    [0001] 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.
    [0002] It finds its application particularly in the sector of the training for the sports shooting that it is with the rifle, the revolver or the bow, in particular with a launching of the type pit or skeet which takes place with the voice and which must follow very quickly the vocal order. 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, by the document FR-A-2 787 181. Such devices have given satisfaction in a general manner 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.
    [0003] FIG. 1 shows a device for launching the state of the art according to an embodiment allowing an instantaneous departure. According to the device 1 a launching shown in Figure 1, a target to launch, not shown in Figure 1, is propelled by a rotating arm 2 provided with a strip 28 rubber. The target is positioned midway length of the arm 2 against the strip 28. The arm 2 is hinged about a substantially vertical axis A1 being fixed to the upper end of a rotation shaft 3 supported by a cross member 7 by the upper portion 8 of the body of the device 1a, said shaft 3 being free to rotate relative to the crossbar 7 and the upper portion 8. During the launch, the arm 2 rotates about said axis Al and undergoes an angular acceleration which plate the target against the ruler 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 connecting 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. In the lower part of the device 1a, a geared motor 9 is carried by the lower portion 8a of the body of the device 1a. This geared motor 9 drives in rotation, through said lower portion 8a of the body, a crankpin 10a whose axis of rotation is coaxial with the axis of rotation Al of the rod 4, the shaft 3 and the arm 2 On the crankpin 10a, there is provided a pin 11 projecting above the crankpin 10a and whose trajectory during the rotation of the crankpin 10a meets that of the stud 5 disposed at the end of the rod 4, this end being no adjacent to the shaft 3. The two pins 11 and 5 interfere with each other, this advantageously over a height of about 3 millimeters. Located substantially above the fastening of the tension spring 6 on the upper portion 8 of the body of the device 1 a, there is provided a contactor 12 which coincides with the trajectory of a portion of the arm 2 when it has rotated around its axis Al, this portion being advantageously the end portion of the arm 2. In such a device 1a, the arm 2 is rotatable about the upper 8 and lower 8a portions of the body of the device 1a, the rotation of the arm 2 being effected advantageously in the trigonometric direction with the freewheel 20a preventing any rotation of the arm 2 in opposite directions. For initiating the launch of a target, a remote triggering means instructs the geared motor 9 to turn. During this step, said arming step, the crankpin 10a rotates about an axis coaxial with the axis of rotation Al of the arm 2 and the stud 11 moves until it comes 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". At the "zero point", the arm 2 undergoes no torque resulting in a balance between the arming step and the launching step. By continuing the rotation of the arm 2 in the trigonometric direction, the crossing of this "zero point" generates a motor torque on the arm 2 with the tension spring 6 taut. If no obstacle against this torque then the tension spring 6 expands suddenly and the release of the arm 2 causes the launch of the target. During the launching step by ejection of the target out of the device 1a, the arm 2 performs, under the triggering action of the tension spring 6, an almost instantaneous rotation. The arm 2 then passes consecutively through a so-called 180 ° rest position of the "zero point" which it exceeds due to its inertia until reaching a position at 270 ° of the "zero point". This position remains maintained thanks to the freewheel 20a which prevents any rotation in the opposite direction. In this device of the prior art, the geared motor 9 is stopped when the arm 2 is beyond the "zero point" so as to ensure an immediate release to the launch order. This position is called the launch position. 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. When the electromagnet 15 is energized, it rotates the trigger 13 which releases the arm 2. This results in an extremely low response time, satisfactory for applications almost instantaneous launch.
    [0004] However, this arrangement has many disadvantages. 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. However, 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. In addition, 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. Thus, 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. Another possible consequence is the locking of the trigger 13 in the closed position. In this case, the geared motor 9 pushes the arm 2 to crush the latter. Human intervention is needed to unlock the mechanism. Once the obstacle is released, the arm 2 produces its acceleration by operating a rapid rotation of 270 °. As a commonly used tension spring 6 requires between 100 kg and 200 kg to be stretched, the energy restored during its expansion is directly proportional to its stiffness. The danger for the repairer is then real and the utmost caution is required during his intervention.
    [0005] 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. For this purpose, 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. to a position called "zero point", 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 flush in a launch position and, secondly, to release the arm beyond the launch position, the launch means being configured to relax to rotate 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. This is obtained with 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. In addition, 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. Thus, 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. In addition, the pressure exerted by the launching means on the complementary locking means, interposed between the launching means and the rotation shaft of the arm, collaborates with the speed of retraction of the second locking means during the release of the arm beyond the launch position. In addition, since the 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.
    [0006] Finally, in relation to the state of the art mentioned in the introductory part of the present patent application and using a trigger and an electromagnet as the arm locking system, the launch device according to the present invention does not exhibit blocking risk.
    [0007] Optionally, the invention further comprises at least any of the following characteristics which may be alternative or cumulative: the first and second locking means and the complementary locking means are arranged below the rotation shaft of the 10 arms, - the launching means comprise a tension spring capable of being tensioned during the rotation of the arm to the "zero point" position, the return to the relaxed position of the tension spring being configured to perform the rotation of the arm for the launching the target by the arm, 15 - the tension spring is fixed at one of its ends to a fixed upper portion of the device, its other end being hinged to one end of a connecting rod whose other end is connected to the shaft of rotation of the arm, the connecting rod carrying the complementary blocking means, the motor means comprise a geared motor, the first and second means locking set comprising respectively a first stop pushing the complementary blocking means carried by the connecting rod in a position corresponding to the launching position of the arm and a second stop holding the complementary blocking means in this position, comprising a first configured crankpin to be driven by the geared motor and carrying the first stop and a second crankpin mounted on a free wheel and carrying the second stop, said free wheel allowing the rotation of the crankpin in the opposite direction of rotation of the geared motor, - the first stop is carried by a first crankpin driven by the geared motor and the second stop is carried by a second crankpin mounted on a free wheel, said free wheel allowing the rotation of the crankpin in the opposite direction of rotation of the geared motor. the first and second cranks each comprise a first end respectively carrying a pinion and a second end opposite to the first end bearing respectively a stop, the freewheel being arranged at the first end of the second crankpin, the pinion of the first crankpin is driven by the geared motor and drives in turn directly or indirectly the pinion of the second crankpin. - Including an intermediate gear inserted between the pinion of the first crankpin and the pinion of the second crank pinion, the intermediate gear being driven by the pinion of the first crankpin and driving the pinion of the second crankpin. - The second crank pin comprises a rod biased resiliently by a spring which pushes the second crankpin against a fixed element preferably secured to the lower portion of the body of the device. - The first stop carried by the first crankpin and the complementary locking means are each in the form of a stud and the second stop carried by the second crankpin is in the form of a roller. - The device comprises a switch positioned to trigger the stop gear motor after the arm launch position reached. - The switch is positioned on the upper portion of the fixed body of the device to interact with the free end of the arm carrying a complementary element to the contactor. The invention also relates to a method of launching a target by such a launcher, which method comprises the following successive steps: - arming the launching means by rotating the arm driven by the motor means to "point zero ", the first blocking means pushing the complementary blocking means carried by the shaft rotation shaft in a position corresponding to said" zero point "position, - driving the arm to the launch position to- beyond the "zero point" in the direction of rotation of the arm, the first blocking means continuing to push the complementary blocking means carried by the arm rotation shaft in a launch position slightly exceeding the "zero point" position, stopping the motor means, locking the arm in the launching position, keeping the launching means under tension, the second locking means maintaining the means s complementary blocking in this position, - restarting the motor means, following a target launch order to unlock the arm and launching the target arm by detaching the launch means subsequent to the release of the complementary blocking means 10 by the second blocking means. According to one possibility, the stopping of the motor means is consecutive to the detection of a position of the arm corresponding to the "zero point" or slightly exceeding the "zero point". Advantageously, the method comprises a step of maintaining the position of the arm in its final position of rotation after launching, said final position serving as a starting position for the arming step of a new launching cycle. Other features, objects and advantages of the present invention will appear on reading the detailed description which follows and with reference to the appended drawings given by way of non-limiting example and in which: FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic representation; of an embodiment known from the state of the art with a perspective view of a target launch device according to this state of the art, - Figures 2 to 11 are diagrammatic representations in perspective from different angles of embodiment of a target launching device according to the present invention, the device having different positions of the throwing arm in these figures. In what follows, there will be described a device for launching targets for shooting sports like pigeon shooting so frequently using clay targets. It should be emphasized that the present invention is not limited by such use and may relate to the launching of foam targets, for example for archery purposes.
    [0008] Similarly, the launching of targets can be done substantially in the air with a significant vertical component or substantially flush with a large horizontal component. The term "worn" means that the two elements are kinematically connected. All configurations respecting this kinematic simultaneity fall within the object of the invention. Both elements can be directly or indirectly related. Figure 1 has already been detailed in the introductory part of this application.
    [0009] With reference to FIGS. 2 to 11, the target launching device 1 comprises a rotating launching arm 2, launching means 6 and motor means 9 for arming the arm 2 by rotation of said arm 2 and a rotation shaft 3 associated to a position called "zero point", this position having been previously specified. The launching means 6 and the drive means 9 are active on said shaft 3 and the launching means 6 are under tension without exerting torque on the arm 2 in said "zero point" position. The device 1 for launching targets comprises first and second locking means 10, 11, 19, 20, 21 of the rotation of the arm 2 associated with the motor means 9 and cooperating with complementary locking means 5 interposed between the launching means 6 and the rotation shaft 3 of the arm 2. The first and second locking means 10, 11, 19, 20, 21 and the complementary locking means 5 are configured, firstly, to lock the arm 2 to beyond the "zero point" on a predefined angular sector in the direction of rotation of the arm 2 in a launch position and, secondly, to release the arm 2 beyond the launch position, the launching means 6 relaxing to rotate the arm 2 for launching the target. The launch position may correspond to the position "zero point" or be taken by the arm a little after the passage of the position "zero point". The predefined angular sector is a function of the design of the first and second locking means 10, 11, 19, 20, 21, in particular of the second locking means 19, 20, 21 which must still provide an efficient blocking of the complementary blocking means 5 in the launch position. In the embodiments of the invention illustrated in the figures, the device 1 for launching targets has certain characteristics of the device illustrated in FIG. 1, namely that the arm 2 is indirectly secured, via a transmission shaft. rotation 3 associated with the arm 2, a connecting rod 4 rotating about the axis that had been referenced A1 in FIG. 1, one end of the connecting rod 4 being connected to the lower end of the rotation shaft 3. connecting rod 4 comprises at its other opposite end a pin 5 disposed on the side of the connecting rod not facing 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, which is illustrated in particular in FIG. 11. In these embodiments of the launch device 1 according to the invention, the stud 5 represents the complementary locking means while the tension spring 6 illustrates the launching means of the device 1. The tension spring 6 is adapted to being stretched during the rotation of the arm 2 to its "zero point" position, the return to the relaxed position of the tension spring 6 rotating the arm 2 for launching the target by the arm 2.
    [0010] Still in these embodiments illustrated in Figures 2 to 11, in the lower part of the device 1, a geared motor 9, illustrating the motor means, is carried by the lower portion 8a of the body of the device 1 a. This geared motor 9 drives in rotation, through the lower portion 8a, a first pin 10 whose axis of rotation extends parallel to the axis of rotation of the rod 4 and the rotation shaft 3 of the arm 2. As can be seen in particular in FIGS. 2 and 3, the first crank pin 10, forming part of these embodiments of the first locking means 10, 11 previously mentioned, carries at its periphery a first pinion 25, preferably at a second end. The first pinion 25 is advantageously positioned on the lower part of the crankpin 10 and resting on the upper face of the lower portion 8a formed by a support plate of the body of the device 1.
    [0011] The pinion 25 of the first crankpin 10 is driven by the geared motor 9. This first pinion 25 drives a second pinion 26 meshing itself a third pinion 27. The second pinion 26 is a pinion spacer and is not mandatory. The third pinion 27 is associated with a second pin 21 which is part of the second blocking means according to the present invention which will be more precisely described. The embodiments illustrated in FIGS. 4 to 11 may also have first, second and third pinions, although these are not visible. These pinions can also for example be under a plate supporting the first and second pins 10, 21. In the embodiments shown in Figures 2 to 11, the first crank pin 10 forming part of the first locking means has a first stop, advantageously in the form of a pin 11. The pin 11 pushes the complementary blocking means 5, here the pin 5 carried by the rod 4 in a position corresponding to the "zero point" position of the arm 2 during the so-called step arming the arm. This can be seen in particular in Figures 5 and 6. The third pinion 27, visible in Figures 2 and 3, is connected to an axis 22 extending parallel to the shaft 3 which carries the arm 2. This shaft 22 carries a wheel free 20 at its upper extension above the third pinion 27. The free wheel 20 is included in the second pin 21 equipped at its end, preferably a first end, a roller 19 free rotation. In this embodiment, these elements are part of the second locking means 19, 20, 21 according to the present invention. It is the roller 19 which forms the second stop and maintains the complementary blocking means 5 in their position corresponding to the so-called launch position of the arm 2, slightly beyond or equivalent to the "zero point" position before the during the rotation of the third pinion 27, the first and second pins 10, 21 may comprise a first end respectively bearing a pinion 25, 27. The stop, in the form of a pin 11 or a roller 19, carried respectively by the first and second pins 10, 21 is preferably arranged at a second end of the crank pin 10, 21 opposite the first end carrying the pinion 25, 27. For the second locking means 19, 20, 21, the freewheel The second crankpin 21 is preferably arranged at the first end. Advantageously, a bar 16 whose one end surrounds the pin 11 connects it to the upper portion 8 of the body of the device 1, as can be seen in particular in Figure 11. This bar 16 does not intervene in the trigger mechanism. It is a link that synchronizes the rotation of a barrel containing targets and thus the loading of a target for launching with the position of the arm 2. At the start of the engine, the arm 2 undergoes an acceleration and operates a rotation of 270 °. Beginning the displacement of the crankpin 10, which on the first 180 ° cooperates with the bar 16 with the lower part of a rod 29. The other end of the rod 29 is in contact with the barrel and causes its rotation in the counterclockwise direction until a target falls on a launch pad. The next 180 ° reset the position of the connecting rod 29 causing it to rotate in the opposite direction. During this phase, the pins 5 and 11 come into contact until crossing the zero point by the stud 5, arming position. The role of the first blocking means 10, 11 is rather a guiding role of the complementary locking means 5 mainly by the stud 11 during the rotational movement of the first crankpin 10 driven by its pinion 25 to a position corresponding to the position "point zero "of the arm 2 and, where appropriate, a little beyond this position" zero point "while the second locking means 19, 20, 21 progressively maintain the position in position of the complementary locking means 5 at the position "Zero point" and its crossing to a launch position, as long as the launch of the target is not ordered. In this case, with restarting of the motor means 9 which had been stopped when reaching the launching position, the second locking means 19, 20, 21 and the release of the stud 5 are immediately released and, consequently, the rotation shaft 3 and the arm 2, the latter then rotating to launch the target. Advantageously, the first and second locking means 10, 11, 19, 20, 21 and the complementary locking means 5 are arranged below the rotation shaft 3 of the arm 2. They have no direct action on arm 2 and do not interfere with it, unlike some devices according to the state of the art. Opposite the free roller 19, the second crankpin 21 carries a lug 17 supporting a rod 23 disposed above and in elevation of the lug 17 and may be provided with a roller at its upper free end. Another part of the second crankpin 21 or preferably the lug 17 is, in a position of the free wheel 20, pressed to an element 18a connected to the lower portion 8a of the body. The element 18a may have an adjustment screw 18b, which is particularly visible, in particular in FIGS. 4 to 10, in order to adjust the spacing between the element 18a and the second crankpin 21. An elastic means, in the form of a spring 14, extends while being connected, on the one hand, to the rod 23 carried by the lug 17 of the second crankpin 21 and, on the other hand, to the upper end portion of a rod 18 s extending substantially vertically and resting on the lower portion 8a of the body of the device 1. This return spring 14 recalls the rod 23 and consequently the second crankpin 21 against the element 18a, in particular against the free end of the screw 18b which cross it. Other embodiments of the return of the second crankpin 21 against the element 18a are also possible, the element 18a can for example be in many forms.
    [0012] The freewheel 20, disposed inside the second crank pin 21, is permissive in the opposite trigonometric direction and does not oppose the return movement of the return spring 14. As already mentioned for a launch device according to the state of the technique, it can be provided a contactor 12 may be located substantially above the vicinity of the attachment of the tension spring 6 with the upper portion 8 of the body of the device 1, this by one end of said tension spring 6. A part of this switch 12 may coincide with the trajectory of a portion of the arm 2 when the arm 2 has rotated about its axis, this portion being advantageously the free end portion of the arm 2, this free end portion of the arm 2 carrying a complementary element to the contactor 12. The switch 12 is positioned to trigger the stopping of the geared motor 9 once the launch position of the arm 2 reached, preferably the positi it is "zero point" or a position slightly beyond the "zero point" position. During operation, the pin 11 of the first crankpin 10, actuated by the geared motor 9, pushes the pin 5 of the rod 4 until it reaches a position corresponding to the launch position of the arm 2 mentioned above. At this launching position, the contactor 12 then comes into contact with the arm 2 and stops the geared motor 9. The pin 5 has come into contact with the roller 19 of the second crankpin 21 so that the roller 19 is constrained in the trigonometric direction and prevents a launch of the target by the arm 2. At the moment when a trigger device causes the gear motor 9 to start, the rotation of the shaft 22 releases the free wheel 20 and causes the rotation the crankpin 21 in the trigonometrical direction. The second locking means 19, 20, 21 then release the complementary locking means 5 and the rotation of the arm 2 can be performed freely for a target launch. The method of launching a target by such a launching device 1 may have the steps mentioned below. The first step is the arming of the launching means 6 by rotation of the arm 2 driven by the motor means 9 to the "zero point".
    [0013] This first step can notably be illustrated by FIGS. 5 and 6. During this arming step, it is the first locking means 10, 11 and more precisely the pin 11 which push the complementary locking means, advantageously the pin 5. , in the "zero point" position. The second step is the driving of the arm 2 to the launch position beyond or equivalent to the "zero point" in the direction of rotation of the arm 2. The first blocking means 11 continue their thrust action means of complementary blocking 5 carried by the rotation shaft 3 of the arm 2 in a launch position exceeding slightly or equivalent to the "zero point" position. During this step, the second locking means 19, 20, 21 become progressively active to ensure the locking of the stud 5 and consequently to prevent rotation of the shaft 3 of the arm 2.
    [0014] The third step is the stopping of the motor means 9, this after detection that the "zero point" position has been crossed and the arm is in its launch position. This detection can be done by a contactor 12 as shown in FIG. 11.
    [0015] The fourth step is the locking of the arm 2 in the launch position by keeping the launching means 6 under traction. To do this, the second locking means 19, 20, 21 hold the complementary locking means 5 in a position corresponding to the launch position. The fifth step corresponds to the restarting of the motor means 9, following a target launch order to unlock the arm 2. The launching of the target of the arm 2 is then performed by detaching the launching means 6 following the release of the means complementary locking 5 by the second blocking means 19, 20, 21. The stop rotation of the arm 2, due to the inertia of the system, occurs approximately 270 ° from the "zero point" position. Maintaining this position at 270 ° is possible because of the freewheel 20a present on the rotation shaft 3 of the arm 2. The geared motor 9 continues to operate, the freewheel 20a becomes driving again and again drives the connecting rod 4 for a new arming step. According to the invention, there is no problem of synchronization because only the geared motor 9 is biased, the blocking release and locking system being mechanically linked to the latter. The electrical control is simplified and the risk of malfunctions decreased. Only a defect related to the tension spring 6 could result in a burst departure of the arm 2. The safety of people in the vicinity of the device 1 is thus significantly improved, compared to embodiments of the state of the art. , including the one shown in Figure 1.
