  • FIG. 1 is a front view of the laser actuated target device.
  • FIG. 2 is a detailed view of the laser actuated target device showing the target bodies, light sensor diodes, support shaft, motor and gearset, control circuit board, speaker, and drive extension.

    •  DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
  • In the preferred embodiment, the laser actuated target device (10) comprises of at least a first and second target bodies (20) suspended on a support shaft (30). The first and second target bodies are suspended on shaft (30) in a staggered configuration ninety degrees apart. In the preferred embodiment, the target bodies (20) consist of a front translucent plastic material in a dome shaped configuration and a back plate consisting of a reflective material such as plastic, which is affixed to support shaft (30). A light sensitive diode (25) is attached to the center of the back plate of each target body (20). A base (95) houses a motor (70) and gearset (80). A control circuit board (60) and speaker device (90) are mounted laterally on opposite sides of the motor (70) and gearset (80). The control circuit board (60), motor (70) and speaker device (90) are all powered by an external power supply (50). A drive extension (40) is mounted vertically atop gearset (80) and is engaged to support shaft (30) which extends vertically through base (95). The control circuit board (60) is in communication with each light sensitive diode (25) by a wire means (100) housed within support shaft (30). The motor (70) and speaker (90) are in communication with control circuit board (60) by wire means (100). A light sensitivity adjustment device (65) is attached to control circuit board (60) for limiting uncontrolled cycling of control circuit board (60). When a laser light emitted from a firearm or other laser light source strikes the first or second target body (20) and is detected by light sensitive diode (25), a relay signal from light sensitive diode (25) travels through wire means (100) to activate control circuit board (60). In response to a laser hit detected by light sensitive diode (25), motor (70) and gearset (80) are activated by control circuit board (60) through wire means (100) causing support shaft (30) to pivot ninety degrees exposing the second target body (20) if the first target body (20) has been hit and vice versa. Simultaneously, upon detection of a laser light strike speaker (90) is activated to emit a distinctive sound. In a preferred embodiment, drive shaft extension (40) contains a pair of limiting pins ninety degrees apart at the point of engagement with gearset (80) and in communication with control circuit board (60) causing target support shaft (30) to pivot in a clockwise and counter clockwise direction, alternatively, in a ninety degree arc which each successive laser light strike. In a preferred embodiment, control circuit board (60) contains an audio chip causing speaker (90) to emit an audible sound resembling a falling plate with each laser light strike. In another preferred embodiment depicted in FIG. 3, laser actuated target (10) in combination with an oscillating device (105) causes target support shaft (30) and target bodies (20) to move in a pendulum-like motion.
