Abstract:
The present invention is a portable pneumatic target device for raising and lowering a target. With the target raising and lowering device of the present invention, a target can be selectively stopped at any point of extension or retraction. The target raising and lowering device of the present invention includes a support frame secured to a base, a horizontal target carrier assembly mounted to the support frame and moveable on the frame, and in air actuated cylinder operably attached to the target carrier assembly. The target is mounted to the target carrier assembly and is raised and lowered through the action of the air actuated cylinder. Pressurized air is selectively admitted into the cylinder by a solenoid operated valve. The solenoid is energized, after actuation of a manual switch or an infrared switch for a predetermined period under control of a programmable timer.
