ABSTRACT:
A general purpose decoy launcher comprising two concentric cylinders and ing a launch platform attached to the inner cylinder by a load bearing hinge. The muzzle portion of the launch platform is attached to one end of an elevating mechanism, the other end of which rides in an inclined surface fabricated as part of the outer cylinder. Motion of the launcher to and from the firing configuration is accomplished by the holding of the outer cylinder stationary while rotating the inner cylinder with respect to it. Relative motion between the cylinders causes the elevating mechanism to rise on the inclined surface, thus elevating the launch platform to the firing angle. Launching tubes are located within the confines of the launching platform.
