Portable safe
First Claim
1. A wearable portable safe, comprising:
- a back plate having at least one interior surface and at least one exterior surface;
a cover having at least one interior surface and at least one exterior surface;
and a barrel pin having a tip, a length and an outer diameter, said barrel pin outer diameter forming a sliding engagement between said barrel pin and a firearm when a firearm barrel is motivated onto said barrel pin;
wherein said back plate and said cover form a hinged attachment between them allowing said cover to rotate toward said cover about said hinged attachment into a closed position thereby forming an interior volume that is enclosed by said at least one interior surface of said back plate and said at least one interior surface of said cover, and said hinged attachment allowing said cover to rotate away from said back plate about said hinged attachment into an open position thereby exposing said at least one interior surface of said back plate and said at least one interior surface of said cover;
wherein said barrel pin is attached to an interior surface of back plate, and said barrel pin is disposed such that a firearm slidingly engaged onto said barrel pin is enclosed within said interior volume when said said cover is rotated towards said back plate into said closed position; and
said barrel pin is disposed such that a firearm slidingly engaged onto said barrel pin is able to be extracted from said barrel pin when said cover is rotated away from said back plate into said open position; and
wherein said cover rotates away from a side of a firearm disposed on said barrel pin when rotating about said hinged attachment into said open position.

Abstract
A portable safe for a firearm or other valuable, which may be worn on a belt, comprising a first plate and second cover hingedly connected along a bottom edge, and comprising a latch along a top edge. The latch may be manually operated and may be remotely lockable to prevent unauthorized opening. A firearm may be stored in the invention by placing the barrel of the gun onto a barrel pin in a sliding engagement. The barrel pin may be long enough to protrude into the chamber of the invention to prevent storage of a firearm that has a round in the chamber. The portable safe may be configured for left or right hand draw. The invention may comprise a GPS receiver such that its location may be easily ascertained. The safe comprises safety features preventing unauthorized use while allowing an authorized user quick access to its contents.

41. A wearable portable safe, comprising:
-
a back plate having at least one interior surface, and at least one exterior surface; a cover having at least one interior surface, and at least one exterior surface; wherein said back plate and said cover form a hinged attachment between them allowing said cover to rotate toward said back plate about said hinged attachment into a closed position thereby forming an interior volume that is enclosed by said at least one interior surface of said back plate and said at least one interior surface of said cover, and said hinged attachment allowing said cover to rotate away from said back plate about said hinged attachment into an open position thereby exposing said at least one interior surface of said back plate and said at least one interior surface of said cover; a latch disposed on a second edge of either of said back plate or said cover, said latch having a latched position, an unlatched position, and a thumb plate for selecting between said latched position and said unlatched position; wherein said latch prevents said back plate and said cover from rotating away from one another into an open position when said back plate and said cover are disposed in said closed position and said latch is disposed in said latched position; wherein said latch allows said back plate and said cover to rotate into an open position when said latch is disposed in said unlatched position; and an electromechanical lock having a locked state and an unlocked state, wherein said electromechanical lock prevents said latch from being disposed in an unlatched position when said lock is disposed in said locked state, and wherein said lock allows said latch to be disposed in an unlatched position when said lock is disposed in an unlocked state, and wherein said electromechanical lock is in communication with said controller and is capable of being commanded into said locked state or said unlocked state by receiving commands from said controller; a controller in communication with a wireless transceiver; a clip disposed on an exterior surface of either of said back plate or said cover, said clip capable of attachment to exterior receiving structure; at least one remote user data interface in communication with said controller; at least one lighting element disposed visible on or through an exterior surface of either of said back plate or said cover; at least one electrical switch in communication with said controller for user input to said controller, said electrical switch accessible on or through said exterior surface of either of said back plate or said cover so that it is able to be manipulated by a user; a battery in communication with said controller and said remote user data interface; and a non-transitory computer readable medium in communication with said controller, said computer readable medium comprising non-transitory computer-executable instructions for performing steps comprising; receiving and storing an authorized personal identification code from either said electrical switch or from a remote user through said wireless interface; storing said authorized personal identification code in said non-transitory computer readable medium; receiving command signals from a remote user through said wireless transceiver; commanding said electromechanical lock into a locked state or an unlocked state; transmitting status information to a remote user through said wireless transceiver; receiving a signal from said at least one electrical switch; and commanding said at least one lighting element to illuminate for indicating a status of a portable safe; wherein said cover rotates away from a side of a firearm disposed in said interior volume when rotating about said hinged attachment into said open position. - View Dependent Claims (42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75)
