Patent ID: 6863532

Claim:
Equipment for detecting a direct hit on a target by a signal from a simulated weapon in a system comprising a weapon ( 10 , 30 ) and a target ( 11 , 12 , 38 , 45 ), wherein: said weapon ( 10 , 30 ) comprises a signal emitter ( 14 , 33 ) operated by a switch ( 16 , 35 ) and a trigger ( 18 , 36 ); said target consisting essentially of flexible solar cells ( 19 , 20 , 38 a , 41 - 44 ) affixed to a supporting element ( 12 , 11 , 38 , 45 ), said flexible solar cells ( 19 , 20 , 38 a , 41 - 44 ) provided with a red film, said flexible solar cells being operatively connected to an electronic detection circuit for detecting a signal or laser shot received by said flexible solar cells, said supporting elements being worn by a targeted individual, said signal emitter being associated with a barrel of a pistol ( 10 ) or a rifle ( 30 ) or emitting said signal or laser shot; said equipment further comprising a control device ( 50 ) wherein: said control device comprises a RISC microcontroller ( 56 ) with a power supply; said control device including a direct hit indicator ( 59 ), and a flashing green signaler ( 60 ) for indicating whether said weapon is unloaded, and a magazine signaler ( 58 ) for detecting if magazines ( 17 , 40 ) in said weapon are connected to said microcontroller ( 56 ), wherein said microcontroller ( 56 ) prevents said weapon from being fired when said hit indicator ( 59 ) is on; wherein said microcontroller ( 56 ), further comprises an amplification and filtering chain to eliminate random components from said signal and to make said signal compatible with said microcontroller ( 56 ), wherein said chain comprises an attenuator circuit ( 51 ) fitted upstream from an amplifier ( 54 ), which is integrated upstream and downstream from high-pass filters ( 52 ), further comprising a low-pass filter ( 53 ) on a power supply, wherein an output of said amplifier ( 54 ) is attached to said microcontroller ( 56 ) by a Schmitt trigger ( 55 ) possessing a 1% opening of a voltage which allows an additional low-pass filter ( 53 ) to remove all possible high frequency components which could interfere with functioning of said microcontroller ( 56 ).
