- 17 - TARGET PRACTICE DEVICE FOR HOCKEY AND THE LIKE ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The only way a player of hockey or the like can practice shooting at goal is to utilize the conventional net or a stationary target. The net is too large for accu- rate practice and shooting at a target is difficult to moni- tor. In both cases, no indication of the speed of the shot or the impact velocity can be ascertained. The present in- vention mounts a target plate on the front end of a carriage supported upon rails with the movement caused by the impact of the puck or the like, being restricted or controlled by a spring. If the shot hits the target with a velocity above a predetermined minimum, the target and carriage are moved rearwardly within a casing and are latched incrementally depending upon the velocity of the shot. This incremental latching actuates a switch which indicates the approximate velocity upon impact, by means of a lamp or the like on the front of the casing. A bell also may be rung. After a pre- determined time interval, the carriage is unlatched and the spring returns the carriage and target to the original posi- tion. The time delay is so that the player or coach can view the display and this time delay can be adjusted. If the shot hits the target with insufficient velocity to reach the first latch, then the spring returns the carriage to the - 18 - forward position immediately. The device can be powered by a re-chargeable 12-volt battery or any other source of electrical power depending upon design conditions under which it may be used.
