  • Patent number: 6955166
    Abstract: This is a device for launching targets into the air for target practice. The launcher includes a base, a release lever pivotally mounted to the base and having an impact target, and a throwing lever mounted to the base and having target holding cups. A spring is mounted within the base, and biases the throwing lever away from the base, through a pair of lifting arms. The release lever has a notch which mates with a tab on the throwing lever to hold the throwing lever cocked. Upon impact of a projectile on the impact target, the release lever will pivot away from the throwing lever, allowing the throwing lever to spring up, and launch targets received in the holding cups.
