DEFINITION

Classification: 273/378

Indication by movement of target or target having indicating means:

(under subclass 348) Target device (a) including means, actuatable or operable by a projectile, for providing or producing an indication that a projectile has reached the point of aim, or (b) wherein the target device or the point of aim portion thereof is movable whenever a projectile impinges thereupon, and wherein the movement of the target device or the point of aim provides or produces a visual indication that a projectile has reached the point of aim.

(1) Note. Target devices, which are adapted to have a hole formed therein whenever a projectile impinges thereupon, are not included in this and the indented subclasses unless the target device has some means to enhance the visible presence of the hole, as for example, the target device having means to make the hole larger than the size of the projectile.

(2) Note. Target devices, which are merely adapted to retain a projectile therein or thereon after penetration (e.g., dart board target devices), are not included in this and the indented subclasses and are, accordingly, found in subclasses 403, 404 and 408.
