Abstract

The utility model relates to a device for floating targets for training shooting from small arms, made in the form of shields mounted on floats. The collapsible floating target can be used to provide firing, training personnel to defeat non-self-propelled (drifting), towed surface targets from deck machine gun mounts of 12.7 mm and 14.5 mm caliber, remotely controlled modules of all types, and other small arms of 7.62 caliber mm. The advantages of the target are the design of the bearing part of the target, which is foldable. The design is designed in such a way that 1 person can assemble and disassemble the target. The bearing part is made of polyethylene (PE) material, thus it is unsinkable, even if it hits the structure multiple times. And as a result, the design is reusable. Assembly and disassembly is carried out without any tools. Assembly time up to 9 minutes (2 people involved). Disassembly time up to 7 minutes (2 people involved). Target weight 58.4 kg. Only 2 people are needed for loading. Target weight with container-bag 87 kg. The transfer is carried out by 4 people. Possibility of installation on the target body and electronic equipment for visual observation of hits. Permissible operating conditions of the product, not more than: operating temperature of the medium from +5°С to +55°С; total wind speed of any direction up to 25 m/s; relative air humidity 98% at +35°C for the inner shell located inside the outer shell and 100% at +35°C for instruments and devices located on the outer shell; the maximum amplitude of pitching and yawing at a sea state of 3 points without restrictions on long-term exposure to sea water (coastal climate). The technical objective of the proposed utility model is to increase the strength and wear resistance of the structure of the floating target, reduce the weight of the floating target, increase the transportability of the floating target, reduce the time for assembling the floating target. The technical result of the application of the proposed utility model is to increase the strength of the structure and reduce its total weight (up to 10 times from the prototypes) through the use of modern materials - polyethylene, PVC and fiberglass, increase the wear resistance of the structure, tk. the materials used allow it to be reused after numerous hits by small arms bullets. In addition, the ergonomics of the product and the convenience of assembly and disassembly are improved, which helps to reduce the assembly and disassembly time, reduce the number of service personnel required to launch a floating target into the water and increase the transportability of the product.

Description

The utility model relates to a device for floating targets for training shooting from small arms, made in the form of shields mounted on floats.

From the prior art a floating device for setting targets in the form of a single log float, equipped with racks for strengthening targets and one or more keels - counterweights designed to impart stability [1]. The disadvantages of this technical solution are the significant weight of the structure due to the use of counterweights for stability, the inconvenience of launching the assembled structure into the water due to its size and fragility, the significant time spent on assembling the structure on land or on water, the inconvenience of transportation due to the non-separable design of the product, rapid wear due to the use of wooden structures that collapse due to bullets.

A floating target [2] is also known from the prior art, containing a body completely submerged in water, made with the possibility of being at a given depth below the water level and containing vertical and horizontal stabilizing blades, and fixed on the body, rising above the water, two vertical supports, between which the target flag is stretched. The disadvantages of this technical solution are the impossibility of stationary fixation of the position (for example, in the form of fastening to the bottom of the reservoir), which can lead to the demolition of the target by wind and undercurrents, as well as the inconvenience of transportation due to the non-separable design of the product.

The technical objective of the proposed utility model is to increase the strength and wear resistance of the structure of the floating target, reduce the weight of the floating target, increase the transportability of the floating target, reduce the time for assembling the floating target.

This technical problem is solved due to the fact that:

1. A folding floating target for training shooting from small arms, made in the form of a float part and a shield, characterized in that it consists of a folding reusable float bearing part, to which a floating anchor and a marker buoy are attached using halyards, and a screen with corner reflectors.

2. A folding floating target according to claim 1, characterized in that the folding reusable float bearing part consists of four arms in the form of hollow cylinders made of polyethylene, connected to each other by hinged joints through a lock box, and unfolding into a cross, in the upper part of which technological mounting holes with catchers for installing target screen racks in them, moreover, the arms are equipped with eye-kerchiefs at the ends, and float stabilizers in the form of semicircles are welded in the lower part of the arms.

3. A folding floating target according to claim 1, characterized in that the screen is a prefabricated flat rectangular structure consisting of three racks of fiberglass pipes interconnected by a PVC target sheet stitched with fiberglass reinforcement to reduce the likelihood of its sagging, and the racks are equipped with locking flag fingers for secure fixation of the web, and in the upper part of the outer posts there are slots for installing corner reflectors.

The essence of the utility model is illustrated by drawings, which show:

position 1 - folding reusable float bearing part;

position 2 - halyard;

position 3 - marker buoy;

position 4 - anchor;

position 5 - screen;

position 6 - corner reflector

position 10 - holes with catchers;

position 11 - eye-kerchief;

position 12 - float stabilizer.

The technical result of the application of the proposed utility model is to increase the strength of the structure and reduce its total weight (up to 10 times from the prototypes) through the use of modern materials - polyethylene, PVC and fiberglass, increase the wear resistance of the structure, tk. the materials used allow it to be reused after numerous hits by small arms bullets. In addition, the ergonomics of the product and the convenience of assembly and disassembly are improved, which helps to reduce the assembly and disassembly time, reduce the number of service personnel required to launch a floating target into the water and increase the transportability of the product.
