Abstract
Abstract A target made of interchangeable sections each comprising a multiplicity of membranes or plies of penetrable, elastomeric or resilient, tear resistant sheet resin material, the membranes being separated by intervening layers of porous or low density, resilient material such as foam resin material. Method and apparatus for making components for such targets are also disclosed.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
118 words
A method for making a board like element comprising a core assembly of resilient and porous layers with a surrounding envelope of flexible sheeting material, comprising feeding a web of sheeting material of greater width than the cross sectional perimeter of the core assembly, as the sheeting is fed laterally folding the sheeting to bring the opposite edges of the web adjacent to each other, progressively interconnecting said opposite edges as they are brought together to form an envelope, feeding the core assembly in confined laterally folded condition into said envelope, and advancing the envelope and the core assembly downstream of the point of interconnection of the edges of the sheeting with the core assembly in unconfined condition.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
118 words
A method for making a board like element comprising a core assembly of resilient and porous layers with a surrounding envelope of flexible sheeting material, comprising feeding a web of sheeting material of greater width than the cross sectional perimeter of the core assembly, as the sheeting is fed laterally folding the sheeting to bring the opposite edges of the web adjacent to each other, progressively interconnecting said opposite edges as they are brought together to form an envelope, feeding the core assembly in confined laterally folded condition into said envelope, and advancing the envelope and the core assembly downstream of the point of interconnection of the edges of the sheeting with the core assembly in unconfined condition.
Claim 3
Independent Claim
191 words
A method for making a tongue and groove board like component comprising preforming a plurality of board like elements by conjointly feeding a core of resilient and porous resin material together with a web of flexible resin sheeting material of greater width than the cross sectional perimeter of the core, as the sheeting is fed laterally folding the sheeting to bring the opposite edges of the web adjacent to each other, progressively interconnecting said opposite edges as they are brought together to form an envelope surrounding the core, feeding the core in confined laterally folded condition into said envelope, advancing the assembly of the envelope and the core downstream of the point of interconnection of the edges of the sheeting with the core in unconfined condition, and cutting the assembly to predetermined lengths to form said board like elements, assembling at least three of such elements in stacked relation with the edge of an intermediate element projecting beyond the edges of adjacent elements and thereby provide an assembly of tongue and groove configuration, and securing the assembly of stacked elements together to form the desired tongue and groove board like component.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
191 words
A method for making a tongue and groove board like component comprising preforming a plurality of board like elements by conjointly feeding a core of resilient and porous resin material together with a web of flexible resin sheeting material of greater width than the cross sectional perimeter of the core, as the sheeting is fed laterally folding the sheeting to bring the opposite edges of the web adjacent to each other, progressively interconnecting said opposite edges as they are brought together to form an envelope surrounding the core, feeding the core in confined laterally folded condition into said envelope, advancing the assembly of the envelope and the core downstream of the point of interconnection of the edges of the sheeting with the core in unconfined condition, and cutting the assembly to predetermined lengths to form said board like elements, assembling at least three of such elements in stacked relation with the edge of an intermediate element projecting beyond the edges of adjacent elements and thereby provide an assembly of tongue and groove configuration, and securing the assembly of stacked elements together to form the desired tongue and groove board like component.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
28 words
A method as defined in claim 2 in which the stacked elements of the assembly are secured together by heat sealing adjacent end portions thereof to each other.
