Self-regeneration ballistic projectile-arrester
First Claim
1. A self-regeneration ballistic porjectile-arrester comprising a heap (2) of granulated material for taking up the kinetic energy of projectiles and a regeneration/recovery system for said granular material, comprising(a) a plurality of means (6) for conveying said material towards a separation zone (7);
- (b) means for separating said material from exploded projectiles embedded therein; and
(c) means (8,
9) for delivering said granular material, separated from said projectiles, above said heap;
(d) said projectile-arrester comprising two belts (4,
5) moving in opposite and converging directions for supporting said heap and for conveying said material form the heap towards said conveying means (6), said belts being inclinable with respect to a firing plane of said projectiles and being spaced and opposite to one another under said heap, with their longitudinal axes parallel to a firing axis.

Abstract
A self-regeneration ballistic projectile-arrester, suitable for small arms indoor firing ranges comprises granulated material in form of a heap, to absorb the kinetic energy of the fired projectiles. A pair of belts moving in opposite and converging directions, and being inclinable with respect to the firing plane and being spaced from and opposite to one another, are arranged as supports at the bottom of the material heap with their longitudinal axis parallel to the firing axis, for conveying the material towards a zone where it is separated from the exploded projectiles. The regenerated material is then carried onto the top of the heap for recycling.
