The present invention is a portable pneumatic target device for raising and lowering a target. With the target raising and lowering device of the present invention, a target can be selectively stopped at any point of extension or retraction. The target raising and lowering device of the present invention includes a support frame secured to a base, a horizontal target carrier assembly mounted to the support frame and moveable on the frame, and an air actuated cylinder operably attached to the target carrier assembly. The target is mounted to the target carrier assembly and is raised and lowered through the action of the air actuated cylinder. |

A target system having a plurality of flat target boards mounted on posts which are rotatably journaled on an elongated base. Each post is rotatable ninety degrees. A drive crank arm is pivoted to the base for horizontal swinging movement and is pivotally connected to an elongated drive and synchronizing bar which in turn is pivotally connected to a plurality of lever arms connected to the respective posts to swing the target boards simultaneously between full view positions easily visible to a shooter, and edge view positions not visible to the shooter. A superior degree of reliability results from optionally selectible, multiple power drives applied to the single drive crank arm. Optional, ground-supported and overhead-supported embodiments are disclosed. In the embodiments shown, two drives with completely different power sources are shown, one being fluid pressure, the other being electricity. These are in a compact, over-and-under relation. Separate release mechanisms are provided for the two power drives to prevent either drive from restricting movement of the target boards when the other drive is activated. One release mechanism is adjustable to release the electrical power drive when the target boards are swung by the fluid pressure power drive, and another release mechanism is adjustable to release the fluid pressure power drive when the target boards are swung by the electrical power drive. |

An automatic target holder is provided for positioning targets for projectiles at a location remote from a shooter. The target holder includes a housing having a relatively low silhouette and a target support removably mounted upon the housing for positioning a target in a substantially planar firing position normal to a path of a projectile fired by the shooter. A target drive mechanism is located within the housing and is remotely operable by the shooter to advance a target roll to move a new target into the firing position. The target support structure and the housing is oriented outboard of the target in the firing position providing an unobstructed path for the projectile as it passes through the target. The preferred embodiment is provided with a target illumination panel positioned behind the target and shiftable between an inactive position out of the projectile path and an active position behind the target in order to increase the visibility of the projectile holes formed in the target. |

The present invention is directed to an automated target range system having a self-propelled carriage assembly that is moveable upon an overhead track that further provides a way to provide power and data information between the self-propelled carriage assembly and control units in order to efficiently operate the system individually or sequentially though a wide variety of operations that are necessary in today's target ranges. |

The combat target of the invention, in contrast to the prior art drop or fall targets, is capable of automatically indicating a number of target hits occurring time wise in succession, without there being necessary, after each hit, manual resetting of the target. For this purpose, the target image is rigidly coupled for rotation at a power take-off shaft of a force or power storage means, the power take-off shaft being essentially vertically disposed when the target is in its erect position. The storage capacity of the force storage means is adequate for accomplishing a number of revolutions of the power take-off shaft. A stop or impact arrangement, in its engaged or effectual position, prevents rotation of the power take-off shaft as long as there is no target hit, but upon occurrence of a target hit is temporarily brought out of such engaged or effective position. |

A target system for use with spring, air, and CO.sub.2 operated pistols and rifles and with slingshots. The target system prevents ricochets by use of a flexible backstop suspended within a housing while permitting the shooter and spectators to easily discern where the projectiles have penetrated a target which is disposed across the front of this housing. The system utilizes supports incorporated into the housing to receive tubes upon which the target is wound for easy movement and removal of used targets and installation of a new roll of targets to replace a used roll. Each individual target on the roll is indexed to a display position by hand winding of the tubes. A locking mechanism incorporated into the supports cooperates with the tubes and wound target material to tautly position each target in the target opening. A chamber in the base of the apparatus entraps projectiles, permitting collection and removal without damage for reuse. |

A target changer for use on a shooting range which after each actuation by an operator automatically removes a used target from a window in the target stand and brings a fresh target into the window. The target changer is designed to change individual targets which are not joined together. A supply magazine disposed above the window receives a stack of targets, and a first feed mechanism conveys the frontmost target of the stack to a vertical target guide disposed behind the window, while a second feed mechanism disposed at the lower end of the target guide conveys the used target from the target guide to a used target receiver. In some embodiments additional advancing rollers are arranged on both sides of the target guide to ensure a forced transport of the targets between the two feed mechanisms, whereby jamming is avoided.The target changer can be adapted to targets of different sizes by means of inserts which are inserted into the target window. These inserts may also be provided with additional advancing rollers. |

A target carrier system including a target carrier which is mounted for longitudinal movement along a track and which has means for manipulating the target. The target carrier includes a target turner motor which is moved with the target along the carrier track by means of a cable drive system. The cable drive system includes a housing which supports a cable spool on a threaded shaft. The shaft is fixedly positioned within the housing, and means are provided to rotate the cable spool, thereby allowing the spool to translate along the threaded shaft. The threaded shaft is positioned generally perpendicularly of the carrier track so that the cable spool is translated in such a manner as to allow a cable to unwind from the spool at a point which is generally fixed with respect to the track. The cable which drives the target carrier is wound about the cable spool, and a loop portion of the cable extends along the length of the track and is fixed to the target carrier to move the same as the spool rotates. This cable is an electrical conductor and is coated with an electrical insulating material to allow the conductor to act both as the drive force for the target carrier and also as the power line to the target turner motor. The carrier track also has an insulation lining which acts to insulate and guide the cable in its sliding movement along the track.
