Description

Technical field

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a firearm with a firearm system, the firearm comprising a firing mechanism and other elements, and wherein the firearm system comprises an electrical control element that can cooperate with a firing mechanism component so that it can prevent or allow firing mechanism depending on the case.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Such a firearm with a firing system is described, for example, in U.S. Patent No. 5,704,153. The electrical control element is an electric solenoid that controls a core forming a stop stop that can lock a control rod that is attached to the trigger and which carries a hook working with the shutter release lever.

The electrical control is powered by a power source through the electronic monitoring device, so that the electrical element moves the stop stop into the released position when it receives, via the radio transmitter / receiver to which the monitoring device is connected, a coded signal identifying the shooter authorized to shooting with that firearm.

The monitoring device and the power supply to the electrical control element are activated immediately after the shooter activates a switch that actuates the electronic laser sighting system.

Such a system with an electrical control element controlling the stopper that blocks the firing mechanism consumes a relatively large amount of energy, and in particular has a very limited reliability.

If it does not receive a firing signal, then the stopper stops the control bar, thus preventing the starter from being actuated. However, it is not excluded that a shooter who presses the trigger with great force will be successful when the firing mechanism is triggered, or he will break or bend the stopper.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to overcome the above drawbacks and to provide a firearm with a firing-enabled system that is much more reliable and whose electric control element can be designed to consume a small amount of energy.

This object is achieved by the electrical control element being a disconnecting element which can disengage the mechanical component of the firing mechanism or which can prevent the component from being engaged when it is already disconnected, thereby preventing the trigger movement from triggering said firing mechanism. mechanism.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The invention and its respective features and characteristics will be explained in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:

Fig. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a portion of a firearm provided with a firing system according to the present invention in a rest position;

Fig. 2 is a view similar to Fig. 1, but at the moment when the trigger is depressed when all shooting conditions are met; and Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 1, but at the moment the trigger is depressed when the shooting conditions are not met.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The firearm, part of which is shown in the above drawings, is a pistol comprising a frame 1 in which a firing device is mounted, of which only the trigger 2, the control rod 3 and the firing pin hook 4 are shown.

The trigger 2 rotates around a shaft 5 mounted in the frame 1 and is rotatably connected via a shaft 6 to one end of the control rod 3, the other end of which forms

4444 44 44 44 44 · 3Α hook, which can work in conjunction with the firing pin hook 4.

The control bar 3 rests with its notch on the pin 7 mounted in the frame 1, and the spring surrounding the shaft 6, not shown here, pushes the control bar 3 to move it from the trigger 2 so that when the trigger 2 moves in the direction back, then the end forming the hook 3A moves in accordance with the first movement, usually upwards due to the action of the spring, then moves in accordance with the second movement towards the front of the firearm.

The end of the control rod 3, which forms the hook 3A, is located in front of the electrical control element, i.e., in front of the electromagnet 3 which can attract the control bar 3 when supplied with electricity from a power source 9, for example batteries. said first upward movement.

Power is provided by an electronic monitoring system 10 which checks whether certain conditions are met.

One of these conditions is the correct identity of the shooter, said electronic monitoring system 10 comprising means of identification comprising, in the present case, a device 11 worn by the shooter and emitting an identification signal, the electronic monitoring system 10 being able to verify the signal.

• ·· • ♦

The electric control element 8, the power source 9 and the electronic monitoring system 10 thus form a fire-fighting system, which system operates as follows:

FIG. 1 shows a firearm and a system for allowing firing in the rest position. The end of the control rod 3 forming the hook 3A is located in its lower position near the electromagnet 8 which is not supplied with electric current.

Once any pressure is exerted on the trigger 2, the electronic monitoring system 10 is activated to verify that the shooting conditions are met, i.e. whether the correct signal is received from the transmitting device 11.

If so, the electronic monitoring system 10 prevents the electromagnet 8 from being powered.

Immediately after the trigger 2 is actuated, the end of the aforementioned actuating rod 3 forming the hook 3A first moves upwards and engages the hook 4 as shown in FIG. 2.

If the trigger is depressed more rearwardly, the control bar 3 moves towards the front end of the firearm and carries with it a firing pin hook 4 which will actuate the firing pin spring which is temporarily retained but which will later be released.

However, if the identity of the shooter cannot be established or is incorrect, which means that the shooter is not entitled to:.> *................ The firing with this firearm then the electronic monitoring system 10 allows the electromagnet 8 to be powered. As a result, the solenoid 8 pulls the control rod 3, which remains disconnected.

If said control rod 3 moves forward, it will not carry the hook 8 with it and the firing pin cannot be activated, so that shooting is impossible.

The trigger 2 can move normally, but without any effect. Since the firing mechanism is disengaged, no part of the firing mechanism can be driven.

In addition to the correct identity of the shooter, other conditions relating to the legitimate use of the firearm may also be required.

Such a condition may be, for example, verification of location or geographical location. If the electronic monitoring system 13 does not recognize a certain location, then the electromagnet 8 causes the control rod 3 to be disconnected or prevented.

The electronic monitoring system 10 may also be designed to monitor ambient environmental parameters, such as lighting conditions, in which case any fire may be prevented if there is insufficient light.

It will be appreciated that the launch mechanism may be of a construction other than that described above, and that

Instead of attracting the component of the firing device to change its operation, it is possible to move the component so as to cause disengagement, for example by means of a shaft around which another component rotates.

Instead of the electromagnet 8, other electrical controls, such as a miniature electric motor, may be provided.

The present invention is by no means limited to the embodiments described above, shown in the accompanying drawings. Conversely, various modifications may be made to the firearm described above, which are still within the scope of the present invention.
