Die Zielscheibe (10) ist aus mehrlagigem Kunststoff, Segeltuch oder anderem wasserdichtem Stoff hergestellt und von den Isolierringen (11) in mehrere Zonen, vorzugsweise drei Zonen, aufgeteilt, d.h. Schwarze (12), Mittelzone (13) und Außenzone (14), die durch Farben gekennzeichnet werden können. Die mehrlagige Struktur der Zielscheibe (10) umfaßt eine Oberschicht (15), zwei Zwischenschichten (17) mit einem Induktionskreis (171), einem dazwischen liegenden Isolierschwamm (18) mit einer Vielzahl von Löchern (181) und eine Unterschicht (16). Der Induktionskreis (171) der Zwischenschichten (17) ist an drei Sensoren (19) für die drei Zonen angeschlossen, die jeweils über eine Leitung (21) mit einer Birne (22) verbunden ist, die in einer Fassung (20) auf der Stirnseite der Zielscheibe (10) angeordnet ist, wodurch, wenn ein Sensor (19) ein Signal erfaßt, die entsprechende Birne (22) leuchten kann. The target (10) is made of multi-layer plastic, canvas or other made of waterproof fabric and of the insulating rings (11) in several zones, preferably three zones, i.e. Black (12), middle zone (13) and Outer zone (14), which can be identified by colors. The Multi-layer structure of the target (10) comprises an upper layer (15), two intermediate layers (17) with an induction circuit (171), an intermediate one Insulating sponge (18) with a plurality of holes (181) and an underlayer (16). The induction circuit (171) of the intermediate layers (17) is connected to three sensors (19) connected for the three zones, each via a line (21) with a Bulb (22) is connected in a socket (20) on the front of the target (10) is arranged, whereby when a sensor (19) detects a signal, the corresponding bulb (22) can light up.

Wie weiterhin aus Figur 1 bis 5 ersichtlich, läßt sich die Erfindung leicht montieren. Zunächst wird die Zielscheibe (10) von den Isolierringen (11) in drei Zonen aufgeteilt. Anschließend werden die Oberschicht (15), die zwei Zwischenschichten (17) mit einem Induktionskreis (171), der Isolierschwamm (18) mit Löchern (181) und die Unterschicht (16) aufeinandergelegt und miteinander verbunden. Danach wird die Fassung (20), in dem drei Birnen (22) mit unterschiedlicher Farbe für die drei Zonen angeordnet sind, auf der Stirnseite der Zielscheibe (10) befestigt, wobei die Birnen (22) jeweils über eine Leitung (21) mit einem entsprechenden Sensor (19) verbunden sind, der an den Induktionskreis (171) der Zwischenschichten (17) angeschlossen ist. In Figur 4 ist ein Schaltplan der Erfindung gezeigt.As can further be seen from FIGS. 1 to 5, the invention can be easily assembled. First, the target (10) is divided into three zones by the insulating rings (11). Then the top layer (15), the two intermediate layers (17) with an induction circuit (171), the insulating sponge (18) with holes (181) and the lower layer (16) is placed on top of one another and connected to one another. After that the version (20), in which three pears (22) with different colors for the three Zones are arranged, attached to the front of the target (10), the Bulbs (22) each via a line (21) with a corresponding sensor (19) are connected, which is connected to the induction circuit (171) of the intermediate layers (17) is. A circuit diagram of the invention is shown in FIG.

Die vier Ecken der Zielscheibe (10) sind jeweils mit einem Kupferauge (23) für eine Schnur (24) versehen, wodurch die Zielscheibe (10) an der Innenseite des Netzrahmens (30) befestigt werden kann, so daß der Ball vom Netzrahmen (30) aufgefangen werden kann.The four corners of the target (10) are each with a copper eye (23) for a cord (24), whereby the target (10) on the inside of the Net frame (30) can be attached so that the ball from the net frame (30) can be caught.

Bei der Schlagübung, wie Figur 6 zeigt, kann der Benutzer die Zielscheibe (10) beliebig stellen. Wenn der Ball die Zielscheibe (10) trifft, wird die Druckkraft von der Oberschicht (15), durch die erste Zwischenschicht (17) und den Isolierschwamm (18) auf die zweite Zwischenschicht (17) übertragen, wodurch der Induktionskreis (171) der Zwischenschichten (17) durch die Löcher (181) des Isolierschwammes (18) wegen des Kontaktes in den Stromkreis geschaltet wird. Dadurch leuchtet die Birne (22), die mit dem Sensor (19) verbunden ist, der ein Signal erfaßt. Daher kann der Benutzer erkennen, welche Zone er trifft.During the striking exercise, as shown in FIG. 6, the user can target (10) any position. When the ball hits the target (10), the pressure force of the upper layer (15), through the first intermediate layer (17) and the Insulating sponge (18) transferred to the second intermediate layer (17), whereby the Induction circuit (171) of the intermediate layers (17) through the holes (181) of the Insulating sponge (18) is switched because of the contact in the circuit. This illuminates the bulb (22), which is connected to the sensor (19) Signal detected. Therefore, the user can see which zone he is hitting.

In diesem Zusammenhang ist jedoch zu erwähnen, daß sich die Erfindung nicht nur für die Schlagübung des Golfspiels sondern auch für die Schlag- und Schleuderübung des Baseballs, wie in Figur 7 dargestellt ist, oder Tennis, Fußball usw. eignet.In this context, however, it should be mentioned that the invention is not only for the golf golf striking exercise but also for the striking and throwing exercise baseball, as shown in Figure 7, or tennis, soccer, etc. suitable.

Alternativ kann die Zielscheibe (10) auch in fünf oder sieben Zonen aufgeteilt werden, wodurch der Treffpunkt genauer angezeigt werden kann. Außerdem kann die Fassung (20) der Birnen auf der Stirnseite der Zielscheibe (10) durch einen Zähler ersetzt werden, der die Schläge zählen kann.Alternatively, the target (10) can also be divided into five or seven zones, whereby the meeting point can be displayed more precisely. In addition, the Version (20) of the pears on the face of the target (10) by a counter who can count the strokes.

Um die Birnen (22) in der Fassung (20) zu schützen, ist die Fassung (20) mit einem Netz versehen, so daß die Birnen (22) nicht vom Ball getroffen werden. Das wasserdichte Material der Zielscheibe verhindert auch eine Benetzung der Induktionskreises.To protect the pears (22) in the holder (20), the holder (20) is included provide a net so that the pears (22) are not hit by the ball. The waterproof material of the target also prevents wetting of the induction circuit.
