Definitions
- the present invention relates to a target launching device for instantaneous shooting sport of the target with active blocking means on the rotation shaft of the throwing arm, that is to say with a quickest launch possible from the target once the launch order has been given.
- Target launching devices for sport shooting are known, these targets being in particular in the form of clay trays.
- One of these devices is disclosed, for example, in document FR-A-2 787 181.
- Such devices have given satisfaction in general but are not suitable for certain shooting disciplines when a quasi-instantaneous departure of the target is requested, this departure following for example the vocal order of the shooter.
- FIG. 1 shows a device for launching the state of the art according to an embodiment allowing an instantaneous departure.
- a target to launch not shown in Figure 1
- a rotating arm 2 provided with a strip 28 rubber.
- the target is positioned at mid-length of the arm 2 against the ruler 28.
- the arm 2 is articulated about a substantially vertical axis A1 being fixed to the upper end of a rotation shaft 3 supported by a cross member 7 carried by the upper portion 8 of the body of the device 1 a, said shaft 3 being free to rotate relative to the crossbar 7 and the upper portion 8.
- the arm 2 rotates about said axis A1 and undergoes an angular acceleration which plates the target against the strip 28, while rolling the target towards its end .
- the target is then ejected by turning on itself.
- the arm 2 is indirectly secured, via the shaft 3, a rod 4 rotating about the axis A1, one end of the connecting rod 4 being connected to the lower end of the shaft 3.
- the connecting rod 4 comprises at its other opposite end a pin 5 disposed on the side of the rod 4 not oriented towards the arm 2 and projecting downwards.
- This stud 5 of the rod 4 is secured to one end of a tension spring 6, the other end of the tension spring 6 being secured to the upper portion 8 of the body of the device 1 a.
- the rod 4 is also mechanically connected to a free wheel 20a mounted on the shaft 3.
- a geared motor 9 is carried by the lower portion 8a of the body of the device 1a.
- This geared motor 9 rotates, through said lower portion 8a of the body, a crankpin 10a whose axis of rotation is coaxial with the axis of rotation A1 of the rod 4, the shaft 3 and the arm 2
- On the crankpin 10a there is provided a stud 1 1 protruding above the crank pin 10a and whose trajectory during the rotation of the crank pin 10a meets that of the stud 5 disposed at the end of the rod 4, this end being not adjacent to the shaft 3.
- the two pins 1 1 and 5 interfere with each other, this advantageously over a height of about 3 millimeters.
- a contactor 12 which coincides with the trajectory of a portion of the arm 2 when it has rotated around its axis A1, this portion being advantageously the end portion of the arm 2.
- the arm 2 is rotating around the upper 8 and lower 8a portions of the body of the device 1a, the rotation of the arm 2 being advantageously in the trigonometric direction with the free wheel 20a prohibiting any rotation of the arm 2 in the opposite direction.
- a remote triggering means instructs the geared motor 9 to turn.
- the crank pin 10a rotates about an axis coaxial with the axis of rotation A1 of the arm 2 and the stud 1 1 moves until coming into contact with the stud 5 carried by the connecting rod 4, advantageously in linear contact.
- the connecting rod 4, the shaft 3 and the arm 2 are then rotated to the stop of the arm 2 against the contactor 12. Ideally, this stop is as close as possible to a position called "zero point".
- the arm 2 undergoes no torque resulting in a balance between the arming step and the launching step.
- the balance of the system is then a forced balance and is obtained by adding a movable obstacle on the trajectory of the arm 2.
- This obstacle consists of a trigger 13 pivoting about an axis 14.
- the trigger 13 is kept in contact with an electromagnet rod 15 by means of a return spring.
- a significant constraint is the positioning accuracy of the contactor 12. If its bias is early, away from the crossbar 7, the "zero point" may not be crossed, causing a delayed start. If it is late, approaching the crossbar 7, the arm 2 can squeeze the trigger 13 excessively by striking the target positioned on the launching plate with a risk of blocking the electromagnet 15 or degradation of the target.
- the power of the motor to stopping accurately constant can vary either with the rise in temperature or with the supply voltage.
- the current adjustment range is about 5 mm in a conventional environment, which is binding.
- the use of an electromagnet increases the price of the device 1a and can generate various malfunctions even up to the blocking of the device 1a.
- the electrical control which must drive the electromagnet 15 before the geared motor 9 may fail and / or the core of the electromagnet 15 may remain trapped, and the trigger 13, which is problematic.
- a possible consequence is a locking of the trigger 13 in the open position, the arm 2 starting burst. Human intervention is necessary to avoid launching a target unnecessarily.
- the object of the present invention is to design a target launching device which can have a quasi-instantaneous response time to a launch order while improving the security and arming time problems of the devices of the state of the technique.
- the invention proposes a target launching device comprising a launching arm movable in rotation, launching means and motor means for arming the arm by rotation of said arm and an associated rotation shaft.
- the launching means and the drive means being active on said shaft and the launching means being under tension without exerting torque on the arm in said "zero point” position, characterized in that it comprises first and second means for locking the rotation of the arm associated with the drive means and cooperating with complementary locking means interposed between the launching means and the arm rotation shaft, the first and second locking means and the complementary locking means being configured, on the one hand, to lock the arm beyond the "zero point" on a predefined angular sector in the direction of rotation of the b in a launch position and, secondly, to release the arm beyond the launch position, the launch means being configured to relax to perform the rotation of the arm for the launch of the target.
- the technical effect is a quasi-instantaneous departure of the target when the motor means substantially exceed the "zero point" and that the first and second blocking means cease to be operational.
- the solution proposed by the present invention has the advantage of providing a short arming step with a launch delay of the target in the shortest possible launch order.
- locking means whose action depends directly on the motor means, these locking means being first gradually set in the locking position by the motor means, active when the motor means are stopped after crossing the position launching then rendered inoperative when the motor means are returned to operation and the arm resumes its rotational movement away from the launch position. This ensures a much higher operating safety of the device than the trigger system and electromagnet of the state of the art.
- such a device does not require a very precise detection of the "zero point" position, this detection being advantageously done by a detector in the form of a contactor.
- the positioning range of the contactor may be wider than that of devices according to the state of the art. This positioning tolerance makes it easier to adjust and position the detector, advantageously a contactor.
- first and second locking means act on the complementary locking means connected to the rotation shaft of the arm and not on the arm itself, as is the case for certain devices according to the state of the technique, it results in an absence of mechanical stress on the arm in the launch device according to the invention.
