Abstract

The invention relates to a device that can be intuitively activated from the grip (2) of the weapon, in the shooting position, without the device interfering with the mechanisms that the weapon may have on the sides thereof, forming an optimal solution for weapons which have a morphology that prevents the arrangement of similar devices outside the rail zone, which generally include weapons for such a purpose. The components of the device are distributed over different parts of the weapon and are electrically interconnected, said components comprising an activator (4) arranged on the grip (2), an illuminator (6) arranged in a forward position in relation to the grip (2), on a side of the frame (10), and an energy source (5). The device can be built into the weapon or can consist of a support (7) that can be adapted to the frame (10).

Description

DISPOSITIVO DE PUNTERÍA POR ILUMINACIÓN DEL BLANCO Y SU MÉTODO DE MONTAJE EN UN ARMA  POINT DEVICE FOR WHITE LIGHTING AND ITS ASSEMBLY METHOD IN A WEAPON
OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓN OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
La invención se puede encuadrar en el campo de los accesorios de armas portables: pequeñas o ligeras (conocidas por sus siglas en inglés SALW: Small and Light Weapons). La presente invención se refiere a un Dispositivo de Puntería por Iluminación del Blanco (DPIB) con una configuración distribuida de sus componentes tal que aporta una serie de ventajas con respecto a dispositivos similares existentes, permitiendo su activación intuitiva desde la empuñadura del arma, y al método de su montaje en ella. The invention can be framed in the field of portable weapon accessories: small or light (known by its acronym in English SALW: Small and Light Weapons). The present invention relates to a Target Lighting Target Device (DPIB) with a distributed configuration of its components such that it provides a series of advantages over similar existing devices, allowing its intuitive activation from the handle of the weapon, and to the method of mounting on it.
ESTADO DE LA TÉCNICA STATE OF THE TECHNIQUE
Entre las partes esenciales de todas las SALWs se encuentran un cañón y un mecanismo de disparo, ambos integrados en un mismo armazón. De modo que al citado armazón o al cañón se pueden añadir otras partes tanto esenciales como accesorias, contándose entre estas últimas aquellos sistemas destinados a facilitar la tarea de apuntar a un blanco. Among the essential parts of all SALWs are a cannon and a firing mechanism, both integrated into the same frame. So that to the aforementioned framework or to the barrel can be added other essential and accessory parts, among the latter those systems intended to facilitate the task of aiming at a target.
Entre estos sistemas de puntería destacan los DPIB que se componen principalmente de: Among these aiming systems, the DPIBs are mainly composed of:
• Iluminador del blanco por medio de una fuente de iluminación (preferiblemente láser) con el correspondiente sistema de ajuste bidimensional (alza y deriva) para que su haz pueda ser alineado adecuadamente con el eje del cañón del arma.  • White illuminator by means of a light source (preferably laser) with the corresponding two-dimensional adjustment system (rise and drift) so that its beam can be properly aligned with the axis of the gun barrel.
· Activador intuitivo de las fuentes de iluminación operativas para que estén activas cuando el arma esté en posición de disparo sin necesidad de que sea necesario realizar ninguna otra operación. • Fuente de energía que puede ir acompañada de un posible interruptor general para optimizar su consumo cuando el DPIB no esté operativo. · Intuitive activator of operational lighting sources so that they are active when the weapon is in firing position without the need for any other operation. • Power source that can be accompanied by a possible general switch to optimize its consumption when the DPIB is not operational.
Si bien un mismo DPIB puede contener varios iluminadores, en los que cada uno de ellos, a su vez, puede estar dotado de varias fuentes de iluminación (preferiblemente láser) que sean ajustables en alza y deriva, de modo que puedan alinearse con el eje del cañón del arma, y que posean diferentes características para facilitar la operación del DPIB en diferentes zonas del espectro luminoso, en cuyo caso, cada una de dichas fuentes deberá poder estar operativa tras haber sido seleccionada por medio del correspondiente mecanismo de modo que, una vez realizada la selección de haces e iluminadores, éstos puedan responder a la operación del activador intuitivo. Además, un mismo DPIB también puede contener más de una Fuente de energía y cada una de ellas contar con un interruptor o depender todas ellas de uno general, pero como mínimo un DPIB ha de estar compuesto por al menos uno de cada uno de los tres tipos de subsistemas o componentes citados: Iluminador, Activador y Fuente de energía. Although the same DPIB can contain several illuminators, in which each of them, in turn, can be provided with several lighting sources (preferably laser) that are adjustable in elevation and drift, so that they can align with the axis of the gun barrel, and that have different characteristics to facilitate the operation of the DPIB in different areas of the light spectrum, in which case, each of these sources must be operational after being selected by means of the corresponding mechanism so that, Once the selection of beams and illuminators, they can respond to the operation of the intuitive activator. In addition, the same DPIB can also contain more than one Power Source and each of them have a switch or all depend on a general one, but at least one DPIB must be composed of at least one of each of the three Types of subsystems or components mentioned: Illuminator, Activator and Power Source.
Como de cualquier sistema que complemente la funcionalidad básica de una SALW, bien integrado en ella o bien por medio de un accesorio que se monta en ella, se espera que un DPIB no interfiera negativamente con sus mecanismos ni con el acceso a ella por parte de quien la maneja. As with any system that complements the basic functionality of a SALW, either integrated in it or through an accessory that is mounted on it, it is expected that a DPIB does not interfere negatively with its mechanisms or with access to it by who drives it
En el caso de las armas pequeñas y concretamente en el de las armas cortas (pistolas y revólveres), aunque también podría decirse algo similar de las armas largas e incluso de algunas armas ligeras y, por tanto, de las SALWs, la ubicación de cada uno de los subsistemas que componen un DPIB permite clasificar al tipo al que corresponde éste, existiendo un orden de prelación entre ellos. In the case of small arms and specifically in the case of small arms (guns and revolvers), although something similar could also be said of long arms and even some light weapons and, therefore, of SALWs, the location of each One of the subsystems that make up a DPIB allows to classify the type to which it corresponds, there being an order of priority among them.
De modo que, para su clasificación, primero se atiende a la ubicación del iluminador, por ser ésta la característica principal del DPIB. Después y una vez seleccionada ésta, se considera la ubicación del activador. Por último, cabe atender a la ubicación de su fuente de energía, así como a la de su posible interruptor, pudiendo ser alguna de estas coincidentes con las de los otros subsistemas. Cada uno de los subsistemas de un DPIB se puede encontrar en la misma zona o total o parcialmente distribuidos entre las distintas posiciones del arma. So, for classification, the location of the illuminator is first taken into account, since this is the main characteristic of the DPIB. After and one Once selected, the location of the trigger is considered. Finally, it is possible to attend to the location of its energy source, as well as to that of its possible switch, being one of these coinciding with those of the other subsystems. Each of the subsystems of a DPIB can be found in the same area or totally or partially distributed between the different positions of the weapon.
A continuación se presentan las cuatro principales zonas de un arma en las que se pueden ubicar los tres subsistemas de los DPIB y que sirven para su clasificación. Below are the four main zones of a weapon in which the three subsystems of the DPIBs can be located and which are used for classification.
Primera zona de ubicación. First location zone.
Por una parte tenemos la zona abierta o vacía e inerte delante de la empuñadura. Se trata de la zona del arma que está situada delante o debajo del guardamontes, delante de la empuñadura y debajo de la parte inferior del cañón (o de la parte del armazón sobre la que este reposa). Es una zona fuera del arma, en la que los accesorios que puedan colocarse en ella no interaccionan o son inertes con respecto a la funcionalidad básica de la misma. En esta zona el Iluminador se puede encontrar sujeto al arma por algún medio que lo una directamente, desde alguna parte del arma cercana a ella, o indirectamente a través de algún medio cuyo ajuste al arma se encuentre en otra zona diferente de ésta. Existen actualmente algunas soluciones dirigidas a esta zona del arma, como la propuesta por el documento US5706600; el documento detalla un dispositivo que incluye un conjunto de láser que está dispuesto preferentemente adyacente a la parte delantera de la protección del gatillo de la pistola. On the one hand we have the open or empty and inert area in front of the handle. This is the area of the weapon that is located in front of or under the guard, in front of the handle and under the bottom of the barrel (or the part of the frame on which it rests). It is an area outside the weapon, in which the accessories that can be placed in it do not interact or are inert with respect to its basic functionality. In this area the Illuminator can be found attached to the weapon by some means that joins it directly, from some part of the weapon close to it, or indirectly through some means whose adjustment to the weapon is in another area different from it. There are currently some solutions aimed at this area of the weapon, such as the one proposed by document US5706600; The document details a device that includes a laser assembly that is preferably disposed adjacent to the front of the gun trigger protection.
Entre los métodos de sujeción directa, podemos contar: Among the methods of direct restraint, we can count:
• Al guardamontes. • A la parte inferior del cañón o del armazón en la que éste reposa, bien sea limpiamente o por medio del raíl que algunas armas suelen tener dispuesto para ello. • To the goalkeeper. • To the bottom of the barrel or the frame on which it rests, either cleanly or through the rail that some weapons usually have arranged for it.
• A las dos partes anteriores, esto es, a la parte del arma que hay entre el cañón y la empuñadura, enlazando o bordeando el guardamontes.  • To the two previous parts, that is, to the part of the weapon between the barrel and the handle, linking or skirting the guard.
Los métodos de sujeción indirecta, que son aquellos que se apoyan en otra parte del arma que así lo permite por medio de algún tipo de fijación, se pueden clasificar según su posición en: Indirect restraint methods, which are those that rely on another part of the weapon that allows it through some type of fixation, can be classified according to their position in:
· El lateral del armazón.  · The side of the frame.
• La parte baja del armazón.  • The lower part of the frame.
• La parte delantera del armazón, bien sea en el extremo exterior de la guía del muelle de la corredera o en una extensión de dicha guía. Segunda zona de ubicación.  • The front part of the frame, either at the outer end of the slide spring guide or at an extension of said guide. Second location zone.
Por otra parte tenemos la zona del cañón, incluyendo la de aquellas partes que puedan recubrir a este (por ejemplo la corredera de las pistolas o el cierre de las armas largas), pudiendo distinguirse diversas áreas como la superior, la de ambos laterales, la inferior (aunque ésta también puede considerarse como la zona del interior de la guía del muelle de la corredera en aquellas armas que dispongan de esta), y la frontal o la de cualquier extensión situada por delante de la embocadura del arma, tanto en el caso de las que dispongan de la citada guía como de las que no. Si bien cabe destacar que la ubicación de un accesorio en la zona interior del arma, a diferencia del resto de los casos que son externos a ella, puede requerir además la realización de alguna modificación en el arma para poder comunicar el accesorio con el interruptor desde el que se activa su función. El documento US8127485 presenta una solución dirigida a esta zona del arma; se detalla un dispositivo de mira que hace uso de un dispositivo láser, una fuente de alimentación conectable al módulo láser y una montura que se puede fijar a la pistola de manera que el láser se yuxtaponga en una superficie de la corredera. Tercera zona de ubicación On the other hand we have the area of the canyon, including that of those parts that can cover this (for example the slide of the guns or the closing of the long weapons), being able to distinguish various areas such as the upper one, the one of both sides, the lower (although this can also be considered as the area inside the guide of the sliding spring in those weapons that have this), and the front or any extension located in front of the mouth of the weapon, both in the case of those who have the aforementioned guide as those who do not. Although it should be noted that the location of an accessory in the interior area of the weapon, unlike the rest of the cases that are external to it, may also require the modification of the weapon to be able to communicate the accessory with the switch from which activates its function. Document US8127485 presents a solution directed to this area of the weapon; a sight device that makes use of a laser device is detailed, a power supply connectable to the laser module and a mount that can be attached to the gun so that the laser juxtaposes on a surface of the slide. Third location zone
También se conocen disposiciones dirigidas a la zona de la empuñadura, distinguiendo en ésta la zona de la parte inferior del cargador que puede estar integrado en aquellas armas que disponen de éste, como ocurre en las pistolas. Arrangements are also known for the area of the handle, distinguishing in it the area of the lower part of the loader that can be integrated into those weapons that have it, as in the guns.
En esta zona se conocen soluciones como la detallada por US5435091 , documento que describe un dispositivo de mira láser dispuesto de forma adyacente al lateral de la parte superior de la empuñadura de la pistola, por detrás del gatillo y que se extiende lateralmente para permitir la proyección del haz luminoso. In this area, solutions such as the one detailed by US5435091 are known, a document describing a laser sight device arranged adjacent to the side of the upper part of the pistol grip, behind the trigger and extending laterally to allow projection of the light beam.
Cuarta zona de ubicación Finalmente, tenemos la zona del lateral del armazón, entre la empuñadura y la embocadura del cañón. Fourth location area Finally, we have the area on the side of the frame, between the handle and the mouth of the canyon.
Como ejemplo de soluciones que se dirigen a esta zona del arma es conocido el documento US6591536 de la empresa Lasermax Inc. el cual detalla un sistema de mira láser que puede ser construido como un módulo compacto y autónomo para su uso con un revólver o pistola automática en un lateral del arma. As an example of solutions that target this area of the weapon, document US6591536 from the company Lasermax Inc. is known, which details a laser sight system that can be constructed as a compact and autonomous module for use with an automatic revolver or pistol. on one side of the weapon.
La primera de estas cuatro zonas suele ser la más adecuada para colocar en ella otros accesorios que han de ser compatibles con la presencia de un DPIB, como por ejemplo, los accesorios que se montan, de forma fácil y cómoda, en el raíl que a tal fin suelen tener algunas armas, particularmente las cortas. Por lo tanto, no es conveniente utilizar dicha zona para ubicar los sistemas de este tipo ya que ocuparían el espacio en el que podrían instalarse otros accesorios. La zona correspondiente al cañón es una parte del arma que está sometida a grandes variaciones de los parámetros físicos que la caracterizan y ello podría interferir en el buen funcionamiento de los accesorios ubicados en esta zona, produciendo en ellos efectos no deseados que pueden acabar deteriorándolos. The first of these four zones is usually the most suitable for placing other accessories in it that have to be compatible with the presence of a DPIB, such as, for example, the accessories that are mounted, easily and comfortably, on the rail that to this end they usually have some weapons, particularly you cut them Therefore, it is not convenient to use this area to locate systems of this type since they would occupy the space in which other accessories could be installed. The zone corresponding to the barrel is a part of the weapon that is subject to great variations of the physical parameters that characterize it and this could interfere with the proper functioning of the accessories located in this area, producing in them unwanted effects that can end up deteriorating them.
En el caso de la zona correspondiente a la empuñadura, aparte de que la propia colocación de las manos, aun considerando que se haga sin el uso de guantes, puede dificultar el correcto funcionamiento de un DPIB, la posible obstrucción parcial o total del haz luminoso hace que sea necesario que este tipo de sistemas sobresalgan ligeramente, con el consiguiente efecto negativo que esto tiene para su ergonomía y facilidad de uso. In the case of the area corresponding to the handle, apart from the fact that the placement of the hands, even considering that it is done without the use of gloves, can hinder the proper functioning of a DPIB, the possible partial or total obstruction of the light beam It makes it necessary for these types of systems to stand out slightly, with the consequent negative effect this has for their ergonomics and ease of use.
También es muy probable que, como ocurre con los DPIB situados en la zona del lateral del arma, existan dificultades para operar adecuadamente debido a la posible interacción u obstrucción que también pueden ocasionar las diversas palancas que suele haber en esta zona. De hecho, para salvar este último inconveniente en aquellas armas con este tipo de palancas y, particularmente, en aquellas que además ofrecen una disponibilidad de las mismas para su uso ambidiestro (como parece ser el caso en las cada vez más frecuentes pistolas con armazón de polímero), es necesario desarrollar un nuevo tipo de DPIB. It is also very likely that, as with the DPIBs located in the area of the side of the weapon, there are difficulties to operate properly due to the possible interaction or obstruction that can also cause the various levers that usually exist in this area. In fact, to overcome this last problem in those weapons with this type of levers and, particularly, in those that also offer an availability of them for ambidextrous use (as seems to be the case in the increasingly frequent guns with frame of polymer), it is necessary to develop a new type of DPIB.
Se hace necesaria, a la vista de todo lo anterior, una solución que permita mantener las prestaciones que se esperan de este tipo de sistemas de puntería sin que muestre o empeore ninguno de los inconvenientes para los DPIB existentes en cada una de las cuatro zonas mencionadas, y que ofrezca una ventaja competitiva frente a ellos. DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓN It is necessary, in view of all the above, a solution that allows maintaining the expected performance of this type of aiming systems without showing or worsening any of the inconveniences for existing DPIBs in each of the four areas mentioned , and that offers a competitive advantage over them.

REALIZACIÓN PREFERENTE DE LA INVENCIÓN PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION
A la vista de las figuras se describen a continuación dos posibles realizaciones del dispositivo de puntería por iluminación del blanco (DPIB) para armas que constituye el objeto de la invención, en el que el arma comprende al menos un cañón (1 ), un armazón (10), que presenta sendos laterales y que dispone de una zona trasera, de una zona delantera, una empuñadura (2) provista a su vez de una zona trasera, dos laterales y otra zona delantera, y un gatillo (3). In view of the figures, two possible embodiments of the target lighting target device (DPIB) for weapons constituting the object of the invention are described below, in which the weapon comprises at least one barrel (1), a frame (10), which has two sides and has a rear zone, a front zone, a handle (2) provided with a rear zone, two sides and another front zone, and a trigger (3).
En una primera realización, representada en las figuras 1 a 4, el DPIB comprende un soporte (7) que envuelve el armazón (10) del arma por ambos lados, desde la parte trasera de la empuñadura (2) del arma hacia la parte delantera. Los componentes del DPIB se encuentran situados en distintas ubicaciones de dicho soporte (7). En una segunda realización, representada en las figuras 5 a 7, el DPIB se encuentra integrado en el arma, siendo su propio armazón (10) el que ofrece la funcionalidad que tiene el soporte (7) para alojar los componentes en una distribución similar a la de la primera realización. En cualquier caso, el DPIB se puede activar intuitivamente en posición de disparo, sin que el dispositivo interfiera con los mecanismos que el arma pueda tener en sus laterales. In a first embodiment, shown in Figures 1 to 4, the DPIB comprises a support (7) that wraps the frame (10) of the weapon on both sides, from the rear of the handle (2) of the weapon towards the front . The DPIB components are located in different locations of said support (7). In a second embodiment, represented in figures 5 to 7, the DPIB is integrated in the weapon, its own frame (10) being the one that offers the functionality that the support (7) has to accommodate the components in a distribution similar to that of the first embodiment. In any case, the DPIB can be intuitively activated in the firing position, without the device interfering with the mechanisms that the weapon may have on its sides.
Como el experto en la materia observará, cada tipo de montaje está relacionado con respectivas posibles realizaciones preferidas del objeto de la invención, si bien en cualquiera de los casos se hace uso de un iluminador (6) adaptado para emitir al menos un haz luminoso (preferiblemente tipo láser) sustancialmente paralelo al eje del cañón (1 ) del arma, una vez montado o integrado en ella para que pueda cumplir su función como DPIB. As the person skilled in the art will observe, each type of assembly is related to respective possible preferred embodiments of the object of the invention, although in any case use is made of an illuminator (6) adapted to emit at least one light beam ( preferably type laser) substantially parallel to the axis of the barrel (1) of the weapon, once mounted or integrated in it so that it can fulfill its function as DPIB.
En las figuras 1 a 4 se muestra la posible primera realización del objeto de la invención que detalla el DPIB para armas mediante el soporte (7) que se fija al arma. Figures 1 to 4 show the possible first embodiment of the object of the invention detailing the DPIB for weapons by means of the support (7) that is fixed to the weapon.
En esta primera realización el dispositivo comprende el citado soporte (7), el cual presenta una configuración, preferiblemente en forma de "U", que comprende un sector posterior (13) configurado para adaptarse sobre la zona trasera de la empuñadura (2) del arma y unos sectores laterales (1 1 , 12) alargados que parten esencialmente paralelos desde el sector posterior (13) y que están configurados para adaptarse, cada uno de ellos, sobre un lado del armazón (10) del arma y más concretamente sobre la zona delantera de dicho armazón (10). In this first embodiment, the device comprises said support (7), which has a configuration, preferably in the form of "U", which comprises a rear sector (13) configured to adapt on the rear area of the handle (2) of the weapon and elongated lateral sectors (1 1, 12) that start essentially parallel from the rear sector (13) and that are configured to adapt, each of them, on one side of the frame (10) of the weapon and more specifically on the front area of said frame (10).
Se entiende por zona delantera del lateral del armazón (10), las dos zonas adelantadas de éste respecto a la empuñadura (2), y más concretamente la definida entre las situadas entre las inmediaciones del gatillo (3) y el extremo libre del cañón (1 ). The front area of the side of the frame (10) is understood as the two forward areas of the latter with respect to the handle (2), and more specifically the one defined between those located between the vicinity of the trigger (3) and the free end of the barrel ( one ).
Tal como se aprecia en la figura 1 el iluminador (6) se encuentra en el extremo de un sector lateral (1 1 ) del soporte (7). Dicho iluminador (6) puede comprender al menos un módulo de generación de haz luminoso (preferentemente de tipo láser), y se ubica en una posición lo suficientemente adelantada como para evitar otros elementos propios del arma u otros accesorios ubicados en esta zona y que puedan interferir en su función. En la figura 3 se observa que el soporte (7) alberga asimismo en el sector posterior (13) de la empuñadura (2) un activador (4) que activa de forma intuitiva el iluminador (6) al cual se encuentra conectado eléctricamente. Por otra parte el soporte (7) dispone asimismo en otro sector lateral (12), opuesto al sector lateral (1 1 ) que alberga el iluminador (6), de una fuente de energía (5) que está conectada eléctricamente, tanto al iluminador (6) como al activador (4) intuitivo para suministrarles energía. As can be seen in Figure 1, the illuminator (6) is located at the end of a side section (1 1) of the support (7). Said illuminator (6) can comprise at least one light beam generation module (preferably of laser type), and is located in a position sufficiently advanced to avoid other elements of the weapon or other accessories located in this area and that can interfere in its function. Figure 3 shows that the support (7) also houses an activator (4) on the rear section (13) of the handle (2) that intuitively activates the illuminator (6) to which it is electrically connected. By On the other hand, the support (7) also has another side sector (12), opposite the side sector (1 1) that houses the illuminator (6), of a power source (5) that is electrically connected, both to the illuminator ( 6) as to the intuitive activator (4) to supply them with energy.
La fuente de energía (5) puede tener asociado y conectado eléctricamente a la misma un interruptor (8), el cual se aprecia en la figura 2. En esta realización se pueden encontrar la fuente de energía (5) y el interruptor (8) juntos y situados en el lateral opuesto al lado en el cual se encuentra ubicado el iluminador (6); si bien en una realización alternativa tanto el interruptor (8) como la o las fuentes de energía (5) se pueden disponer en otras ubicaciones. The power source (5) can have a switch (8) associated and electrically connected thereto, which can be seen in Figure 2. In this embodiment, the power source (5) and the switch (8) can be found together and located on the side opposite the side on which the illuminator (6) is located; although in an alternative embodiment both the switch (8) and the energy source (5) can be arranged in other locations.
En esta realización es de capital importancia fijar adecuadamente el dispositivo objeto de la invención al arma sin producir ningún tipo de alteración en ella. Para ello se puede hacer uso de al menos un elemento de fijación, tal como uno o más pasadores (9) de punta roscada que sustituyen a otro u otros de los existentes en el arma, vinculando entre sí los sectores laterales (1 1 , 12) del soporte (7), siendo tanto más favorable cuanto más adelantada sea la posición de uno de los pasadores (9), tal y como se aprecia en la figura 4. In this embodiment it is of paramount importance to properly fix the device object of the invention to the weapon without producing any type of alteration in it. To this end, use can be made of at least one fixing element, such as one or more threaded tip pins (9) that replace another or other of those existing in the weapon, linking the lateral sectors (1 1, 12) ) of the support (7), the more favorable the more advanced the position of one of the pins (9), as shown in Figure 4.
El soporte (7) está adaptado ergonómicamente a la forma de la empuñadura (2) y del resto del arma, de modo que una vez montado en ella no afecte sustancialmente al equilibrio, sujeción, manejo o disparo del arma. El activador (4) intuitivo puede ser operado por el usuario para encender y apagar el iluminador (6) mientras el arma se mantiene en posición de disparo, sin requerir de un desplazamiento significativo de las manos y sin que este accionamiento distraiga al usuario del arma de la acción de disparo en la que se encuentra inmerso. Todo el soporte (7) y concretamente el iluminador (6) está diseñado para mantenerlo firmemente sujeto en su posición en el arma, de modo que en el módulo de generación del haz luminoso puedan alinearse de una manera estable los ejes longitudinales del iluminador (6) y del cañón (1 ) del arma, de modo que esta alineación no se vea alterada por los posibles efectos del retroceso de los disparos. El iluminador (6) se ubica tan cerca como sea posible del eje del cañón (1 ) para minimizar los efectos de paralaje y contribuir así también a la mencionada alineación. Para ello la posición del módulo de generación del haz luminoso que emite el iluminador (6) debe poder ser ajustada, tanto en alza como en deriva, para lograr la alineación longitudinal de dicho haz con el eje del arma. El objetivo de todas estas medidas es dotar al haz emitido por el dispositivo de la mayor coincidencia posible entre el punto de impacto del proyectil disparado por el arma y la zona señalada a tal fin por el iluminador (6). The support (7) is ergonomically adapted to the shape of the handle (2) and the rest of the weapon, so that once mounted it does not substantially affect the balance, support, handling or firing of the weapon. The intuitive trigger (4) can be operated by the user to turn the illuminator on and off (6) while the weapon is in firing position, without requiring a significant movement of the hands and without this drive distracting the user from the weapon of the firing action in which you are immersed. The entire support (7) and specifically the illuminator (6) is designed to hold it firmly in position in the weapon, so that the longitudinal axes of the illuminator (6) can be aligned in a stable manner in the light beam generation module ) and of the gun (1) of the weapon, so that this alignment is not altered by the possible effects of the recoil of the shots. The illuminator (6) is located as close as possible to the barrel axis (1) to minimize the effects of parallax and thus also contribute to the aforementioned alignment. For this, the position of the light beam generation module emitted by the illuminator (6) must be able to be adjusted, both upward and drifting, to achieve the longitudinal alignment of said beam with the axis of the weapon. The objective of all these measures is to provide the beam emitted by the device with the greatest possible coincidence between the point of impact of the projectile fired by the weapon and the area indicated for that purpose by the illuminator (6).
El dispositivo objeto de la presente invención puede adaptarse alterando la forma y dimensiones del soporte (7), de modo que se posibilite su montaje en una gran variedad de modelos de armas de diversos fabricantes que, a su vez, presentan multitud de configuraciones diferentes de sus empuñaduras y armazones. Esto puede implicar una localización diferente de un iluminador (6) o de varios pero parecida a la actual o en el lado contrario a la de esta, contando cada uno de ellos con al menos un módulo generador de un haz luminoso, del activador (4) intuitivo también situado en una posición similar a la de esta realización, de la fuente de energía (5) y del interruptor (8), en las mismas o en otras posiciones indicadas en esta realización sin que nada de esto afecte a los principios de la presente invención. The device object of the present invention can be adapted by altering the shape and dimensions of the support (7), so that it is possible to mount it in a wide variety of weapon models of various manufacturers that, in turn, have a multitude of different configurations of its handles and frames. This may involve a different location of one illuminator (6) or several but similar to the current one or on the opposite side to that, with each one having at least one module generating a light beam, the activator (4 ) intuitive also located in a position similar to that of this embodiment, of the power source (5) and of the switch (8), in the same or in other positions indicated in this embodiment without any of this affecting the principles of The present invention.

El iluminador (6) se integra en el arma y su integración se lleva a cabo junto con un ajuste del módulo generador del haz luminoso del iluminador (6), de tal manera que dicho haz quede alineado con el eje del cañón (1 ) del arma. In a second possible embodiment of the object of the invention, represented in figures 5 to 7, the device is integrated in the weapon and the frame itself (10) offers the functionality provided for the support (7) in the first embodiment, housing the aforementioned components of the DPIB in a distribution similar to that given in the support (7). The illuminator (6) is integrated into the weapon and its integration is carried out together with an adjustment of the light beam generator module of the illuminator (6), so that said beam is aligned with the barrel axis (1) of the weapon.
Asimismo, en esta segunda realización, tal y como se observa en la figura 7, el activador (4) se encuentra integrado en la parte posterior y superior de la empuñadura (2) y conectado mediante una conexión definida en el interior del arma a, al menos, el iluminador (6). Igualmente la fuente de energía (5) se encuentra integrada en el propio arma, tal y como se ha representado en la figura 6; fuente de energía (5) que, al igual que en la primera realización, se encuentra conectada al activador (4) y al iluminador (6), si bien en este caso dicha conexión se encuentra definida en el interior del arma. En el caso de que se incorpore un interruptor (8), mostrado en la figura 6, éste se integra junto a la fuente de energía (5) de modo que el interruptor (8) también se encuentre integrado en el arma. Also, in this second embodiment, as seen in Figure 7, the activator (4) is integrated in the rear and upper part of the handle (2) and connected by a defined connection inside the weapon a, at least the illuminator (6). Likewise, the energy source (5) is integrated into the weapon itself, as shown in Figure 6; power source (5) which, as in the first embodiment, is connected to the activator (4) and the illuminator (6), although in this case said connection is defined inside the weapon. In the event that a switch (8), shown in Figure 6, is incorporated, it is integrated next to the power source (5) so that the switch (8) is also integrated in the weapon.
De este modo en la segunda realización del objeto de la invención, el arma integra un DPIB, que también comprende componentes de los tres tipos principales de los que estaba dotado el de la primera realización: el iluminador (6) con al menos un módulo de generación de haz luminoso, integrado en un lateral de una zona delantera del armazón (10), el activador (4) intuitivo, integrado en la zona trasera y superior de la empuñadura (2) y destinado a activar la emisión del haz procedente del iluminador (6), y la fuente de energía (5) integrada en un lateral de una zona delantera del armazón (10) opuesta a la ubicación del iluminador (6) y destinada a alimentar al menos al iluminador (6) y al activador (4) intuitivo. Pudiendo ubicarse tanto la o las fuentes de energía (5) como su interruptor (8) en otras posiciones más adecuadas para la ergonomía del arma si así lo requieren las características de ésta así como pudiendo existir más de un iluminador (6), situado en una zona similar a la de esta realización o enfrentado a ésta, que cuente con uno o varios módulos de generación de haz luminoso, sin que nada de esto afecte a los principios de la presente invención. Thus, in the second embodiment of the object of the invention, the weapon integrates a DPIB, which also comprises components of the three main types of which the first embodiment was provided: the illuminator (6) with at least one module of light beam generation, integrated in one side of a front area of the frame (10), the intuitive activator (4), integrated in the rear and upper area of the handle (2) and intended to activate the emission of the beam from the illuminator (6), and the power source (5) integrated on one side of a front area of the frame (10) opposite the location of the illuminator (6) and intended to feed at least the illuminator (6) and the intuitive activator (4).
