Device for use in safety system for protecting handgun against unauthorized use, has interface designed as wired interface, through which information is transmitted as electrical energy supplied to processing unit of locking mechanism

摘要

The device has an interface is designed as a wired interface, through which the information is transmitted as electrical energy supplied to a processing unit (2) of an electro-mechanically trained locking mechanism (3). The wired interface is designed as a data bus connection, particularly a Universal serial bus interface (4). A weapons lock (1) is designed for a releasable attachment to a trigger or for operating a handgun. The weapons lock has a storage unit (5) related with the processing unit in a data exchange, where the reference information is stored in the storage unit. An independent claim is included for a method for protecting a handgun from unauthorized use.
