Abstract

A firearm with identification, safety system, preventing use by an unauthorized user. The firearm includes a scanner capable of scanning a middle and ring finger on the grip of the gun; a memory chip means for means for storing data representative of at least one fingerprint; a microprocessor connected to said scanner and said memory chip for receiving and transmitting said data, a motor means for keeping metal plate position behind the trigger until said microprocessor authenticates said fingerprint with said data; a USB port provided as an electronic interface between the microprocessor and provided preprogrammed handdrive to utilize administrative and programming function; an external computer access which is used to enhance future programing and reset the microprocessor; a power battery unit means operatively connected to said system and act as a power source; and indicator means operatively connected to said power battery for indicating low battery condition.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
We claim: 
     
         1 . An identification, safety system for firearm, the firearm incorporating a safety system comprising:
 a scanner capable of scanning a middle and ring finger on the grip of the gun;   a memory chip means for storing data representative of at least one finger print;   a microprocessor connected to said scanner and said memory chip for receiving and transmitting said data,   a motor means for metal plate movement which blocks the trigger pulling until said microprocessor authenticates said fingerprint with said data;   a USB port provided as an electronic interface between the microprocessor and the administrative and program changes; an external computer connection to the USB which can be utilized for future enhancement of the programs or functions of the microprocessor;   a power battery unit means operatively connected to said system and act as a power source; and   indicator means operatively connected to said power battery for indicating low battery condition.   
     
     
         2 . The identification, safety system for firearms as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said scanner is placed vertically on the grip handle. 
     
     
         3 . The identification, safety system for firearms as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said scanner can adjust in three horizontal positions and three vertical positions to fit individual hand size. 
     
     
         4 . The identification, safety system for firearms as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said scanner is pressure sensitive and further triggered by a pressure sensitive membrane. 
     
     
         5 . The identification, safety system for firearms as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said microprocessor is connected to said scanner and said battery. 
     
     
         6 . The identification, safety system for firearms as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said microprocessor includes said memory chip for storing fingerprints of owners or user for quick authentication. 
     
     
         7 . The identification, safety system for firearms as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said circuit board store several fingerprints using preprogrammed USB hand drive as an administrator access, to program microprocessor. 
     
     
         8 . The identification, safety system for firearms as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said memory chip involve storage of atleast  20  fingerprints in different position, atleast 10 each of both middle and ring finger for quicker positive identification. 
     
     
         9 . The identification, safety system for firearms as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said motor will keep metal plate behind the trigger to block usage until the microprocessor authenticates the current fingerprint with the database. 
     
     
         10 . The identification, safety system for firearms as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said motor will bring the the metal plate back inside the plastic housing to utilize trigger function. 
     
     
         11 . The identification, safety system for firearms as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said USB port is used to program and reset said microprocessor. 
     
     
         12 . The identification, safety system for firearms as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said USB port acts as a connector to said battery unit so that it may be recharged. 
     
     
         13 . The identification, safety system for firearms as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said power battery unit electrically connected to said microprocessor and said motor unit for powering the same. 
     
     
         14 . The identification, safety system for firearms as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said power battery unit is small and rechargeable. 
     
     
         15 . The identification, safety system for firearms as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said indicator involves three different color small LED lights. 
     
     
         16 . A method to operate identification, safety system for firearm comprising:
 providing, two electrical current connections on the microprocessor;   wherein, one of said connection is from the microprocessor to motor for quick response to the order of said circuit;   another one of said connection is in between said microprocessor and the fingerprint scanner;   said fingerprint scanners relay information to said microprocessor for authentication of the fingerprints; and after authentication said microprocessor orders the function of said motor safety device.   
     
     
         17 . The identification, safety system as recited in  claim 15 , wherein said power source is generated by a power battery unit. 
     
     
         18 . The identification, safety system as recited in  claim 15 , is stops, if upload information from said fingerprint scanner is stops to said microprocessor which further orders said motor to move metal plate back to the position behind the trigger, to avoid firing of the weapons. 
     
     
         19 . An identification, safety system for the firearm which is looking like a letter capital “T” and glued to the handle of said firearm comprising:
 the left half of the horizontal line of said “T”, will have a metal plate that will retract and extend from the plastic housing, to the position behind the trigger of said firearm; 
 wherein, said left horizontal half of said “T” encompass a motor and metal plate; 
 wherein, a reminder of the horizontal of said “T” contains the microprocessor and battery for power; 
 wherein, the vertical line of said “T”, encompass a fingerprint scanner. 
 
     
     
         20 . The identification, safety system for firearms as recited in  claim 19 , wherein said vertical line of “T”, scan swivel like a pendulum for adjustment to the size of the hand.
