Description

3. State of the art

3.1.1 Various backups already exist weapons equipment. However, these usually only secure before unwanted firing by the respective Owner, but not before use by anyone who have appropriated them without authorization (e.g. thieves), or which otherwise does not enable them to handle firearms are (e.g. children). There is currently on the German Only market a lockable device that is suitable for this is. (See FRANKONIA catalog 1988/89 page 265.) This Device is clamped in the trigger guard so that it prevents the trigger from being pulled and thus the weapon backs up, but no longer locks after locking can be removed from the trigger guard.

3.1.2 A lockable one exists for repeating long weapons Device that instead of the original lock in the Weapon is used and so the cartridge chamber of the Gun blocked.  

3.2 Received in accordance with German weapons law (§ 32 I # 2 WaffG) Sports shooters have a license to acquire Single-shot long weapons (yellow weapon ownership card). Single-rifle long weapons are within the meaning of this regulation Weapons by their design no multi-loading device (Magazine) or where the multi-loading device is blocked. This has been done in the past achieved that in the original magazine of the weapon Wood part was used, the downward movement of the Blocked feeder and thus prevents cartridges in the magazine can be recorded.

4. Criticism of the state of the art

4.1.1 The device mentioned under 3.1.1 can ensure protection against use by children but easily and quickly with common DIY tools to remove again, even when using gross force the firearm remains fully usable and in particular used by unauthorized persons for unlawful acts can.

4.1.2 The device described under 3.1.2 set resistance to violent removal due to their design counter, but original parts of the weapon must be removed to secure this. Repeater guns (model 98 u. Ä.) can also the lock (closure) only in tension Condition can be taken from what with a longer storage time in this state leads to the firing of the firing pin spring. For permanent storage, that would have to be added Lock to be disassembled.  

4.2 The blocking of the Multi-charging device has not proven in practice Adequate security has been proven since the wooden part is easy is again removable from the magazine, or a free Acquired, unblocked magazine still in the weapon can be used. This had a change in the Approval practice of the district administrative authorities for Consequence, the purchase as a single loader only now for such weapons, approve their multi-loading device was made unusable in the long run and no longer by the owner with common tools can be converted into multi-loaders.

This has the disadvantage that valuable originals are modified must become and thereby lose value. Furthermore the legal reverse conversion z. B. if the Gun owners have an official permit to own a gun Gun with multi-loading device received, technically as very complex.

5th task

The invention has for its object the above to fix the disadvantages mentioned, not a permanent one Intervention on essential parts of the weapon may be necessary and no parts of the weapon have to be removed.

6. Solution (overview)

This problem is solved in that in a magazine Weapon is installed a device that prevents the locked the magazine from the magazine slot can be removed, or that in weapons with box magazine the device can be removed from the box magazine.  

6.1 Essential parts

The device consists of the parts of the original magazine ( 1 ) of the respective weapon, in which a form-fitting metal block * ( 3 ) is fitted. In the metal block there is a safety lock ( 12 ), an eccentric ( 11 ), a locking bolt ( 8 ) and, depending on the type of weapon, a locking bolt ( 7 ). Depending on the use, a cartridge feeder ( 3 a) or an attachment ( 3 b) is attached to the upper part of the metal block, which prevents the bolt from repeating.

* Instead of the metal block, a shape can also be made heat-resistant cast resin can be used.

6.2 Functional description 6.2.1 Use as a backup before use Unauthorized persons

The interchangeable attachment ( 3 b) attached to the upper part of the metal block protrudes slightly from the magazine and fixes the breech ( 4 ) of the weapon in its forward position so that it can no longer be loaded or cocked.

By turning the key, the locking bolt is pushed out of the magazine by means of the eccentric, engages in the housing of the weapon ( 9 ) and prevents the magazine from being removed. Depending on the weapon type, a locking bolt is pushed out of the magazine at the same time as the locking bolt, which prevents the striker ( 6 ) of the weapon from touching the firing bolt. This means that a cartridge that is still in the cartridge chamber can no longer be ignited.

The weapon is thus locked unusable, the device can be used with general common tools out of the gun remove: sawing off the protruding part of the weapon lower part of the magazine would be the locking pin immobilize; through an existing opening in the The locking pin cannot do the system box of the weapon either more can be achieved because this is only necessary for the function of the Essential parts of the weapon would have to be destroyed (e.g. Breech, breech head).

6.2.2 Use as a single loader adapter

Instead of the cap, a cartridge feeder (3 a) is attached to the metal bracket and the magazine is fixed in the weapon as described above. A special security lock made of hardened steel is used, which can also be welded shut. The key is kept safe by the gun dealer / gunsmith. This safety device can no longer be removed from the weapon by the owner of the weapon, who is not authorized to possess multi-loading weapons, using commonly used tools, it being possible to fire one cartridge at a time. This cartridge is placed from above through the cartridge ejection opening of the weapon on the feeder and is repeated in the cartridge chamber. All other functions of the weapon are not affected by the use of the single charger adapter.

With a shorter positive block under Use of the free space as conventional Magazine can also have a multi-shot magazine capacity (e.g. two cartridges according to § 32 I # 1 WaffG).  

7. Achievable benefits

7.1 As already explained above, it is now possible To secure weapons in such a way that only the authorized Owner can use this. In this way the individual make an important contribution in favor of provide public security. Furthermore, this could Securing a thief from stopping the gun itself take because it is worthless to him and especially not can be sold illegally. Is also a Area of application for police and military. Even at an attack on armories would be captured Weapons worthless to offenders; also during off-road exercises outside of secured areas on the site Practice area, where experience shows that the weapon is one are at increased risk of access by criminals, this device contributes to increasing the internal security.

7.2 This invention allows sports shooters even after modification the regulatory approval practice described above, To legally own multi-load weapons as single-loaders without thereby the weapon must be modified or damaged. A legal conversion of the weapon is without loss of value possible.

7.3 Feeders and adapters are interchangeable so that the Device for the authorized owner of a Multi-load weapon continues to be used as a safety device can be.
