Laser Light Activated Target

Abstract

A laser activated target comprising at least a first and second target body suspended from a support shaft in a staggered configuration ninety degrees apart, a light sensitive diode affixed in each said target body, a base housing a motor and gearset, a drive extension from the gearset mounted vertically atop said motor and gearset, a circuit board in communication with each diode and speaker mounted laterally to said motor and gearset, said support shaft engaged to drive extension from gearset and extending vertically through said base. The circuit board activated by detection of a laser light strike by said diodes causing the motor and gearset to pivot support shaft ninety degrees exposing the alternate target body and activating the speaker to emit a sound. Alternatively, the laser activated target device is in combination with an oscillating device providing pendulum movement of support shaft and target bodies.

1 . An laser light activated target device comprising:
 a first and second target body suspended on a support shaft ninety degrees apart in a staggered configuration;   a diode sensor affixed in each said target body, said sensor detects a strike of the target body by a laser light emitted from a laser light source, and;   a base housing a motor and gearset, a drive extension mounted vertically atop said motor and gearset, a control circuit board and speaker device mounted laterally on opposing sides to said motor and gearset, said support shaft engaged to said drive extension and extending vertically through said base, said control circuit board in communication with each said diode sensor and said motor and gearset and speaker device by a wiring means, wherein detection of said laser light by said diode sensor activates said control board causing said motor and gearset to pivot said support shaft exposing the first or second target body and causing the speaker device to emit a sound, said control circuit board, motor and speaker being powered by an external power source means.   
     
     
         2 . The laser light activated target device of  claim 1  wherein the target body consists of a front convex concentrating lens in a dome shaped configuration and a back plate consisting of a reflective material. 
     
     
         3 . The laser light activated device of  claim 2  wherein the target body consist of a plastic material. 
     
     
         4 . The laser light activated device of  claim 1  wherein the drive extension and gearset consist of a plurality of limiting pins situated ninety degrees apart providing rotation of said support shaft in a    
     
     
         5 . The laser light activated device of  claim 1  wherein the control circuit board contains a audio chip to emit a sound from said speaker device. 
     
     
         6 . The laser light activated device of  claim 5  wherein the audio chip emits a sound resembling a bullet hitting a metal plate. 
     
     
         7 . The laser light activated device of  claim 1  wherein said external power source means is a five volt power supply. 
     
     
         8 . The laser light activated device of  claim 1  wherein the control circuit board causes the motor and gearset to reverse direction with each successive activation from said laser light hit detected by said sensor diodes causing the support shaft to pivot back and forth in said ninety degree arc. 
     
     
         9 . An laser light activated target device comprising:
 a first and second target body suspended on a support shaft ninety degrees apart in a staggered configuration;   a diode sensor affixed in each said target body, said sensor detects a strike of the target body by a laser light emitted from a laser light source;   a base housing a motor and gearset, a drive extension mounted vertically atop said motor and gearset, a control circuit board and speaker device mounted laterally on opposing sides to said motor and gearset, said support shaft engaged to said drive extension and extending vertically through said base, said control circuit board in communication with each said diode sensor and said motor and gearset and speaker device by a wiring means, wherein detection of said laser light by said diode sensor activates said control board causing said motor and gearset to pivot said support shaft exposing the first or second target body and causing the speaker device to emit a sound, said control circuit board, motor and speaker being powered by an external power source means, and;   a oscillating means engaged with said base and support shaft providing a a pendulum motion of said support shaft and said first and second target body.
