Target launching machine for skeet shooting

A machine for launching targets including a base on which there is arranged an assembly having a launching mechanism and a drum for storing targets, assembly being configured so as to be able to move relative to the base, the machine including a tilting device that allows the assembly to move relative to the base, the tilting device having on one hand a first portion connected to the base and having one from among a curved rail and an element for guiding of the rail in a single degree of freedom of tilting along the rail, and on the other hand a second portion connected to the assembly and having the other from among the rail and the guiding element, wherein it comprises a pivot connection about a rotation axis Abetween the second portion and the rest of the assembly.

Target launching machine

A machine for launching at least one target. The machine comprises a launch plate, a launch arm mobile in rotation at least between a supply position, an armed position and an ejection position, a guide element pressing against a first portion of a contour of the target, and a mobile stop exerting a force on a second portion of the contour of the target. The launch arm comprises an ejection portion configured to apply an ejection stress onto a third portion of the target in the armed position, the first, second and third portion being distinct. The launch arm comprises a pin provided with a contact portion configured to contact a fourth portion of the contour of the target in the armed position, the fourth portion being distinct from the other portions.

Machine for launching at least one target

Machine for launching targets comprising a frame on which a mounting is assembled, relative to which a barrel is rotatably assembled according to an axis of rotation and in a direction of rotation. The barrel comprising a plurality of columns for storing stacks of targets, the storage columns being arranged according to a ring defining an inner surface of the barrel. The inner space of the barrel advantageously comprises at least one additional target storage element.

Machine for launching targets with improved barrel

A barrel intended to be mounted with the ability to rotate about a median axis of rotation on a target launching machine, said barrel comprising at least one column for the storage of targets in a stack, said at least one storage column being positioned at least partially by a rod extending parallel to the storage column, characterized in that the rod comprises a first portion that is stationary relative to the barrel and a second portion that is configured to be able to move at least translationally along a longitudinal axis of the rod between a position deployed along the storage column and an at least partially retracted position.

Barrel for target launching machine with retractable rod for the positioning of at least one column of targets

A machine for launching targets, comprising a base on which an assembly comprising a launch mechanism and a drum for storing targets is arranged. The assembly is configured to be mobile with respect to the base, wherein it comprises a tilting mechanism comprising a main tilting system providing a main mobility of the assembly with respect to the base consisting of a curved slide rigidly connected to one out of the base and the assembly, and an element guided by the slide in a single degree of freedom in translation along the slide and rigidly connected to the other out of the base and the assembly. The slide and the guided element are mounted movably in translation along the slide.

Target launching machine with variable orientation

The invention has for object a mechanical target-launching machine comprising a loading systemand an actuatorwhich are disjointed from one another. The actuatorand the loading systemare connected to one another by a power transmission device. Said power transmission deviceis a flexible element and preferably an arming cable. An energy accumulatorallows energy to be stored so that it can be released abruptly and allow the launching of a target

Manual launcher with remotely situated control
