Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to hand-held multi-shot firing devices and mainly to non-lethal weapons or non-lethal weapons (OND) with an electric means of hitting the target DESHO (remote stun guns).

State of the art

As a prototype, a multicharged OND with an electric means of hitting a target US 2007/0081292 was chosen, which is a 3-charge pistol that strikes targets with an electric pulse from a high-voltage generator located in the weapon, by wire fired from cartridges. In this case, the cartridge has two pulling wires of the projectile with wires in one housing with a common source of energy for throwing.

Such a weapon has the following disadvantages: All cartridges are rigidly connected to the weapon by means of a mechanical latch and after the shot are not separated from the weapon. This significantly limits the ability to quickly and accurately fire a second shot if the next target appears behind the user of the weapon or in the plane behind the wires already stretching to the first target. The wires reaching for the first target do not allow the user to turn with the weapon toward the target that appeared behind his back, because this is hindered by strong wires fixed by probes with harpoons at the ends on the clothes of the first target. These wires interfere with the physical rotation of the shooter and aiming, since the strength and elasticity of the wires prevents the weapon from aiming at the target. In addition, the lines from the previous shot may appear on the line of the next shot, which will inevitably change the trajectory of the probes of the new shot and they simply will not hit the target even with the appropriate guidance on it.

In the same way, the wires of the previous shot will deflect the flight path of the probes of the next shot when the next target appears in the plane behind the wires stretching to the first target. The considered weapon has dimensions that almost completely exclude its hidden carrying, and does not have the ability to use other ammunition than cartridges equipped with an electric wire.

As an analogue, a multiply-charged weapon was selected according to the patent of the Russian Federation No. 2305245, in which electric wires are tagged with a pyrotechnic energy source for remote target destruction. An electric shock occurs when two projectile projectiles (probes) are fixed on an object, each of which is connected by an electric wire to the corresponding front contact of a unitary cartridge (RF No. 2308668), which in turn is supplied with voltage from a high-voltage generator located in the device. The cartridges are placed in the clip of the weapon, and when firing the wires are removed from the weapon for the next shot.

The weapon in question has the main drawback, which is that it has large dimensions that exceed those of hand-held short-barreled firearms and traumatic short-barreled non-lethal weapons or barrel-free firearms. The weapon has dimensions that almost completely exclude its hidden wearing, for example, in an axillary holster, a waist holster, hidden under clothes, on the ankle of the foot for use in special power services, and excludes its use as a civilian self-defense weapon for men, especially and for women, whose clothes in most cases exclude the carrying of marker weapons on the body and handbags.

In addition, the dimensions of the analog are so large that they create inconvenience even when worn over uniforms (for example, police) in a special holster.

The weapon in question has the form of a pistol and, therefore, its sudden use is impossible, since removing the weapon in the form of a pistol forces an aggressive-minded enemy to immediately use his weapon.

The weapon in question does not have the ability to use other types of ammunition, except for cartridges equipped with an electric wire or annoying gas, as the pusher 4 (see Figure 1 and Figure 2 in the patent of the Russian Federation No. 2305245), perceiving recoil when fired at its midpoint between when using, for example, cartridges equipped with a stronger charge than necessary for throwing wires, and with a more massive projectile than a probe (for example, a bullet), it deforms with its shoulders, which completely excludes further operation of the weapon.

Another important drawback of the described weapon, the electric circuit of which is made according to standard schemes of stun guns with a high voltage generator according to the voltage multiplier circuit or a high voltage generator with transformer output or with preionization (see RF patent No. 2305246), is the appearance of capacitive potential on all elements of the electric circuit in the case of non-hit (or non-simultaneous hit) of one of the striking electrodes in the target.

If one of the striking probes hits a target with a capacitance of about 80 pF (standard electrical capacitance of the human body), this capacitor charges and simultaneously charges the user's body capacitance. In this regard, between the weapon and the user's body (the hand holding the weapon), a potential difference of capacitive coupling arises, amounting to a voltage of 5-10 kV. When the open circuit voltage of the device is about 50 kV (i.e., the standard open circuit voltage of most weapons with an electric weapon), the capacitive coupling voltage is about 7-10 kV. Such a voltage can pierce the air distance or form a surface discharge along the elements of the housing of the stun device at a distance of 10 mm or more.

At the same time, there is a significant probability of electrical breakdown of low-voltage circuit elements, for example, transistors and capacitors, of a converter by a capacitive discharge. But the main drawback of the described weapon is that when a capacitive discharge breaks out of current-carrying circuit elements onto the user's body (arm), the user feels an electric shock of medium strength. The user develops a syndrome of the so-called fear of his own weapon, similar to a user’s fear of firearms with excessive painful returns or an extremely loud sound of a shot. Fear of their own weapons makes normal aiming impossible, so the user expects pain in advance. The effectiveness of such weapons, regardless of its striking properties, as practice has shown, tends to zero.

Since the described weapon has a sufficient number of openings in the body (for example, the output of a fuse, a trigger, a battery charge plug, a laser target indicator (LCC), etc.) when it is used, if only one probe hits the target, a user will be hit by a capacitive discharge .

Disclosure of invention

The implementation of the invention

The universal multi-charge hand weapon according to the present invention comprises a housing 1, a power source, a voltage converter, a high-voltage generator, a trigger element 8, and cartridges with an appropriate charge. The weapon is made dual-shot in the form of two pairs of cartridges with electric wires mounted motionless at the position of the shot, one pair of which is made with the possibility of automatic extraction when releasing the trigger element during the initial shot with switching voltage to the second pair of the mentioned cartridges.

Figure 1 shows a General view of the weapon without cartridges. In the housing 1, made of electrical insulating material, with high impact strength (for example, nylon-6, polycarbonate), pockets 2 for non-ejectable cartridges and pockets 3 for ejectable cartridges separated by a partition 4, in the end of which the fighting electrodes are fixed 5. Between the pockets 3 ejected cartridges is located movable relative to the housing 1 ledge-cock 6 of the manual cock, having the ability to move in the through groove of the wall of the housing 1 and emerging through the groove on the outer surface of the housing 1.

Between pockets 2 (or cartridges of said second pair) for non-ejected cartridges, a target illumination device 7 is located. This device 7 can be made in the form of a quick-detachable separate unit inserted into the aforementioned housing, and it can be made in the form of a laser target indicator or LED, or an incandescent lamp.

In the middle part of the housing 1 is a trigger element 8 with a fuse-switch 9. At the end of the housing 1 is a compartment 10 of the battery or accumulator (power source).

Figure 2 shows a General view of the weapon with ammunition. Cartridges 11 (four cartridges) are inserted into the cartridge pockets, which are fixed in the housing 1 by spring clips 12 (four clips, the lower clips in FIG. 2 are not visible), made in the housing 1 (the slotted clips in FIG. 2 are not visible). The fixation in this embodiment is made by the hole 13 of the latch 12 for the semicircular protrusion 14 of the cartridge 11. Figure 2 also shows a separate cartridge 11.

Figure 3 shows a General view of the weapon with the housing removed (housing 1 is removed, the device 7 highlighting the target is removed, the cartridges are inserted into the weapon). The protruding protrusion 6 of the manual cock is rigidly connected to the ejector - an electric switch 15 made of electrical insulation material, with a high impact strength, having an ejecting spring 16, resting on the housing and placed in the body of the ejector - electric switch 15. The spring 16 is cocked by the protruding cock 6 before loading a weapon with cartridges 11. The spring is shown in a cocked (compressed) state. The thrust 17 of the ejector - the electrical switch 15 has a tooth 18, which can interact with the sear 19, having a spring 20, resting on the housing. In the figure, tooth 18 stands on the sear 19.

The trigger element 8 has a spring 21 (shown in dashed lines), resting on the housing and the protrusion 22, which can interact with the sear 19 when you press the trigger element 8 (in figure 3, the trigger element 8 is not pressed). The ejector - an electric switch 15 - has protrusions 23, on which a conductor 24 is glued in the form of a foil connecting the protrusions (or a metal coating is applied). Conductors 25 (shown by dashed lines) are glued in pockets of non-ejected cartridges, in which cartridges 11 abut with their rear ends with the initiation electrode 11. In the partition 4 of the housing 1 (not shown), holes 26 were made between pockets for non-ejected and ejected cartridges (shown in dashed lines).

The trigger element 8 has a movable fuse switch 9, which interacts with its protrusions 27 with the common switch 28 of the power source 29 (depicted by dashed lines in the compartment 10) and the protrusion 30 with the travel controller 31 for the possibility of adjusting the stroke before pressing, can interact with the micro button 32 direct start of the voltage Converter 33. The switch 28 of the power source 29 when turned on, supplies the supply voltage to the device 7 backlight target, which is also an ind ikator of inclusion of the weapon (removal from a safety lock).

The fuse switch 9 has a protrusion 34, which is included in the recess of the housing, not allowing mobility (mechanical pressing) of the trigger element 8.

Figure 4 shows a General view of the weapon with the body removed at the time of the shot. Before firing, the cartridges 11 are inserted into the pockets for the ejected and non-ejected cartridges and are fixed with a spring clip for the semicircular protrusions 14. When the fuse-switch 9 is moved by the thumb, its protrusion 34 disengages from the weapon body, allowing the trigger element 8 to be movable, and the protrusion 27 at the same time, it turns on the switch 28, which supplies the current of the power supply 29 to the target illumination device 7, and to the voltage converter 33, which after that is in standby mode. The target illumination device illuminates the target and simultaneously signals to the user that the weapon is ready for use.

When you press your thumb on the trigger element 8, it compresses the spring 21 and at the same time connected to the fuse switch 9 with its protrusion 30 through the travel controller 31 presses the button 32 (micro button) to directly start the voltage converter 33. The voltage converter 33 turns on and supplies a constant voltage 600-6000 V per block 35 of a high-voltage generator having a high-voltage transformer, the high-voltage leads of which 36 (shown by dashed lines) are conducted to the fighting electrodes 5 (shown are dashed lines and numbered in the lower view). The voltage Converter 33 also has a temporary electronic relay-cutoff of his work.

The high-voltage generator generates an output high voltage (damaging voltage), which, through the fighting electrodes 5, is electrically directly (with close contact) or through a small air gap to the front electrical terminals of the cartridges 11, both ejected and non-ejected. Through the internal electrical circuit of the ejected cartridges, high voltage is supplied to the conductor 24 of the ejector - electrical switch 15.

The high voltage generator is made according to the scheme of the voltage multiplier or according to the scheme with the high voltage output transformer, or according to the scheme with the high voltage output preionization transformer and the current capacitor. Moreover, the high-voltage output transformer can be made without a core, with one secondary high-voltage winding or with two separate high-voltage windings. Between separate secondary high-voltage windings of the output transformer, a capacitor is connected in series, charged through a diode from a voltage converter 33, a circuit of high-voltage windings and a capacitor is connected to the fighting electrodes through an air or gas fuse.

The inner circuit of the ejected cartridges is closed through the conductor 24 with the initiation of the pyro charge of the cartridges 11 and the firing of one pair of cartridges (ejected). When fired from cartridges, probes with harpoon needles are thrown with wires 37 extending behind them, transmitting electric current from the high-voltage weapon generator to the target. When fired as a result of the release of current-conducting elements from the cartridges, the internal electrical circuit of the cartridges opens (the breakdown distance of the high-voltage generator cannot break through the air gaps formed in the cartridges) and the current is transmitted exclusively to the target, bypassing conductor 24.

Cartridges 11 located in pockets for non-ejected cartridges are not triggered, since their inner circuit cannot be closed through conductors 25 and a large air gap (more than the breakdown distance in the air between the fighting electrodes 5) between the holes 26 in the partition 4 (in FIG. 4 is not visible). Simultaneously with turning on the voltage converter 33, the trigger element 8 with its protrusion 22 presses the sear, 19 recessing it into the housing and compressing its spring 20. The sear stops interacting with tooth 18 of the ejector rod 17 - electric switch 15 (see Figure 3) and the tooth, 18 tearing away from the sear 19, slips over it a short distance and abuts against the end of the protrusion 22.

A high-voltage damaging voltage is supplied to the target by wires being thrown from the cartridges 11 until the trigger element 8 is held down by the finger of the hand, or until the temporary electronic relay-cut-off of the voltage converter 33, configured for a certain according to biomedical indicators, the time of impact of the damaging current on the target.

Figure 5 shows a General view of the weapon with the housing removed at the time of the extraction of cartridges. When releasing the trigger element 8, it rises under the action of its compressed spring 21 and the fuse switch 9 connected to it through the protrusion 30 and the travel controller 31 releases the micro button 32, thereby turning off the voltage converter 33 and the high voltage generator. If the weapon uses a temporary electronic relay-cutoff, the high-voltage generator may turn off before the user releases the trigger element 8.

After the micro button 32 is released, the trigger element 8 rises further and its protrusion 22 releases the tooth 18 of the thrust 17 of the ejector - the electric switch 15. The cocked eject spring 16, unclenching, pushes the ejector - the electric switch 15 forward, and its protrusions 23 interact with the ends ejected cartridges 11 and, overcoming the force of the spring clips 12 (see Figure 2) of cartridges, throw them out of the body of the weapon. When ejecting cartridges 11 with wires stretching from them to the target, the weapon can be aimed at a new target, even located behind the user's back, and wires reaching to the previous target will not interfere with aiming.

Thus, the shot is fired by pressing the trigger element 8, and the extraction of the fired cartridges together with the electric wires occurs automatically when the trigger element 8 is released. After the cartridges are ejected, the ejector - the electric switch 15 reaches the special stop in the housing, and the protrusions 23 with the conductor 24 stop opposite the holes 26 in the partition 4 (not visible in FIG. 5).

To produce the next shot, it is necessary to press the trigger element 8 again. In this case, the fuse switch 9, with its protrusion 30, presses the micro button 32 of the direct start of the voltage converter 33 through the travel regulator 31. The high-voltage generator generates a damaging high-voltage voltage to the fighting electrodes 5. Cartridges 11 located in pockets for non-ejectable cartridges, they are initiated, since their inner circuit closes through the conductor 24 and the spark air discharge in the holes 26 in the partition 4. In another and Status Closed holes 26 in fixed lengths of conductors, for example wires, in this case carried out by direct contact without forming a spark discharge through the air holes 26 in circuit rounds chain.

After the shooting of non-ejected cartridges, they are forcibly removed from the weapon manually, for example, by the protrusion 38 on the body of the cartridge. Then new cartridges are inserted into the pockets of the cartridge case. When firing, the ends of the cartridges, both ejected and non-ejected, perceiving the return of the shot, abut against the power case of the weapon, which allows the use of any type of ammunition, including ammunition, throwing shells of significant mass with a large momentum, such as bullets.

Figure 6 is a General view of a weapon with a non-automatic ejector - an electric switch. The weapon has an ejector - an electrical switch 39, in which is placed a latch 40 (for example, a ball) with a spring (shown in dashed lines). The ejector is an electrical switch 39 made of an insulating material, has a projection-pusher 41 of a manual ejection having the ability to move in the through groove of the wall of the housing 1 and exiting through the groove of the housing to the outer surface of the housing. In this configuration, the weapon does not have a spring 16, a whisper 19 and a spring 20.

The first shot from the weapon is fired as described in FIG. 4, but the cartridges are not extracted due to the pre-compressed spring 16, but by the thumb of the hand by pressing it on the projection-pusher 41 of the manual ejection with a complete stroke. In this case, the ejected pair of cartridges is ejected, and the protrusions 23 with the conductor 24 (see Figure 5) of the ejector-electric switch 39 stop opposite the holes 26 (see Figure 5) and are fixed in this position by the latch 40, which falls into the corresponding through hole in the partition 4 (see Figure 1), thus switching weapons to the next shot. Manual ejection (extraction) increases the reliability of the ejection of spent cartridges (cartridges) and, in addition, makes it possible to produce as many presses on the trigger element 8 with its release as it is necessary to maintain the target in a state of immobilization (repeatedly letting the damaging voltage onto the target), which is impossible with automatic throwing cartridges by means of a spring 16. The trigger element is controlled during the execution of shots and the extraction of the shot cartridges of the first shot is carried out with a finger only one hand with which the user holds the weapon.

The housing 1 has fastening elements of an attached handle with a trigger or trigger of a different shape and a fuse that can interact with said trigger or trigger of a different shape.

7 shows a General view of the weapon with attached attached handle. Attached to the casing 1 is an attached pistol grip 42, which is attached to the casing 1 by a screw 43 and a protrusion 44 of the grip 42, which enters the corresponding cavity in the compartment 10 of the battery or accumulator. In the handle there is a trigger 45, a pressure plate 46 and a double-sided fuse 47, which has the ability to interact with the fuse-switch 9.

The handle joins for more accurate shooting and ease of use. Shots are fired by removing the weapon from the fuse 47 interacting with the fuse switch 9, and pressing the trigger 45, which through the pressure plate 46 interacts with the trigger element 8. Spare cartridges can be placed inside the handle with an easily removable cover.

On Fig shows an electrical schematic diagram of a weapon. A high-voltage generator of damaging pulses is a terminal device for a complete electric circuit of a weapon, consisting of a low-voltage power supply 29, which is a battery, a battery, or another power source, a general switch 28, a low-voltage converter 33 and a power supply of 600-6000 V, and micro buttons (or, for example, a reed switch) 32 for directly starting the voltage converter 33. Parallel to the converter 33 to the power source 29 through the electrical connector 48 the unit 7 of the target illuminating device is connected.

The high-voltage generator (terminal device) consists of a storage capacitor 49 connected to the converter 33, connected in parallel to a circuit consisting of a gas or air gap 50 and a primary winding 51 of a high-voltage transformer, which can be made without a core.

An additional current storage capacitor 52, connected in series with separate secondary windings 53 and 54 of the high-voltage transformer, is also connected to the converter 33. The capacitor 52 is connected to the converter 33 through a diode 55. A protective gas or air gap 56 is included in the circuit of the capacitor 52 and the secondary windings 53 and 54. The outputs of the secondary winding circuit and the capacitor 52 are connected to the combat electrodes 5. Low-voltage or high-voltage windings of the high-voltage transformer or diode 55 must be phased with the output of the converter 33. To remove the residual voltage across the capacitor 52, a high-resistance discharge resistance 57 can be used.

The galvanic connection of the high-voltage windings 53 and 54 with the low-voltage part of the circuit is from the midpoint of the winding, if we consider two windings as a single high-voltage winding, and the high voltage potential during operation of the generator at this midpoint is half that of the common winding. Therefore, the effect of a capacitive discharge (breakdown distance in air with a capacitive discharge) in the circuit under consideration is half that in a high-voltage pulse generator according to RF patent No. 2305246. However, in the inventive weapon, all current-carrying parts (both low-voltage and high-voltage) are isolated from the outer surface of the weapon body (from the user's holding hand) or are separated by a capacitive discharge guaranteed to not penetrate through the air through, for example, the gaps between the case 1 and the fuse -switch 9 (see Figure 1). In another embodiment, such gaps between the current-carrying parts and the outer surface of the housing can be protected, for example, by the outer housing cover of an elastic insulator, such as rubber. In another embodiment, such gaps between the current-carrying parts and the outer surface of the housing, for example, the exit point to the trigger housing and the circuit breaker fuse, can be protected by local protection from an elastic insulator.

The electrical connector 48 can serve both to connect the unit 7 illuminating the target device, and to connect an external battery charger 29. In another design, the battery compartment 10 or battery may be removable for charging the battery or changing the battery. The device for indicating the discharge of the battery or battery may use a laser diode or LED as an indicator, or a lamp of the unit 7 illuminating the target device, for example, in the blinking mode when discharging.
