Solution Overview

Problem

Existing gun locks are complex, inconvenient to quickly unlock, and lack multifunctional storage solutions for safe display and use.

Innovation Solution

A lock system with a lock catch assembly and locking device that includes a lock catch post extending into a stabilizer to secure the trigger guard ring, combined with a multifunctional gun storage stand featuring various unlocking methods and a vertical stand configuration.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a traditional gun lock structure is used to secure the trigger, then the gun can be locked safely, but the structure becomes complex and unlocking becomes slow

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrigger securityVSAvoidlock structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The lock is divided into independent functional modules: a locking assembly with locking blocks that engage with notches on the trigger, and a separate driving assembly with a driving block. This segmentation allows each component to be simple while the combination provides secure locking, resolving the contradiction between reliability and complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The locking function is extracted from a complex integrated mechanism and implemented through simple geometric features: locking blocks with notches that engage mechanically. This extraction simplifies the overall structure while maintaining secure trigger locking capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Reliability

If a traditional gun lock with multiple unlocking steps is used, then the trigger is securely locked, but the unlocking process becomes inconvenient and slow for emergency access

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrigger locking securityVSAvoidunlocking convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The locking assembly automatically returns to the locked position through elastic recovery after unlocking. The driving block disengages from the locking block, and the elastic component automatically resets the locking block to engage with the trigger notch, providing secure locking without manual intervention while allowing rapid unlocking when needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The lock operates in periodic cycles: locking when the driving block engages the locking block, and unlocking when disengaged. This periodic mechanism allows the trigger to be securely locked during storage and quickly unlocked when needed, balancing security with ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

3Ease of manufacture

If a simple gun storage stand is used, then the stand is easy to make and display, but it lacks integrated locking functionality for safe storage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestand manufacturing simplicityVSAvoidgun storage security
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The locking device is merged with the gun storage stand into a single integrated unit. The locking assembly is mounted directly on the stand, allowing the gun to be both displayed and secured simultaneously. This combination maintains the simplicity of the stand while adding reliable locking functionality through the integrated locking blocks and driving mechanism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
