TARGET SHOOTING MACHINE

Description

DOMAINE TECHNIQUE

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of target launching machines. It finds a particularly advantageous application in the shooting sports industry, and in particular in clay pigeon shooting. ETAT DE LA TECHNIQUE

[0002] In the target shooting sector, and particularly in the clay pigeon shooting community, customers crave a wide variety of shots. This necessitates that machine manufacturers offer a broad range of possible target trajectories.

[0003] Many existing target launching machines have mobility features that allow for varying the target firing angles. For example, the machine described in patent publication FR 3066813 A1 discloses a target launching machine equipped with a base allowing for two 90° angles of movement, via arc-shaped slides.

[0004] An object of the present invention is therefore to propose a machine base, and a launching machine system equipped with such a base, offering improved mobility of the machine relative to the base.

[0005] The other objects, features, and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from an examination of the following description and accompanying drawings. It is understood that other advantages may be incorporated. RESUME

[0006] To achieve this objective, a clay pigeon shooting target launching system according to claim 1 is provided. This system comprises a target launching machine and a base for this machine. The base comprises: a lower part; an upper part configured to carry a target launching machine, the upper part being mounted with mobility relative to the lower part; an actuator configured to control the mobility of the upper part relative to the lower part.

[0007] According to the invention, the base is such that: the lower part comprises an outer arch; the upper part comprises an inner arch nested within the outer arch; the mobility includes a rotation of the inner arch within the outer arch around a swinging axis.

[0008] Thus, the base features a double-arch configuration, allowing for optimized movement of the upper section relative to the lower section. From one perspective, the optimization aims to achieve a greater angular amplitude, particularly for obtaining extreme trajectories for targets. From another, alternative or cumulative perspective, the optimization relates to a better distribution of the loads applied to the inner arch, specifically to limit the forces that the actuator must apply.

[0009] This approach, for example, can increase the success rate of shooters, attracting a wider clientele than just experienced shooters. Standard targets are disc-shaped with a domed top, and except for trajectories flying directly over the shooter, the target's orientation in flight only exposes its lateral profile to interfere with the shot pattern, adding a certain complexity to the shots. A greater angular range of motion for the machine, made possible here, therefore increases the area that the pellets can hit.

[0010] The arched shape also allows for significant rigidity in a preferred direction by limiting the overall volume of the part equipped with this arch, whether the lower or upper part.

[0011] Furthermore, it allows the inner arch to be nested within the outer arch, preferably forming a relatively homothetic superposition of the two arches, without substantially increasing the height of the base. Overall, the lower part of the inner arch, and preferably a majority of its height, is integrated within the inner volume of the outer arch when it is in the same plane as the outer arch. This shape also allows for the greatest possible range of motion of the inner arch during its rotation.

[0012] The target launch machine is carried by the base.

[0013] Considering the significant weight of the machine, its mounting on such a base advantageously allows for optimized positioning to limit the influence of the displacement of the center of gravity of the moving assembly when the machine is inclined. BREVE DESCRIPTION DES FIGURES

[0017] It is specified that in the context of the present invention, the expression "substantially equal" means a value that is not more or less than 10% away from another value.

[0018] The arched shape offers a concave geometry. The term "nested" refers to the fact that the inner arch is constructed in such a way that it can move within the concavity of the outer arch. Typically, this nesting is such that, when the inner arch is at rest in a vertical plane, it extends broadly parallel to the outer arch, with the profiles of the two arches overlapping. This does not preclude the inner arch from extending beyond the outer arch, particularly above the axis of rotation. In other words, when the two arches are in the same plane and close together, the inner arch fits within the concave space defined by the outer arch above it, with the concave profiles of both arches oriented in the same direction.

[0019] The invention presented herein comprises a machine 5 configured for launching targets 6. These targets may be clay pigeon type, which have a circular, flat-shaped cross-section and are generally used for clay pigeon shooting. This application is not limiting. In particular, targets made of polymer material for archery at moving targets are another possible application.

[0020] Overall, a machine 5 of common design can be implemented and reported on the basis described in detail later in the description. Typically, the machine 5 includes a launching section 51. In this section, a target ready for launch is generally arranged on a launching platform 511 to be projected by a rotating, movable arm 512 controlled by a motorized arming and triggering system.

[0021] To allow for repeated shooting practice, it is generally known to combine a cylinder 52 with the launching section 51. As reflected in the figures 1 And 2 , the barrel 52 is positioned above the launch part 51 and it has means for successively delivering at least one target 6 thus released, in the direction of the launch plane 511.

[0022] The turret 52 typically comprises a plurality of columns in each of which the targets 6 can be stacked. This typically allows for the storage of several dozen targets 6. It is easy to understand that the weight of the machine 5 is considerable, especially when many targets are stored. For example, the weight of an empty machine 5 can be 70 kg and the maximum target load 30 kg. The base on which the machine 5 rests must therefore be able to support such a weight, and this in different machine positions, to allow for different firing directions. In particular, this can include highly inclined positions of the machine relative to the base, as can be seen, for example, on the figures 11 And 12 .

[0023] As can be seen in particular in the way the figures 1 And 2The base presented here comprises, from a support plane 21 typically corresponding to the ground, a support 2 carrying an outer arch 1. This assembly typically belongs to a lower part of the base. It is surmounted by an inner arch 3 mounted movably relative to the outer arch 1. The inner arch 3 itself supports a plinth 4 at the level of which the machine 5 is received. Typically, the inner arch 3 and the plinth 4 belong to an upper part of the base, which is thus movable relative to the lower part.

[0024] At the very least, there is therefore a relative rotational mobility between arches 1 and 3. figures 1 And 2They show an actuator 35 for controlling this mobility. They also reveal a primary actuator 15 for controlling relative mobility between the support 2 and the outer arch 1, as well as a secondary actuator 45 for controlling relative mobility between the inner arch 3 and the base 4. Although not essential to the implementation of the invention, the primary and secondary actuators and the movements they enable give the base a greater variety of configurations to allow for very diverse positions of the launching machine 5.

[0025] Depending on one possibility, at least one of the actuators 15, 35, 45 is a cylinder, and preferably an electric cylinder. In particular, at least one of these cylinders can be controlled via a control interface such as a remote control, and / or via a programmable device ensuring random or non-random position variations.

[0026] With reference to the figure 3 Illustrating the isolated base of machine 5, we can first note an example of the construction of the outer arch 1. This arch can be made from a profile, either a single piece or an assembly of several elementary profiles. In the example shown, the cross-section of the outer arch is rectangular, more precisely square.

[0027] In this example, the outer arch 1 has a first branch 11 forming part of its length, and a second branch 12 forming another part of its length, the two branches being opposite each other. Also in this example, and by way of example only, the branches 11 and 12 are fixedly connected by a connecting block 13 typically located at the midpoint of the outer arch 1. As will be seen later, the block 13 also preferentially allows for a connection to the support 2.

[0028] As an example, the length of the inner arch projected onto the support plane 21 can be greater than or equal to 80 cm and / or less than or equal to 150 cm.

[0029] Preferably, the first branch 11 and the second branch 12 are symmetrical with respect to a plane passing through the midpoint of the length of the outer arch 1 and directed along the cross-section of the branches. It will be seen that this plane can include an axis of rotation 14 of the arch 1 with respect to the support 2.

[0030] Preferably, the outer arch 1 also exhibits symmetry along a plane 17 illustrated in the figure 3 and extending vertically, cutting arch 1 in the middle of its width.

[0031] Preferably, arms 11 and 12 and block 13 are made of a metallic material or material-based material, such as steel. The arched profile configuration of the arms allows the use of hollow elements, thus limiting the weight of arch 1. At the same time, satisfactory rigidity is achieved.

[0032] The outer arch 1 defines, between these two distal ends 111,121, an upward-oriented concavity forming a clearance space for the upper part, and in particular for the inner arch 3.

[0033] This movement is permitted around a swing axis 34, schematically represented in the figure 4 Typically, the axis 34 is horizontal in its usual operating position; at the very least, it is advantageously parallel to the ground, i.e., to the support plane 21. The swinging motion is produced by the articulation of the inner arch 3 relative to the outer arch 1 at the two distal ends of these arches. In particular, one end 311 of the inner arch 3 is connected to one end 111 of the outer arch 1 by a pivot joint, which can be represented by a shaft 341. On the opposite side, another end 321 of the inner arch 3 is connected to another end 121 of the outer arch 1 by another pivot joint, which can be represented by a shaft 342.

[0034] Reference can be made to the description of the outer arch 1 for examples of possible construction details for the inner arch 3; in particular for the choice of materials, geometry, and construction in the form of profiles. Specifically, the arch 3 may comprise a first arm 31 and a second arm 32 fixedly connected by means of a junction block 33 advantageously located in the center of the inner arch 3 and opposite the junction block 13 in the situation of the figure 3 .

[0035] The length, projected onto plane 21, of the inner arch 3 is less than that of the outer arch 1, so that the arms of the outer arch 1 frame the arms of the inner arch 3. In a vertical direction, the inner arch 3 extends mostly, if not entirely, between these two extremities, so that it lies within the concavity of the outer arch 1 when viewed in plane 17, as can be seen from the figure 3 In this situation, the concavity of the inner arch 3 is directed in the same direction as that of the outer arch 1, meaning that the two arches are nested. Following the possibility illustrated in the figure 3 , it should be noted that a basal part of each of the arches, at the level of the junction blocks, is straight, so that the two arches are parallel at this level in a direction parallel to axis 34.

[0036] As previously stated, the rotation around the axis 34 is carried out by an actuator 35.

[0037] THE figures 3 And 4 allow visualization of this control by a movement of the rod 352 of this actuator 35 relative to its body 351. In the illustrated case, one end of the actuator 35 is mounted on the outer arch 3, here by means of a mounting piece 36 fixed to the arch 3. The opposite end of the actuator is mounted on the inner arch 1, and, in this example, by means of a lever arm 353. While the rod 352 is retracted in the case of the figure 3 , it is at least partially deployed in the case of the figure 4 so as to induce a rotation of the inner arch 3 following the movement of the arrow of the figure 4 .

[0038] This arrangement allows a degree of freedom between the lower and upper parts of the base, to vary the machine's inclination along direction 34. For example, the figure 11 and the figure 12 They give two examples of the result produced by this inclination, examples in which arch 3 presents a non-zero angle relative to arch 1. The inclination that can be reproduced is not limited, but can very well cover a range of up to 80° around the vertical position presented to the figure 3 .

[0039] To drive the machine 5 into this inclination, the base includes a plinth 4 supported by the inner arch 3. As shown in the figure 4 In particular, the base 4 may have a platform 41 supported by the junction block 33 and an upright 42 projecting from the upper surface of the platform 41, the machine being advantageously fixed to the upright 42, notably by screwing. Preferably, a pivot 43 allows adjustment of the inclination between the upright 42 and the platform 41, thus offering additional adjustment for the orientation of the machine 5.

[0040] Preferably, the base 4 is mounted to rotate on the inner arch 3, around an axis 44 visible at the figure 5 This rotation is further controlled by the actuator 45. One end of the actuator 45 is mounted on the inner arch 3, as is the case for the body 451 of the actuator 45 in the figures, while the other end of the actuator 45 is mounted on the base 4, as is the case for the rod 452 in the figures. It is understood that a translational movement of the rod 452 allows the angular position of the base 4 relative to the inner arch 3 to be changed. This is revealed by the positional variations visible in particular on the figures 4, 5 And 6 and the arrows illustrating the rotation to figures 5 And 6 .

[0041] According to an advantageous option, the actuator 45 can be mounted on the base 4 at different locations on the plate 41 corresponding to the anchor point 47 referenced to figures 5 And 6For example, by simple screwing and unscrewing operations, the angular sector of rotational movement of the base 4 relative to the inner arch 3 can be modified, even with a limited actuator stroke 45. For example, if the stroke is configured to produce a 90° movement, positioning four anchor points 47 spaced 90° apart on the plate 41 allows for 360° movement of the base 4 relative to the inner arch 3.

[0042] To guide this rotation, a pivot is preferably positioned in the center of the plate 41 opposite the junction block 33.

[0043] There figure 7 presents an example of orienting a machine 5 using the base of the invention. The arrow visible therein shows, in particular, that it is possible to project a target 6 by the arm 512 at a very steep downward angle, the launching plate 511 being very steeply inclined in this case. With the same inclination of the inner arch 3, the figure 8 shows a very different orientation from the firing direction by an arrow pointing strongly upwards, the base 4 having been rotated by the actuator 45 relative to the position of the figure 7 To give another example, the figure 9 shows by an arrow another firing direction with another orientation of the base 4 produced by the actuator 45 possibly with the use of a modification of the anchoring point of the latter.

[0044] There figure 10 Figure 1 illustrates another optional movement capability between the support 2 and the outer arch 1. As mentioned previously, rotational mobility is advantageously permitted between these two parts around an axis 14. For this purpose, a pivot joint is provided between the support and the connecting block 13, and the actuator 15 controls the rotation. As before, one end of the actuator 15, here that of the body 151 of the actuator 15, is mounted on the outer arch 1, here by means of a mounting piece 16, while the other end, here that of the rod 152, is mounted on the support 2. The resulting movement is illustrated by the arrow in figure 10 .

[0045] For example, an angular deflection of approximately 90° can be allowed.

[0046] In the case of the various figures, the support 2 comprises a plurality of feet 23 extending from a central zone 24 to legs 22 configured to form a bearing surface of the support 2 on the support plane 21, these numerical references being visible in figure 11 .

[0047] Preferably, a flat support is formed between the legs 22 and the plane 21. The feet 23 preferably have an inclination between 20° and 60° relative to the support plane 21. Preferably, the central zone 24 extends along a plane parallel to the support plane 21.

[0048] Also advantageously, axis 14 is perpendicular to support plane 21. And plane 17 of the outer arch preferably includes axis 14. The lower part of the base is thus centered in its movement with respect to support 2.

[0049] There figure 11 It also shows that the base allows for optimizing the relative position of machine 5 and the base to reduce the forces involved. In particular, axis 34 can be judiciously placed at an intermediate height level of machine 5 so as to distribute the weight of the latter around axis 34, creating a pendulum effect.

[0050] For example, one can consider a configuration of the machine and the upper part of the base corresponding to a maximum load, that is, when the cylinder 52 is completely filled with targets 6. This maximum load configuration adds the fixed weight of the machine and the upper part, for example, a total of approximately 70 kg, and that of a full load of targets, for example, approximately 30 kg, corresponding to a maximum load of 100 kg. Conversely, a minimum load configuration corresponds to a situation in which the cylinder is empty of targets, equivalent, for example, to a total load of 70 kg.

[0051] It is understood that the position of the center of gravity of this assembly changes when the machine is inclined. Consequently, the moment of force exerted by its weight on the lower part of the base also varies, moving from a minimum value around a position in which the inner arch 3 is directed in plane 17 to a maximum value when the inner arch 3 is in a position of extreme inclination, for example in the case of the figure 11 .

[0052] In addition to placing the axis 34 at an intermediate position according to the height of the machine, which is permitted by the inner arch 3 whose concavity allows to receive a lower portion of said machine, the position of the axis 34 can also be refined so as to avoid too great a variation of the torque caused by the weight of the assembly between the maximum load and minimum load configurations.

[0053] To this end, we seek to maintain the same ratio between the weight of the assembly and the distance between a vertical axis G3y passing through axis 34 and a vertical axis G2y and G1y passing through the center of gravity of the assembly, respectively in the maximum load configuration and in the minimum load configuration.

[0054] In the example of a maximum load of 100 kg and a minimum load of 70 kg, the figure 11 shows a determination of a distance between G3y and the two directions G1y and G2y such that: [G1yG3y]*70 = [G2yG3y]*100.

[0055] Following a more approximate option, we can simply place the 34 axis at least between the G2y and G3y directions.

[0056] Furthermore, it can be arranged so that the projection onto the support plane 21 of the direction G2y (the vertical direction passing through the center of gravity of the assembly formed by the machine at the top of the base in its maximum load configuration) is always inscribed within the surface of the central zone 24 of the support 2. This cleverly dimensioned zone 24 ensures good stability, since the machine's imbalance is never too eccentric, thus preventing it from tipping over. The footprint of the support 2 can therefore be optimally sized, and surprisingly, it can be relatively small thanks to the invention and the optimization of the placement of the center of gravity of the moving elements relative to the lower part of the base.

[0057] There figure 12 also reflects this arrangement, with the center of gravity Gt of the assembly in maximum load configuration, and the direction G2y which remains inscribed in the surface of the central zone 24.

[0058] There figure 12 shows another option of the invention in the form of a counterweight 37. Indeed, the maximum load of the assembly supported by the lower part of the base can vary, either with changes in the load of the drum 52, or depending on the type of machine that can be supported by the base. Machines do not all have the same weight. The counterweight 37 can be fitted to the assembly supported by the arch 1 and, in particular, it can be mounted on the inner arch 3. According to the example of the figure 12 , the counterweight 37 is fixed to the junction block 33. Preferably, to achieve a pendulum effect with respect to the upper part of the machine 5, the counterweight 37 is located at the lower portion of the inner arch 3.

[0059] As an additional option, the counterweight's height is adjustable, allowing its influence on the overall load produced by the assembly supported by the base to be varied in terms of torque. Alternatively, the counterweight can be mounted on the base in a removable manner, so that it can be used only when necessary and / or so that a counterweight with the most suitable mass can be mounted for the situation.

[0060] The invention is not limited to the embodiments previously described. DIGITAL REFERENCES
