Description

The invention relates to a device for securing a firearm and a backup device and / or storing items such as this is described in the preambles of claims 1 and 2 is.

There are already various safety devices for firearms against unauthorized removal and / or firing. Usually firearms are locked in Cabinets, e.g. Rifle cabinets, or in various Museums or exhibitions by anti-theft devices monitored or provided with lock locks kept. It is also already known, for example by magnetic field effect of on the hand or on the Trigger fingers worn rings or the like., Release mechanisms for the trigger mechanism of firearms to press. A disadvantage of these devices, that again and again blocking elements, such as keys or the like., must be kept separately and the existing ones Security devices for a criminal visually usually easy to recognize or circumvent.

Furthermore, there are already various storage facilities for items such as Steel cabinets, safes, lockers in banks, Hand cassettes and the like, in different security versions regarding burglary security and Fire safety known. It is also known, in particular Safes or lockers with electric or electronic security systems and burglary protection systems to provide. The disadvantage here is that for closing and opening such safes and Safe facilities or lockers locks with complicated Keys or number codes used need to be relatively easy to understand and are explorable and it for a malicious third party It is relatively easy to see when these valuable containers or safes or lockers are opened or how they can be opened.

From US 5,461,812 A is a system for securing a firearm against unauthorized firing known. This weapon system comprises a assigned to an authorized user of the firearm Transmitter unit in the form of a finger ring and one of the Firearm assigned receiving unit for the of the transmission unit of the user can be emitted identification signals. Furthermore, this system comprises a programming device, with which the transmitting and receiving units programmed or coordinated can be. A firing with the Gun is only after successful identification an authorized user possible. These Identification takes place from the receiving unit in the firearm, by those of the transmitting unit emitted signals comprising an identification number evaluates. Furthermore, the transmitting unit of User assigned a switching device via which the transmitting unit depending on the respective Switch states with electrical energy from an energy source is supplied in the transmitting unit. The Switching device is designed such that the Sending unit only with electrical energy from the Power source is supplied in the form of a battery, when the transmitting unit is carried by a user and in addition a metallic object or the firearm is seized by this user, what for a metal detector is used. In addition, the receiving unit assigned an energy source in the weapon, which depending on a safety switch on the firearm the electrical components of the Receiver unit supplied with electrical energy. The disadvantage here is that the receiving unit as also the transmitting unit associated mechanical Switching devices for controlled power supply the transmitting unit and the receiving unit of course have a certain switching uncertainty. The proper switching function of the two switching devices can, for example, as a result of oxidation the switch contacts on the finger ring or the in Series switched switching contacts of the metal detector can not be guaranteed. In addition, you can by the manually operable switching device for the receiving unit in the weapon operating errors not be excluded. A serious one The consequence of this, however, is that the firearm at an unpredictable Emergency situation is not operational, resulting the acceptance of such a device hardly will be given.

From DE 44 46 020 A1 is a device known for controlled firing, in which between an authorized user and a weapon a transmitter-receiver system is constructed. Especially the authorized user is assigned a sender and on the weapon to be protected a receiver appropriate. The function of the weapon is only then released when a predeterminable spatial Maximum distance between the weapon and the authorized User is not exceeded and the weapon in an appropriate position to the authorized user is arranged. For distance determination between weapon and authorized user this system includes one Device about which the distance and distance the spatial position of the weapon to the authorized user is measured. Transmitter and receiver are included after activation of the system continuously in Contact and check while running the present Distance. Activation or activation of the Sender-receiver system can also by a a remote service or public authority or even by the authorized user himself over a PIN code, a bank card, a chip or a plug respectively. The disadvantage here is that the device for continuous monitoring of the distance between Transmitter and receiver or to monitor the situation Fail the weapon or determine incorrect readings can and then this to a malfunction of the weapon to lead. As a result, the authorized user is then but the wanted, often serving the self-protection Firearms use denied, causing such a System will find little appeal.

From US 5,168,114 A is a safety device against unauthorized firearms use known which one in a bangle of a legitimate User arranged transmitting unit and a cooperating with this transmitting unit receiving unit has to be secured in the firearm. The transmitting unit is encoded for delivery Radio signals and trained by one of the user manually operated switch with a rechargeable Battery in the transmitter unit with electrical energy supplied, so then a corresponding radio signal can be submitted by the transmitter. At every shutdown the energy supply by the need operable switching means is the transmitting unit and the new receiving unit to be recoded or new to coordinate with each other. This coding takes place via a trained as an independent unit Coding device, via which the batteries of the Sending unit and the receiving unit recharged can be. The disadvantage is that in premature or unforeseen discharge of the battery in the Transmitting unit the firing is no longer possible and a new programming or voting the associated transmitting and / or receiving unit must be done via the coding device to ever again received a sharp or ready to shoot weapon to be able to. Another disadvantage of this battery-backed Sender unit is that the operational readiness of the system of the state of charge of the battery is dependent.

From US 5,062,232 A is another safety device to stop unauthorized Fee known. It is preferred the palm or the fingers of the authorized user Identification means in the manner of a permanent magnetic Associated with codes or a barcode. These Identification in the area of the user's palm or even on a glove is of a suitable one Reading unit in the region of the handle of the weapon scanned. If the read-in identity matches with a given identifier is the firing allows by using an electromagnet in the gun electrical energy from a battery applied becomes. The disadvantage here is that the identifier providing or the code generating permanent magnetic Medium or barcode after a long period of use inevitably subject to wear and tear therefore these identification means with increasing Service life increasingly difficult to read or even unusable become. The reliability of identification the authorized user is thus with consecutive Useful period as by abrasion on permanent magnetic means or by scratching of the barcode attached to the palm of the hand always lower, so that the authorized user the May be refused.

From US 5,459,957 is a safety device to prevent unauthorized firing with a firearm known in which for review an authorized user a voice recognition device is provided. Prerequisite for Obtaining the readiness of the weapon is that from the authorized user the personal identification number (PIN code) is pronounced. The Speech signal is thereby from the voice recognition device recorded and the received speech pattern analyzed. If there is a match between the received speech pattern and in one Memory of the voice recognition device deposited Speech pattern detected, then the user the firearm recognized as authorized. The disadvantage is that physical state changes or special psychological changes of the mind authorized user, e.g. already mild illnesses, Nervousness, hectic or the like inevitably one Have influence on his voice and as a result the firearm for the possibly absolutely necessary Firing from the voice recognition device not released.

From US 5,016,376 A is also an apparatus to prevent unauthorized firing known. This device includes one in the weapon arranged electromagnet, which is a mechanical Release or lock the firearm latch can. This electromagnet is dependent a switching device of a battery in the Firearm charged with electrical energy. The Energy supply of the electromagnet takes place only if a permanent magnet designed as a finger ring gets into the vicinity of the switching device and the connected in series in this switching device Switch contacts close the circuit and thereby the battery is the electromagnet with electrical energy applied. The switching device is through Magnetic field-dependent mechanical switching contacts formed, which only in the prevalence of a particular Switch field strength into the closed switching state. The disadvantage here is that the number clearly distinguishable Magnetic fields is severely limited and thereby the safety device with relatively low Effort can be bypassed.

The present invention has the object underlying a security device for firearms to create a non-contact identification option creates and possibly also as a child safety device can be used.

Introducing it should be noted that in the different same described embodiments Parts with the same reference numerals or the same component designations Be provided in the whole The disclosures contained in the description corresponding mutatis mutandis to like parts with the same reference numerals or the same component designations are transferred can. Furthermore, individual characteristics may also matter the different embodiments shown for themselves, inventive solutions represent.

In Fig. 1 is a safety device 1 for several firearms 2 to 4 shown in holding devices 5, 6 and a trained as a holding device 7 Receiving box 8 are arranged.

Each of the holding devices 5, 6 is about locking devices 9 or via a locking device 10 closed for the holding device 7. A release of these locking devices 9 or 10 is only by an identification device 11, for example, a microprocessor or a computing unit, via electrical and / or mechanical Release elements 12, 13 possible.

These release elements 12, 13 can either by appropriate circuit parts - driven about program parts of the identification device 11 - be formed and serve only, for example the power supply for the locking mechanism to interrupt or initiate so that the locking device 9, 10 opens by spring force, or it can be provided own drive elements be, which the locking device 9, 10 in a Move opening position, so that the removal of a the firearms 2 to 4 is possible. This mechanical / electrical Elements that the release elements 12, 13 can form, for example, by electrically operated Tie rod magnets, drive motors, linear drives or the like.

The illustrated in this embodiment Safety device 1 further includes the Firearms 2 and 4 associated Verriegeiungsvorrichtungen 14, with which a firing tax also at one taken from the holding device 5 and 7 respectively Position can be prevented. These locking devices 14 or the associated release elements 15 are each in the firearms 2 and 4 installed so that they also possible from outside an experienced viewer are not recognizable.

While the identification device 11 for all of the previously mentioned, the locking devices 9, 10 and 14 associated release elements 12, 13 and 15 may be formed, it is in an advantageous Way possible that in the firearm 2, 4 arranged Release elements 15 own identification device 16 is assigned.

The connection between the identification device 11 and a user 17 is now wireless connected to the identification device 11 Transmitting and / or receiving units 18 and a user-carried transmitting and / or receiving unit 19. Is in or on the firearm 2, 4 itself an identification device 16 is arranged so can this another transmitting and / or receiving unit 20 for the exchange of identification data and / or Receiving electrical power.

When using a single, the permission a person checking identification device this is preferred with the locking devices 9, 10 for controlling the removal of the firearms 2, 4 line connected and with the locking device 14 for controlling the firing option in the firearm 2, 4 wirelessly, for example by radio, connected.

Each of the identification devices 11 and 16 is either via a line 21 with a power supply system 22, for example accumulators 23, batteries or a public power grid wired or wireless over one alternating electric field 24 supplied from the outside with energy. The identification device 11 or 16 can thereby either incorporated in the holding device 5 to 7 or in one of them distanced, against unjustified Access protected area can be arranged.

The function of such an identification device 11, 16, but in accordance with any, known from the prior art identification systems or access control systems can be, is based on a schematic block diagram in Fig. 2 with references to Fig. 1st explained in more detail.

The identification device 11, 16 has a Mikrocontroler 25 and a transmitting device 26th to build up the alternating electric field 24 in the desired Distance range for the identification device 11, 16 associated transmitting and / or receiving unit 19 on. This alternating field 24 can be continuous be radiated. But it is also possible that the alternating field 24 in dependence of certain Conditions, for example when a person the room or the building or a protection zone enters, or only activated in certain time windows becomes. Such state determination is for example possible via infrared sensors 27. Of course It is also possible that the construction of the Alternating field 24 intermittently in short periods of time consecutively and / or depending on the Brightness occurs.

Now, via the alternating field 24, a power supply in the transmitting and / or receiving unit 19 constructed so it can be a digital circuit or a computer 28 supplied with electrical energy become. In this case, from a memory 29 a there stored identification code 30 read out and via an antenna 31 as schematically by a Wavy line indicated identification code 30 for Identification device 11, 16 are sent.

For a higher security especially against to achieve the reading of the identification code 30, it is also possible that the computer 28 with a corresponding test circuit, e.g. an A / D converter, is provided and an associated software program is deposited, which characteristics of the energy transmitting alternating field 24 or this Alternating field 24 superimposed, schematically by a Wavy line indicated detection signals 32 analyzed and compared with values stored in memory 29 become.

If the comparison is positive, that is, the data is correct the alternating field 24 and the detection signal 32 correspond to the values stored in memory 29, only then will a dispatch of the identification code 30 performed via the antenna 31.

An interception or interception and Abspeichem the transmitted identification code 30 is for unauthorized Third, preferred by the relatively low, maximum Transmission distance of the identification code 30 between the transmitting and / or receiving units 18, 19, 20, almost impossible.

So that a listening or copying of the transmitted Identification codes 30 for unauthorized third parties under no circumstances is expedient, it is possible before sending of the identification code 30 this an encryption and / or decryption unit 33, 34 supply. The encryption and / or decryption units 33, 34 are preferably software-based through the Mikrocontroler 25 or the computer 28 formed. The identification code 30 is thereby encrypted with encryption keys prior to transmission and at the respective remote station by means of decrypted the same encryption key, which the original identification code 30 again is present. The encryption codes of the sending office or the decryption codes of the remote station doing different from send to send. This creates for a listener the Impression of a random code transmission, causing the Recording the transmitted data is pointless. The variable encryption or decryption of the Identification codes 30 by the encryption and / or Decryption units 33, 34 can thereby over the transmitting and / or receiving units 18, 19, 20 associated encryption or decryption algorithms will be realized. It is the same possible, the encryption or decryption codes in tabular form in memory units of the microcontroller 25 and the computer 28 to deposit and after every successful communication setup between the transmitting and / or receiving units 18, 19, 20 to increment the table pointers to an offset the table pointer positions of the send and / or Reception units 18, 19, 20 exclude. Such a "Handshake" to check the correct, complete data exchange between the sending and / or Receiving units 18, 19, 20 is also when using an encryption algorithm possible, by the same number of cycles in the Verschtüsurtgs- or decryption routine and thus a matching encryption and decryption to maintain or guarantee.

Such an encrypted or unencrypted Signal is now, for example, from the antenna 31 of the transmitting and / or receiving unit 18 and / or 20 of the identification device 11, 16 received, if necessary, decrypted and sent to a circuit or to the Mikrocontroler 25 of the identification device 11, 16 forwarded for evaluation.

The identification device 11, 16 is also a storage unit 35 in which preferably several Identification codes 36 may be stored, which a release of the release element 12, 13 or 15 cause assigned. By the interpretation of the appropriate Software or the circuitry Design in the identification device 11, 16 can then when the identification code 30 matches with at least one identification code 36 in the memory unit 35 activates the release element 12, 13 and 15, respectively become.

To make sure that this activation of the Release elements 12, 13 and 15 after the positive Identification only takes place if the authorized User 17 or the transmitting and / or receiving unit 19 in the smallest possible distance or in a distance range between 0 and 1000 mm, preferably 0 to 50 mm, from the transmitting and / or Receiving unit 18 and 20 is removed, are different Possible solutions.

So it is possible that the electromagnetic Alternating field 24 for energy transfer so weak is that the transmitted energy to the operation of the computer 28 of the transmitting and / or receiving unit 19 at User 17 is only sufficient when the two Transmitting and / or receiving units 18, 19 or 19, 20 in the desired, predeterminable distance or in the predeterminable range of distances.

On the other hand, it is also possible that the Range of the transmitting and / or receiving unit 19 information transmitted to the user 17 so it is slight that these are the identification device 11, 16 only then activate or be detected by these can if the distance or the distance range is complied with.

The distance or the distance range is preferred via appropriate input devices or Switch adjustable or predeterminable. Thus, the Safety device to individual requirements be adapted to the user and, for example also due to different forms of Firearms, for example, whether they are rifles or handguns, the different ones Dimensions and holding positions of the same invoice be worn. In addition, may also be different Storage means different Dimensions, operating positions or access points Be taken into account.

Of course, it is also possible working on any basis Distance measuring devices 37 the transmitting and / or Receiving units 18, 19, 20 assign or circuitry Devices or drainage technical Provide operations that are due to the received or emitted radiation whose strength, frequency response, Interference or the like the distance between them Transmitting and / or receiving units 18, 19 and 19,20 constantly or periodically determine. A preferred Possibility to determine the distance is e.g. the Monitoring the duration of the signals by reference the clock pulses of the computer 28 and the Mikrocontrolers 25 or due to the determination of the time differences starting from simultaneously initiated Clock pulses or of example in tabular form in the computer 28 or in Mikrocontroler 25 or in corresponding Storage units stored runtime values for the transmission and return of signals between the transmitting and / or receiving units 18, 19 and 19, 20. However, preference is given to distance measuring devices 37 used, which ultrasonic signals send out and based on the delay of the back transmitted ultrasonic signal the distance to the remote station or to the reflection surface via physical Calculate formulas.

The alternating field 24 can be such Have intensity that a sufficient energy supply the transmitting and / or receiving unit 19 at the user 17 outside the Entfemungsbereiches is given if this transmitting and / or receiving unit 19 does not have its own power supply and is designed in the manner of a transponder 38.

Such an embodiment is therefore advantageous because the space required for the computer 28 and the necessary electronic components at the user 17 can be kept extremely small and their integration - As excerpts in Fig. 4 can be seen - in from User 17 worn clothing and / or Jewelery 39, such as a ring, a Watch strap 40, a watch case 41, a belt buckle or the like., Is possible.

The use of transponders, in particular the transponder 38, also has the advantage that this principle only for use at low Distances to the remote site are suitable, so that a Foreign influence but also a foreign surveillance or reading the data during data transmission, if at all, very difficult is.

In order to read out the identification code 30, 36 exclude by means of small or smallest distances, it may prove necessary - before In particular, if several firearms 2 to 4 through a central identification device 11 is monitored - that in the range of each firearm 2 to 4 a own transmitting and / or receiving unit 18 is arranged is, so that the firearm 2 to 4 actually only removed can be when the user's hand 17 in close proximity to the respective firearm 2 to 4 or to the respective holding device 5 to 7 located.

This ensures that, even if the user 17 in the same room as the identification device 11, unintentional removal the firearm 2 to 4 by unauthorized persons or children not possible. In addition, a criminal can also be do not take the gun 2 to 4, as long as the authorized user 17 is not so close one of the firearms 2 to 4 is that he himself to use for his self-defense. Furthermore the user 17 can prevent the Firearm 2 to 4 is used against him when he only ensures that that part of the body on which the sending and / or Receiving unit 19 is attached, not in the predetermined distance to the firearm 2 to 4 passes. On the other hand, it is for the authorized user 17 only by holding one of the firearms 2 to 4 the possibility of immediate firearm use. This without manual switching operations on safety levers or safety valves of the firearm 2 to 4, since the backup automatically when reaching or Below the maximum transmission distance and after positive identification.

Of course it is in addition to the automatic Firearms Relief also possible, the conventional, known from the prior art mechanical, manually operated firearm fuses to use, ie in particular in parallel or serial connection to the automatic Involve firearms release.

While now in the preceding the function the identification device 11 mostly based on the Function of the release elements 12, 13 for the Firearms 2 to 4 for those in the fixtures 5-7 held guns 2 to 4 described It should be noted that a similar or similar Function or design of the identification device 11 also for the identification devices 16 used assigned to the firearm 2 and 4, respectively is.

In this case, the power supply system is preferred 22, in particular the accumulator 23, for operating the identification device 16 in the Gun 2 or 4 installed and it is alike the transmitting and / or receiving unit 19 of the user 17 suitable for the release element 15 of Locking device 14, for example for the Close the firearm 2 or 4, release or to lock. This locking device 14 must but not on the closure act, but can also act on a trigger 42 and this trigger release or block the firing.

In this embodiment, it is obvious also possible in the firearm 2 or 4 to arrange a transponder 38 and the power supply for the identification device 16 by the user 17 to let go or initiate. For example but it is also possible with two transponders 38 work, both in the field of identification device 11 as well as in the field of Firearm 2 and 4 and in the rooms in which such weapons are kept and on the body of the User 17, a separate transmitter to arrange for the alternating field 24, so that always, if the corresponding transponder 38 in the area This alternating field 24 are an actuation the release elements 12, 13 and 15 is possible.

In case of a self-power supply over accumulators 23 a constantly operational Identification device 16 against unauthorized To ensure firing, are preferred to the Holding devices 5, 6 and 7, respectively, loaders 43 arranged, which the accumulators 23 under utilization full capacity or full capacity Charge state received. The charging devices 43 can be either with the accumulators 23 in electrical contact or wirelessly over the electromagnetic alternating field 24 with electrical energy be supplied. The electrical supply takes place thereby automatically by the holding devices 5, 7 held firearms 2, 4. Thus stands after each removal of the firearms 2, 4 from the holding devices 5, 7 the entire duration of use, which depending on the capacity of the accumulators 23 and depending on the power consumption of the identification device 16 days may be available. Furthermore, there is no need for additional manual maintenance, such as. the manual contact of the identification device 16 with the charger 43, since the Charging automatically by resetting the Firearm 2, 4 in the respective holding device 5, 7th is initiated.

Fig. 3 shows an enlarged view of Firearm 2 according to Fig. 1, wherein already vorvorgehend already Parts described using the same reference numerals become.

This firearm 2 forms a handgun and is shown in rifle shape. Of course is the following description accordingly also adapts for the handgun shown in Fig. 1 valid.

The identification device 16 is from invisible on the outside in a slot-shaped recess 44 arranged in the rifle piston 45. In the case of one Own energy supply of the identification device 16 existing accumulators 23 are preferably in the recess 44 in the support region 46 of the rifle piston 45 invisible arranged and over the mostly elastic buffer member 47 of the rifle piston 45 accessible. Thus, in the case of defective accumulators 23 and in the presence of rest and / or Snap connections on the buffer element 47 and on Rifle butt 45 a quick replacement of the same possible. To the weight ratios of the firearm 2 is not detrimental to change, it may, however prove to be advantageous, the accumulators 23 in the Rifle shaft 48 to integrate, reducing the balance the firearm 2 or not, hardly changed becomes.

The printed circuit board of the arithmetic unit of the identification device 16, in particular formed by one Microcontroller 25 with all peripheral modules, is preferably also in the recess 44th the rifle piston 45 is arranged.

The locking device 14, which is preferred by an electrically actuated tie rod magnet is formed, is preferred in the range of the trigger 42 arranged. The release element 15 can be moved by the tie rod magnet and thus the Enable or disable fume 42. To high blocking forces at the same time low unlocking forces and thus to achieve low electrical energy consumption, It is possible to use any of the prior art known pawls and / or latch mechanisms use.

Instead of the action of the locking device 14 on the withdrawal 42, it is also possible the movement of a shutter 49 of the firearm 2 on the Verriegefungsvorrichtung 14 release or to block and thus allow a firing or to prevent.

Depending on the preset or maximum desired Distance between the transmitting and / or receiving unit 19 of the user 17 and the send and / or Receiving unit 20 - as indicated by a dimension arrow in Figs. 3 and 4 shown - and depending on the dimensions the firearm 2, the arrangement of the transmitting and / or receiving unit 20 be different, by maximum transmission distances of a few Centimeters to be able to create an application the firearm 2 against the authorized user 17 already because of the size dimensions of the Gun 2 is excluded. For the embodiment the transmitting and / or receiving unit 19 in or on a wristwatch, which is usually on left wrist are different Arrangement options advantageous, which a short Distance between the assigned send and / or Reception units 19, 20 allow. used the user 17 the left hand for the triggering the firearm 2 and is the wristwatch with the transmitting and / or receiving unit 19 on the left Wrist, so is the transmitting and / or receiving unit 20 preferably in a tapered region 50 of Rifle butt 45 in the weft direction immediately before arranged the trigger 42, since this area 50 at Sighting the target and using the firearm 2 is enclosed by the palm and thus a comparatively short distance is present.

The user 17 uses a finger of the right hand for the operation of the trigger 42, so is the left hand of the user 17 with the send and / or Receiving unit 19 for supporting the rifle stock 48. In this case, the transmission and / or receiving unit 20 for achieving a the smallest possible distance - as in dashed lines shown - in the rifle stock 48 of the firearm 2.

In Fig. 4 are various arrangement options the transmitting and / or receiving unit 19 for the embodiment of a wristwatch shown.

Is a battery-free transmitting and / or Receiving unit 19, in particular a transponder 38, in use, this may possibly also interchangeably inserted into the watch strap 40 be since currently used transponder 38 dimensions of a few millimeters. At a Own energy supply of the transmitting and / or receiving unit 19 it is advantageous, this - as in dot-dashed Lines shown - in the watch case 41 to integrate and the electrical energy supply over to realize the button cell of the wristwatch.

Furthermore, switching elements 51 on the Wristwatch be arranged, which the process or the state of the transmitting and / or receiving unit 19 or the entire safety device 1 influence can.

In Fig. 5 is one in comparison to Fig. 1 other Embodiment variant of the holding device 7 for the Firearm 4, in particular formed by a handgun 52, shown. Here is only one run 53 the handgun 52 held by the holding device 7 and at least one holding part 54, in particular one Handle 55, freely accessible.

This holding device 7 is on a wall 56th fixed or walled in the wall 56 such that a front plate 57 of the holding device 7 with the wall 56 planar closes and only one opening 58th for the barrel 53 of the firearm 4 can be seen.

A receptacle 59 of the holding device 7 is thereby formed such that the barrel 53 received and at least partially enclosed can. A removal of the firearm 4 from the holding device 7 is depending on the position of a locking device 60, 61, 62 allows or prevents.

Each of the locking devices exemplified 60 to 62 can be alone or in combination with at least one further locking device 60 to 62 the removal of the firearm 4 allow or prevent from the holding device 7, whereby the locking devices 60 to 62 can be used optionally.

The locking devices 60, 61 are in Area arranged around the receptacle 59 and via electromagnetic Drive elements 63, 64 may lock pin 65, 66 in or out of the interior of the tubular Recording 59 to be moved.

For example, is the locking pin 65 in the extended position and is a firearm. 4 inserted into the receptacle 59, so this can Locking pin 65, for example, a target device 67th behind in the mouth area of the barrel 53 and such a withdrawal of the firearm 4 from the holding device 7 prevent.

For example, is the locking pin 66 of the locking device 61 in extended Position, so engages this in a recess 68 or Notch on the barrel 53 and thus prevents one Removal of the firearm 4 from the holding device 7th

Furthermore, it is as with the locking device 62, also possible, a locking pin 69 between a trigger guard 70 and the Trigger 42 drivable by a drive element 71 therethrough to lead and so a removal of the firearm 4 to prevent the holding device 7. Likewise It is possible, as shown in dotted lines, the Locking pin 69 the area between the trigger 42nd and assign the handle 55 to the handgun 52, on the one hand the removal of the handgun 52 is regulated and on the other hand, the locking pin 69 in Trap of a handgun 52 without checking the entitled firing as a mechanical lock against actuation of the trigger 42 at salary Handgun 52 is used.

In the respective locked position of the locking pin 65, 66, 69 - as shown in Fig. 5 - are the Drive elements 63, 64, 71 in each case in the deactivated state, that is, without electrical energy consumption. The in Fig. 5 illustrated idle state of the locking devices 60 to 62 is maintained by means of spring forces.

If the authorized user can access the transmission and / or receiving unit 19 in the predetermined Distance range to the holding device 7, so are the received by the transmitting and / or receiving unit 18 Identity data of the user to the example decentralized, not shown in Fig. 5 Identification device 11 forwarded and after successful, positive identity verification will be from the identification device 11 the locking devices 60 to 62 subjected to electrical energy. Thereby be the locking pins 65, 66, 69 in the retracted Position offset and for the authorized user is a removal of the firearm 4 from the holding device 7 possible.

After removal of the firearm 4 can the locking device 60 to 62 again in the Hibernate be offset.

Whether now a firearm 4 in the fixture 7 is held or removed from the holding device 7 is, by any, preferably in the field the opening 58, arranged sensors 72 are determined and the identification device 11 as control information serve. When inserting the Gun 2 in the holding device 7 can therefore the locking pins 65, 66, 69 in the retracted position be offset, creating an unhindered insertion of the barrel 53 in the receptacle 59 allows becomes. The fully inserted firearm 4 is subsequently by means of at least one of the locking devices 60 to 62 locked in the respective position.

Including the sensor 72, which for example by optical light barriers, Hall sensors, Limit switch or other from the Prior art known donors may be formed, is also the construction of a time recording system with Logging the removal of the firearm 4 possible. For this purpose, the sensor 72 with the identification device 11 line connected and a timer device the same, for example, formed by a the microcontroller 25 associated timer module, provides the microcontroller 25 with the time and / or date information to disposal. The thus determinable Withdrawal times, removal periods and withdrawal days the firearm 4 from the holding device 7 are stored by the identification device 11 and Optionally, via an output device, such as. a display, visualized or via a Printer can be output in paper form.

Thus, a complete, unalterable registration the firearm removal, whereby an objective tool for criminal investigation Actions or to harden an alibi is available.

Furthermore, preference is given to the identification device 16 a registration of the firing time possible and a transfer of this data possible to the output device, with which each took place Fee is traceable.

Of course, the above is described Recording system also shown in Fig. 1 Holding devices 5, 6 with the firearms 2, 3 applicable.

To the holding device 7 universal for various Types or sizes of handguns 52 it is possible, in particular the Admission 59 in cross section or in the Längserstrekkung changeable form and the position of the locking device 60,61,62 in relation to the recording 59 to make changeable.

With the previously described holding device 7 is compared to the holder or storage the firearm 4 in a receiving box. 8 a much faster availability of the firearm 4 possible. The ready to handle, against unauthorized removal secured firearm 4 is particularly in the case of threat for the authorized user of significant Advantage. The automatic unlocking of the Firearm 2 of the holding device 7, as shown in FIG. 5, also increases the surprise effect for the attacker, giving extra benefits to the defending ones Users arise. By eliminating the manual unlocking and locking the gun 2 is besides the high level of safety, especially towards children, a particularly comfortable holding device 7 for reached the firearm 4.

Notwithstanding the illustrated embodiment can the holding device 7 of FIG. 5 also under a desk, near the bed, in a vehicle or other, if necessary, a quick one Availability of the firearm requiring bodies at the same time high abuse security and unhindered Accessibility be arranged.

In Fig. 6, the user 17 of the safety device 1 in the form of a security officer 73 or policemen shown. This is wearing a holster 74 with the handgun 52 inserted therein.

The holster 74 for receiving the Handgun 52 is usually made of hard plastic formed and at one around the body of the security guard 73 looped strap 75 attached. Possibly is opposite to the support belt 75 Front end region of the holster 74 a Connecting device 76, in particular in the form of a around the thigh of the security officer 73 looped band 77, arranged. Thus, the Holster74 with the body of the security guard 73 tear-proof without impairing the wearing comfort connected.

Is the handgun 52 in the held by the holster 74 position, so is at least the barrel 53 and the trigger 42 substantially from the receptacle 78 forming side walls of the holster 74 enclosed. The holding part 54 the handgun 52 is not covered or not surrounded by parts of the pistol holster 74 and thus always at hand.

Preferably in a receiving area 79 for the handgun 52 on the holster 74 of the Recording 78 spatially separated, is the identification device 11 including all required peripheral modules arranged. The transmitting and / or receiving unit 18, in particular in the form of a transmitting and / or Receiver coil 80, is at the hip area the security officer 73 located 75 girth arranged and preferred with the identification device 11 line-connected. The transmitting and / or receiving unit 18 or the transmitting and / or receiving coil 80 can be camouflaged as a fastening rivet between executed the gun holster 74 and the support belt 75 be, whereby the presence of the invention Safety device 1 not visible is.

The locking device 62 is preferred in the area of the trigger 42 of the handgun 52 in the receptacle 78 of the holster 74 and preferably with the identification device 11 conductively connected. Thus, when driving the drive element 71 of the locking device 62nd from the identification device 11 of the locking pin Take 69 different positions. In the locked position of the locking pin 69 protrudes this preferred between the trigger guard 70 and the handle 55 or the barrel 53 of the handgun 52 through. The drive element 71 facing away from Stimendbereich the locking pin 69 is preferably a receiving socket for the stable storage of the end area the locking pin 69 when taking the locking position assigned. At the receiving socket or mounting hole opposite side wall of the holster 74 is the one movement of the locking pin 69 enabling drive element 71 on the preferred made of hard plastic sidewall of the Holster fastened or positively with this connected.

The mounted on both Stimendbereichen Lock pin 69 and the hard-shell holster 74 thus ensure a high tear-resistance or tear resistance of the handgun 52 the holster 74.

The safe collection state of the handgun 52 can only after positive identification of the authorized security officer 73 become. For this purpose, the security officer 73 means assigned to the transmitting and / or receiving unit 19 Identify identification code 30. The transmission and / or receiving unit 19 may be for this purpose camouflaged as a wristwatch, preferably on that wrist attached, which the firing or removal hand of security guard 73.

Security Officer 73 takes hold 55 the handgun 52, so it inevitably comes as a result to reach or fall below the preferably pre-settable distance range between the transmitting and / or receiving unit 19 and the transmitting and / or receiving unit 18. Thereafter, from the identification device 11, the evaluation of received identification codes 30 made and after a positive identity check this controls the Locking device 62, whereby the locking pin 69 is placed in the unlocked position and a Immediate removal of the handgun 52 possible is. At the same time, after positive identification Security Guard 73 through the identification device 16 lifted the weft tax safeguard become, thereby for the legitimate security officer 73 an immediate firing is possible.

Is the transmitting and / or receiving unit located 19 outside the set distance range, so the handgun 55 becomes automatic again locked with the holster 74 and optionally the weft delivery fuse activated again.

The distance between the transmission and / or or receiving unit 19 and the transmitting and / or Receiving unit 18 is preferably set such that with drooping or strolling arms Security Guard 73, so when the Transmitting and / or receiving unit 19 in the thigh area There is no release of the handgun 52 takes place. However, the security guard seizes 73 the handgun 52, so is the send and / or Receiving unit 19 with the identification code 30 in the hip area, so in the immediate distance to Transmitting and / or receiving unit 18 on the carrying belt 75, whereby it is particularly advantageous, a corresponding Distance of a few centimeters as the default value for the identification device 11, to effect a repeal of the removal safeguard to be able to.

If necessary, from the holster 74 concealed, inconspicuous switching elements arranged, which in emergency situations a manual unlocking allow the handgun 52.

A removal of the handgun 52 from the holster 74 used in the public service Security officials 73 by unauthorized third parties is thus excluded.

In Fig. 7 is another embodiment of the holster 74 with the safety device 1 shown in side view, with vorvorgehend already mentioned parts the same reference numerals used become.

In the state held by the holster 74 the handgun 52 is the barrel 53 of the same also in the recording 78 of the holster 74. However, here is the handle 55 of the handgun 52 of a closing device 81, in particular formed by a closure flap 82, coverable, thereby seizing and removing the Gun 52 allows or prevents. This is the closure device 81 with one end 83 permanently connected to a side wall of the holster 74 or articulated. Another end 84 of the Closing device 81 is via a coupling device 85 with another side wall of the holster 74 connected. This coupling device 85 gets through this side wall of the holster 74 protruding and from the closing device 81 protruding locking mandrel 86 is formed. In the in the Recording 78 projecting end portion of the locking mandrel 86th is a corresponding to the cross section of the locking pin 69 and approximately at right angles to the direction of penetration the sidewall extending breakthrough arranged. The locking pin 69 also in the recording 78 arranged locking device 62nd is controlled by the identification device 11 in these or from this breakthrough of the locking mandrel 86 at the closing device 81 movable,

Detects the identification device 11 a from the authorized user 17 intended removal the firearm 52 from the holster 74, so will the coupling device 85 is deactivated or the locking pin 69 moved from the breakthrough of the locking dome 86, whereby a pivoting of the closing device 81 and unhindered removal of the Handgun 52 from the holster 74 possible is.

The closing device 81 or, the closure bib 82 is in particular of little dimensional stability Materials such as e.g. Leather, formed.

The transmitting and / or receiving unit 18 is preferably in the area of the handle 55 on the holster 74 arranged and arranged with the in the receptacle 78 Identification device 11 preferably conductively connected.

Of course it is instead of the mentioned Coupling device 85 for automatic release or locking the closing device 81 also possible, any known in the art Insert coupling devices. So it is for better centering or assignment of the blocking dome 86 with the locking pin 69 also possible, the locking pin 69 fork-shaped and this one a cross-sectional weakening locking mandrel 86 assign.

Furthermore, at the holster 74 sensors or switch may be arranged, which with the identification device 11 are connected and information with regard to drawn or inserted Handgun 52 deliver, creating an unhindered Resuming and locking the handgun 52 are automated after pulling them can.

The same applies to that shown in Fig. 1 Holding devices 5, 6, 7.

It is also possible to use the safety device 1 to assign an alarm and / or signaling device, which on reception of the system unknown and thus the removal of firearms refusing and / or not permitting the firing Identification codes 30 is activated.

Furthermore, it is independent or in combination with the described type of identification also possible, other distinctive identifiers, such as. the fingerprint, the handwriting, the Iris construction, the face or hand shape or the voice for authorization verification.

Furthermore, it may prove advantageous the safety device 1, a timing device to assign, with which the safety device 1 during the service, e.g. a security officer 73 is active and at the other times, e.g. during the night hours to the exclusion of Misuse e.g. by children a release of the safety device 1 is prevented.

In Fig. 8 is another embodiment of a Holding device 7 partially in phantom for a firearm 4, in particular a handgun 52, shown. This holding device 7 comprises a receptacle 59, for example, a cut-resistant, high-resistance and hard material, for example hardened steel. In this is a longitudinal guide 87 arranged for the barrel 53 of the firearm 4. The longitudinal guide 87 may have a cross-sectional dimension perpendicular to their length, which is approximately corresponds to the cross-sectional circumference of the barrel 53, or be arranged so that the barrel 53 something from the Longitudinal guide 87 protrudes the amount. The length of the Longitudinal guide 87 may be sized so that the handle 55 of the firearm 4 for the user 17 to capture the firearm 4 is freely accessible. The locking device 62 for fixing and holding the Firearm 4 in the receptacle 59 comprises one in one Longitudinal slot 88 arranged guide carriage 89, wherein the longitudinal slot 88 parallel to the longitudinal guide 87, but at a corresponding distance from the side, is arranged in the guide carriage 89.

On the guide carriage 89 is a Pivoting axis 90 arranged on which pivot arms 91 of a locking bracket 92 of the holding device 7 are mounted rotatably or pivotally.

A height distance 93 of the pivot axis 90 above an underside of the guide carriage 89 less than a guide depth 94 of the longitudinal guide 87. In a longitudinal distance 95 between the Swivel arms 91 corresponding distance are in the from the firearm 4 averted side cheek 96th the receptacle 59 openings 97 arranged. The Cross-sectional dimensions of these openings 97 are as well as their depth so dimensioned that in the area of this Openings 97, the pivot arms 91 to the Swivel axes 90 from the in full lines in the in dashed lines shown position accordingly an arrow 98 can be pivoted.

A width 99 of the locking bracket 92 is so that it protrudes so far beyond the firearm 4, that this upwards not from the longitudinal guide 87 can be removed. At the same time the locking bracket 92 at its from the longitudinal guide 87 turned away towards the end Swivel axes 90 directed projection, the so far down that it is in the longitudinal guide 87th inserted firearm 4 whose from the longitudinal guide 87 averted front end 100 at least partially surmounted or overlapped.

Shall now use the firearm when in the Longitudinal guide 87 is located and the locking bracket 92 in the locked - drawn in full lines - Position is to be taken, will be first the guide carriage 89 with the drive element 71, for example, formed by an electromagnet with Schubanker, in the longitudinal direction of the longitudinal slot 88 so far moved that the pivot arms 91 in the area the openings 97 come to rest. By a in the Range of pivot axes 90 provided biasing drive, For example, a torsion spring arrangement - Not shown -, the locking bracket 92 in the open position shown in dashed lines jump up, or this is when removing or tearing out the firearm 4 swung laterally, so that the firearm 4 up and back be removed from the holding device 7 can.

The advantage of such a solution is that that massive metal parts as a locking bracket 92nd can be used and only low powers with the drive element 71 for longitudinal displacement apply are to an opening of the holding device. 7 to enable. At the same time are the joint areas the locking bracket 92 by the special arrangement the pivot axes 90 from destruction Well protected from the outside, so a massive education and thus also a high protective effect in the Holding the firearm 4 achieved in the holding device 7 can be.

The insertion of the firearm 4 takes place at pivoted up locking bracket 92 through the Inserting into the longitudinal guide 87, whereupon the locking bracket 92 manually or depending on appropriate Sensors that detect the presence of Firearm 4 notice, via an additional drive pivoted into his drawn in full lines position and thereafter with the drive element 71 in FIG his locked position is moved, in which the Swivel arms 91 within the longitudinal slot 88 next the breakthroughs 97 are located, so a Aufzwängen of the locking bracket 92 for abusive Remove the firearm 4, if any, only by destruction of the holding device 7 is possible.

Reaches the holding force of the drive element 71 not to the firearm 4 and the locking bracket 92 in the closed position even at high Force application to the handle 55 of the firearm 4, can be an additional electrically operated, for example electromechanically designed, locking device or provided a locking element be, with which, for example, the guide carriage 89 in the longitudinal slot 88 in its closed position is fixed. For this electromechanical lock can retractable pins, notches, self-locking screw drive or for example Locking pin 69, as shown schematically in Figure 8 shown in accordance with the comments on Fig. 5th can be used.

The safety device according to the invention 1 is in accordance with the above explanations in can be used in a wide variety of operating modes. Hereinafter should be single advantageous procedures for the identification and operation of the safety device 1 are listed:

So it is when using the invention Security device 1 possible, a multiple identification for example, run in such a way that when entering a room, the face shape, a hand contour or a fingerprint or similar to the coarse identification is used and only if this identification is positive and upon delivery of the correct identification code 30 the identification device 11, 16, one of Firearms 2 to 4 is released.

It is also possible to use access control systems, the movement of one to use the firearms 2 to 4 authorized person in a building or monitor on a site with the identification devices 11, 16 to couple.

This would mean that a release of the Gun 2 to 4 only using the identification code 30, 36 for the identification device 11 insufficient to be in possession of the firearm 2 to 4 to arrive.

Of course it is also possible this Identification at the same time or at different intervals from the firearm 2 to 4, so that the release of the firearm 2 to 4 in one or more stages can be consecutive.

Furthermore, the operation of the locking device 9, 10; 14; 60; 61; 62 in different Way possible. This is the case, for example, when sharing the locking device 9, 10; 14; 60; 61; 62 possible, only a very short time for removal provide the firearm 2 to 4 and that after this period, the firearm 2 to 4 is immediately locked again. But it is also possible that over the period of time over which the user 17, in the field of identification device 11, 16 is located the locking device 9, 10; 14; 60; 61; 62 open continuously remains.

Of course it is also possible, the Identification before release of firearm 2 to 4 in more than two stages, so that different Criteria must be met before the release via the identification code 30 in accordance great approach of the user 17 to the firearm 2 to 4 takes place. So it is possible, among other things, that another unlocking member 101, e.g. a switching element or a sensor surface with the identification device 11 is connected and only if this additional unlocking member 101 during a positive Identification via the identification device 11 due to a small distance between the Transmitting and / or receiving units 18 to 20 given is, the locking device 9, 10, 14, 60 to 62 released becomes. Such unlocking member 101, which, for example, by a push button switch a light barrier or the like may be formed can, causes the release by the locking devices 9, 10, 14, 60 to 62 even if for example, a handshake more often in a position to the firearm 2 to 4, the one release due to the removal of the send and / or Reception units 18 to 20 allow would only then be released if from the authorized user at the same time this release organ 101 is operated.

Similarly, the onset of the Firearm 2 to 4 semi-automatic, manual or fully automatic possible by either the approach the firearm 2 to 4 to the holding device 5 to 7 recognized and accordingly the holding device. 5 to 7 are brought into an operating state at the insertion of the gun 2 to 4 is possible.

These Locking devices 214 and their associated Release elements 215 are each in the Cassettes 207 and receptacles 208 installed, so that from the outside as possible for an experienced Viewers are not recognizable.

While the identification device 211 for Control of all previously mentioned, the locking devices 209, 210 and 214 assigned Release elements 212, 213 and 215 may be formed can, it is also possible in an advantageous manner that the in the mobile or portable holding and / or storage facilities 205 arranged release elements 215 own identification device 216 is assigned.

The connection between the identification device 211 and a user 217 is done now wirelessly connected to the identification device 211 Transmitter and / or receiver units 218 and a user-carried transmitting and / or receiving unit 219. Is in or on the cassette 207 or in or on the receptacle 208 itself an identification device 216 arranged so this can be one further transmitting and / or receiving unit 220 for Exchange of identification data and / or reception of electrical power.

When using a single, mostly central, the authority of a person verifying identification device 211, this is preferred with the Locking devices 209, 210 for controlling the Removal possibility of the objects 202 from the stationary holding and / or storage facilities 205 line connected and with the locking device 214 for controlling the accessibility on the objects 202 in the mobile holding and / or Storage facilities 205 wireless, for example, via radio, connected.

Each of the identification devices 211 or 216 is either via a line 221 with a power system 222, for example accumulators 223, batteries or a public power grid wired or wireless over an alternating electric field 224 from the outside with energy provided. The identification device 211 or 216 can either be in the holding and storage facilities 205 installed or distanced in one of them, protected against unauthorized access area be arranged.

With the device 201 according to the invention can be any objects 202, such as valuables, dangerous objects or secret data be secured. Depending on the training or Dimension of the holding and / or storage device 205 securities, such as shares, Promissory notes, ect., Or works of art, such as paintings, etc., or jewelry, such as necklaces, Watches, rings, etc., or valuable collections, Cash or otherwise, secured against unauthorized removal become. Moreover, it goes without saying possible, databases or data carriers by means of To secure the device according to the invention, so the Establishment 201 Data processing equipment or computer networks assign and thus the insight into relevant Data or modification of important data to control.

In order to read out the identification code 30, 36 - Fig. 2 - by means of small or smallest distances it may prove necessary - especially if several holding and / or storage facilities 205, so safes 206, lockers a locker, cassettes 207 and / or Receptacle 208, by a central identification device 211 be monitored - that in the area each holding and / or storage device 205 a separate transmitting and / or receiving unit 218, 220 is arranged, so that the respective object 202, ie the valuable object, the data carrier 203 and / or actually extract the document 204 only can be when the user's hand 217 in the immediate vicinity of the respective object 202 or to the holding and / or storage device 205 is located.

This ensures that - even if the user 217 in the same room as the identification device 211 - unintentional removal protected object 202 by Unauthorized, criminals or children is not possible. About that In addition, even a criminal or thief can dangerous and / or life-threatening object 202, such as a knife, bat and stabbing weapons, Firearms, clubs or the like, do not bring as long as the authorized user 217 is not so close one of the items 202 is that he himself to use his self-defense. Furthermore the user 217 can prevent the threatening Object 202 is used against him if he only ensures that that part of the body is on the the transmitting and / or receiving unit 219 is attached, not in the predetermined distance to the secured Object 202 arrives. On the other hand exists for the legitimate User 217 the immediate removal option of the object secured for unauthorized persons 202. This is without manual shifts on safety levers or safety gate valves without manual Unlocking operations with locking devices and without complicated Setting activities on code locks possible, because the arming automatically when reaching or undershooting the maximum transmission distance and after positive identification.

Of course, in addition to the invention, automatic unlock and / or Locking system also possible, the conventional, off known in the art mechanical, manual actuatable unlocking and / or locking devices, such as. Locks, use, so in particular in parallel or serial operative connection to automatic safety device.

While now in the previous function the identification device 211 mostly on the basis of stationary holding and / or storage device 205, it should be noted that a similar or similar function or training of Identification device 211 also for the identification devices 216 is used, which is the mobile Holding and / or storage facilities 205 assigned is.

In this case, the power supply system is preferred 222, in particular the accumulator 23, for operating the identification device 216 in FIG the cassette 207 and / or in the receptacle 208th built-in, and it is equally the transmitting and / or Receiving unit 219 of the user 217 suitable for the release element 215 of the locking device 214, for example, for the lid or the door the mobile holding and / or storage device 205, release or block. This locking device 214 does not have to be on the lid or the Door act, but can also directly on the object 202 act and release this for removal or lock.

The holding and / or storage device 205 can therefore be designed such that a complete enclosure of the object to be protected 202 is avoided or the object to be protected 202 only with the locking device 209, 210; 214 interacts and with this movement connected is. This is especially for presentation purposes of valuables, such as jewelry, watches or watches Like., Advantageous, since these valuables on the one hand before unauthorized Removal are protected and still one Assessment or a selection is possible. Here is the object to be secured 202 of a Retainer, e.g. a headband, on a presentation rack secured, the locking device 209, 210; 214 and / or the identification device 211, 216 with the holding member in operative connection stands. The protection of valuables according to the invention and / or data carriers 203 or data processing systems, like portable computers, stationary Computer equipment and / or computer networks especially for field staff with sales and / or presentation activity of particular Advantage as the laborious and time-consuming manual Lock and unlock the valuables or the manual grant or denial of access rights There are no significant databases.

In addition, thanks to the automatic Barrier with the return of the object 202 to the appropriate position the automatic Abolition of access rights to databases the distance of the authorized user 217 from being secured Item 202 or database or from the respective transmitting and / or receiving unit 218, 220 occur and thus unwanted access due Carelessness or forgetfulness be excluded.

Of course it is also possible in the Holding and / or storage facilities 205 and / or in the items to be secured 202 a Transponder 38 - Fig. 2 - to arrange and the power supply for the identification device 216 from User 217 to let go or initiate. For example but it is also possible with several Transponders 38 work, both in the field the identification device 211 as well as in the area the holding and / or storage device 205 and in the rooms in which worth protecting Items 202 are kept or accessed important data is possible and on the body of the authorized user 217, one of them separate To arrange transmission apparatus for the alternating field 224, so whenever the appropriate Transponder 38 in the range of this radiated coded or unique alternating field 224, an actuation of the release elements 212, 213 or 215 is possible.

In case of a self-power supply over accumulators 223 a constantly operational Identification device 211, 216 to ensure are the unmobilen and / or also stationary Holding and / or Storage Devices 205 Chargers 243 assigned to the accumulators 223 taking advantage of the total capacity charge or maintain the full charge state. The charging devices 243 can either with the Accumulators 223 are in electrical contact or wirelessly via the alternating electromagnetic field 224 be supplied with electrical energy. The electric Supply or charging of accumulators 223 takes place automatically whenever the holding and / or storage devices 205 located at the respective charging station. Thus stands for every use of the portable holding and / or storage device 205 the total useful life, which depending on the capacity of the accumulators 223 and each according to energy consumption of the identification device 216 days may be available. Furthermore, eliminates additional manual maintenance, such. B. the manual contacting of the identification device 216 with the charger 243, since the charging process automatically by resetting the object 202 and / or the Hatte- and / or storage device 205 is initiated.

Fig. 14 shows an enlarged view of Receiving container 208 and the cassette 207 according to Fig. 13, wherein for previously described already Parts same reference numerals are used.

The identification device 216 is from invisible on the outside in a slot-shaped recess 244 in a container wall 245, in the container bottom or arranged in the container lid. The in the case of a self-power supply the identification device 216 existing accumulators 223 are also preferred Invisible arranged in the recess 244 and accessible via a closure lid 246 from the outside. Thus, in the case of defective accumulators 223 and in the presence of detent and / or snap connections on the closure lid 246 and on the container wall 245 a rapid exchange of the same possible.

The printed circuit board of the arithmetic unit of the identification device 216, in particular formed by a Microcontroller 225 with all peripheral modules, is preferably also in the recess 244 arranged.

The locking device 214, which is preferred by an electrically actuated tie rod magnet is formed, is preferred in the field of Dekkels of the receiving container 208. The release element 215 can be moved by the tie rod magnet and thus an increase or a swing allow or deny the lid. To high locking forces with low unlocking forces and thus low electrical energy consumption To achieve it is possible to choose any Pawls known in the art and / or Insert locking mechanisms.

Instead of the action of the locking device 214 on the closure of the receptacle 208, it is also possible the movement of the release element 215 on the joint arrangement between to act on the lid and the container bottom and to allow an opening of the receptacle 208 or to prevent.

Depending on the preset or maximum desired Distance between the transmitting and / or receiving unit 219 of the user 217 - Fig. 13 - and the Transmitting and / or receiving unit 220 - as by a Maßpfeil in Figs. 14 and 15 shown - and each according to the dimensions of the receptacle 208 can the arrangement of the transmitting and / or receiving unit 220 be different to maximum transmission distances realize by a few centimeters to be able to. For the embodiment of the transmitting and / or Receiving unit 219 in or on a wristwatch, which usually on the left wrist is worn, are various arrangement options advantageous, which is a short distance between the associated transmitting and / or receiving units 219, 220 allow. Uses the user 217 - Fig. 13 - The left hand for the opening of the receptacle 208 and is the wristwatch with the Transmitter and / or receiver unit 219 on the left wrist, such is the transmitting and / or receiving unit 220 preferably in the range of a handle for pivoting arranged the lid, as this at a Opening intent of the receptacle 208 of the Hand of an authorized user to be taken must and thus forcibly a comparatively short Distance is present.

In the respective locked position of the release element 15 - as shown in Fig. 14 - are the Drive elements each in the deactivated state, i. without electrical energy consumption. The illustrated in Fig. 14 Hibernation of the locking device 214 is maintained by means of spring forces.

Does the authorized user 217 get to the Transmitting and / or receiving unit 219 in the predetermined Distance range to the receptacle 208, so are those of the transmitting and / or receiving unit 220 received identity data of the user 217 forwarded to the identification device 216 and after successful, positive identity check is made by the identification device 216, the locking device 214 applied with electrical energy. Thereby the release element 215 is retracted into the Position offset and for the authorized user 217 is a removal of the objects 202 from the Receptacle 208 possible.

After removal of the items 202 can the locking device 214 again in the Sleep mode can be set or activated.

Whether an object 202, for example a data carrier 203, stored in the receptacle 208 is or removed from the receptacle 208, can be detected by any sensors and the Identification device 216 as control information serve. When returning the object 202 in The receptacle 208 can therefore the release element 215 moved into the retracted position and the lid, e.g. by spring force automatically jump up, creating a comfortable obstruction or automatic protection of the object 202 is enabled.

Including the sensor, which for example through optical photoelectric sensors, Hall sensors, Endlagenschafter or other from the state The art known donors may be formed is further the construction of a time recording system with logging the removal of the objects 202 possible. This is the sensor with the identification device 216 line connected and a timer device the same, for example, formed by a the microcontroller 225 associated timer module, provides the microcontroller 225 the time and / or Date information available. The thus determinable Withdrawal times, withdrawal periods or withdrawal days the objects 202 from the receptacle 208 are from the identification device 216 stored and can optionally have a Output device, such as e.g. a display, visualized or via a printer in paper form become.

Thus, a complete, unalterable registration the object withdrawal, whereby an objective tool for clarifying discrepancies or for billing purposes stands.

Of course, the above is described Recording system and locking system also to all shown in Fig. 13 Holding and / or storage facilities 205 for items 202 applicable.

In Figs. 15 and 16 are further different Arrangement possibilities of the transmitting and / or receiving unit 219 for the embodiment of a wristwatch shown, with the space requirement for the calculator and the necessary electronic components at the user 217 can be kept extremely small and their Integration with garment worn by user 217 and / or jewelry 239, such as a watch band 240, a watch case 241, a Ring 242, a belt buckle or the like, simple is possible.

Is this a battery-free transmitting and / or Receiving unit 219, in particular a Transponder 238, in use, so this may if necessary also replaceable in the watch band 240 be inserted, since currently used transponder 238 have dimensions of a few millimeters. In the case of a separate energy supply, the transmission and / or Receiving unit 219 it is advantageous to this - as shown in dotted lines - in the watch case 241 integrate and the electrical energy supply to realize via the button cell of the wristwatch.

Furthermore, switching elements 247 on the Wristwatch be arranged, which the process or the state of the transmitting and / or receiving unit 219 or the entire device 201.

In Fig. 17, the user 217 of the device 201 shown. This carries a mobile holding and / or Storage device 205 with it inserted or valuables held on it and / or Weapons.

The holding and / or storage device 205 for receiving the articles 202 is usually made of hard plastic and preferably on wrapped around the body of the user 217 Carrying strap 248 attached. If necessary, at the the Traggurt 248 opposite Stirnendbereich the holding and / or storage device 205 a Connecting device 249, in particular in the form one wrapped around the thigh of the user 217 Bandes 250, arranged. Thus, the Holding and / or storage device 205 or the portable receptacle 208 with the body of the User 217 without affecting the wearing comfort tamper-proof connected.

The object 202 to be secured is thereby by the holding and / or storage device 205 invisible or visible from transparent plastic enclosed or e.g. for presentation purposes only partially covered.

Furthermore, it is possible for the device 201 a Assign alarm and / or signaling device, which on reception of the system unknown and thus the removal of items 202 deniedder Identification codes 230 is activated.

Furthermore, it is independent or in combination with the described type of identification also possible, other distinctive identifiers, such as. the fingerprint, the handwriting, the Iris construction, the face or hand shape or the voice for authorization verification.

Furthermore, it may prove advantageous to associate with the device 201 a timing device, with which the device 201 during working hours e.g. a person in the field, one Seller or a computer specialist and at other times, e.g. during the Night hours to prevent abuse, e.g. by thieves, spies or children lifting the Safety device is completely excluded.

The device 201 according to the invention is corresponding the above explanations in different Operating modes operable. Hereinafter are single advantageous procedures for the Identification and operation of the device 201 are listed become:

So it is when using the invention Facility 201 possible, a multiple identification to do this, for example, that when entering a room, the face shape, a Hand contour or a fingerprint or similar to Rough identification is used and only if This identification is positive and on delivery the correct identification code 230 to the identification device 211, 216, one of the secured items 202 is released.

It is also possible to use access control systems, the movement of one for use or removal of the items 202 entitled person in a building or monitor on a site with the Identification devices 211, 216 to couple.

This would mean that a release of the Items 202 using only the identification code 230 for the identification device 211, 216 is insufficient to be in possession of the items 202 to arrive or use this or operate can.

Of course it is also possible this Identification at different distances to the object 202 make, so that the release of the Object 202 in one or more stages successively can be done.

Furthermore, the operation of the locking device 209, 210; 214 in different Way possible. This is the case, for example, when sharing the locking device 209, 210; 214 possible, only a very short time to remove the Object 202 provide and that after expiration this period of time the item 202 immediately is locked. But it is also possible that over the Time period over which the user 217 determined in this particular Release area is located or in the specific Distance to the corresponding receiving point for the identification codes 230, the locking device 209, 210; 214 unchecked continuously remains.

Of course it is also possible, the Identification prior to release of the items 202 in more than two stages, so that different Criteria must be met before the release via the identification code 230 in accordance with great approach of the user 217 to the Objects 202 takes place. So it is possible, among other things - As shown in Fig. 14 can be seen - that a further Entriegelungsorgan 252 or a control device 253, e.g. a switching element or a sensor surface with the Identification device 211, 216 is connected and only if this additional unlocking organ 252 pressed and a positive identification over the Identification device 211, 216 sometimes by a small distance between the transmitting and / or receiving units 218 to 220 or the control device 253 provides a positive control result, the locking device 209, 210; 214 released becomes. Such unlocking member 252, which, for example, by a push button switch a light barrier or the like may be formed can, causes the release by the locking devices 209, 210; 214 only takes place even if the second hand or another body part in close proximity to the item 202 or to the holding and / or storage device 205 is located. This makes it an advantage for an observer of the authorized user 217 barely recognizable, which measures or steps are taken need to access or access the secured Obtain item 202.

Likewise, the repositioning of the object 202 semi-automatic, manual or fully automatic possible by either the approach of the article 202 to the holding and / or storage device 205 recognized and accordingly this is brought into an operating state, in which a insertion or insertion of the object 202 is possible.

To manipulate the locking devices 209, 210; Can also prevent 214 a quiescent current test or any other safety device be provided.

In conclusion, be it for the sake of order noted that in the drawings, individual components and assemblies for a better understanding of the invention disproportionately and distorted to scale are.

It can also be individual characteristics of each Embodiments with other individual features of other embodiments as desired be combined and in any combination or in each case alone the object of independent Form inventions.
