Definitions
- the present invention relates to a machine for launching targets. It is particularly applicable to the practice of shooting, such as archery.
- shooting training can be done using machines capable of projecting targets.
- the most common targets are called clay pigeons and are propelled by a throwing arm whose machine is equipped.
- the assembly can be motorized and a storage unit of a plurality of targets ensures the repetitive and at least partially automated character of the throws.
- a target is loaded so as to reach the level of an area where the thrust of the throwing arm takes place. Before being expelled, the target comes into contact with parts of the machine. In particular, during its loading and / or at the projection zone, the target is controlled in position by guiding surfaces, in particular by contact with the faces of the target. The cooperation between the target and the guide elements is however perfectible.
- the document US 1638283 describes a device for launching targets.
- the apparatus comprises two guide plates spaced from each other and between which is disposed a track on which is in contact the edge of a target.
- the track has a high coefficient of friction. No means is provided to improve the guidance of the target.
- the invention aims to improve this cooperation and proposes for this purpose a machine such that the contact between the guide surface of one or more faces of the target operates at least in part by discontinuous contact areas. While it is believed that smooth and even surface guidance is desirable, the Applicant surprisingly found that a discontinuous contact provided less target adhesion on the faces of the target and noted that that this decrease in adhesion was not negligible.
- a smaller lateral adhesion makes it possible to favor the contact of the target by its slice, which improves the exit trajectory of the target and allows an effective clean rotation which reinforces the stability of the target projected.
- the invention is particularly satisfactory with discoidal targets and in particular with plastic targets such as polymeric foams.
- the invention relates to a machine for launching disc-shaped targets with two faces located on either side of a slice, comprising means for loading a target in a projection zone, a target launching arm located in the projection zone and a target guiding surface in contact with at least one of its faces, characterized in that the guiding surface comprises at least a portion in which the zones of contact with the face of the target are discontinuous.
- the machine comprises a base 1 equipped with support means on the ground, the base being surmounted by a frame 2 adapted to receive different components of the machine.
- a barrel 3 overcomes the entire device and comprises a plurality of columns 4 each capable of receiving a series of targets 5 in stack.
- the number of columns 4 is not limited.
- the barrel 3 is rotatably mounted along an axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the columns 4 corresponding to the stacking direction of the targets 5.
- the barrel 3 constitutes a loading means component of a target in view of its projection.
- the barrel 3 cooperates with means for delivering a target towards the projection part.
- the delivery means comprise means for releasing the target 5 located in the lower part of one of the columns 4 while retaining the other targets 5 which surmount it.
- the launching portion of the target it can be implemented with an arm 9 in the rotary mounted example as it appears in FIG. figures 3 and 4 .
- the arm 9 is terminated by a roller 10 pivotally mounted on the rest of the structure of the arm 9 and thus the peripheral wall provides the thrust surface on a target 5.
- target 5 is shown in particular to figures 3 and 4 , in disc-shaped form with a substantially flattened cylindrical envelope defined by two flat lateral faces spaced apart by a wafer 18 corresponding to the thickness of the cylindrical envelope.
- the section of the cylinder is advantageously circular but various shapes can be envisaged without departing from the scope of the invention.
- the invention is directed at targets for archery.
- the target 5 may be a cylindrical portion having dimensions of the order of 15 to 400 millimeters in diameter and 30 to 150 millimeters in thickness, more preferably for competition targets in particular 245 millimeters in diameter and 50 millimeters in thickness. and made of polymer foam.
- the target is preferably made of plastic.
- the target 5 can be a sandwich of several layers of polymer foam including a core layer harder than two layers located laterally on either side of the core layer.
- the central layer has a thickness of between 20 and 90 millimeters and in particular of the order of 30 millimeters.
- a thickness of the order of 7 millimeters to 20 millimeters and in particular 10 millimeters is particularly effective.
- the target 5 must be transferred to a projection zone where the arm 9 is located and where the latter operates its movement in rotation so as to produce the thrust of the target 5 and realize his ejection as figured in figure 4 .
- the movement of the arm 9 and the barrel 3 can be motorized and controlled.
- the arm 9 exerts a propulsive force on the target 5 via its wafer 18.
- the latter is applied to a bearing surface 11a, 11b with preferably a clean rotational movement.
- the bearing surface 11a, 11b is made in two portions each on a different part.
- a first portion 11a of the portion of the bearing surface is formed on a fixed member relative to the frame 2 of the machine. This portion 11a corresponds to a first portion of contact with the edge 18 of the target 5 relative to the direction of movement of the arm 9.
- a second portion 11b is formed on an adjustable part in position between the frame 2 and a shutter 13 reported on the rest of the machine.
- the part in question is advantageously a carriage mounted with a possibility of angular adjustment relative to the rest of the machine.
- the movement of the carriage relative to the frame 2 is for example guided by means of guides 20 illustrated in FIG. figure 2 .
- the carriage constitutes a support for the portion 11b and is guided in the guides 20 of the flap 13 and the frame 2.
- An alternative is to form a flap 13 adjustable in angular position and carrying the portion 11b.
- the portion 11b is a downstream portion of the bearing surface of the wafer 18.
- the ability to adjust the angular position of the portion 11b is provided to adjust the exit angle of the target 5. It is easily understood that more portion 11b is deployed, so as to increase the support surface 11b useful, the direction of ejection is vertical. This is particularly the case presented to figures 2 and 4 .
- the carriage is retracted so as to limit the useful support surface 11b, the ejection angle of the target 5 will be less vertical.
- the assembly consisting of the flap 13 and the opposite integral surface of the frame 2 constitutes a fairing 7 flanking the projection zone where the arm 9 is located.
- the displacement of the target 5 in particular during the projection movement but also possibly during loading phases from barrel 3 to the projection zone involves the presence of a guide of the target 5 so that its position is controlled.
- Pushing means enable the target 5 to be moved towards a transfer ramp 8 also represented in FIG. figure 4 in the form of a ramp in two parts of different inclinations, with a first zone less inclined than the second downstream zone.
- the ramp 8 allows the target 5 to transit to the projection zone corresponding to the zone where the arm 9 is present. Note that the transit phase can be made by simply taking advantage of the gravity of the target 5 This case is not limiting and the movement of the target 5 can be assisted by any means.
- the machine also comprises a guiding surface portion.
- a side panel 15 formed on the side of the frame 2 opposite the flap 13.
- Another side panel 14 is formed on the inner part of the flap 13.
- These two surfaces face each other and are likely to enter in contact with different faces of the target 5.
- the face of the target 5 may come into contact with the side panel 14 of the flap 13.
- the contact surfaces indicated previously are formed on a substantially plane support and parallel to the faces of the target 5.
- the slice 18 is applied on the bearing surface 11a, 11b at the projection zone and upstream, on a chute 12 visible to the figures 3 and 4 in a transit phase.
- At least part of the contact surfaces with the faces of the target 5 consists of discontinuous contact zones with the target 5.
- discontinuous contact zones it is understood that the realization of points, lines or surfaces of contact at least part of which does not fit in the continuity of others and are separated by areas not having contact with the target 5.
- the discontinuous contact zones are formed by means of a plurality of bumps 17 protruding on the contact surfaces towards one of the faces 19 of the target 5 so as to be able to be applied on the latter without the target contact / contact surface being made on the entire surface of the corresponding face of the target 5.
- bumps 17 with a rounded apex with a diameter of between 5 and 20 millimeters can give satisfaction.
- These bumps 17 can be made by a stamping phase of the mechanical sheets constituting the surfaces in question. This case is not limiting, however, and other shapes can be formed including reliefs with sharp peaks or by means of embossed surfaces in which the summit parts opposite to the cells constitute the discontinuous contact zones.
- the guide surfaces can be formed with cut sheets in some places maintaining contact at other locations.
- a mechanically welded steel wire structure may be suitable for the guide surfaces.
- the discontinuous contact areas are configured such that the overall surface of the guide surface in contact with the target does not exceed 50% (and possibly less than 10%) of the area of the corresponding face of Target 5.
- This limited contact surface is particularly useful in a context of rainy or very wet use, greatly increasing the risk of adhesion of the target face to the machine, realizing a kind of "bonding" even risking to immobilize the target.
- the support surface 11a, 11b of the wafer 18 is advantageously formed with friction means so that the friction of the wafer 18 on the machine is operates essentially at the location of the slice 18.
- the target 5 is pressed on the bearing surface 11a, 11b moving it in a movement located in the plane of rotation of the arm 9 and advantageously producing a clean rotation of the target 5 capable of stabilizing its projection trajectory.
- the reduction of adhesion and friction on the guide surface makes it possible not to disturb this effect and not to brake the target 5.
- All or part of the bearing surface 11a, 11b also has friction means.
- the apparatus is thus configured so that the coefficient of friction of the bearing surface 11a, 11b relative to the target 5 is greater than that of a simple flat metal plate or a smooth plastic surface.
- the friction means advantageously comprise reliefs formed or reported on the bearing surface 11a, 11b.
- the reliefs can be of different types implemented alternately or in combination. In addition, it is not necessary that the reliefs are present over the entire length of the support surface.
- the bumps can be made by stamping.
- Their basic diameter is, for example, between 8 millimeters and 20 millimeters.
- the bumps 17 may comprise, at their top a hole achievable by cutting a metal sheet.
- the pressure exerted by the throwing arm 9 applies the slice 18 of the target 5 to the friction means, which produces a high friction, whereas it is weak at the target side faces 5.
- reliefs are formed by one or more strips of non-slip material.
- an agglomerate of particles embedded in a binder such as a polymer matrix or another resin
- a binder such as a polymer matrix or another resin
- a rough surface condition can be produced by treating the bearing surface 11a, 11b. It may in particular be sandblasting or other means for degrading, roughening or scratching the support surface 11a, 11b.
