ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to an automatic target rising device intended primarily for use in a form of shooting competition known as "International Metallic Silhouette". This device includes a target mounted platform with guide slots attached to its lower surface. These slots are engaged by retaining bars which are mounted on pedestals with a sloping rear edge. This allows the target to fall by a combination of pivoting on and sliding over the retaining bars at the top rear edge of the pedestals. The target is reset by means of a rotatably mounted lever which transfers the force and movement of a linear actuator to the lower surface of a fallen target platform immediately behind the guide slots, enabling the target to be raised by a combination of sliding over and pivoting on the retaining bars and pivoting on the end of the lever which returns to its original position after resetting the target. The lever is driven by a linear actuator which is mounted between it and an anchorage point on the base plate of the device. Due to this arrangement the heaviest target used can be reset with an actuator of moderate power and a target mounted on the device responds to bullet impact in a very similar manner to a freestanding target.
