock cylinder (3) transmits this movement It transmits the eccentric locking head (6) to the safety lock, so that the safety lock is switched from passive to active. The locking position is achieved via a completely mechanical chain of motion. The eccentric locking head (6), rotated by the lock cylinder (3), is off-axis. Thanks to its geometric structure, it converts rotational movement into radial compression. It converts it into movement. As the angle of rotation increases, the eccentric locking head (6), barrel inlet 5 It approaches the region (7) and when it reaches a certain angle, it approaches the surface of the region in question. It establishes controlled mechanical contact. As a result, only rotational movement occurs. High mechanical locking force is achieved without any additional springs, pins or external components. A secure locking mechanism is achieved without the need for a fastening element. Following the mechanical contact of the eccentric locking head (6) with the barrel entry area (7), 10 The safety lock main body (2) cannot move axially inside the barrel. It is fixed in this way. The locking force is due to the geometric shape of the eccentric locking head. Due to its structure, the safety lock must be removed by pulling it from the muzzle or Significant displacement by externally applied forceful forces This prevents the safety lock from remaining in place throughout the usage period. Unwanted actions are prevented. After the locking process is completed, the safety lock main body (2) inside the barrel By physically closing it, it prevents the cartridge from advancing from the chamber into the barrel. Therefore, even if there is ammunition in the pistol magazine, operating the slide will result in... It is not possible to load the cartridge into the barrel, thus extending the weapon's firing cycle by 20. 11 In the first stage, it is mechanically interrupted. In this respect, the invention is not just a trigger. Unlike existing safety systems that restrict its movement, it directs the firing line directly. It provides an additional security measure that disables it. In addition to the safety lock inside the barrel being physically closed by the main body (2) The fact that the security lock can be disabled by external interference is also significantly important. 5 This is prevented by applying a blow to the outer part of the locking mechanism, using various hand methods. Even if forced or attempted to be broken with tools, the eccentric locking head (6) maintains its mechanical contact with the barrel entry area (7). Thus, on the outer shell The deformations that may occur do not eliminate the locking function and the system Higher mechanical strength compared to existing trigger locks and cable-type safety systems. 10 It offers. The safety lock is key to ensure the system can be used reliably and for a long time. body (2) and eccentric locking head (6), preferably made of high-strength steel or similar It is manufactured from durable metal materials. Also, on the surfaces that come into contact with the barrel... preferably using a silicone-based or similar protective coating, the rifling inside the barrel 15 and scratching or wear of the set structure can be prevented. However, different coatings The use of materials or different high-strength metal alloys also provides protection for the invention. It is evaluated within its scope. When the safety lock needs to be removed in the invention, the user turns the key (5) in the opposite direction being rotated, the reverse rotational movement created by the key (5) is transmitted through the lock cylinder (3) 20 12 The eccentric locking head (6) is transferred to the starting position. It rotates and breaks its mechanical contact with the barrel entry area (7). As a result The safety lock main body (2) is released again and any from the muzzle It can be easily removed without the need for force. Thus, the invention can be repeated. A usable, long-lasting and highly reliable in-barrel safety system 5 By doing so, it contributes to the safe storage of firearms. In addition, the safety lock main body (2) is maintained while preserving this working principle. They can be manufactured in sizes suitable for gun barrels of different diameters and lengths. Thus For different makes and models of pistols, only the frame dimensions need to be changed. The operating principle of the eccentric locking mechanism remains unchanged. This situation is 10 This ensures that the invention has a modular structure and provides safety in different pistol models. This allows it to be used in this way.
