MXPA99010601A - Target shooting simulation apparatus with firearms - Google Patents

Abstract

This invention refers to the development of an electronic apparatus for practicing simulated target shooting with real firearms, based on the use of a low-power laser installed on the arm?s barrel and using as target a camera in whose bottom it is placed a infrared receptor, which emits an electric response when the laser light strikes the target?s active surface, this response feed an electronic circuit transforming it in a visual and audible signal indicating the shooter that his/her shot was on target. The object of this invention is to have a low cost and easy-fabrication apparatus which allows complementing the effective, safe and economical training of the militia and police personnel who employ this type of weapons.

Description

"APPARATUS FOR SIMULATION OF FIREARMS WITH FIREARMS" BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION IN THE WORLD MARKET THERE ARE DIFFERENT EQUIPMENT THAT ALLOWS SIMULATING THE TRIGGERING AND / OR IMPACT OF PROJECTILES OF FIREARMS FOR TRAINING PURPOSES. THESE EQUIPMENTS INCLUDE ELECTRONIC SIMULATORS THAT USE A LASER OR INFRARED BEAM AND ARE USED AGAINST TARGETS CONSTITUTED BY ELECTRONICALLY SENSITIZED SCREENS OR AREAS THAT RECORD THE NUMBER AND / OR LOCATION OF THE IMPACTS. THE HIGH COST OF THESE TEAMS PREVENTS YOUR MASSIVE EMPLOYMENT. IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE A SIMPLE, LOW COST, EASY MANUFACTURING AND EFFECTIVE APPARATUS FOR THE TRAINING OF HANDLES, THE PRESENT DEVELOPMENT WAS MADE.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION THE APPARATUS ALLOWS SIMULATING SHOTS USING A REAL FIREARM, WITHOUT BL CARTRIDGE CONSUMPTION, CONSISTS OF TWO PARTS: AN INSERTABLE LASER EMITTER AND A WHITE ELECTRONIC DETECTOR (FIG 1). THE LASER EMITTER HAS A METAL VASTAGO WITH THE ADEQUATE DIAMETER TO THE WEAPON CALIBER, WHICH IS INTRODUCED IN THE CANE OF THE GUN, ALSO ACCOUNT WITH TWO RINGS OF RUBBER COINS THAT PROVIDE THE ADEQUATE ADJUSTMENT FOR THE BEAM OF LASER LIGHT IT IS ALIGNED WITH THE GEOMETRIC AXLE OF THE CANYON, THE LASER BEAM IS GENERATED BY A LOW POWER EMITTING DIODE WITH BATTERIES, THE LASER EMITTER HAS A SWITCH THAT PLACES BEHIND THE GUN TRIGGER (TRIGGER), THROUGH AN ALUMINUM SUPPORT , SO THAT EACH TIME THE TRIGGER IS OPPRESSED, THE MICROSWITCHY IS PRESSED AT ONCE A LIGHT PULSE WITH A LESS THAN A SECOND DURATION, THIS IS POSSIBLE WITH THE USE OF AN ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT (FIG-2) THAT INCLUDES AN ELECTROLYTIC CONDENSER CAPACITY ADAPTED TO THE INTENSITY AND DURATION OF THE LIGHT PULSE REQUIRED IN COMBINATION WITH A TWO-POSITION SWITCH, ONE POWER SUPPLY AND ONE CONDENSER DISCHARGE, THE LIGHT PULSE SIMULATES THE PRO YECTIL AND IS DIRECTED AGAINST THE ELECTRONIC TARGET, THIS LAST IS IN A CHAMBER OF RECEPTION OF PLASTIC MATERIAL ON WHICH BACKGROUND AND OF CENTERED WAY IS PLACED AN INFRARED RECEIVING ELEMENT, THIS PHOTOSENSIBLE ELEMENT IS ASSOCIATED TO AN ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT BASED ON AN INTEGRATED OPERATIONAL CIRCUIT LINEAR OF TYPE LM348 (FIG-3). THE EXPOSED SURFACE OF THE CHAMBER IS FORMED BY A TRANSMITTED MATERIAL DISC AND A DIFFUSING PLATE OF ACRYLIC, WITH THE PURPOSE THAT IN THE INSIDE BACKGROUND OF THE CHAMBER HIMSELF ILLUMINATELY SDST IMPORT THE SPECIFIED POINT WHERE THE BEAM INCIDES (FKM). THE CAMERA HAS THE DIMENSIONS, SHAPE AND COLOR NECESSARY SO THAT THE THRESHOLD SENSITIVITY OF THE PHOTOSENSITIVE ELEMENT COINCIDED WITH THE DIFFERENCE OF LIGHT INTENSITY WITHIN THE CAMERA BEFORE AND DURING THE INCIDENCE OF THE LASER BEAM, THE ELECTRICAL RESPONSE IS AMPLIFIED, REGULATED AND CONVERTED IN A VISUAL AND AUDIBLE SIGNAL THAT INDICATES THE HANDLER THAT HIS SHOT WAS SUCCESSFUL. WITH THE ABOVE, AN APPARATUS FOR TRAINING WITH INDIVIDUAL FIREARMS AT LOW COST, EFFECTIVE AND WHICH DOES NOT REQUIRE ANY MODIFICATION OF THE ARMAMENT OR CAUSE ITS WEAR OR DETERIORATION NOT TO REQUIRE FOR ITS FUNCTIONING OF THE DRIVING OF AN INTERNAL MECHANISM OF THE WEAPON,

Claims (1)

1. - - REIVB DICACIONES HAVING DESCRIBED MY INVENTION, I CONSIDER AS A NOVELTY AND CLAIM OF MY EXCLUSIVE PROPERTY WHAT IS CONTAINED IN THE FOLLOWING CLAUSE:. . APPARATUS TO SIMULATE SHOTS WITH FIREARMS COMPOSED BY TWO PARTS, THE FIRST OF THEM IS A LASER EMITTER THAT PLACES IN THE CANYON OF THE WEAPON AND ISSUES PULSES OF LIGHT WITH LESS THAN "A SECOND THROUGH AN ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT BASED ON THE USE OF AN ELECTROLYTIC CONDENSER AND A MICROSWTTCH OF TWO POSITIONS; THE LASER LIGHT SHOTS ARE CAPTURED BY THE SECOND PART CONSTITUTED BY AN ELECTRONIC DETECTOR WHITE CHARACTERIZED BY THE USE OF AN INFRARED RECEIVER PLACED IN A TRANSLUCENT CHAMBER AND COUPLED TO AN ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT BASED ON THE USE OF AN OPERATIONAL INTEGRATED CIRCUIT TYPE LM348; SO THAT THE ELECTRONIC TARGET ACCUSES THE LUMINOUS IMPACTS THAT AFFECT THEIR EXPOSED SURFACE THROUGH A VISUAL AND AUDIBLE SIGNAL.
