Definitions

  • Toy shooting-weapon tcith proy'ectile mag-came This, invention relates to a toy gun for the projection of lightprojectiles under the influence of aspri fl l'said gun being providedwith a magazine for a plurality of projectiles, discharged successively without reloading the gun.
  • a toy gun for the projection of lightprojectiles under the influence of aspri fl l'said gun being providedwith a magazine for a plurality of projectiles, discharged successively without reloading the gun.
  • Different guns oi this kind are already known of which the followingconstruction, maybe mentioned in this connection: It is provided with a barrel for the projeotion'of theprojectiles, and in its rear end is provided.v with a spring, and a magazine located above the barrel and emerging into the barrel, the projectiles by their own weight falling down one after the other into'the rear part of the barrel in front of th spring when the barrel, after the projection of a shot,
  • the projection of a shot is broughtabout, by pulling a trigger backwards, the trigger actuating a detent which is brought backwards, this detent in its foremost position projecting into, the barrel from below, grasping thefront edge of a projectile pressing it towards the spring, whichis then loaded, but during the backward motion being brought obliquely downwardsout of the barrel at a suitable point and releasing the projectile, which, actuated by the spring, is projected out'of the barrel.
  • a new projectile then falls into the barrel, the trigger is brought to its foremost position and the procedure maybe repeated.
  • a disadvantage of the construction just de-- scribed. is that no'guiding of the projectiles located in the magazine nearest to the barrel is obtainable.
  • The'projectiles therefore often get lodged crossways in the magazine with one end-projecting intothe barrel and in front of a projectile being moved to the reartowards the spring in order to be projected, this means that the gun gets stuck; at the best one projectile is projected from the magazine as one is leaving; the barrel. For this reason it is not possible to make the gun for a large number of projectiles; in such a case every shot would become lodged.
  • the same principle is utilized for the projection proper of the projectile;
  • the magazine and the trigger are made such that a forced guidance of the projectiles in the .magazine' is obtained preventing more than one projectile fr'om'being fed into the barrel at the same time.
  • the mouth of the magazine is arranged at the same side of the barrel as the trigger means.
  • Figs. 1 and 3 show two different embodiments of toyguns according to the invention in a longitudinal section and Fig. 2' an embodiment of the trigger.
  • Fig. 1 furthermore shows a mechanism making possible the loading of a gun according to the in vention without the use of loose parts.
  • l designates the body of the gun.
  • This body preferably made of Wood or plastic material, contains a barrel 2 and, within the handle 3 a magazine space for receiving projectiles directly or in a suitabl clip. In the embodiment shown in the figure this space is intended to. receive the projectiles directly.
  • the mouth oi the magazine space communicates'with what may be termed the chamber portion of the barrel to which projectiles are delivered.
  • This spring is loaded before discharge of a shot, when the projectile is brought backwards, and throws the projectile ahead through the barrel when released at the discharge.
  • the discharge is brought about bymeans of the discharge device according to the invention here shown as a lever T pivoted at a pin l8 and provided with a part 8 in its resting position hav- 3 ing its end projecting into the bore in front of the magazine, and being arranged so as to be moved along to cover the mouth of the magazine into the barrel when a shot is discharged, thereby preventing projectiles E9 in the magazine from entering into the barrel.
  • a lever T pivoted at a pin l8 and provided with a part 8 in its resting position hav- 3 ing its end projecting into the bore in front of the magazine, and being arranged so as to be moved along to cover the mouth of the magazine into the barrel when a shot is discharged, thereby preventing projectiles E9 in the magazine from entering into the barrel.
  • the lever drawn with continuous lines in the figure shows the position after the discharge, when part 8 covers the aperture of the magazine into the barrel and a projectile 9 is on its way through the barrel. In this position the trigger I'll is drawn back.
  • the trigger and the lever 1 are brought to a position shown with dash lines by the trigger spring I I, the projectile being fed into the barrel from the mouth of the magazine by means of a magazine spring l2 and a projectile feeder 13.
  • Part 8 must consequently be made in such a manner that the lower edge slides along covering the projectiles of the magazine while the upper edge engages the projectile to be discharged for a sufficiently long stroke to load the spring.
  • the loading of the magazine takes place through aperture I 4 in the body above the mouth of the magazine.
  • This aperture has the same width and about the same length as the projectiles and is provided with a resilient stop 15.
  • the lower part of this stop In its resting position the lower part of this stop is located above the barrel and level with the upper surface of the barrel.
  • the ends I! of the stop in the embodiment shown consisting of a resilient metal wire, are fastened outside the aperture 14 seen from above, the wire being bent in such a manner that a U-shaped part enters into the aperture with its lower part [6 above the center of the barrel. This part consequently forms part of the barrel for projectiles fed into the barrel from the magazine but is brought aside when the gun is loaded, the ends I! being then subjected to torsion.
  • Fig; 2 shows an embodiment where the trigger, the discharging means and the trigger spring constitute one piece consisting of a resilient wire, of which part corresponds to part 8 of Fig. 1, part 2! corresponds to the trigger and part 22 to the trigger spring. This piece is inserted into a suitably shaped recess in the handle such that the part 22 with the adjacent bend of the wire is loaded.
  • Fig. 3 shows a further embodiment in which the trigger 3
  • the trigger is provided with a projection 32 directed rearwardly the rear end of which in its resting position extends into the barrel in front of and above the aperture of the magazine into the barrel, this projection, when the trigger is brought rearwardly against the action of the spring 35, moving backwardly and downwardly, bringing a projectile inserted into the barrel towards the mainspring 35, here shown as a cylindrical spring, while the part 32 covers the projectiles of the magazine.
  • the magazine is in this figure shown as a sliding, loose magazine 34, insertable from below into the handle.
  • An automatic repeating toy gun comprising a body providing a grip portion and a barrel having a chamber portion, said grip portion providing a magazine space extending laterally from the barrel and having a mouth communicating with said chamber portion, a firing spring carried by said body for discharging a projectile from said gun, and discharge mechanism for actuating the gun movable from a position or repose to a discharge position, said mechanism including a part located iri said barrel ahead of said chamber portion in a position for engage-'- ment with a projectile in said chamber portion when said mechanism is in its position of repose, and motion constraining means having a fixed position in said body and engaging said mechanism for imposing movement on said part relative to said barrel rearwardly and to the side thereof occupied by said mouth and over the latter when said mechanism is moved from its position of repose to its discharge position, whereby to initially move said projectile rearwardly of the barrel against the force of the firing spring and thereafter release the projectile while simultaneously providing a stop covering at least part of said mouth for preventing entry into said
  • a gun as defined in claim 1 including an aperture in said body opposite the mouth of the magazine space for loading projectiles into said space across the chamber portion of the barrel and a yieldable spring detent carried by said body arranged to yield to permit projectiles to be inserted through said aperture and to prevent projectiles from passing through the aperture in the opposite direction.
