Target image projector with simulated gun assembly
First Claim
1. A target game comprising:
- a target projecting assembly including a target projector for projecting an image of either a target or a hit onto a screen or the like, said target projector having image means mounted thereon for movement between a normal position wherein the target image is presented for projection and a hit position wherein the hit image is presented for projection, and a hit actuating member movably mounted on the target projecting assembly and operatively associated with an image means for moving said image means from its normal target projecting position to its hit projecting position;
an aimable gun assembly movably mounted adjacent said target projecting assembly including a selectively actuatable trigger assembly including a striking portion movable with said gun assembly relative to said hit actuating member of the target projecting assembly and adapted to engage said hit actuating member and move said image means from its normal position to its hit position whenever said trigger assembly is actuated and said striking portion and said hit actuating member are aligned;
a guide assembly operatively connected to said target projecting assembly for movably guiding the projected image onto the screen and simultaneously and correspondingly moving said hit actuating member relative to the striking portion of said trigger assembly; and
a drive assembly operatively connected to said guide assembly for moving said target projecting assembly.

Abstract
A target game of the type wherein a target image is movingly projected upon a screen for simulated shooting by a gun assembly. The target game generally includes a target projecting assembly for randomly exhibiting a moving target onto the screen and for giving an indication of a successful hit. A gun assembly is movably mounted over the target projecting assembly for selectively exhibiting a hit area on the screen and for causing the target projecting assembly to indicate a hit, along with a drive assembly. The target projecting assembly includes a first projector having a film holder which is movable between a "normal" position wherein a target image is presented for projection and a "hit" position wherein an explosion image is presented for projection. The target projecting assembly also includes a hit actuating member associated with the film holder to move the holder from its normal position to its hit position. The gun assembly includes a second projector for projecting a hit area on the screen and a trigger assembly a portion of which is adapted to engage the hit actuating member when said hit actuating member and trigger portion are aligned and the trigger assembly is depressed. If this occurs, the hit actuating member moves the film strip holder from its normal position to its hit position.

14. A target game comprising:
-
a target projecting assembly including a target projector for projecting an image of a target onto a screen or the like, and including a hit actuating member on the target projecting assembly and movable relative to the target projecting assembly in at least one given direction for registering a hit indication; a drive assembly operatively associated with said target projecting assembly for moving the target projecting assembly and thereby correspondingly moving the image projected thereby in a path over said screen; and an aimable gun assembly mounted adjacent the target projecting assembly and movable independently relative thereto, with a selectively actuatable trigger assembly including a striking portion movable with the gun assembly relative to the hit actuating member of the target projecting assembly and adapted to movably engage the hit actuating member to move the same in said direction to register a hit only when aligned therewith to preclude a user from registering a hit by continuous actuation of the trigger assembly. - View Dependent Claims (15)

16. A target game, comprising:
- a target projecting assembly including a target projector for projecting an image of a target onto a screen or the like, and including a hit actuating member on the target projecting assembly for projecting a hit indication, said hit actuating member being generally in the form of a longitudinal protrusion;
a drive assembly operatively associated with said target projecting assembly for moving the target projecting assembly and thereby correspondingly moving the image projected thereby in a path over said screen; and
aimable gun assembly mounted adjacent the target projecting assembly and movable independently relative thereto, with a selectively actuatable trigger assembly including a striking portion movable with the gun assembly relative to the hit actuating member of the target projecting assembly, said striking portion being in the form of a generally longitudinal protrusion mounted for axial movement generally parallel to the protruding hit actuating member so as to permit actuation only when the ends of the protrusions are aligned, said protrusions being of sufficient length to cause lateral interference thereby precluding a user from registering a hit by continuously actuating the trigger assembly while moving the same to move said striking portion in a direction transverse to said protruding hit actuating member.
- a target projecting assembly including a target projector for projecting an image of a target onto a screen or the like, and including a hit actuating member on the target projecting assembly for projecting a hit indication, said hit actuating member being generally in the form of a longitudinal protrusion;

17. A target game comprising:
-
a target projecting assembly including a target projector for projecting an image of either a target or a hit onto a screen or the like, said target projector having image means mounted thereon for movement between a normal position wherein the target image is presented for projection and a hit position wherein the hit image is presented for projection, and hit actuating means mounted on the target projecting assembly and operatively associated with the image means for moving said image means from its normal target projecting position to its hit projecting position; an aimable gun assembly movably mounted adjacent said target projecting assembly including a selectively actuatable trigger assembly including a portion movable with said gun assembly relative to said hit actuating means of the target projecting assembly and adapted to actuate said hit actuating means to move said image means from its normal position to its hit position whenever said trigger assembly is actuated and said gun assembly is properly aimed with said target image; a guide assembly operatively connected to said target projecting assembly for movably guiding the projected image onto the screen; and a drive assembly drivingly connected to said guide assembly. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
