DEFINITION

Classification: 273/384

Indicator is dumped or is projected into the air (e.g., return fire):

(under subclass 383) Target device either (a) including a movable support upon which the indicating member is adapted to rest, and wherein the indicating member is adapted to merely rest upon the movable support without being attached to any portion of the target device or the support; and, whenever the releasing means is actuated by a projectile, the support is moved from a position supporting the indicating member at rest thereon to a released position, in which released position the support no longer supports the indicating member so that the indicating member freely drops or falls from its position of rest, or (b) including means to project or launch the indicating member into the air away from the target device, and wherein the projecting or launching means is actuated or operated by the releasing means whenever a projectile reaches the point of aim and actuates the releasing means.

(1) Note. Included in this subclass are target devices in which a human being or an animal is intended to be the movable indicating member which is dumped upon actuation of the releasing means.
