Mechanical throwing device for confectionery with target-dependent triggering

Abstract

Mechanical throwing device for confectionery, comprising a base plate (15) with stand (3), a throwing lever (2), a tension spring (12) and a target lever (1) with target surface (9 / 14), characterized in that the throwing lever (2) is triggered by striking the target surface (9 / 14).

Description

Technical field:

[0001] The invention relates to a mechanical throwing device, in particular a manually operated game of skill, in which hitting a target surface triggers a pre-tensioned throwing mechanism to hurl an object, preferably a confectionery item, towards a user. State of the art:

[0002] Prior art includes throwing and catapult devices in which a throwing arm is moved by manual operation or direct triggering. A disadvantage of known devices is that they lack a target-dependent return function or variable range adjustment. Purpose of the invention:

[0003] Provision of a mechanical throwing device with target-dependent triggering, variable flight range and compact design. The throwing lever is only activated when the target area is hit by a projectile (tennis ball). Solution to the problem:

[0004] The solution is achieved by a mechanical throwing device according to claim 1. Detailed description:

[0005] The device comprises a base plate (15) with a foldable stand (3), a pivoting launching lever (2) with a support surface for confectionery (21), a tension spring (12) for pre-tensioning, and a targeting lever (1) with a target surface (9 / 14). Upon impact with a projectile, the targeting lever (1) is triggered, and the launching lever (2) hurls the confectionery towards the user. Advantages: - Target-dependent triggering - Variable flight range - Purely mechanical operation - Transport-friendly Fig. 1 The focus is on the tension spring (12) as it acts in the through hole of the stand frame and tension spring attachment (19).

Claims

[1] Mechanical throwing device for confectionery, comprising a base plate (15) with stand (3), a throwing lever (2), a tension spring (12) and a target lever (1) with target surface (9 / 14), characterized by , that the throwing lever (2) is triggered by hitting the target area (9 / 14). [2] Throwing device according to claim 1, characterized by , that the tension spring (12) can be adjusted or tensioned in multiple stages on the target lever (1) of the preload stages (4). [3] Throwing device according to claim 1, characterized by The target area can be exchanged for a different target area size (9 / 14) using a plug-in system (5). This allows inexperienced players to participate (9 - larger target area). [4] Throwing device according to claim 1, characterized by , that a foldable stand (3) is provided. The throwing device can be operated both with the stand (3) unfolded and with the stand (3) folded in. [5] Throwing device according to claim 1, characterized by Various lengths of tension springs (12) can be used. A ring screw (6), which, depending on the screw-in depth, is fixed to a metal tab (7) – of varying depths – on the stand frame and tension spring mounting (19) with a wing nut (8). Depending on its size, the tension spring (12) can disappear into the through-hole of the base structure. No tools are required for this installation. Different flight ranges for a projectile can be achieved by using different lengths of tension springs (12). [6] Throwing device according to claim 1, characterized byIn addition to claim 5, either spacers or a metal tab (7) (bent inwards towards the inside of the structure) can be used, thereby achieving an additional depth. This depth allows for a greater tension force of the tension spring (12) or the installation of longer tension springs (12). A greater range of the projectile can thus be achieved.
