Embodiment Construction

[0028]Below, FIGS. 1a, 1b, 2a, 2b and 2c show illustrations of shot counter devices 12 for firearms 11, for example, pistols and rifles which include a viewing panel 21 placed preferably round the firearm's aiming system, so that the screen in itself is oriented towards the shooter's sight, and therefore, within the field of vision of the sighting system.

[0029]FIG. 3 shows a block diagram of the shot counter 12 which includes a first means of perception or sensor 32 which is adapted to perceive certain physical characteristics relating to the action of the shot made with the firearm 11.

[0030]In the case of a firearm with a dynamic firing cycle, the function of counting the number of shots fired is based on the times or speeds of displacement of an element associated with the firearm's closing system for example. In this case, the sensor 32 includes one or more sensors which may be magnetic, or of the electromagnetic radiation type, irrespective of whether or not they are visible to ...

Abstract

Device (12) for counting the total number of shots fired by a firearm (11) and those fired with a same loader mounted on the weapon by means of the acquisition, analysis and interpretation of physical parameters relating to its firing cycle, in such a way that the information obtained is shown in real time on a visual display unit with the activation, visual display and setting to zero being automatic actions without intervention from the user, by means of a computer programme, with it being possible to carry out such operations manually as well. The visual display unit may show other parameters of the firearm's operation (11) such as the temperature of those points most likely to overheat so that the weapon may be used with safety and precision.

Description

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention refers, in general, to a device for counting shots fired with a firearm. More specifically, this invention refers to a device which counts the shots made with a firearm, albeit an automatic, semiautomatic or manual weapon, by means of the acquisition, analysis and interpretation of signals generated in the firearm's firing cycle. The device functions automatically, activating, disconnecting and setting at zero when the ammunition is consumed from the loader in use, therefore the firearm user does not intervene in the operation of the aforementioned device, and furthermore is provided with information on the ammunition consumption in real time as it is produced.STATE OF THE ART[0002]Currently the improvement of firearms, such as short arms or pistols has led to a pistol loader having a capacity to house more than a dozen cartridges, for example, 18 cartridges.[0003]In a revolver type firearm, that is, a firearm which has drum normally able ...
