Definitions

  • This invention refers, in general, to a device for counting shots fired with a firearm. More specifically, this invention refers to a device which counts the shots made with a firearm, albeit an automatic, semiautomatic or manual weapon, by means of the acquisition, analysis and interpretation of signals generated in the firearm's firing cycle.
  • the device functions automatically, activating, disconnecting and setting at zero when the ammunition is consumed from the magazine in use, therefore the firearm user does not intervene in the operation of the aforementioned device, and furthermore is provided with information on the ammunition consumption in real time as it is produced.
  • a revolver type firearm that is, a firearm which has drum normally able to hold 6 cartridges
  • the task of controlling the number of shots carried out may become arduous and complicated, and the shooter may be surprised with the last unexpected shot that is, without prior warning.
  • One object of the invention is to provide a device which is able to count and show, in real time, the number of shots fired with the firearm by means of the weapon's firing cycle.
  • the shot counter in this invention counts the number of shots fired with the firearm which has a dynamic or static firing cycle.
  • a dynamic firing cycle is that which is fired by an automatic or semiautomatic firearm, which includes at least the mechanical actions of shooting, hammering and loading in such a way that it is prepared for the next shot and which implies movement of specific mechanical elements.
  • Each dynamic cycle corresponds to a partial count and the sum of all the partial counts, that is, the shots fired, corresponds to a total count of the number of shots fired by the firearm throughout its operative life.
  • the static firing cycle is defined as that made by a firearm which comprises, at least, the mechanical action of shooting, and in which the operations of introducing the cartridge into the chamber and extraction of the spent cartridge are made manually.
  • Each static cycle corresponds to a partial count and the sum of all the partial counts, that is, the shots fired, corresponds to a total count of the number of shots fired by the firearm throughout its operative life
  • the total counter of the shots fired by the firearm enable perfect maintenance of those parts which undergo most wear during use, thus preventing irreparable damage to the firearm.
  • the count thereof is made in one of the following two ways In the first, on the basis of times and speeds of displacement of a linear or rotational movement of an element which is displaced in reaction to the shot, thus forming part of the firearm's closing system.
  • Parameters which characterise a disturbance may be for example, amplitude, duration etc. of the disturbance.
  • the count thereof is made on the basis of the characteristics of the disturbances generated in at least one element of the firearm when the shot is produced.
  • Parameters which characterise a disturbance may be for example, amplitude, duration etc. of the disturbance.
  • the dynamic cycle may be complete or incomplete.
  • a dynamic cycle should be considered to be complete when it ends with a new cartridge fed into the chamber and, therefore, ready to be fired.
  • the dynamic cycle is incomplete when the firearm is unloaded as there are no more cartridges in the magazine or as it has jammed, that is, the firearm cannot fire again until a new magazine has been inserted.
  • Another object of the invention is its ability to ensure visibility in real time of the partial and total count in a visual display unit, situated in the firearm itself or in a device situated at a distance from the firearm which is firing the shot and in any situation when using the firearm.
  • Another object of the invention is to make a lightweight counter with reduced dimensions which does not interfere with the use of the firearm and which is simple to mount both in long and short arms, of the type already in existence or new manufacture.
  • a further object of the invention is that the counter has considerable operational autonomy, including several thousand shots, as a result of its reduced electrical energy consumption. This autonomy is achieved by means of electronic circuits which remain in repose until a shot is fired. At that moment the counter is automatically activated, presents the information relating to the partial count, that is, that which corresponds to the magazine which is being used, during a pre-established time period and finally it returns to the resting position until the next shot.
  • Another object of the shot counter is that the shooter does not intervene or interfere in its operation.
  • the counter When a shot is fired, the counter is activated, it memorises the information, shows it during a pre-established time period on the visual display unit so that it does not distract the shooter's attention any longer than necessary and prevents its position from being visible in the dark and returns to its resting state until the next shot. If the user wishes to consult the number of shots fired, a button is activated for this purpose, causing the stored information to be shown on the visual display unit for a number of seconds.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide useful information in order to assess the ageing and wear of the main components of the firearm by means of analysis of the firing cycles made with the arm throughout its lifetime.
  • Another object of the invention is to use the visual display unit and the electronic circuits of the shot counter to show other information inherent to the operation of the firearm such as, for example, the barrel temperature. In this way we will be able to avoid excessive temperature values during intensive use, in short periods of time, as these could affect the firearm's precision or endanger the shooter and/or the firearm.
  • Figures 1a and 1b show projected views of a firearm with a counter device in accordance with this invention.
  • FIGS. 2a, 2b, and 2c show profile views of the shot counter in accordance with the invention.
  • FIG. 3 shows a block diagram of the shot counter device in accordance with the invention.
  • figures 1a, 1b , 2a, 2b and 2c show illustrations of shot counter devices 12 for firearms 11, for example, pistols and rifles which include a viewing panel 21 placed preferably round the firearm's aiming system, so that the screen in itself is oriented towards the shooter's sight, and therefore, within the field of vision of the sighting system.
  • Figure 3 shows a block diagram of the shot counter 12 which includes a first means of perception or sensor 32 which is adapted to perceive certain physical characteristics relating to the action of the shot made with the firearm 11.
  • the function of counting the number of shots fired is based on the times or speeds of displacement of an element associated with the firearm's closing system for example.
  • the sensor 32 includes one or more sensors which may be magnetic, or of the electromagnetic radiation type, irrespective of whether or not they are visible to the human eye, or a combination of these.
  • the aforementioned sensor perceives a solid medium 31 which participates from movement of the alternative sliding, backwards and forwards once more, from at least one element of the closing system of the firearm 11.
  • the aforementioned solid means 31 is, at least, a magnet situated on the slide or closing system of the firearm, with the possibility of the actual slide being the aforementioned means 31, in which case an auxiliary magnet will be placed close to the sensor 32.
  • the solid medium 31 is, at least, a reflective layer or surface situated on the slide or firearm closing system, with the aforementioned means 31 being the slide itself.
  • the firearm which carries out a firing cycle may obtain information in order to count the shots carried out on the basis of the characteristics of the dynamic disturbances suffered by the firearm when it fires a shot. Therefore, the sensor 32, includes one or more vibration sensors such as for example of the piezoelectric type.
  • the function of counting the number of shots fired is based on the characteristics of the dynamic disturbances to which the firearm 11 is subject in a similar manner to the previously mentioned case.
  • the sensor 32 includes one or more vibration sensors such as for example of the piezoelectric type as well.
  • the first means of perception or sensor 32 will directly receive, or through the solid medium 31, the characteristics of the firearm shot 11.
  • the sensor 32 generates at one of its exits an electrical signal which is sent, through electrical connections to a programmable logical control means 33 which, in turn is connected to the visual display unit 21.
  • the electrical signal generated is analysed and compared with the signal model corresponding to a shot.
  • the microprocessor 33 varies in a unit both in terms of the number of total shots fired with a firearm 11, total count, such as the number of shots fired with the magazine 13 mounted to the firearm 11, partial count.
  • the model electrical signal corresponding to the type of firing cycle characteristic of the firearm 11, dynamic or static would have been stored in the microprocessor memory 33.
  • This information is a characteristic parameter of each firearm 11 and of the type of ammunition used thereby, so that it is possible to distinguish between a complete and an incomplete cycle as well as handling of the slide by the shooter and the jamming of the weapon or when the casing is trapped by the closing system.
  • the programmable logic control means 33 based on a programming means such as a microprocessor, may be connected to an data entry means 34 which includes one or various switches or buttons which permit the selection and visual display in real time on the counter screen 21 the information required by the shooter at any time, such as the total count or partial count etc.
  • the partial counter automatically sets to zero when the microprocessor 33 identifies an incomplete dynamic firing cycle, or in another exemplary embodiment, when it identifies that the shooter has acted manually on the slide or closing system of the firearm 11.
  • the counter 12 may be configured as an accessory which is coupled to the body of the firearm 11, to any of the firearm components 11 or to any of its accessories; as a system which is housed or embedded in the firearm casing in any of the firearm 11 components, or in any of its accessories etc; so that the screen 21 may be visualised at any time by the shooter when firing a shot, that is, the screen 21 is facing towards the shooter.
  • the microprocessor information 33 may be transmitted through electrical connections, or through any means of transmission of information via an air interface to a receiver and data processing system and/or another visual display unit not shown in the drawings which form part of the shooter's equipment, or distanced therefrom.
  • the counter 12 comprises a supply unit in the form of a battery or cell 35, not shown, which supplies electrical energy to all counter circuits 12.
  • the battery 35 is small in size and of the long term type. Rechargeable batteries may also be used.
  • the counter 12 is automatically activated when a shot is fired. Initially it is in repose, with the visual display unit turned off. When the firearm fires, the sensor 32 generates a signal activating the counter 12. Following a predetermined period of non use of the fire arm, the counter returns to its resting position, maintaining the value of the counters both total and partial.
  • the counter 12 may also be automatically activated by an impact sensor, a magnetic switch or a piezoelectric sensor which picks up the mechanical vibrations of the firearm 11 when it fires.
  • the counter 12 may also include buttons for carrying out further functions such as: exclusively switching off the screen without affecting the counter as it continues incrementing as new shots are fired or selecting a certain number on the visual display unit 21 so that the counter 12 discounts a unit every time that a new shot is fired.
  • the visual display unit may be of the liquid crystal type LCD, electroluminescent, plasma, coherent light or similar, due to the fact that these technologies consume very little power.
  • the screen information 21 will be shown with different degrees of light intensity in accordance with ambient light available at any given time in order to facilitate viewing at all times. In this way it will be notably reduced when the intensity of ambient light is low or dark and it will increase when the opposite is the case.
  • the screen 21 will comprise at least two digits which may be together or separate. It may also be formed by 11 ⁇ 2 digits, namely, by a complete digit and another formed solely by two vertical segments aligned in such a way that as they take up a small amount of space it will be easier to integrate them in small firearms. In this case, for the count of more than 20 shots for example, the points at the foot of each digit will be used in order to codify the information.
  • At least one temperature probe may be placed, not shown in the figures, at an appropriate point of the barrel. This probe generates an electrical signal based on its temperature which is sent, through electrical connections, to the programmable logic control means 33.
  • the value of the temperature may appear on the visual display unit when activated by the button, in the preferred embodiment it is shown indirectly through the mode which visualises the partial counter. For example, with its intermittent flashing with two different frequencies corresponding to the two temperature scales, one lower for warning and one higher for danger, which have been previously established in the programmable logic control means 33.
  • the temperature probe may be placed at another part of the firearm so that measuring the temperature at that point infers the same, given that the temperature at both points is related given since weapon in question is the same article.
