Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a fuse for a Hand gun with at least one sensor for identification of their user using at least one finger.
  • US 5,603,179 describes a safety device for Handguns for recognizing hand or fingerprints from different people.
  • a Scanner sensor with infrared light is used gradually scanned individual skin structures of a fingerprint and in a bad, roughly resolved form the individual Points of the fingerprint as a reference value Checks for the permissible user.
  • the present invention is based on the object secure protection of a weapon against unauthorized use to ensure that this is quick and inexpensive should be done.
  • Such sensors are known and serve, for example Removal of an access block to a network or the Identification of people. For the present case they are particularly suitable for unlocking one Handgun.
  • the senor is said to be a Be a scanner camera that uses an opto-digital or electronic recording of the fingerprint and / or the Finger contouring.
  • a scanner camera has a scanner module Advantage that they unite in fractions of a second Capture fingerprint and feed it to a computing unit which can then save the fingerprint with Compares fingerprints.
  • the scanner camera is working compared to a scanner module much faster and safer.
  • the image captured by the scanner camera can be digitized immediately.
  • the senor can also be an ultrasound scanning sensor, which by means of acoustic signal measurement the user's fingerprints decreases. It is also possible to use heart rate sensors the determination of the user by a Perform a comparison measurement of the heart rate. Such sensors are commercially available, so that on a detailed description is omitted.
  • the at least one scanner camera is preferred for recording of the fingerprint in a handgun grip built-in.
  • the arrangement is also conceivable elsewhere, however, the arrangement in the handle preferred because the handle is usually from the user to proper use of the weapon must be embraced.
  • a computer unit is assigned to the scanner camera in turn is powered by a power source. Both Elements are also preferably in the handle the weapon.
  • the computing unit is preferably one Storage unit assigned in which the fingerprints of the authorized user or users.
  • This Storage unit should be designed so that it can cannot be cracked by a third party.
  • the main locks used are electromechanical locks Question which one, for example, on a deduction, a Lock lever, hammer or the like. That is, she block one or more of these functional elements, can be unlocked by applying current.
  • Another option is to use a Block magazine holder. So that's it for one Unauthorized users cannot remove the magazine from the handle.
  • the handgun is assigned a radio signal transmitter, which connected to a satellite navigation system can be brought. So that this doesn't happen all the time, however, what is also possible is the radio signal transmitter be put into action after a certain period of time, unless an authorized user by enclosing of the handle of the computer unit indicates that the weapon is still in possession of one User. For example, this time can be around 12 Hours, as within this time, be it for Insert the weapon into a holster, be it for removal the weapon from the holster after finishing a job, for example, a police officer, it is necessary that this takes the handle in hand.
  • Figure 1 is essentially a handgun Handle 1 shown, in which there is a space 14 for a magazine shown in more detail.
  • This magazine is published by held a magazine holder 8 in the room 14, wherein this magazine holder 8 rotates about an axis 9 and with a latch 10 in a corresponding recess in the Magazine can snap into place.
  • the magazine holder 8 is by means of a electromechanical lock 2 held in the present Embodiment is designed as a bolt can be surrounded, for example, by a coil former, which causes the bolt when the Coil former extends or retracts with current.
  • a trigger 12 for actuation is schematic of a striking organ, not shown, which also locked by an electromechanical lock 11 can be.
  • the sensors 3.1 to 3.3 connected to a computer unit 5, which is also in the handle 1 is located.
  • the computing unit 5 is from a power source 4, which, for example, as Button battery can be formed. Separate is still with 6 a memory unit of the computer indicated.
  • radio signal transmitter 7 integrated with a satellite surveillance system Can connect. This radio signal transmitter 7 is also coupled to the computing unit 5.
  • An authorized user wants to use the weapon take he grips the handle with his shooting hand 1, so middle finger, ring finger and pinky on the sensors 3.1 to 3.3 rest.
  • the scanner cameras take the fingerprints from these fingers and conduct the computer unit 5.
  • the computer unit 5 the fingerprints with stored fingerprints the storage unit 6 compared. Will be a match of the fingerprints, so the electromechanical locks 2 and 11 released so that deduction and magazine are released.
  • the weapon can now be without more can be used.
  • the computing unit 5 finds it Fingerprints are not in the storage unit 6, so that too no unlocking of electromechanical locks 2 and 11 he follows. The weapon is unusable.
  • the computing unit determines the radio signal transmitter 7 that it to send corresponding radio signals.
  • These radio signals are from a known satellite navigation system caught, which in turn determines where the weapon is located at the moment. This can be a lost one or stolen weapon can be found again at any time.
  • FIGS of a sensor 3.4 acts it is a capacitive sensor that measures the capacitance between a sensor surface 13 and a Finger section 14 measures. This results in different voltage values, whereby from the Voltage differences an image of the finger section 14 can be created. This happens, for example, on digital Path.
  • the sensor 3.4 has a frame 15, which is preferably for Housing is grounded. This means that the frame 15 one possibly on the surface of the finger Overvoltage discharges to the housing.
  • connections 16 are indicated, with which the sensor 3.4 is connected to a computer, in which the image of the finger section 14 is generated.
  • the computer also has several sections of the finger stored, the calculator making an association between the determined image of the finger section and the stored images.
  • Such a sensor 3.4 should also on the opposite side of the handle 1.1 provided so that the handgun can also be used by one Left-handed can be operated. For example, it is also one Circuit possible, which determines the usability of the weapon maintains when first right hand is taken and then transferred to the left hand. If after a certain short time from the second If there is no signal, the weapon is locked again.
