Both the actuator means when assembled would be adjacent to each other and in physical contact with each other. The perimeter edge of the bearing means when mounted therein should be touching the second plate (84) of the restricting member (80).
  • the user need to press the side wall (92) on the first actuator means (88). This will result in the first actuator means (88) to move inwardly and push the second actuator means (94) outwardly in the same direction until the bearing is fully distanced away from the second plate (84).
  • the biasing means (104) would be fully compressed.
  • the locking mechanism (12) is technically free to move.
  • the biasing means (72) will then retract from its tension position to its compressed position resulting in slideably moving the locking mechanism (12) upwardly.
  • the second actuator means (94) at this time would be fully retracted again.
  • the firearms are now in an unlock position.
  • the user uses the hand grip bars (70) to slidebaly move the locking mechanism (12) downwardly.
  • the bearing means will rotate along the third plate (86) and at the same tile the biasing means (104) will be compressed gradually.
  • the biasing means (104) will retract itself resulting in the second actuator means (94) to fully retract itself under the second plate member (84). Any movement vertically upwards is restricted by the restricting member (80).
  • the firearm repository is designed to safely store a rifle but however the present repository can also be redesigned with some minor modification to store other types of firearms such as a handgun and etc.
  • the number of firearms stored in the firearm repository is four.
  • the present invention can also store at least one or more than four firearms at any given time.
  • the only modification required is to reduce or increase the number of recess members (20) and cut - out portions (34) on the barrier plate (32).
  • the numbers of other components will also be reduced or increase according to the number of firearms stored therein.
  • any type of locking mechanism known in the art can be adopted to replace the present locking mechanism (12) as long as the purpose of providing such features is established as in the present invention.
  • the butt end of the firearm is positioned in the recessed portion (22) and the barrel end of the firearm is positioned in the slot (34)
  • this manner of positioning the firearm can be in the opposite manner. This will involve moving the actual position of the locking mechanism from the top portion of the housing chamber to the bottom portion of the housing chamber.

Abstract

La présente invention a trait à des améliorations apportées à un système de sécurité et d'accès pour armes à feu, qui comprend une combinaison d'un dépôt d'armes à feu et d'un système de contrôle d'accès de sécurité. Parmi les améliorations, l'on compte un dépôt d'armes à feu (10), qui comprend une chambre de logement définissant un espace interne permettant de loger au moins une arme à feu, un moyen destiné à maintenir de manière sécurisée l'arme dans la chambre de logement, et un moyen destiné à verrouiller de manière sécurisée l'arme à feu dans la chambre de logement. D'autres améliorations concernent un moyen destiné à déclencher un système d'alarme lors de la détection d'un accès non autorisé à l'arme à feu, un moyen destiné à identifier et à vérifier un accès autorisé à l'arme à feu, et un moyen destiné à enregistrer toutes les opérations liées à un accès autorisé ou non autorisé à l'arme à feu maintenue dans la chambre de logement du dépôt d'armes à feu (10). D'autres améliorations liées au système de sécurité et d'accès se rapportent à des moyens destinés à localiser les armes à feu, et à repérer les armes à feu qui ont disparu ou ont été volées.
