ABSTRACT:
The gun safety assembly includes a hand gun, a reel bearing an elongated cord connected thereto and a spring connected to the reel for biasing the cord toward and around the reel. The device also includes a ring on the gun butt and a snap ring on the free end of the cord releasably connecting the gun and cord, and a loop on the reel releasably connecting it to a gun belt. The reel is in the form of an outer casing with a cord opening therein, a cord spool disposed for rotation in the casing on a spindle, one end of the cord being secured to the spool, and a spiral spring in the casing with one end thereof connected to the casing or spindle and the other to the spool so that as the spool rotates in a selected direction to pay out the cord, the spring biases the cord toward and around the spool. The spring, casing, spool, spindle, cord, ring and snap ring preferably are of metal. With this assembly, with the reel on the gun belt and cord attached to the gun, the gun can be drawn from a holster on the belt and fully extended, the spring tension on the cord acting as a gun brace, helping the user to steady and aim the gun. When and if the gun is released, as in a scuffle, or when it is dropped accidentally it automatically retracts toward the belt and cannot be stripped from the user, e.g., a police officer. The user can also jerk it away from another person who has grabbed it, merely by quickly turning away. Thus, the assembly prevents accidental loss of the gun and also prevents an adversary from stripping the gun away.
