Trigger lock device

Abstract

A secure trigger lock for a firearm includes a solid body, an interior region formed within the solid body and adapted to accept a trigger of the firearm via an entrance formed to allow insertion of the trigger into the interior region of the solid body, the trigger when inserted into the interior region resting against an arcuate interior wall of the interior region of the solid body.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A secure trigger lock device for a firearm, comprising:
 a solid body;   an interior region formed within the solid body and adapted to accept a trigger of the firearm via an entrance formed to allow insertion of the trigger into the interior region of the solid body, the trigger when inserted into the interior region resting against an arcuate interior wall of the interior region of the solid body.   
     
     
         2 . The secure trigger lock device of  claim 1 , further comprising a lock notch positioned upon the solid body of the secure trigger lock device and proximate to the entrance to the interior region, where the lock notch is configured to secure the trigger when inserted into the interior region. 
     
     
         3 . The secure trigger lock device of  claim 1 , further comprising a tab positioned upon the solid body of the secure trigger lock device and proximate to the entrance to the interior region, the tab configured to accept a finger of the user to allow release of the secure trigger lock device. 
     
     
         4 . The secure trigger lock device of  claim 1 , where the secure trigger lock device comprises a durable, flexible foam material. 
     
     
         5 . The secure trigger lock device of  claim 1 , where the secure trigger lock device comprises a durable, flexible plastic material. 
     
     
         6 . The secure trigger lock device of  claim 1 , where the interior region of the secure trigger lock device is adaptable to different sizes of the trigger. 
     
     
         7 . A method for securing a trigger of a firearm from discharge, the method comprising:
 presenting the firearm requiring securement from discharge;   presenting a secure trigger lock device adapted to accept the trigger of the firearm;   inserting the secure trigger lock device into an interior trigger region of the firearm, where an interior region of the secure trigger lock device is configured to receive the trigger of the firearm; and   positioning the secure trigger lock device to accept the trigger via an entrance of the secure trigger lock device into an interior region of the secure trigger lock device and immobilize the trigger from movement.   
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 7 , where inserting the secure trigger lock device comprises positioning a lock notch on the secure trigger lock device to immobilize the trigger. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 7 , further comprising, upon needed use of the firearm, removing the secure trigger lock device from the interior trigger region of the firearm. 
     
     
         10 . The method of claim  10 , where removing the secure trigger lock device comprises pressing on a notch of the secure trigger lock device, where the notch is positioned upon the secure trigger lock device and proximate to the entrance to the interior region of the secure trigger lock device. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10 , where positioning the secure trigger lock device comprises positioning the secure trigger lock device against an interior arcuate wall of the interior of the secure trigger lock device. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , where the interior arcuate wall comprises a flexible material to allow positioning the trigger within the secure trigger lock device. 
     
     
         13 . An article of manufacture comprising:
 a solid body adapted to accept a trigger of a firearm;   an interior region within the solid body and adapted to accept the trigger of the firearm via an entrance to allow insertion of the trigger into the interior region of the solid body, the trigger when inserted into the interior region resting against an interior wall of the interior region of the solid body.   
     
     
         14 . The article of manufacture of  claim 13 , where the interior wall comprises a flexible arcuate wall. 
     
     
         15 . The article of manufacture of  claim 13 , further comprising a lock notch proximate to the entrance to the interior region, where the lock notch is configured to secure the trigger when inserted into the interior region. 
     
     
         16 . The article of manufacture of  claim 13 , further comprising a tab proximate to the entrance to the interior region, the tab configured to accept a finger of the user to allow release of the secure trigger lock device. 
     
     
         17 . The article of manufacture of  claim 13 , where the secure trigger lock device comprises a durable, flexible foam material. 
     
     
         18 . The article of manufacture of  claim 13 , where the secure trigger lock device comprises a durable, flexible plastic material. 
     
     
         19 . The article of manufacture of  claim 13 , where the interior region of the secure trigger lock device is adaptable to different sizes of the trigger. 
     
     
         20 . The article of manufacture of  claim 13 , where the solid body comprises a body manufactured by at least one of injection molding, additive manufacturing, stereolithography or a combination thereof.
