Abstract

A trigger block and tamper notification system for use on a firearm includes the following: a. a main enclosure assembly comprising a housing and at least two protruding elements designed to position, respectively, in front of and in back of a firearm trigger, the protruding element in back of the firearm trigger comprising a circular base; b. a slide assembly comprising a slide housing and two channels to receive the two protruding elements; c. the protruding element in front of the trigger comprising a magnetic reed switch; d. the channel receiving the protruding element with the magnetic reed switch being adjacent to a magnet switch mounted in the slide assembly; e. a keypad on the main enclosure assembly, the keypad connecting to a control module and comprising at least four keys, the four keys enabling input of a secret four-digit number to arm or disarm at least one signaling element; and f. the control module being in communication with at least one signaling element, the signaling element(s) activated when the switch magnet is from away from the position adjacent to the reed switch. Additionally there are an internal nano-lock that is an even more secure, a remote control to operate multiple trigger blocks and a remote stealth camera coordinated therewith.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A trigger block and tamper notification system for use on a firearm, comprising
 a. a main enclosure assembly comprising a housing and at least two protruding elements designed to position, respectively, in front of and in back of a firearm trigger, the protruding element in back of the firearm trigger comprising a circular base;   b. a slide assembly comprising a slide housing and two channels to receive the two protruding elements;   c. the protruding element in front of the trigger comprising a magnetic reed switch;   d. the channel receiving the protruding element with the magnetic reed switch being adjacent to a magnet switch mounted in the slide assembly;   e. a keypad on the main enclosure assembly, the keypad connecting to a control module and comprising at least four keys, the four keys enabling input of a secret four-digit number to arm or disarm at least one signaling element; and   f. the control module being in communication with at least one signaling element, the signaling element(s) activated when the switch magnet is from away from the position adjacent to the reed switch.   
     
     
         2 . The trigger block and tamper notification system of  claim 1 , wherein the main enclosure assembly further comprises at least one indicator light to confirm keypad input. 
     
     
         3 . The trigger block and tamper notification system of  claim 1 , wherein the protruding element behind the firearm trigger further comprises a central post and at least one flange, such that when the circular base is turned, the protruding element fills the space behind the firearm trigger and prevents the firearm from being discharged. 
     
     
         4 . The trigger block and tamper notification system of  claim 1 , wherein the protruding element in front of the trigger comprises an inner end, a proximal end, a distal end and a row on either protruding side of parallel teeth. 
     
     
         5 . The trigger block and tamper notification system of  claim 1 , wherein the slide assembly further comprises a channel formed in the slide housing for the protruding element in front of the trigger, on opposing sides of which are a pair of, each pawl including a latch end and a release end and a mounting on a pivot pin intermediate the latch end and the release end, the pivot providing for movement between an engage position of engaging the parallel teeth of the protruding element, in which the latch end extends into the channel and a release position in which the latch end is withdrawn from the channel; and biasing elements carried by the housing, the biasing maintaining the pawl elements in the engaged position.
