Remote controlled target changer for shooting practice - contains electrically powered motor driving rollers to position new target on front panel of cabinet and store used target

摘要

An opening is provided in the front face (2) of the cabinet (1). Its dimensions are slightly greater than those of a target, and access is gained through doors in the rear face. The targets are stacked on a platform on two slides in the upper purt of the cabinet. A spring (16) pushes the platform upwards for removal and reloading with targets. A friction roller pushes a target from the stack and between two other rollers which drive it into a channel. This feeds the target to the opening where it is located in a section of a wooden panel. A detector above the opening senses its passage to switch off a motor driving the rollers via a belt. Behind the wood panel is a compartment where the bullets are retrieved from a drawer. A control button operated by the user enables the motor to be controlled to replace the target. The used target is driven by rollers and a belt to a storage basket.
