Description

Appareil pour le lancement en doublé de cibles dites pigeons d'argile Apparatus for launching double targets called clay pigeons
L'invention a pour objet un appareil pour le lancement en doublé de cibles dites pigeons d'argile. Pour le tir sportif, il peut être intéressant pour le tireur de tirer sur un doublé. L'appareil lanceur doit lancer simultanément deux cibles dites pigeons d'argile. Le tir de ce doublé doit être réalisé suivant des normes très précises quant aux vols identiques ou différents des cibles, quant à l'angle d'ecartement autre leur trajectoire respective, quant à leur départ, leur altitude etc.The subject of the invention is an apparatus for launching doubled targets known as clay pigeons. For sport shooting, it may be interesting for the shooter to shoot a double. The launching device must simultaneously launch two targets called clay pigeons. The shooting of this double must be carried out according to very precise standards as for the identical or different flights of the targets, as for the angle of separation other than their respective trajectory, as for their departure, their altitude etc.
A ce jour, il existe des machines spécifiques pour le tir en doublé. Ces machines sont très onéreuses dans la mesure où elles ne peuvent servir qu'aux tirs en doublé. Les réglages du doublé sont souvent laborieux et ne peuvent être réalisés que par des personnes connaissant parfaitement la machine.To date, there are specific machines for double shooting. These machines are very expensive since they can only be used for double shots. Adjusting the double is often laborious and can only be carried out by people who know the machine perfectly.
Un autre problème se pose également pour les appareils pour le lancement de cibles, il réside dans l'alimentation des barillets de cibles. Les barillets, dans une compétition, doivent être souvent réalimentés. Cela pose parfois des problèmes de main d'oeuvre.Another problem also arises for devices for launching targets, it resides in the supply of the barrels of targets. Barrels, in a competition, must often be refueled. This sometimes poses labor problems.

The two levels are represented by the arrows 21 which show a level shift on the swash plate 10. The swash plate 10 is actuated oscillation on its axis 11 by a geared motor 22.
Ce motoréducteur 22 est raccordé, par un axe de raccordement 23 disposé à l'extrémité d'une biellette 24, biellette permettant l'oscillation dudit plateau 10. Cette biellette 24 est pourvue d'un système connu permettant le réglage d'oscillation.This geared motor 22 is connected, by a connecting pin 23 disposed at the end of a link 24, a link allowing the oscillation of said plate 10. This link 24 is provided with a known system allowing the adjustment of oscillation.
Les figures 1 et 2 permettent de visualiser quelques autres organes de réglage ou de blocage de la position respective des deux lanceurs 6 et 7.FIGS. 1 and 2 make it possible to view a few other members for adjusting or blocking the respective position of the two launchers 6 and 7.
Des leviers réglables 25 et 26 permettent le réglage fin de la position des lanceurs 6 et 7 sur le plateau oscillant 10.Adjustable levers 25 and 26 allow fine adjustment of the position of the launchers 6 and 7 on the swash plate 10.
Un bouton de serrage 27 ou 28 permet d'immobiliser les lanceurs 6 et 7 après avoir réglé les tra ectoires.A tightening button 27 or 28 makes it possible to immobilize the launchers 6 and 7 after having adjusted the trajectories.
La figure 2 permet ainsi de bien visualiser les deux lanceurs 6 et 7 qui ont été orientés par leur axe de pivotement 16,17 de manière à ce que leur rampe de lancement 8 et 9 soit dans un seul axe de lancement. Il n'y a ainsi qu'une seule trajectoire, trajectoire simple pour les deux cibles. L'angle d'ecartement est nul. Les deux lanceurs 6,7 sont dans le même alignement.FIG. 2 thus makes it possible to clearly visualize the two launchers 6 and 7 which have been oriented by their pivot axis 16, 17 so that their launching ramp 8 and 9 is in a single launching axis. There is thus only one trajectory, simple trajectory for the two targets. The spacing angle is zero. The two launchers 6,7 are in the same alignment.
Au contraire, dans la figure 3, les deux lanceurs 6 et 7 ont été pivotes par rapport à leur axe de pivotement 16 et 17 sur le plateau oscillant 10, de manière à ce que l'axe longitudinal de leur rampe de lancement 8 et 9 forme un angle, angle d'ecartement qui permet d'obtenir deux trajectoires différentes. L'angle d'ecartement α est par exemple de 45*. REFERENCESOn the contrary, in FIG. 3, the two launchers 6 and 7 have been pivoted relative to their pivot axis 16 and 17 on the swash plate 10, so that the longitudinal axis of their launching pad 8 and 9 forms an angle, angle of separation which makes it possible to obtain two different trajectories. The spacing angle α is for example 45 * . REFERENCES
