Definitions

  • the present invention relates to packages for cartridges of firearms having a container element filled with a number of cartridges.
  • Packages for cartridges of firearms typically comprise a container element filled or fillable with a given number of cartridges, and at least one closure element for the container element.
  • 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.
  • a label with information about the cartridges is typically attached to the outside of the container element.
  • the information on the label comprises for example caliber, information of bullet type, code, weight, game, velocity, length of barrel, energy, trajectory, etc.
  • 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.
  • temperature also 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.
  • FIG. 1 shows an example of the temperature effect on bullet trajectory. As can been seen for 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 the need for information regarding the 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.
  • the package for cartridges of firearms is mainly characterized by the features of the characterizing part of claim 1 .
  • the package for cartridges of firearms comprises a container element filled with a given number of cartridges and on the container element is arranged information of temperature effect on the trajectory by means of intelligent printings each visible at the selected temperature or temperature range.
  • the information of the temperature effect on the trajectory is arranged on the outer surface of the container element.
  • temperature effect on the trajectory of at least two temperatures or temperature ranges is printed on the container element or on a label attached on the container element.
  • temperature effect on the trajectory of at least two temperature ranges is 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the information of the temperature effect on the trajectory is arranged as a table and/or as a curve.
  • the container element comprises at least one closure element having a simple box and the closure element also has 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.
  • the container element or on the label of the container element is arranged additional information useful for the shooter when the shooting.
  • intelligent printing is meant a printing made by intelligent printing ink, which comprises substances and/or particles that affect the visibility of the printing in relation to temperature or temperature range such that the printing is visible at given temperature or temperature range.
  • FIG. 1 schematically shows an example of a curve diagraph indicating temperature effect on trajectory
  • FIG. 2 schematically shows examples of table diagraphs indicating temperature effect on trajectory
  • FIG. 3 schematically shows other examples of table diagraphs indicating temperature effect on trajectory.
  • FIG. 1 schematically shows an example of temperature effect on bullet trajectory as a curve diagraph 10 .
  • 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 FIG. 1 .
  • the curve diagraph has been printed on a 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.
  • FIG. 2 schematically shows three table diagraphs indicating examples of temperature effects on bullet trajectory as tables 11 , 12 , 13 , each for a given temperature to be arranged on the container element.
  • table 11 is temperature effect on bullet trajectory when the temperature is +20° C.
  • table 12 is temperature effect on bullet trajectory when the temperature is ⁇ 20° C.
  • table 13 is temperature effect on bullet trajectory when the temperature is +40° C.
  • each table 11 , 12 , 13 is visible at the corresponding temperature i.e. +20° C. or ⁇ 20° C. or +40° and thus vide in shooting environment temperature.
  • the package for cartridges of firearms comprises the information of the temperature effect on the trajectory, which information is arranged on container element for example as table diagraphs 11 , 12 , 13 in accordance with the examples of FIG. 2 .
  • FIG. 3 schematically shows three table diagraphs indicating examples of temperature effects on bullet trajectory as tables 21 , 22 , 23 , each for a given temperature to be arranged on the container element.
  • table 21 values of temperature effect on the bullet trajectory are visible when the temperature is +20° C.
  • table 22 values of temperature effect on the bullet trajectory are visible when the temperature is ⁇ 20° C.
  • table 33 values of temperature effect on the bullet trajectory are visible when the temperature is +40° C.
  • the package for cartridges of firearms comprises the information of the temperature effect on the trajectory at the shooting environment temperature, which information is arranged on container element for example as table diagraphs 21 , 22 , 23 in accordance with the examples of FIG. 3 .
