ABSTRACT:
The present invention concerns a drive means for moving a target figure for use in sports shooting, comprising a frame, a pulley and a power wheel mounted on support of the frame, a power shaft connected with the power wheel, an endless pulling rope, which passes around the pulley and the power wheel and whereto the figure has been affixed, a weight rope and a moving weight, the latter being connected with the power shaft by the aid of the weight rope, said components being so arranged that the moving weight may be suspended to be borne by the weight rope wound around the power shaft, whereby the gravity effect acting on the moving weight tends to move the figure by mediation of the weight rope, the power shaft and the power wheel and of the pulling rope. In accordance with the invention the power shaft further comprises a holding member for winding the weight rope around the power shaft in one direction of winding and, by changing direction by support gained from said holding member, in the opposite direction of winding so that the moving weight suspended from the weight rope will move the target figure first in one direction while the weight rope is unwound from the power shaft up to the holding member, and in the opposite direction while the rope is unwound from the power shaft after the holding member in the opposite direction.
