Patent ID: 7030729

Claim:
Electromechanical safety apparatus for weapons ( 1 ), provided with a mechanical safety device, comprising a base electronic unit, actuating an electromechanical transducer ( 2 ) acting on the safety mechanical device, and at least a transmitter—responder, or transponder ( 5 ), the base unit providing a central control and processing unit, connected with a transceiver unit( 4 ), continuously transmitting an enquiry signal, able to talk with said at least one transponder ( 5 ), when the latter is within the transmission range of the transceiver unit ( 4 ), said at least one transponder ( 5 ) having no power supply and receiving the power necessary to its operation from the signal transmitted by the transceiver unit ( 4 ), said at least one transponder ( 5 ) transmitting, when supplied, an identification code, the base unit actuating the electromechanical transducer ( 2 ) in such a way to release the safety mechanical device when receives an identification code corresponding to a code stored into the base unit and actuating the electromechanical transducer ( 2 ) in such a way to insert the safety mechanical device as soon as the base unit no more receives said identification code, wherein the electromechanical transducer ( 2 ) comprises a ratio-motor ( 18 ), operated by the base unit, interacting with a mechanical reduction gear ( 19 ) acting on the safety mechanical device by a shaped cam ( 23 ) movable between two limit positions, corresponding to the insertion and the releasing of the mechanical safety device, said two limit positions being respectively revealed by two corresponding limit microswitches ( 21 , 22 ) disabling the supply of the ratio-motor ( 18 ).
