Dart target system

Claim 1

A target system comprising a a frame, first target module movably mounted on said frame for rotation about a first substantially horizontal axis, said first target module having a target module surface disposed transversely to said axis, said surface being suitable for penetration by pointed ends of darts sufficient to support and retain darts stuck therein whereby a dart stuck in said first target module on one side of a vertical plane extending through said axis tends to cause said first target module to rotate about said first axis downwardly on the side of said vertical plane in which said dart is stuck, a dart with a pointed end, said pointed end being stuck in said target module surface, a victory indication means correlated with said first target module and said frame, whereby at a given time the position of said first target module with respect to said frame can be sensed by the players, said victory indication means comprising an electrical signal system having a sensible signal. said signal being activated responsive to the position of a magnetically attractable member with respect to a magnetically operated switch, the magnetically attractable member and the magnetically operated switch being permanently mounted during use of said system one on said target module and one on a portion of said system which is fixed to said frame.
