ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
(a) Technical Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a cable-type fastening device for pistol trigger lock, and in particular, to a fastening device to fasten a pistol onto an object such that the trigger of the pistol is locked and the entire pistol is also chained to the object.
(b) Description of the Prior Art
ROC Pat. Publication no. 272628, entitled “Locking Device For The Trigger of A Pistol” discloses a device having a fixed seat and an engagement seat, wherein a covering hood is mounted at the external side of the fixed seat and the other side of the fixed seat is provided with a base seat. The engagement seat facing the side of the fixed seat is also provided with a base seat. This device is characterized in that the interior of the fixed seat is provided with a locking core and a combination rod, which is an extension from the locking core, and one side of the combination rod is provided with a ratchet surface. The combination rod is placed within a chamber of the engagement seat, and the engagement of the ratchet surface of the combination rod with that of an engagement block of the engagement seat provided a locking position, or if the two ratchet surfaces are separated, it is at an opened position. However, there are drawbacks in the conventional fastening device. For example, the device can only lock the trigger of the pistol so that the pistol cannot be operated but it does not ensure that the pistol will not be stolen. Therefore, if the pistol is to leave at home, the entire pistol has to be kept in a safety cupboard to ensure safety. As a result, the owner of the pistol not only needs to lock the trigger but also requires another lock set to lock the entire pistol in order to avoid the pistol being stolen.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a cable-type fastening device for pistol trigger lock, wherein the fastening device not only can lock the trigger but also secures the pistol to an object, so as to avoid the pistol being stolen.
One aspect of the present invention is to provide a cable-type fastening device for pistol trigger lock comprising a fastening seat containing a tube, the tube being provided with a positioning slot and a communication hole, and a positioning steel ball and an elastic element being mounted within the hole; a sealing block being used to seal the positioning steel ball and the elastic element and a steel cable being mounted at one side of the fastening seat, thereby the positioning steel ball is inserted into the positioning slot of the pistol trigger lock and the positioning slot of the fastening seat is engaged by a engaging hook of an engaging block of the pistol trigger lock such that the fastening seat and the pistol trigger lock are at a locking position and by the use of the steel cable, the fastening device is mounted onto a secured object.
The foregoing objects and summary provide only a brief introduction to the present invention. To fully appreciate these and other objects of the present invention as well as the invention itself, all of which will become apparent to those skilled in the art, the following detailed description of the invention and the claims should be read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Throughout the specification and drawings identical reference numerals refer to identical or similar parts. Many other advantages and features of the present invention will become manifest to those versed in the art upon making reference to the detailed description and the accompanying sheets of drawings in which a preferred structural embodiment incorporating the principles of the present invention is shown by way of illustrative example.
