Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device and a method for locking the barrel and / or the cartridge chamber of a weapon.
  • Such devices or security devices are normally placed in the gun barrel of a weapon and prevent the weapon from being fired.
  • a fuse is known in which the cartridge chamber or the cartridge chamber is blocked on revolvers.
  • a safety sleeve is first introduced by the normal charging in the chamber.
  • a guide tube is inserted with a locking pin from the mouth in the direction of the cartridge chamber.
  • the locking pin is locked in the safety sleeve.
  • a lock is further provided that, for example, a combination lock or a lock or padlock can be and serves to secure the locking pin and the safety sleeve from the outside against unauthorized removal.
  • a fuse has the disadvantage that the lock can be easily cracked from the outside and therefore does not provide reliable protection.
  • the securing element in this case has a compression shaft which has a connecting piece at one end.
  • the compression shaft passes through a bore of an expansion element (preferably rubber) and terminates in a threaded portion which is connected to an internally threaded tube. Is rotated on the neck and thereby on the compression shaft, the threaded portion is screwed into the tube, thereby compressing and expanding the expansion element.
  • the expansion element consists for example of a rubber material
  • the security element is cumbersome in the handle, in that several handles are necessary to place the fuse element in the barrel and remove it again.
  • the blocking or blocking device consists of two security elements.
  • the first securing element has an external thread on one side, on which a rubber segment sits, but that does not completely cover the thread.
  • the first fuse element is loaded into the turret by a normal cartridge loading operation.
  • a second securing element is inserted into the barrel, which has a matching bore with internal thread for receiving the external thread.
  • the two securing elements are then screwed together so that the rubber element is compressed and thereby radially expands, so that it blocks the barrel.
  • such security devices have the disadvantage that they can be easily removed and are also cumbersome to handle.
  • a device for protecting Kipplaufwaffen known.
  • a rod provided at its front end with a diameter-equal hemispherical conclusion that makes insertion into the gun barrel possible and can be provided later with a lock, such as a padlock.
  • the rear end of the rod is provided with a barrier in the form of a collar-like conclusion, wherein the collar-like conclusion is greater than the diameter of the gun barrel.
  • the rod is inserted with its front end in a tilting gun barrel until the collar-like conclusion abuts the barrel, while the other end is locked with a lock, so that the rod can not be pulled out of the barrel.
  • Such a device has the disadvantage that the lock easily broken or the gun barrel can be sawed off easily. The device therefore does not provide reliable protection against unauthorized users. In addition, it can only be used with rifle-throwing weapons.
  • WO 2004/008058 A1 is further a firearm backup known that can be introduced into a gun barrel.
  • a clamping device is operated with expanding jaws from the outside by twisting an armor, with a Sp Dahlgewinde is connected.
  • a deactivation element with an additional actuator is provided. Unlocking the firearm fuse is only possible if the deactivation element releases the Sp Dahlgewinde so that it can be rotated.
  • the armor can also be connected to a coupling device that rotates the armor so that the firearm fuse, for example, is unlocked when the actuator releases the Sp Schwarzgewinde on the deactivating element.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a device and a method with which a weapon can be reliably locked and which is also easy and quick to handle.
  • the locking element has the advantage that it can reliably lock the barrel of a weapon in both directions, i. from the side of the mouth and from the side of the cartridge chamber by blocking the barrel by a wedge member. Furthermore, the locking element can be very easily and quickly mounted in a gun barrel and removed again from this, by an actuator that actuates the blocking element via an electronics.
  • Fig. 1 and 2 it can be seen, so in the barrel of a weapon from the muzzle side a locking element 2 is inserted according to an embodiment of the invention and locked there. The loading and firing of the weapon is thereby prevented. To remove the locking element 2 and to re-start the weapon, an unauthorized third party would have to replace the entire barrel 6 of the weapon.
  • the self-locking weapon safety device consists of the blocking element 2 and preferably a separate operating unit 4.
  • the operating unit 4 preferably remains outside of the barrel 6.
  • the operating unit 4 can be coupled with the blocking element 2 for transmitting and / or receiving data.

  • the operating unit 4 can be mechanically and / or electrically coupled to the blocking element 2.
  • a wireless coupling can take place via radio, for example by means of inductive coupling, in the longest, long and / or medium wave range, e.g. in the range of 3 kHz to 30 MHz.
  • the wireless coupling can furthermore also take place via an optical device or via an electromagnetic coupling in the microwave and UHF frequency range, for example from 400 MHz to 5 GHz.
  • a wired transmission for example, the transmission via a 1-wire bus.
  • the coupling between operating unit 4 and blocking element 2 can also be a combination of the aforementioned coupling possibilities.

  • the operating unit is used for data input (eg input of a PIN code and / or biometric data), wherein the data from the control unit 4 to the electronics 9 are transmitted to the authorization check.
  • the electronics 9 can be self-sufficient, e.g. via a battery 10 and / or not self-sufficient or partially self-sufficient in that energy is supplied by the operating unit 4, for example via a wire or a line. In an alternative, energy can also be inductively supplied.

  • the wedge element 18 forms with the transition a positive connection in the direction of the mouth of the barrel.
  • the blocking element 2 can not be pulled out of the barrel to the mouth side.

  • the actuating element and the roller element guide is formed (see, eg Fig. 4 ), that when pressure is exerted by the mouth side of the barrel on the actuating element, the actuating element presses the wedge element 18 only more strongly against the wall via the roller element guide.

  • the wedge elements 18 are pressed against the wall of the barrel 6 in order to form a frictional engagement with this.
  • the wedge elements with their two bevelled inner sides 8a, 8b form an additional locking mechanism in the direction of the cartridge chamber and in the direction of the mouth of the barrel.
  • the extraction of the locking member 2 from the barrel from the muzzle side, as from the side of the cartridge chamber, is prevented by the frictional engagement between the respective wedge member 18 and the barrel.
  • the beveled portion 8a on the inside of the wedge member 18 causes the wedge member 18 to be pressed even more strongly against the wall of the barrel 6 upon pressing the operating member 16 in the direction of the mouth of the barrel and thus the wedge member 18 still stronger pressed against the barrel.
  • the second chamfered portion 8b on the inside of the other wedge member 18 causes the wedge member 18 to be pressed even more against the wall of the barrel 6 upon pressure on the operating member 16 in the direction of the cartridge chamber.
