bullet trap with inclined plates

Abstract

A bullet trap 1 with grid-like shaping including inclined plates 2. Each inclined plate is shaped with a downward bent edge 4 in the rear longitudinal side. The plates are angled downwards in such a way that a bullet that hits the underside of a plate slides along the surface of the plate before it continuous into the interior of the bullet trap, which decreases the kinetic power compared to previously known bullet traps. Kinetic energy in the bullet is absorbed by the inclined plate to a larger extent than when using previously known bullet traps.

1 . A bullet trap ( 1 ) with a plurality of inclined plates, arranged in sections, where of each short side of each plate is arranged a standing suspension arrangement which is connected with a rear wall ( 6 ) characterized by that the bullet trap is grid-like; that the inclined plates ( 2 ) have a downward bent rear longitudinal edge ( 4 ); that each short side ( 8 ) of the inclined plates ( 2 ) in one section is arranged a mounting pole ( 3 ), which constitutes the suspension arrangement, placed standing at the side of the plates ( 2 ) in the section; the inclined plates ( 2 ) are mounted such that a bullet shot straight towards the side of the bullet trap ( 1 ) that is turned towards the shooting direction ( 10 ) intends to hit the underside ( 2   a ) of an inclined plate to subsequently slide along the underside ( 2   a ) of the inclined plate towards the downward bent rear edge ( 4 ). 
     
     
         2 . The bullet trap according to  claim 1 , characterized by that the number of inclined plates ( 2 ) is at least 15 for a section of the bullet trap with a height corresponding to 1 meter. 
     
     
         3 . The bullet trap according to  claim 1 , characterized by that the sides ( 3   a ) on the mounting poles ( 3 ) in which the plates are mounted are connected in a V-like profile, where the tip of the V-like profile is turned towards the shooting direction ( 10 ). 
     
     
         4 . The bullet trap according to  claim 3 , characterized by that each of the sides ( 3   a ) in the V-like profile includes inclined indentations for mounting of the plates ( 2 ). 
     
     
         5 . The bullet trap according to  claim 4 , characterized by that the main part of each mounted inclined plate is directed at an angle of 30 degrees +/−10 degrees against the level of the floor. 
     
     
         6 . The bullet trap according to  claim 4 , characterized by that the indentations in each pole are shaped in such a way that there is at least 1 mm play for respective inclined plate to vibrate in. 
     
     
         7 . The bullet trap according to  claim 1 , characterized by that that an oblong angled plate ( 9 ) is placed in front of each mounting pole, the oblong angled plate ( 9 ) has a V-like profile. 
     
     
         8 . The bullet trap according to  claim 4 , characterized by that each mounting pole ( 3 ) is connected with the front wall ( 7 ) with two narrowly shaped tightening devices ( 5 ) arranged the upper and the lower part, respectively, of the mounting pole ( 3 ). 
     
     
         9 . The bullet trap according to  claim 8 , characterized by that the tightening devices ( 5 ) are arranged the oblong angled plate ( 9 ) which with a pressing power, transmitted by the tightening devices ( 5 ), intends to prevent the plates from sliding out of the indentations on the side of the mounting pole ( 3 ). 
     
     
         10 . The bullet trap according to  claim 1 , characterized by that the bullet trap is arranged in a shooting casing. 
     
     
         11 . A shooting range including a bullet trap according to  claim 1 , characterized by that the shooting range is arranged in a house adapted for shooting. 
     
     
         12 . A shooting range according to  claim 11 , characterized by that the house is soundproofed by including sound-absorbing material in the house. 
     
     
         13 . The bullet trap according to  claim 2 , characterized by that the sides ( 3   a ) on the mounting poles ( 3 ) in which the plates are mounted are connected in a V-like profile, where the tip of the V-like profile is turned towards the shooting direction ( 10 ). 
     
     
         14 . The bullet trap according to  claim 5 , characterized by that the indentations in each pole are shaped in such a way that there is at least 1 mm play for respective inclined plate to vibrate in. 
     
     
         15 . The bullet trap according to  claim 4 , characterized by that that an oblong angled plate ( 9 ) is placed in front of each mounting pole, the oblong angled plate ( 9 ) has a V-like profile.
