Patent ID: 8608474

Claim:
A recoil impulse generator for a weapon simulator comprising a force storage element, and an impulse mass that can be moved and that is moved from a stressed to an unstressed position when a triggering element is actuated by the force storage element in order to simulate a recoil impulse, wherein the recoil impulse generator encompasses furthermore: a drive that propels a spindle to rotate during a shot sequence that simulates several shots; a coupling that is connected with the impulse mass and the force storage element and that engages the spindle in the engaged state and is moved through the rotation of the spindle along the same in order to convey the impulse mass into the stressed position against the force applied by the force storage element; a disengagement means that switches the coupling into a disengaged state when the impulse mass has reached the stressed position; and an engagement means that switches the coupling into an engaged state when the impulse mass has reached the unstressed position.
