Abstract
A target mechanism for shooting at moving targets for a shooting range having a marksman's station and a target station, and a target cart which moves back and forth on a crossrail between two end positions. By remote control, including a longitudinal guide connected to a target conveyor, the marksman can, without assistance and without leaving his position at the marksman's station, operate the target cart, check his hits and change targets.
Claims13
A target mechanism for a shooting range having a marksman's station and a target station, comprising a transverse guide means mounted on the target station transversely of the line of fire, a target cart mounted for movement along the transverse guide means between two end positions, a transverse drive mechanism for moving the target cart in either direction on the transverse guide means, a motor for driving the transverse drive mechanism, a longitudinal guide means extending between the marksman's station and the target station adjacent to one end of the transverse guide means, a sliding carriage mounted for reciprocating movement along the longitudinal guide means from the target station and the marksman's station between two end positions, the sliding carriage being adapted to receive the target cart when it is in its one end position at the target station, a longitudinal drive mechanism connected with the sliding carriage for moving it along the longitudinal guide means between its two end positions, and a motor for driving the longitudinal drive mechanism.
