Abstract: The present invention relates to a locking element to be insertable into a cartridge chamber of a firearm, the locking element having a proximal end and a distal end. The locking element includes an outer sleeve with a movable operating element provided therein, wherein the sleeve includes a (first) diameter such that the sleeve is snugly insertable into the cartridge chamber from the cartridge chamber side, but the diameter being larger than the diameter of the barrel of the firearm. The at least one blocking element is pressed against the wall of the cartridge chamber if external pressure is applied from the distal end to the operating element.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a safety means for weapons. The safety means comprises an electronic control unit for the authentication of an authorized user and the control of a safety mechanism. The safety mechanism mechanically engages with at least one mechanical part of the ignition chain so that said ignition chain is interrupted and firing is prevented. The safety mechanism comprises an actuator for releasing said engagement of the safety mechanism in case the electronic control unit identifies an authentication signal. The safety means according to the present invention is provided in a retrofit main component part of a weapon, which replaces a corresponding original main component part of the weapon. The safety means is preferably controllable by a transponder.

Abstract: Device for the storage of a gun with a base, a safety unit for the secure storage of the gun on the base and a controller, wherein the safety unit can be inserted at least partially into the barrel and/or a cartridge chamber of the gun and comprises a first safety section, which can be brought into a safety state, in which the safety unit is secured in the gun, and into a release state, in which the safety unit can be separated from the gun, and the controller brings the first safety section into its release state when a user authorization is received.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a locking element (42) to be insertable into a cartridge chamber (420) of a firearm, said locking element having a proximal end (220) and a distal end (260). The locking element comprises an outer sleeve (14) with a movable operating element (16) provided therein, wherein the sleeve (14) comprises a (first) diameter such that the sleeve (14) is snugly insertable into the cartridge chamber (420) from the cartridge chamber side, but said diameter being larger than the diameter of the barrel (6) of the firearm.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a locking element to be inserted into the barrel and/or the cartridge chamber of a firearm, said locking element comprising: a sleeve with an actuator, an operating element and a wedge element provided therein, wherein the operating element is at least partially provided movably within the wedge element. The actuator can insert the operating element into the wedge element which causes the wedge element to expand and be pressed against the wall of the barrel thus blocking the barrel. The actuator can also move the operating element out of the wedge element so that the wedge element can move back into a position in which the locking element can be removed from the barrel wherein the actuator is operated via an electronic device located in the locking device or a separate operating unit.
