Description

  • The present invention relates to packages for cartridges of firearms. More precisely the present invention relates to a package for cartridges of firearms according to the preamble part of claim 1.
  • Packages for cartridges of firearms typically comprise a container element filled with a given number of cartridges, and at least one closure element for said container element. In cartridge packages the container element typically consists of a simple box and the closure element is formed of a cover which can be swung by folding or is removable by pulling out. The cartridges are arranged in the box either loosely or in a holding element such as, for instance, a honeycomb frame. On the outside of the container element typically has been attached a label with information of the cartridges. The information on the label comprises for example caliber, information of bullet; type, code, weight, game, velocity, length of barrel, energy, trajectory, gee. The information can also be directly printed on the surface of the container element. Trajectory of the bullet of the cartridge type contained in the container element is typically presented in a trajectory table indicating the trajectory of the bullet at given distances in the calibrating adjustment temperature, typically + 20 °C.
  • Among other things such as gravity, wind, humidity, elevation also temperature has an effect to the trajectory of the bullet. The air temperature and the temperature of the powder are the main influencing factors in the temperature effect to the trajectory of the bullet. In figure 1 is shown an example of temperature effect on bullet trajectory. As can been seen in longer distances the effect increases and especially in game hunting where the shooting distance is longer, the temperature effect is significant in respect of the shooting accuracy and thus to success of shooting. Thus when shooting in temperatures not corresponding to the calibrating adjustment temperature, the trajectory will not be as desired as the information needed for temperature correction is not available.
  • An object of the present invention is to create a package for cartridges of firearms by which the above described problem relating to need of information of temperature effect on the bullet trajectory is eliminated or at least minimized.
  • Another object of the present invention is to create a new type of presenting information of temperature effect on the bullet trajectory.
  • In order to achieve the above objects and those that will come apparent later the package for cartridges of firearms is mainly characterized by the features of the characterizing part of claim 1.
  • Dependent claims present advantageous features and embodiments of the invention.
  • According to the invention the package for cartridges of firearms comprises a container element filled with a given number of cartridges and on the container element arranged information of temperature effect on the trajectory by means of intelligent printings each visible at the selected temperature or temperature range. Advantageously the information of the temperature effect on the trajectory is arranged on the outer surface of the container element. By this the effect of temperature on the trajectory is available to the shooter for the required correction needed at the shooting temperature.
  • According to an advantageous feature of the invention temperature effect on the trajectory of at least two temperatures or temperature ranges has been printed on container element or on a label attached on the container element.
  • According to an advantageous feature of the invention temperature effect on the trajectory of at least two temperature ranges has been printed on the container element or on the label attached on the container element by intelligent printings each visible at the selected temperature or temperature range of the at least two temperatures or temperature ranges. By this the temperature effect in trajectory at the shooting temperature is visible and easily available for the shooter.
  • According to an advantageous feature of the invention the label comprising the information of the temperature effect on the trajectory is releasably attached on the container element so that the shooter can take a number of cartridges and the label with him when going to shoot and leave the container behind with the rest of the cartridges.
  • According to an advantageous feature of the invention the label comprising the information of the temperature effect on the trajectory is releasably and reattachably attached on the container element so that the shooter can take a number of cartridges and the label with him when going to shoot and leave the container behind with the rest of the cartridges and at shooting attach the label on the magazine and when back from the shooting re-attach the label on the container element for future needs.
  • According to an advantageous feature of the invention the information of the temperature effect on the trajectory is arranged as a table and/or as a curve.
  • Advantageously the container element comprises at least one closure element and consists of a simple box and the closure element is formed of a cover which can be swung by folding or is removable by pulling out. The cartridges are arranged in the box either loosely or in a holding element such as, for instance, a honeycomb frame.
  • Advantageously on the container element or on the label of the container element is arranged additional information useful for the shooter when the shooting.
  • In this description and the following claims by intelligent printing is meant a printing made by intelligent printing ink, which comprises substances and/or particles that effects the visibility of the printing in relation to temperature or temperature range such that the printing is visible at given temperature or temperature range.
  • In the following the invention and its advantages are explained in greater detail below in the sense of examples and with reference to accompanying drawings, where
    • in figure 1 is schematically shown an example of a curve diagraph indicating temperature effect on trajectory,
    • in figure 2 is schematically shown examples of table diagraphs indicating temperature effect on trajectory and
    • in figure 3 is schematically shown other examples of table diagraphs indication temperature effect on trajectory.
  • In figure 1 is schematically shown an example of temperature effect on bullet trajectory as a curve diagraph 10. According to this example of the invention the package for cartridges of firearms comprises the information of the temperature effect on the trajectory at temperatures +20 °C or -20 °C or + 40 ° as a curve diagraph 10 in accordance with the example of figure 1. Advantageously the curve diagraph has been printed on container element or on a label attached on the container element by intelligent printings such that each curve is visible at the selected temperature or temperature range only, which then corresponds the shooting environment temperature.
