Image unavailable

A storage device comprising a mounting bracket, a sliding assembly, and at least one mount by which to provide an interface for hanging and storing handguns within a cabinet or other suitable storage space whereby the sliding assembly can project outward from the storage device for unencumbered access to the handguns.

Inventors: Mark Evans

The patent describes an extendable handgun storage device featuring a sliding assembly that allows for easy access to stored handguns by projecting outward from a mounting surface. It includes a specialized mount that secures the handgun’s trigger guard and barrel in place, ensuring proper orientation and stability while stored.

Claim 1

1 . A storage device adapted to be attached to a mounting surface, the storage device comprising: a sliding assembly having a chassis and an inner member slidingly attached to the chassis; a support piece interconnected with the inner member; and at least one mount secured to the support piece; said mount comprising: a hanging member having a first neck with a proximal and distal end; the proximal end securing to the support piece and the distal end having a pair of upward facing arms extending oppositely and perpendicularly from said first neck to form a suspension valley which is sufficiently wide to cradle a trigger guard of a handgun; an alignment member having a second neck with a proximal and distal end; the proximal end securing to the support piece and the distal end having a nose and a pair of downward facing arms extending oppositely and perpendicularly from said second neck to form an alignment trough in which a barrel of the handgun rests; wherein the angle between the hanging member and alignment member of the mount is such that simultaneously the trigger guard of the handgun is cradled in the suspension valley and the barrel of the handgun rests in the alignment trough, thereby securing the position and orientation of the handgun within the storage device. a sliding assembly having a chassis and an inner member slidingly attached to the chassis; a support piece interconnected with the inner member; and at least one mount secured to the support piece; said mount comprising: a hanging member having a first neck with a proximal and distal end; the proximal end securing to the support piece and the distal end having a pair of upward facing arms extending oppositely and perpendicularly from said first neck to form a suspension valley which is sufficiently wide to cradle a trigger guard of a handgun; an alignment member having a second neck with a proximal and distal end; the proximal end securing to the support piece and the distal end having a nose and a pair of downward facing arms extending oppositely and perpendicularly from said second neck to form an alignment trough in which a barrel of the handgun rests; wherein the angle between the hanging member and alignment member of the mount is such that simultaneously the trigger guard of the handgun is cradled in the suspension valley and the barrel of the handgun rests in the alignment trough, thereby securing the position and orientation of the handgun within the storage device.
