Benefits of technology

[0022]The process and the device according to the invention present many advantages and, in particular, they contribute efficiently to mastering the shot. They solicit the sense of sight and / or the sense of hearing in addition to the tactile sense. Thus, the process involves several senses, both simultaneous and proportional.

Problems solved by technology

Otherwise, the “finger blow” happens and leads to failure.

first embodiment

[0032]We are now going to describe a device for implementing the invention, in reference to FIG. 1.

[0033]According to this embodiment, the conversion of the pressure exercised on the trigger 11 of any firearm (not represented) into electric signals is realized by a hydraulic system.

[0034]An elastic pressure-receiving capsule 1 is glued on a glove finger placed over the marksman's forefinger (not represented) or fixed to the trigger 11. The liquid-filled capsule is submitted to the pressure exercised by the marksman. A fine, ductile but not elastic tube 2 transmits this pressure, thanks to the liquid, to a manometer 4 which, by the deformation of its flattened tube, acts on the cursor hand 8 of a rheostat 5. In a classical manner there is a purge 3. An electric current source 6 (a cell or rechargeable battery can be used here as well) feeds a serial circuit comprising the rheostat 5 and a receiver organ 7, including an entry resistance. Depending on the pressure exercised by the mark...

second embodiment

[0035]a device for actuating the invention will now be described referring to FIG. 2.

[0036]According to this embodiment, the conversion of the pressure exercised on the trigger 11 of a firearm (not represented) is realized by a mechanical system mounted on the mechanism of this firearm.

[0037]The device includes a rheostat 5. The rheostat 5 is driven by a system of rack 18 and gears 19. The rack 18 consists of a toothed partial crown situated in the prolongation of the trigger. It rotates around a fixed axis 16. It is pushed back, at the end near the toothed crown, by a spring 17, and pulled, at its other end 9, by the trigger 11. The latter, rotating around a fixed axis 15, is in turn pushed back by a spring organ. It is precisely this spring organ which creates the pressure to be mastered. The gears (e.g., the number of necessary gears and the number of teeth of each gear) are calculated in such a way that the stroke of the rack 18 corresponds to that of the rheostat 5. As before, ...

third embodiment

[0038]a device for actuating the invention will be described referring to FIG. 3.

[0039]According to this embodiment, the conversion of the pressure exercised on the trigger 11 of a firearm is realized by using a piezoelectric pressure sensor or a similar sensor (quartz, ceramic, etc.).

[0040]The pressure sensor 38 is:[0041]placed on the trigger, in a housing out of which it protrudes in order to be in contact with the marksman's finger (not represented) on the simulation firearm, as disclosed in FIG. 3;[0042]clipped by its support in plastic material shaped in mortise profile and adapted to the profile of the trigger and constituting its tenon; or[0043]placed on a glove or a glove finger, in such a way that it is positioned between the finger and the trigger (on a real firearm).

[0044]The sensor 38 is connected to an electronic amplifier. The latter amplifies the signal and, if necessary, adapts it for further usage (impedance adaption, percolation, etc.). The amplifier is housed in a...

Abstract

For training the tactile perception of a marksman, in particular of a sport marksman, during the firing of a shot in which the marksman exercising a pressure on a trigger of a real or simulation firearm which triggers the shot when it crosses a predetermined threshold, a training process comprises (i) measuring the pressure exercised on said trigger by a finger of said marksman, (ii) converting said measured pressure into electric signals representing an instantaneous amplitude of a pressure vector, and (iii) transforming in real time said electric signals into signals perceptible by a sense of the marksman other than the tactile sense, so that the marksman can in real time follow the variation of the pressure exercised on said trigger until the departure of said shot in simultaneity and in synchronism with the tactile perception perceived by said finger. A training device for implementing this process is also provided.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The invention concerns a process for training the tactile perception of a marksman.[0002]It also concerns a device for the actuation of this process.[0003]The invention more particularly concerns the branch of sport shooting where success depends to a great extent on mastering the pressure of the finger on the trigger.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0004]Two fundamental parameters characterize the technique:[0005]a / being “opposite” the target;[0006]b / holding the firearm in a stable way at the moment of departure of the shot.[0007]In order to master the departure of the shot, the marksman must be able to maintain and control the pressure of his forefinger on the trigger at the nearest possible value to that of the departure of the shot, in such a way as to reach it and to cross the threshold without disturbing the immobility of the firearm. Otherwise, the “finger blow” happens and leads to failure. The tactile sense allows the marksman to evaluate the value ...
