DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cracker firing toy for firing a cracker, and more particularly, to a handgun type cracker firing toy capable of firing a cracker easily and quickly with one hand.

[0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION A cracker is often used when holding a party with a plurality of close friends such as a Christmas party and a birthday party. The cracker can release multiple colored tapes with a pleasant explosion sound, which can enliven the atmosphere of the place. FIG. 4 is an external perspective view showing the cracker. As shown in the figure, the cracker 9 includes a cone-shaped cracker body 9a, in which a plurality of color tapes and an appropriate amount of explosive are stored, and provided at the rear. By pulling the string 9b, the explosive inside is exploded, and a plurality of color tapes can be discharged from the tip with an appropriate explosion sound.

[0003] Since this cracker uses a predetermined appropriate amount of explosive, anyone can easily purchase it, and anyone can use it easily. Cracker does not generate sparks or smoke like fireworks, so it can be used indoors without difficulty. For these reasons, crackers are often used today in places where people gather, such as "parties" and "presentations," and have become a popular prop for excitement.

[0004]

However, the above crackers have the following disadvantages. That is, in order to fire a cracker, it is necessary to hold the cracker body with one hand and pull the string with the other hand, and such work may sometimes be troublesome. For example, when a presenter holding a microphone for a party or the like tries to fire a cracker, the microphone is obstructed and the cracker's string cannot be pulled as expected. In addition, inconveniences such as the moderator's progress being temporarily interrupted in order to fire the cracker occur. Similarly, those holding cups and plates were unable to fire crackers easily and quickly.

[0005] On the other hand, in many cases, the timing at which a cracker is fired is particularly important. For example, there is a case where a cracker is fired immediately after a significant announcement is made or immediately after the leading role appears at a party venue to direct the scene to excite the party. In other words, the cracker can further excite the scene with the "timing" to fire. However, it is difficult to quickly perform a task that is not normally performed even with a simple task of pulling a string, and a “shift” often occurs in the timing of firing the cracker. Similarly, even if multiple people are prepared to fire crackers at the same time, the firing of each person often varies.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A cracker launching toy according to the present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems. The cracker launching toy is provided with an opening for discharging a plurality of color tapes of the cracker. A cracker storage portion capable of holding a cracker in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the cracker with a tip provided, and provided at a rear end of the cracker storage portion,
A string storage room for storing the strings of the installed crackers, and a grip portion provided at an appropriate angle with respect to the string storage room and forming an L-shaped handgun shape with the cracker storage portion and the string storage room. A moving member that has a string holder that locks the string of the cracker and that supports the string holder so that it can advance and retreat in the string storage chamber; And a trigger provided on the grip portion for abutting on the moving member and enabling the cord holder to move in a retreating direction against the elastic means.

[0007] Then, the above-mentioned conventional problem is solved by operating the moving member against the elastic means by pulling the trigger, thereby retreating the cord holder so that the cracker can be fired. It is.
