Definitions

  • ABSTRACT Target-shooting dummy formed of elastic and rigid board material allowing a part of a dummy, consisting of two board elements of the material fastened together and parallel to one another, to -be kept upright, even during movement, by attachment to the lower edge of the boards, the dummy being composed of two parts each consisting of two board elements fastened together at one end along a given length and at the other end bent apart against the elastic action of the material, and with the insides of their outer edges fastened to the corresponding insides of the outer edges of the two corresponding and similarly treated elements in the other part of the dummy,
  • the invention relates to target-shooting dummies, target screens or the like of board material.
  • dummies or screens are used, for example, in target-shooting against large targets representing trucks, tanks etc.
  • dummies of natural size are used which constitute images of the target viewed from the side and/or front.
  • Such dummies may either be made of cardboard or fabric stretched over a wooden frame or may consist of target images in two projections made of corrugated board, wood fiberboards or the like, the various parts, representing a front and rear half of the lateral projection of, for example, a tank, as also the right and left half of the frontal projection of such a tank, being joined together by suitable means.
  • These four parts which in turn may be composed of smaller subelements, are attached to the crossing-point, for example by means of angular laths of wood, board or the like.
  • the present invention is intended to make the dummy more true to life and to increase its rigidity and resistance to unfavorable weather conditions, and consists essentially in the fact that it is composed of two parts, each consisting of two board elements fastened together at one end along a given length and bent apart at the other end against the elastic action of the material, one pair of elements being fastened to the insides of the outer edges of the two corresponding and similarly treated elements of the dummy etc. forming the other part, whereby, viewed from above, the dummy forms a figure reminiscent of an asteroid.
  • the dummy should preferably be reinforced by means of an undercarriage with rails in the form of an asteroid, which mate with the undersides of the board elements.
  • the elements may in such case be made of hardened wood fiberboards, parafiin-impregnated corrugated boards or the like, or may consist of suitably extruded plastic boards with a profile resembling corrugated board.
  • the invention also relates to a method for manufacturing the dummy etc. according to the invention, consisting essentially in the fact that one first manufactures two parts of the dummy, each consisting of two board elements of a certain rigidity and elasticity, by joining together the board elements, two by two, at one end along a given length of the elements, then separating the elements at the opposite ends of the twoparts formed in this way against the elastic action of the elements, finally fastening together the insides of the outer edges of the bent apart elements of the two parts, so that the dummy etc., viewed from above, forms a figure reminiscent of an asteroid.
  • FIG. 1 a dummy built according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 a part consisting of two board elements in such a dummy.
  • the dummy shown in FIG. 1 is intended to give the illusion of a tank.
  • such a dummy consists of two parts 1, each consisting of two board elements 2, 3 and 2', 3, respectively, of the kind shown in FIG. 2.
  • Each such board element 2, 3, 2, 3' is made preferentially of a board of extruded plastic rather pronounced of corrugated board in its construction.
  • Between two sheet surfaces it forms a number of ribs 4 perpendicular to the sheets which give the board composed of the sheets and the ribs 4 a great elasticity and rigidity.
  • Such boards can at present be obtained commercially in widths of cm and in practically unlimited lengths.
  • the dummy may be built up of four board elements 2, 3, 2, 3', about 3 k m long and about 130 m high.
  • a board 2a, 3a, 2'a, 3'a is jointed to each board 2, 3 and 2, 3, respectively, for example by means of a rivet seam 5.
  • the dummy manufactures first four boards 2, 3, 2, 3(2a, 3a, 2'a, 3'a), one end of the board intended to represent the front or rear portion of the tank being slightly chamfered. Two such boardelements are then joined together at their chamfered ends essentially up to line 7, where the turret is intended to start.
  • the jointing can be done either by glueing, welding or riveting with a riveting machine,
  • the dummy or screen according to the invention can, of course, also be made of other material, for example paraffin-impregnated corrugated board or wood fiberboards, or of sheet metal.
  • the dummy or screen can also be used for other purposes, e.g. for representation of other vehicles, ships, aircraft, objects in a landscapeetc.
  • the dummy according to the invention thus has greater rigidity, a
  • a shooting dummy or target comprised of two parts, each of which includes: 1. two board elements;
  • each of said board elements having longitudinal and transverse axis
  • said other of said ends further having the inner of 7 said edges fastened to the corresponding inner edges of the two corresponding and similarly treated elements in the other part of the dummy, whereby the dummy, viewed from above, forms a figure substantially resembling an asteroid.
  • the shooting dummy or target described in claim 1 including:
  • said board elements constructed from a material selected from the group consisting of;
  • said board elements constructed from an extruded plastic material 2.' said elements having a profile gated board.
