Definitions

  • This disclosure relates generally to firearms and, more particularly, to firearms having a barcode on an external surface and methods of producing the same.
  • engraving, chiseling or branding are advantageous techniques for marking a firearm because they are permanent and do not require flat or even surfaces
  • engraving, chiseling and/or branding require a lot of surface space on the weapon and do not always guarantee that all of the engraved, chiseled or branded characters of the mark will be clearly legible.
  • engraving chiseling and/or otherwise branding characters onto a firearm are extremely complicated techniques and, because of the toll they take on the metal surface, may lead to undesirable stress concentrations on heavily loaded, thin parts. In view of these issues, engraving is usually only performed on expensive civilian weapons.
  • Electrowriters were sometimes used to create marks or other notations on firearms. Electrowriters allowed markings to even be placed on firearms with surface ornamentation and/or other filigree such as, for example, modern automatic pistols without dismantling the weapon into individual parts, compressing the weapon by stamping, or heat-damaging the weapon.
  • a more recent method of applying markings containing manufacturer, sales and/or other information is through barcoding.
  • a barcode consists of a row of parallel bars with different widths and/or at different distances from each other. The bars are attached to a contrasting base, which in turn is affixed to the weapon packaging or the weapon itself.
  • a barcode is usually read with a reader device that can decode the barcode without problems. The layperson cannot read the information on the barcode without a reader.
  • a barcode must be applied to a more or less even surface. As used in this patent, a surface is “even” if it is even enough to allow the quick and trouble-free reading of a barcode applied to it. Because the barcode is applied to the weapon via a base, this type of barcode is rather easy to remove or damage such that it can no longer be read.
  • DE 100 62 239 A1 illustrates a prior art attempt to apply a barcode to a weapon.
  • a barcode is included in the millings for the engagement of the slide. Only millings that are clearly undamaged can be seen because they have omissions.
  • a disadvantage of this barcode marking is that the marking is relatively short such that only a few characters of the weapon identification number can be included.
  • a challenge encountered specifically with military weapons is that the surfaces of military weapons should be as inconspicuous as possible, (i.e. non-reflective and with unclear contours). Insofar as a military weapon has a smooth, level surface, then this surface should be designed as matte as possible. However, the surfaces must not be too roughly processed, since otherwise material inaccuracies and errors can develop or remain undetected. Until now, this problem has been poorly addressed by first working the surface to a certain accuracy, and then reworking this surface, which is quite time-consuming. The reworking is usually performed chemically so as not to stress the material parts, which are often designed as thin as permissible in order to minimize the weight of the weapon.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an example standard-issue weapon with markings constructed in accordance with the teachings of the invention.
  • position designations such as “above,” “below,” “top” “forward,” “rear,” etc. are referenced to a firearm held in a normal firing position (i.e., pointed away from the shooter in a generally horizontal direction).
  • FIG. 1 illustrates an example pistol constructed in accordance with the teachings of the invention.
  • the bottom part of the illustrated pistol has a handle 1 made out of reinforced plastic.
  • An outwardly open metal plate (not shown here) containing the serial number and, if applicable, firing characters is embedded into the handle 1 .
  • the surface of the handle 1 can accommodate a variety of designs such as, for example, fish scales, raisings, or other emblems and insignia (e.g., national emblems) requested by purchasers, particularly high-volume purchasers.
  • a slide 3 made of specially treated steel is attached in a moveable manner to the top of the handle 1 in a known manner.
  • the front part of this slide 3 may contain information such as, for example, manufacturer identifiers, firing characters, etc.
  • the back part of the slide 3 has grooves 5 such that a user can securely grip the slide 3 during reloading.
  • the surface of the front and back parts of the slide 3 are thus sufficiently raised or otherwise designed to avoid or reduce the amount of light the surfaces reflect.
  • the middle part of the slide 3 looks different.
  • the back part of the ejection window 7 is the part of the weapon that receives the highest amount of stress during firing.
  • the slide 3 has an even or smooth, level surface 9 , which may reflect light rays. This surface 9 could be reworked in order to be less reflective, thus making the weapon less conspicuous, but this must be done very carefully since each sharp edge that is cut in the steel can cause breakages and/or weaken the material. This is highly undesirable in this region of the weapon because this region is subject to the highest stresses.
  • a large part of the level surface 9 is taken up by a barcode surface 11 .
  • the barcode surface 11 is shown in FIG. 1 with cross-hatching to accentuate its presence.
  • the barcode surface 11 is branded relatively finely and evenly with a barcode. This ensures that no undefined sharp edges can be formed in the barcode.
  • the barcode can accommodate a longer message (i.e., include more data).
  • the barcode surface 11 breaks and distorts the surface 9 so the surface 9 is less smooth and less light is reflected. Consequently, the surface 9 can no longer be recognized as the surface of a weapon, even if other parts are still recognizable.
  • the barcode 11 provides permanent identifying information that is less easily recognizable but is easily readable with a barcode reader or decoder.
  • the barcode 11 is worked into the even metal surface 9 such that the bars or the spaces between the bars of the barcode 11 are formed by fine grooves or bars. Because the barcode 11 provides the dual functions of carrying a message and operating as a textured or otherwise uneven surface that dampens the reflection of light thereby making the weapon less conspicuous, the relatively high cost of the barcode 11 is justifiable.
  • the barcode 11 forms a raised surface that is arranged within the metal surface 9 and, thus, changes the contour of the surface 9 and dampens or prevents the reflection of light from the surface 9 .
  • the mechanical raising of a surface section 9 for the purpose of reducing the reflection and blurring of the contours is too time-consuming to be used in the mass production of standard-issue weapons, and while the insertion of a barcode 11 into an even metal surface 9 is also too time-consuming for the same reasons, the barcode surface 11 of the illustrated example is used for two completely contrasting purposes, which surprisingly ensures a positive balance of costs. While too complicated for either of the individual purposes alone, an engraved or otherwise constructed barcode surface 11 is sufficiently economical because it simultaneously achieves both purposes.
  • the barcode 11 takes up a significant portion of the level surface 9 and/or subdivides this level surface 9 .
  • the barcode can be used for any type of firearm. However, because the size of a meaningful barcode surface 11 is limited, the size of the level surface 9 that can be effectively camouflaged by the barcode surface 11 is also limited. For this reason, the barcode surface 11 is preferably used with a firearm such as, for example, an automatic pistol with a plastic handle where the barcode is applied to or worked into at least one side of the slide 3 .
  • a barcode attached to the slide 3 can be read easily and without problems using a conventional machine vision reader device.
  • the surface of the slide 3 offers a conspicuous surface that is exposed to the highest mechanical stresses. For this reason, the welding or the milling out of the barcode 11 means a high thermal or mechanical impairment of the strength of the slide 3 that is not ideal, as described above.
  • the barcode 11 may be inserted in different ways, e.g. through engraving.
  • the barcode 11 is preferably branded into the even metal surface 9 through a laser treatment.
  • the stability of a barcode 11 in this location is, thus, guaranteed.
  • The, at first, very complicated laser device can be fully electronically and automatically controlled so that the text of the barcode is free of human error or other idiosyncrasies of the operating personnel.
  • the branding is extremely gentle on the material since the heating of the metal of the level surface 9 only reaches a very low level, so that the material is only damaged in a defined and specific manner over a shallow depth. This material depth lies within the tolerance field of the material thickness.
  • the formation of the bars or grooves takes place with the highest precision, but is nevertheless very quick.
  • the cost for a branding procedure is very low so that the high costs of obtaining the laser device are quickly amortized.
