Definitions

  • the invention relates to a multi-shot handgun for firing electrically ignitable cartridges having an electrical circuit for generating the ignition voltage, a shutter and a firing pin recorded in the closure, the firing tip rests with the shutter closed on the cartridge bottom of a charged cartridge (preamble of claim 1).
  • Such weapons are known, for example by the DE 29 49 130 , the US 6,286,242 , the WO 98/55817 or the WO 2004/010070 ,
  • the weapon according to the invention in normal stop position is meant in which the mouth points forward, the axis of the soul is horizontal and the vertical axis of the weapon is held vertically.
  • a self-loading pistol should be locked, for example, to shoot a powerful cartridge, but should still be charged with reasonable force.
  • the aforementioned weapon has a pivotable contact lever, whose pivotal movement is coupled to the movement of the closure, and which is in electrical contact with the firing pin and on the other hand with the electrical circuit, wherein it is designed such that it the electrical contact between the electrical circuit and the firing pin breaks when the shutter is open.
  • the structure of such a weapon can be designed so that it does not differ externally and in the general operation of a conventional weapon.
  • the contact lever therein resembles in particular a cock, which of the already only slightly opening closure is pivoted back and breaks the circuit to the firing pin as soon as the shutter has moved only a little backwards.
  • the ignition contact is already interrupted before the weapon has unlocked.
  • the contact lever may in turn lie within the weapon, as in a "cockerel" pistol or a self-loading rifle, but may also be exposed at the back so as to reduce the overall length of the weapon - a pistol. But since he does not need to be tense, he also does not have to be palpable by hand, so that he optionally fills a longitudinal slot on the back of the carriage of a pistol from which he only emerges during the reloading process. Accordingly, the pistol does not have a projection (the cock), such as a conventional faucet weapon, to which the weapon could catch when pulled or deployed.
  • a projection the cock
  • the firing pin are not associated with any sliding contacts that could be damaged when disassembling the weapon, since the flow of current is produced via the contact lever, which is mounted in the handle or housing and remains there when disassembling the weapon, like a cock.
  • the contact lever is formed at its end abutting the firing pin so that the firing pin is no longer touched by the contact lever in the rearwardly moving shutter and thus there is no electrical connection between these components.
  • the contact lever is pivotally mounted on a pivot axis, on the outer side in the region of this pivot axis an electrically conductive contact point is provided which cooperates with a sliding contact such that the contact point with the sliding contact is only in electrical connection when the contact lever in one Pivoting position is located, in which the shutter is closed.
  • the firing pin is electrically isolated from the weapon.
  • the circuit between a charged cartridge and the electrical circuit preferably extends on the one hand via the firing pin and the contact lever and on the other hand over the closure, and the contact lever cooperates with the closure so that when opening the circuit over the contact lever is shorted.
  • the contact lever and firing pin can be configured such that when the shutter is opened, the electrical contact between the contact lever and firing pin is interrupted.
  • the firing pin is preferably axially movable relative to the closure between two positions, with its firing tip protrudes in the first position from the shock bottom of the closure and in the second position does not protrude from the shock bottom, a firing pin him in the first biased position.
  • the contact lever is at the shutter closed at the rear end of the firing pin and is biased against this end with a contact lever spring whose spring force is greater than that of the firing pin spring.
  • the contact lever is like a cock loaded by a spring to the front, so that after each charging vigorously on the firing pin strikes (possibly a Oxidanhaftung, dirt, etc. removed) and pushes the firing pin against the force of the firing pin spring from the closure bottom.
  • contact levers are not associated with any catches, such as a conventional tap, that could dirty or break out. A hardening of the release or release of the shot by a detent failure is therefore not possible.
  • the electrical circuit has a trigger detection means coupled to the trigger (e.g., in the form of a key switch or other proximity sensor) which activates the electrical circuit when the trigger is fully pulled.
  • the trigger therefore has only a simple "trigger", which triggers the shot, so that the shot can be triggered without delay.
  • the triggering time is shorter than that of a conventional pistol, in which after triggering the free flight of the hammer or firing pin yes takes time that is longer than the time required to heat the resistor in the electric primer.
  • the electrical circuit may require a certain amount of time to restore the ignition ready to be set to be longer than the time required for recharging. It can be ensured that the flow of current to the contact lever is either interrupted or not, depending on whether single or row fire to be shot.
  • the recovery time of the ignition state is adjustable, so that the cadence of the continuous fire can be reduced almost arbitrarily. A continuous fire with a cadence of 150 rounds per minute is easily possible, which even with a pistol without stop shaft allows a reasonably accurate continuous fire, for example, when an opponent should be kept in cover.
  • the electrical circuit has a release detection device coupled to the trigger (eg in the form of a pushbutton switch or another proximity sensor). has, which activates the electrical circuit only when released trigger.
  • the trigger and release detection device By providing two in particular mechanically actuated push-button for the trigger and release detection device, one of which serves as a trigger and the other as a breaker, it is possible to make the function of the weapon simple and transparent, so that even common weapons mechanics fix faults can. Finally, it is not necessary for manufacturing defects to change the entire electrical circuit or electronics for each affected weapon, but it is sufficient to replace the corresponding element - the pushbutton or the trigger bar.
  • the key switch can be moved to a point of the gun, where they are indeed achieved by a rod connected to the trigger well, but only very short cable routes create that are not or hardly achieved, especially when cleaning and therefore can not be damaged.
  • the trigger is preferably connected to a rod which leads backwards and has an actuating means which activates the trigger detection means and the release detection means.
  • the rod does not have to perform additional pivoting movements, as in the breaker of certain conventional guns, but only a simple forward and backward movement, so that a source of error is eliminated, which in conventional guns in the two-dimensional mobility of the rod lies.
  • the rod can also be made of plastic, since it has to transmit only information (opening and closing of the key switch), but no forces, such as the tensile force during clamping of a conventional cock when Spannabzugs beautiful.
  • the trigger can, if it is pushed by the trigger spring forward, are moved against the force so far back until ultimately the shot falls.
  • a rearwardly directed pressure piece is arranged, which rests upon actuation of the trigger over an initial distance away against the handle and then only a further actuation of the trigger over a short distance and under increased spring force permits.
  • the pressure piece is therefore not only used to set the exact assignment of trigger and key switches, which can thus be fixed and without adjustment, but the pressure piece also provides the pressure point, so the increase in trigger force immediately before the fall of the shot.
  • the withdrawal force and / or the remaining withdrawal path after reaching the pressure point can be adjusted, in the simplest case by turning the pressure element within a threaded hole in the trigger blade. If, for example, the weapon falls into the mud, the entire functionality of the trigger device must be restored immediately by simply wiping behind the trigger.
  • the distance of the trigger operation is adjustable until the onset of the increased spring force, so that it is selectable whether the pressure point is set later or earlier after the beginning of the trigger actuation, or whether the shot directly or only after further subtraction, after reaching the pressure point, falls.
  • the spring force is preferably adjustable, and thus the hardness of the pressure point.
  • the adjustments do not require the disassembly of the gun, but can be done in minutes by a weapons mechanic by adjusting the pressure piece.
  • the invention provides that the electrical circuit has a battery having an output voltage lower than the voltage required to fire a shot, and a transformer circuit that transforms the output voltage of the battery to the voltage required to fire a shot. So it is highly unlikely that an accident, such as driving a tank over the gun, which could make contact, actually fires a shot. It is more important that in a weapon with an individuality assurance by an unauthorized the electronics can indeed be bridged, but this bridging is not sufficient to trigger a shot.
  • the electrical circuit has an identification device for identifying the gun holding the shooter, which activates the electrical circuit after identifying the shooter.
  • an identification device for identifying the gun holding the shooter, which activates the electrical circuit after identifying the shooter.
  • This can be chosen completely freely, as long as it is able to put the electrical circuit in and out of readiness, such as a simple receiver that interacts with a transmitter on the wrist of a shooter.
  • the electrical circuit has a safety switch which activates the electrical circuit when actuated. So he can turn on the electronics, so this holds the transformed or highly stressed voltage, and causes the electronics in non-operation, immediately reduce the transformed or high-voltage tension at least so far that with her triggering a shot is no longer possible.
  • the circuit breaker is thus not a simple switch, which is electrically upstream of the contact lever and sitting approximately in the lock, but the electronics is discharged in the assurance so far that the residual current to ignite is no longer sufficient, and only in the firing position is on the electronics ignition current provided again. This does not change the state of the push-button, so that the weapon can be loaded through and secured in complete safety. After unlocking, milliseconds are enough to establish readiness for fire.
  • the circuit breaker can be designed as a lever or wing fuse or as a pressure relief. It is preferred, however, that the safety switch is designed as a handle locking touch-down switch and associated with a handle fuse.
  • the handle lock could be located at the front of the handle, such as the cocking lever, which provided a high level of safety for an earlier, mechanical gun of the Applicant that exceeded the safety afforded by a fuse. It is preferred, however, that the handle lock tactile switch is housed in the back of the handle, where it can be operated by the lot of the gun grip embracing hand of a shooter who lies between the thumb and forefinger, similar to the usual fuses, for example the ACP pistol. This not only has the advantage that the weapon is then ready and only when it has been taken properly in the hand, but also has the advantage in a gun with magazine in the handle that the fuse switch is behind the magazine, so in one Line with the key switches and the contact lever, so that simple and short cable paths are present.
  • the electrical circuit is preferably set up in such a way that it applies an ignition voltage to the contact lever when it has been activated by the identification device, the safety switch and, in succession, only by the release detection device and then by the release detection device.
  • the problem is the placement of the battery; the gun of the WO 98/55817
  • the gun of the WO 98/55817 For example, he suggests a magazine that is completely filled with electronics and power and looks like a magazine but no longer works as such. It makes sense to easily remove the battery from the gun, but the cartridge is basically needed to carry cartridges.
  • the invention finds a compromise, which consists in the fact that in the bottom of the magazine, a battery compartment is recessed, which receives the battery. in the the rest of the magazine is filled with cartridges, like a standard magazine.
  • the shot number is not significantly lower than in a conventional pistol.
  • the battery is enclosed in the battery compartment so that it is not readily removable. As a rule, a battery is sufficient for the service life of the gun (a few years). But if a pistol very often for stop exercises o. The like. Be used, such as in the training of soldiers, simply a new magazine is required after some time. Of course, the battery can also be replaceable. Overall, however, it is preferred that the battery compartment is not open or only with special tools, so that the contacts of the battery are not damaged by frequent removal and installation.
  • the power transmission contacts between the magazine and the gun could be located anywhere on the sides or top of the magazine. But is preferred that at the Rear side of the magazine space is provided at least one connected to the battery contact with which a arranged in the magazine shaft counter contact cooperates.
  • the magazine and handle will be essentially plastic; in this case, at least two contacts are provided. But it can also be provided several contacts when the battery or arrangement of batteries must provide multiple voltages.
  • the electrical circuit in the back of the handle preferably located in a handle space, at the point at which extends in a conventional pistol, the striker spring with a striker centering rod.
  • the contact lever is biased by its spring, but this does not need to be as powerful as a conventional striker and is preferably designed as a leg spring ("clothespin spring"), which is arranged around the shaft of the contact lever around and on the housing or on Contact lever supports.
  • the firing pin is preferably formed in two parts, with a cartridge bottom facing the tip portion and the contact lever facing base portion, which are interconnected via a spring means, wherein the weight of the tip portion is less than that of the base part. Preventing an impression in the cartridge bottom without firing a shot can also be required in the case of electrically ignitable ammunition.
  • the weight of the tip part is preferably at least a factor of 5, in particular about a factor of 8 lower than that of the base part.
  • the firing pin in the two-part embodiment of the firing pin this can be axially movable relative to the closure as described above.
  • the firing pin can also be fixed with respect to the closure in the axial direction.
  • the Applicant reserves the right to put a separate protection on this two-part design of the firing pin, detached from the corresponding contact of the firing pin on the contact lever.
  • the weapon may be a rifle, a rapid-fire rifle, a submachine gun or the like.
  • the weapon is a self-loading pistol, which almost externally resembles a conventional pistol, is practically served the same way and - at least in the civilian version - does not differ in the number of firing.
  • the first shot is fired without prior tightening with a slight trigger like all shots, but the pistol, when secured or is not taken in hand, completely safe, because then there is no ignition voltage. Since the electronics increases the intrinsically insufficient voltage to a significant value, for example, from 6 volts to 60 volts, even with a soiled weapon reliable triggering a cartridge, since the high voltage compensates for possible resistance.
  • the gun has a barrel 1 which is loosely mounted in a handle 3, so that it can move backwards during the shot over a certain distance and then can tip over.
  • the barrel 1 engages at the top, as is known, in the ejector 5 a shutter 7, while at the bottom has an obliquely downwardly extending groove 9, with which he in the backward movement with a fixed cross pin 11 into engagement, down is pulled and held there.
  • the back of the barrel 1 is closed by a shock bottom of the shutter 7, as long as the barrel 1 is in a horizontal position; after tilting the barrel 1, the shutter 7 is released and moves, after he was initially accelerated by recoil, now alone backwards.
  • Magazine 15 and handle 3 have normal length, but in the bottom of the magazine 15, a space 17 is recessed, so that not the full number of cartridges in the magazine 15 fits, but less, about (zigzag) only ten cartridges. This is the highest permitted number in the US for handguns that are not orderly weapons.
  • the space 17, which is required because of the size of the hand of a shooter and thus remains in these arms in the handle 3 below the magazine 15 is not, as in conventional pistols, empty or filled by a solid block, but sitting in it a battery 19 or Voltage supply unit (accumulator, etc.) with a certain output voltage, eg 6 V.
  • Down at the back of the magazine 15 protrudes at least one opposite the magazine 15 isolated contact spring 21 out. In the usual case, two contact springs 21 (only one shown) are provided, since the magazine 15 is made of non-conductive plastic.
  • the magazine 15 may be formed as a disposable magazine, which is supplied loaded together with the ammunition and discarded after use.
  • the magazine space 17 may also be accessible and the battery 19 may be replaceable.
  • the weapons are replaced after a few decades, since then already a certain proportion is worn, and that until the onset of wear often only a few shot are fired when the frequent, ruthless use in training or causing damage in the security service.
  • Even with civilian weapons it is desirable that the weapon does not survive the owner, since after its demise the legitimately acquired weapon can go unchecked into unauthorized hands. Therefore, it is preferable that the battery 19 can not be exchanged without damaging the magazine 15, as well as being designed and arranged to last for several decades as well as several tens of thousands of shots.
  • the battery compartment 17 is large enough to accommodate such a battery 19, because the ignition requires energy, but this must be provided only for a very short time (a few milliseconds). Batteries with such a storage capacity are available today.
  • a grip space 23 is provided on the underside of the contact springs 21st opposite.
  • mating contacts (not shown), which produce a Stromf0luß with the contact springs 21 of the magazine 15.
  • the electronics (not shown) of the gun, which can be produced by a skilled electronics and which can be provided with a variety of identification devices, such as a receiver that responds only to a transmitter in the wristband of the shooter, the Weapon holds.
  • the electronics include a structure resembling the electronics of a door opener or electronic flash to bring the battery voltage to a considerably higher level. This ensures that an unauthorized person who bridges the electronics with their possibly existing identification device, with the battery voltage alone under any circumstances can not fire a shot.
  • the electronics are also designed so that the achievable surges can follow each other for a short time, so that it is ensured that when locking the weapon after a shot again current for triggering the next shot is available.
  • a handle lock 27 with a handle securing pushbutton switch 29 which sits in place of most common handle locks and ensures that it is closed only when the gun is properly enclosed by one hand.
  • the grip lock 27 can be arbitrary and approximately upwards by a spur be extended to prevent the hand is injured by the returning shutter 7.
  • a solid, mounted below rocker arm is provided, which is pressed by a (not shown) spring to the rear and a release spring 31 which contacts the push button 29 when the rocker arm is fully depressed.
  • the push-button switch 29 of the handle lock 27 is not simply a work switch that interrupts the ignition current and thus similar in function to a trigger safety. Rather, the push-button switch 29 of the handle fuse 27 outputs a signal to the electronics, which causes a transformer circuit part only then generates a sufficient ignition voltage from the battery voltage when this key switch 29 is pressed. This ignition voltage is z. B. 10 milliseconds after pressing (close) of the key switch 29 is available and is interrupted again when the key switch 29 is opened, so if the handle lock 27 is no longer with sufficient security under the hand of the operator.
  • the handle lock 27 is similar to rare but well-known mechanical grip locks, which only tension the weapon when actuated, but only requires an adjustable, possibly extremely low force to operate them.

  • the rod corresponds to the rod of a conventional (mechanical) pistol, but only the trigger spring (not shown) is overcome to build up resistance to peeling; the rod itself actuates only one microswitch 37, 39 in each of its two end positions.
  • a resilient pressure piece 43 is included in the trigger finger 41, which does not affect the front contour of the trigger finger 41, but projects to the rear in order to bear against the handle 3, when the trigger blade 41 has been pulled through.
  • the pressure piece 43 includes a compression spring (not shown), which causes the abutment force of the pressure piece 43 against the handle 3 an unmediated increase in the trigger force whose beginning is generally called “pressure point " designated. Thereafter, the trigger blade 41 must be moved a short distance under increased withdrawal force until the rod (not shown) the trigger piece 33 against the one of the microswitch 37, 39 (trigger switch 37) applies and this is closed.
  • the other of the microswitches 37, 39 (breaker 39) is actuated forward when releasing the triggering tongue 41 or when fully moving it forward and must in each Case are actuated when the trigger switch 37 is to be effective and it is supplied with power.
  • the gun has a component that looks like a cock, but is actually a contact lever 45, but which is shaped like a cock and how a cock from the shutter 7 is brought into a clamping position in which he does not remain, but again after each shot goes forward and ultimately, only when completely closed closure 7, a firing pin 47 charged, which is then pushed out of the thrust plate 13 of the shutter 7 a little.
  • the contact lever 45 is provided with a strong leg spring, as used similarly in clothes pegs, which pushes it forward. The said leg spring has no effect on the trigger 35, which also has no snaps or other resistances to overcome, which are functionally necessary in conventional mechanical pistols.
  • the firing pin 47 is closely enclosed by an insulating sleeve 49 fixedly connected to the firing pin 47 or alternatively to the shutter 7 and surrounding the firing pin 47 over its entire length.
  • a weak firing pin spring 51 pushes the firing pin 47 to the rear.
  • the contact lever 45 is pivotally mounted on a pivot axis 55. Its outer side is at least in the region of this pivot axis 55 of a not completely circumferential insulating ring 57 largely electrically isolated. It is there only a precisely arranged, outwardly electrically conductive contact point 59 is provided, which with a sliding contact 61 (FIG. Fig. 3a . b ) cooperates such that the contact point 59 is electrically connected to the sliding contact 61 only when the contact lever 45 is in its pivot position, in which the shutter 7 is closed and the firing pin 47 pushed out by the contact lever 45 from the shock bottom of the shutter 7 is ( Fig. 3a ). In all other swivel positions, the circuit is interrupted there ( Fig. 3b ).
  • the sliding contact 61 with the contact point 59 may be provided alternatively or in addition to the above variant, in which the contact lever 45 is formed at its end abutting the firing pin 47 so that the firing pin 47 is no longer from the contact lever in the backward moving shutter 7 45 is touched (since he like in Fig. 3b shown by the locking edge 53 is lifted from the firing pin 47) and thus no electrical connection between these components exists. Only when the shutter 7 is closed again, the contact lever 45 is located on the firing pin 47 and pushes it forward ( Fig. 3a ). Should the pistol be inadequate or not locked at all for any reason, then the mentioned edge 53 of the shutter 7 prevents the contact lever 45 from touching the firing pin 47.
  • the electronics emit only a single surge, after the delivery of the trigger 35 must be released back to the front.
  • the trigger piece 33 contacts the breaker switch 39, and this first puts the electronics in a state in which it prepares a second shot, provided that the push-button 29 of the handle lock 27 remains depressed.
  • the breaker switch 39 Before delivery of each shot, the breaker switch 39 is to be operated. This prevents inter alia that a shot is released when the trigger 35 is pulled and thereby loaded.
  • the "deduction weight” is determined only by the trigger spring and the pressure piece 43 and can be freely selected within reasonable limits. A rest can not be overcome.
  • the contact lever 45 can be light, because the force with which he presses on the firing pin 47 is given by his leg spring alone. The shot takes place more quickly after triggering than in a mechanical weapon, since in this triggered cock only has to lay its stroke, while in the gun shown ultimately electronics and trigger voltage determine when the shot is fired. Likewise, the counter moment of a cock disturbs not the shot accuracy, because only a relatively light contact lever 45 is present, which has stood still long at the time of triggering, so that no counter-torque occurs or the counter-torque is small.
  • the triggering voltage is quite high (about 60 volts), but safe, since it is present only for a very short time.

  • Fig. 4 shows an alternative embodiment of the firing pin 47, which is formed here in two parts. It is composed of a front, the cartridge bottom facing tip 63 and a rear, the contact lever 45 facing base bar 65 together, which are connected via a cylindrical coil spring 67 together in the longitudinal direction.
  • the coil spring 67 is supported on the front end of the base rod 65 and on a projection 69 of the tip 63, which is guided with its tail 71 still a certain length in the cylindrical coil spring 67 inside. This length is dimensioned such that the tail 71 serves as a travel limit for the movement of the tip 63 into the closure 7.
  • the mass ratio between the base bar 65 and the tip 63 is such that the tip 63 striking the bottom of the cartridge during ancestry of the shutter 7 leaves no appreciable impression there.
  • the mass ratio is at least 5 to 1, in particular 8 to 1.
  • the spring constant of the coil spring 67 is chosen so that on the one hand the impact pulse is absorbed upon impact of the tip 63 on the cartridge bottom substantially from the top 63, so not on the Transfer base rod 65 is, and on the other hand, at the cartridge bottom abutting tip 63 still sufficient contact pressure for the electrical connection is ensured.
  • shutter speeds of, for example, 3-4 m / s for example, with a peak mass of about 1 g and a base bar weight of about 8 g, a spring constant of 1 N can be provided.
  • the firing pin 47 can also be axially fixed with respect to the closure 7, ie, allow no relative movement in the axial direction with respect to the closure 7.
  • the weight of the base bar 65 is added to the weight of the shutter 7 fixedly connected thereto, substantially only the peak mass and the spring constant are to be selected appropriately so that the impact shock is sufficiently absorbed. Their values must be chosen small enough for this, but still large enough to ensure the required contact pressure for the electrical connection.
