Abstract
A target launching machine for skeet shooting including a launching device, an accumulator device, a triggering device capable of loading the accumulator device and of releasing it to project the target and a preloader device capable of adjusting a preload of the accumulator device, wherein the preloader device includes a linear actuator and flexible transmission member connecting the linear actuator to the accumulator device.
Claims12
A machine for launching at least one target, comprising:
- a launching device comprising
- a rotary projection arm capable of projecting at least one target,
- an accumulator device comprising
- a spring including a first end being secured to a proximal end of the projection arm, a triggering device capable, in a first step, of displacing the proximal end of the projection arm and the first end of the spring by loading the spring so as to accumulate an elastic energy and, in a second step, of releasing the proximal end of the projection arm, which under an action of the spring releasing the previously accumulated elastic energy, is configured to project said at least one target, and
- a preloader device capable of adjusting a preload of the spring by displacing a second end of the spring, wherein the preloader device comprises
- a linear actuator and a flexible transmission member connecting the linear actuator to the second end of the spring.
