ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for launching targets for trap shooting whose speed and distance of projection are variable, of the type using a rotatable drum (1)into which are loaded movable targets (2). The movable targets (2) are superposed on each other in columns (3), maintained by tubes or vertical rollers, disposed between a recessed upper holding plate or having radial arms for the storage of movable targets and a lower recessed holding plate (4) for each column (3) of targets (2), or having radial arms between each column (3) of targets (2). The lower plate (4) is above and parallel to a fixed base plate which comprises a single recess (5) so as to permit the passage of movable targets (2) which are received on a launching plate (6) disposed before an ejection arm (7). One or several motors ensures the rotation of the drum (1) and the movement of the ejection arm (7). The launching plate (6)is comprised by a fixed launching ramp (9) and a movable launching ramp (8) articulated about a substantially transverse pivotal axis (10). The upper surfaces of the ramps (9, 8) are at the same height below and parallel to the path of the assembly of the ejection arm (7).
