Abstract
1434705 Target throwing apparatus J-M LAPORTE and J-C LAPORTE 27 June 1974 [17 July 1973] 28578/74 Heading A6D An apparatus for spring-powered launching of targets such as clay pigeons has a freelyrotating throwing arm 13 that is secured to one of a shaft 12 in a bearing 11 and which is automatically cooked after each firing by an electric motor 6 which also initiates firing, control circuits being provided to power the motor until the arm becomes cocked and again when firing is reguired. The shaft 12 has a crank 19 at one end, the crank pin 20 being connected to a spring 24 whose tension is adjustable. The motor 6 has a reduction gear (7) whose output shaft 8 is coaxial with shaft 12 and which carries a crank 9 whose pin 10 has the same radius as the pin 20 and links the motor to shaft 12 when engaging pin 20. Power is supplied to the motor in response to a solenoid 52 which may be activated by either of two circuits, the first including a switch 32 that is normally closed to power the motor, but which is opened by a projection 31 on the crank 19 when the arm reaches the cocked position, the second including a push-button 56 that is normally open and which is used to activate the motor to initiate firing; each circuit also includes a cut-out switch 57 and 55. The cooked position of the arm is that just before the spring 24 produces maximum tension, its line of action being close to the axis of the shafts 8 and 12 on that side in which the spring pulls crank pin 20 against pin 10. In this position the arm remains held against the motor mechanism until firing when further rotation of the motor moves the line of action beyond the axis of the shafts and allows the spring to rotate the freely-pivoted arm. This firing action allows switch 32 to close so that the motor continues to rotate until the arm is once more moved to the cooked position. Automatic feeding of the targets from a distributor 38 is linked to the rotation of crank 9.
