Target Launch Device

Abstract

The subject matter of the invention is a device for launching targets comprising a target storage organ movable around a rotation axis, an organ for delivering a target from the storage organ at a delivery zone, a launch arm movable around a rotation axis substantially parallel to the rotation axis of the storage organ and able to apply a projection force to a target situated in the delivery zone, characterised by the fact that the launch arm and the storage organ are movable in opposite directions of rotation and in that the delivery zone is located between two distinct parallel planes in each of which the rotation axis of the launch arm and the rotation axis of the storage arm are located respectively. The invention will find its application for launching targets for archery.

         9 . A device for launching targets comprising:
 a target storage organ movable around a rotation axis,   a delivery organ for delivering a target from the storage organ at a delivery zone,   a launch arm movable around a rotation axis substantially parallel to the rotation axis of the storage organ and able to apply a projection force to a target situated in the delivery zone, wherein said device comprises a target in plastic materials and wherein the launch arm and the storage organ are movable in opposite directions of rotation and wherein the delivery zone is located between two distinct parallel planes in each of which the rotation axis of the launch arm and the rotation axis of the storage arm are located respectively.   
     
     
         10 . The device according to  claim 9 , wherein the delivery organ comprises a delivery ramp extending from the storage organ to the delivery zone. 
     
     
         11 . The device according to  claim 10 , wherein the launch arm circulates between the delivery zone and the delivery ramp. 
     
     
         12 . The device according to  claim 9 , wherein the delivery zone is located between the rotation axis of the launch arm and the rotation axis of the storage organ. 
     
     
         13 . The device according to  claim 10 , wherein the delivery ramp forms a stop between the delivery zone and an end of the delivery ramp configured to hold the target on the delivery zone. 
     
     
         14 . The device according to  claim 9 , comprising a projection surface on which the target is moved so as to be projected, the projection surface comprising a support surface supporting a circular portion of the target. 
     
     
         15 . The device according to  claim 14 , wherein the support surface has a concave longitudinal profile. 
     
     
         16 . The device according to  claim 14 , comprising at least one target with a circular cross-section and with an edge configured so as to be applied to the support surface.
