Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of firearms and, more specifically, to safety devices and mechanisms for hunters or persons participating in hunts or on hunting preserve grounds.
  • the main object of the present invention is hunting safety equipment and a hunting safety procedure that increase hunters' safety by reducing the number of accidents caused by "friendly fire” between hunters positioned in the same line of fire, thereby saving a large number lives.
  • the present invention aims to solve the aforementioned technical problem by providing hunting safety equipment and an operating procedure for said equipment aimed at increasing the personal safety of hunters, persons who are working on and/or strolling through grounds where hunts are held or belonging to hunting preserves, and even of hunting dogs, and reduces "friendly fire” accidents to a minimum, i.e. fire between hunters in the same line of fire, thereby saving a large number of lives.
  • the hunting safety equipment object of the invention is destined for being carried by hunters, hunting dogs and/or persons participating in hunts or on hunting preserve grounds, said hunting safety equipment comprising an emitter device configured to emit electromagnetic signals; a receiver adapted to detect electromagnetic signals emitted by other hunters, hunting dogs and/or persons participating in hunts or on hunting preserve grounds also carrying the hunting safety equipment described herein; and alarm means, preferably acoustic and/or luminous, associated with the receiver device and adapted to become activated and alert the hunter in the event that said receiver device detects an electromagnetic signal emitted by another hunter, warning him that there is another hunter in the direction in which he is pointing his gun, due to which he must abort the shot.
  • the term "another hunter” shall be understood to be a secondary hunter, a person participating in a hunt or strolling through hunting preserve grounds, or even the hunting dogs.
  • the hunting safety equipment also comprises a GPS global positioning device which allows the hunter to establish his geographic position at all times, while the aforementioned emitter device comprises wireless transmitter means that include the hunter's geographic position (latitude, longitude and altitude) in the electromagnetic signal emitted.
  • Said wireless transmission means can be based on radio frequency (RF) transmission or on the use of the general packet radio service, better known as GPRS.
  • RF radio frequency
  • GPRS general packet radio service
  • the hunting safety equipment object of the invention will also include a device for estimating the orientation of the hunter's gun, adapted to calculate the direction of the shot, i.e. the direction in which the hunter is pointing his gun at any given time, and preferably coupled to the gun barrel.
  • said device for estimating the orientation of the gun comprises at least one device selected from among: an electronic compass, an accelerometer and a gyroscope, in accordance with the requirements and needs of each application and wherethrough it is possible to obtain greater accuracy and precision.
  • another version of the hunting safety equipment will only include a GPS device, transmitter and receiver devices and alarm means, without an orientation estimation device.
  • the emitter device comprises a directional transmitting antenna coupled to the hunter's gun barrel, adapted to emit electromagnetic signals only in the direction of fire, preferably at an angle comprised between ⁇ 5° and ⁇ 10° with respect to the line of fire, depending on the reach and characteristics of the gun; said emitter device also comprising a multidirectional antenna adapted to emit electromagnetic signals in all directions in the event that the receiver device of a secondary hunter receives electromagnetic signals from a first hunter, indicating that the secondary hunter is being pointed at by the first hunter.
  • said electromagnetic signals emitted will be radio frequency (RF) signals that include information about the hunters and identification data such as their licence plate number, personal identifier, etc., in order to identify the emitter of said signals.
  • RF radio frequency
  • these can also be audible or luminous, such as a laser beam, where each hunter must be equipped in this specific case with a vest or fabric especially adapted to detect said light beams.
  • a much simpler version of the hunting safety equipment will only include transmitter and receiver devices and alarm means, without a directional emitting antenna.
  • the emitter device comprises a multidirectional antenna adapted to emit electromagnetic signals in all directions
  • the receiver device preferably comprises a directional receiving antenna coupled to the hunter's gun barrel, adapted to receive only electromagnetic signals in the gun's direction of fire so that the other signals received by the hunter do not affect his decision as to whether or not to fire the shot.
  • a simpler version of the hunting safety equipment of the present invention will only include transmitter and receiver devices and alarm means, without a directional receiving antenna.
  • the hunting safety device described herein can also comprise means for disabling a gun's trip function in the event that the alarm means become activated, indicating that there is another hunter in a hunter's line of fire.
  • the hunting safety equipment can also comprise data storage means for saving and recording the hunters' identification data, positions, distances, dates, times or miscellaneous information that could aid a possible investigation in the event of an accident.
  • the hunting safety equipment of the present invention is applicable both to hunts and hunting preserves and to State security forces (army, police, etc.), and even to leisure and recreational activities such as paintball.
  • the hunting safety equipment (1) destined for being carried by hunters (3, 3'), hunting dogs and/or persons participating in hunts or on hunting preserve grounds comprises:
  • the emitter device (10) comprises a directional emitting antenna (12) coupled to the hunter's (3) gun (2) barrel, adapted to emit RF electromagnetic signals (11) only in the gun's direction of fire (2), but no GPS device (40) or device for estimating the orientation (50) of the gun (2); and a multidirectional antenna (13) adapted to emit electromagnetic response signals (11') in all directions in the event that the receiver device (20) receives electromagnetic signals (11) from the first hunter (3).
  • FIGS. 3A and 3B show schematic views of the third preferred embodiment of the hunting safety equipment (1), where in this case the emitter device (10) comprises, in addition to the alarm means (30), a multidirectional antenna (13) adapted to emit electromagnetic signals (11) in all directions; and where the receiver device (20) comprises a directional receiving antenna (21) coupled to the hunter's (3) gun (2) barrel, adapted to detect electromagnetic signals (11) in the gun's (2) direction of fire.
  • the emitter device (10) comprises, in addition to the alarm means (30), a multidirectional antenna (13) adapted to emit electromagnetic signals (11) in all directions; and where the receiver device (20) comprises a directional receiving antenna (21) coupled to the hunter's (3) gun (2) barrel, adapted to detect electromagnetic signals (11) in the gun's (2) direction of fire.
  • the operating procedure comprises:
  • stage a1) is executed by means of a GPS global positioning device (40) and wireless transmission means (14).
  • stage a2) is executed by at least one device for estimating the orientation (50) of the gun (2) selected from among: an electronic compass, an accelerometer and a gyroscope.
  • the operating procedure for the hunting safety equipment (1) comprises:
  • stage b1) is executed by means of a directional emitting antenna (12) coupled to the gun (2) barrel, said directional emitting antenna (12) emitting electromagnetic signals (11) at an angle of ⁇ 5° with respect to the line of fire, as shown in figure 2B , said signals including the hunter's (3) identification data.
  • said electromagnetic signal (11) emitted in said stage b1) will be a luminous signal by means of a laser beam.
  • the operating procedure comprises:
  • stages a3), b3) and c2) are executed by means of acoustic and/or audible alarm means.
  • electromagnetic signals (11) in the three previously described embodiments, it has been envisaged that these can be radio frequency (RF) signals, GPRS signals, ultrasonic signals or a light source.
