Abstract
Abstract Target-shooting dummy formed of elastic and rigid board material allowing a part of a dummy, consisting of two board elements of the material fastened together and parallel to one another, to be kept upright, even during movement, by attachment to the lower edge of the boards, the dummy being composed of two parts each consisting of two board elements fastened together at one end along a given length and at the other end bent apart against the elastic action of the material, and with the insides of their outer edges fastened to the corresponding insides of the outer edges of the two corresponding and similarly treated elements in the other part of the dummy.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 23
Claim 1
Independent Claim
161 words
A shooting dummy or target comprised of two parts, each of which includes: 1. two board elements; 2. said board elements constructed from a given material, 3. each of said board elements having a longitudinal and transverse axis, a. the longitudinal axis of said board elements terminating in two substantially transversely extending ends, b. the transverse axis of said board elements terminated in substantially longitudinally extending upper and lower edges; 4. said board elements being fastened together at one of said ends; 5. said elements being bent outwardly at the other of said ends to resist the elastic action of said board material, 6. the other of said ends having inner and outer edges, 7. said other of said ends further having the inner of said edges fastened to the corresponding inner edges of the two corresponding and similarly treated elements in the other part of the dummy, whereby the dummy, viewed from above, forms a figure substantially resembling an asteroid.
