Abstract

The illuminating device is designed for an anti-tank weapon or an anti-craft gun and has a lighting unit built into the hand grip (11). The cold-light source (12), on one hand, directs its light to the ground or downwards by means of a reflector (13) and, on the other hand, is connected to an . optical conductor or optical fibres (14) which direct the light beams through an optical coupling (15) to a parabolic mirror (17) mounted in the tube or barrel (3) of the weapon. This parabolic mirror consists of metal foil through which it is possible to shoot without any great loss in velocity and which is held in position by the low pressure on one side. USE/ADVANTAGE - Both target and ground underneath gun can be illuminated.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Beleuchtungsvorrichtung an Handfeuerwaffen, wie z. B. Panzerfaust oder Fliegerfaust, mit in einem Handgriff eingebau­ ter Leuchte.The invention relates to a lighting device on small arms, such as B. bazooka or pilot's fist, with built in a handle ter light.

Durch die DE-GM 89 08 505 ist bereits eine Rohrwaffe bekannt, bei der die Leuchte im Handgriff im wesentlichen zum Ausleuchten des Erdbodens vor dem Schützen dient, damit dieser sich im unwegsamen Gelände zurecht­ finden kann. Der Handgriff kann auch durch ein Gelenk nach vorne ge­ klappt werden, wodurch die Möglichkeit besteht, ein Ziel anzuleuchten.From DE-GM 89 08 505 a barrel weapon is already known in the the lamp in the handle essentially for illuminating the ground serves in front of the shooter so that he can find his way in rough terrain Can be found. The handle can also be moved forward through a joint fold, which gives the opportunity to illuminate a target.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, mit einer Beleuchtungsvorrich­ tung der eingangs genannten Art, die Möglichkeit einer gleichzeitigen Beleuchtung sowohl des Zieles als auch des Erdbodens vor dem Schützen zu schaffen. Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe erfolgt durch den kennzeichnenden Teil des Anspruches 1. Eine vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist durch den Unteranspruch 2 gekennzeichnet.The object of the invention is to provide a lighting device tion of the type mentioned, the possibility of a simultaneous Illumination of both the target and the ground before shooting create. This problem is solved by the characteristic Part of claim 1. An advantageous embodiment of the invention is characterized by sub-claim 2.

Der wesentliche Vorteil der Erfindung besteht darin, daß durch die zu­ sätzliche Weiterleitung der Lichtstrahlen durch den Handgriff nach oben auf den Parabolspiegel im Waffenrohr sowohl die Ausleuchtung eines Zie­ les als auch des Erdbodens vor dem Schützen möglich ist. Mit einer Kalt­ licht-Hochleistungslampe ist es dabei möglich, auch Ziele in größerer Entfernung, z. B. einen Hubschrauber mit der erfindungsgemäßen Zielleuch­ te zu erfassen. Der Parabolspiegel gibt dabei die Gewähr von bester Lichtausnutzung mit einem fokussierten Strahl. Wenn der Parabolspiegel aus einer dünnen Metallfolie besteht, kann diese ebenso wie das Faden­ kreuz durch die Munition ohne Minderung der Munitionswirkung durchschos­ sen werden. Außerdem kann die Einrichtung als abhörsichere Signal-/Nach­ richtenverbindung zwischen zwei Waffensystemen auf Sichtlinienverbindung verwendet werden, mit gemorsten Lichtsignalen bzw. modulierten Infrarot­ wellen. The main advantage of the invention is that by the additional transmission of the light rays through the handle upwards on the parabolic mirror in the gun barrel both the illumination of a target les as well as the ground before protection is possible. With a cold light high-power lamp, it is possible to target even larger ones Distance, e.g. B. a helicopter with the target light according to the invention te to capture. The parabolic mirror guarantees the best Use of light with a focused beam. If the parabolic mirror consists of a thin metal foil, this can just like the thread cross through the ammunition without reducing the ammunition effect will be. In addition, the device can be used as tap-proof signal / after Directional connection between two weapon systems on line of sight connection be used with mottled light signals or modulated infrared waves.  

Die Erfindung wird nachstehend anhand einer in der Zeichnung dargestell­ ten Ausführungsform erläutert. Es zeigenThe invention is illustrated below with reference to a drawing th embodiment explained. Show it

Bei einer Handfeuerwaffe 1 ist in einem Trägerrohr 2 ein Waffenrohr 3 eingesetzt, das einen Munitionskörper 4 und dessen rückstoßfreies Trieb­ werk in einem Gehäuse 5 aufnimmt. Das Waffenrohr 3 ist, wie in der DE-PS 36 43 197 näher erläutert, an beiden Enden in Weichgummiringen 6 und in der Mitte in einem Hartgummiring 7 gelagert. Letzterer bildet den Schwenkpunkt für das Waffenrohr 3, welches damit innerhalb eines Vektors von etwa ± 7° feinstabilisiert werden kann. Die Feinausrichtung auf ein Ziel erfolgt mit Ankern 8 und Spulen 9 sowie mit weiteren, hier nicht dargestellten elektronischen Bauteilen, die im Gehäuse 5 untergebracht sind. Am vorderen Ende des Waffensystems 1 ist ein Handgriff 11 ange­ setzt, in dem sich eine Kaltlichtlampe 12 befindet. Die Kaltlichtlampe 12 ist einerseits mit einem Lampenschirm 13, die das Licht senkrecht aus dem Handgriff 11 nach unten strahlt, und andererseits mit einem Licht­ wellenleiter 14 verbunden. Der Lichtwellenleiter 14 ist mit einem im Waffenrohr 3 eingebauten Optokoppler 15 verbunden, in dem eine Linse 16 vorhanden ist, die das Licht auf einen in das Waffenrohr 3 eingesetzten parabolspiegel 17 wirft (siehe auch Fig. 2). Im Parabolspiegel 17 wird das Licht gebündelt und aus der Mündung des Waffenrohres 3 abgestrahlt. Der Parabolspiegel 17 besteht aus einer dünnen durchschießbaren Metall­ folie, die in nicht dargestellter Weise durch einen im Waffenrohr 3 ge­ bildeten Unterdruck in ihrer Form gehalten wird. Weiterhin ist nahe der Mündung des Waffenrohres 3 ein Fadenkreuz 18 eingesetzt, welches in der Fig. 3 näher dargestellt ist. Das Fadenkreuz 18 kann zugleich als Anten­ ne dienen.In a handgun 1 , a gun barrel 3 is inserted in a carrier tube 2 , which receives an ammunition 4 and its recoil-free drive mechanism in a housing 5 . The gun barrel 3 is, as explained in DE-PS 36 43 197, stored at both ends in soft rubber rings 6 and in the middle in a hard rubber ring 7 . The latter forms the pivot point for the weapon barrel 3 , which can thus be finely stabilized within a vector of approximately ± 7 °. The fine alignment to a target is carried out with armatures 8 and coils 9 and with further electronic components, not shown here, which are accommodated in the housing 5 . At the front end of the weapon system 1 , a handle 11 is set, in which a cold light lamp 12 is located. The cold light lamp 12 is connected on the one hand to a lampshade 13 which radiates the light vertically downward from the handle 11 , and on the other hand to a light waveguide 14 . The optical waveguide 14 is connected to an optocoupler 15 built into the gun barrel 3 , in which there is a lens 16 which throws the light onto a parabolic mirror 17 inserted into the gun barrel 3 (see also FIG. 2). The light is bundled in the parabolic mirror 17 and emitted from the mouth of the weapon barrel 3 . The parabolic mirror 17 consists of a thin, penetrable metal foil which is held in its shape in a manner not shown by a vacuum formed in the weapon barrel 3 . Furthermore, a crosshair 18 is inserted near the mouth of the weapon barrel 3 , which is shown in more detail in FIG. 3. The crosshair 18 can also serve as an antenna ne.
