An improved track-mounted movable target system is disclosed. Power is inductively transferred to a target carrier movable between first and second locations. The transferred power is used to power electrical equipment on board the target carrier. The electrical equipment may include electric motors, lights, solenoids, and control circuitry for the motors and solenoids. Preferred embodiments of the invention are implemented as track-based systems, as the track provides not only stability to the target carrier, but also protection from stray bullets to the conductive cable. For a first embodiment of the invention, power is transferred to a target carrier via a stationary inductor and a movable cable, which also provides motive force to the target carrier. For a second embodiment of the invention, power is transferred to a target carrier via a stationary cable and an inductor movable with the target carrier. For this second embodiment of the invention, electrical equipment on board the target carrier includes a drive motor for moving the carrier bidirectionally along the track. For both embodiments of the invention, communications with the target carrier may be achieved by modulating the frequency of the applied alternating current and demodulating it at the target carrier to provide control signals for control circuitry on board the target carrier. |

A mechanism is disclosed for presenting a multiplicity of targets to a shooter in a firing range. The mechanism has a plurality of generally planar targets, each attached to a crank arm which, in turn, is attached to an actuating device. The device has an extendable and retractable ram which causes the crank arm to pivot during extension or retraction such that the target is moved between a lowered position, in which it is not visible to the shooter, to a raised position in which the target is visible to the shooter. The mechanism includes a remote control device to actuate one or more of the targets to minimize the presence of any personnel in a downrange position. |

A trolley for moving along a mono-rail track comprising two superimposed tubes, the trolley being provided with means for carrying a target, and being further provided with pairs of drive wheels which are inwardly inclined to rest on upper parts of the lower tube forming the track, the pairs of drive wheels having a "V" configuration. Additional pairs of substantially horizontal wheels engage opposite sides of the lower tube below the drive wheels. The drive wheels are driven by individual hydraulic motors, connected in series, and the hydraulic circuit for controlling the motors can be operated to achieve a braking effect on the wheels. Jockey wheels engage the top tube of the track. An additional spring pressure applied, hydraulic pressure released brake acts on the upper tube. |

A target game can be constructed utilizing a support member and a transparent housing or cover mounted on the support member so as to enclose an elongated, enlarged area. A target is movably mounted on a guide rail within this area so as to be capable of being moved between the ends of a path. A spring is located on the support member for moving the target from adjacent to one end of the path to adjacent to the other end. An escapement structure consisting of parts mounted on the support and on the target controls such movement so that the target member only moves incrementally each time it is engaged by a projectile. A shooting structure is pivotally mounted on the support so as to be accessible from the exterior of the housing. This shooting structure includes a hollow tube within which there is carried a plunger capable of being manipulated so as to shoot projectiles. A feed passage leads into this tube for conveying projectiles into the interior of the tube when the shooting structure is pivoted so that this feed passage is aligned with a projectile feed channel located generally between the support member and the housing. |

A target shooting range having a designated shooter position, at least one target position and a target carrier system. The carrier system includes a rail extending between the shooter position and the target position with a movable target carrier mounted on the rail for movement between those two positions. The movable target carrier has a carriage portion comprising a wheeled vehicle and a lower target holder portion depending from the carriage portion. The lower target holder portion is movable to a retracted position as the carrier is being moved from the shooter position to a target position. Bullet deflection plates are suspended from the ceiling of the range beneath the carrier rail and have the function of protecting the upper carriage portion of the carrier from being struck and gradually destroyed by bullets fired from the shooter position. |

A target raising and lowering mechanism employs a torque tube and torsion bar combination to provide weatherproof housing for its electric motor and reduction gear means while also storing energy in the torsion bar during lowering of a target for later use during raising of the target.
