Abstract

The gun has a first conventional legible identifier (9) and a second, additional, independent and individual readable identifier (5) that is located in a position that cannot be found or that cannot be recognized as an identifier. The second identifier is arranged on a bearer; the identifier or bearer is covered. The second identifier can be located within the weapon. Independent claims are also included for the following: a method of manufacturing a handgun.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Handfeuerwaffe mit einer ersten und einer zweiten, von der ersten unabhängigen, individuellen Kennung. Eine solche Waffe ist etwa aus der DE-OS 44 33 337 bekannt, bei der neben der üblichen Waffennummer, die in den Rahmen oder das Griffstück der Waffe grundsätzlich eingeschlagen ist, auch ein Chip vorgesehen ist, der zusätzlich alle zur Identifizierung der Waffe notwendigen Informationen enthält.The invention relates to a handgun with a first and a second, individual, independent of the first ID. Such a weapon is from the DE-OS 44 33 337 known, in addition to the usual weapon number, the in the frame or the handle of the gun in principle, a chip is also provided is, in addition, all to identify the Weapon contains necessary information.

Die Unterbringung eines Chip im Griffstück einer Waffe ist auch aus der GB-A-2 340 589 bekannt.The placement of a chip in the grip of a weapon is also known from GB-A-2 340 589.

Bei der bekannten Waffe kann der Chip gegebenenfalls abgenommen werden, so daß sie sich dann nicht von einer anderen Waffe unterscheidet, die von vorne herein nie einen Chip aufwies.In the known weapon, the chip can optionally be removed so that they are not different from another Weapon distinguishes that from the outset never one Chip.

Bekanntlich sind in den meisten Ländern mindestens die Faustfeuerwaffen so weitgehend registriert, daß bei einer aufgefundenen oder bei einer Straftat verwendeten Waffe deren Herkunft lückenlos feststellbar ist. So ist erkennbar, welcher Berechtigte (Waffenhändler, Soldat, Zivilperson) die Waffe als letzter erworben hat und folglich noch immer in deren Besitz sein müßte. Wurde die Waffe entwendet oder verloren, so müßte dieser Umstand aktenkundig sein.As is well known, in most countries at least that is Handguns so widely registered that at one weapon found or used in a crime whose origin can be determined without gaps. So it can be seen which beneficiaries (arms dealer, soldier, civilian) was the last to acquire the weapon and consequently should still be in their possession. Became the weapon stolen or lost, this fact would have to be on record his.

Zum Zwecke der Registrierung weist jede Waffe die schon oben erwähnte Waffennummer auf, eine aus Ziffern und/oder Buchstaben bestehende, individuelle Kennung, die in deren Hauptteil eingeschlagen ist, etwa in das Griffstück einer Selbstladepistole. Diese Kennung wird im folgenden als "Nummer" bezeichnet. Es muß bei einer Waffe, die aus irgendwelchen Gründen keine Nummer aufweist, eine solche sogar nachträglich eingebracht werden. For the purpose of registration, each weapon already has the weapon number mentioned above, one of digits and / or Letters existing, individual identifier, which in their Main part is hammered, for example in the handle of one Automatic pistol. This identifier is referred to below as Denoted "number". It must be with a weapon that comes from any Has no number for reasons even be introduced later.

Soweit das Griffstück aus Metall besteht, wird dieses über eine beträchtliche Tiefe unter der eingeschlagenen Nummer hinweg verdichtet, so daß das einfache Herausfeilen der Nummer nicht verhindert, daß diese später wiederhergestellt und abgelesen werden kann. Wenn aber der entsprechende Abschnitt des Griffstücks ausgeschnitten oder mehrfach mit gleichartigen Schlagbuchstaben oder -ziffern überstempelt wird, ist die Reproduktion der Nummer unmöglich oder mindestens sehr schwierig.As far as the handle is made of metal, this is over a considerable depth below the struck Number compacted so that the easy filing out the number does not prevent it from being restored later and can be read. But if the appropriate one Cut out section of the handle or multiple times with the same letters or numbers is stamped, the reproduction of the number is impossible or at least very difficult.

Soweit ein Griffstück aus Kunststoff besteht, ist in diesen eine Metallplatte eingelassen, die die Nummer trägt. Diese Platte kann herausgefräst werden, ohne die Waffe so unbrauchbar zu machen, daß nicht noch mindestens einige Schüsse mit ihr abgegeben werden können.As far as a handle is made of plastic, is in this embedded a metal plate that bears the number. This plate can be milled out without the weapon like that to make it unusable, that not at least some more Shots can be fired with it.

Um es zumindest zu erschweren, die Identifizierung einer Waffe nachträglich unmöglich zu machen, ist es bekannt, mindestens Teile der Nummer in alle möglichen Teile einzuschlagen. Diese Maßnahme diente ursprünglich allerdings dazu, beim militärischen Waffenreinigen ein Vertauschen von Einzelteilen zu vermeiden.To at least make it difficult to identify one To make the weapon impossible afterwards, it is known to wrap at least parts of the number in all possible parts. This measure originally served, however about a mix-up when cleaning military weapons to avoid individual parts.

Nun ist es bekannt, daß eine geringe Anzahl von Berechtigten ihre Waffen rechtswidrig an Unberechtigte weitergibt. Wird eine solche Waffe aufgefunden, kann deren Berechtigter aufgrund der Nummer ohne weiteres ermittelt werden, soweit dies nicht durch Entfernen oder Unlesbarmachen der Nummer unmöglich gemacht ist.Now it is known that a small number of beneficiaries passes their weapons on to unauthorized persons. If such a weapon is found, its owner can easily determined based on the number unless removed or made unreadable the number is made impossible.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es nun, eine Handfeuerwaffe derart weiterzuentwickeln, daß deren Identifizierung stets möglich bleibt, auch wenn Bemühungen unternommen wurden, die Nummer unleserlich zu machen.The object of the invention is now a handgun to develop in such a way that their identification always remains possible, even if efforts are made to make the number illegible.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe geht die Erfindung davon aus, daß es grundsätzlich keine Möglichkeit gibt, das Entfernen, Überstempeln oder Unkenntlichmachen der Nummer gänzlich zu verhindern oder einen Chip, wie er eingangs erwähnt ist, zu entfernen oder zu löschen.To achieve this object, the invention is based on that there is basically no way to remove Stamp over or obscure the number entirely to prevent or a chip, as he mentioned at the beginning is to remove or delete.

Die Erfindung schlägt daher vor, daß die zweite, von der ersten unabhängige, individuelle Kennung an einer geheimen Stelle verborgen angebracht wird, deren Existenz dem Handel und dem Kunden unbekannt ist und nur dem Hersteller, gegebenenfalls auch noch den Ordnungsbehörden, bekannt ist, oder aus harmlos wirkenden Elementen besteht, die als Kennungsträger nicht kenntlich sind.The invention therefore proposes that the second, of the first independent, individual identifier on a secret Place hidden, the existence of which Trade and the customer is unknown and only to the manufacturer, possibly also known to the regulatory authorities is, or consists of harmless-looking elements, that are not recognizable as identification carriers.

Es ist grundsätzlich bekannt, auch eine komplizierte Elektronik in einer Waffe unterzubringen (WO-A-01 61268), aber diese Elektronik ist ohne weiteres auffindbar und kann dann manipuliert werden.It is generally known, even a complicated one To house electronics in a weapon (WO-A-01 61268), but this electronics is easy to find and can then be manipulated.

Der Hersteller gibt lediglich bekannt, daß er imstande ist, eine Waffe auch dann noch zu identifizieren, wenn deren Nummer entfernt, verstümmelt oder unleserlich gemacht ist. Der Hersteller hält aber geheim, auf welche Weise diese Identifizierung erfolgt. Wird die Waffe von einer Ordnungs- oder Gerichtsbehörde beim Hersteller eingesandt, dann ermittelt er die geheime Kennzeichnung und kann sie, soweit sie sich von der Nummer unterscheidet, dieser Nummer aufgrund seiner Herstellungsaufzeichungen zuordnen. Die Waffe wird dann wieder an die Behörde ausgeliefert, und es wird ihr gleichzeitig die ursprüngliche Nummer mitgeteilt. Die geheime zweite Identifizierungskennung kann verbleiben, wo sie ist.The manufacturer only announces that it is capable is to identify a weapon even if their number removed, garbled or made illegible is. But the manufacturer keeps secret on which Way this identification is done. Will the weapon by sent to the regulatory or judicial authority at the manufacturer, then he determines the secret identification and as far as it differs from the number, this number due to its manufacturing records assign. The weapon is then returned to the authorities, and it becomes the original one at the same time Number communicated. The secret second identifier can stay where it is.

Es entsteht der Eindruck, die erste, allgemein sichtbare und widerrechtlich entfernte Nummer sei durch ein besonderes Verfahren wieder lesbar geworden; daß die Identifizierung aufgrund einer geheimen, zweiten Kennung erfolgte, ist nicht offenbar. Der Straftäter wird sich daher bemühen, die sichtbare Nummer möglichst gründlich zu entfernen, aber nicht nach einer zweiten Kennung suchen. Diese braucht daher nicht mit besonderer Sorgfalt verborgen zu werden, sondern es ist ausreichend, daß sie dem normalen Benutzer nicht zur Kenntnis gelangt.The impression is created, the first, generally visible and illegally removed number is due to a special one Procedures become readable again; that identification based on a secret, second identifier, is not obvious. The offender will therefore look endeavor to remove the visible number as thoroughly as possible, but don't look for a second identifier. Therefore, this need not be hidden with special care to become, but it is sufficient that it normal user does not know.

Erfindungsgemäß enthält die zweite Kennung Informationen, aus denen sich die Seriennummer der Waffe ableiten läßt. According to the invention, the second identifier contains information from which the serial number of the weapon can be derived.

Diese zweite Kennung ist an einer verborgenen Stelle angeordnet, etwa im Magazinschacht, oder auch nicht als Kennung erkennbar, etwa als Strichcode in den Einfräsungen zum Halten und Betätigen des Schlittens oder als Auslassungen von Feldern in der Fischhaut der Griffschalen, so daß ein Benutzer die zweite Kennung gegebenenfalls zwar erblicken kann, aber daraus nicht ableitet, er habe eine Kennung vor sich.This second identifier is located at a hidden location, for example in the magazine shaft or not as Identification recognizable, for example as a bar code in the millings for holding and operating the slide or as omissions of fields in the fish skin of the handle scales, so that a user may use the second identifier can see, but does not deduce that he has an identifier in front of it.

Das Einbringen einer Kennung an einem verborgenen Ort der Waffe bringt allerhand Schwierigkeiten mit sich. Aus diesem Grunde ist es bevorzugt, daß die zweite Kennung auf einem Kennungsträger angeordnet ist (Anspruch 2). Der Kennungsträger kann außerhalb der Waffe gegebenenfalls in einer separatenen Firma hergestellt und mit der zweiten Kennzeichnung versehen werden und wird dann an oder in der Waffe, vorzugsweise dem Griffstück oder dem Gehäuse, angebracht, wobei die Anbringung erheblich vereinfacht ist. Der Kennungsträger kann dabei so beschaffen sein, daß die Kennung nicht von außen sichtbar oder ohne Hilfsmittel erkennbar ist. Beim Ablesen kann dann der Kennungsträger gegebenenfalls abgelöst und gelesen werden.The introduction of an identifier in a hidden place of the Weapon brings with it all kinds of difficulties. For this Basically, it is preferred that the second identifier an identifier is arranged (claim 2). The Identification carrier can be in outside of the weapon if necessary manufactured by a separate company and with the second Labeling and will then be on or in the weapon, preferably the handle or the housing, attached, the attachment considerably simplified is. The identifier can be such that that the identifier is not visible from the outside or without tools is recognizable. The identifier can then be read if necessary, be replaced and read.

Es kann aber auch von Vorteil sein, daß der Kennungsträger mit einer Abdeckung versehen ist (Anspruch 3), die ihn vor der Erkennung schützt und verhindert, daß er erblickt werden kann. Zum Ablesen der zweiten Kennung kann diese Abdeckung notfalls entnommen werden. Die Abdeckung schützt den Kennungsträger auch vor Außeneinflüssen, besonders vor Waffenöl, das ihn zersetzen könnte.But it can also be advantageous that the identifier is provided with a cover (claim 3), the protects it from detection and prevents it from being seen can be. To read the second identifier this cover can be removed if necessary. The cover especially protects the identifier carrier from external influences from gun oil that could degrade it.

Um das Auffinden des Kennungsträgers noch besser zu verhindern, ist dieser gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung im Inneren der Waffe an oder in deren Gehäuse bzw. Griffstück angebracht (Anspruch 4). Bevorzugt ist eine Vertiefung oder Bohrung im Griffstück oder im Gehäuse angeordnet, die den Kennungsträger aufnimmt und die durch den eingebrachten Kennungsträger selbst oder die obengenannte Abdeckung derart verschlossen wird, daß nicht erkennbar ist, daß an dieser Stelle ein Kennungsträger verborgen ist. Diese Vertiefung ist bevorzugt an einer massiven Stelle des Griffstücks angebracht und nur nach einer Seite hin offen, so daß der eingesetzte Kennungsträger dann, wenn er durch eine Abdeckung, einen Farbfleck oder seine eigene Oberfläche vor Sicht gedeckt ist, selbst bei einer aufmerksamen Überprüfung der Waffe nicht mehr erkennbar ist.To prevent the identification carrier from being found even better, according to a further embodiment the invention inside the weapon on or in the housing or handle attached (claim 4). Prefers is a recess or hole in the handle or in Arranged housing that receives the identifier and that by the introduced identifier itself or the above cover is closed such that it is not recognizable that there is an identifier at this point is hidden. This deepening is preferred attached to a solid part of the handle and only open on one side, so that the one used Identifier carrier when it is covered by a cover Color stain or its own surface covered before sight is, even if the weapon is carefully checked is no longer recognizable.

Die Kennungsträger können recht klein sein, so daß ein Griffstück oder Gehäuse unzählige Möglichkeiten zur Unterbringung des Kennungsträgers bietet. Die Aussparung, besonders eine Bohrung, kann als Durchgangsaussparung oder -bohrung ausgebildet sein, die beiderseits mit einer Abdeckung oder einem ähnlichen Sichtschutz versehen ist, so daß der Kennungsträger ohne weiteres aus der Aussparung oder Bohrung herausgeschoben werden kann.The identification carriers can be quite small, so that a Handle or housing countless possibilities for accommodation of the identifier bearer. The recess, especially a hole, can be used as a through hole be formed or bore, which on both sides with a Cover or a similar privacy screen is provided, so that the identifier carrier easily out of the recess or hole can be pushed out.

Bevorzugt ist der Kennungsträger in den Kunststoff eines Kunststoffgriffstücks eingebettet (Anspruch 5), z.T. ist er in eine Aussparung eingeklebt. Dabei wird der Kennungsträger, wenn er einen Vorsprung bildet, den Eindruck einer Verstärkung oder eines sonstigen, funktionswesentlichen Teils des Griffstücks erwecken und von einem Straftäter mit großer Sicherheit nicht entfernt werden, da von diesem der Kennungsträger für die Funktion der Waffe, besonders für die Dauerfestigkeit des Griffstücks, für wesentlich angesehen wird.The identifier carrier is preferably one in the plastic Plastic handle embedded (claim 5), partially is he glued into a recess. The identifier carrier, if he forms a head start, the impression a reinforcement or another functionally essential Awaken part of the handle and one Offenders are almost certainly not removed, since this is the identifier for the function of the Weapon, especially for the fatigue strength of the grip, is considered essential.

Der Kennungsträger kann ein graviertes Metalltäfelchen sein, das zum Ablesen unter Umständen entnommen werden muß. Bevorzugt ist der Kennungsträger aber als ein Chip, vorzugsweise als ein Transponder, ausgebildet (Anspruch 6). Wesentlich ist, daß diese Kennungsträger keine eigene Stromversorgung haben, sondern beim Abfragen induktiv erregt und mit Strom versorgt werden. Wesentlich ist, daß ein solcher Chip oder Transponder auf Distanz abgefragt werden kann, zugleich aber sehr geringe Abmessungen hat und schließlich erhebliche Informationsmengen bevorraten kann. Der Transponder kann somit in ein Kunststoffgriffstück zur Gänze eingelassen bleiben, während er abgefragt wird.The identifier can be an engraved metal plate that may be removed for reading got to. However, the identifier carrier is preferred as a chip, preferably designed as a transponder 6). It is essential that these identifiers do not have their own Have power supply, but inductively excited when queried and be powered. It is essential that such a chip or transponder is queried at a distance can be, but at the same time has very small dimensions and finally stocking up significant amounts of information can. The transponder can thus be placed in a plastic handle remain fully let in while he is queried becomes.

Es ist zwar bereits bekannt, elektronische Codierungen oder Einrichtungen an Waffen zu verwenden (WO 98/04880, DE 40 22 038 und DE 39 11 804), doch ist die Existenz dieser Einrichtungen dem Benutzer der Waffe zwangsläufig bekannt.Although it is already known, electronic coding or to use devices on weapons (WO 98/04880, DE 40 22 038 and DE 39 11 804), but the existence is these facilities inevitably the user of the weapon known.

Das Abfragegerät kann eine Aufnahme für das Griffstück oder Gehäuse haben, sowie mehrere Fühler oder Antennen, und es braucht nicht erkennbar zu sein, welcher der Fühler oder welche der Antennen beim Abfragen erregt wird. Somit wird es auch beim Abfragen nicht erkennbar, wo der Chip oder Transponder untergebracht ist. Es ist also möglich, an die Ordnungsbehörden Lesegeräte auszuliefern, mittels deren die erfindungsgemäßen Handfeuerwaffen untersucht werden können, um deren zweite Kennung zu ermitteln. Diese Lesegeräte lassen aber keinen Rückschluß darüber zu, an welcher Stelle der Waffe der Transponder oder Chip sitzt.The interrogator can hold the handle or housing, as well as several sensors or antennas, and it need not be recognizable which of the feelers or which of the antennas is excited when queried. So it is not recognizable when querying where the Chip or transponder is housed. So it's possible deliver readers to the regulatory authorities, by means of which the handguns according to the invention are examined can be used to determine their second identifier. However, these readers make no conclusions about it to where on the weapon the transponder or Chip sits.

Schließlich ist es auch denkbar, einen Chip, Transponder oder sonstigen fernablesbaren Kennungsträger in das Griffstück bei dessen Herstellung mit einzuspritzen, soweit dieser Kennungsträger ausreichend temperaturbeständig ist.Finally, it is also conceivable to use a chip, transponder or other remotely readable ID carriers in the Inject the handle with its manufacture, so far this identifier has sufficient temperature resistance is.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist der Transponder zylindrisch oder eckig und sitzt im Griffstück (Anspruch 7). Er könnte etwa in einer Sackbohrung sitzen. Eine solche Sackbohrung ist mit einfachsten Mitteln in das Griffstück oder Gehäuse einbringbar. Wenn der Transponder in der Bohrung sitzt, ist die durch den Transponder oder einen Stopfen verschlossene Sackbohrung als solche nicht mehr erkennbar; die noch sichtbaren Spuren könnten genauso Spuren eines Formstempels sein.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention the transponder is cylindrical or angular and sits in the Handle (claim 7). It could be in a blind hole sit. Such a blind hole is one of the simplest Can be inserted into the handle or housing. If the transponder is in the hole, is through the Transponder or a plug closed blind hole no longer recognizable as such; the still visible traces could also be traces of a stamp.

Da die entsprechenden Transponder sehr klein sind, ist eine Bohrung mit ca. 2,5 mm Durchmesser und 10 mm Länge ausreichend. Eine solche Bohrung kann an sehr vielen Stellen eines vorhandenen Griffstücks eingebracht werden. Wird ein Griffstück speziell unter Berücksichtigung der Erfindung geschaffen, können noch weitere Möglichkeiten für die Unterbringung des Transponders geschaffen werden.Since the corresponding transponders are very small, a hole with a diameter of approx. 2.5 mm and a length of 10 mm sufficient. Such a drilling can be done on many Place an existing handle. If a handle is specially designed with the Invention created, still other possibilities be created for the accommodation of the transponder.

Es ist grundsätzlich möglich, die zweite, geheime Kennung auf die erste, vorhandene abzustimmen, so daß beide kennungen miteinander übereinstimmen. Dies ist aber zunächst oft sehr schwierig zu realisieren und würde außerdem die Geheimhaltungskette durchlöchern, da auf diese Weise mehr Personen mit der geheimen Kennzeichnung in Kontakt kämen, als dies unbedingt notwendig wäre. Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind die beiden Kennungen jedoch unterschiedlich (Anspruch 8). Dabei werden z.B. vorprogrammierte Transponder geliefert und mit kleinstmöglichem Aufwand in die Waffen eingesetzt. Anschließend werden mittels eines Lesegerätes die Transponder abgelesen und in einer Liste der eingeschlagenen Nummer der Waffe zugeordnet. Das Lesegerät kann aber, wie schon oben vermerkt, so ausgebildet werden, daß ihm die Lage des Transponders nicht entnommen werden kann.It is basically possible to use the second, secret identifier to match the first, existing, so that both identifiers agree with each other. But this is first often very difficult to implement and would also Hole in the chain of confidentiality, because this way more People would come into contact with the secret identification, than is absolutely necessary. According to a preferred Embodiment of the invention are the two identifiers however different (claim 8). Here, e.g. Pre-programmed transponders supplied and with the smallest possible Effort spent on weapons. Subsequently the transponders are read using a reader and in a list of the embossed number of Assigned weapon. The reader can, as above noted, so trained that the location of the Transponders cannot be removed.

Die Erfindung betrifft auch ein Verfahren zur Herstellung einer Handfeuerwaffe, wie sie voranstehend beschrieben ist, das darin besteht, daß vorprogrammierte, zylindrische Transponder bereitgestellt werden, daß in das mit einer ersten Kennung versehene Griffstück oder das Gehäuse einer Handfeuerwaffe eine passende Ausnehmung eingebracht wird, daß ein Transponder in die Ausnehmung eingelassen wird und daß dann die Kennung des Transponders in einem Lesegerät abgelesen und und der ersten Kennung zugeordnet wird (Anspruch 9). Dieses Verfahren wurde bereits voranstehend beschrieben und hat den Vorteil, daß die Geheimhaltung bestens gewährleistet ist, so daß keine Informationen aus der Firma nach außen gelangen, die Waffen hätten eine zweite Kennung, und wo diese Kennung angeordnet wäre. Die Öffentlichkeit, auch die Behörden, brauchen nur zu wissen, daß es dem Hersteller gelingt, auch völlig entfernte Nummern noch abzulesen. Daß dies auf dem Umweg über eine geheime zweite "Nummer" geschieht, braucht Außenstehenden nicht bekannt zu sein.The invention also relates to a method of manufacture a handgun as described above is that is preprogrammed, cylindrical Transponders are provided that with that a handle provided with a first identifier or the housing a suitable recess made in a handgun is that a transponder is inserted into the recess and that then the identifier of the transponder in read a reader and assigned to the first identifier will (claim 9). This procedure has already been done described above and has the advantage that confidentiality is well guaranteed so that none Information coming out of the company, the guns would have a second identifier and where that identifier was placed would. The public, including the authorities, just need to know that the manufacturer succeeds even completely removed numbers can still be read. That this happens on the detour via a secret second "number" need not be known to outsiders.

Der in die Ausnehmung, etwa eine Sackbohrung, eingeführte Transponder wird bevorzugt durch einen Deckel oder einen Anstrich verdeckt oder von vorneherein eingegossen oder eingespritzt (Anspruch 10). Anschließend kann, wenn die Bohrung oder Ausnehmung, die den Tranponder aufnimmt, von der Außenoberfläche ausgeht, die übliche oder eine zusätzliche Oberflächen-Nachbearbeitung des Griffstücks durchgeführt werden, so daß die Ausnehmung oder Bohrung unauffindbar verborgen ist.The one inserted into the recess, such as a blind hole Transponder is preferred by a cover or a Paint covered or poured in from the start or injected (claim 10). Then, if the Hole or recess that receives the transponder from the outer surface, the usual or an additional Surface finishing of the handle be performed so that the recess or bore is hidden undetectable.

Insgesamt wird somit eine Handfeuerwaffe geschaffen, die zusätzlich zur üblichen Seriennummer an verborgener Stelle einen Transponder oder Chip aufweist, der identifizierende Informationen enthält, die der genannten Seriennummer zuordenbar sind. Da es dem Publikum unbekannt ist, daß ein solcher Transponder oder Chip vorhanden ist, und da er auch nicht sichtbar ist, bleibt er aller Wahrscheinlichkeit nach unerkannt, auch wenn die Seriennummer der Waffe entfernt oder unkenntlich gemacht wird, so daß diese Seriennummer jederzeit rekonstruiert werden kann.Overall, a handgun is thus created in addition to the usual serial number in a hidden place has a transponder or chip that identifies Contains information related to that serial number are assignable. Since it is unknown to the audience, that such a transponder or chip is present, and since it is also not visible, it is likely to remain after undetected even if the serial number the weapon is removed or blurred so that this serial number can be reconstructed at any time.

Der Gegenstand der Erfindung wird anhand der beigefügten, schematischen Zeichnung beipielsweise noch näher erläutert. In dieser zeigt:

Fig. 1
die Seitenansicht einer erfindungsgemäßen Selbstladepistole, und
Fig. 2
eine Teilansicht aus der Richtung II in Fig. 1.
The subject matter of the invention is explained in more detail, for example, with the aid of the attached schematic drawing. In this shows:
Fig. 1
the side view of a self-loading pistol according to the invention, and
Fig. 2
a partial view from the direction II in Fig. 1st

In Fig. 1 ist eine Selbstladepistole in Seitenansicht gezeigt, mit einem Griffstück 1, das überwiegend aus Kunststoff besteht und an dem ein Abzugsbügel 3 einstückig angeformt ist.1 shows a self-loading pistol in a side view, with a handle 1, which is mainly made of plastic exists and on which a trigger guard 3 is integrally formed is.

Der Abzugsbügel 3 weist eine vordere Griff-Fläche auf, um beim Schießen mit der Hand, die nicht den Griff der Pistole umfaßt und zusätzlich die Pistole von vorne her stützt, eine zuverlässige Anlagefläche zu geben. Da diese Anlagefläche im wesentlichen geradlinig verläuft und nur an der Unterseite nach vorne vorspringt, um ein Abrutschen zu verhindern, weist der Abzugsbügel vorne und unten eine Verdickung auf, wie sie auch bei anderen Pistolen dieser Art erkennbar ist.The trigger guard 3 has a front grip surface to when shooting with the hand that is not the handle of the pistol includes and also the pistol from the front supports to give a reliable investment area. This one Contact surface runs essentially straight and only protrudes forward at the bottom to slip off to prevent the trigger guard has front and bottom a thickening on it, as with other guns of this kind is recognizable.

In dieser Verdickung sitzt eine Sack-Querbohrung, die von der Oberfläche der Waffe ausgeht, die in Fig. 1 sichtbar ist. In dieser Querbohrung sitzt ein kleiner Transponder, der bevorzugt dort eingeklebt ist. Über dem Transponder sitzt eine eine Abdeckung 7, die bündig mit der Außenoberfläche des Abzugsbügels 3 abschließt.In this thickening there is a cross-hole in the sack, which by the surface of the weapon, which is visible in Fig. 1 is. A small transponder sits in this cross hole, which is preferably glued in there. Above the transponder sits a cover 7 that is flush with the outer surface the trigger guard 3 completes.

Die gezeigte Pistole, genauer gesagt, ihr Griffstück 1, weist außerdem eine übliche Seriennummer 9 auf, die von unten her sichtbar ist und in eine Metallplatte (nicht gezeigt) eingeschlagen ist, die in den Kunststoff des Griffstücks 1 fest mit eingegossen ist. Diese Metallplatte liegt nach unten offen und könnte von unten her mit einem in einer Fräsmaschine eingespannten, einem Fingerfräser ähnelnden Schleifwerkzeug so weit abgetragen werden, daß die Seriennummer völlig entfernt und auch nicht mehr rekonstruierbar ist.The pistol shown, more precisely, its handle 1, also has a common serial number 9 issued by is visible from below and into a metal plate (not shown) is hammered into the plastic of the Handle 1 is cast in firmly. This metal plate is open at the bottom and could come from below one in a milling machine, a end mill similar grinding tools are removed so far that the serial number is completely removed and neither is more reconstructable.

In diesem Falle wird das Griffstück 1 mit seinem Abzugsbügel in ein Lesegerät (nicht gezeigt) gehalten, das die Informationen erfaßt, die auf dem Transponder 5 gespeichert sind. Diese Informationen wurden bereits bei der Herstellung der Waffe werkseitig abgelesen und in einer Liste der Seriennummer zugeordnet. Diese Seriennummer ist somit jederzeit rekonstruierbar, auch wenn sie spurlos entfernt ist.In this case, the handle 1 with its trigger guard held in a reader (not shown) that the Collects information that is stored on the transponder 5 are. This information was already at the Manufacture of the weapon read at the factory and in one List assigned to the serial number. This serial number is can therefore be reconstructed at any time, even if it has no trace is removed.

Der Transponder ist an einer Stelle eingesetzt, die von Metallteilen möglichst weit entfernt ist, damit eine ungestörte Ablesung erfolgen kann. Dies ist jedoch nicht notwendig, und es ist grundsätzlich möglich, auch an anderen, beliebigen Stellen den Transponder anzubringen, besonders an Stellen, die nicht so ohne weiteres entfernt werden können wie etwa der Abzugsbügel, der ja einfach abgesägt werden könnte.The transponder is inserted at a point that is from Metal parts is as far away as possible, so that an undisturbed Reading can be done. However, this is not necessary, and it is basically possible, also on others, to attach the transponder at any point, especially in places that are not easily removed like the trigger guard, which is easy could be sawn off.
