AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention is a system that can detect if a cartridge is in a firearm chamber, even if the user touches the metal parts of the weapon. This helps ensure that the system is reliable and can provide a clear indication of the presence or absence of the cartridge.

Problems solved by technology

However, the measurement of the impedance may be affected by the user's presence, since the measurement may be distorted depending on whether the user comes into contact with metal parts of the weapon or not.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a cartridge-in-chamber detection system for firearms which is independent in situations where the user comes into contact with metal parts of the weapon or situations where said contact does not exist, to provide a reliable indication of the presence or absence of the cartridge in the chamber, where the system comprises means to, through a supply voltage, determine the variation of the electrical capacity between two possible states of the system, when there is no cartridge in the chamber and when there is a cartridge in the chamber, making use of at least one electrode, regardless of the grip performed by the user.
