DEFINITION

Classification: 273/383

Having projectile-actuated means to free indicator for movement:

(under subclass 378) Target device including an indicating member which is moved whenever a projectile reaches the point of aim, so that movement of the indicating member provides or produces a visible indication that a projectile has reached the point of aim, and wherein the target device includes means, actuated by a projectile whenever it reaches the point of aim, for releasing the indicating member and moving the indicating member by a force other than that produced by movement of the releasing means itself.

(1) Note. The force which moves the indicating member after the member has been freed for movement by a projectile reaching the point of aim usually is provided by the bias of a spring means acting on the indicating member or by the earth's gravitational field acting on the indicating member.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

387+, for target devices having an indicating member which is

moved by the force produced by movement of either the point of aim or other projectile-actuated element, which movement of the point of aim or the projectile-actuated element is, in turn, produced by the energy of the projectile impacting upon the point of aim or the projectile-actuated element.
