Benefits of technology

[0007]The object of the present invention is to provide an electronic target device for target shooting and score detecting which has a compact structure and high-sensitivity.
[0009]Moreover, in the configuration of this invention, the dielectric grains are placed between the two conductive layers in order to separate the layers from each other in constant and the intervals between the dielectric grains are suitable for the electrical connecting the contact regions of the layers when ammo or pellets hit the target. The leading wires connecting the contact regions would produce a signal for target shooting or score detecting. This invention provides an electronic target device without the use of the divider structure where ammo or pellets would rebound, so as to enhance the sensitivity and accuracy for target-hit detecting and compact structure.

Problems solved by technology

Furthermore, the sensors couldn't detect the hit on the paper target instantly only until the ammo or pellets drop to the bottom from the funnel 131.
Therefore a time lag between the hit and the scoring is unavoidable.

Embodiment Construction

[0019]As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, an electronic target device of the present invention comprises two dielectric sheets 1, two conductive layers 2, a plurality of leading wires 23, and a plurality of dielectric grains 3.

[0020]FIG. 3 shows an embodiment which is one of the dielectric sheets 1. The conductive layers 2 are formed on one surface of the dielectric sheets 1 and define a plurality of contact regions 21. The conductive layers 2 are made of conductive material and formed on the dielectric sheets 1 by printing, painting, or coating. The contact regions 21 define several concentric circular patterns and several gaps 22 between the contact regions 21 like target rings. The dielectric grains 3 which are made of a dielectric material are distributed over the contact regions 21 by printing, painting, or coating. Each of the dielectric grains 3 has a diameter much smaller than that of ammo or pellet. The thickness of the grains 3 and the intervals between the grains 3 are calcula...

Abstract

A electronic target device comprises two dielectric sheets, two conductive layers formed on one surface of the dielectric sheets and defining a plurality of contact regions, a plurality of leading wires located on the other surfaces of the dielectric sheets and penetrate the dielectric sheets to connect the contact regions respectively, and a plurality of dielectric grains distributed over the contact regions. A target housing which the dielectric sheets are installed therein with a target member and the opposite ends of the leading wires connect to a circuit board which set in the housing for the shooting practice and competition. When ammo or pellets hit on the target member, one of the dielectric sheets abutting the target member is pressed to touch the other dielectric sheet for the conductive layers electrical connecting each other and produce a target-hit signal for transmitting to the circuit board registered and shown accumulated score.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the invention[0002]The present invention relates to a device for target shooting and score detecting. More particularly, the invention is jointed with two conductive layers for electrical connecting to detect the impacts thereon so as to enhance the sensitivity of the target-hit detection.[0003]2. Description of Related Art[0004]For indoor or outdoor practice and competition, an electronic scoring target is provided for the players shooting. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a conventional electronic scoring target 100 comprises a paper target 110, a frame 120 consisting of a plurality of dividers 121, a bowl 130 with several funnels 131, and several sensors (not shown) located at the bottom of the funnel 131 to detect ammo or pellets drop. When the player shoots the electronic scoring target 100 with an air soft gun, ammo or pellets could penetrate through the paper target 110. Then, ammo or pellets would roll along the dividers 121 and drop in...
