Durable Articulated Joints and Mannequins Made Therewith
20220026183 · 2022-01-27 · ·

Embodiments of the disclosure include mannequins and parts thereof. The disclosure includes descriptions of articulated joints for mannequins, specifically, for positioning and posing mannequins in one or more positions. The disclosure also includes descriptions of retail mannequins and target or tactical mannequins incorporating one or more articulated joints. In the case of a tactical mannequin, a tactical mannequin incorporating one or more articulated joints may have advantages in being able to withstand (e.g., maintain structural and mechanical integrity) under extreme conditions, all the while being cost-effective and being able to be easily re-positioned. Retail mannequins incorporating one or more articulated joints may weigh less than conventional mannequins while being easily repositionable and durable. Another aspect of the present disclosure describes methods of manufacturing mannequins incorporating one or more articulated joints, such as, for example, in a cold rotational molding process.

Woodworking Circle-Drawing Tool
20230147660 · 2023-05-11 ·

A woodworking circle-drawing tool is an apparatus that enables the user to draw precise circles for an axe throwing target. The apparatus includes a support bar, a releasable anchor, a marker holder, a holder clamp, and a small-target stencil. The support bar serves to support the operation of the releasable anchor, the marker holder, and the small-target stencil. The support bar also serves to keep the marker holder at different distances from the releasable anchor to draw the different sized circles. The releasable anchor serves to secure the apparatus to the target board using an appropriate fastener. The holder clamp enables the secure attachment of the marker holder to the support bar. The marker holder enables the attachment of a marker that can be used to draw the target circles using the apparatus. The small-target stencil enables the drawing of smaller circles often found in axe throwing targets.

TARGET RETAINING DEVICE
20230373238 · 2023-11-23 ·

The present invention relates to a target retainer device for adhering a target to a substrate for a variety of target and substrate types. The target retainer includes an impact-hold-resistant shaft to ensure the target remains in place during impact over multiple uses but can be easily inserted and removed from a substrate or a substrate covering or exterior to allow for reuse. The target retainer is available in multiple lengths for the best performance and ease of use based on substrates or substrate coverings or exteriors.

Apparatus for generating a vitals target
11415396 · 2022-08-16 · ·

An apparatus for generating a vitals target may include a processor, an output device, and a non-transitory storage medium. The output device is communicatively connected to the processor. The non-transitory storage medium may include a number of module. The number of modules may include a target distance identify module, a target animal identify module, a vital zone determine module, a first distance identify module, and a target calculate module. The target distance identify module that identifies a target set distance for a target configuration. The target animal identify module identifies an animal being simulated. The first distance identify module identifying a first distance being simulated at the target set distance. The target calculate module rendering the vital zone for a target distance. The output generate module causing the output device to generate a vitals target.

FIREARM TARGET WITH LOCK ON PATTERN
20210333072 · 2021-10-28 ·

A firearm target is specially adapted to provide a superior “locked in” sight picture when viewed through firearm sights. Variations having different sized and spaced elements are provided to match different sighting systems and ranges. The elements can include a main wedge, a chisel pattern, foreground and background grids, and foreground and background borderlines. The chisel vertical spacing can be selected to match crosshair thickness and the targeting distance. Aligning the crosshairs to the gap can significantly or completely hide the gap. Misaligning the crosshairs to the gap causes the gap to become more visible because of the gap's highly noticeable and contrasting colors. The target thereby provides a lock-on functionality for a marksman.

Shooting range facility for recreational or sporting purposes with a tilting target support, method for configuring such a facility

A shooting range facility that is for recreational or sporting purposes includes a target support plate, which can be tilted according to several different possible inclinations with respect to a reference plane, and at least one target representation intended to be displayed in a plane of the target support plate. Each target representation has several different displayable deformations, respectively associated with the several different possible inclinations, these different deformations being designed so that the orthogonal projections thereof in the reference plane are all identical when they are respectively displayed in the plane of the target support plate according to the inclinations with which they are respectively associated.
