L'invention tend à résoudre tous les problèmes liés aux différences de format dans l'utilisation d'un lanceur automatique.The invention aims to solve all the problems associated with format differences in the use of an automatic launcher.

Actuellement, il existe principalement deux types de plateaux ou pigeons d'argile. Le plateau français ou européen, qui a un diamètre de 110 mm, et le plateau américain, qui a un diamètre de 107,5 mm. Les autres formes et dimensions sont assez voisines, seule cette différence de diamètre pose des problèmes pour utiliser un même lanceur.Currently, there are mainly two types of trays or clay pigeons. The French or European plateau, which has a diameter of 110 mm, and the American plateau, which has a diameter of 107.5 mm. The other shapes and dimensions are quite similar, only this difference in diameter poses problems for using the same launcher.

L'invention vise donc à créer un appareil de lancement unique qui puisse rapidement être adapté pour lancer des plateaux américains ou européens.The invention therefore aims to create a single launch device which can quickly be adapted to launch American or European platforms.

L'appareil selon l'invention permet également de stocker plus de plateaux en utilisant, au niveau du barillet d'alimentation en plateaux, dix colonnes de chargement de plateaux ou de cibles. Le chargement des plateaux ou cibles s'effectue de manière frontale en écartant simplement les tiges du barillet.The device according to the invention also makes it possible to store more trays by using, at the level of the tray supply barrel, ten columns for loading trays or targets. The loading of the plates or targets is carried out in a frontal way by simply drawing aside the rods of the barrel.

L'appareil selon l'invention permet également d'adapter très rapidement le lanceur à des plateaux de diamètre différent, par exemple pour une utilisation du lanceur aux Etats-Unis ou en Europe.The device according to the invention also makes it possible to very quickly adapt the launcher to trays of different diameter, for example for use of the launcher in the United States or in Europe.

A cet effet, l'appareil pour le lancement de pigeons d'argile ou cibles mobiles pour le tir sportif est du type utilisant un barillet rotatif sur lequel sont chargées les cibles mobiles, les cibles mobiles sont superposées les unes sur les autres, en colonnes maintenues par des tubes ou rouleaux verticaux disposés entre un plateau supérieur alésé ou des bras rayonnants pour le passage des cibles mobiles et un plateau inférieur alésé pour le passage des cibles mobiles qui tombent sur un plateau de base fixe en rotation, qui présente chaque cible mobile sur une rampe de lancement devant le bras de lancement ou d'éjection, un ou plusieurs moteurs assurant la rotation du barillet rotatif et le mouvement du bras d'éjection, caractérisé par le fait

  • que le chargement des cibles mobiles s'effectue de manière frontale par écartement des extrémités supérieures des tubes verticaux, dont les moyens de fixation escamotables autorisent un dégagement du plateau supérieur,
  • que par rotation des extrémités des tubes ou rouleaux verticaux sur leur insert de fixation, il est possible de faire varier la distance entre deux tubes adjacents pour adapter la colonne de cibles mobiles en fonction du diamètre utilisé,
  • qu'au niveau de l'échappement des cibles mobiles sur le plateau de base, une came à galets agit pour maintenir en place l'avant-dernière cible mobile et laisser tomber par gravité la dernière cible de la colonne sur le plateau de base, puis sur la rampe de lancement, ladite came à galets comportant des moyens de réglage pour être adaptée en fonction du diamètre des cibles utilisées.
For this purpose, the apparatus for launching clay pigeons or mobile targets for sport shooting is of the type using a rotary barrel on which the mobile targets are loaded, the mobile targets are superimposed on each other, in columns held by vertical tubes or rollers arranged between a bored upper plate or radiating arms for the passage of moving targets and a bored lower plate for the passage of moving targets which fall on a fixed base in rotation, which presents each moving target on one launching ramp in front of the launching or ejection arm, one or more motors ensuring the rotation of the rotary barrel and the movement of the ejection arm, characterized by the fact
  • that the loading of the moving targets is carried out frontally by spacing the upper ends of the vertical tubes, the retractable fixing means of which allow the upper plate to be released,
  • that by rotating the ends of the vertical tubes or rollers on their fixing insert, it is possible to vary the distance between two adjacent tubes to adapt the column of moving targets depending on the diameter used,
  • that at the exhaust of the moving targets on the base plate, a roller cam acts to hold the penultimate mobile target in place and let the last target of the column fall by gravity onto the base plate, then on the launching ramp, said roller cam comprising adjustment means to be adapted as a function of the diameter of the targets used.

Les tubes verticaux sont pourvus, au niveau de leur extrémité supérieure, d'un centreur escamotable monté coaxialement à un ressort de rappel. Le centreur est monté coaxialement à l'axe longitudinal du tube vertical. Le centreur vient se loger dans un orifice prévu à cet effet dans le plateau supérieur du barillet rotatif. L'orifice comporte deux encoches ou trous oblongs latéraux qui autorisent, après escamotage du centreur, le dégagement du tube de la verticale.The vertical tubes are provided, at their upper end, with a retractable centralizer mounted coaxially with a return spring. The centering device is mounted coaxially to the longitudinal axis of the vertical tube. The centralizer is housed in a hole provided for this purpose in the upper plate of the rotating barrel. The orifice has two notches or lateral oblong holes which allow, after retraction of the centralizer, the release of the tube from the vertical.

Les tubes verticaux comportent, au niveau de leur surface, des rainures de formes et de tailles différentes, adaptées aux différents diamètres utilisés pour des cibles mobiles et, au niveau de leur extrémité inférieure, un logement pour un insert de maintien solidaire du plateau inférieur, après démontage du centreur du tube ou rouleau vertical, une rotation du tube sur l'insert permet de choisir la rainure qui sera en contact avec la cible.The vertical tubes have, at their surface, grooves of different shapes and sizes, adapted to the different diameters used for moving targets and, at their lower end, a housing for a holding insert secured to the lower plate, after dismantling the centralizer of the tube or vertical roller, a rotation of the tube on the insert allows to choose the groove which will be in contact with the target.

L'insert a une forme pentagonale mâle, le logement du tube a une forme pentagonale femelle.The insert has a male pentagonal shape, the housing of the tube has a female pentagonal shape.

La came à galets est disposée au niveau de la périphérie du plateau de base fixe en rotation, là où le barillet libère une à une les cibles mobiles.The roller cam is arranged at the periphery of the base plate fixed in rotation, where the barrel releases the moving targets one by one.

Ladite came a une forme de haricot. A une extrémité, la came est articulée en rotation dans un plan horizontal, autour d'un axe, qui peut être disposé dans plusieurs points de positionnement sur le plateau de base et, ce, en fonction du diamètre de la cible utilisé, l'autre extrémité est articulée à un bras de contact qui presse ladite came vers l'extérieur du plateau de base, contre les cibles, ledit bras de contact agit au moyen de ressorts et sa pression sur la came est réglable. La partie convexe de la came est pourvue de galets qui sont en contact avec les cibles qui passent.Said cam has a bean shape. At one end, the cam is articulated in rotation in a horizontal plane, around an axis, which can be arranged in several positioning points on the base plate and, depending on the diameter of the target used, the the other end is articulated to a contact arm which presses said cam outwards from the base plate, against the targets, said contact arm acts by means of springs and its pressure on the cam is adjustable. The convex part of the cam is provided with rollers which are in contact with the passing targets.

En plus des diamètres qui sont différents selon certains types de cibles, l'épaisseur peut également être différente.In addition to the diameters which are different according to certain types of targets, the thickness can also be different.

A cet effet, la rampe de lancement peut recevoir un moyen faisant office de cale qui compense la différence d'épaisseur entre la cible classique et les autres cibles.To this end, the launching ramp can receive a means acting as a wedge which compensates for the difference in thickness between the conventional target and the other targets.

Dans la figure 1, l'appareil pour le lancement de pigeons d'argile ou cibles mobiles 1 pour le tir sportif est du type utilisant un barillet 2 rotatif sur lequel sont chargées les cibles mobiles 1.In FIG. 1, the apparatus for launching clay pigeons or mobile targets 1 for sport shooting is of the type using a rotary barrel 2 on which the mobile targets 1 are loaded.

Les cibles mobiles 1 sont superposées les unes sur les autres en colonnes 3, 4, maintenues par des tubes ou des rouleaux verticaux 5.The moving targets 1 are superimposed on each other in columns 3, 4, held by tubes or vertical rollers 5.

Dans le mode de réalisation représenté à la figure 1, il y a dix tubes ou rouleaux verticaux 5.In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, there are ten vertical tubes or rollers 5.

Ces rouleaux verticaux 5 sont disposés entre un plateau supérieur 6 de maintien des rouleaux 5 et un plateau inférieur 7 de maintien des rouleaux 5. Le plateau supérieur 6 comporte des alésages 8 pour le passage des cibles 1, lors du remplissage.These vertical rollers 5 are arranged between an upper plate 6 for holding the rollers 5 and a lower plate 7 for holding the rollers 5. The upper plate 6 has bores 8 for the passage of the targets 1, during filling.

Dans d'autres modes de réalisation, non représentés sur les figures, le plateau 6 peut être remplacé, par exemple, par des bras rayonnants qui maintiennent latéralement les cibles 1.In other embodiments, not shown in the figures, the plate 6 can be replaced, for example, by radiating arms which laterally hold the targets 1.

Le plateau inférieur 7 comporte des alésages 9 pour permettre le passage des cibles mobiles 1 qui tombent sur un plateau de base 10. Le plateau de base 10 est fixe. En rotation, il présente chaque cible mobile 1 devant le bras de lancement 11 ou bras d'éjection.The lower plate 7 has bores 9 to allow the passage of the moving targets 1 which fall on a base plate 10. The base plate 10 is fixed. In rotation, it has each moving target 1 in front of the launch arm 11 or ejection arm.

Un ou plusieurs moteurs 12 assurent la rotation du barillet rotatif 2 et le mouvement du bras d'éjection 11. Selon un mode particulier de l'invention, le chargement des cibles mobiles 1 s'effectue de manière frontale par écartement des extrémités supérieures 13 de deux rouleaux adjacents 5 dont les moyens de fixation 14 sont escamotables, de manière à autoriser un dégagement latéral desdits tubes verticaux 5 de la verticale.One or more motors 12 ensure the rotation of the rotary barrel 2 and the movement of the ejection arm 11. According to a particular embodiment of the invention, the loading of the moving targets 1 is carried out frontally by spacing the upper ends 13 of two adjacent rollers 5 whose fastening means 14 are retractable, so as to allow a lateral clearance of said vertical tubes 5 from the vertical.

Les tubes verticaux ou rouleaux 5 sont pourvus d'un moyen de fixation escamotable 14. Ce moyen de fixation escamotable 14 est un centreur 14 escamotable, monté co-axialement à un ressort de rappel 15. Le centreur escamotable 14 est monté co-axialement à l'axe longitudinal 16 du tube vertical 5. Le centreur escamotable 14 vient se loger dans un orifice 17, prévu à cet effet dans le plateau supérieur 6 du barillet rotatif 2.The vertical tubes or rollers 5 are provided with a retractable fixing means 14. This retractable fixing means 14 is a retractable centering device 14, mounted coaxially with a return spring 15. The retractable centering device 14 is mounted coaxially with the longitudinal axis 16 of the vertical tube 5. The retractable centering device 14 is housed in an orifice 17, provided for this purpose in the upper plate 6 of the rotary barrel 2.

L'orifice 17 prévu pour le centreur escamotable 14 comporte deux encoches 18 et 19, ou trous oblongs latéraux, qui autorisent après escamotage du centreur 14 le dégagement du tube 5 de la verticale.The orifice 17 provided for the retractable centering device 14 comprises two notches 18 and 19, or lateral oblong holes, which allow the retraction of the tube 5 from the vertical after retraction of the centering device 14.

Le dégagement, tel que représenté à la figure 6, peut se faire selon les flèches F1 ou F2, représentées à cette même figure 6.The release, as shown in Figure 6, can be done according to the arrows F1 or F2, shown in this same figure 6.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation, représenté dans les figures 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 et 8, par rotation des extrémités inférieures 20 des tubes 5 sur leur insert de fixation, il est possible de faire varier l'entre-axes entre deux tubes adjacents 5 pour adapter la colonne de cibles mobiles 3, en fonction du diamètre utilisé des cibles.According to another embodiment, represented in FIGS. 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8, by rotation of the lower ends 20 of the tubes 5 on their fixing insert, it is possible to vary the center distance between two adjacent tubes 5 for adapting the column of movable targets 3, according to the diameter of the targets used.

A cet effet, les tubes verticaux 5 comportent au niveau de leur surface des rainures 21, 22, 23 de forme et de taille différentes pour adapter la distance entre les colonnes en fonction du diamètre des cibles utilisées.To this end, the vertical tubes 5 have at their surface grooves 21, 22, 23 of different shape and size to adapt the distance between the columns as a function of the diameter of the targets used.

A cet effet, au niveau de l'extrémité inférieure 20 du tube ou rouleau vertical 5, un logement 33 est prévu pour un insert de maintien 34. L'insert de maintien 34 est solidaire du plateau inférieur 7.To this end, at the lower end 20 of the vertical tube or roller 5, a housing 33 is provided for a retaining insert 34. The retaining insert 34 is integral with the lower plate 7.

Ainsi, après démontage du centreur 14, du tube vertical 5, il est possible par rotation du tube 5 de choisir la rainure 21 ou 22 ou 23 qui sera en contact avec la tranche de la cible 1.Thus, after dismantling the centralizer 14 and the vertical tube 5, it is possible by rotation of the tube 5 to choose the groove 21 or 22 or 23 which will be in contact with the edge of the target 1.

Selon le mode de réalisation représenté dans les figures, le logement 33 du tube vertical 5 a une forme pentagonale femelle.According to the embodiment shown in the figures, the housing 33 of the vertical tube 5 has a female pentagonal shape.

L'insert 34 a une forme pentagonale mâle.The insert 34 has a male pentagonal shape.

Les rainures 21, 22, 23, sont disposées sur la génératrice du tube vertical 5.The grooves 21, 22, 23 are arranged on the generator of the vertical tube 5.

Une came à galets 24 est disposée au niveau de la périphérie 25 du plateau de base 10, fixe, en rotation, là où le barillet 2 libère une à une les cibles mobiles 1.A roller cam 24 is disposed at the periphery 25 of the base plate 10, fixed, in rotation, where the barrel 2 releases the moving targets 1 one by one.

Ladite came à galets 24 a une forme de haricot.Said roller cam 24 has a bean shape.

A une extrémité 26, la came à galets 24 est articulée en rotation, dans un plan horizontal, autour d'un axe 27 qui peut être disposé dans plusieurs points de positionnement 27 ou 28 sur le plateau de base 10 et, ce, en fonction du diamètre de la cible 1 utilisé. Cet axe de pivotement 27 est donc réglable en positionnement 27 ou 28.At one end 26, the roller cam 24 is articulated in rotation, in a horizontal plane, around an axis 27 which can be arranged in several positioning points 27 or 28 on the base plate 10 and, as a function of the diameter of target 1 used. This pivot axis 27 is therefore adjustable in positioning 27 or 28.

L'autre extrémité 29 de la came à galets 24 est articulée à un bras de contact 30 qui presse ladite came 24 vers l'extérieur du plateau de base 10, contre les cibles 1.The other end 29 of the roller cam 24 is articulated to a contact arm 30 which presses said cam 24 outwards from the base plate 10, against the targets 1.

Ledit bras de contact 30 agit au moyen de ressorts 31, 32 qui assurent une pression réglable sur la came à galets 24. La partie convexe 35 de la came à galets 24 est pourvue de galets 36 qui sont en contact avec la tranche des cibles 1 qui passent devant la came à galets 24.Said contact arm 30 acts by means of springs 31, 32 which provide adjustable pressure on the roller cam 24. The convex part 35 of the roller cam 24 is provided with rollers 36 which are in contact with the edge of the targets 1 which pass in front of the roller cam 24.

Les figures 10, 11 et 12 mettent en évidence la libération de la dernière cible 1 sur le plateau de base 10 et, ce, de manière à ce qu'elle soit éjectée par le bras de lancement ou bras d'éjection 11.FIGS. 10, 11 and 12 show the release of the last target 1 on the base plate 10 and this, so that it is ejected by the launching arm or ejection arm 11.

Dans les figures 10, 11 et 12 on retrouve le plateau inférieur 7 de maintien des rouleaux ou tubes verticaux 5. Ce plateau inférieur comporte des alésages 9 qui permettent le passage des cibles qui descendent par gravité. Au niveau de l'extrémité 29 de la came à galets 24, le plateau de base 10 comporte un alésage 37 qui permet à une des cibles mobiles 1 d'être libre, puisqu'elle n'est en contact avec aucun galet, et de tomber sur le plateau de base 10. A cet effet, la colonne 4 de cibles 1 est maintenue, pour la dernière cible 1, par le plateau de base 10, pour l'avant-dernière cible 41, par les galets de contact 36 de la came à galets 24 et, vers l'extérieur, par un galet extérieur de maintien 38, l'avant-avant-dernière cible 40 est également maintenue, puisque l'avant-dernière cible 41 est maintenue. Seule, la dernière cible 1 est rendue libre.In Figures 10, 11 and 12 we find the lower plate 7 for holding the rollers or vertical tubes 5. This lower plate has bores 9 which allow the passage of targets which descend by gravity. At the end 29 of the roller cam 24, the base plate 10 has a bore 37 which allows one of the moving targets 1 to be free, since it is not in contact with any roller, and to fall on the base plate 10. For this purpose, the column 4 of targets 1 is maintained, for the last target 1, by the base plate 10, for the penultimate target 41, by the contact rollers 36 of the roller cam 24 and, outwards, by an external retaining roller 38, the penultimate target 40 is also maintained, since the penultimate target 41 is maintained. Only the last target 1 is released.

Arrivée au niveau de l'alésage 37 du plateau de base 10, la cible 1, qui est libre, tombe du plateau de base 10 sur la rampe de lancement 42. L'avant-dernière cible 41, qui est maintenue par les galets 36 et 38 et l'avant-avant-dernière cible 40 est également maintenue en place dans le barillet 2.Arriving at the bore 37 of the base plate 10, the target 1, which is free, falls from the base plate 10 on the launch pad 42. The penultimate target 41, which is held by the rollers 36 and 38 and the penultimate target 40 is also held in place in barrel 2.

L'appareil pour le lancement peut être adapté aisément pour l'utilisation de différents types de cibles.The launch device can be easily adapted for the use of different types of targets.

Ainsi, il existe des cibles dont les diamètres sont variés, ainsi que leur appellation. En France : - cible "mini" 0 90 mm - cible "bourdon" 0 60 mm En Angleterre : - cible "midi" 0 90 mm - cible "mini" 0 60 mm. Thus, there are targets whose diameters are varied, as well as their designation. In France : - target "mini" 0 90 mm - "bumblebee" target 0 60 mm In England : - target "noon" 0 90 mm - target "mini" 0 60 mm.

Ces différences de diamètre ne posent pas de problème pour l'utilisation de l'appareil, étant donné les caractéristiques techniques décrites ci-dessus.These differences in diameter do not pose a problem for the use of the device, given the technical characteristics described above.

D'autres cibles ont des épaisseurs différentes, par exemple:

  • la cible "BATTUE" (marque déposée) 0 110 mm, avec une épaisseur de moitié de l'épaisseur normale.
Other targets have different thicknesses, for example:
  • the target "BATTUE" (registered trademark) 0 110 mm, with a thickness of half the normal thickness.

Dans ce cas, la rampe de lancement (42), qui est en plan incliné, peut recevoir un moyen faisant office de cale, qui compense la différence d'épaisseur entre la cible classique et les autres pouvant être spécifiques à tel ou tel tir ou sport.In this case, the launching ramp (42), which is in an inclined plane, can receive a means acting as a wedge, which compensates for the difference in thickness between the conventional target and the others which may be specific to a particular shot or sport.
