MULTI-LAYERED MULTI-SPECTRAL TARGET FOR RIFLES

Abstract

A multi-layered, multi-spectral target for rifles. The multi-layered target comprises a first layer printed rifle target having at least one target position on a first surface and a light reflective film surmounted on a second surface of the first layer printed rifle target. There is a cutout silhouette layer surmounted on the light-reflective film wherein the light reflective film shows through the cutout silhouette.

Claims

1. A multi-layered, multi-spectral target for rifles, said multi-layered target comprising: A) a first layer printed rifle target having at least one target position on a first surface; B) a light reflective film surmounted on a second surface of said first layer printed rifle target; C) a cutout silhouette layer surmounted on said light reflective film wherein said light reflective film shows through said cutout silhouette.

2. A multi-layered, multi-spectral target for rifles as claimed in claim 1 wherein said multi-layered target is laminated on both surfaces with a transparent plastic.

3. A multi-layered, multi-spectral target for rifles as claimed in claim 2 wherein said plastic lamination is waterproof.

4. A multi-layered, multi-spectral target for rifles as claimed in claim 1 wherein said multi-spectral target has an overall size ranging from 6×4 inches to 14×10 inches.

5. A multi-layered, multi-spectral target for rifles as claimed in claim 1 wherein the multi-layered target has a thickness ranging from 0.5 mm to 3.0 mm.

6. A multi-layered, multi-spectral target for rifles as claimed in claim 1 wherein said plastic lamination is electrically non-conductive.

7. A multi-layered, multi-spectral target for rifles as claimed in claim 1 wherein said cutout silhouette has variable designs.

8. A multi-layered, multi-spectral target for rifles as claimed in claim 1 wherein said cutout silhouette is colored.

9. A multi-layered, multi-spectral target for rifles as claimed in claim 8 wherein said cutout silhouette is black.

10. A multi-layered, multi-spectral target for rifles as claimed in claim 4 wherein said cutout silhouette is dark green.

Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0018] FIG. 1 illustrates a multi-layered device of this invention.

[0019] FIG. 2A illustrates one pattern for the cutout silhouette portion of this invention.

[0020] FIG. 2B illustrates another potential pattern for the cutout silhouette portion of this invention.

[0021] FIG. 2C illustrates yet another potential pattern for the cutout silhouette portion of this invention.

[0022] FIG. 3 illustrates a multiple layered device of this invention with laminating layers on each outside surface separated for clarity.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0023] FIG. 1 is an edge view of the multi-layered device 1 of this invention. Shown is the first layer printed rifle target 2 and the light reflective film 3 surmounted on a second surface of the first layer printed rifle target 2. There is a cutout silhouette layer 4 surmounted on the light reflective film 3. As shown in FIGS. 2A, 2B, and 2C, the cutout silhouette layer 4 can have just about any pattern that the user desires. The pattern provides for multiple target zeros. In one use, the first layer printed rifle target 2 can be used as a standard rifle target.

[0024] In another use, the other surface, showing the light reflective film 3 and the cutout silhouette layer 4 can be used with a thermal rifle scope and can even be used after dark. With a target of this type, the emissivity of the light reflective film 3 is much larger than the emissivity of the cutout silhouette layer 4 and the difference can be very small.

[0025] It is contemplated within the scope of the invention to laminate the multi-layered device 1 with transparent plastic coverings 5 and 6 on both sides of the device 1.

[0026] FIG. 3 shows a device 1 with the laminate covers 5 and 6.

[0027] The main object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved target for use with rifles. Another object would be to provide such a target that is very simple to construct and very inexpensive and does not require a coating material and the relevant disadvantages in using the same.

[0028] In addition, it is an object of this invention to provide for a light weight, easily deployable target without of use of special tools or transport equipment.
