Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Sicherungsvorrichtung für ein Gewehr nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a safety device for a rifle according to the preamble of claim 1.

Aufgrund sich häufender Missbrauchsvorfälle werden vielfach Anstrengungen unternommen, um die unbefugte Benutzung von Handfeuerwaffen zu unterbinden. So wurde u.a. die Forderung erhoben, Waffen ausschließlich in Waffenschränken oder Tresoren mit einer biometrischen Absicherung aufzubewahren. Auch zur unmittelbaren Sicherung der Waffe wurden neben mechanischen Lösungen mit schlossartigen Verriegelungen auch bereits elektronische Sicherungsmechanismen mit personenbezogenen Authentifizierungssystemen vorgeschlagen. Die bisher bekannten Sicherungsvorrichtungen sind jedoch in der Regel für Pistolen oder Revolver konzipiert und weisen einen relativ aufwändigen Verriegelungsmechanismus auf.Due to increasing frequency of abuse, efforts are often made to prevent the unauthorized use of handguns. So was u.a. Claiming to store weapons only in gun cabinets or vaults with a biometric safeguard. Also for immediate securing of the weapon, electronic security mechanisms with personal authentication systems have already been proposed in addition to mechanical solutions with lock-type latches. However, the previously known security devices are usually designed for pistols or revolvers and have a relatively complex locking mechanism.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Sicherungsvorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, die mit einfachen Mitteln eine verbesserte Sicherheit gegen unbefugte Benutzung von Gewehren ermöglicht.The object of the invention is to provide a safety device of the type mentioned, which allows simple means improved security against unauthorized use of guns.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Sicherungsvorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Zweckmäßige Ausgestaltungen und vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.This object is achieved by a securing device having the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments and advantageous developments of the invention are specified in the dependent claims.

Die erfindungsgemäße Sicherungsvorrichtung zeichnet sich durch einen an einem Teil des Gewehrs angeordneten Biometriesensor und eine mit dem Biometriesensor gekoppelte Stelleinrichtung aus, durch die ein Verriegelungsmechanismus zur lösbaren Absperrung eine Magazinschachts und/oder Verriegelung eines Verschlusses in Abhängigkeit von den durch den Biometriesensor ermittelten Daten betätigbar ist. Dadurch kann sichergestellt werden, dass ein Gewehr nur von einer autorisierten Person geladen bzw. betätigt werden kann.The securing device according to the invention is characterized by a biometric sensor arranged on a part of the rifle and an adjusting device coupled to the biometric sensor, by means of which a locking mechanism for releasable blocking of a magazine shaft and / or locking of a closure can be actuated in dependence on the data determined by the biometric sensor. This can ensure that a rifle can only be loaded or operated by an authorized person.

In einer besonders zweckmäßigen Ausführung sind der Biometriesensor und die Stelleinrichtung an einem in das Gewehr einsteckbaren Einsatz angeordnet, der dieIn a particularly expedient embodiment, the biometric sensor and the adjusting device are arranged on an insert which can be plugged into the rifle and which holds the

Funktionsweise des Gewehrs blockieren und dadurch die unerlaubte Abgabe eines Schusses verhindern kann. Der Einsatz kann z.B. zum Einstecken in den Magazinschacht eines Gewehrs anstelle eines mit einer Abzugseinheit kombinierten Steckmagazins ausgebildet sein. Ein derartiges Steckmagazin mit integrierter Abzugseinheit ist in der DE 20 2006 003 351 U1 beschrieben, auf deren Offenbarungsgehalt ausdrücklich Bezug genommen wird. Bei einem Gewehr mit einem derartigen Steckmagazin mit integrierter Abzugseinheit kann mit Hilfe eines solchen biometrisch gesicherten Einsatzes nicht nur der Magazinschacht abgeschlossen und die Zuführung eines Magazins in den Magazinschacht durch nicht befugte Personen, sondern auch die Abgabe eines Schusses durch die Abzugseinheit verhindert werden. An dem Einsatz können auch weitere Sperrelemente wie z.B. Verschlussverriegelungen zur Verhinderung einer Betätigung des Verschlusses oder anderer funktionswesentlicher Teile vorgesehen sein. Um auch den Verschluss des Gewehres zu Sperren und die Zuführung von Einzelpatronen zu verhindern kann an dem Einsatz z.B. ein den Verschluss blockierendes Sperrelement vorgesehen werden, das die Betätigung des Verschlusses verhindert. In einer weiteren möglichen Ausführung kann der Biometriesensor z.B. auch an dem Pistolengriff eines Gewehrschafts oder an anderen Gewehrteilen angeordnet und über eine entsprechende Verbindung mit dem Stellelement und dem Verriegelungsmechanismus verbunden sein.Block the operation of the rifle and thereby prevent the unauthorized release of a shot. The insert can be designed, for example, for insertion into the magazine shaft of a rifle instead of a plug-in magazine combined with a trigger unit. Such a plug-in magazine with integrated withdrawal unit is in the DE 20 2006 003 351 U1 , the disclosure of which is expressly incorporated by reference. In a rifle with such a plug-in magazine with integrated trigger unit can be completed with the help of such a biometrically secure insert not only the magazine shaft and the feeding of a magazine in the magazine shaft by unauthorized persons, but also the delivery of a shot through the trigger unit. On the insert and other locking elements such as locking locks to prevent actuation of the closure or other functionally essential parts may be provided. In order to prevent the closure of the rifle to lock and the supply of single cartridges can be provided on the insert, for example, a closure blocking the blocking element, which prevents the operation of the closure. In a further possible embodiment, the biometric sensor can also be arranged, for example, on the pistol grip of a rifle shaft or on other rifle parts and connected via a corresponding connection to the adjusting element and the locking mechanism.

Der Verriegelungsmechanismus enthält zweckmäßigerweise am Einsatz angeordnete Verriegelungselemente zur arretierbaren Halterung des Einsatzes in einem Magazinschacht des Gewehrs. In vorteilhafter Weise kann der Verriegelungsmechanismus den Verriegelungselementen zugeordnete Sperrelemente aufweisen, die zwischen einer Sperrstellung zur Verhinderung einer Entnahme des Einsatzes aus dem Gewehr und einer Freigabestellung zur Entnahme des Einsatzes aus dem Gewehr bewegbar sind. Die Verstellung der Sperrelemente erfolgt zweckmäßigerweise durch die vorzugsweise als Stellantrieb ausgeführte Stelleinrichtung, wobei die Sperrstellung z.B. auf mechanische Weise beim Einstecken des Einsatzes in den Magazinschacht und die Freigabe bzw. Entriegelungsstellung durch die Stelleinrichtung bei Erkennung der ordnungsgemäßen Daten durch den Biometriesensor erreicht werden kann. Es ist aber auch möglich, dass sowohl die Verschiebung der Sperrelemente in die Freigabestellung als auch die Verschiebung der Sperrelemente in die Sperrstellung durch die Stelleinrichtung in Abhängigkeit von den durch den Biometriesensor ermittelten Daten erfolgt.The locking mechanism suitably contains locking elements arranged on the insert for locking the insert in a magazine shaft of the rifle in a lockable manner. Advantageously, the locking mechanism may include locking elements associated with the locking elements that are movable between a locking position to prevent removal of the insert from the rifle and a release position to remove the insert from the rifle. The adjustment of the locking elements is advantageously carried out by preferably designed as an actuator actuator, wherein the blocking position can be achieved for example in a mechanical manner when inserting the insert into the magazine shaft and the release or unlocking position by the adjusting device upon detection of the proper data by the biometric sensor. But it is also possible that both the displacement of the locking elements in the release position and the displacement of the locking elements in the blocking position by the adjusting device in dependence on the data determined by the biometric sensor.

Der Verriegelungsmechanismus kann auch den Verschluss oder andere funktionswesentlichen Teile des Gewehrs blockierende Sperrelemente enthalten. So kann z.B. an dem Einsatz ein Sperrelement für die Blockierung des Verschlusses vorgesehen sein. Das Sperrelement kann entweder aus einem stationären oder durch das Stellelement verschiebbaren Sperrriegel bestehen, der in den Verschluss des Gewehres eingreift und dessen Betätigung verhindert. Dadurch kann auch die Zuführung einzelner Patronen durch nicht autorisierte Personen verhindert werden.The locking mechanism may also include the closure or other functionally essential parts of the rifle blocking blocking elements. Thus, e.g. be provided on the insert a blocking element for blocking the closure. The locking element may consist either of a stationary or displaceable by the actuating element locking bolt which engages in the closure of the rifle and prevents its actuation. As a result, the supply of individual cartridges can be prevented by unauthorized persons.

In den Figuren 1 bis 6 ist ein erstes Ausführungsbeispiel einer Sicherungsvorrichtung zur Verhinderung einer unautorisierten Benutzung eines Gewehrs gezeigt. Die Sicherungsvorrichtung enthält einen in den Magazinschacht eines Gewehrs anstelle eines Magazins einsteckbaren Einsatz 1, der einen Verriegelungsmechanismus 2 zur lösbaren Fixierung des Einsatzes 1 innerhalb des Magazinschachts enthält. Bei der gezeigten Ausführung besteht der Einsatz 1 aus einem magazinförmigen Gehäuse, das ein Unterteil 3, ein auf dem Unterteil 3 befestigtes rahmenförmiges Oberteil 4 und eine nicht dargestellte obere Abdeckung umfasst. Das an die Form des Magazinschachts angepasste rahmenförmige Oberteil 4 besteht zweckmäßigerweise aus Kunststoff, während das Unterteil 3 aus Metall oder Kunststoff bestehen kann. Der Einsatz 1 kann aber auch einteilig aus Kunststoff oder einem anderen geeigneten Material hergestellt sein. Das Unterteil 3 ist derart ausgeführt, dass es beim Einstecken des Einsatzes 1 in den Magazinschacht dessen Öffnung in der fixierten Stellung verschließt.In the FIGS. 1 to 6 A first embodiment of a security device for preventing unauthorized use of a rifle is shown. The security device includes an insertable in the magazine shaft of a rifle instead of a magazine insert 1, which includes a locking mechanism 2 for releasably fixing the insert 1 within the magazine shaft. In the embodiment shown, the insert 1 consists of a magazine-shaped housing which comprises a lower part 3, a frame-shaped upper part 4 fastened on the lower part 3 and an upper cover, not shown. The adapted to the shape of the magazine shaft frame-shaped upper part 4 is suitably made of plastic, while the lower part 3 may consist of metal or plastic. The insert 1 can also be made in one piece from plastic or other suitable material. The lower part 3 is designed such that it closes when inserting the insert 1 in the magazine shaft whose opening in the fixed position.

Der Verriegelungsmechanismus 2 umfasst bei dem gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel zwei an den gegenüberliegenden Längsseiten des rahmenförmigen Oberteils 4 des Einsatzes 1 angeordnete, seitlich federnde Verriegelungselemente 5 mit äußeren oder inneren Verriegelungsansätzen 6 zum verrastenden Eingriff in entsprechende Gegenelemente am Gehäuse bzw. Systemkasten des Gewehrs. Die Verriegelungsansätze 6 sind derart ausgeführt, dass sie beim Einstecken des Einsatzes 1 in den Magazinschacht des Gewehrs selbsttätig in die dazugehörigen Gegenelemente am Gehäuse bzw. Systemkasten des Gewehrs einrasten und dadurch den Einsatz 1 innerhalb des Magazinschachts fixieren.The locking mechanism 2 comprises in the embodiment shown, two arranged on the opposite longitudinal sides of the frame-shaped upper part 4 of the insert 1, laterally resilient locking elements 5 with outer or inner locking lugs 6 for latching engagement in corresponding counter-elements on the housing or system box of the rifle. The locking lugs 6 are designed such that they automatically engage in the associated counter elements on the housing or system box of the rifle when inserting the insert 1 in the magazine shaft of the rifle and thereby fix the insert 1 within the magazine shaft.

Beim gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel sind die Verriegelungselemente 5 als am Oberteil 4 angeformte und durch Schlitze 7 abgeteilte, nach unten ragenden Verriegelungslaschen mit außenseitigen Griffstücken 8 an den nach unten vorstehenden Enden ausgeführt. Zur Entnahme des Einsatzes 1 können die gegenüberliegenden laschenförmigen Verriegelungselemente 5 durch Zusammendrücken der beiden Griffstücke 8 nach innen gedrückt werden, so dass die Verriegelungsansätze 6 außer Eingriff mit den entsprechenden Gegenelementen am Gehäuse bzw. Systemkasten gelangen und der Einsatz 1 aus dem Magazinschacht entnommen werden kann.In the illustrated embodiment, the locking elements 5 are designed as formed on the upper part 4 and divided by slots 7, downwardly projecting locking tabs with outside gripping pieces 8 at the downwardly projecting ends. For removal of the insert 1, the opposite tab-shaped locking elements 5 can be pressed by squeezing the two handles 8 inward, so that the locking lugs 6 out of engagement with the corresponding counter-elements on the housing or system box and the insert 1 can be removed from the magazine shaft.

Wie aus den Figuren 3 und 4 hervorgeht, enthält der Verriegelungsmechanismus 2 ferner einen an der Oberseite des Unterteils 3 angeordneten Sperrmechanismus mit zwei quer zur Längsrichtung des Einsatzes 1 in dem Unterteil 3 verschiebbar angeordneten Sperrelementen 9, die über einen in Figur 5 dargestellten Längsschieber 10 zwischen einer in Figur 3 gezeigten Sperrstellung und einer in Figur 4 dargestellten Freigabestellung bewegbar sind. Bei der in Figur 3 gezeigten Sperrstellung werden die beiden Sperrelemente 9 über den Längsschieber 10 nach Außen gegen die laschenförmigen Verriegelungselemente 5 gedrückt, wodurch ein Zusammendrücken der Verriegelungselemente 5 und damit eine unerwünschte Entnahme des Einsatzes 1 aus dem Magazinschacht verhindert wird. Zur Verschiebung der beiden Sperrelemente 9 weist der Längsschieber 10 in Figur 5 erkennbare keilförmige Stellflächen 11 zur Anlage an entsprechenden schrägen Gegenflächen 12 der Sperrelemente 9 auf. Bei der in Figur 4 gezeigten Lösestellung ist der Längsschieber 10 entsprechend Figur 5 dagegen zurückgezogen, so dass die Sperrelemente 9 durch die federnden Verriegelungselemente 5 oder eine gesonderte Rückstellfeder nach innen gedrückt werden.Like from the FIGS. 3 and 4 shows the locking mechanism 2 further comprises a arranged on the upper side of the lower part 3 locking mechanism with two transverse to Longitudinal direction of the insert 1 in the lower part 3 displaceably arranged locking elements 9, which has a in FIG. 5 shown longitudinal slide 10 between a in FIG. 3 shown blocking position and a in FIG. 4 shown release position are movable. At the in FIG. 3 shown blocking position, the two locking elements 9 are pushed over the longitudinal slide 10 to the outside against the tab-shaped locking elements 5, whereby a compression of the locking elements 5 and thus unwanted removal of the insert 1 is prevented from the magazine shaft. For displacement of the two locking elements 9, the longitudinal slide 10 in FIG. 5 recognizable wedge-shaped footprints 11 for contact with corresponding inclined mating surfaces 12 of the locking elements 9. At the in FIG. 4 shown release position of the longitudinal slide 10 is corresponding FIG. 5 pulled back, so that the locking elements 9 are pressed by the resilient locking elements 5 or a separate return spring inward.

An der Unterseite der Unterteils 3 ist ein in Figur 2 gezeigter Biometriesensor 13 zur Erfassung personenspezifischer biometrischer Daten angeordnet. Der Biometriesensor 13 kann z.B. als Fingerabdruckerkennungssensor oder als Sensor zur Erkennung anderer biometrischer Charakteristiken ausgebildet sein. In einer besonders zweckmäßigen Ausführung kann der Biometriesensor 13 als Zeilensensor ausgebildet sein, der durch Vorbeiführen des Fingers den Fingerabdruck Zeile für Zeile erfasst.At the bottom of the base 3 is an in FIG. 2 shown biometrics sensor 13 for detecting person-specific biometric data arranged. The biometric sensor 13 may be formed, for example, as a fingerprint recognition sensor or as a sensor for detecting other biometric characteristics. In a particularly expedient embodiment, the biometric sensor 13 may be designed as a line sensor which detects the fingerprint line by line by passing the finger.

Der Biometriesensor 13 ist mit einem in den Figuren 3, 4 und 6 schematisch dargestellten Logikbaustein 14 verbunden, der neben einer Speichereinheit zur Speicherung in einer Einlernphase eingelesener Referenzdaten auch einen Prozessor zum Vergleich der durch den Biometriesensor 13 erfassten Daten mit den Referenzdaten und zur Ansteuerung einer hier als Stellmotor oder Aktuator ausgeführten Stelleinrichtung 15 in Abhängigkeit des durch den Prozessor durchgeführten Datenvergleichs enthält. Der Logikbaustein 14 ist zusammen mit der Stelleinrichtung 15 und einer als Batterieeinheit ausgeführten Stromversorgungseinrichtung 16 auf der Bodenplatte 3 des Einsatzes 1 angebracht. Die Stromversorgungseinrichtung 16 zur Versorgung des Logikbausteins 14 und der Stelleinrichtung 15 kann aus einem Batteriefach mit einer oder mehreren Batterien bestehen. Die als Stellmotor oder Aktuator ausgeführte Stelleinrichtung 15 ist mit Längsschieber 10 verbunden. Durch entsprechende Ansteuerung des Stellelements 15 können die Sperrelemente 9 über den Längsschieber 10 zwischen der in Figur 3 gezeigten Sperrstellung und der in Figur 4 dargestellten Freigabestellung verschoben werden.The biometric sensor 13 is connected to a in the FIGS. 3, 4 and 6 schematically illustrated logic module 14, the next to a memory unit for storing in a learning phase read reference data also includes a processor for comparing the data detected by the biometric sensor 13 data with the reference data and for controlling a here designed as actuator or actuator actuator 15 as a function of by the processor performed data comparison. The logic module 14 is mounted on the bottom plate 3 of the insert 1 together with the adjusting device 15 and a power supply device 16 designed as a battery unit. The power supply device 16 for supplying the logic module 14 and the adjusting device 15 may consist of a battery compartment with one or more batteries. The adjusting device 15 designed as a servomotor or actuator is connected to a longitudinal slide 10. By appropriate control of the actuating element 15, the locking elements 9 via the longitudinal slide 10 between the in FIG. 3 shown blocking position and in FIG. 4 be moved shown release position.

Die Verschiebung des Längsschiebers 10 und damit die Verstellung der Sperrelemente 9 wird in Abhängigkeit vom Biometriesensor 13 gesteuert, der den Fingerabdruck oder andere geeignete biometrische Daten erfasst und diese an den Prozessor innerhalb des Logikbausteins 14 übermittelt. In dem Prozessor 11 werden die durch den Biometriesensor 13 erfassten Daten mit den in der Speichereinheit des Logikbaustein 14 abgespeicherten Referenzdaten verglichen. Dadurch kann erreicht werden, dass der Einsatz 1 nur von Personen entnommen oder eingesetzt werden kann, die mit Hilfe des Biometriesensors 13 und der zugehörigen Auswerteschaltung innerhalb des Logikbausteins 14 als autorisiert erkannt wurden.The displacement of the longitudinal slide 10 and thus the adjustment of the locking elements 9 is controlled in response to the biometric sensor 13, which detects the fingerprint or other suitable biometric data and transmitted to the processor within the logic module 14. In the processor 11, the data detected by the biometric sensor 13 are compared with the reference data stored in the memory unit of the logic module 14. It can thereby be achieved that the insert 1 can only be removed or used by persons who have been recognized as being authorized by means of the biometric sensor 13 and the associated evaluation circuit within the logic module 14.

In den Figuren 7 und 8 ist ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel einer Sicherungsvorrichtung gezeigt. Bei dieser Ausführung ist an dem Einsatz 1, der ansonsten wie bei der zuvor beschriebenen Ausführung aufgebaut ist, ein zusätzliches Sperrelement 17 für die Blockierung des Verschlusses vorgesehen. Das Sperrelement 17 kann entweder aus einem an dem Einsatz 1 fest angeordneten oder durch das Stellelement 15 verschiebbaren Sperrriegel 18 bestehen, der in den Verschluss des Gewehres eingreift und dessen Betätigung verhindert.
