Swivel Gun Lock Assembly for Tamper-Resistant Vehicle Storage
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current firearm security systems lack effective and tamper-proof methods to securely store firearms, especially in vehicles, where unauthorized access can occur.
Innovation Solution
A gun lock system comprising a buckle receiver assembly and a buckle tongue assembly with a tamper-proof bolt, swivel mount, and a fingerprint reader, allowing secure attachment to a vehicle seat and a fixed surface, with remote locking and unlocking capabilities through a smartphone app.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a conventional locking mechanism is used for firearm storage, then the device complexity is low, but the reliability of preventing unauthorized access is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The locking system is divided into distinct functional modules: a buckle receiver assembly with locking mechanism, a buckle tongue assembly with swivel mount, and a separate fixture mount assembly. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function reliably while maintaining overall system manageability and reducing complexity through modular design.
Solution Approach 2:
The buckle receiver assembly serves multiple functions: it acts as both a securing mechanism for the firearm and a mounting interface for the fixture mount assembly. The tamper-proof bolt simultaneously provides structural attachment and security features. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate components, thereby reducing overall device complexity while enhancing reliability.
2Reliability
If a tamper-proof bolt is used to secure the firearm, then the reliability of tamper resistance is improved, but the ease of operation for legitimate access is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The firearm is pre-attached to the buckle tongue assembly using the tamper-proof bolt during the loading process. This preliminary secure attachment means that during transport, the firearm remains reliably secured without requiring continuous monitoring or additional actions. The swivel mount is pre-configured to allow legitimate access when needed, balancing tamper resistance with operational convenience.
3Reliability
If the buckle tongue assembly is fixed rigidly to the firearm, then the reliability of secure attachment is improved, but the adaptability to different mounting positions is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The swivel mount incorporates a rotational joint that allows the buckle tongue assembly to dynamically adjust its orientation relative to the firearm. This dynamic capability enables the assembly to adapt to different mounting positions and angles while maintaining secure attachment through the locking mechanism. The rotational freedom provides versatility without compromising the reliability of the secured connection.

AI summary
A gun lock system for securing a firearm to a buckle receiver assembly. The gun lock system comprises the buckle receiver assembly and a buckle tongue assembly. The gun lock system comprises buckle receiver and the buckle tongue assembly comprises a tongue. The tongue and the buckle receiver are configured to selectively connect to one another. The buckle receiver assembly comprises a mounting extension, the buckle receiver, a locking system, and a fastener receiver. A fastener comprises a tamper proof bolt. A swivel mount is mounted directly to a portion of the firearm. A swivel portion of the swivel mount can allow the buckle tongue assembly to rotate and move freely.
