Description

Technical field / Events

[0001] The light-point eagle is derived from wooden eagles used at shooting festivals to determine the club's king (shooting clubs). The light-point eagle is suitable for children (children / students under 12 years old) because the light-point sensors are only illuminated (pulsed) by a light source (e.g., a laser rifle). It can be used privately as well as by clubs, at exhibitions, and at public festivals. The light pulse does not endanger people or animals. State of the art and solution

[0002] The light-point eagle has a sensor (light sensor), (photoresistor, photodiode, phototransistor or other photographic components) that is triggered by a light beam, light point, laser or laser pointer. The term "light-point eagle" refers to all representational shapes (eagle, bird, cat, snowman, tree, etc.) used in clubs and private settings that are triggered by light points / light sensors and consequently cause parts to move (fall off) electromechanically. Fig. 1) The basic design of these devices / systems is described below.

[0003] The light (light point) is detected via the light point sensor and switching electronics (light point evaluation electronics) Fig. 2) and forwarded as a pulse to the programmable logic controller (PLC) or other electronic control system ( Fig. 4) In this PLC / controller, the part to be triggered (e.g., the eagle part) and the number of hits are variably set. Each hit is briefly indicated via an LED on the front panel and on the PLC display, as well as on a tablet or smartphone. Once the number of hits is reached, the pressure-loaded part (eagle part) set in the PLC / controller is released from the base plate by a motor (servo) or electromagnet ( Fig. 3) and falls (to the ground). The part is thus shot down.

[0004] The parts are locked again by pressing the part selection button on the PLC, as well as by pressing them against the base plate and pressing the locking button. The laser sight is thus quickly ready for laser firing again.

[0005] The PLC has a Bluetooth interface. The described variable settings can be made directly on the PLC or via a tablet or smartphone. Protection request

[0006] Protection is requested for the overall concept of the light-point eagle, as described in "State of the art and solution", including its form and size (length, width, depth). Fig. 1).

[0007] Protection for the described sensor design with switching electronics has been requested ( Fig. 2).

[0008] Protection for the described bolt locking and release mechanism with eagle-shaped bolts and compression spring is requested ( Fig. 3).

[0009] Protection for the control program (PLC) in its execution and immutability, as well as copy protection, is requested (pages 4 to 11). Light point eagle LPA-2022 base plate with eagle parts, sensor tubes and locking bolts
