The present invention generally relates to a firing target for firearms shooting training.
Firing targets for firearms shooting training that are adapted to at least partly capture or trap bullets, bullet fragments and other bullet residues after impact are known in the art. Such targets are described in particular in publications DE 93 21 164 U1, DE 43 17 742 A1, DE 20 2004 005 719 U1, WO 2009/035401 A2, US 2016/0116260 A1 and US 2017/0248393 A1.
These solutions are not however sufficient to effectively capture and trap bullets fired by a handgun or a long gun, in particular when firing at short distance, or even very short distance.
In particular, these targets pose a significant risk of injury to the shooter due to possible fragments generated on impact of the bullets and/or possible ricochets, in particular in case of poorly aimed shots. These firing targets therefore do not provide satisfactory protection from the point of view of the safety of the shooters, and are therefore essentially used for distance shooting that badly or poorly reflects real conditions of engagement of firearms by police or security forces for example.
These known targets also pose problems from an ecological point of view in that the bullets and bullet fragments are not effectively trapped by the target, and even less collected in the target itself, and are therefore liable to end their travel in the environment of the target, which necessitates specific and potentially costly treatment of the waste occasioned by repeated shots.
A particularly advantageous solution to address the aforementioned problems forms the subject-matter of European patent application No. 16203505.9 of Dec. 12, 2016 (published as EP 3 333 531 A1) and corresponding international (PCT) application No. PCT/IB2017/056851 of Nov. 3, 2017 (published as WO 2018/109575 A1), both filed in the name of the present Applicant and entitled “CIBLE D'ENTRAÎNEMENT AU TIR PAR ARME À FEU” (“FIRING TARGET FOR FIREARM SHOOTING TRAINING”).
Tests carried out by the Applicant on the target forming the subject-matter of the aforementioned two applications have led the Applicant to carry out improvements enabling further enhancement of shooter safety, reduction of the environmental impact resulting from the use of the targets, and simplification and enhancement of the robustness of the firing target, which improvements form the subject matter of the present invention.
A general aim of the present invention is therefore to improve firing targets for firearms shooting training.
More specifically, an aim of the present invention is to provide a firing target for firearms shooting training that assures optimum protection to the shooters.
Furthermore, an aim of the present invention is to provide a firing target for firearms shooting training whose environmental impact resulting from its use is reduced and that makes it possible to facilitate treatment of waste resulting from shooting training, in particular recovery and possible recycling of bullets, bullet fragments and other bullet residues.
Another aim of the present invention is to provide a firing target for firearms shooting training that is robust, easy to maintain and therefore economic to use.
In accordance with a first aspect of the present invention addressing these aims, there is provided a firing target for firearms shooting training comprising a bullet collecting casing, said bullet collecting casing comprising a lattice structure disposed inside the bullet collecting casing in front of a rear wall of the bullet collecting casing, which lattice structure is designed to dissipate kinetic energy of incident bullets and includes at least a first series of deflecting plates designed to deflect the trajectory of the incident bullets, which first series of deflecting plates is arranged according to a first inclined plane relative to the rear wall. The firing target further includes a protective screen placed in front of the lattice structure of the bullet collecting casing, on the trajectory of the incident bullets, and designed to halt any bullet fragments produced upon the bullets impacting the lattice structure. The target in accordance with this first aspect of the invention is characterized in that the lattice structure includes at least a second series of deflecting plates arranged according to a second inclined plane relative to the rear wall and distinct from the first inclined plane, which second series of deflecting plates is disposed between the first series of deflecting plates and the rear wall.
The first and second series of deflecting plates are preferably arranged such that the incident bullets are not able to impact directly the rear wall and are first deflected by the lattice structure. In the latter context, the first and second series of deflecting plates may advantageously be arranged in such a manner as to be contiguous.
In accordance with a preferred variant of the invention, the first and second inclined planes are planes inclined relative to a same horizontal plane, an angle formed between the first and second inclined planes preferably being of the order of 90°. In the latter context, the lattice structure may further include at least two vertical support plates arranged substantially perpendicularly to the rear wall, which vertical support plates are provided with first and second series of notches designed to receive the first and second series of deflecting plates. These first and second series of deflecting plates may in particular be mounted on the vertical support plates by simple nesting of said deflecting plates in the notches provided for that purpose.
In accordance with a particularly advantageous variant of the invention, a front edge of the bullet collecting casing is covered by a protective frame providing protection against direct bullet impacts, said protective frame being mounted in an interchangeable manner on said bullet collecting casing. This protective frame is preferably disposed between the front edge of the bullet collecting casing and the protective screen.
Incidentally, this variant constitutes an advantageous aspect of the present invention that may be implemented independently of the first aspect of the invention. There is therefore also provided, in accordance with a second aspect of the present invention, a firing target for firearms shooting training comprising a bullet collecting casing, said bullet collecting casing comprising a lattice structure disposed inside the bullet collecting casing in front of a rear wall of the bullet collecting casing, which lattice structure is designed to dissipate kinetic energy of incident bullets and includes a plurality of deflecting plates designed to deflect the trajectory of the incident bullets, said deflecting plates being arranged according to at least a first inclined plane relative to the rear wall. The firing target further includes a protective screen placed in front of the lattice structure of the bullet collecting casing, on the trajectory of the incident bullets, and designed to halt any bullet fragments produced upon the bullets impacting the lattice structure. The target in accordance with this second aspect of the invention is characterized in that a front edge of the bullet collecting casing is covered by a protective frame providing protection against direct bullet impacts, said protective frame being mounted in an interchangeable manner on said bullet collecting casing and being disposed between the front edge of the bullet collecting casing and the protective screen.
The protective screen may in particular be secured to the protective frame and to the front edge of the bullet collecting casing by a set of fixing elements disposed on left-hand and right-hand lateral sides of the firing target, said fixing elements preferably being disposed outside the bullet collecting casing, on either side of left-hand and right-hand lateral walls of the bullet collecting casing.
In accordance with a preferred variant of the invention, the protective frame may be supported on the front edge of the bullet collecting casing by a set of notches and corresponding extensions arranged on the protective frame and on the front edge of the bullet collecting casing, the protective frame preferably being provided with notches cooperating with corresponding extensions arranged on the front edge of the bullet collecting casing.
In accordance with another particularly advantageous variant of the invention, said protective screen consists of a plurality of nested elements secured to one another by means of a set of nestable securing elements.
Incidentally, this other variant also constitutes an advantageous aspect of the present invention that may be implemented independently of the aforementioned first and second aspects of the invention. There is therefore also provided, in accordance with a third aspect of the present invention, a firing target for firearms shooting training comprising a bullet collecting casing, said bullet collecting casing comprising a lattice structure disposed inside the bullet collecting casing in front of a rear wall of the bullet collecting casing, which lattice structure is designed to dissipate kinetic energy of incident bullets and includes a plurality of deflecting plates designed to deflect the trajectory of the incident bullets, said deflecting plates being arranged according to at least a first inclined plane relative to the rear wall. The firing target further includes a protective screen placed in front of the lattice structure of the bullet collecting casing, on the trajectory of the incident bullets, and designed to halt any bullet fragments produced upon the bullets impacting the lattice structure. The target in accordance with this third aspect of the invention is characterized in that said protective screen consists of a plurality of nested elements secured to one another by means of a set of nestable securing elements.
Said plurality of nested elements preferably includes a plurality of identical and interchangeable nested intermediate elements each including at least an upper nestable securing element designed to cooperate with a complementary nestable securing element of another, adjacent element of the protective screen placed immediately above it and at least a lower nestable securing element designed to cooperate with a complementary nestable securing element of another, adjacent element of the protective screen placed immediately below it.
In the latter context, in accordance with a preferred variant of the invention, each intermediate element may advantageously include a facade-forming portion directed toward the exterior of the firing target and a back-forming portion directed toward the interior of the firing target and the lattice structure located therein, the facade-forming portion being offset relative to the back-forming portion in such a manner as to form a shoulder on which an adjacent element of the protective screen comes to bear.
Each intermediate element preferably includes a pair of upper nestable securing elements and a pair of lower nestable securing elements complementary to the pair of upper nestable securing elements. To be more specific, in accordance with a preferred variant of the invention, the facade-forming portion and the back-forming portion are each provided with an upper nestable securing element and a lower nestable securing element complementary to the upper nestable securing element.
Moreover, in accordance with a further variant of the invention, said plurality of nested elements further includes an upper terminal element disposed in the top portion of the protective screen and nested in an upper portion of a first intermediate element, or top intermediate element, and a lower terminal element disposed in the bottom portion of the protective screen and nested in a lower portion of a final intermediate element, or bottom intermediate element. The upper terminal element is provided with at least a lower nestable securing element complementary to and cooperating with the upper nestable securing element of the top intermediate element. Likewise, the lower terminal element is provided with at least an upper nestable securing element complementary to and cooperating with the lower nestable securing element of the bottom intermediate element.
In accordance with a further advantageous variant of the invention, the deflecting plates are disposed such that, after impacting the lattice structure, the bullets and bullet fragments are conveyed by gravity firstly toward a rear portion of the bullet collecting casing forming a space between the lattice structure and the rear wall and then toward a collecting zone situated in a bottom portion of or below said space. The firing target preferably further includes a collecting bin disposed in said collecting zone in order to collect the bullets, bullet fragments and other bullet residues.
Incidentally, this other variant constitutes a further advantageous aspect of the present invention that may be implemented independently of the first to third aspects of the invention mentioned above. There is therefore also provided, in accordance with a fourth aspect of the present invention, a firing target for firearms shooting training comprising a bullet collecting casing, said bullet collecting casing comprising a lattice structure disposed inside the bullet collecting casing in front of a rear wall of the bullet collecting casing, which lattice structure is designed to dissipate kinetic energy of incident bullets and includes a plurality of deflecting plates designed to deflect the trajectory of the incident bullets, said deflecting plates being arranged according to at least a first inclined plane relative to the rear wall. The firing target further includes a protective screen placed in front of the lattice structure of the bullet collecting casing, on the trajectory of the incident bullets, and designed to halt any bullet fragments produced upon the bullets impacting the lattice structure. The target in accordance with this fourth aspect of the invention is characterized in that the deflecting plates are disposed such that, after impacting the lattice structure, the bullets and bullet fragments are conveyed by gravity firstly toward a rear portion of the bullet collecting casing forming a space between the lattice structure and the rear wall and then toward a collecting zone situated in a bottom portion of or below said space. Moreover, the firing target includes a collecting bin disposed in said collecting zone in order to collect the bullets, bullet fragments and other bullet residues.
By way of preference, the bullet collecting casing is mounted on a base and the collecting zone for the bullets and bullet fragments is situated below the bullet collecting casing, in said base, a lower wall of the bullet collecting casing, resting on said base, being provided with one or more orifices communicating with said collecting zone. In accordance with a preferred variant of the invention, the collecting bin is disposed in a removable manner in order to be removed from the firing target during maintenance operations.
To be more specific, in accordance with a particularly preferred variant of the invention, the collecting bin is disposed in a removable manner in the base in order to be removed from the firing target during maintenance operations. In this context, the base is preferably equipped with a locking device for locking the collecting bin, which locking device is arranged to lock the collecting bin against the lower wall of the bullet collecting casing and thereby enable the collecting of bullets, bullet fragments and other bullet residues or to unlock and release the collecting bin from the lower wall of the bullet collecting casing and thereby enable removal of the collecting bin.
In accordance with an advantageous variant of the invention, the collecting zone for the bullets and bullet fragments is accessible from the back of the firing target.
In accordance with a particularly advantageous variant of the invention, the lattice structure is mounted in a removable manner inside the bullet collecting casing, the firing target preferably comprising a securing mechanism for securing the lattice structure to the bullet collecting casing.
The lattice structure may in particular be mounted in a removable manner inside the bullet collecting casing and secured to the bullet collecting casing by a securing mechanism including a plurality of horizontal transverse bars passing through mounting orifices provided in the vertical support plates of the aforementioned preferred variant. These horizontal transverse bars are preferably fixed to the rear wall and secured at their ends to left-hand and right-hand lateral walls of said bullet collecting casing. These horizontal transverse bars may in particular be disposed between the deflecting plates and the rear wall in such a manner as not to be exposed to direct bullet impacts.
In accordance with another variant of the invention, the protective screen includes a back-forming section directed toward the interior of the firing target and the lattice structure located therein, which back-forming section is arranged to bear against the lattice structure and to form a plurality of corresponding compartmented zones.
Incidentally, the latter variant constitutes a further advantageous aspect of the present invention that may be implemented independently of the first to fourth aspects of the invention mentioned above. There is therefore also provided, in accordance with a fifth aspect of the present invention, a firing target for firearms shooting training comprising a bullet collecting casing, said bullet collecting casing comprising a lattice structure disposed inside the bullet collecting casing in front of a rear wall of the bullet collecting casing, which lattice structure is designed to dissipate kinetic energy of incident bullets and includes a plurality of deflecting plates designed to deflect the trajectory of the incident bullets, said deflecting plates being arranged according to at least a first inclined plane relative to the rear wall. The firing target further includes a protective screen placed in front of the lattice structure of the bullet collecting casing, on the trajectory of the incident bullets, and designed to halt any bullet fragments produced upon the bullets impacting the lattice structure. The target in accordance with this fifth aspect of the invention is characterized in that the protective screen includes a back-forming section directed toward the interior of the firing target and the lattice structure located therein, which back-forming section is arranged to bear against the lattice structure and to form a plurality of corresponding compartmented zones.
Each compartmented zone is preferably provided with an opening at its bottom to enable the evacuation by gravity of the bullets, bullet fragments and other bullet residues to a collecting zone.
The aforementioned back-forming section of the protective screen may also advantageously be provided with bulges coming to bear on the lattice structure.
Still in accordance with a preferred variant of the invention, the firing target is mobile and supported by a positioning device enabling adjustment of a ground position of said firing target. It may in particular be a rolling device including a set of castors at least one of which is steerable. The positioning device is preferably arranged on a lower portion of a plinth of the firing target, which plinth is provided with a protective skirt protecting said positioning device against direct bullet impacts. This protective skirt may also include a front edge forming a protrusion placed in front of the positioning device, which front edge may in particular comprise two essentially vertical deflecting plates forming an inverted “V”.
The firing target in accordance with the invention may moreover advantageously include a trim covering in particular the bullet collecting casing, which trim is made of a resilient material, in particular a synthetic material such as polyurethane, the protective screen preferably being made of the same resilient material as the trim. The aforementioned trim is of particular benefit for the purpose of also covering the aforementioned set of fixing elements disposed on the left-hand and right-hand lateral sides of the firing target.
The bullet collecting casing and the lattice structure may likewise advantageously be made of metal, preferably ballistic steel. Other aspects of the invention are disclosed in the remainder of the present description.
The features and advantages of the present invention will become more clearly apparent upon reading the following detailed description of embodiments of the invention, which are provided solely by way of non-restrictive examples and are illustrated by the appended drawings in which:
Various aspects of the present invention will be described with reference to various preferred embodiments as illustrated in particular by
As will be seen hereinafter, the protective screen 50 is placed in front of a bullet collecting casing as well as a lattice structure housed inside said bullet collecting casing, which elements are not directly visible in
As shown in
It will obviously be understood that the trim of the target 1 could have any other appropriate shape and that the illustrated trim elements 51-56 are in no way limiting the invention.
In accordance with the invention, the target 1 comprising the bullet collecting casing 100, the lattice structure 200 disposed inside said bullet collecting casing 100 in front of the rear wall 105, and the protective screen 50 placed in front of the lattice structure 200 assure efficient and optimum capture of incident bullets as well as of bullet fragments and possibly other bullet residues. To be more precise, the lattice structure 200 is designed to dissipate kinetic energy of the incident bullets and to this end includes a plurality of deflecting plates 201, 202 (partly visible in
Once stripped from the various trim elements 51, 52A, 52B, 53, 54, 55 and 56 and the protective screen 50, the target 1 reveals its internal structure (or skeleton) 10, which is more specifically illustrated in
By way of nonlimiting example, the bullet collecting casing 100 may have an essentially parallelepipedal shape comprising, in addition to the left-hand lateral wall 103, the right-hand lateral wall 104 and the rear wall 105, an upper wall 101 and a lower wall 102. In this preferred example the bullet collecting casing 100 is mounted by its lower wall 102 on the base 110 itself mounted on its plinth 120. The bullet collecting casing 100 is therefore vertically erected on its base 110 such that its open side is oriented toward the front, substantially in the direction of the shooting position, it being understood that the target in accordance with the invention enables shooting training with a wide range of angles of incidence relative to the plane formed by the rear wall 105 of the target 1.
The rear wall 105 is advantageously provided with an opening 105A (see
It may also be noted that the upper wall 101 of the bullet collecting casing 100 is here equipped with a mounting bracket 101A provided with mounting orifices 101B in particular for fixing the trim element 56 and a top portion of the protective screen 50. The lower wall 102 of the bullet collecting casing 100 is likewise equipped with a mounting bracket 102A also provided with a mounting orifice 102B in particular for fixing the trim element 55 and a bottom portion of the protective screen 50.
In the illustrations of
It will be noted that, in the illustrated embodiment, the protective frame 150 is disposed between the front edge of the bullet collecting casing 100 and the protective screen 50 (see also
A left-hand front crossmember 21 and a right-hand front crossmember 22 are moreover disposed between the front retaining elements 20A and the protective screen 50 in order to press the protective screen 50 optimally against the protective frame 150 and the front edge of the bullet collecting casing 100. Likewise, a left-hand rear crossmember 151 and a right-hand rear crossmember 152 are placed on the left-hand and right-hand rear lateral edges of the bullet collecting casing 100. Like the left-hand and right-hand exterior edges of the protective frame 150, the left-hand rear crossmember 151 and the right-hand rear crossmember 152 are structured to feature indentations at the positions where the holding rods 20 are disposed, here eleven in number on each lateral side.
In accordance with the illustrated preferred embodiment, the trim 51-56 partly covers the fixing elements 20/20A/20B disposed on the left-hand and right-hand lateral sides of the target 1. To be more precise, the trim element 51 covers the left-hand and right-hand lateral sides of the target 1, including the holding rods 20. Moreover, left-hand and right-hand trim elements 52A, 52B are placed in front of the front retaining elements 20A, thereby masking those elements 20A placed at the front end of the holding rods 20.
The aforementioned protective frame 150 can advantageously be supported on the front edge of the bullet collecting casing 100 by a set of notches and corresponding extensions arranged on the protective frame 150 and on the front edge of the bullet collecting casing 100. In the illustrated example (see in particular
In the illustrations of
The protective skirt 120A-B preferably comprises on its front edge essentially vertical deflecting plates 120A advantageously forming an inverted “V” as illustrated in the view of
This lattice structure 200 thus includes (see also
In accordance with a particularly preferred variant of the invention, as illustrated, the first and second inclined planes P1, P2 are planes inclined relative to a same horizontal plane P0 (see
The lattice structure 200 is advantageously mounted in a removable manner inside the bullet collecting casing 100 and may moreover include a securing mechanism for securing the lattice structure 200 to the bullet collecting casing 100. In the illustrated preferred example, this securing mechanism includes a plurality of (namely three) horizontal transverse bars 210 (visible in particular in
In the illustrated preferred embodiment, it can be seen that the deflecting plates 201, 202 are advantageously disposed such that, after impacting the lattice structure 200, bullets and bullet fragments are conveyed by gravity firstly toward a rear portion of the bullet collecting casing 100 forming a space 300 between the lattice structure 200 and the rear wall 105 (see in particular
Arranging the first and second series of deflecting plates 201, 202 in different planes P1, P2 is in this regard particularly advantageous. Indeed, on impacting the lattice structure 200 incident bullets undergo a plurality of successive rebounds against the deflecting plates 201, respectively 202, thereby drastically reducing their kinetic energy. The bullets are therefore greatly decelerated by these multiple rebounds on the deflecting plates 201, 202 such that bullets, bullet fragments and other bullet residues are therefore conveyed at low speed toward the rear portion of the bullet collecting casing 100 and the collecting zone 310, thereby preventing the accumulation of bullet fragments and residues in a compact heap difficult to remove, which phenomenon is commonly referred to as “lead clump” and that is typically produced if the bullet is deflected without having been decelerated sufficiently.
In the illustrated preferred example, the collecting zone 310 is situated below the bullet collecting casing 100, in the base 110, the lower wall 102 of the bullet collecting casing 100 that rests on the base 110 being provided with one or more orifices 102a (see
The collecting bin 350 is preferably disposed in such a manner as to be removable in order to be withdrawn from the firing target 1 during maintenance operations. Disposing the collecting bin 350 in the base 110, as illustrated by way of a preferred embodiment variant, ensures optimum accessibility of the collecting bin 350 and thereby facilitates maintenance operations.
The collecting zone 310 (and the collecting bin 350 advantageously located therein) is preferably accessible from the back of the target 1, which is in particular made possible, in the context of the illustrated embodiment, by arranging the collecting zone 310 in a rear portion of the base 110.
As illustrated in
In the illustrated preferred embodiment variant, the protective screen 50 includes a plurality of identical and interchangeable nested intermediate elements 505 (here eight in number) each including at least an upper nestable securing element 506a, 507a (for example a groove) designed to cooperate with a complementary nestable securing element of another, adjacent element 500 or 505 of the protective screen 50 placed immediately above it. Likewise, each intermediate element 505 includes at least a lower nestable securing element 506b, 507b (for example a lip) designed to cooperate with a complementary nestable securing element of another, adjacent element (505 or 510) of the protective screen 50 placed immediately below it.
Each intermediate element 505 preferably includes a facade-forming portion 506 directed toward the exterior of the target 1 and a back-forming portion 507 directed toward the interior of the target 1 and the lattice structure 200 located therein, the facade-forming portion 506 being offset relative to the back-forming portion 507 in such a manner as to form a shoulder on which an adjacent element comes to bear. That shoulder also contributes to providing optimum support of the elements 500, 505, 510 on one another.
In the illustrated embodiment variant, it will be noted that each intermediate element 505 advantageously includes a pair of upper nestable securing elements 506a, 507a and a pair of lower nestable securing elements 506b, 507b complementary to the pair of upper nestable securing elements 506a, 507a, in this instance an upper groove and a lower lip on each of the facade-forming and back-forming portions 506, 507.
Moreover, the back-forming portion 507 of each intermediate element 505 is advantageously provided with flared sections 507c at each lower and upper end, which flared sections 507c are directed toward the interior of the target 1 and the lattice structure 200 located therein to bear on the lattice structure 200. These flared sections 507c therefore contribute to forming corresponding bulges on the back-forming section 50B of the protective screen 50, which bulges come to bear on the lattice structure 200. As a result, the protective screen 50 is also mechanically supported on its back-forming section 50B against the lattice structure 200, which contributes to reinforcing the protective screen 50 and enabling it to better resist the passage of incident bullets.
As illustrated, the protective screen 50 further includes an upper terminal element 500 disposed in the top portion of the protective screen 50 and nested with an upper portion of a first intermediate element 505, or top intermediate element, and a lower terminal element 510 disposed in the bottom portion of the protective screen 50 and nested with a lower portion of a final intermediate element 505, or bottom intermediate element. The upper terminal element 500 is provided with at least a lower nestable securing element 501a, 502a (here in the form of lips) complementary to and cooperating with the upper nestable securing element 506a, 507a of the top intermediate element 505, whereas the lower terminal element 510 is provided with at least an upper nestable securing element 511a, 512a (here in the form of grooves) complementary to and cooperating with the lower nestable securing element 506b, 507b of the bottom intermediate element 505. As will be clear on examining
Although
In the illustrated embodiment variant, the support 115 and the locking lever 116 are arranged such that a rotational movement of the locking lever 116 in the actuating direction R represented in
It will generally be understood that various modifications and/or improvements obvious for the person skilled in the art may be made to the embodiments described in the present description without departing from the scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
As already mentioned above, the trim 51-56 of the target 1 in accordance with the embodiment described above may advantageously be made from a resilient material, in particular a synthetic material such as polyurethane, the protective screen 50 preferably being made of the same resilient material as the trim 51-56. Polyurethane proves to be a material particularly suited to this application and robust in use. Other substitute resilient materials could nevertheless be used, such as synthetic foams or rubber.
Moreover, the bullet collecting casing 100 and the lattice structure 200 (as well as, where appropriate, the other components of the internal structure 10 of the target 1, such as the base 110 and the plinth 120) may advantageously be made of ballistic steel or any other metal having sufficient properties to offer increased resistance to repeated shots.
Moreover, the fixing elements of the protective screen 50 could take a form other than holding rods, such as elements enabling fixing simply by clipping or any other means.
Finally, the positioning device of the target could take any other appropriate form or configuration and could use components other than castors as illustrated. Rolling devices with spherical castors or air cushion lifting devices could be adopted for example in order to ensure mobility and displacement of the target.
