ABSTRACT:
A trap for receiving a projectile travelling along a substantially horizontal axis of travel at high velocity includes a pair of side walls, and primary, secondary and tertiary deflecting plates. The primary plate obliquely intersects the axis of travel of the projectile to downwardly deflect the projectile or particles thereof to approximately a second axis of travel. The secondary plate obliquely intersects the second axis of travel to further downwardly deflect the projectile or particles thereof to approximately a third axis of travel. The tertiary pate obliquely intersects the third axis of travel to further downwardly deflect the projectile or particles thereof to approximately a fourth axis of travel. Each deflection shows particle velocity. A bottom surface extends below the plates so that the plates, the sides and the bottom surface define a rectangular mouth for receiving the projectile and a chamber for containing the projectile or particles thereof. In another embodiment of the invention, a second primary plate slopes upwardly in relation to the first path of travel and has a leading edge substantially vertically aligned below the primary plate leading edge and a trailing edge forward of and at or above the level of the primary plate trailing edge. The second primary plate affords a trap of significantly less depth than the trap without such a plate for traps having substantially the same size rectangular mouth. In either embodiment, a tray along the back of the trap collects the trapped projectile or particles thereof.
