Device for event representations in duel shooting

Abstract

The invention relates to a device for event representation in duel shooting. Known devices have the disadvantage that, in order to practice duel shooting, it is always necessary to modify a shooting range. The aim of the invention is to create a device for duel shooting which does not require complicated modification of a shooting range. This aim is achieved according to the invention in that a visualizing unit is provided for representing events, which is positionable within the range of perception of the marksman's eye.

Claims

1. A device for representing shooting periods and waiting times in duel shooting, wherein a visualizing unit is provided for representing the shooting periods and the waiting times, wherein the visualizing unit is fastenable to a piece of equipment in the immediate vicinity of the marksman during firing, but not positioned between the marksman's eye and the target, wherein the visualizing unit is configured to represent the shooting periods and the waiting times within the range of perception of the marksman's eye, wherein a microphone and evaluating electronics are integrated in the visualizing unit, wherein the microphone is configured to detect the shot dispensed, and wherein the evaluating electronics are configured to determine the time between commencement of the shooting period and firing of the shot.

2. The device according to claim 1, wherein the piece of equipment is a target viewing glass.

3. The device according to claim 1, wherein the piece of equipment is a hearing protector worn by the marksman.

4. The device according to claim 3, wherein the marksman's hearing protector has a socket into which a plug of the visualizing unit can be inserted.

5. The device according to claim 1, wherein the visualizing unit is mounted on a flexible support element.

6. The device according to claim 1, wherein the visualizing unit can be fastened to shooting glasses.

7. The device according to claim 1, wherein the visualizing unit is provided additionally with an acoustic signal transmitter.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

(1) An embodiment of the invention is explained below by reference to drawings.

(2) The drawing in

(3) FIG. 1 shows a visualizing unit according to the invention, attached to a hearing protector;

(4) FIG. 2 shows the hearing protector with the visualizing unit detached;

(5) FIG. 3 shows a target viewing glass with the visualizing unit fastened thereto; and

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

(7) As shown in FIG. 1, a visualizing unit 1 is fastened to a hearing protector 2 for a marksman. In order to adapt the visualizing unit 1 to the physiognomy of the marksman in question, the visualizing unit is mounted on a flexible support element 3, thereby enabling the marksman to position the visualizing element 1 to suit his personal requirements.

(8) FIG. 2 shows the hearing protector with the visualizing unit detached, with the latter shown in enlarged form.

(9) In the embodiment described here, the hearing protector 2 has a socket 4 into which a plug 5 at the opposite end of the flexible support element 3 to the visualizing unit 1 can be inserted. The electrical power supply and the digital electronics for the visualizing unit 1, and maybe a supplementary acoustic signal transmitter, may be located in the area of the hearing protector 2. Finally, a microphone and evaluating electronics may be accommodated in the hearing protector.

(10) If the marksman wishes to practice duel shooting, he inserts the plug 5 of the visualizing unit 1 into the socket 4 of the hearing protector 2, positions the visualizing unit 1 such that it is still just in his field of vision and switches on the visualizing unit 1, for example by way of a remote control or a switch in the vicinity of the hearing protector 2. The visualizing unit 1 then signalizes the firing periods and the waiting times by means of brightness changes, colour signals or other signalspossibly supplemented by a simultaneous acoustic signal. The dispensed shot is detected via the microphone and the time between commencement of the firing period and firing of the shot determined by means of the evaluating electronics.

(11) The duel practicing unit is thus installed and operated in the immediate vicinity of the marksman, enabling him to practice duel shooting at any time and at any desired shooting range without disturbing another marksman standing beside him.

(12) FIG. 3 shows a target viewing glass 25 with the visualizing unit 1 fastened thereto via a fastener 3.

(13) FIG. 4 shows sighting glasses 18 with a visualizing unit 1 fastened thereto via a fastener 3.
