US12742618 - Target system

A target system may include a carrier. The carrier may include a housing, at least one wheel rotatably coupled to an interior of the housing, at least one gear coupled to the at least one wheel, a motor coupled to the at least one gear to drive the at least one wheel via the at least one gear, and a controller to activate the motor based on user input. The target system may also include at least one arm coupled to the carrier, and a coupling device to couple a panel to the at least one arm.

The patent describes a target system featuring a carrier with a housing, wheels, gears, and a motor driven by user input, along with arms for attaching panels. Additionally, it includes a sensor for detecting environmental conditions and a clutch for engaging or disengaging the wheels from a suspension line.

Claim 1

1 . A target system comprising: a carrier comprising: a housing; at least one wheel rotatably coupled to an interior of the housing; at least one gear coupled to the at least one wheel; a motor coupled to the at least one gear to drive the at least one wheel via the at least one gear; a controller to activate the motor based on user input; at least one arm coupled to the carrier; a coupling device to couple a panel to the at least one arm; a sensor to detect environmental conditions external to the carrier and alter functions of the target system; and a clutch mechanically coupled to the at least one wheel to selectively engage and disengage the at least one wheel from a suspension line. a carrier comprising: a housing; at least one wheel rotatably coupled to an interior of the housing; at least one gear coupled to the at least one wheel; a motor coupled to the at least one gear to drive the at least one wheel via the at least one gear; a controller to activate the motor based on user input; a housing; at least one wheel rotatably coupled to an interior of the housing; at least one gear coupled to the at least one wheel; a motor coupled to the at least one gear to drive the at least one wheel via the at least one gear; a controller to activate the motor based on user input; at least one arm coupled to the carrier; a coupling device to couple a panel to the at least one arm; a sensor to detect environmental conditions external to the carrier and alter functions of the target system; and a clutch mechanically coupled to the at least one wheel to selectively engage and disengage the at least one wheel from a suspension line.
