Appiication iie'd Maron 21, 'Mle T0 all who-my it may canoe/rn. s

.Be it known that I, JAMES HA1 GoLLrNs, of the city of Hnrrisimrg, county of Dau piiin, State of Pennsjf'ivania, have invented certain new 'and useful inqrovernents in Toys, and of which he foiiowing is a fuii und exact. description.

The objecJ of' the invention 'is to provie n novel toy forboth boys and girls, whigh can be manufactured at an ext2-remeb-7 ow Cost, and which wiii not easnyA become vbroken or diserrzmged.

Another object is to provide n, toy which, like i1, pistoi, is heid i'n the han@ and oper'uted by a singie finger; one which Wiil not maire zin objectionable noise or in onf; Way

,endanger the life of the user; one which Wii not 35@ as fiorini toys, into iimoeese wie places, or' iezid fiie user into langere pieces 'd one wiiieii wiii be so 'unique and imnsimi in its oppearanoe and operation, as to ettraet and hold the attention and in t-eresi'. of cixiidren and aduiis of both the sexes, A

Still another 'object isto provi :L oy, a noifei forni of Self-Cookin e in suoli. ff mecha C) mein, and :in improved arrengenieniand operation of the pari/S of tlfie trigger reiease or escape-mimi: mechanism. .nri .another oo ject is to provide in a. modification of sudo a toy o, simple xneehanisln that will efiicientiy make ili'ieanimal or other automaton rear or ii.' i jump back 5rd, or viseA verga or to kiek its hind iegs outwary ssii 'ri oo upon its fore feet.
