Patent number: 11959732Abstract: A target turner and associated components and methods. The target turner is configured to hold a target to be shot by a shooter. The target turner is configured to hold the target in a shooting orientation for being shot by the shooter and in a non-shooting orientation for hiding a face of the target from the user. A turning assembly of the target turner includes a crank wheel and two turning wheels. The crank wheel drives the first turning wheel for turning the target toward the non-shooting orientation and drives the second turning wheel for turning the target toward the shooting orientation. A target support of the target turner is configured to disconnect from the turning assembly to avoid damage to the turning assembly if outside force is applied to the target support.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2019Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: AOB Products CompanyInventors: Michael Cottrell, Adam J. Birk, Dennis W. Cauley, Jr., Timothy S. Kinney, Michael Poehlman, James Gianladis

Publication number: 20240077282Abstract: An anti-cant indicator assembly, components thereof, and associated methods. The anti-cant indicator assembly indicates the orientation of a weapon with respect to vertical. The anti-cant indicator assembly includes a mount configured to mount to the weapon, a level including a vial containing a bubble and a pivot connection connecting the level to the mount. The pivot connection is configured to permit movement of the level with respect to the mount about the pivot connection between an operational position in which the bubble can be referenced by the user for indicating orientation of the weapon with respect to vertical, and a stowed position different from the operational position. The pivot connection can include a retainer configured to releasably retain the level in at least one of the operational position or the stowed position. The level can be selectively movable with respect to the mount to calibrate the anti-cant indicator.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 10, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Applicant: AOB Products CompanyInventors: Mike Lindsay, Michael Cottrell, James Tayon, Timothy S.
