Description
La présente invention se rapporte au domaine général de l'écologie et la protection de l'environnement. Elle vise plus particulièrement la récupération de balles projetées avec des armes à feu sur un stand de tir sportif et/ou professionnel.The present invention relates to the general field of ecology and environmental protection. It is more particularly aimed at the recovery of bullets projected with firearms on a sports and/or professional shooting range.
Pour s'entrainer à tirer sur des cibles avec des armes à feu telles que, par exemple, des carabines, des fusils d'assaut ou encore des pistolets, il est connu d'utiliser des stands de tirs sportifs et/ou professionnels. De manière classique, ces stands de tirs comportent de grandes buttes d'arrêt de tirs constituées d'un mélange de terre, de sable et/ou de graviers et devant lesquelles sont positionnées les cibles. Le but de ces buttes d'arrêt est d'absorber les balles projetées en évitant que ces dernières, une fois les cibles traversées, ne ricochent et/ou partent hors des stands de tir. Ces buttes d'arrêt sont certes efficaces mais présentent, du fait de leur constitution, l'inconvénient majeur de rendre difficile voire quasiment impossible la récupération de toutes les balles projetées. Dès lors, ces buttes d'arrêt, qui peuvent renfermer d'importantes quantités de balles projetées, représentent potentiellement un risque de contamination du stand de tirs associé et plus généralement de l'environnement, puisque les balles projetées sont principalement constituées de métaux lourds tels que le plomb, le zinc, le cuivre et l'antimoine.To train to shoot at targets with firearms such as, for example, rifles, assault rifles or even pistols, it is known to use sports and/or professional shooting ranges. Conventionally, these shooting ranges comprise large mounds for stopping shots consisting of a mixture of earth, sand and/or gravel and in front of which the targets are positioned. The purpose of these butts is to absorb the projected bullets by preventing the latter, once the targets have been crossed, from ricocheting and/or leaving the shooting ranges. These stop butts are certainly effective but have, because of their constitution, the major drawback of making it difficult or even almost impossible to recover all the projected balls. Therefore, these stop butts, which can contain large quantities of projected bullets, potentially represent a risk of contamination of the associated shooting range and more generally of the environment, since the projected bullets are mainly made up of heavy metals such as as lead, zinc, copper and antimony.
Par ailleurs, une norme française est actuellement à l'étude pour rendre obligatoire la dépollution des stands de tirs sportifs et/ou professionnels et, par conséquent, la récupération de l'intégralité des balles projetées.In addition, a French standard is currently being studied to make the depollution of sports and/or professional shooting ranges compulsory and, consequently, the recovery of all projected bullets.
Il est connu des dispositifs de récupération des balles tels que ceux décrits dans les demandes de brevet américain
Le but de la présente invention est de pallier les inconvénients des buttes d'arrêts connues de stands de tirs en proposant un dispositif simple à mettre en œuvre et permettant de récupérer, de façon pérenne et rapide, l'intégralité des balles projetées et donc d'éviter toute contamination du stand de tirs associé et plus généralement de l'environnement.The object of the present invention is to overcome the drawbacks of the known stop mounds of shooting ranges by proposing a device that is simple to implement and makes it possible to recover, in a sustainable and rapid manner, all of the projected bullets and therefore to avoid any contamination of the associated shooting range and more generally of the environment.
Conformément à l'invention, il est donc proposé un dispositif de récupération de balles pour des stands de tir pour des tireurs sportifs et/ou professionnels utilisant des armes à feu, ledit dispositif de récupération comprenant au moins selon le sens de déplacement des balles projetées :
- une cloison arrière étant une plaque imperméable aux balles projetées comportant le long de son bord inférieur ou supérieur un déflecteur,
- une pluralité d'éléments déviateurs disposés devant ladite cloison conformés pour dévier les balles projetées en direction dudit déflecteur, et
- un caniveau de récupération des balles projetées disposé au moins en partie sous l'ensemble cloison arrière - éléments déviateurs,
- a rear partition being a plate impermeable to projected bullets comprising along its lower or upper edge a deflector,
- a plurality of deflecting elements arranged in front of said shaped partition to deflect the projected balls in the direction of said deflector, and
- a gutter for recovering projected bullets disposed at least in part under the rear partition - deflector elements assembly,
Le dispositif de récupération peut comporter une cloison avant perméable aux balles projetées disposée devant les éléments déviateurs.The recovery device may comprise a front partition permeable to projected bullets arranged in front of the deflecting elements.
De manière avantageuse, la cloison avant s'étend sensiblement verticalement et comporte au moins une toile avant tendue réalisée à partir d'un matériau non rigide et non fragile.Advantageously, the front partition extends substantially vertically and comprises at least one stretched front canvas made from a non-rigid and non-fragile material.
La cloison avant comporte en outre une toile arrière semblable à la toile avant et tendue sensiblement parallèlement à cette dernière du côté des éléments déviateurs, l'écartement entre les toiles avant et arrière étant avantageusement réglable.The front partition further comprises a rear fabric similar to the front fabric and stretched substantially parallel to the latter on the side of the deflecting elements, the spacing between the front and rear fabrics being advantageously adjustable.
La cloison avant comporte également une couche amortissante disposée entre les toiles avant et arrière.The front bulkhead also has a shock-absorbing layer placed between the front and rear fabrics.
La cloison arrière présente avantageusement une inclinaison orientée vers le déflecteur, selon le sens de déplacement des balles projetées.The rear partition advantageously has an inclination oriented towards the deflector, according to the direction of movement of the projected balls.
Les éléments déviateurs sont de préférence des plaques disposées les unes au-dessus des autres et présentant une inclinaison orientée vers le déflecteur de la cloison arrière, selon le sens de déplacement des balles projetées.The deflecting elements are preferably plates arranged one above the other and having an inclination oriented towards the deflector of the rear partition, according to the direction of movement of the projected bullets.
Les éléments déviateurs présentent de manière avantageuse une courbure orientée vers ledit déflecteur.The deflecting elements advantageously have a curvature oriented towards said deflector.
Le caniveau de récupération est aménagé dans le sol S des stands de tirs.The recovery gutter is laid out in the ground S of the shooting ranges.
Le dispositif de récupération comporte avantageusement une plaque de guidage rejoignant le bas de la cloison arrière à l'intérieur du caniveau de récupération.The recovery device advantageously comprises a guide plate joining the bottom of the rear partition inside the recovery channel.

En référence à la
Selon le sens de déplacement des balles projetées représenté par une flèche sur la
- une cloison avant 2 perméable aux balles projetées,
- une cloison arrière 3 imperméable aux balles projetées,
- une pluralité d'éléments
déviateurs 4 disposés les uns au-dessus des autres devant ladite cloison arrière 3, et - un caniveau de
récupération 5 des balles projetées disposé au moins en partie sous l'ensemble cloison avant 2 - cloison arrière 3 -éléments déviateurs 4.
- a front partition 2 permeable to projected bullets,
- a rear partition 3 impermeable to projected bullets,
- a plurality of deflecting
elements 4 arranged one above the other in front of said rear partition 3, and - a
gutter 5 for recovering projected bullets arranged at least in part under the front partition 2 - rear partition 3 -deflector elements 4 assembly.
On désigne ici par "avant" un élément ou une partie d'un élément disposé du côté des tireurs et par "arrière" un élément ou une partie d'un élément disposé du côté opposé. Par ailleurs, on désigne ici par "perméable aux balles projetées" le fait que la cloison avant 2 est configurée pour permettre non pas de stopper les balles projetées, mais juste d'absorber une partie de l'énergie cinétique desdites balles projetées afin de ralentir ces dernières une fois ladite cloison avant 2 traversée. A l'inverse, on désigne ici par "imperméable aux balles projetées" le fait que la cloison arrière 4 fait office de bouclier et est configurée pour dévier les balles projetées.The term "front" designates here an element or part of an element arranged on the side of the shooters and by "rear" an element or part of an element arranged on the opposite side. Furthermore, the term "permeable to projected bullets" here denotes the fact that the front partition 2 is configured to not allow the projected bullets to be stopped, but just to absorb part of the kinetic energy of said projected bullets in order to slow down the latter once said front wall 2 crossing. Conversely, the term "impermeable to projected bullets" here denotes the fact that the
Compte tenu de la fonction de la cloison avant 2, qui n'est que de ralentir les balles projetées, on comprend bien que selon les types d'armes à feu et de calibres des cartouches utilisés, le dispositif de récupération 1 pourra ne pas comprendre de cloison avant 2, sans sortir du cadre de la présente invention.Given the function of the front partition 2, which is only to slow down projected bullets, it is clear that depending on the types of firearms and calibers of the cartridges used, the recovery device 1 may not include a front partition 2, without departing from the scope of the present invention.
Dans l'hypothèse d'un dispositif de récupération 1 comportant une cloison avant 2, cette dernière est de forme globalement rectangulaire ou parallélépipédique et s'étend sensiblement verticalement et parallèlement aux postes de tirs où sont positionnés les tireurs.Assuming a recovery device 1 comprising a front partition 2, the latter is generally rectangular or parallelepipedic in shape and extends substantially vertically and parallel to the firing positions where the shooters are positioned.
On désigne ici par "sensiblement verticalement" le fait qu'un élément ou une partie d'un élément fasse un angle par rapport à au sol S compris entre 45 et 90 degrés.The term "substantially vertically" denotes here the fact that an element or part of an element forms an angle with respect to the ground S of between 45 and 90 degrees.
On comprend bien que la cloison avant 2 aura une résistance à la perforation adaptée aux armes à feu et calibres des cartouches utilisés. Pour ce faire, la cloison avant 2 comporte au moins une toile avant 6 tendue réalisée à partir d'un matériau non rigide et non fragile tel que, par exemple, le caoutchouc.It is well understood that the front partition 2 will have a resistance to perforation adapted to the firearms and calibers of the cartridges used. To do this, the front partition 2 comprises at least one stretched front canvas 6 made from a non-rigid and non-fragile material such as, for example, rubber.
Selon un mode de réalisation nécessitant une résistance à la perforation plus importante, la cloison avant 2 comporte en outre une toile arrière 7 semblable à la toile avant 6 et tendue sensiblement parallèlement à cette dernière du côté des éléments déviateurs 3, l'écartement entre les toiles avant et arrière 6,7 étant avantageusement réglable.According to an embodiment requiring greater resistance to perforation, the front partition 2 further comprises a
Selon un mode de réalisation nécessitant une résistance à la perforation encore plus importante, la cloison avant 2 comporte en outre une couche amortissante 8 disposée entre les toiles avant et arrière 6,7, l'épaisseur de ladite couche amortissante 8 étant réglée en fonction des besoins par un écartement plus ou moins important entre les toiles avant et arrière 6,7. La couche amortissante 8 est de préférence constituée par une pluralité de granulats en caoutchouc.According to an embodiment requiring even greater resistance to perforation, the front partition 2 further comprises a
La cloison arrière 3 est une plaque, avantageusement métallique, comportant le long de son bord supérieur un déflecteur 9, dont la section transversale est en forme générale de C de manière à rabattre contre ladite cloison arrière 3 les balles projetées déviées par cette dernière. Pour dévier les balles projetées dans le déflecteur 9, ladite cloison arrière 3 présente avantageusement une inclinaison orientée vers le déflecteur 9, selon le sens de déplacement des balles projetées. La cloison arrière 4 forme avantageusement un angle α par rapport au sol S compris entre 60 et 80 degrés, et de préférence égal à 70 degrés.The rear partition 3 is a plate, advantageously metallic, comprising along its upper edge a deflector 9, the cross-section of which is in the general shape of a C so as to fold against said rear partition 3 the projected balls deflected by the latter. To deflect the balls projected into the deflector 9, said rear partition 3 advantageously has an inclination oriented towards the deflector 9, according to the direction of movement of the projected balls. The
Selon un mode de réalisation non représenté, la cloison arrière du dispositif de récupération 1 comporte un déflecteur le long de son bord inférieur, ledit un déflecteur étant alors incliné par rapport à l'horizontale et fait également office de goulotte pour guider les balles projetées déviées dans le caniveau de récupération 5.According to an embodiment not shown, the rear partition of the recovery device 1 comprises a deflector along its lower edge, said one deflector being then inclined relative to the horizontal and also acts as a chute to guide the projected balls deflected into the
De même, la cloison arrière 3 est avantageusement une plaque globalement plane, mais elle pourra également présenter une courbure orientée vers son déflecteur 9 pour dévier les balles projetées de façon progressive.Similarly, the rear partition 3 is advantageously a generally flat plate, but it may also have a curvature oriented towards its deflector 9 to deflect projected balls progressively.
Par ailleurs, selon un mode de réalisation avantageux, les cloisons avant et arrière 2,3 sont parallèles entre elles.Furthermore, according to an advantageous embodiment, the front and rear partitions 2.3 are parallel to each other.
Les éléments déviateurs 4 ont pour fonction d'absorber une partie de l'énergie cinétique des balles projetées en les déviant en direction du déflecteur 9 de la cloison arrière 3. Ainsi, ces éléments déviateurs 4 sont des plaques globalement, avantageusement métalliques, disposées les unes au-dessus des autres devant la cloison arrière 3 et, le cas échéant, derrière la cloison avant 2, et présentant une inclinaison orientée vers ledit déflecteur 9, selon le sens de déplacement des balles projetées, de manière à dévier ces dernières en direction de ce dernier. Selon un mode de réalisation avantageux, les éléments déviateurs 4 présentent en outre une courbure orientée vers le déflecteur 9 de la cloison arrière 3 pour dévier les balles projetées de façon progressive.The
Le caniveau de récupération 5 est de préférence aménagé dans le sol S au moins en partie sous l'ensemble cloison avant 2 - cloison arrière 3 - éléments déviateurs 4, c'est-à-dire que le caniveau de récupération 5 est situé au moins en partie en dessous du bas de l'ensemble cloison avant 2 - cloison arrière 3 - éléments déviateurs 4, et à l'aplomb de ce dernier ou bien décalé tout ou partie par rapport audit ensemble. En fonction de la forme et de la position dudit caniveau de récupération 5, le dispositif de récupération 1 de balles selon l'invention pourra comporter une plaque de guidage 10 rejoignant le bas de la cloison arrière 3 à l'intérieur du caniveau de récupération 5 pour permettre aux balles projetées rabattues contre ladite cloison arrière 3 de tomber par gravité dans ledit caniveau de récupération 5.The
Ainsi, avec cette configuration du dispositif de récupération 1 de balles selon l'invention, une fois tirées par les armes à feu des tireurs, les balles projetées sont, le cas échéant, tout d'abord freinées lors de la traversée de la cloison avant 2, elles sont ensuite déviées par les éléments déviateurs 4 puis la cloison arrière 3 jusque dans le déflecteur 9 où elles sont rabattues contre la cloison arrière 3, et enfin elles tombent par gravité le long de ladite cloison arrière 3 jusque dans le caniveau de récupération 5. On comprend bien que la configuration particulière du dispositif de récupération 1 de balles pour stands de tir selon l'invention avec son déflecteur 9 dont la section transversale est en forme générale de C de manière à rabattre contre la cloison arrière 3 les balles projetées déviées par cette dernière, permet de dissiper l'énergie cinétique et donc de réduire très rapidement la vitesse des balles projetées pour qu'elles puissent ensuite tomber uniquement par gravité dans le caniveau de récupération 5. En effet, les balles projetées percutent une première fois la cloison arrière 3 qui les dévie en direction du déflecteur 9, ce dernier déviant à son tour lesdites balles projetées pour qu'elles percutent une deuxième fois la cloison arrière 3 avec une vitesse très faible voire quasi nulle, afin d'éviter tout rebond intempestif desdites balles projetées et de leur permettre de tomber par gravité dans le caniveau de récupération 5.Thus, with this configuration of the bullet recovery device 1 according to the invention, once fired by the firearms of the shooters, the projected bullets are, if necessary, first of all braked during the crossing of the front partition 2, they are then deflected by the deflecting
On comprend bien qu'avec cette configuration la totalité des balles projetées sont facilement récupérer sans mise en œuvre de moyens techniques particuliers tels que des pelleteuses ou des camions. De même, le dispositif de récupération 1 de balles selon l'invention est pérenne car il ne faudra éventuellement remplacer que les éléments constitutifs de la cloison avant 2.It is well understood that with this configuration all of the projected balls are easily recovered without the use of special technical means such as excavators or trucks. Likewise, the bullet recovery device 1 according to the invention is durable because it will eventually only be necessary to replace the constituent elements of the front partition 2.
Le dispositif de récupération 1 de balles selon l'invention s'applique plus particulièrement aux stands de tir pour des tireurs sportifs et/ou professionnels utilisant des armes à feu, mais il peut également être utilisé pour le tir à l'arc ou à l'arbalète. Enfin, il va de soi que les exemples dispositif de récupération 1 conformes à l'invention qui viennent d'être décrits ne sont que des illustrations particulières, en aucun cas limitatives de l'invention qui est définée par les revendications ci-dessous.The bullet recovery device 1 according to the invention applies more particularly to shooting ranges for sports and/or professional shooters using firearms, but it can also be used for archery or archery shooting. 'crossbow. Finally, it goes without saying that the examples of recovery device 1 in accordance with the invention which have just been described are only particular illustrations, in no way limiting the invention which is defined by the claims below.
