Device for the launching and automatic reloading of clay pigeons

摘要

The device is designed for the launching of clay pigeons and consists of a body, housing a launching mechanism including motor 47 and leaf spring 38, a container 5 moveably attached to the body by means of a base, a launching arm 30 controlled by a launching mechanism, and a launching shoot 20. The container is controlled by parts actuating circular movement at pre-determined angles, while the shoot is controlled by vertically moving parts including a pin 24 and slot 22 which determine upward movement, these bring the shoot 20 into a raised position close to the lower surface of the base, before a clay pigeon is transferred from the container to the shoot beneath it, which shoot 20 is subsequently lowered as indicated by arrows H, K respectively.
