  • Patent number: 4335880
    Abstract: A target shooting apparatus including an operator controlled simulated gun which projects a light beam of short duration toward a target each time the trigger is actuated. The simulated gun must be cocked between each "shot" which also resets a recoiling mechanism to give a true to life operational effect to the gun. The target includes a frame fronted by a simulated fence on top of which a plurality of objects, such as bottles, tin cans, and the like may be placed. A target impeller is provided on the frame in proximity to each of the objects so that, when actuated, the impeller will cause physical movement of the associated target knocking it off of the frame. The target impellers are actuated by a control mechanism, as a photo transistor therein senses the proper alignment of the light beam from the gun through one of a plurality of apertures located on the frame below each of the objects.

  • Patent number: 4147355
    Abstract: A target shooting apparatus including an operator controlled simulated gun which projects a light beam of short duration toward a target each time the trigger is actuated. A simulated gun may be cocked between each "shot" which resets a recoiling, sounding mechanism to give a true life operational effect to the gun. The target includes a frame which rotatably mounts a pair of tables, each carrying a plurality of target devices. Additionally, a slidably mounted subframe assembly mounts at least one additional target for reciprocal, side-to-side motion. A target impeller mechanism is provided on the frame in proximity to each of the rotatable tables and the reciprocal subframe so that, when actuated, the impeller will cause rotational movement of the associated target indicating a "hit". The target impellers are actuated by a control mechanism as the proper alignment of the light beam from the gun with one of a plurality of phototransistors is sensed.

  • Patent number: 4028845
    Abstract: A figure toy or doll having a layered plastic skin including a molded soft, pliable outer skin exteriorly of a substantially rigid, molded inner skeletal shell, and a method for making the same. The figure toy includes a molded smooth, pliable outer skin covering defining the exterior surface and shape of the doll, which is bonded to a substantially rigid molded inner wall interiorly thereof, which provides support for the doll. The method includes the steps of coating the interior walls of a suitable mold cavity with a generally soft plastisol and gelling the plastisol by heating the mold cavity during rotation thereof to form a soft outer covering or skin; coating the interior of the skin with a second plastisol which will cure to form a rigid plastic skeleton to give support to said outer shell; pressurizing the mold cavity; and heat curing both the first and second plastisol during rotation of the mold cavity, then recovering the doll from the mold.

  • Patent number: 3973773
    Abstract: Game apparatus which includes a projector and screen in conjunction with a plurality of film transparencies, so that the game "board" or setting is projected on the screen together with the playing pieces, and the progress of the game is determined by the projection of films in sequence. In the illustrated embodiment, there is provided a football game including a plurality of film strips of offensive and defensive plays which are projected on the screen in superimposed relation to provide the play action of two opposing teams.
