ABSTRACT:
A voice activated locking apparatus for handguns and rifles. The apparatus is designed to fit into handgrips that replace the factory provided handgrips. Flexible membrane circuitry is contained within the handgrips as well as the power source for the apparatus so that the unit does not have to be made part of the weapon and can easily be added at a later time. The only other modification of the weapon that is necessary is to make a slight change to the trigger assembly or trigger bar. The operator speaks into a small microphone exposed to the outside surface of the handle grip so that authentication of the operator's speech pattern is performed. A verified speech pattern by a voice recognition chip unlocks a solenoid mechanism that allows the weapon to be fired. The identifiable speech pattern stored within the voice recognition chip can be reprogrammed for another user via the micrphone and an interface keypad housed on the weapon grip.
