Description

Firearm

Technical area

The invention relates to a firearm with an optically perceptible safety marking provided on the firearm for the clear identification of the safety status of the firearm.

State of the art

To prevent unintentional firing, firearms are fitted with a firearm safety device. A wide variety of firearm safety devices are known, for example manual safety devices for blocking a trigger path, blocking a trigger rod, blocking a striker, blocking a firing pin or firing pin, etc. or a combination thereof, trigger safety devices, grip safety devices, safety hand cocks or cocking slides or hand cocks, Release levers, and the like.

Disadvantageously, the safety in use of firearms is currently of comparatively low importance. This is comparatively surprising, especially since the firearm safety device, whether pushed, turned, pressed, etc., ensures safety before and after the shot and is therefore the most important safety component of a firearm. It is irrelevant whether it is a trigger safety, manual cocking, cocking slide, etc., a clear identification of the security status or condition of the firearm is mandatory for every handling of a firearm in order to avoid accidents, injuries, etc. For the clear identification of the safety status of the firearm, these usually have an optical safety marking. Known security markings are often implemented as a character of the alphabetical alphabet, namely as S and / o the F, or as a point, for example in white or red. Such security markings are understandable, recognizable and known to the gun carrier.

As an alternative to optical safety markings, electronic displays for the safety status of a firearm are also known (US666405A). Electronic to show are often rejected by the weapon manufacturers or weapon carriers due to the susceptibility to errors and maintenance intensity and dependence on an external electrical energy source, such as a battery.

Presentation of the invention

It is therefore the object of the invention to change the design of a firearm known from the prior art in such a way that it is still safer with known handling. In addition, this structurally modified firearm should have a high level of stability.

The invention achieves the stated problem in that the security marking is designed to be phosphorescent and / or fluorescent and / or radioluminescent and / or bioluminescent. In contrast to the currently known safety markings on firearms, this means that the weapon carrier can be provided with a clear visual indication of the safety status of his firearm at any time and regardless of external influences. The safety marking according to the invention thus makes the safety status of his firearm always visible to the weapon wearer, whereby the handling of the firearm is also safer. The security marking is preferably phosphorescent in order to be able to visually perceive it clearly not only in daylight but also in difficult visual conditions. Moreover, this without impairing the handling of the firearm. Due to the new design of the safety marking, the handling of the firearm remains the same. The security marking differs significantly from known, optically perceptible security markings in terms of recognizability / visibility, which means that known, complex and mostly error-prone electronic displays etc. on the firearm can be avoided.

This security marking according to the invention can thus make a decisive contribution to increasing the security of firearms, for example in the private sector, hunting, professional, hobby, sports, government weapons or in the military sector. The security marking according to the invention can in particular improve stress management when handling firearms and provide the best possible support and thus also protect the weapon carrier. The number of accidents in the handling of firearms can therefore be minimized.

In general, a security marking can be designed as a point, a square, a rectangle, a ring, a letter or other characters or symbols or a combination thereof. A firearm can be, for example, a firearm, a handgun, a handgun, a compressed air weapon, a pistol, a long weapon, a rocket launcher, etc.

In general, it is also mentioned that fluorescent or fluorescence can be understood to mean an optically perceptible emission of light only during excitation. In contrast, phosphorescent or phosphorescence can be understood to mean an optically perceptible light output that is also present after excitation, which is also often referred to as luminescent.

Radioluminescent or radioluminescence can be understood to mean any luminescence excited by radioactive radiation, which leads to an optically perceptible emission of light. Also, bioluminescent or bioluminescence can be understood to mean an optically perceptible emission of light due to a conversion of chemical energy of a biological system. The security of the firearm can be further improved if the security marking has a first phosphorescent and / or fluorescent and / or radio-luminescent and / or bioluminescent layer. In addition, a layer can ensure uniform brightness, for example, which can increase the visibility of the security marking.

The visibility of the security marking can be further improved if the first layer has phosphorescent and / or fluorescent pigments, in particular inorganic pigments, in a binder. In addition, the robustness of the security marking can be further increased on the basis of the binding agent. Inorganic pigments from the group of the aluminates are preferably suitable as phosphorescent pigments. Other afterglow pigments (phosphorescent pigments) are conceivable. Fluorescent pigments with trium are also conceivable.

The binder, in particular a plastic base, preferably has an epoxy resin base or acrylic base in order to enable high resistance, for example to humidity, UV radiation, oils and fats, creams, tannin residues, sulfur compounds, skin sweat, etc. .

If the first layer is formed by curing a low-viscosity and / or filler-free binder with mixed-in pigments, a high concentration of phosphorescent and / or fluorescent pigments can be made possible in the first layer. The safety marking according to the invention can therefore be distinguished by a particularly high luminosity.

The risk of corrosion can be reduced if the security marking has a protective layer which covers the first layer.

If a lacquer layer or a transparent layer forms the protective layer, this can improve the resistance of the security marking Continue to contribute to environmental influences. A clear lacquer is preferably a clear lacquer or a transparent layer as the lacquer layer. In addition, the protective layer can have an alkyd resin base or a polyester base.

The security marking is preferably provided on a, in particular white, for example titanium white, second layer on the firearm. This can not only increase the visibility of the security marking, but also protect this security marking and / or the base material of the firearm from corrosion. The first layer of the security marking is preferably provided on the second layer. This second layer can also act as a primer on the firearm.

The firearm preferably has a recess in which the safety marking is provided in order to be able to protect it against mechanical abrasion, for example. This increases the stability of the safety marking on the firearm - even when the firearm is handled intensively.

If the recess has a dovetail shape or a rectangular shape or a triangular shape or a semicircular shape in cross section, this can facilitate the provision of the security mark. In addition, a dovetail shape can be used to firmly attach the safety marking to the firearm.

It is conceivable that the security marking is applied to the firearm in layers. In this case, the binder of the first layer preferably has an acrylic base.

Alternatively, it is also conceivable that the safety marking is attached to the firearm by means of an adhesive. The adhesive preferably has an epoxy resin base. In this case, the binder of the first layer preferably has an epoxy resin base. Another plastic base is also conceivable. The security marking is preferably in one piece. This means that the one-piece Security marking designed in one or more layers or thus also consisting of several firmly connected parts.

The adhesive preferably has white, for example titanium white, pigments in order to increase the visibility of the security marking.

The safety of the firearm can also be further increased by a safety marking if this safety marking is haptically perceptible. A haptic response can be conveyed to a weapon carrier if the surface of the protective layer can be haptically perceived differently in comparison with the subsequent surface of the firearm.

It is also conceivable that the security marking has a tritium gas light source so that it is designed to be radioluminescent. It is also conceivable that the security marking has a radioactive substance, for example tritium, a tritium compound and / or promethium salt, in order to make the security marking radioluminescent. By stimulating this radioactive substance, fluorescent particles or substances can be illuminated to emit light.

The security marking advantageously has a firearm safety device, in particular a manual one, with the security marking. This gun safety device preferably has a safety hand cock or cocking slide or hand cock, a safety lever or a safety wheel, etc. The firearms safety is preferably a mechanical one.

The safety marking is preferably on a housing, in particular a basin and / or washer, a housing system, a system, a system box, a handle, a handle, a shaft or piston, a trigger guard, a lock, slide, a safety lever, a safety slide, one Safety pusher, a release lever, a barrel, a pipe and / or provided on egg nem safety hand clamp or cocking slide or hand clamp.

The firearm can be distinguished in particular in that only that safety marking that corresponds to the state of the weapon is optically recognizable for the clear identification of the safety status of the firearm. This in that the firearm is designed to optically conceal the safety marking indicating either a safe state of the firearm or a firearm that is ready to be fired when the safety state of the firearm changes. For example, when the security status changes to ready to fire, the security marking indicating a safe status of the firearm is covered by the firearm.

When the security state changes to safe, the security mark indicating the safe state of the firearm is optically released from the firearm.

This means that the weapon carrier can always clearly see whether the firearm is in a safe state or in a state ready to fire.

This concealment of the security marking can take place with the aid of a movable part of the firearm. For this purpose, the firearm has a movable part, depending on the position of which the security marking is optically covered. For example, in that the safety marking is optically covered after a movable part of the firearm has been moved. For example, when the safety status is changed to ready to fire, the safety marking indicating the safe status of the firearm is covered by the movable part (e.g. safety lever) or by another part of the firearm (e.g. safety slide or safety hand cock) becomes.

Thus, depending on the position of the movable part, that security marking can be covered whose display does not correspond to the state of the firearm. For the gun carrier, the firearm is always in a safe state clearly. In addition, this solution is comparatively easy to implement structurally. The moving part preferably belongs to the firearm safety device.

Preferably, the safety lever, the release lever, the safety slide, the safety pusher or the safety manual tensioner or tensioning slide or manual tensioner or the safety wheel, safety wheel, safety rocker, safety selector lever form the movable part. The movable part can belong to the gun safety device and, for example, be a wing, lever, slide or rotary element with which the gun safety device is operated. The movement of the part can be pushing, rotating, pushing, pivoting, etc.

The movable part is preferably designed to operate the firearm safety device. As a result, the state of the firearm can be changed by, preferably mechanical, actuation of the movable part.

It is also conceivable that the firearm is designed to optically conceal a safety marking when the safety status of the firearm changes and to optically release another safety marking whose displayed state of the firearm differs from the state of the firearm displayed by a safety marking. Thus, for example, the weapon carrier can always be given a clear indication of the two safety states of the firearm, namely a safe state of the firearm or a firearm ready state. This further simplifies the handling of the firearm. This is preferably done by moving a movable part, for example the firearm safety device. In this way, it can preferably also be made possible that only one safety marking is optically released on the firearm, in particular that which shows the current state of the firearm.

The security marking is preferably provided for the safe state of the firearm. The security marking is preferably made in one piece, which increases the stability and can also facilitate the handling of the security marking. This one-piece design can be made possible, for example, by an injection molding, printing, lamination process, etc.

The security marking is preferably designed in one layer. For example, the security marking can be made in one layer by an injection molding process.

The security marking is preferably formed in several layers. For example, the security marking can be formed by a layered structure. Conceivable for this are touching processes (such as printing processes, lamination processes or with the aid of painting tools such as brushes, etc.) or non-touching processes (such as spraying processes, etc.). There is also a multi-layer structure through an injection molding process. Multi-component injection molding, back injection processes, etc. are conceivable for this.

Way of carrying out the invention

According to Fig. 1, for example, a firearm 1, namely pistol 1 .1, is shown according to a first embodiment. This pistol has, inter alia, a slide or breech block 2, a housing 3 with a handle 4, a trigger 5, a flahn 6 and a manual firearm safety device 7, which is designed as a mechanical firearm safety device 7.

This firearm safety device 7 prevents a shot from being fired via a locking element which is provided on the firearm 1 and is not shown in FIG. 1 by mechanically blocking the function of the firearm 1. In general, such a manual safety device blocks the trigger path. It can act on different parts of the trigger, such as the trigger blade, the trigger rod or the striking device. A wide variety of firearm safety devices 7 are known from the prior art, for example grip safety, decelerator or manual firearm safety, such as a safety selector lever, 3-way wing safety, slide safety, wheel safety, rocker safety, etc.

By actuating a safety lever 8 of the, namely manuel len in this example, firearm safety device 7, the firearm 1 can be transferred from a safe state to a ready-to-fire state. To clearly identify the security status of the firearm 1, the firearm safety device 7 has a safety marking 9.1, namely the alphabetical character or the letter S according to FIG. 1, which indicates to the weapon carrier that the firearm 1 is mechanically blocked and a shot is mechanically impeded . The firearm 1 is therefore in a safe or secured state. In addition, the safety marking 9.1 can be seen on the firearm 1 when the Safety lever 8 is in the lower position, the safety position 8.1. The hedging lever 8 can alternatively be designed as a release lever 21.

The security of the firearm 1 is considerably increased according to the invention in that the security marking 9.1, 9.2 is designed to be phosphorescent and / or fluorescent and / or radioluminescent. The safety status of the firearm 1 is clearly indicated to the weapon carrier by the passive light emission (for example in white, green, blue, etc.) of the safety markings 9.1, 9.2, and the light emission clearly indicates. The weapon carrier is thus always aware of the security status of his firearm 1 or is certain of it. In addition, a weapon carrier with such a safety marking 9.1, 9.2 is familiar, so that the handling of the firearm 1 does not have to be changed in order to increase the safety of the firearm 1. This safety marking 9.1, 9.2 can be a point, a square, a rectangle, a ring, a letter or other characters or symbols or a combination thereof.

As shown in FIG. 2a, the phosphorescent and / or fluorescent and / or radioluminescent and / or bioluminescent property of the security marking 9.1 applied in multiple layers is created by a first phosphorescent and / or fluorescent and / or radioluminescent or bioluminescent layer 10.

This first layer 10 is formed by curing a low-viscosity and filler-free binder 10.2 with an epoxy resin base in which phosphorescent and / or fluorescent pigments 10.1 are mixed. The security marking 9.1 can thus have a particularly high luminosity. This ensures a particularly high, for example passive, light emission or light output at the safety marking 9.1 and further increases the safety of the firearm 1. The pigments 10.1 for this preferably phosphorescent layer 10 are, for example, inorganic and preferably from the group of the aluminates or other afterglow pigments. For a radioluminescent layer, for example, the luminescent particles of the layer tritium can be imagined as a radioactive radiator. A further layer forms a titanium-white second layer 11 on which the first layer 10 is applied directly. The second layer 11, which is a primer, improves inter alia the phosphorescence and / or fluorescence but also acts as a protection against corrosion, in particular for the inorganic pigments 10.1 of the first layer 10.

The first layer 10 is also protected against corrosion and abrasion by a directly applied protective layer 13. A protective lacquer, in particular a clear lacquer, is used as the protective layer 13. The protective layer preferably has an alkyd resin base.

As can be seen in FIG. 2a, the security marking 9.1 is provided in a recess 14.1 on the firearm 1, which particularly protects this security marking 9.1 against abrasion. Alternatively, an elevation (not shown) can also be used.

According to FIG. 2a, the security marking 9.1 is applied in several layers in the recess 14.1 layer by layer, for example with a painting tool, not shown, such as a brush. In this case, the binding agent 10.2 of the first layer 10 of the security marking 9.1 has an acrylic base. The recess 14.1 has a dovetail shape in cross section, which leads to an undercut by means of which the security marking 9.1 is held firmly in place in the recess 14.1.

According to FIG. 2b, a safety marking 9.2 can be seen which is inserted in a recess 14.2 with a rectangular cross section and protrudes from the adjoining surface 22 of the firearm 1. The security marking 9.2 is attached to the firearm 1 by means of an adhesive 15, for example. However, this can also be positively connected to the firearm, which has not been shown. This security marking 9.2 has a multilayer structure. The first layer 10 of the security marking 9.2 is, in contrast to the security marking 9.1 of FIG. 2a encapsulated by the protective layer 13. However, it is also conceivable, which is not shown here, that this security marking 9.2 is produced in one layer by an injection molding process.

According to FIG. 2c, a security marking 9.3 can also be seen, which is fastened with adhesive 15 in the recess 14.2. The adhesive 15 has titanium white pigments and is applied in the manner of a primer in the recess 14.2. The adhesive 15 increases the brightness of the security marking 9.3.

According to FIGS. 2d, 2e, 2f, radioluminescent security markings 9.4, 9.5, 9.6 are shown, which have a tritium gas light source 23. As is known, a tritium gas light source 23 has a glass container, for example made of borosilicate glass, which container is provided on the inside with a luminous means (for example phosphor) and is filled with tritium.

According to Fig. 2d a glued into the recess 14.2 tritium gas light source 23 is provided. The adhesive 15 for this purpose has titanium-white pigments.

According to FIG. 2e, the tritium gas light source 23 is provided in a binding agent 10.2, preferably with an epoxy resin base, and is glued into the recess 14.2 via an adhesive 15 in the same way as according to FIG. 2d.

According to FIG. 2f, the tritium gas light source 23 is provided in a layer 10 which has a binder 10.2 and mixed-in phosphorescent and / or fluorescent pigments 10.1. This layer 10 is also covered by a protective layer 13 abge.

Instead of the tritium gas light source 23, it is also conceivable that a radioactive substance is added to the binder with the phosphorescent and / or fluorescent pigments 10.1. Tritium, a tritium compound and / or promethium salt, for example, are suitable as radioactive substances. Zinc sulfide, for example, can be used as the fluorescent Pig elements 10.1 in this case.

In contrast to the security marking 9.1 applied in layers on the firearm 1 according to FIG. 2a, the other security markings 9.2 to 9.6 In one piece and attached to the firearm 1 via an adhesive 15, etc. fastened. This one-piece design, for example through an injection molding process, can be single-layer or multi-layer. A multi-layer structure can be created, for example, by multi-component injection molding.

The security marking 9.1 to 9.6 can also be applied to an elevation of the firearm 1, which is not shown here.

In the case of security markings 9.2 to 9.6 attached to the firearm 1 via adhesive 15, the binder 10.2 of the first layer 10 is based on an epoxy resin.

By means of a protective layer 13 that is set back in this exemplary embodiment, the security marking 9.1 can also be perceived comparatively well by touch. The surface 13.1 of the protective layer 13 also has a different haptic perceptibility than the adjoining surfaces 22 of the firearm 1, which additionally reinforces the haptic impression of the security marking 9.1.

According to FIG. 3, a firearm 1, namely a long weapon 1 .2 with a shaft or piston 16, is shown according to a second embodiment. In contrast to the pistol 1 .1 according to FIG. 1, this long gun 1 .2 has a breech block 17 with a safety hand cock 18 or cocking slide or hand cock as a firearm safety device 7. This safety hand tensioner or tensioning slide or hand tensioner 18 is located in the lower position, the locking position 18.1. This security situation is clearly visually perceptible by the security marking 9.1. There is therefore a clear identification of the safety status of the firearm 1 or long weapon 1 .2.

With the tensioning of the safety hand tensioner 18 or tensioning slide or hand tensioning device or the movement of the safety hand tensioning device 18 or tensioning slide or hand tensioning device in the direction of the barrel 19, the safety marking 9.1, for example in the form of an S, covered, whereby the firearm 1 is cocked and unlocked at the same time and thus ready to fire.

According to Fig. 4, a firearm 1, namely an assault rifle 1 .3, is shown according to a third embodiment. This firearm has a safety slide 20 which mechanically blocks the actuation of the trigger unit 5. The safety marking 9.1 according to the invention in the form of a point, for example a white, is provided on the safety slide, whereby the safety status of the firearm 1 can be clearly seen. If the safety slide 20 is moved in order to transfer the firearm 1 .3 from a safe state to a ready-to-fire state, the firearm 1 or its parts, namely the housing 3, covers the safety marking 9.1, which indicates the safe state of the weapon. The safety status of the firearm 1 is therefore clear to the weapon carrier. This, in which the firearm 1 is formed, in the event of a change in the safety state of the firearm 1, the safety marking 9.1 indicating a safe state (point) of the firearm 1 is optically covered, namely by moving the movable part 25, namely of the safety slide 20, which will visually cover the safety marking 9.1. The movable part 25 thus belongs to the firearm safety device, the safety state of the firearm 1 being changed based on the movement of the movable part 25, namely the safety slide 20.

Other movable parts 25 of the firearm 1 are conceivable for this purpose, such as a safety lever 8 according to FIG. 1, a release lever 21 according to FIG. 1 or a safety manual tensioner 18 or cocking slide or flange tensioner according to FIG. 3 or a locking wheel, not shown Safety wheels, safety rocker, safety selector wheel or a rocker etc.

Comparable with the safety slide 20 according to FIG. 4, the safety lever 8 according to FIG. 1 as a movable part 25 of the gun safety device, namely the manual gun safety device here, belongs to. Based on the movement of the movable part 25, namely the safety lever 8, the safety state of the firearm 1 is changed.

However, it is also conceivable that when the safety status changes (for example from a safe state to a firearm ready to fire) another safety marking 9.7 (e.g. F), which is different from the one safety marking in the state of the firearm 1 9.1, 9.2, 9.3, 9.4, 9.5, 9.6 (e.g. S) differentiates, optically releases. This is explained in more detail with reference to Fig. 5a:

If the safety lever 8 is now moved from the safety position 8.1 into another position 8.2, namely the firing position 8.2 - that is, upwards - it covers the safety marking 9.1 for the safe state of the firearm 1. As a result, another safety marking 9.7, for example F, a red point, etc. for feuerbe ready, optically released. The various states of the firearm 1 are thus clearly visually recognizable for a weapon carrier. With the clear identification of the security state of the firearm 1, this is particularly easy to handle for the weapon carrier. This also regardless of the attitude and / or position of the firearm 1.

It is also conceivable that all security markings 9.1, 9.2, 9.3, 9.4, 9.5, 9.6, 9.7 of the firearm 1 are phosphorescent and / or fluorescent and / or radioluminescent and / or bioluminescent. As a result, the weapon can be handled without stress, in particular thanks to the reliable readability and clarity of the display.

For this purpose, only the safety marking 9.1, 9.2, 9.3, 9.4, 9.5, 9.6, which indicates the safe state of the weapon or firearm, is preferably designed to be phosphorescent and / or fluorescent and / or radioluminescent and / or bioluminescent.

The security marking 9.1, 9.2, 9.3, 9.4, 9.5, 9.6 or 9.7 preferably belongs to the manual firearm safety device 7. According to Fig. 5b, a further alternative embodiment of a weapon safety device 7 is Darge provides. Here, the safety lever 7 has a passively luminescent point, line or other position marking 24, etc., so that its position can be recognized. On the basis of the inventive safety marking 9.1, 9.2, 9.3, 9.4, 9.5, 9.6, 9.7, taking into account the safety position 8.1 or firing position 8.2 of the safety lever 7 or another movable part of the firearm 1, the state of the firearm 1 is clear for the weapon carrier recognizable. This also regardless of the attitude and / or position of the firearm 1.
