Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates generally to firearm safety devices. Particularly, the present invention is a trigger block device designed for revolvers that prevents accidental or unauthorized discharge.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Revolvers typically do not have a safety mechanism and have an exposed trigger that makes them susceptible to accidental discharge if improperly handled. There is a need for a simple, effective, and easily removable safety block that physically prevents the firing of a revolver until it is intentionally taken off by the user.

[0003] An objective of the present invention is to provide a trigger block device that prevents accidental discharge of firearms due to an exposed trigger. The present invention provides a secure block that simultaneously can be quickly removed with intentional force to provide access to the firearm's trigger when needed.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0004] The present invention is a trigger block device comprising a body and a plurality of notches. Said body is shaped to encompass a trigger guard of a firearm. Said plurality of notches comprise ridges that secure or snap said body to a trigger guard of a firearm. When said body is secured to a trigger guard of a firearm using said plurality of notches, a user is unable to pull the trigger of said firearm, intentionally or accidentally. The firearm is rendered inoperable until the present invention is removed. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the present invention further comprises a lip. Said lip provides a ridge that the user can engage to intentionally remove the present invention from a firearm.BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0025] As a preliminary matter, it will readily be understood by one having ordinary skill in the relevant art that the present disclosure has broad utility and application. As should be understood, any embodiment may incorporate only one or a plurality of the above-disclosed aspects of the disclosure and may further incorporate only one or a plurality of the above-disclosed features. Furthermore, any embodiment discussed and identified as being “preferred” is considered to be part of a best mode contemplated for carrying out the embodiments of the present disclosure. Other embodiments also may be discussed for additional illustrative purposes in providing a full and enabling disclosure. Moreover, many embodiments, such as adaptations, variations, modifications, and equivalent arrangements, will be implicitly disclosed by the embodiments described herein and fall within the scope of the present disclosure.

[0026] Accordingly, while embodiments are described herein in detail in relation to one or more embodiments, it is to be understood that this disclosure is illustrative and exemplary of the present disclosure, and are made merely for the purposes of providing a full and enabling disclosure. The detailed disclosure herein of one or more embodiments is not intended, nor is to be construed, to limit the scope of patent protection afforded in any claim of a patent issuing here from, which scope is to be defined by the claims and the equivalents thereof. It is not intended that the scope of patent protection be defined by reading into any claim limitation found herein and / or issuing here from that does not explicitly appear in the claim itself.

[0027] Additionally, it is important to note that each term used herein refers to that which an ordinary artisan would understand such term to mean based on the contextual use of such term herein. To the extent that the meaning of a term used herein—as understood by the ordinary artisan based on the contextual use of such term—differs in any way from any particular dictionary definition of such term, it is intended that the meaning of the term as understood by the ordinary artisan should prevail.

[0028] Furthermore, it is important to note that, as used herein, “a” and “an” each generally denotes “at least one,” but does not exclude a plurality unless the contextual use dictates otherwise. When used herein to join a list of items, “or” denotes “at least one of the items,” but does not exclude a plurality of items of the list. Finally, when used herein to join a list of items, “and” denotes “all of the items of the list.”

[0029] The following detailed description refers to the accompanying drawings. Wherever possible, the same reference numbers are used in the drawings and the following description to refer to the same or similar elements. While many embodiments of the disclosure may be described, modifications, adaptations, and other implementations are possible. For example, substitutions, additions, or modifications may be made to the elements illustrated in the drawings, and the methods described herein may be modified by substituting, reordering, or adding stages to the disclosed methods. Accordingly, the following detailed description does not limit the disclosure. Instead, the proper scope of the disclosure is defined by the claims found herein and / or issuing here from. The present disclosure contains headers. It should be understood that these headers are used as references and are not to be construed as limiting upon the subjected matter disclosed under the header. All illustrations of the drawings are for the purpose of describing selected versions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0030] The present disclosure includes many aspects and features. Moreover, while many aspects and features relate to, and are described in the context of the disclosed use cases, embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to use only in this context.

[0031] As shown in FIG. 1-20, the present invention 100 is a trigger block device comprising a body 101 and a plurality of notches 105. Said body 101 is shaped to encompass a trigger guard of a firearm. Said plurality of notches 105 comprise ridges that secure or snap said body 101 to a trigger guard of a firearm. When said body 101 is secured to a trigger guard of a firearm using said plurality of notches 105, a user is unable to pull the trigger of said firearm, intentionally or accidentally. The firearm is rendered inoperable until the present invention 100 is removed.

[0032] Said body 100 is shaped to encompass a trigger guard of a firearm. Said body 100 further comprises a left wall 102, a right wall 103, and a bottom wall 104. Said left wall 102, said right wall 103, and said bottom wall 104 are shaped to cover each side of a trigger guard of a firearm. Because the present invention 100 covers and blocks each side of a trigger guard of a firearm, neither right-handed nor left-handed users can access the trigger. Throughout various embodiments of the present invention, the shape of said body 101, said left wall 102, said right wall 103, and said bottom wall 104 vary in shape depending on the corresponding trigger guard and firearm that the embodiment is tailored for.

[0033] Said plurality of notches 105 are found in the interior of said body 101. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, said plurality of notches 105 are found on the interior face of said left wall 102 and said right wall 103 of said body 101. Said plurality of notches 105 can also be referred to as posts, pips, ridges, or bumps. Said plurality of notches 105 comprise ridges that secure or snap said body 101 to a trigger guard of a firearm. When the present invention 100 is secured around a trigger guard of a firearm, said plurality of notches 105 lock the present invention 100 to the trigger guard, preventing the present invention 100 from falling off or detaching without intentional force. In other embodiments, as shown in FIG. 11-20, said plurality of notches 105 can be particularly shaped for specific trigger guards of firearms.

[0034] In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the present invention 100 further comprises a lip 106. Said lip 106 provides a ridge that the user can engage to intentionally remove the present invention 100 from a firearm. Said lip 106 extends outwardly from said body 101. While the present invention 100 can be easily removed intentionally by the user using said lip 106, the present invention 100 is intended to not detach or remove from a firearm unintentionally.

[0035] The preferred embodiment of the present invention 100 is designed to be durable and lightweight. In this embodiment, the present invention 100 can be made from various materials including polymer or metal, ensuring robustness and resistance to tampering.

[0036] Although the invention has been explained in relation to its preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that many other possible modifications and variations can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
