(a) Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an impact indicator, and more particularly to an impact indicator for shooting training which is able to instantaneously indicate shooting point of impact.
(b) Description of the Prior Art
The acting out of survival games has already become a common leisure activity currently enjoyed by people, in which people handle toy guns to simulate actual field operations, and further simulate teaming up with others to act out the survival game, thereby cultivating an unvoiced pact between the players during gameplay, as well as achieving the effectiveness to provide recreation.
Furthermore, while acting out the survival game, in order to effectively aim at the hostile players in the game, players usually install a telescope on their gun barrels to observe the positions of the hostile players and additionally use an infrared sight to confirm the accurate position of what they are aiming at. Accordingly, aiming effectiveness is efficiently achieved when the light beam from the infrared sight shines on the position the player wants to shoot at.

However, the following problems and shortcomings are still in need of improvement when using the aforementioned impact indicator of the prior art:
Although the impact indicator 1 of the prior art is able to clearly indicate the present position the gun barrel 11 is aiming at, however, during use, the light beam module 12 of the impact indicator 1 can actually only maintain constant illumination. Hence, regardless of whether the gun trigger has been pulled or not, all the players know what the gun barrel is presently aiming point, but are unable to know the when the gun trigger is pulled and the exact shooting point of impact at that moment.
Hence, it is the strong desire of the inventor and manufacturers engaged in related art and purpose of the present invention to resolve and surmount existent technical difficulties to eliminate the problems and shortcomings of the aforementioned prior art.
Hence, in light of the shortcomings of the aforementioned prior art, the inventor of the present invention, having collected related data, and through evaluation and consideration from many aspects, as well as having accumulated years of experience in related arts, through continuous testing and improvements has designed a new impact indicator for shooting training which is able to instantaneously indicate shooting point of impact.
A primary objective of the present invention is to enable an impact indicator, comprising a pipe body, a light beam module and a compression structure, of the present invention to be fitted to a predetermined gun barrel; wherein one or more than one hole is defined in a wall surface of the pipe body, and an abutting wall provided with a through hole is located interior of the pipe body. The light beam module is located at one end of the pipe body and is configured with a switch. The compression structure penetrates the through hole of the abutting wall, and the compression structure is fitted with a piston at one end remote from the light beam module, and a rod is located at the other end. Furthermore, an elastic member is located between the piston and the abutting wall, which enables air currents flowing from the gun barrel to compress the compression structure when a person pulls the gun trigger. Because size of the piston is commensurate with the inner caliber of the gun barrel, thus, air currents are able to impel the compression structure and force the rod of the compression structure to activate the switch of the light beam module, and thereby cause the light beam module to emit a light beam. Moreover, when the piston is displaced to the position of the hole of the gun barrel, then the air currents are able to be expelled out the hole. Furthermore, when the elastic member between the piston and the abutting wall is elastically released, then the compression structure is forcibly displaced back to its original position. Accordingly, when the user pulls the gun trigger, thereby causing air currents to be expelled from the gun barrel, then the current accurate point of impact can be instantaneously known. Accordingly, use of the aforementioned art resolves the problem of the constant illumination of the infrared ray indicator of the prior art impact indicator, thereby achieving practical advancement to enable instantaneous indication of the shooting point of impact.
Another objective of the present invention lies in the one or more than one hole penetrating the wall surface of the pipe body, and for the piston of the compression structure to be further configured with a movable span, with a displacement rod penetrating the movable span. Furthermore, an adjuster is annular located on the pipe body, and the adjuster is pin connected to the displacement rod. The adjuster can be a nut, thereby enabling adjustment of the adjuster to displace the displacement rod and cause the compression structure to be correspondingly directionally displaced, and thus cause the rod of the compression structure to constantly press on the switch of the light beam module, and further cause the light beam module to maintain constant illumination. Moreover, the adjuster can be displaced to adjust the size of the hole according to different lengths of the gun barrel, thereby further achieving the effectiveness to adjust sensitivity of the light beam module. Accordingly, use of the aforementioned art enables the light beam module of the impact indicator of the present invention to produce constant illumination and freely adjust sensitivity of the light beam module, and achieve practical advancement not considered in impact indicators of the prior art.
To enable a further understanding of said objectives and the technological methods of the invention herein, a brief description of the drawings is provided below followed by a detailed description of the preferred embodiments.

A pipe body 4, in which one or more than one hole 41 penetrates a wall surface of the pipe body 4, and the pipe body 4 is internally configured with an abutting wall 43 provided with a through hole 42. A light beam module 5, which is located on one end of the pipe body 4, is configured with a switch 51.
A compression structure 6, which penetrates the through hole 42 of the abutting wall 43 moreover, the compression structure 6 is fitted with a piston 61 located at one end remote from the light beam module 5, and a rod 62 is located at the other end. An elastic member 63 is located between the piston 61 and the abutting wall 43. The elastic member 63 can be either a spring, an elastic flat bar or a related member provided with elasticity.
According to the aforementioned structure and constructional design, circumstances during operational use of the present invention are described hereinafter. Referring together to

In addition, a counter 7 can be further located within the light beam module 5 of the impact indicator 2 of the present invention, with the counter 7 being connected to the switch 51. Accordingly, disposition of the counter 7 is used to learn of the current number of times the light beam module 5 has been activated by way of the switch 51, and additionally learn of the number of times the user has pulled the gun trigger. Furthermore, the counter 7 can be set with a default number, and when the counter 7 has reached the preset number, then the counter 7 can control and stop the light beam module 5 from emitting light, thereby achieving limiting the number of times that the light beam module 5 is activated.
Hence, referring to all the drawings, compared to the prior art, the following advantages exist when using the present invention:
In conclusion, the impact indicator for shooting training of the present invention is clearly able to achieve effectiveness and objectives when in use, and is indeed a practical and exceptional invention that complies with the essential elements as required for a new patent application. Accordingly, a new patent application is proposed herein.
It is of course to be understood that the embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the principles of the invention and that a wide variety of modifications thereto may be effected by persons skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the following claims.
