Description

The present invention relates to an electronic target shooting release display and a shooting target shooting target having an improved display.

For shooters have been used in the past printed shooting targets. However, this technique is gradually being replaced by electronic scores.

For so-called rapid fire disciplines were used folding mechanisms that could turn target by 90 °. When the firing took place, the shooting targets for the shooter were released for a certain time by rotating discs. After this time, the discs were rotated again and thus made no more shootable for the shooter.

With an electronic hit announcement a so-called traffic light is provided. The optical signal of the traffic light informs the shooter when shots may be fired. Without release, the shots are not evaluated and are lost to the shooter.

An object of the present invention is to provide an improved shot dispensing display or an electronic goal scoring system.

To solve the problem, the features of the independent claims are proposed. Advantageous developments can be found in the subclaims.

A bombardment frame for a target that can be shot along at least one firing direction may have a through-opening and a frame body. The frame body may have at least one outer surface and at least partially made of a transparent or semitransparent material. An optical display may be provided which is arranged along the weft direction behind (to) the outer surface of the bombardment frame. This arrangement makes it possible to propose a visual display located behind an outer surface of the bombardment frame, so that by using the transparent or semitransparent material for the frame body it is possible to recognize the visual display for the shooter through the frame body. The optical display is simultaneously protected by the frame body, since this is located in front of the optical display and thus between shooter and optical display. A projectile dispensed along the weft direction thus does not impinge directly on the visual display, since the transparent or semitransparent frame body is arranged in front of the optical display and thus protects it from the projectile. On the one hand, this advantageous arrangement makes it possible to protect the optical display and, on the other hand, to provide a uniform outer surface of the frame body which at least partially surrounds the optical display. The transparent or semitransparent configuration of the frame body simultaneously enables output of optical signals of the optical display through the frame body, so that the shooter can recognize a shot release.

The bombardment frame may also have a frame body forming a frame of a passage opening. The firing frame can not be a bullet. In the area of the passage opening the target area is arranged.

The firing frame may be an outboard frame or bezel of a measuring frame for determining a bullet position. The measuring frame can have optical light barriers for covering the inner target area. To protect the measuring frame, the frame body may be provided. Thus, by this embodiment, an advantageous shot release display can be provided, which is particularly suitable for electronic targets.

The optical display can be at least partially covered by the transparent or semitransparent material of the frame body. This cover of the optical display ensures protection of the display from projectiles. In addition, the signal of the optical display can penetrate through the transparent or semitransparent material of the frame body, so that an optical signal from the optical display can also be emitted in the direction of the outer surface of the frame body and thus in the direction of the shooter. This advantageous arrangement simultaneously enables the protection of the optical display for the output of optical signals.

The optical display may include a light source, such as an LED or a signal lamp for outputting an optical signal to the shooter, through the outer surface of the frame body. This is achieved by the use of transparent and / or semitransparent material for the frame body, which obscures the optical display in the weft direction.

The optical display can be designed such that the brightness of the output optical signals is adjustable, in particular steplessly.

The outer surface of the frame body, which is directly opposite the shooter position, may be a flat surface, which is designed bore-free and without notches. A flat surface, as an outer surface, has the further advantage that ricochets or rebounds of projectiles which impact the outer surface of the frame body are no longer deflected in an uncontrolled manner, since the outer surface has no depressions or bulges on the outer surface. The optical display may be arranged to be aligned with the shooter for outputting an optical signal through the frame body. In particular, a signal can thus be emitted through the outer surface of the frame body made of transparent or semitransparent material in the direction of the shooter (in the direction of the projectile discharge position) by the optical display.

The outer surface of the bombardment frame or the wall of the frame body in the region of the outer surface must be bulletproof, so that preferably a bullet impact energy of at least 7.5 joules and more preferably 10 joules can be accommodated without damage. Further advantageously, the frame body may at least partially consist of a composite pane or a glass ceramic.

The visual display can advantageously be configured as a traffic light. In particular, the visual display can output at least two different colors as an optical signal. Particularly advantageously, a red-emitting signal and a green-emitting signal can be output. Such an embodiment may indicate to the shooter when shots may be fired. In particular, a direct output of the optical signal to the shooter can be achieved by this optical display.

The visual display may output an optical signal for enabling the target area. The frame body may at least partially comprise a transparent or semitransparent material in the region of the outer surface, so that transparent or semitransparent regions are present on the frame body and the optical display is arranged in these regions or is arranged behind these regions, starting from the weft direction. Advantageously, the frame body can be constructed completely from the transparent or semitransparent material (or consist of this material).

The optical display may advantageously output two different colors through the frame body. The optical display can thus output the light signals in such a way that they shine through the frame body and thus can be recognized by the shooter.

The outer surface of the bombardment frame can be designed bulletproof. The outer surface may also form a flat end face of the bombardment frame.

The frame body may advantageously be a rectangular frame and in particular the outer surface may be formed substantially rectangular. Advantageously, in addition, the corners can be rounded. Also, the passage opening may advantageously have a rectangular shape.

An electronic shot evaluation system with an electronic hit indicator may comprise a firing frame, which may comprise at least one of the above-mentioned features.

The electronic shot evaluation system may advantageously have a target, which is arranged in the weft direction behind the passage opening.

An electronic shot evaluation system can have a measuring frame for the non-contact optical determination of a bullet position of a projectile through a target surface, and advantageously a bullet frame can be formed as a complete or partial cover or aperture of the measuring frame.

The electronic shot evaluation system may have a target, which is surrounded by the firing frame.

The outer surface of the frame body is preferably bulletproof and rebound resistant with respect to a bullet impact energy of at least 7.5 and preferably 10 joules.

The frame body can advantageously comprise a transparent pane of glass ceramic. The frame body can thus have a balancing-resistant glass ceramic in the region of the outer surface.

In addition, the frame body can have at least one composite pane (in particular as outer surface) which preferably has at least two polycarbonate panes which are connected to one another via a thermoplastic polyurethane film.

The frame body may also comprise a composite disc, which consists of at least two plastic discs, which are arranged at a distance from each other, so that between the plastic discs a casting resin layer for Connection of the discs is present. Additionally or alternatively, the frame body may further comprise a disc member having only a disc which is coated. Advantageously, this disc is a polycarbonate disc.

The frame body may advantageously have an outer surface which has a coating to increase the safety against shelling. Advantageously, the outer surface or inner surface of the frame body may be at least partially provided with a coating.

The transparent or semitransparent material may be transmissive to electromagnetic radiation in the human-visible spectral range.

Advantageous embodiments and further details of the present invention will be described below with reference to various embodiments with reference to the figures.

1 , shows a first view of the bombardment frame with the shooting target for electronic targets;

2 , shows a side view of the bombardment frame;

3 , shows another view of the bombardment frame with a target.

Hereinafter, various examples of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Identical or similar elements are designated by the same reference numerals. However, the present invention is not limited to the described features, but further includes modifications of features of various examples within the scope of the independent claims.

Shooting ranges and thus also evaluation devices and shooting frames or electronic discs must be approved by a shooting range expert. The shooting range must be the impact energy of the projectile, with air pressure guns this is at least z. B. 7.5 Joule, without damage record. Therefore, the measurement technique is covered with a so-called aperture (or bombardment frame). As described above, if the shooter does not hit his target, this orifice must absorb the energy and limit the rebound energy of the projectile. If an optical signal is now applied in the vicinity of the target, there is a risk that it will be destroyed by misses and the shooting range requirements are not met. According to the invention it is proposed that at least the bombardment consists of a transparent, preferably semi-transparent material, at least partially, and the optical display is arranged in the weft direction behind the transparent material.

In 1 is the bombardment frame 2 shown. The firing frame 2 is designed as a blast hood and can absorb impact energy of a projectile of at least 7.5 joules without damage. Behind the bombardment frame 2 is the visual indicator 3 arranged (starting from the shooting direction B), which serves to display the firing clearance. The optical release is realized advantageously via green and red signal lights. Due to the transparent or semitransparent design of the bombardment frame 2 it is possible the optical firing of the optical display 3 through the firing frame 2 pass through and thus indicate to the shooter. The shooting target is presently an electronic target. Thus, an electronic scoring is possible.

The firing frame 2 also has a passage opening 1 on which in particular a target image can be arranged. The upper signal lamp of the optical display 3 in 1 preferably has a different signal color than the lower optical display 3 , The frame body 2 is preferably constructed of transparent or partially transparent material, so that the light signals of the optical display 3 through this frame body 2 can pass through to indicate to the shooter a release or blocking of the shooting target.

In 2 is a side view of a measuring frame with the bombardment frame 2 (Blast hood) shown as a screen. The firing frame 2 has the outer surface A, which points in the direction of the shooter. The projectile therefore flies when the firing frame is fired 2 along the bombardment direction B. The bombardment frame 2 thus protects the frame parts and electronic components behind it as well as the measuring frame.

In 2 the optical display has an upper signal lamp 3a and a lower signal lamp 3b on. As shown schematically, the signal lamps emit 3a and 3b optical signals through the bombardment frame 2 through in the direction of the shooter, ie against the Beschussrichtung B. Through the transparent or semitransparent design of the bombardment frame 2 Thus, a transillumination of the optical signals of the optical display 3 allows. In a simple way, therefore, on the one hand, the visual display 3 be protected and on the other hand, at the same time an optical signal output for shot clearance can be achieved because the bombardment frame consists at least partially of the transparent or semitransparent material.

In particular, the bombardment frame is in the range of the optical display 3 from this transparent or semitransparent material. The firing frame 2 on the one hand can be configured as a flat plate or as a frame member with a flat body and orthogonal to the flat body present side surfaces to form a cavity. In this cavity, the measuring frame can be arranged. The bombardment frame thus encloses the measuring frame on an end face and at least one side face.

In 3 is another depiction from the point of view of the shooter in the direction of the firing frame 2 shown. In this case, a target Z is shown by way of example in the target area. The target Z is located in the area of the passage opening 1 ,

In the 1 and 2 displayed optical displays 3 are each arranged centrally on an upper side or on an underside of the bombardment frame. The bombardment frame is advantageously made square. In an advantageous development, the optical displays can comprise more than two LEDs or can also be designed as optical displays for displaying characters or the like. Advantageously, this allows the output of additional information to the shooter.

The firing frame may be a firing blast for a shooting target. The bombardment frame may comprise a single plastic disc or a composite disc. The composite pane may comprise at least two substantially planar plastic panes, which are arranged parallel to one another and at a distance from one another, so that a space for forming a casting resin layer remains between the plastic panes. The range is preferably about 0.3 mm to 5 mm. The gap can be filled, for example, with a two-component polyurethane casting resin to form a casting resin layer and compound of the discs. In addition, it is possible to add colors, in particular photochromic colors or IR absorbers, to the casting resin layer. Alternatively, a thermoplastic polyurethane film may be used to bond the disks. The composite disk can be constructed of polycarbonate disks.

Present features, components and specific details may be interchanged and / or combined to create further embodiments depending on the required use. Any modifications that are within the skill of the art are implicitly disclosed in the present specification.
