Definitions

  • This invention refers to an authentication and authorisation device for the use of a firearm by an operator who is authorised and trained for said use.
  • the reading area can be impregnated with sand, mud or water or covered by thick gloves recommended for the weather.
  • the operator can become surprised or compromised because the identification system does not identify and authenticate him correctly, and the operator is unable to use the firearm in said situation.
  • a purpose of the invention is to provide an authentication and authorisation device for a firearm that restricts the use of the aforementioned firearm to at least one predetermined authorised operator, and therefore the use of the same by unidentified and unauthorised third parties is prevented.
  • Another purpose of the invention is to provide an authentication and authorisation device that comprises an emitting device that generates a predetermined authentication and authorisation signal consisting of an electric field with a reduced field intensity that is transmitted through a capacitive coupling to the body of the operator, and from this, through another capacitive coupling to a receiving device included in the firearm.
  • Yet another purpose of the invention is to provide an emitting device that is transportable on the body of the operator or on any article of clothing that belongs to the very clothes of the operator, or that is included in another object that the operator carries, such as a portable electronic device, a mechanical device and/or portable electromechanical device such as a watch or something similar.
  • another purpose of the invention is to provide an emitting device that generates and emits, through one of its outputs, a predetermined authentication and authorisation signal to the receiving device included in the firearm. Once said signal is received and processed by the receiving device, the operator is verified and authorised to use the firearm.
  • Yet another purpose of the invention is to provide an authentication and authorisation device that comprises a programmable emitting device and receiving device to facilitate adding or removing an operator from the operators authorised to use the firearm.
  • Still yet another purpose of the invention is to provide a receiving device that once it receives the authentication and authorisation signal from an emitting device used by the operator that wishes to use the firearm, it is capable of generating and transmitting an unblocking signal to one of its outputs, which allows the operator to use the firearm from that moment on, while the receiving device continues receiving the authentication and authorisation signal.
  • the receiving device At the moment when the device stops receiving the aforementioned signal, the receiving device generates and transmits a blocking signal from one of its outputs, and therefore the firearm cannot be used. Alternatively, the receiving device stops generating and transmitting an unblocking signal from one of its outputs, and the firearm is blocked.
  • the receiving device generates and transmits an electrical blocking and/or unblocking signal to an electromagnetic system included in the firearm, which acts upon the operation of the kinematic firing chain and/or upon any of its safeties, releasing or blocking its operation.
  • the blocking and/or unblocking signal blocks or allows the progression of a electrical firing signal.
  • Yet another purpose of the invention is to provide an emitting and receiving device that are powered electrically through an electrical power source such as a long-lasting rechargeable cell or battery.
  • Another purpose of the invention is to provide an emitting and receiving device that includes on each of them a viewing screen to show useful information for the authorised operator. For example, information regarding the state of blocking or unblocking of the firearm, state of the charge of the corresponding electrical energy source or similar.
  • Yet another purpose of the invention is to provide a light authentication and authorisation device that is smaller in size and simple to use. Likewise, in the case of an anomaly or malfunctioning of the same, the authentication and authorisation device can be disabled temporarily by the operator, in such a manner that the firearm can be used by any operator.
  • Yet another purpose of the invention is to provide an authentication and authorisation device with great operating autonomy, since both the emitting device and the receiving device are embodied through electronic circuits with low power consumption that remain in a state of rest until receiving an activation signal, and deactivate and return to the state of rest or low power consumption when they stop receiving the activation signal.
  • Another purpose of the invention is to show, through the viewing screen, other information inherent to the firearm, such as the temperature of the barrel, the number of cartridges fired or the number of cartridges available in the firearm.
  • Figure 1 shows in a flow chart of an authentication and authorisation device according to the invention
  • Figure 2 shows schematically an emitting device and a receiving device included in the authentication and authorisation device according to the invention
  • Figures 3a and 3b show in a perspective view a possible location of the receiving device in a short firearm and in a long firearm according to the invention.
  • a flow chart of the authentication and authorisation device 10 is illustrated for a firearm 11, for example, a pistol and a rifle.
  • Authentication and authorisation device 10 comprises an emitting device 20 carried by an operator 15 that is verified and authorised to use the firearm 11, and a receiving device 21 that is located in the firearm 11.
  • the emitting device 20 generates and emits to the firearm 11, through one of its outputs, authentication and authorisation signals related to an electrical characteristic of an electric field, to the receiving device 21.
  • the emitter 20 is capable of receiving signals generated and transmitted from the receiver 21 to the same, in order to be used by the operator that is verified and authorised to use the firearm 11. For example, if the firearm 11 is unblocked or blocked, the load state of an electrical power source relative to receiver 21 or any relevant information of firearm 11.
  • the same body of the authorised operator 15 can serve as the means for two-way transmission of signals exchangeable between the emitter 20 and the receiver 21.

  • some second electrical input/output terminals 21 e such as some electrodes 21e that likewise do not require being electrically in contact with the body of the operator authorised to use the firearm 11, to receive the authentication and authorisation signal emitted from the emitting device 20, in turn generating and transmitting an unblocking signal through some third electrical terminals 21t, so that the firearm 11 is operational for shooting.
  • the signals generated by the second generator 21 g are transmitted to the emitting device 20 through the second terminals 21 e, flow through the body of the authorised operator and generate an electrical signal on the first terminals 20e that go to the first programmable logic means of control or microprocessor 20m.
  • the receiving device 21 comprises a second viewing screen 21 d where it shows information related to firearm 11.
  • FIG. 3a shows the location of receiver 21 on firearm 11 such as a rifle, pistol or similar firearm.
  • the second viewing screen 21 d is placed preferably around the aiming system of the same firearm 11, so that the screen in the same is oriented towards the sight of the authorized operator 15, and therefore within his field of vision of the aiming system.
  • emitter 20 is carried by the authorised operator 15. The activation of the same is done through an action on an on/off switch, not shown in the drawings.
  • the emitting device 20 can have different locations based upon its physical dimensions, such as a watch, bracelet, insertable into an article of clothing that is worn by the authorised operator 15, within the same body of the operator 15, consequently, the switch will adopt an appropriate shape to its location and its activation/deactivation will also be adapted to said location.
  • the first generator 20g When the emitting device 20 is activated, the first generator 20g, based upon information received from the first microprocessor 20m, generates a continuous authentication and authorisation signal and/or with a predetermined frequency programmable through the first microprocessor 20m, which is transmitted through the first output terminals 20e to the firearm 11 through the body of the same authorised operator 15.
  • the first signal generator 20g comprises a electric field generator that transmits to the user 15 through a capacitive coupling, i.e. without direct electrical contact between electrodes 20e and the authorised operator 15.
  • the transmission of the signal is performed when the separation between the electrodes 20e and the body of the operator 15 is lower than a predetermined distance measured at a few centimetres, being interrupted when the value of the distance that exists between the emitter 20 and the operator 15 is greater than the aforementioned distance.
  • the signals transmitted to the operator 15 in the form of a weak electric field are transmitted from him to the firearm 11 in the same manner, being picked up by the second input/output terminals 21e of receiver 21, without the need for direct electrical contact with the operator 15.
  • the transmission of the signal is performed when the separation between the body of the operator 15 and the electrodes 21e is lower than a predetermined distance measured at a few centimetres, being interrupted when the value of the distance that exists between the operator 15 and the receiver 21 is greater than that distance.
  • each emitter-receiver set is characterised by an encoded electric field, for example, by frequency, amplitude and/or phase modulation.
  • the microprocessor 21 m Once the authentication signal received has been evaluated based upon values stored in a second storage memory, not shown in the figures, connected electrically to the second microprocessor 21 m or included in the same, the microprocessor 21 m generates and transmits the corresponding unblocking signal through third terminals 21t, to the electromagnetic device, not shown in the figures, for unblocking the firing mechanism of firearm 11, with the same being able to actuate.
  • the electromagnetic device keeps the firing mechanism of firearm 11 blocked, preventing it from being fired.
