Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an air target firing structure and particularly to an automatic clay target firing structure for consecutively discharging clay targets upwards in the air for use in clay target shooting sport.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Conventional clay target shooting sport usually has one person manually firing clay targets in the air to enable another person to shoot the clay targets. The number of clay targets being shot down is counted in the scores of the game. Such an approach cannot provide stable firing time and height for the clay targets. Moreover, with one person taking care of firing the clay targets while another person shooting, the game is dull. It cannot create the excitement of consecutive shooting.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Therefore the primary object of the invention is to provide an automatic and consecutive target firing structure for consecutively discharging clay targets in the air from varying spots at selected speeds to reach selected heights without skewing to allow one or more person to participate shooting.
The foregoing, as well as additional objects, features and advantages of the invention will be more readily apparent from the following detailed description, which proceeds with reference to the accompanying drawings.

297
in the target barrel
29
move downwards, the clay target
297
at the bottom is held by the lower bracing plate
295
B of the brake lever
293
B; when the lower wing
34
of the pillar
30
A rotates again, it presses the lug
294
B on the outer wall of the barrel seat
291
inwards; the bracing plate
295
B moves outwards in the opposite direction to allow the clay target
297
at the bottom to drop on the left side of the sway plate
12
above the platform
22
, and the annular latch teeth
298
at the bottom of the clay target
297
couple with the opening
127
of the axle hub
126
; when the spindle
3
of the second driving source
2
moves upwards, the teeth section
4
at the upper end of the spindle
3
couples with the annular latch teeth
298
to drive the clay target
297
to rotate (referring to
FIGS. 6A
,
6
B and
6
C).
Similarly, when the second gear rack
114
of the rotary disk
11
is engaged with the second gear
32
of the pillar
30
B, the upper and lower wings
33
and
34

297
at the bottom of the target barrel
29
to drop into the opening
127
of the axle hub
126
at the right side of the sway plate
12
; when the sway plate
12
swivels to the right side to hold the clay target
297
from the target barrel at the right side, the axle hub
126
at the left side of the sway plate
12
holds the clay target
297
and is moved to the center of the target firing space
28
(as shown in
FIG. 7A
) to engage with the spindle
3
of the second driving source
2
and be driven to rotate (as shown in FIG.
7
B); the clay target
297
may fly upwards as shown in
FIG. 7C
; the sway plate
12
then moves to the left side again, and the axle hub
126
at the right side of the sway plate
12
has held the next clay target
297
from the target barrel
29
at the right side and moves to the center of the target firing space
28
of the target deck
25
to wait the lifting spindle
3
of the second driving source
2
to drive and rotate the clay target
297
in the axle hub
126
.
As the transmission gear
123
at the lower side of the sway plate
12
is engaged with and driven by the third gear rack
115
of the rotary disk
11
, and the transmission disk
124
also is driven to rotate, the push bar
128
at the top section can push the rocker arm
121
to move left and right. The rocker arm
121
is fastened to the sway plate
12
through the strut
222
, thus the sway plate
12
also is swiveled left and right. When the strut
222
moves to the left end of the slot
221
, the axle hub
126
on the right side of the sway plate
12
carries the clay target
297
to the center of the opening
23
of the platform
22
(referring to
FIG. 6A
) to be coupled with and driven by the lifting spindle
3
of the second driving source
2
. Moreover, in order to control the rocker arm
121
to move to the left and right side at the precise angle so that the sway plate
12
may be swiveled to the left and right side to hold the clay target
297
at the desired time and position, every time the third gear rack
115
is engaged with the transmission gear
123
, the brake section
119
at the front end of the third gear rack
115
will first hit the disk wing
125
, then calibrate the position of the transmission gear
123
to enable the third gear rack
115
to engage with the transmission gear
123
at the same position every time.
Meanwhile, the two ramp flanges
116
A and
116
B above the rotary disk
11
are turned to the turning wings
45
at the left and right side of the lifting unit
40
as shown in
FIG. 6B
, the turning wings
45
are moved upwards along the sloped edge of the ramp flanges
116
A and
116
B, and the elastic element
44
on the vertical strut
41
is compressed by the lifting tube
43
, and the spindle
3
of the second driving source
2
is moved upwards at the same time, the teeth section
4
at the top end of the spindle
3
engages with the latch teeth
298
at the bottom of the clay target
297
. Once the teeth section
4
of the spindle
3
is coupled with the latch teeth
298
of the clay target
297
, the front end of the bucking member
118
A at the bottom of the rotary disk
11
hits the trigger section
66
at the inner side of the rotary member
62
of the trigger unit
60
, and the actuating end
63
on the outer side of the rotary member
62
is turned outwards to push the inner conductive reed
64
to contact the outer conductive reed
65
to form a conductive circuit to activate the second driving source
2
, and the spindle
3
of the second driving source
2
may rotate rapidly to drive the clay target
297
to rotate and generate a thrust to fly upwards.
Referring to
FIG. 8A
, before the clay target
297
rotates, the actuator
117
A at the top side of the rotary disk
11
is moved by the rotary disk
11
to push the rotary wing
51
of the control unit
50
, and the second end
52
B of the rotary wing
51
rotates clockwise to press the rocker arm
53
to make its top end moving outwards, the bridging member
54
is turned to move the control bar
55
which is pivotally engaged with the upper end of the bridging member
54
downwards. The pressing end
551
of the control bar
55
is moved above the center of the clay target
297
to prevent the clay target
297
from flying upwards before reaching the full speed to ensure that the clay target
297
can fly to a desired height. It also can prevent the mismatch between the clay target
297
and the spindle
3
of the second driving source
2
to avoid skew flying.
When the actuator
117
A is turned away from the first end
52
A of the rotary wing
51
, the second end
52
B of the rotary wing
51
loses thrust power, the restoring spring
57
immediately returns to its original form to pull the control bar
55
to its original position. Once the control bar
55
is moved away from the upper side of the clay target
297
, the clay target
297
is freed from the compression and can fly upwards instantly. Before the clay target
297

Furthermore, to make the target firing structure of the invention movable, when the first driving source
1
is activated, the two wheels
72
at the lower side of the base dock A are turned at the same time, and the roller
71
also is driven to rotate, therefore the entire base dock A may be moved around to allow the clay targets
297
to be fired at different locations.
In summary, the automatic and consecutive clay target firing structure according to the invention can rapidly discharge a plurality of clay targets
297
upwards continuously for shooting game use. The base dock A also may rove to alter the flying track of the clay targets
297
to increase the fun and amusement of rapid and consecutive shooting.
