A SAFETY SYSTEM FOR FIREARMS

摘要

A firearm enabling and disabling electronic system comprising a base unit (1 ) and a safety device (4) adapted to be incorporated into a firearm (7). Each of the base unit (1 ) and the safety device (4) has a transmitter and/or receiver (2, 5) adapted to exchange and process wireless command signals with each other. The safety device (4) has an actuating circuit (6) which is controlled by the transmitter and/or receiver (5) of the safety device (4) and is adapted to actuate a locking mechanism (8), wherein the locking mechanism is operable to prevent a firearm from firing. The wireless command signal (9) is operable within a predetermined distance between the base unit (1 ) and the safety device (4) so that when the safety device (4) is located within the predetermined distance from the base unit (1 ), transmitters and/or receivers (2, 5) exchange the wireless command signal which causes the transmitter and/or receiver (5) of the safety device (4) to prompt the actuating circuit (6) to actuate the locking mechanism (8) thereby causing the locking mechanism (8) to assume a locking mode in which a firearm (7) is prevented from firing.
