Abstract
The various embodiments herein provide a fire restraining device for selective target shooting in a weapon with a safety lock comprises an infrared sensor, a central computing unit, and a rack and pinion or a shot pin module. The infrared sensor detects a temperature of a target in front of a nozzle of the weapon. The infrared sensor is connected to the central computing unit. The infrared sensor sends the temperature data of the target to the central computing unit. The rack and pinion module or the shot pin module is connected with the central computing unit at one side and the safety lock on another end. The present fire restraining device allows a gunner to control the firing shots over a human or unwanted targets which reduces false fatalities in close combats.
Claims
1. A fire restraining device for selective target shooting in a weapon with a safety lock comprises: an infrared sensor, wherein the infrared sensor detects a temperature of a target in front of a nozzle of the weapon; a central computing unit, wherein the infrared sensor is connected to the central computing unit, wherein the infrared sensor sends a temperature data of the target to the central computing unit; a rack and pinion module, wherein the rack and pinion module comprises a rack and a pinion, wherein the rack and pinion module is connected with the central computing unit at one side and the safety lock on another end; wherein the central computing unit activates the pinion to move the rack in a counter-clockwise direction to engage the safety lock on detecting the temperature data sent from the infrared sensor in a “unwanted temperature range”.
2. The fire restraining device according to claim 1, wherein the unwanted temperature range is 85-105 degree Fahrenheit.
3. The fire restraining device according to claim 1, wherein the central computing unit activates the pinion in a clockwise direction to disengage the safety lock on detecting the temperature data sent from the infrared sensor outside the “unwanted temperature range”.
4. A fire restraining device for selective target shooting in a weapon with a safety lock comprises: an infrared sensor, wherein the infrared sensor detects a temperature of a target in front of a nozzle of the weapon; a central computing unit, wherein the infrared sensor is connected to the central computing unit, and wherein the infrared sensor sends a temperature data of the target to the central computing unit; a shot pin module, wherein the shot pin module is connected with the central computing unit at one side; wherein the central computing unit activates the shot pin module in a forward direction to disenable a trigger on detecting the temperature data sent from the infrared sensor in a “unwanted temperature range”.
5. The fire restraining device according to claim 4, wherein the central computing unit activates the shot pin module to move in a backward direction to enable the trigger on detecting the temperature data sent from the infrared sensor outside the “unwanted temperature range”.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
(5) In the following detailed description, a reference is made to the accompanying drawings that form a part hereof, and in which the specific embodiments that may be practiced is shown by way of illustration. The embodiments are described in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to practice the embodiments and it is to be understood that the logical, mechanical and other changes may be made without departing from the scope of the embodiments. The following detailed description is therefore not to be taken in a limiting sense.
(6)
(7) According to one embodiment herein, the unwanted temperature range is 85-105 degree Fahrenheit.
(8) According to one embodiment herein, the central computing unit activates the shot pin module to move in a backward direction to enable the trigger on detecting the temperature data sent from the infrared sensor outside the “unwanted temperature range”.
(9) According to one embodiment herein, the infrared device detects whether or not the weapon is aiming at a human target (by temperature) and then transmits back to the control panel (central computing unit) which sends the signal to the actuator (a safety lock or a trigger lock), thereby disabling the weapon.
(10) Different weapons use different triggering styles which varies on the basis of a weapon model. The design of the fire restraining device is adaptable to the triggering style of the weapon.
(11) Any alterations to the fire restraining device like trying to remove or disable the device puts the safety “on”.
(12) When the batteries are low, the fire restraining device automatically put the safety “on”.
(13)
(14) According to one embodiment herein, the unwanted temperature range is 85-105 degree Fahrenheit.
(15) According to one embodiment herein, the central computing unit activates the pinion in a clockwise direction to disengage the safety lock on detecting the temperature data sent from the infrared sensor outside the “unwanted temperature range”.
(16) The present fire restraining device allows a gunner to control the firing shots over a human or unwanted targets which reduces false fatalities in close combats. Also due to a least complex design, the present fire restraining device is adaptable to fitted in a wide range of firing weapons.
(17) It is to be understood that the phraseology or terminology employed herein is for the purpose of description and not of limitation. Therefore, while the embodiments herein have been described in terms of preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art will recognize that the embodiments herein can be practiced with modification within the spirit and scope of the claims.
