CZ31700U1 - A 3D shooting target - Google Patents

Description

Technical field

The technical solution relates to a 3D shooting target, which is intended for training in real shooting and improving the quality of shooting training of police, military and civilian components for training defensive shooting at a real target.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Different types of targets are currently used for real shooting practice. For example, there are paper targets on a solid backing material, possibly with a life-size human figure depicted in which the impact results in a rupture / hole formed.

The disadvantage of these known targets is that they do not create a realistic impression, so that the psychological aspect of the training is not taken into account when shooting practice, and moreover, these targets must be at least partially replaced after each shooting.

The essence of the technical solution

Disadvantages of the prior art are eliminated by a 3D target which comprises a target dummy in the shape of at least part of the human body, wherein the target dummy is made of an elastomer at least on the shooting side and covered with a coating.

Preferably, the target dummy is in the shape of a head, neck and torso with at least portions of the upper limbs.

It is also advantageous if the target manikin is formed, at least on the shot side, of an elastomer having a hardness of preferably 40 to 50 shore and / or a tensile strength of 6 to 8 MPa and / or exhibits a relative elongation of 1600% to 2000% until rupture.

The elastomer is preferably a polyurethane elastomer.

It is further preferred that the 3D shooting target comprises a stand on which the target dummy is set up.

Advantageously, the stand comprises a web that is fixed at its lower end to the stabilizing assembly and its upper end to the support member for receiving the target dummy.

For example, the stabilizing assembly may comprise a pair of stabilizing members arranged in one plane and connected to each other by an interconnecting member, and / or the support member is mounted horizontally on the web. The support member can be provided with fastening darkness on its upper side on which the target dummy can be attached.

Alternatively, a reinforcing structure is embedded or embedded in the target dummy.

For example, at least two tubes are embedded or embedded in the target dummy for mounting on the stand darkness.

In a particularly preferred embodiment, the elastomer and the coating have contrasting colors, preferably the elastomer is black or red and the coating is white or beige.

Preferably, the coating is an acrylic paint, in particular an acrylic paint with organic solvents, which is applied by spraying.

Further specific preferred embodiments are described in the description of exemplary embodiments.

Clarification of drawings

An exemplary embodiment of a shooting target according to the present invention is schematically shown in the drawings, wherein Fig. 1 is a view of the target of the shooting target, Fig. 2 shows a side view of the target dummy, and Fig. 3 shows a front view of the target dummy. of FIG.

Examples of technical solutions

The illustrated embodiment of the 3D shooting target according to this technical solution comprises both a stand and a target dummy.

The stand of FIG. 1 comprises a web 1, which in this embodiment is height adjustable. The web 1 is fixed to a base comprising a pair of stabilizing members 2 which are spaced apart from one another and connected to each other by an interconnecting member 3. A horizontal support member 4 is provided on the web 1 with a pair of fastening pins 5 for receiving a target dummy.

The stand can be made, for example, of metal, wood, plastic or composite or a combination thereof.

The target dummy of Figures 2 and 3 comprises a human torso model 10 with a neck 11 and head 12 and partial upper limbs 13. The figures in Figures 2 and 3 are schematic, the target dummy preferably having the most realistic shape, especially the most realistic appearance adult male, containing the body (visible chest and abdomen, shoulders), neck and head.

Preferably, the connection of the fuselage 10 to the head 11 is strengthened by the reinforcement 14.

The target dummy is formed of an elastomer, preferably a polyurethane elastomer.

The hardness of the target dummy material is preferably 35-55 Shore, more preferably 40-50 Shore, and the tensile strength is preferably 6 to 8 MPa, more preferably 6.5 to 7.5 MPa. The target dummy material is preferably ductile, in a particularly preferred embodiment it has a ductility expressed as an elongation of 1600% to 2000% up to rupture (DIN 53504-S2).

A particularly suitable material is, for example, Gaform E45 from Davex Chemical s.r.o. or RECKLI PUR elastomer A45 from Said GmbH.

The surface of the dummy is coated at least on the shot side, for example with an acrylic paint spray. In a particularly preferred embodiment, it is an acrylic paint with organic solvents that is sprayed with a propellant. For example, it may be a spray paint containing 10 to 25 wt. % n-butyl acetate, 10 to 25 wt. % acetone, 2.5 to 5 wt. % isobutyl (methyl) ketone, 2.5 to 5 wt. % Of 2-methoxy-1-methylethyl acetate and 2.5 to 5 wt. % xylene; and a propellant gas mixture of 10 to 25 wt. % propane and 10 to 25 wt. butane.

The shooting side is the side to which the 3D target is aimed. The coating preferably has a thickness in the range of 20 to 500 µm.

Preferably, the dummy material has a different color to the coating material. It is particularly preferred that the dummy material has a contrasting color to the coating material.

-2GB 31700 U1

For example, the dummy material may be black and the coating material may be white. For a particularly realistic impression, the dummy material may be colored red and the coating of the material may be beige. Alternatively, a black color of the manikin material and a phosphorescent coating may be used. In yet another embodiment, particularly suitable for forensic research, the dummy may be formed from a clear material.

When the manikin hits the missile, a part of the coating is peeled off locally, the bullet then passes through the material leaving only a canal with a diameter substantially corresponding to the caliber of the weapon, for example 1 mm in diameter. If it is a larger shotgun projectile or a 223 Remington caliber, a larger crack may also be formed. Shotguns that use light shotguns usually leave shotguns in the target / dummy.

As a result of peeling off a portion of the coating at the point of penetration of the missile into the dummy, the base material of the dummy is exposed. This will make the point of penetration of the missile into the dummy significantly visible, which will greatly facilitate the evaluation of the hit. Subsequently, the damaged area is re-sprayed with paint and the target can be reused for further training. This is continued until the target is completely deformed.

The resistance of the described 3D shooting target in Gaform E45 with a male torso head and a total mass of 13 kg manikin is approximately 20,000 missiles, but it also depends on which ammunition is used and whether the hits are aimed at only one location.

The manikin is made by molding, and in a particularly preferred embodiment, at least two tubes are cast into the manikin which extend parallel to each other, the ends of which are adapted to be mounted on the fixing darkness of the stand. Alternatively, the fastening darkness 5 is replaced by tubes, at least two rods are embedded in the dummy that protrude from the dummy and can be inserted into tubes mounted on the rack.

Although a particularly advantageous exemplary embodiment and a number of possible modifications and changes thereof have been described, it is obvious that one skilled in the art will easily find other possible alternatives to these embodiments. Therefore, the scope of protection is not limited to these exemplary embodiments, but rather is given by the definition of the enclosed protection claims.
