Abstract
A machine for launching targets including a base on which there is arranged an assembly having a launching mechanism and a drum for storing targets, assembly being configured so as to be able to move relative to the base, the machine including a tilting device that allows the assembly to move relative to the base, the tilting device having on one hand a first portion connected to the base and having one from among a curved rail and an element for guiding of the rail in a single degree of freedom of tilting along the rail, and on the other hand a second portion connected to the assembly and having the other from among the rail and the guiding element, wherein it comprises a pivot connection about a rotation axis A2 between the second portion and the rest of the assembly.
Claims11
A target launching machine comprising:
- a base on which there is arranged an assembly comprising:
- a launching mechanism and a drum for storing targets, the assembly being movable relative to the base,
- a tilting device configured to allow the assembly to move relative to the base, the tilting device comprising:
- a first portion connected to the base and comprising one from among:
- a curved rail;
- and
- a guiding element for guiding of the curved rail in a single degree of freedom of tilting along the curved rail;
- and
- a second portion connected to the assembly and comprising the other from among:
- the curved rail;
- and
- the guiding element;
- and
- a first pivot connection about a rotation axis A2 between the second portion and of the assembly wherein the first pivot connection includes:
- a fixed base relative to the second portion and a turret adjustable in rotation with a second pivot connection on the fixed base and
- wherein the turret includes a movable base extending parallel to an upper face of the fixed base and two side uprights fixed on the movable base and carrying the launching mechanism and the drum, wherein the first and second pivot connection are different.
A target launching machine, comprises:
- a base;
- an assembly arranged on the base and being movable relative to the base, the assembly includes:
- a launching mechanism;
- and
- a drum for storing targets,
- a tilting device configured to allow the assembly to move relative to the base, the tilting device includes:
- a first portion connected to the base and including one of:
- a curved rail;
- and
- a guiding element for guiding of the curved rail in a single degree of tilting freedom along the curved rail;
- and
- a second portion connected to the assembly and including one of:
- the curved rail in response to the first portion including the guiding element;
- and
- the guiding element in response to the first portion including the curved rail;
- and
- a first pivot connection about a rotation axis between the second portion and the assembly wherein the first pivot connection includes:
- a fixed base relative to the second portion;
- and
- a rotationally adjustable turret with a second pivot connection on the fixed base;
- and
- wherein the rotationally adjustable turret includes a movable base extending parallel to an upper face of the fixed base and two side uprights fixed on the movable base and carrying the launching mechanism and the drum, wherein the first and second pivot connection are different.
