Abstract
A target throwing device having a base and a support rotatably mounted on the basis for swinging movement about an upright axis. A throwing arm is rotatably mounted on the support for throwing targets. Structure is provided for eccentrically swinging the support back and forth while throwing targets. A mechanism is connected within a first eccentric drive connection and is operative in response to movement of the first eccentric drive for superimposing an eccentric series of short back and forth swings on the support during each long swing of the support. A second eccentric drive transmits eccentric motion to the support through a member that is movable with respect to the guide mechanism.
Claims8
A target throwing device comprising a base;
- a support;
- means for mounting the support on the base for swinging movement about an upright axis;
- a target throwing arm rotatably mounted on a support;
- guide means connected to the support and mounted on the base and extending in the general direction the targets are to be thrown and adapted to transmit oscillatory motion to the support;
- drive means for operating the target throwing arm to throw targets;
- and eccentric drive means connecting the guide means and the support for eccentrically swinging the support about the upright axis said eccentric drive means includes a first eccentric means connection between the support and the guide means for swinging the support back and forth in long swings, and a second eccentric drive means connected within the first eccentric drive connection and operative in response to movement of the first eccentric drive means for superimposing an eccentric series of short back and forth swings on the support during each long swing said second eccentric drive means transmitting eccentric motion to the support through a member that is moveable with respect to the guide means.
