Abstract

The invention relates to a device and to a method for rendering useless a weapon (50) that includes a magazine, in the event of the weapon being taken or manipulated unlawfully. The device (1) is configured to enable it to be substituted for the magazine of the weapon (50) and includes at least one pin (14, 24) that can be moved from a pin-parking position. The device (1) includes drive means (15, 25) for displacing the pin (14, 24) into destructive engagement with a breech block (51) and/or a trigger mechanism (52) of the weapon in the event of the weapon being taken unlawfully.

Description

ARRANGEMENT RELATING TO A WEAPON WITH A MAGAZINE
The present invention relates to a device and to a method for rendering useless a weapon that includes a magazine, when the weapon is manipulated unlawfully.
An object of the present invention is to provide a device and a method that will render a weapon useless in conjunction with unlawful removal of the weapon. This object is achieved with a device and a method having the characteristic features set forth in respective Claims.
Because the weapon will be damaged to such an extent as to make any repair work difficult and troublesome to achieve if removed or manipulated unlawfully, the inventive device provides an effective theft deterrent.
The device can be combined with many different types of alarm systems capable of generating an alarm signal that causes activation of the inventive device, therewith resulting in destruction of the weapon to all intents and purposes.
The inventive device has both technical and economical advantages .
The invention will now be described in more detail with reference to an exemplifying embodiment thereof and also with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which Fig. 1 illustrates schematically a weapon provided with an inventive device; and Fig. 2 illustrates the device and the weapon subsequent to activation of said device. The inventive device 1 is comprised of a metal body 2 whose shape enables it to be attached to a weapon 50 instead of the weapon magazine.
The metal body 2 includes a first circular aperture 10 which is closed at one end by a plug 11. The aperture 10 is connected with a circular hole 12 at its other end. Mounted in the aperture 10 is a plunger 13 which carries a pin 14 made of very hard steel for instance, said pin 14 fitting in the hole 12 as shown in Fig. l. Arranged between the plunger 13 and the plug 11 is a powder charge 15 to which there is extended an electric ignition wire 16. The pin 14 is directed towards the breech block 51 of the weapon 50, as shown in Fig. l.
The metal body 2 includes a second circular aperture 20 which connects at one end with a plug 21. The other end of the aperture 20 connects with a circular hole 22. Arranged in the aperture 20 is a plunger 23 which carries a pin 24 made of very hard steel for instance, said pin 24 fitting into the hole 22 as evident from Fig. 1. A powder charge 25 is disposed between the plunger 23 and the plug 21, and an electric igniter wire 26 is extended to the powder charge 25. The pin 24 is directed towards the trigger mechanism 52 of the weapon 50, as evident from Fig. 1.
The pins 14 and 24 intersect one another in different planes.
The inventive device 1 functions in the following manner: The igniter wires 16 and 26 are included in an alarm circuit (not shown) of suitable design. When an alarm is triggered as a result of attempting to steal the weapon for instance, current is supplied to the igniter wires 16 and 26 so as to explode the powder charges 15 and 25. Explosion of the powder charges causes the plunger 13 and the pin 14 mounted thereon to move upwards so that the pin 14 penetrates or damages the breech block 51 of the weapon, for instance as illustrated in Fig. 2, and also causes the piston 23 and its pin 24 to be driven so that the pin 24 will penetrate or damage the trigger mechanism 52 of said weapon, for instance as illustrated in Fig. 2. Activation of the inventive device 1 will thus cause very serious damages to the weapon 50.
It will be understood that the structural components of the inventive device can be varied widely within the scope of the invention.
For instance, the pins 14 and 24 may be driven by a common powder charge .
Other explosive charges may be used instead of the aforementioned powder charges.
In simpler embodiments, the device may solely include means for destroying the breech block or means for destroying the trigger mechanism. It is also conceivable to arrange for the destructive devices 14 and 24 to be triggered sequentially instead of simultaneously.
It will therefore be understood that the invention is not restricted to the described and illustrated embodiments and that changes and modifications can be made within the scope of the following Claims .

Claims

1. A device for rendering useless a weapon (50) that includes a magazine, when the weapon is taken or manipulated unlawfully, characterized in that the device (1) has a configuration which enables it to be substitiuted for the magazine of said weapon (50) and includes at least one pin
(14,24) which is displaceable from a pin-parking position
(Fig. 1) ,- and in that the device (1) includes drive means (15,25) which function to move said at least one pin (14,24) into destructive engagement with a breech block (51) and/or a trigger mechanism (52) of the weapon in conjunction with an alarm being triggered.
2. A device according to Claim 1, characterized in that the drive means (15,25) for moving said pin (14,24) from its parking position is a powder explosive or some other explosive agent.
3. A device according to Claim 1 or 2 , characterized in that the device includes two movable pins (14,24); in that one pin (14) is adapted to destroy the breech block (51) and the other pin (24) is adapted to destroy the trigger mechanism (52) .
4. A device according to Claim 3, characterized in that each pin (14,24) is driven by its respective drive means (15,25) .
5. A device according to Claim 3, characterized in that the pins (14,24) are driven by a common drive means.
6. A method of rendering useless a weapon (50) that includes a magazine in the event of the weapon being taken or manipulated unlawfully, characterized by using a device (1) whose configuration enables it to be substitiuted for the magazine of said weapon (50) and which includes at least one movable device (14,24) which is moved into destructive engagement with a breech block (51) and/or a trigger mechanism (52) of said weapon in the event of an alarm being triggered.
7. A method according to Claim 6, characterized in that the movement of said movable device (14,24) is caused by drive means .
