Abstract:
In a target shooting toy which includes an image projector that projects a light beam therefrom that defines an image upon impinging a display surface, a drive system for the image projector which moves the light beam, a light detector which provides electrical signals in response to light received by the light detector, a hit determining electrical circuit coupled to the light detector which determines a hit from the electrical signals provided by the light detector when light received by the light detector is reflected from an image projected by the image projector on the display surface, and a user movable device which when pointed at the display surface directs light from the display surface to the light detector, the improvement comprising:the drive system moving the light beam to project an image which moves in at least two coordinate axes and including at least one electrical motor coupled to the image projector, a first electrical circuit coupled to the at least one motor, a second electrical circuit having motion-defining parameters which define the motion of the light beam from the image projector, at least one connector having a first part carried by the image projector removably connectable to a second part connected to the second circuit to removably couple the second electrical circuit to the first electrical circuit such that the second electrical circuit can be removed and replaced by another second electrical circuit having motion-defining parameters different from those of the second electrical circuit, the first and second electrical circuits cooperating to supply electrical power to the at least one motor in accordance with the motion-defining parameters of the second electrical circuit.
