Multi-target clamping assembly
A target holder assembly for interchangeably supporting a two-dimensional target and a three-dimensional target includes an enclosure and a target holder frame connected to the enclosure, the target holder frame including a cross arm member connected between two target arms. The cross arm has a base length with clamping members extending from both ends of the base length to engage three dimensional targets. The cross arm also has receiving grooves proximate the junction of the clamping members and the base length positioned to engage the two-dimensional targets. A front protrusion is positioned along the base length to engage either the two-dimensional target or the three-dimensional target. The holder assembly further includes a clamping apparatus connected to the base length to engage either the two-dimensional target or the three-dimensional target.
1. A target holder assembly for interchangeably supporting a two-dimensional target and a three-dimensional target, said target holder assembly comprising:
a base member;
a target holder frame connected to said base member, said target holder frame including a cross arm member connected between two target arms, said target arms connected to opposite sides of said base member;
said cross arm having a base length with a first clamping member extending from a first end of said base length and a second clamping member extending from a second end of said base length opposite said first end, said first clamping member and said second clamping member positioned to engage the three-dimensional target;
said cross arm further having a first receiving groove proximate a junction of said first clamping member and said base length and a second receiving groove proximate a junction of said second clamping member and said base length, said first and second receiving grooves positioned to engage the two-dimensional target;
a protrusion centrally positioned along said base length, said protrusion positioned to engage either the two-dimensional target or the three-dimensional target; and
at least one clamping apparatus connected to the base length to engage either the two-dimensional target or the three-dimensional target.
2. The target holder assembly as described in claim 1 further comprising a hit sensor affixed to said base length and in electrical communication with a central processor, said sensor selectively engaging the two-dimensional target or the three-dimensional target.
3. The target holder assembly as described in claim 1 further comprising a shield connected to said base member, said shield positioned between said base member and said cross arm.
4. The target holder assembly as described in claim 1 wherein said first and second clamping members comprise cantilevered jaws.
5. A target holder assembly for interchangeably supporting two-dimensional and three-dimensional targets having central apertures, said assembly comprising:
a base member;
a target holder frame pivotally connected to said base member, said target holder frame including a cross arm member connected between two target arms, said target arms connected to opposite sides of said base member;
said cross arm having a base length with a first clamping member extending from a first end of said base length and a second clamping member extending from a second end of said base length opposite said first end, said first clamping member and said second clamping member positioned to engage the three-dimensional target;
said cross arm further having a first receiving groove proximate a junction of said first clamping member and said base length and a second receiving groove proximate a junction of said second clamping member and said base length, said first and second receiving grooves positioned to engage the two-dimensional target;
a front protrusion positioned along said base length, said protrusion positioned to engage either the two-dimensional target or the three-dimensional target; and
clamping means to engage the target, said clamping means connected to the base length to engage either the two-dimensional target or the three-dimensional target.
6. The target holder assembly as described in claim 5 further comprising a hit sensor affixed to said base length and in electrical communication with a central processor, said sensor selectively engaging the two-dimensional target or the three-dimensional target.
7. The target holder assembly as described in claim 6 wherein said first and second clamping members comprise cantilevered jaws.
