Abstract
A toy shooting gallery assembly having a raised platform behind whose rear end is an arcuate row of normally erect, pivotally-mounted targets. Each target is provided with a lug that depends from its lower end whereby when this lug is struck, it causes the target to fall down to register a hit. Pivoted at a point adjacent the front end of the platform is a hollow arm on whose front section is mounted a gun having a barrel which extends over the platform, the arm being swingable by the gun in an arc which scans the arcuate row of targets, whereby the barrel may be aimed at a selected target. The gun trigger is operatively coupled by a cable running through the hollow arm to a striker mechanism mounted on the rear section of the arm at a position underlying the target row. When the gun is aimed at a selected target, the striker mechanism is then aligned with the lugs of this target, and when the trigger is pulled by the player, this actuates the striker mechanism to strike the lug, thereby causing the target to fall down to register a hit. No hit is registered when the player's aim is off-target.
