1 / 4 CONSTRUCTIVE ARRANGEMENT APPLIED TO A RETURNABLE TARGET Technological sector of the Utility Model

[001] The present invention is situated in the field of equipment intended for the practice of sport shooting, specifically related to a target with a spring-loaded returnable plate. The equipment is designed to allow precision training in controlled environments, and can be fixed to concrete or anchored directly into the ground. State of the art

[002] The practice of sport shooting is an activity that demands precision, concentration, and skill, and is widely practiced in competitions that assess the athletes' ability to hit targets with varying degrees of difficulty. In these competitions, the targets are usually made of metal or paper plates, which, when hit, fall to the ground, marking the impact of the shot. Although this system is efficient for competitions, it presents significant limitations for regular training, as it requires the constant replacement of targets after each shot. This process not only interrupts the training rhythm but also demands more time and effort from the operators, in addition to increasing the wear and tear on the materials used.For continuous and repetitive training, this feature becomes impractical, highlighting the need for more practical solutions, such as targets that can automatically return to their initial position, ensuring greater efficiency and resource savings during sports practice. Utility Model Updates

[003] The use of a target with a spring-loaded returnable plate provides significant functional improvements for target shooting practice, especially in training environments. This system eliminates the need for manual target replacement after each shot, allowing the plate to automatically return to its initial position, optimizing practice time and ensuring greater fluidity in training sessions. Furthermore, the possibility of fixing it to both concrete and the ground offers installation flexibility, allowing its Petition 870250005537, dated 01 / 23 / 2025, page 5 / 17 2 / 4 use in different locations and conditions. Height adjustment is another essential feature, as it allows for customization of the equipment to meet the specific needs of each practitioner, varying shooting conditions and simulating different competition scenarios. The impact absorber, in turn, reduces component wear, extending the equipment's lifespan and improving its durability, while minimizing vibration and noise, contributing to a more comfortable and efficient training environment. These characteristics make the target with a returnable plate a practical, robust, and highly functional solution for sport shooting training.

[004] In another modality, it is possible to include a deflector for lead fragments in the equipment, which is a solution that increases safety during sport shooting practice. This component is designed to contain and redirect the fragments generated by the impact of shots, protecting the surroundings and practitioners from possible risks. In addition, the deflector contributes to the preservation of the equipment, reducing wear caused by fragments and increasing the durability of the components. Its implementation is especially relevant in training environments, where there are repetitive and frequent shots. Description of the attached drawings

[005] In order for the present invention to be fully understood and put into practice by any technician in this technological sector, it will be described in a clear, concise and sufficient manner, based on the attached drawings, which illustrate and support it, listed below: Figure 1 represents the rear perspective view of the target; Figure 2 represents a rear perspective view of the target, highlighting the plate return mechanism; Figure 3 represents the rear perspective view of the target in a second configuration, with a deflector for shrapnel. Detailed description of the Utility Model

[006] The target consists of a base (1) with a curved shape that provides stability to the equipment, provided with support feet (2) which are fixing points. Petition 870250005537, dated 01 / 23 / 2025, p. 6 / 17 3 / 4 to keep the equipment stable on the ground, central support arm (3) that connects the base (1) to the vertical column (5), having a height regulator (4) to level the equipment on uneven surfaces or at a given angle; the vertical column (5) is the main support that holds the upper structure (6) formed by a horizontal arm where the moving components and the returnable plate (12) are fixed, being mounted together with the support (7) and the front plate (8); on the support (7) is mounted a threaded spindle (10) used with nut and lock nut (13) that is fixed to the springs (11), and has superimposed an impact damper (9) that serves as a stop for the returnable plate (12);The springs (11) are connected to the bottom of the returnable plate (12) in holes (14) allowing it to return to its initial position when shot during practice, the plate (12) being fixed by fastening elements (17) to a tilting support (19) that moves on an axis (16) positioned with a member (18) placed in a hole, the support (19) being associated with the tabs (15) of the front plate (8), the said plate (8) being at an angle between 15 and 25° for deflection of the projectile always downwards, that is, if the shot hits the plate there is no risk of the projectile being directed upwards.

[007] In one constructive option, there is a protective structure (20) placed around the target and the upper components, which protects against lead fragments.

[008] The plate (12) is represented in circular format, however it may have other geometric shapes as well as animals and other objects.

[009] For adjustment, turn the outer nut (13) clockwise until the spindle (10) is tight, as the inner nut will determine the return pressure of the plate (12). After finding the appropriate setting, the assembly will be ready for training.

[010] It is important to emphasize that the figures and descriptions provided do not limit the ways in which the inventive concept proposed herein can be implemented, but rather illustrate and make understandable the conceptual innovations revealed in this solution. Therefore, the descriptions and images should be interpreted in a way... Petition 870250005537, dated 01 / 23 / 2025, page 7 / 17 4 / 4 is illustrative and not limiting; other equivalent or analogous forms of implementation of the inventive concept now disclosed may exist, provided they do not fall outside the scope of protection outlined in the proposed solution.
