Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an apparatus for launching targets and finds particular application for launching targets for archery.
  • US 1 552 192 discloses an apparatus for target launching. A portion of the device on which the target is in contact during its projection is mobile.
  • the present invention overcomes all or part of the disadvantages of techniques known hitherto for launching targets.
  • an object of the invention is to provide a target launching apparatus having an improved launching zone with specific contact between the target and a bearing surface, in combination with a relative position of the particular launching arm.
  • the invention relates to a target launching apparatus comprising a bearing surface of a target to be projected and a rotary launching arm capable of applying a projection force on the target, characterized by the fact that the bearing surface has a concave longitudinal profile situated in a plane parallel to the plane of rotation of the throwing arm.
  • the arc is centered on the axis of rotation of the arm.
  • the support is a flap comprising a flank in an oblique plane relative to the second portion.
  • the support is a carriage mounted adjustable relative to the base part in a slide.
  • the slide is formed on the one hand on the base piece and on the other hand on a side panel substantially parallel to the base piece.
  • Figures 2 and 3 show similar views with loading phases of a target.
  • Figures 4 and 5 show two side views of the apparatus, a control flap of the bearing surface of the target being in a first position.
  • Figures 6 and 7 similarly illustrate the apparatus for side view the flap being in a second position.
  • Figure 10 shows a variant of the invention.
  • the apparatus may comprise a base 7 which may be a welded structure, although it is only an illustrative possibility, and may be equipped with gripping means such as a handle and a wheel 8.
  • a launch assembly comprising mainly a throwing arm 1 rotatably mounted about an axis 4.
  • the axis 4 is substantially horizontal.
  • Conventional actuating means may be used to rotate the launching arm 1.
  • the launching arm 1 can cooperate with a tensioned spring with a motor and can be expanded on command to operate the projection of the target 2.
  • the latter although this case is not limiting, is advantageously a target of the tray type of substantially cylindrical flattened made of plastic material and more particularly of polymer foam in one or more layers.
  • the preferentially circular shape of the section of the target 2 allows a rolling movement on a bearing surface as described in detail below.
  • a barrel 5 is provided above the launch zone to allow the loading and the successive delivery of targets 2.
  • the cylinder 5 shown comprises a plurality parallel rods and delimiting substantially cylindrical volumes for receiving targets 2 superimposed.
  • the barrel 5 is rotated by means independent or coupled with the driving means of the throwing arm so that, when a throw is desired, the barrel 5 is rotated to cause the delivery of a target 2 in the direction of the launch zone near the arm 1.
  • the barrel 5 overcomes an inclined ramp 6 making it possible to deliver an exit target of the barrel 5 to a loading zone 9 at which the target 2 can descend along a chute 10 up to a stop 1 1 likely to counter following its descent.
  • the launching arm 1 can be actuated so as to project the target 2 thus positioned.
  • the launch arm 1 comprises at its distal end a roller 3 of substantially circular section and advantageously pivotally mounted relative to the rest of the launching arm 1 so as to rest on the target while maintaining freedom of movement in own rotation.
  • a bearing surface 12 is provided to accompany the projection movement of the target 2.
  • the bearing surface 12 is located below the launch arm 1 and is configured to receive a target 2 by its slice.
  • the bearing surface 12 has a longitudinal profile (that is to say oriented in the direction of the views of Figures 1 to 9, in a plane transverse to the axis of rotation 4 of the throwing arm).
  • the concave longitudinal profile thus has a cradle shape adapted to receive the target 2 and guide it during its projection movement to ensure the regularity of the guide, the bearing surface is advantageously in an arc.
  • the arc of the circle in question is preferably centered on the axis of rotation 4.
  • the width of the bearing surface 12 is not limited but is advantageously equal to or slightly greater than the thickness of the portion of the target 2.
  • the apparatus comprises a base piece 13 having a flank 14 oriented substantially perpendicular to the bearing surface 12 so as to constitute a limiting surface of the deflection of the target 2 bearing on the bearing surface 12. Furthermore, the base part 13 constitutes a first portion of the bearing surface 12. Advantageously, this first portion is located upstream of a second portion in the direction of rotation of the throwing arm when it is in the projection phase. Thus, the first portion formed in the base piece 13 constitutes the first support element which receives the target 2 during its projection. The support is continued by a second portion formed in another room here constituted for example by a flap 15.
  • the illustrated flap 15 comprises a flank portion 16 facing vis-à-vis the sidewall 14 of the base part 13 so as to constitute a limitation to the movement of the target 2 by the target face 2 opposite the face opposite the sidewall 14.
  • the flap 15 comprises the second portion involved in the production of the surface of support 12.
  • the flap 15 is capable of mobility here in rotation relative to the fixed base part 13 in the example with respect to the base 7 of the launcher.
  • the rotational mobility provides the possibility of an adjustment of the relative position of the flap 15 and the base part 13.
  • these two constituent parts of the apparatus are capable of fitting with a variable amplitude so as to modify their overlap surface at the level of the bearing surface 12.
  • the bearing surface 12 can be shortened by passing a part of the second portion of the bearing surface 12 in superposition (advantageously from below the first portion of the bearing surface 12) in overlap of the base part 13.
  • any means for adjusting the rotation of the shutter 15 is within the scope of the invention.
  • the flap 15 is pivotally mounted about an axis advantageously parallel or identical to the axis of rotation 4 of the throwing arm 1.
  • means are provided for stopping the rotation of the flap 15 so as to immobilize it when the desired angular position of the flap 15 is reached.
