Description

The present invention relates to a novel hunting stalk for hunting purposes, which can easily be opened with one hand to provide a secure support for the weapon.

When stalking or even in normal hunting hunters often use a so-called target floor, on the one hand similar to a walking stick facilitates walking in rough terrain, on the other hand can serve as a support for the weapon to enable a safer shot.

Some embodiments of such a target stock are known from the prior art, which sometimes provide a plurality of support points for a weapon, in turn, however, are sometimes complicated to handle, which can often oppose the hunting success, as by the time required for providing the edition and any resulting noise has lost the opportunity for a shot.

Common target poles include longitudinally split sticks in which, for example, a screw allows unfolding and the stick above the screw axis is mutually divided to create a larger support for the weapon.

So revealed DE 295 12 914 U1 a hinged stalk target in a simple design, but in which before use as a weapon pad a band must be opened at the bottom of the stick.

DE 201 11 849 U1 In contrast, discloses a target stick with a hinged scissor-like device at the upper end of the pole tube, which is surrounded by a sleeve and must also be opened before use as a weapon pad.

In both cases, a quick, noiseless, and uncomplicated deployment of the target stick in its role as a weapon pad using only one hand seems impossible. This means that both hands must be used to improve the weapon pad and first set aside the possibly in the other hand guided object, such as a pair of binoculars or the weapon, and then resumed. These steps involve the risk of loss of time, noise, and the hunter's perception of his or her additional movements.

The present invention therefore an object of the invention to provide a structurally simple stalk target stock that can be transformed quickly and without the aid of the second hand in a weapon pad. Furthermore, the stalk target stock should have sufficient stability and resilience to be able to be used similarly to a walking stick, in particular by supporting the user in rough terrain.

This object is achieved by the invention described below.

The subject of the present invention is therefore a stalk targeting stick comprising a stick which is divided into two parts up to one piece just before its lower end ( 1 ) and ( 2 ), whereby the two parts have different lengths, the shorter part ( 1 ) at its lower end a shaped section ( 3 ), the longer part ( 2 ) is not divided at its lower end, however, and at the transition to the division a section complementary to the shape section of the shorter part ( 4 ), wherein the two parts by a fastening means ( 5 ) are scissor-like interconnected below the respective upper ends and the pitch of the pole above the fastening means is designed such that the axis of the division above the fastening means is rotated approximately perpendicular to the axis of the division below the fastening means and the two parts by means of a with Foot operated closure means ( 6 ) are interconnected.

As material for the stalk target of the invention, the materials usually used for target or stalk sticks come into question, in particular wood, light metal, such as aluminum or composite materials such as GRP or KFK. Preferably, wood is used.

The length of the stalk target stock is adapted to the size of the user and the likely conditions of use. Usual lengths are 160 to 210 cm.

The thickness of the stalk target can basically be chosen freely. From the standpoint of stability of the target stalk on the one hand and the weight of the same on the other hand, the thickness of the target stick is usually 1 to 5 cm, preferably 2 to 4 cm, more preferably about 3 cm.

Suitable fastening means ( 5 ) are known for the purpose of fasteners, preferably screws and bolts.

The distance of the fastener ( 5 ) of the upper ends of the two parts is suitably chosen so that in the unfolded state a scissor-like support for the weapon is created, which ensures a sufficiently safe storage of the weapon and thus a safe shot. Usually, this distance is 5 to 30 cm, preferably 10 to 20 cm, more preferably 12 to 18 cm and most preferably about 15 cm.

To further improve the storage of the weapon and to avoid hitting the weapon in the shot, the inner sides of the scissor-like support formed in the unfolded state can be lined or coated with a shock-absorbing material. Suitable for this are the commonly used materials such as felt, cork, neoprene or rubber. Neoprene and rubber are preferred in terms of lack of moisture absorption.

The distance of the complementary section ( 4 ) from the lower end of the longer part ( 2 ) is suitably chosen so that on the one hand a sufficient stability of the lower end is ensured, on the other hand, the difference in length between the long and the short part is not too large, since the shooting range otherwise in the unfolded state would have a disadvantageous lateral skew. Typically, this distance is 2 to 20 cm, preferably 4 to 10 cm, and more preferably about 6 cm.

The shape cut ( 3 ) at the lower end of the shorter part ( 1 ) - and thus also the complementary section ( 4 ) at the longer part ( 2 ) - can be executed in a variety of variants. Preferably, the shaped section ( 3 ) designed so that it forms a forced operation when opening or closing the stalk target stock according to the invention. This leads to a better handling of the target stalk in the closed state.

The lower end of the longer part ( 2 ) may be modified by a cap or sheath. For example, a metal tip to improve the durability of the stalk shooting stick is conceivable, alternatively a rubber cap to prevent noise and / or to improve the adhesion to various surfaces.

For foot-operated closure means ( 6 ) Various embodiments are conceivable.

In a first embodiment serves as a closure means ( 6 ) a shaped piece with a tongue which extends around the shaped section ( 3 ) and the complementary section ( 4 ), as well as any positive guidance formed therefrom and thus causes a lock. The fitting is attached by means of a screw or a bolt movable on the target stock and can be opened over the tongue with one foot. The fitting can be made of conventional materials, such as metal, wood or plastic. Preferably, the closure means ( 6 ) made of a metal, in particular stainless steel. In a preferred embodiment, the shaped piece is designed such that by clamping it the parts ( 1 ) and ( 2 ) and the stalk target stock is thereby secured against unintentional opening.

In an alternative embodiment, as closure means ( 6 ) at the lower end of the longer part ( 2 ) used above the shape of section attached toggle fastener, which locks the two parts together and can be operated with the foot.

An exemplary embodiment of the stalk target stock according to the invention is in the 1 to 3 shown schematically. 1 shows the stalk target of the invention in the view from behind, so seen from the user. 2 shows the stalk target of the invention from the side. 3 shows the stalk of the game according to the invention in the unfolded state, wherein the closure means ( 6 ) was not shown. 4 Finally, shows the stalk target stick according to the invention in plan view, whereby the rotation of the axis of the division above and below the fastener ( 5 ) becomes clear.

An exemplary embodiment of the stalk target stock according to the invention was made from a 190 cm long round wood with a diameter of 3 cm.

The two parts ( 1 ) and ( 2 ) were connected by a screw. The distance of the screw from the upper ends of the two parts ( 1 ) and ( 2 ) was 15 cm, with the bearing surfaces covered with cork.

The distance of the complementary section ( 4 ) from the lower end of the longer part ( 2 ) was 6 cm.

As a closure agent ( 6 ) served a fitting with a tongue, as described above, which was made of stainless steel.

The thus constructed stalk target stock had an excellent stability in its function as walking and climbing aid and enabled in the unfolded state safe conclusions on stalked game. During operation, he let himself be silently and without the aid of the second hand in the unfolded state.
