(43) First, referring to
(44)
(45) Meanwhile, a support leg (5) is installed in the bottom plate 51 (see
(46) In
(47) In this case, as the plated steel plate 21, galvalume is preferably used. The galvalume is a plated steel plate made of a mixture of aluminum and zinc and has advantages that it is resistant to corrosion, smooth to the plated surface and provides the appearance of white metal, which looks beautiful. Further, as a framework in the inside of the body 1a, square pipes (23) constituting a frame 20 (see

(50) Referring to
(51) The space existing between the first inner rubber plate 6 and the second inner rubber plate 7 is a bullet collecting space 131 (see
(52) Meanwhile, in
(53)
(54) First,
(55) The side plate 21 and the back plate of the body 1a are configured such that the plated steel plates 21, 22 are combined inside and outside the frame 20 in which the framework is fabricated with square pipes 23. The bottom plate 53 (
(56) The front bracket 40 installed on the front part of the body 1a is bent into L-shape and has a rubber plate insertion groove 40a between the square pipes 23 constituting the frame 20 of the body 1a, and the front rubber plate 4 can be inserted in a sliding manner by the rubber plate insertion groove 40a, and the used front rubber plate 4 can be again pulled out and separated.
(57) In the inner surface of the side plates 2 of the body 1a, the first rubber plate support 6a and the second rubber plate support 7a are installed in pairs, respectively. The first inner rubber plate 6 and the second inner rubber plate 7 can be inserted in a sliding manner along a groove provided between the first and second rubber plate supports 6a, 7a. In this case, the first rubber plate support 6a and the second rubber plate support 7a are preferably manufactured by using the square pipe. In particular, it is preferable to use the square pipe with galvanized surface.
(58)
(59) The bottom opening 52 formed at the bottom plate 51 of the body 1a of the bullet collecting box 1 serves as a passage for discharging powder filling materials 9 contained in the bullet collecting box 1, and the bottom stopper plate 53 can be combined with the bottom plate 51. Both edges of the bottom opening 52 of the bottom plate 51 is formed of a protruding jaw 51a, and both edges of the bottom stopper plate 53 are formed of a sliding groove 53b. Therefore, the bottom stopper plate 53 can be combined or separated with the bottom plate 51 by a sliding combination between the sliding groove 53b and the projecting jaw 51a. Meanwhile, since a handle 53a is formed at the bottom stopper plate 53, it is possible to easily perform the work in which a person holds a handle 53a and insert or withdraw the bottom stopper plate 53 in the bottom plate 51.
(60) The bottom surface of the bullet collecting box 1 is installed with a support leg 5, and the support leg is formed as a structure in which the square pipes 5a, the rubber block 5c and magnet 5b are connected in series. The square pipes are respectively installed to be spaced apart in the left and right sides along the front-rear direction of the bullet collecting box 1 and can be manufactured with metal materials such as iron, aluminum, or metal alloys. In particular, it is preferable to manufacture with galvanized iron. The square pipes 5a can be combined to the bottom plate 51 using means such as a volt, or it can be combined directly by a welding method. A magnet 5b is combined in front of the square pipes 5a. When stacking and installing the bullet collecting boxes, the magnet 5b serves to pull with the body of another bullet collecting box located at the bottom and stick well to each other. Further, the rubber block 5c is positioned in front of the magnet 5b. The rubber block 5c serves to protect the back-sided magnet 5b and square pipes 5a from the bullets.
(61) Meanwhile,
(62)
(63)
(64) Further, the first rubber plate support 6a and the second rubber plate support 7a can be fabricated by using the square pipes, and for example, a galvanized pipe where a size of the cross-sectional shape is 25 mm40 mm can be used. In this case, in

(66)
(67) Referring to
(68) The separation distance between the front rubber plate 4 and the first inner rubber plate 6 is preferably set to 0.14-0.25 m, and the separation distance between the first inner rubber plate 6 and the second inner rubber plate 7 is preferably 0.5-0.7 m.
(69) Furthermore, according to the experiment of the present inventors, the length L10 in the back and forth direction of the body 1a of the bullet collecting box 1 is 1 m, the width L1 in the right and left direction of the body 1a is 1.3 m, and the height (H1) of the body 1a is 1.1 m. The cross-sectional shape of the square pipes 23 constituting the frame 20 is preferably 40 mm40 mm. When the thickness of the first inner rubber plate 6 and the second inner rubber plate 7 is 15 mm, the separation distance between the front rubber plate 4 and the first inner rubber plate 6 is 0.19-0.21 m and the separation distance between the first inner rubber plate 6 and the second inner rubber plate 7 is 0.6-0.65 m, it is possible to obtain the result of exhibiting the best bullet collecting efficiency.
(70)
(71) Referring to
(72) Since the conventional indoor shooting ranges which are operated by the military unit and the police training center have used an iron plate beaten zone 120, in order to more easily apply the bullet collecting unit 130 of the bullet collecting system according to the present invention to the conventional indoor shooting ranges, it is preferable to utilize the iron plate beaten zone 120 equipments rather than removing the existing iron plate beaten zone, and further incorporate and install the bullet collecting unit 130. That is, as shown in
(73) For the conventional iron plate beaten zone 120, the conventional upper iron plate 122 and the conventional lower iron plate 121 have been installed in a state of being spread like a shape of > in order for the bullet 8 to collide with the iron plate and then not bounce off to the outside. That is, the conventional upper iron plate 122 has been configured such that the front end is connected to a ceiling. It has been installed in an inclined state so that the height is gradually increased toward the rear side of the indoor shooting range. Also, the conventional lower iron plate 121 has been configured such that the front end is fixed to the bottom surface 102 of the indoor shooting range 101. It has been installed in an inclined state so that the height is gradually increased toward the rear of the indoor shooting range. Consequently, the conventional upper iron plate 122 and the conventional lower iron plate 121 have been spread in a shape of >, just like opening the mouth, toward the firing position 106a, and the rear end of the iron plates 122, 121 are met and combined with each other at the rear end.
(74) In the present invention, the bullet collecting unit 3 is constructed of a stacked structure by stacking the bullet collecting boxes 1 in a vertical direction. Such a stacked structure of the bullet collecting boxes is spread in a horizontal direction (in a lateral direction) and installed like a kind of wall (see
(75) As the powder filling materials 9 which are filled in the bullet collecting box 1, materials such as rubber powders with a particle size of 0.1-3 mm can be used. In this case, even if the particle size of the filling materials is reduced, the bullet is not damaged during the collision and penetration of the bullet and thus, the collecting efficiency of the bullet can be increased. According to the experiment of the present inventors, when the used filling materials such as the rubber powders have the particle size of 1.5 mm or less, the collecting efficiency of the bullet exceeds 93%, thereby achieving excellent collecting efficiency of the bullet. The materials of the powder filling material 9 that can be used here include one or more materials selected from the group consisting of a rubber, a rubber, a synthetic rubber, a natural rubber, a pulverized material of waste tires, a carbon black, a silica and a silicon rubber material.
(76) On the other hand, it is possible to mix and use the powder fire-extinguishing agent components within the powder filling materials 9. When the powder fire-extinguishing agent is included in the powder filler 9 and filled in the bullet collecting box 1, there is an effect of quickly suppressing the fire by the fire protection function of the powder fire-extinguishing agent components even if the fire is generated due to the friction heat of the bullets 8 and the filling material 9. At this time, the weight of the powder fire-extinguishing agent mixed within the powder filling material 9 is preferably 2-10% of the total weight of the powder filling material 9.
(77) Referring to
(78) In the spray pipe 116, water is supplied by the water supply pipe 503. If the fire or smoke is detected by the fire detecting sensor 108, the control unit 506 operates an electric valve 504 and a water pump 501 to supply water to the water supply pipe 503.
(79) On the other hand, the water discharged from the spray pipe 116 is drained to the outside of the indoor shooting zone 101 via the drainage trench 105 formed immediately in front of the bullet collecting unit 130. The water thus discharged flows and gathers into the water collecting tank 50 through a drainage pipe 105a and a water inlet pipe 502. The water collecting tank 500 may be installed under the ground in the space of the indoor shooting range 101 or it may be installed adjacent to the outside of the building of the shooting range. In order to enable a natural drain flow of water, it is preferable that the water collecting tank 500 is buried in the ground.
(80) The water flown through the drainage trench 105 is gathered inside the water collecting tank 500. The water pump 501 is installed in the water, and water can be supplied to the water supply pipe 503 by the operation of the pump 501. The electric valve 504 is installed in the line of the water supply pipe 503, and contributes to the work where the water in the water collecting tank 500 is supplied or water is supplied from a separate water pipe and then sends to the water supply pipe 503. Therefore, the electric valve preferably takes the form of a three-way valve so that it can selectively bring to take the water in the water collection tank and the water in the water tank and send to the water supply pipe 503. The control unit 506 is electrically connected to the fire detecting sensor 60. When it detects that the fire or smoke has occurred in the bullet collecting space 130, the water pump 501 and the electric valve 504 are operated to discharge water through a spray pipe 116.
(81) At the moment of firing the gun 107, the ammunition of bullet burns to occur a gunpowder smoke, and even at the moment that the bullet penetrates into the rubber plates 4,6 of the bullet collecting boxes 1, the dust is generated. Therefore, if the gunpowder smoke and the dusts are left as they are, the air in the indoor shooting range is contaminated. This is not good for the health of people who participate in firing exercise. In order to solve such a problem, the bullet collecting system 100 according to the present invention further includes an air conditioning system capable of sucking up the air near the firing position 100 and in front of the bullet collecting unit 130 to forcibly discharge the air. That is, according to the present invention, the first air suction duct 71 is installed in a bottom surface 102 close to a blocking wall 106b of the firing position 106a, and the second air suction duct 72 is installed in a floor surface close to the target plate 9. The first air suction duct 71 and the second air suction duct 72 are long-extended along the width direction of the indoor shooting range (see
(82) In
(83) On the other hand, the bottom surface of the indoor shooting range 101 is preferably formed by a slope gradient surface 103 having a inclined angle of 1-5 so that the water can be naturally drained until the firing position 106a and the drainage trench 105.
(84) In
(85)
(86) In the present invention, it is preferable to use the rubber plate for conveyor belt having a thickness of 10 mm-25 mm which is mainly used as the front rubber plate 4 and the inner rubber plates 6,7 of the bullet collecting box 1. Such rubber plate for conveyor belt includes a fiber therein. Thus, only a small bullet hole is merely formed on the surface of the rubber plate during shooting and the rubber plate itself is not broken.
(87) Further, in order to experimentally confirm the durability of the front rubber plate 4 and the inner rubber plates 6,7 used in the present invention, it is preferable to first discharge about 100 to 200 bullets and then check the status of holes appeared on the front rubber plate 4 and the inner rubber plates 6,7. The bullet flown into the bullet collecting box 1 is stopped within the bullet collecting unit between the first inner rubber plate 6 and the second inner rubber plate 7. Therefore, in practice, the bullet does not collide with the second rubber plate 7, and it is normal that the damage of the second rubber plate 7 is not appeared. As a result of checking the status of the front rubber plate 4 and the first inner rubber plate 6, it could be confirmed that when using a soft rubber plate as compared with the standard, small holes are swelled up on the rubber plates, just like toad's shell.
(88)
(89)
(90) When eight lanes of fire are provided in the indoor shooting range as shown in
(91) On the other hand, since the bullet collecting unit 130 is divided into a plurality of the bullet collecting boxes 1, it enables the bullet to get truck in a certain bullet collecting box while positioning the target plate for each bullet collecting box, thereby managing the collection zone of bullets.
(92) For example, practically, the bullets will be mainly positioned at the bullet collecting boxes with two-step height and thus the bullets get intensively stuck in the bullet collecting boxes at that position. In a state where the bullets get intensively stuck in the two-step beaten zone 212, when performing the work of replacing the powder filling materials 9 of the bullet collecting boxes for the purpose of collecting bullets later, there is no need to replace the powder filling material 9 of the entire bullet collecting boxes 1 at the same time. For example, it is sufficient to replace only the powder filling materials 9 of the bullet collecting boxes belonging to the two-step beaten zone.
(93) According to the experiments of the present inventors, in the case of using the rubber plate material for conveyor belt as the front rubber plate 4 and setting the thickness of the rubber plate 4 to 15-20 mm, when 20,640 bullets were discharged per one lane of fire, the necessity to replace the rubber plate 4 has occurred. Therefore, it was judged that there is no need to replace the front rubber plate 4 and the powder filling material 9 until the bullets of 20,000 bullets per one lane of fire get stuck in the boxes. When reflecting such a degree of shooting amount to the current operation status of the indoor shooting range of the military unit, it could be confirmed that it is sufficient that the work to replace the front rubber plate 4 and the powder filling material 9 of the main fire impact point is performed in a cycle of about once every 6 months.

(98) The contaminated air within the indoor shooting range 101 generated by the gun fire is quickly discharged to the outside via the air discharge means in this way. On the other hand, there is a need to install an air supply means which supplies an external fresh air to the inside of the indoor shooting range 101. Wall surface 102a of the shooting range 101 can be provided with an air supply device 75a as many as the number required. The air supply device 75a is connected to an air supply duct 75 connected to an external ventilation fan (not shown) and thus the external fresh air can be given inside the indoor shooting range 101.
(99) Apart from this, in a case where the indoor shooting range is installed on the ground, it is desirable for the external air to naturally put into the room by installing a big door (102b) on the wall 102a and opening the door 102b.

(102) The counterterrorism training shooting range 101a shown in
(103) Since the conventional shooting range was not installed with bullet collecting equipments capable of installing slimly to the wall, there was no method for collecting and recovering bullets in the shooting range consisting of narrow passages such as counterterrorism shooting training range. However, according to the present invention, the bullet collecting boxes 1 can be stacked and installed in close contact with the inner portion 101b of the shooting range, thereby providing the advantage of allowing the bullet collection during anti-terrorism training.

(111) The vibrating hopper 313 is configured such that the upper opening is open at the top, and thus the bullet collecting box 1 can be placed thereon (see
(112) The circumference of the separating screen 314 is a border of metal or synthetic resin materials and combined with a screen frame 314a. As the screen frame 314a put on the inner surface of the vibrating hopper 313, the separating screen 314 is fixed to the inside of the vibrating hopper 313.
(113) The outside surface of the vibrating hopper 313 is combined with a plurality of hopper supports 315, and each of the hopper supports 315 is elastically supported by the lower supporting posts 310a through the buffer springs 316. Although the vibrating hopper 313 is violently vibrated by a vibrator 317, the vibration can be properly absorbed by the buffer springs 316.
(114) The vibrator 317 starts to vibrate when setting a power switch 319 to ON. The power switch 319 is connected to a power supply device 318 via a wire 318a. The power supply device 318 can supply the power from the vehicle battery 301a, or it can supply electricity by means of a separate generator engine.

(119) As set forth above, the bullet collecting box 1 according to the present invention can be installed with the indoor shooting range. For example, after a lapse of a period of time such as six months, the bullet collecting box 1 can easily collect the bullet and the powder filling materials using the separating apparatus such as the movable separating and collecting apparatus 310 (see
(120)
(121) The bullet collecting system for preventing occurrence of lead fume in the indoor shooting range according to the present invention is not necessarily limited only to the land indoor shooting range, and it can be installed in the inner space of a vessel such as a warship in order to increase the shooting techniques of naval soldiers. For example, the LST ship 600 is a ship for landing operations and has a large internal space 601, 602 that the tank, helicopter or the like may enter therein. These LST ships, if the used term expired and retired, are exported to Southeast Asian countries. If these retired waste ships are recycled and installed with the indoor shooting range having the bullet collecting system according to the present invention, it can be utilized as a place to perform the firing exercise of naval soldiers and special operations soldiers. Particularly, in the case of naval soldiers working on the ship, it is practically difficult to return to the land for only firing exercise and thus now it is substantially impossible to perform firing exercise. However, in terms of the current situation where the importance of the firing exercise in the naval combat is greatly increased, if the waste ships are installed with the indoor shooting range and utilized as the equipments for rifle shooting training of naval soldiers, it is expected to contribute significantly to the improvement of the combat strength of the Navy.

(126) Referring to
(127) Since the conventional indoor shooting ranges which are operated by the military unit, the police training center or the like have used an iron plate beaten zone 370, in order to more easily apply the bullet collecting unit 3 of the bullet collecting system according to the present invention to the conventional indoor shooting ranges, it is preferable to utilize and install the iron plate beaten zone 370 equipments, rather than removing the existing iron plate beaten zone 370, and additionally incorporate and install the bullet collecting unit 3. That is, as shown in
(128) For the conventional iron plate beaten zone 70, the conventional upper iron plate 37a and the conventional lower iron plate 37b have been installed in a state of being spread in a shape of > in order for the bullet 8 to collide with the iron plate and then not bounce off to the outside. That is, the conventional upper iron plate 37a has been configured such that the front end is connected to the ceiling. It has been installed in an inclined state so that the height is gradually increased toward the rear side of the indoor shooting range. Also, the conventional lower iron plate 37b has been configured such that the front end is fixed to the bottom surface 5 of the shooting range 2. It has been installed in an inclined state so that the height is gradually increased toward the rear side of the indoor shooting range. Consequently, the conventional upper iron plate 37a and the conventional lower iron plate 37b have been spread in a shape of >, just like opening the mouth, toward the firing position 106a, and the rear end of the iron plates 37a, 37b are met and combined with each other at the rear end.
(129) In order to make the bullet collecting space 300 of the bullet collecting unit 3 according to the invention, it is necessary to construct a closed space that can be placed by filling the powder filling materials 301. To this end, the beaten zone structure frame 30 (see
(130) According to the present invention, the bullet collecting space 300 of the bullet collecting unit 3 is prepared so that its cross-sectional structure is similar to the parallelogram. By maintaining the cross-sectional structure of the bullet collecting space 300 in this way, the bullet collecting space 300 can be minimized, and as a result, the amount of the powder filling material 301 to be filled into the bullet collecting space 300 can be minimized.
(131) Furthermore, according to the present invention, in order to minimize the replacement frequency of the powder filling materials 301 filled in the bullet collecting space 300, the bullet collecting space 300 is divided into up and down by installing the upper and lower bending plate 340 (
(132) As the powder filling materials 301, materials such as rubber powders with a particle size of 0.1-3 mm can be used. In this case, although the particle size of the filling materials is reduced, the bullet 8 is not damaged during the collision and penetration of the bullet 8 and thus, the collecting efficiency of the bullet can be increased. According to the experiment of the present inventors, when the filling materials such as the rubber powders have a particle size of 1.5 mm or less, the collecting efficiency of the bullet exceeds 93%, thereby achieving excellent collecting efficiency of the bullet. Further, the powder filling materials 9 that can be used here include one or more materials selected from the group consisting of a rubber, a synthetic rubber, a natural rubber, a pulverized material of waste tires, a carbon black, a silica and a silicon rubber material.
(133) On the other hand, it is possible to mix and use the powder fire-extinguishing agent components within the powder filling materials 301. When the powder fire-extinguishing agent is included in the powder filling material 301 and filled in the bullet collecting space 300, there is an effect of quickly suppressing the fire by the fire protection function of the powder fire-extinguishing agent components even if the fire is generated due to the friction heat of the bullet 8 and the filling material 301. At this time, the weight of the powder fire-extinguishing agent mixed within the powder filling material 301 is preferably set to 2-10% of the total weight of the powder filling material 301.
(134) Referring to
(135) The upper end of the bullet collecting space 300 is installed with a spray pipe 40 capable of spraying water, and the circumference of the spray pipe 40 is installed with a metal protective case 41 along the longitudinal direction, thereby preventing the spray pipe from being damaged due to impact with the bullet 8. On the other hand, the bottom plate of the protective case 41 is formed with a large number of holes 42 (
(136) In the spray pipe 40, water is supplied by the water supply pipe 503. If the fire or smoke is detected by the fire detecting sensor 60, the control unit 506 operates an electric valve 504 and a water pump 501 to supply water to the water water supply pipe 503.
(137) On the other hand, the water discharged by the spray pipe 40 is drained to the outside of the indoor shooting zone 2 via the drain trench 50 formed immediately in front of the bullet collecting unit 3. The water thus discharged flows and gathers into the water collecting tank 500 through a drainage pipe 51 and a water inlet pipe 502. The water collecting tank 500 may be installed under the ground in the space of the indoor shooting range 20 or it may be installed adjacent to the outside of the building of the shooting range. In order to enable natural draining flow of water, it is preferable that the water collecting tank 500 is buried in the ground.
(138) The water flown through the drainage trench 50 is gathered inside the water collecting tank 500. The water pump 501 is installed in the water, and water can be supplied to the water supply pipe 503 by the operation of the pump 501. The electric valve 504 is installed in the line of the water supply pipe 503, and contributes to the work where the water of the water collecting tank 500 is supplied or water is supplied from a separate water pipe and then sends to the water supply pipe 503. Therefore, the electric valve 506 preferably takes the form of a three-way valve so that it can selectively bring to take the water in the water collecting tank and the water in the water tank, and send to the water supply pipe 503. The control unit 506 is electrically connected to the fire detecting sensor 60. When it detects that the fire or smoke are generated in the bullet collecting space 130, the water pump 501 and the electric valve 504 are operated to discharge water through a spray pipe 40.
(139) At the moment of firing the gun 7, the ammunition of bullet burns to occur the smoke of gunpowder, and even at the moment that the bullet penetrates into the rubber plates 3a and enters into the bullet collecting space 300, the dust is generated. Therefore, if the gunpowder smoke and the dusts are left as they are, the air in the indoor shooting range 2 is contaminated. This is not good for the health of people who participate in a firing exercise. In order to solve such a problem, the bullet collecting system 1 according to the present invention further includes an air conditioning system capable of sucking up the air near the firing position 6a and in front of the bullet collecting unit 3 and forcibly discharging the air. That is, according to the present invention, the first air suction duct 71 is installed in a bottom surface 5a close to a blocking wall 6b of the firing position 6a, and the second air suction duct 72 is installed in a bottom surface 5a close to the target plate 9. The first air suction duct 71 and the second air suction duct 72 are long-extended along the width direction of the indoor shooting range 2. The upper surface of the air suction ducts 71, 72 is provided with a plurality of air suction devices 71a, 72a along its longitudinal direction. Therefore, the air contaminated inside the indoor shooting range 2 are forcibly discharged to the outside through the first and second air suction ducts 71, 72 immediately.
(140) In
(141) On the other hand, the bottom surface of the indoor shooting range 2 is preferably formed by a slope gradient surface 5a having an inclined angle of 1-5 so that the water can be naturally drained until the firing position 6a and the drainage trench 50.
(142) In
(143)
(144) On the other hand, the first lower fixing pipe 35a installed on the bottom surface 5 is combined with the lower end of the first inclined installation pipe 31, and the first upper fixing pipe 36a installed in the existing upper iron plate 37a is combined with the upper end of the first inclined installation pipe 31, whereby the first inclined installation pipe 31 is firmly supported by the bottom surface 5 and the upper iron plate 37a.
(145) Similarly, the upper end of the second inclined installation pipe 32 is combined to the second upper fixing pipe 36b fixed to the existing upper iron plate 37a, and the lower end thereof is combined with the second lower fixing pipe 35b fixed to the existing lower iron plate 37b, whereby the second inclined installation pipe 32 can also be firmly supported on the bottom surface 5 and the existing upper iron plate 37a.
(146) The fire prevention plate 320 is mounted on the upper end of the second inclined installation pipe 32 and then fixed by volts or other fastening means. If the surface toward the iron plate beaten zone 370 is clogged by the installation of the fire protection plate 320, the powder filling materials 301 (
(147) On the other hand, since the protective pad 305 is attached to the square pipes 30a (
(148) After the powder filling materials 301 are filled within the bullet collecting space 300, the front rubber plate 3a is installed on the first inclined installation pipes 31. The front rubber pipe 3a is installed in a manner of covering the rubber plates with a thickness of 15 mm-25 mm over the powder filling materials 301.
(149) The front rubber plate 3a is preferable that the thickness of the rubber plate is differently applied in response to the inclined angle with respect to the bottom surface 5. For example, if the installation angle of the front rubber plate 3a is 40-55, the thickness of the front rubber plate 3a is set to 12-20 mm, and if the installation angle of the front rubber plate 3a is greater than 55 and not more than 70, the thickness of the front rubber plate 3a is set to 15-22 mm, and if the installation angle of the front rubber plate 3a exceeds 70, the thickness of the front rubber plate 3a is preferably set to 17-25 mm. As the inclined angle of the front rubber plate 3a is lowered, the distance where the bullet penetrates into the rubber plate is increased. Therefore, it is preferable to set the thickness of the rubber plate to be relatively thin. In contrast, as an inclined angle of the front rubber plate 3a is increased, the distance where the bullet penetrates into the rubber plate is reduced. Therefore, it is preferable to set the thickness of the rubber plate to be thick. According to the experiment of the inventors, when the installation angle of the front rubber plate 3a is 45, the thickness of the rubber plate is set to 15 mm. When the installation angle of the front rubber plate 3a is 60, the thickness of the rubber plate 3a is set to 17-18 mm. When the installation angle of the rubber plate 3a is 80, the thickness of the rubber plate is preferably set to 20 mm.
