Light-emission gun amusement machine for home use
First Claim
1. A light-emission gun amusement device which projects a light image onto a screen and receives a reflected light image from said screen, said device comprising;
- a light-emission gun;
a machine housing separate from said light-emission gun and said screen;
a light source within said housing;
a photoelectric element within said housing above said light source;
mirror means within said housing above said light source and said photoelectric element for reflecting said light from said light source to said screen and for reflecting light from said screen to said photoelectric element;
lens means within said housing between said mirror means and said photoelectric element for substantially coaxially aligning the light rays from said light source to said mirror and for substantially aligning said light rays from said screen reflected by said mirror means toward said photoelectric element;
an electrically operated motor within said housing;
a main shaft operatively connected to said motor;
mirror drive means connected to said main shaft and abutting said mirror means for moving said mirror means both vertically and horizontally;
an electrical power source connected to said light source and said motor;
a power source control means actuated by said photoelectric element for reversing the electrical connection between said power source and said motor when said light from said screen is reflected to said photoelectric element, thereby reversing the normal rotational direction of said motor;
target producing means within said housing between said light source and said photoelectric element and operatively connected to said main shaft for producing target and hit images of said light source on said screen, said target producing means comprised of;
a first diaphragm member means pivotally mounted between said light source and said photoelectric element and operatively connected to said main shaft for selectively producing target and hit images, said first diaphragm member means having a target aperture and a hit mark aperture to selectively produce said target image and said hit image when light from said light source shines through said apertures, said target image being produced when said main shaft is rotating normally and said hit image being produced when the direction of the said main shaft'"'"'s normal rotational direction is reversed.

Abstract
A light-emission gun amusement machine for projecting a light image onto a screen and for receiving a reflected image from said screen. The device uses a light-emission gun, and has a machine housing separate from the light-emission gun and the screen. Within the housing are: a light source, a photoelectric element above the light source; and a lens system between the light source and the photoelectric element within the housing and the screen outside the housing for coaxially aligning the light rays from the light source to the screen and the light rays from the screen returning toward the photoelectric element. Furthermore, there is an electrically operative motor within the housing with a main shaft operatively connected thereto, and an electric power source connected to the light source and the motor. A power source control means actuated by the photoelectric element reverses the electrical connection between the power source and the motor when light is reflected from the screen onto the photoelectric element, thereby reversing the normal rotational direction of the motor. Finally a target producing means is contained within the housing between the light source and the photoelectric element and is operatively connected to the main shaft for producing target and hit images of the light source on the screen.
