Patent Number: US 12065104 Grant Date: 2024-08-20 Filing Date: 2022-09-12
Overview
This patent protects a practical, mechanically robust gun lock system designed to secure a firearm to a buckle receiver assembly while offering flexible vehicle and fixed‑surface mounting options. Filed on September 12, 2022 and granted on August 20, 2024, the claims describe a coordinated buckle receiver and tongue assembly with a mounting extension, tamper‑proof fastener, and a swivel mount that attaches directly to a firearm to allow multi‑axis movement. Drafted to cover both simple mechanical locking (e.g., combination lock) and more advanced electronic embodiments, the specification includes optional biometric locking and smartphone app control with onboard battery, controller, and communications module. The inventive scope addresses secure attachment to vehicle seatbelt receivers, wall fixtures, and direct firearm mounts while preserving user ergonomics through an adjustable gun cradle and strap. The prosecution emphasizes durable fastener design and a swivel interface that reduces stress on the firearm mount, reflecting thorough claim drafting and technical depth by inventors based in Plainview, TX and the applicant in Plainview, TX.
