Description

Il est important, pour les tireurs, de visualiser exactement l'endroit -hauteur, distance, angle- où le pigeon d'argile a été touché. A cet effet, certains pigeons sont équipés de rubans colorés en tissu ou dans d'autres matières ou de confettis. Ces rubans sont lestés et permettent de visualiser, en fait, la chute des débris du pigeon d'argile qui ne sont pas toujours visualisables. Ces rubans colorés sont maintenus au moyen de lames métalliques qui font office de ressorts ou collés à l'intérieur du pigeon d'argile au sommet de sa partie concave. Ces dispositifs actuels occupent un grand volume à l'intérieur du pigeon. Le pigeon d'argile selon l'invention comporte une quantité suffisante de poudre colorée, logée à l'intérieur du pigeon, entre sa partie concave intérieure et sa partie plane, ou à l'extérieur, entre sa partie convexe et sa partie plane extérieure. Un opercule vient fermer, de manière hermétique, le logement. L'opercule peut être plan et comporter uniquement des bords coniques s'adaptant à la conicité soit de la paroi intérieure, soit de la paroi extérieure du pigeon.It is important for shooters to visualize exactly the place - height, distance, angle - where the clay pigeon was hit. For this purpose, some pigeons are equipped with colored ribbons in fabric or other materials or with confetti. These ribbons are weighted and allow to visualize, in fact, the fall of the debris of the clay pigeon which are not always viewable. These colored ribbons are held by means of metal blades which act as springs or glued inside the clay pigeon at the top of its concave part. These current devices occupy a large volume inside the pigeon. The clay pigeon according to the invention comprises a sufficient quantity of colored powder, housed inside the pigeon, between its internal concave part and its flat part, or outside, between its convex part and its external flat part. . A seal closes the housing hermetically. The cover may be flat and have only conical edges adapting to the taper of either the inner wall or the outer wall of the pigeon.

Une saillie ou nervure circulaire peut être prévue au niveau de l'opercule; elle permet de rendre plus solide ledit opercule. De plus, cette saillie vient en regard de la saillie supérieure du pigeon inférieur sur laquelle le pigeon est empilé; ladite saillie permet un meilleur positionnement des pigeons les uns sur les autres.A circular projection or rib may be provided at the level of the cover; it makes the said seal more solid. In addition, this projection comes opposite the upper projection of the lower pigeon on which the pigeon is stacked; said projection allows better positioning of the pigeons on each other.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation, l'opercule comporte une partie centrale qui est plane, une saillie circulaire avec contre-pente, puis une partie plane en tronc de cône qui vient s'encastrer, de manière hermétique, par une paroi conique, contre la paroi interne du pigeon.According to another embodiment, the cover comprises a central part which is planar, a circular projection with counter-slope, then a planar part in frusto-cone which is recessed, hermetically, by a conical wall, against the inner wall of the pigeon.

L'opercule est maintenu en place par collage, ce qui assure, en même temps, l'étanchéïté parfaite du logement qui contient la poudre.The cover is held in place by gluing, which ensures, at the same time, the perfect seal of the housing which contains the powder.

L'opercule, selon un mode de réalisation préféré, est fabriqué dans la même matière que le pigeon, soit en brai et en carbonate. Un moyen de collage et de fermeture hermétique du logement par l'opercule peut consister à mettre en place ledit opercule à chaud. La déformation due à la chaleur permet la mise en place de l'opercule et assure l'étanchéïté du logement par l'opercule.The cover, according to a preferred embodiment, is made of the same material as the pigeon, either in pitch and in carbonate. A means of gluing and hermetic closure of the housing by the cover may consist of putting said cover in place when hot. The deformation due to the heat allows the fitting of the cover and ensures the sealing of the housing by the cover.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation, l'opercule est en carton ou en carton plastifié. La réalisation de cet opercule, dans cette matière, peut être intéressante pour résoudre des problèmes de poids du pigeon.According to another embodiment, the cover is made of cardboard or plasticized cardboard. The realization of this cover, in this material, can be interesting to solve problems of weight of the pigeon.

Ces différentes cibles n'ont pas connu le succès escompté.These different targets have not had the expected success.

Les plus simples et les plus efficaces ne permettent pas l'empilage, donc le lancement automatique; elles sont donc exclues de toute commercialisation industrielle.The simplest and most effective do not allow stacking, therefore automatic launching; they are therefore excluded from any industrial marketing.

Les autres, de par leurs caractéristiques techniques, modifient considérablement le poids de la cible, donc leur vol, par rapport aux autres cibles, sans produits de visualisation.The others, by their technical characteristics, considerably modify the weight of the target, therefore their flight, compared to the other targets, without visualization products.

Or, il est important que les cibles, contenant ces produits de visualisation, aient des caractéristiques techniques, et surtout de vol, identiques aux cibles classiques sans produits de visualisation.However, it is important that the targets, containing these visualization products, have technical characteristics, and especially of flight, identical to the conventional targets without visualization products.

Il est intéressant également que la trajectoire de la cible puisse être suivie par les spectateurs et/ou le tireur jusqu'au nuage final, provoqué par l'impact du projectile qui casse la cible et libère le ou les produits de visualisation.It is also interesting that the trajectory of the target can be followed by the spectators and / or the shooter until the final cloud, caused by the impact of the projectile which breaks the target and releases the visualization product (s).

Selon un mode de réalisation, la cible ou pigeon d'argile en forme d'assiette en matériau cassable est du type cible volante permettant une visualisation dans l'espace dès que celui-ci a été touché.

Said target comprising a housing contiguous to the body of the target, housing closed in a sealed manner by a circular disc acting as a seal, said housing containing a visualization product such as colored powder which disperses, at the time of impact of the projectile against the target or clay pigeon forms a cloud of color, characterized by the fact

qu'il comporte un trou d'échappement qui est fermé hermétiquement par un moyen de fermeture temporaire dont l'ouverture peut être déclenchée au moment du lancement ou en cours de vol, et ce pour permettre la sortie d'un filet de poudre colorée qui marque la trajectoire jusqu'au nuage final qui marque la position de ladite cible au moment de l'impact et que ledit trou d'échappement est formé excentriquement par rapport audit axe.that it has an exhaust hole which is hermetically closed by a temporary closure means whose opening can be triggered at the time of launch or during flight, and this to allow the exit of a thread of colored powder which marks the path to the final cloud which marks the position of said target at the time of impact and that said escape hole is formed eccentrically with respect to said axis.

Selon le mode de réalisation, le logement étanche comporte un petit trou d'échappement fermé par un bouchon entré en force. Le trou d'échappement est situé à la périphérie du logement, et le bouchon a un profil tel que la rotation de la cible éjecte ledit bouchon, libérant le trou d'échappement qui laisse échapper ainsi un filet ou trainée de poudre.According to the embodiment, the sealed housing has a small exhaust hole closed by a plug entered into force. The exhaust hole is located at the periphery of the housing, and the stopper has a profile such that the rotation of the target ejects said stopper, releasing the exhaust hole which thus lets escape a thread or trail of powder.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation, le trou d'échappement est fermé hermétiquement par un film en papier, plastique ou analogue avec, comme moyen d'ouverture automatique, un fil intégré à cet obturateur dont l'extrémité libre sort dudit film et est reliée à une masselotte. Avec la rotation du pigeon d'argile ou de la cible, la masselotte, sous la force de l'effet centrifuge, tire sur le fil et déchire l'obturateur, libérant ainsi le produit coloré.According to another embodiment, the exhaust hole is hermetically closed by a paper, plastic or similar film with, as an automatic opening means, a wire integrated into this shutter, the free end of which comes out of said film and is connected to a flyweight. With the rotation of the clay pigeon or the target, the flyweight, under the force of the centrifugal effect, pulls on the wire and tears the shutter, thus releasing the colored product.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation, le logement étanche est fermé par un opercule dont le trou d'échappement est fermé par un bouchon surmonté d'un téton. Au moment du lancement de la cible, une butée, disposée sur le lanceur vient, renverser le téton et son bouchon, en ouvrant ainsi le trou d'échappement.According to another embodiment, the sealed housing is closed by a cover, the exhaust hole of which is closed by a plug surmounted by a stud. When the target is launched, a stop, placed on the launcher, overturns the stud and its plug, thereby opening the exhaust hole.
