Abstract

A gun lock system including a chamber restriction unit and a key. The chamber restriction unit includes a lock screw, a base, a nose, a stud connected between the nose and the base, at least two expandable rings and at least one solid spacer. The lock screw includes a threaded body and a lock screw head with a key receiver to receive the key. The base includes a threaded lock screw hole to receive the threaded body of the lock screw. The nose includes a lock screw body through hole to receive the threaded body of the lock screw. Each of the at least two expandable rings includes a stud hole to slide over the stud. Each of the at least one solid spacer includes a stud hole to slide over the stud and be between the two expandable rings.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A gun lock system adapted to be used with a gun having a chamber and barrel, comprising: a chamber restriction unit and a key; 
 said chamber restriction unit comprising: 
 a lock screw, said lock screw including a lock screw head, said lock screw head including a key receiver, said lock screw including a threaded body;  
 a base, said base including a threaded lock screw hole to receive said threaded body of said lock screw;  
 a nose, said nose including a lock screw body through hole to allow passage of said threaded body of said lock screw;  
 a stud connected between said nose and said base;  
 at least two expandable rings, each of said at least two expandable rings including stud holes to allow each of said at least two expandable rings to slide over said stud;  
 at least one solid spacer, each of said at least one solid spacer including a stud hole to allow each of said at least one solid spacer to slide over said stud and be between said at least two expandable rings; and  
 said at least two expandable rings positioned between said base and said nose so that when said threaded body of said lock screw is threaded into said threaded lock screw hole, said base, said at least one solid spacer and said nose move closer together and apply a compression force to said at least two expandable rings and expand said at least two expandable rings due to said compression force; and  
   said key having an end fashioned to fit into said key receiver of said lock screw such that said lock screw will rotate when said key is rotated to expand said expandable rings against the chamber of the gun, said key adapted to be long enough to fit down the barrel of the gun so as to reach said key receiver when said key receiver is in the chamber of the gun.    
   
   
       2 . The gun lock system of  claim 1 , wherein said at least two expandable rings are O-rings.  
   
   
       3 . The gun lock system of  claim 1 , wherein said base includes a rear section which is shaped like the rear of ammunition casing to allow an extractor of a gun to remove said chamber restriction unit from the chamber of the gun.  
   
   
       4 . The gun lock system of  claim 1 , wherein said chamber restriction unit is shaped like ammunition used in the gun, to allow loading of said chamber restriction unit into the gun in a similar fashion as gun ammunition when using a gun magazine.  
   
   
       5 . The gun lock system of  claim 1 , wherein said stud is formed as part of said base.  
   
   
       6 . The gun lock system of  claim 1 , wherein said stud is formed as part of said nose.  
   
   
       7 . The gun lock system of  claim 1 , wherein said nose includes a lock screw head chamber to receive said lock screw head.  
   
   
       8 . A chamber restriction unit adapted to be used with a gun having a chamber and barrel, comprising: 
 a lock screw, said lock screw including a lock screw head, said lock screw head including a key receiver, said lock screw including a threaded body;    a base, said base including a threaded lock screw hole to receive said threaded body of said lock screw;    a nose, said nose including a lock screw body through hole to allow passage of said threaded body of said lock screw;    a stud connected between said nose and said base;    at least two expandable rings, each of said at least two expandable rings including stud holes to allow each of said at least two expandable rings to slide over said stud;    at least one solid spacer, each of said at least one solid spacer including a stud hole to allow each of said at least one solid spacer to slide over said stud and be between said at least two expandable rings; and    said at least two expandable rings positioned between said base and said nose so that when said threaded body of said lock screw is threaded into said threaded lock screw hole, said base, said at least one solid spacer and said nose move closer together and apply a compression force to said at least two expandable rings and expand said at least two expandable rings due to said compression force.    
   
   
       9 . The chamber restriction unit of  claim 8 , wherein said at least two expandable rings are O-rings.  
   
   
       10 . The chamber restriction unit of  claim 8 , wherein said base includes a rear section which is shaped like the rear of ammunition casing to allow an extractor of a gun to remove said chamber restriction unit from the chamber of the gun.  
   
   
       11 . The chamber restriction unit of  claim 8 , wherein said chamber restriction unit is shaped like ammunition used in the gun, to allow loading of said chamber restriction unit into the gun in a similar fashion as gun ammunition when using a gun magazine.  
   
   
       12 . The chamber restriction unit of  claim 8 , wherein said stud is formed as part of said base.  
   
   
       13 . The chamber restriction unit of  claim 8 , wherein said stud is formed as part of said nose.  
   
   
       14 . The chamber restriction unit of  claim 8 , wherein said nose includes a lock screw head chamber to receive said lock screw head.  
   
   
       15 . A method of preventing the firing of a gun comprising: 
 inserting a chamber restriction unit in a chamber of the gun, the chamber restriction unit including a lock screw, where the lock screw includes a lock screw head, where the lock screw head includes a key receiver, where the lock screw includes a threaded body; a base, where the base includes a threaded lock screw hole to receive the threaded body of the lock screw; a nose, where the nose includes a lock screw body through hole to allow passage of the threaded body of the lock screw; a stud connected between the nose and the base; at least two expandable rings, each of the at least two expandable rings including stud holes to allow each of the at least two expandable rings to slide over the stud; at least one solid spacer, each of the at least one solid spacer including a stud hole to allow each of the at least one solid spacer to slide over the stud and be between the two expandable rings; and where the at least two expandable rings are positioned between the base and the nose so that when the threaded body of the lock screw is threaded into the threaded lock screw hole, the base, the at least one solid spacer and the nose move closer together and apply a compression force to said at least two expandable rings and expand said at least two expandable rings due to the compression force; and    inserting a key into a barrel of the gun such that the key is inserted into the key receiver, where the key has an end fashioned to fit into the key receiver of the lock screw such that the lock screw will rotate when the key is rotated to expand the expandable rings against the chamber of the gun; and    rotating the key to expand the expandable rings against the chamber of the gun and lodge the chamber restriction unit in the chamber such that the chamber restriction unit can not be removed from the chamber unless the lock screw is rotated by the key such that the expandable rings retract from the chamber.    
   
   
       16 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the chamber restriction unit is inserted into the chamber in a manner that gun ammunition is normally loaded into the chamber from a gun magazine due to the chamber restriction unit being shaped similar to gun ammunition normally loaded into the chamber of the gun.
