Abstract

Sports or practice firing installation comprising a firing control station 1 and a firing position 2 equipped with at least one weapon 3 such as a pistol or a revolver, comprising an electrical control circuit or circuit for authorizing firing, this installation being characterised in that the electrical circuit of the weapon can only be powered when authorized by at least one safety device 6 which is independent from the said weapon, and located in the firing control station. Application to sports or practice firing.

Description

 The use of shooting weapons can be dangerous, but the shooters must nevertheless be able to train on risky evenings.

the directors of the shooting companies force the shooters to acquire the necessary security reflexes, and we hesitate to let beginners handle certain weapons, thus depriving themselves of new talents
The weapons certainly include a safety device, but it is precisely on or in the weapon and at the discretion of the shooter, who can commit negligence, or have malicious gestures.

 The object of the invention is to improve security in tall buildings for sport and / or training shooting.

 The installation comprises a fire control station and a firing point equipped with at least one weapon, such as a pistol, a revolver or a rifle, incorporating an electric circuit for controlling or authorizing fire. According to the invention, the installation is characterized in that the electrical circuit of the weapon can only be supplied by permission of a security organ independent of said weapon and if killed in the firing direction station, such so that without proper operation of the safety device by an authorized person, the weapon cannot in any way function and that it remains blocked inert.

 Thus, the shooting can only be carried out if two safety devices are operated, one by the shooter, the other by an authorized person, such as a monitor responsible at a distance from said shooting At any time in the event of improper maneuver of the shooter, the monitor can prohibit shooting. It is possible to provide a security number greater than two.

 The safeties arranged in series can be linked together by a flexible electric wire, or by wireless means such as radio, ultrasound, intra-red. The electric wire connects the weapon to the shooting range and to the shooting management station.

 The security device located in the firing management station includes a switch which is itself equipped with a security system which can only be operated using a personalized means such as a key or magnetic card.

 In the installation, the weapon is supplied with low voltage current which is not normally used, for example 27 volts or 32 volts.

 Tear has an internal electrical circuit which includes soles or or another equivalent means, excitable only by an external security organ, said solenoid allowing the supply of ammunition and, possibly, the start of the coup.

 To make the invention easier to understand, an embodiment of the invention is given below, by way of example.

 In this diagram, rectangle 1 represents the firing management station, 2 the firing point, 3 the weapon, 4 the electric wire, 5 the current source, 6 the security organ of the firing station, 7 l safety device for the launch pad, 8 the solenoid.

 It is easily understood that the members 6 and 7 (switches) must be closed so that the current flows and allows the shooter to operate his weapon. In the normal position, the members 6 and 7 are open, and they must be activated voluntarily, and by two different people, so that the current flows.

 In a simplified installation, 1 member 7 can be removed.
