Description
- A portion of the disclosure of this patent document contains or may contain material which is subject to copyright protection. The copyright owner has no objection to the photocopy reproduction by anyone of the patent document or the patent disclosure in exactly the form it appears in the Patent and Trademark Office patent file or records, but otherwise reserves all copyright rights whatsoever.
- Many people use cases to transport guns. Some gun cases are made of fabric. The user of fabric gun cases can cause the gun to be unintentionally fired or to be damaged by water or impact. There are also plastic gun cases with buckles. The buckles can be cumbersome to use and are known to fail, jam or break depending upon the operating conditions. Also, the fabric and plastic gun cases can, depending upon the conditions, enable liquid to leak into the cases. Therefore, there is a need to overcome these disadvantages, and there is also a need to improve the structure and functionality of weaponry containers.
- The present disclosure relates to a weaponry container or case that is operable to hold a weapon such as a rifle. In one embodiment, the weaponry container includes a plurality of panels or walls. Each of the panels includes an outer surface that is substantially rigid or firm. The interior of each of the panels includes a securing member, such as a cushion, to protect the weapon from shock and shifting. The interior of at least one of the panels includes one or more weapon holders. The panels are connected to each other by a coupler. Additionally, at least a portion of each panel is operable to be connected to a portion of the other panel by a fastener. The fastener enables the panels to be in an open position and a closed position. A lip covers a portion of the fastener. In the closed position, the weaponry container defines a rifle or weapon space operable to receive a weapon. The weaponry container or case includes a handle assembly.
