Description
- This application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 14/955,440 entitled LASER TRAINER TARGET, filed on Dec. 1, 2015, which claims priority to U.S. application Ser. No. 13/353,165 entitled LASER TRAINER CARTRIDGE, filed on Jan. 18, 2012 and U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/433,902 entitled LASER TRAINER CARTRIDGE AND LASER TRAINER TARGET, filed on Jan. 18, 2011, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
- The present invention relates to firearm training systems that do not require live ammunition.
- Conventional firearm training can be dangerous, expensive (considering the prices for ammunition and replacement targets) and can only be performed in certain areas, such as shooting ranges. The present invention allows firearm training to be performed safely, inexpensively, and almost anywhere without the use of live ammunition.
- A laser trainer cartridge (or “laser cartridge” or “cartridge”) according to various aspects of the invention is configured to fit inside the chamber (or bore) of a firearm and includes a firing-pin activated switch to emit a laser light to indicate where a bullet would strike. Among other things, the laser trainer cartridge provides realistic firearms training, preferably allowing a user to practice tap, rack, bang and malfunction drills. The laser training cartridge can be configured to operate with essentially any desired firearm of any caliber.
- The cartridge is preferably cylindrical with a cylindrical outer surface. A plurality O-rings comprised of compressible material are positioned on the outer surface of the cartridge, entirely or partially around the cartridge, in order to center the cartridge snugly in the barrel of a gun. A kit of the cartridges may be provided wherein there is a different sized cartridge/O-ring combination for different calibers of guns (and the cartridges may all be the same size, with different O-rings for different gun calibers). Alternatively, a kit may include a single cartridge and different-sized O-rings, wherein each different sized O-ring or set of O-rings is sized to fit a particular caliber of gun. In that case, one or more O-rings can be positioned on the cartridge to enable the cartridge/O-ring combination to fit a particular caliber gun, and the O-ring(s) could be changed so the cartridge/O-ring combination would fit a different caliber gun.
- Also disclosed is a sheath that may be used to fit a cartridge snugly into a gun bore. The sheath is preferably a hollow tube that receives and retains the cartridge. This can be accomplished in any suitable manner, such as by (1) the sheath having internal structures, such as flexible members, that retain the cartridge, (2) the sheath being shaped to retain the cartridge, or (3) the cartridge having an external structure, such as one or more of the previously described O-rings, which in this case would cause the cartridge to fit snugly inside the sheath.
- The sheath has one or more O-rings positioned on its exterior surface that enable it to be fit snugly into the bore of a gun. A kit could contain a single cartridge and multiple sheaths. Each of the multiple sheaths preferably would have essentially the same interior diameter and each could receive and retain the single cartridge, and at least some (or all) of the sheaths would have different-sized O-rings on their exterior surface. Therefore, different sheaths would fit snugly in guns having different bore sizes. In this manner, a single cartridge can be used with guns having different, respective bore sizes by changing the sheath.

laser trainer cartridge 10 of the invention is configured to fit a firearm having a caliber of 9 mm, .32 cal, .38 cal, .40 cal., .44 cal., .45 cal, or .50 cal. Thelaser trainer cartridge 10 may be configured to fit snugly into the firing chamber (or bore) of essentially any desired firearm. Thecartridge 10 is preferably configured so that it fits into the chamber of a gun in the same manner as a bullet. - The
cartridge 10 is configured to emit light, which is preferably laser light, for any desired duration. In one embodiment, alaser trainer cartridge 10 includes alaser module 6, which in the preferred embodiment is a visible, red light laser module. In this embodiment, thelaser module 6 activates for 100 milliseconds each time the firing pin strikes the backer 4 ofcartridge 10, although any suitable activation duration can be selected. Thelaser trainer cartridge 10 is preferably rimless, so that it is not expelled during dry fire, which can allow for tap, rack, bang or malfunction training drills. - In one embodiment, a hardened rubber plunger (or backer 4) on the
cartridge 10 also acts as a built-in snap cap to protect the firing pin of the gun when it strikes the backer 4. Backer 4 is thus pressure fit, or snap fit, into the end ofcartridge 10opposite opening 14 ascartridge 10 is assembled. - The
cartridge 10 includes at least one rubber ring, which is preferably an O-ring, that is pressure fit onto theouter surface 12 of thecartridge 10, and most preferably two rubber O-rings are pressure fit ontosurface 12.

Front O-ring 9 is positioned on the front portion ofcartridge 10, and rear O-ring 11 is positioned on the back portion of thecartridge 10. Among other things, the O-rings help to prevent thecartridge 10 from falling out of the gun, reduce vibration from the firing pin striking the backer 4, and retain thecartridge 10 in position while in use. The front O-ring 9 and rear O-ring 11 each preferably have a diameter equal to, or greater than, the diameter of the bore of the gun. In some embodiments, the front O-ring 9 and rear O-ring 11 have a diameter of equal to, or up to 0.030″ greater than, the diameter of the bore of the gun barrel in whichcartridge 10 is used. The O-rings cartridge 10 to fit snugly in the bore of a firearm and help reduce vibration and movement when the backing 4 ofcartridge 10 is struck by the firing pin. - In one embodiment, the laser trainer cartridge is powered by three 377-type batteries 5 (shown in
FIGS. 7 and 9 ) that fit in an internal cavity 22 of thelaser trainer cartridge 10 to provide power to a circuit 8 (such as the exemplary circuit inFIG. 9 ), which utilizes 4-4.5 V. In this embodiment, thebatteries 5 provide enough power for approximately 3,000 emissions of laser light that simulate a bullet being fired. -
FIG. 7 depicts an exploded view of an exemplarylaser trainer cartridge 10 according to various aspects of the invention. In this embodiment, thelaser trainer cartridge 10 includes an outer casing formed bycomponents FIG. 7 is positioned at the rear of thecartridge 10 so it can be struck by the firing pin of the gun when the gun is fired (i.e., when a user pulls the trigger of the gun). The backer 4 has a first position where it is not in contact with acircuit 8 and a second position where the backer 4 contacts thecircuit 8. When assembled, backer 4 can be struck by the firing pin of a gun through opening 2A ofbody portion 2. When the backer 4 is struck by the firing pin of the gun, the backer moves from the first position to the second position, and thecircuit 8 causes thelaser module 6 to illuminate. - The backer 4 may be of any suitable size, shape, and configuration, and may be formed from any suitable material. In one exemplary embodiment, the backer 4 is formed from urethane. In one embodiment, the material forming the backer is urethane having a durometer of about 85 Shore A. In alternate embodiments, the backer has a durometer of between about 75 and about 95 Shore A.
- The
batteries 5 are preferably insulated from the body of thecartridge 10 by amylar sleeve 21. Thelaser module 6 may be of any suitable size, shape, and configuration, and may emit light of any desired shape, intensity, and color. -
FIGS. 10-11 depict anexemplary circuitry 100 that may be implemented incircuit 8 ofFIG. 10 . In thiscircuitry 100, the backer moving to its second position actuates the switch S1, which in turn discharges capacitor C1 through transistor Q1 in order to causelaser module 6 to illuminate for a predetermined period of time. In this embodiment, thecircuitry 100 inFIG. 9 is implemented using a printed circuit board having the trace diagrams illustrated inFIGS. 10 and 11 . Alternate embodiments of the invention may utilize any other suitable circuit to cause thelaser module 6 to illuminate. - The
circuitry 100 may be configured to cause thelaser module 6 to illuminate for any desired length of time. In one embodiment, the laser is illuminated for between about 7.5 milliseconds (ms) to about 12.5 ms per shot, i.e., each time the firing pin contacts the backer 4 ofcartridge 10. - A plurality of different cartridges sized to fit different-sized gun bores may be sold as a kit. Alternatively, a kit may include one or more cartridges of the same or different sizes along with different-sized O-rings. Each different sized O-ring(s) can be placed on a cartridge in order to configure it to fit a particular caliber of gun, and O-ring(s) can be removed and replaced with other O-rings in order to change the size of the gun bore into which the cartridge fits.
- In one embodiment of the present invention, a laser trainer cartridge of the present invention may be configured to fit into an adapter sheath (or “sheath”) 200. Among other things, the
sheath 200 acts as an adapter to allow alaser trainer cartridge 10 to operate in a firearm having a different caliber than thelaser trainer cartridge 10 itself is designed to operate. For example, alaser trainer cartridge 10 configured to fit in a .32 caliber firearm may be sold as a kit with a plurality ofadapter sheaths 200 that allow the cartridge to be used with larger-caliber firearms (e.g., .38 caliber, .40 caliber, .44 caliber, etc.). - As shown in

Thesheath 200 is preferably at least partially open at both ends to allow thecartridge 10 to be inserted into and retained in thesheath cavity 204, and to allow light fromlaser module 6 to be emitted, and the firing pin to strike the backing 4 of thecartridge 10. -
Adapter sheath 200 preferably includes at least one O-ring on itsexterior surface 202 that has a diameter equal to, or greater than, the diameter of the gun bore into which thesheath 200 is configured to fit. The O-ring for the sheath can be any type of structure as the O-rings previously described forcartridge 10. - In one embodiment, a
sheath 200 of the present invention includes two O-rings sheath 200 ingrooves 206, and each O-ring cartridge 10 and to retain the sheath/cartridge combination in place during use. - The
cartridge 10 can be retained inside thesheath 200 in any suitable manner. In one embodiment, the O-rings cartridge 10 are sized to interface with the interior surface of thesheath 200 to help retaincartridge 10 withincavity 204 ofsheath 200. In another embodiment, the front portion of the sheath includes a lip or narrowed portion that prevents thecartridge 10 from passing through the front of the sheath, yet does not occlude or interfere with the light emitted from thelaser module 6. Any other structure(s) may be used in conjunction with the present invention to retain thelaser trainer cartridge 10 within thesheath 200. - In some embodiments, the
cartridge 10 may be configured to produce a sound (e.g., a gunshot sound) when the firing pin strikes the backer. The cartridge may include a speaker or any other suitable device to produce a sound, and may produce any desired sound. - Having thus described some embodiments of the invention, other variations and embodiments that do not depart from the spirit of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art. The scope of the present invention is thus not limited to any particular embodiment, but is instead set forth in the appended claims and the legal equivalents thereof. Unless expressly stated in the written description or claims, the steps of any method recited in the claims may be performed in any order capable of yielding the desired result.
