ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a weapons vault specifically designed to operate within the parameters of security and restricted access systems. The said weapons vault consists of an electronic enclosure having an asymmetrical shaped hopper capable of holding a pistol or hand gun. The hopper is secured into place by a solenoid locking mechanism and through the force of gravity, the hopper can physically move the pistol or handgun outside of the electronic enclosure. Provided in the electronic enclosure is a magnetic micro switch detecting the position of the hopper in the open or closed position. The electronic enclosure is also provided with flush mounting features, and industry standard equipment for versatility of operating methods. The weapons vault can be connected to most any security or restricted access systems as an accessory capable of being programmed to effect various signals for dispatch.
