Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a bulletproof target for training in firearm shooting.
  • training targets are generally formed by a rectangular box whose bottom wall is made of a hard steel plate thick enough to effectively capture bullets fired by a handgun or by a long gun.
  • a target of the prior art is described in DE 93 21 164 U1 .
  • this steel plate often has the drawback of generating a multitude of fragments upon impact of the bullet. These shards, projected in the direction of the shooters, can therefore accidentally injure one of them. Moreover, if, due to the bad adjustment of the shot, one of the bullets impacts said steel plate at an angle, a very dangerous ricochet may occur which can redirect the bullet in the direction of the shooters. Such training targets therefore do not provide satisfactory protection from the point of view of the safety of the shooters.
  • the present invention therefore aims to provide a target for training shooting by firearm making it possible to solve the aforementioned problems.
  • a shooting training target for a firearm according to claim 1.
  • This target 10 is in particular formed of an upper part 11 intended to receive the balls and of a lower part 12 serving as a base for the upper part.
  • the base 12 could simply be placed on the ground without being fixed thereto.
  • the upper part 11 will be fixed on this base 12 by welding or by using any other possible fixing means.
  • the base 12 is in particular formed of an internal structure, preferably of metal, surrounded by a padding 123 of polyurethane or rubber so as to stabilize the base 12 on the ground.
  • the internal structure may in particular include a circular foot 121 intended to rest on the ground and a section 122 fixed substantially in the middle of the foot 121 and extending perpendicularly thereto.
  • the base 12 may be anchored in the ground so as to avoid any risk of the target tipping over.
  • the upper part 11 of the target is in particular formed of a housing 20 of substantially parallelepipedal shape.
  • the housing 20 is intended to collect the bullets arriving on the target. It therefore comprises three main constituent parts, namely a bottom wall 22 intended to capture bullets having an incidence of 0 ° with respect to a main direction of firing, a lattice structure 26 disposed in front of the bottom wall 22 according to the normal direction of shooting, the function of which will be specified later, and a protective screen 28 arranged in front of the lattice structure 26 in the normal direction of shooting, the function of which is in particular to stop any bullet fragments produced during the impact of the bullets against the bottom wall 22 or against the lattice structure 26.
  • removable connection means can advantageously be provided at the level of the protective screen 28 and / or the bottom wall 22 to allow the removable fixing of the protective screen on the bottom wall, the lattice structure. 26 being wedged between said protective screen and said bottom wall.
  • these removable connection means consist of a series of fixing hooks 18 arranged at the periphery of the bottom wall on which are hooked segments of ropes 16, preferably of the paracord type, fixed at their two ends on the protective screen 28.
  • the string segments 16 are arranged along the side faces of the housing 20 in a substantially triangular profile and press against protective plates 142, 143 arranged on each side of the casing when tensioning means 181 act on the fixing hooks 18 so as to bring them closer to the casing, thus stretching the string segments.
  • the protective plates 142, 143 will advantageously be made of a shock-absorbing material so as to protect the side edges or side faces of the housing from possible direct bullet shots.
  • the plates 142, 143 could in particular be formed of polyurethane or of rubber.
  • the bottom wall 22 may in particular consist of a metal plate, such as steel, of variable thickness.
  • the thickness of the plate may vary depending on the caliber of the weapon used. It will in particular be able to capture any handgun or long gun bullet which would be fired in a direction D0 perpendicular to the plane P defined by the wall 22 (see figure 11 ).
  • this plate 22 can in particular be integrated into a parallelepipedic structure 24, open on its front face, and comprising two opposite side walls, respectively upper 241 and lower 243a, oriented horizontally, and two opposite side walls, respectively left 242 and right 244, oriented vertically, the lower side wall 243a being connected to the side walls 242 and 244 by oblique walls 243b and 243c.
  • the terms “horizontally” and “vertically” refer to a target that would be placed on a flat surface parallel to the ground. Said structure 24 thus defines a receptacle making it possible to contain both the aforementioned lattice structure 26 and the protective screen 28.
  • the lattice structure 26 comprises a first series of plates 261 parallel to the same first plane P1 and a second series of plates 262 parallel to the same second plane P2, the plane P1 being perpendicular to the plane P defined by the bottom wall 22 and oriented vertically and the plane P2 being oriented downwards and slightly obliquely with respect to the horizontal when the lattice structure 26 is positioned inside the structure 24.
  • the angle ⁇ formed between the plane P and the plane P2 can thus vary between 45 ° and 90 °.
  • the plates 261, respectively 262 will advantageously be distributed uniformly over the entire length, respectively width, of the structure 24.
  • the plates 261, 262 thus define a plurality of unit compartments 263, each compartment being bordered, at the top and at the bottom, by a segment of a plate 262 and, on the left and on the right, by a segment of a plate 261.
  • the plates 261, 262 will be made of metal and will be configured to deflect any bullets arriving at an angle inside the housing 20, or more generally having an oblique incidence with respect to the main direction of shot D0. In this way, the possible returns of the bullets will lose a large part of their kinetic energy before hitting the protective screen 28, thus greatly reducing the risk that a bullet fired at an angle accidentally ricochets against one of the shooters.
  • the plates 261 will be spaced from one another so as to absorb bullet fragments in the danger zone located at 20 ° from the point of impact (see figure 11 ).
  • the lattice structure 26 will preferably be in one piece, the plates 261 and 262 being assembled to each other by fitting.
  • each plate 261 and 262 may be provided with a series of cutouts opening onto a rear edge oriented towards the bottom wall 22 or on a front edge opposite said rear edge, said cutouts having a width substantially equal to or slightly greater than to the thickness of the plates 261, 262 so as to allow the embedding of a plate 261 inside cutouts of one or more plates 262 and, conversely, the embedding of a plate 262 inside cutouts of one or more plates 261.
  • a first advantageous variant of the invention shown in figure 9a , will consist in configuring the lattice structure 26 such that a bullet having an incidence i1 relative to the bottom wall 22, i1 being less than or equal to 45 ° (which corresponds to an incidence of more than 45 ° per relative to the direction D0), and first striking the bottom wall 22, is necessarily deflected towards a plate 261 thereafter.
  • This result may in particular be obtained by a judicious choice of the height H1, as measured in the direction D0, and of the length L1, as measured in the horizontal direction, of each compartment 263.
  • a second advantageous variant of the invention shown in the figure 9b , will consist of configuring the lattice structure 26 such that a bullet having an incidence i2 relative to the bottom wall 22, i2 being less than or equal to 45 ° (which corresponds to an incidence of more than 45 ° per relative to the direction D0), must first strike a plate 261, then be deflected thereafter towards the bottom wall 22.
  • This result could in particular be obtained by a judicious choice of the height H2, as measured according to the direction D0, and the length L2, as measured horizontally, of each compartment 263.
  • a first improvement consists, as shown in the figure 4 , to arrange the lattice structure 26 relative to the bottom wall 22 so as to leave a free space e between the plates 262 and the bottom of the structure 24.
  • This free space e will allow the residues of balls produced after the impact against the bottom wall 22 to evacuate downwards, towards the bottom wall 243a either directly or after having slid along the oblique walls 243b, 243c.
  • Cutouts 264 formed at the lower edges of the plates 261 will advantageously be provided to prevent a part of the residues from accumulating against said plates 261 before reaching the lower wall 243a.
  • this opening 25 may for example open out inside a pipe 251, a free end of which, closed by a removable plug 252, may be connected to a suction device.
  • a second improvement consists, as shown in the figures 4 and 11 , in covering the bottom wall 22 with a series of contiguous metal strips 222, disposed obliquely with respect to the plane P defined by the bottom wall, said strips 222 forming a sawtooth structure intended to absorb a part of the energy of the bullets.
  • This improvement could in particular be used in the case of shots at close range or for large caliber firearms, for which the risk of premature damage to the back wall exists.
  • the sawtooth structure has a first series of slats inclined at an angle ⁇ 1 with respect to the plane P and a second series of slats inclined at an angle ⁇ 2 with respect to the plane P, ⁇ 1 and ⁇ 2 being equal , in absolute value, at 45 ° but having opposite orientations. In other variant embodiments of the invention, the angles ⁇ 1 and ⁇ 2 may be different from 45 °.
  • the sawtooth structure will preferably be removably attached to the bottom wall, so as to facilitate its replacement when the latter is too worn. In the example shown, this removable attachment is produced by means of magnets 223 arranged in blind holes formed inside support pads 221 attached to the bottom wall 22.
  • Each support pad 221 will advantageously have a shape of right triangular prism, the dimensions of which will be chosen to allow perfect interlocking of the sawtooth structure on said support pads.
  • Said magnets 223 will be configured to generate a sufficient force of attraction vis-à-vis the metal strips to press the sawtooth structure onto said support pads. This only during the assembly and disassembly phases, during use, it is locked in place by the mesh 26 through the retaining bars 245 and the clever cutout.
  • the protective screen 28 is formed of several independent protective plates 281-285 connected to each other in a detachable manner by means of adhesive strips 141 (see figure 1 ), each of the plates defining a specific firing zone.
  • Plates 281-285 will be advantageously made of a shock-absorbing material, in particular polyurethane or rubber.
  • two central plates 282, 284 each have a through opening, respectively 286 and 287, which opens onto a housing formed at the rear of the plate 282, respectively 284, said housing making it possible to accommodate a removable insert 288, respectively 289 Said housing will have dimensions slightly greater than that of the associated opening and, preferably, substantially identical to those of the associated removable insert.
  • one or the other of the removable inserts 288 and 289 can be easily removed and replaced by a substantially identical replacement insert simply by disconnecting the plate in which it is housed from the rest of the housing 20.
  • the positions of the removable inserts 288 and 289 will in particular be chosen to correspond to areas strongly impacted by the bullets.
  • an additional protective curtain 29 covering the entire rear surface of the protective screen 28 may also be interposed between the protective screen 28 and the projecting structure 26 so as to reinforce the protection against bullet fragments.
