TOY G-UN.

Application filed June 23, 1915.

This invention relates to new and useful.

improvements in toy guns, and pertains more particularly to that type known as spring guns.

The primary object of the present invention is to provide a gun which is simple in construction and cheap of manufacture.

Referring to the drawings: Figure 1 is a side elevation of a gun constructed in accordance with the present invention. Fig. 2 is a top plan view thereof. Fig. 3 is a view with one of the side plates removed and showing the several parts in the firing position. Fig. 1 is a similar view showing the position of the several parts when the gun has been fired. Fig. 5 is a detail perspective view of the ejector. Fig. 6 is a perspective view showing the method of mounting the trigger, and Fig. 7 is a modified form showing the mechanism applied to the revolver.

' Referring more particularly to the drawings, the reference character 1 represents the stock of the gun, and secured thereto and projecting forwardly therefrom are oppositely disposed side plates 2 and 3, said plates being secured together to form a barrel by means of a bolt 1, and secured to the stock 1 by means of the bolt 5.

A partition 6 extends longitudinally of the barrel, said partition forming an upper chamber 7 and a lower chamber 8.

The upper chamber 7 is provided with a screw cap 9, said chamber forming the shot magazine of the gun, the cap 9 being removed to fill said receptacle.

Pivoted to the rear end of the partition 6 is a trigger 10 which is provided with a notch 11, and has its lower end projected through a recess 12 in the gun stock 1. The front end of the partition 6 terminates at a point short of the front end of the shot magazine and provides an opening 13 through the medium of which the shot are permitted to pass to the passage 14:, said passage 14 extending through the barrel of the gun and has its rear end in communication with the chamber 8.

Slidably mounted in the chamber 8 is an Specification of Letters Patent.

Serial No. 35,961.

ejector 15 the forward end of which is notched as at 16, and rigidly secured to the ejector and adapted to engage in said notch is a spring 17 the outer end of which is bent upwardly as at 18 for a purpose to'be hereinafter described.

The rear end of the ejector is provided with a notch 19 which notch as shown in Fig. 6 is adapted to engage the projection 20 formed on the trigger by one of the walls of the recess 11.

Surrounding the ejector 15 and secured to the barrel by means of a bolt 22 is a coil spring 23 the other end of which is secured in the opening 24 in the ejector, Surrounding the ejector is a collar 25 and secured thereto is an operating handle 26 which projects through the slot 27 in one side of the The front end of the barrel is provided in internal bore with a recess 28 which is adapted to receive the spring 17 when the mechanism is in the discharging position.

In operation the shot magazine 7 is filled with shot, and owing to the inclination of the partition 6 said shot feed forwardly in the magazine chamber, and are permitted to pass one at a time through the passage 13. The operator now grasps the handle 27 and moves the ejector rearwardly until its notch 19 engages the projection 20 and the trigger 10, this operation placing the coil spring 23 under tension. When the ejector has been retracted to this position, one of the shot drops off of the end thereof and as shown in Fig. 3 is held in position by the upwardly turned end of the spring 18. Upon rocking the trigger on its pivot, the ejector 15 is released and is forced forwardly under the influence of the coil spring 23, and upon its extent of movement the spring 17 is received within the recess 28 which permits of the bent up end 18 falling below the internal bore of the barrel and permitting the slot to be discharged from the muzzle of the gun.

In Fig. 7 the mechanism is shown as applied to a revolver, and includes a handle 30 and the barrel 31 the upper portion of which is provided with a shot magazine 32. The bottom wall of the bore of the barrel is provided with a recess 33, and slidable in 7 ote-d to the lower end of the trigger 36 is a bar 88 which. projects through the forward face of the handle 30.

hen the pivoted lever 38 is moved through the handle 30, the trigger releases the ejector 3%, the operation being the same as described above.

Having thus described the invention What is claimed and desired to protect by Letters Patent is:

In a gun, a barrel, a magazine chamber communicating with the bore of the barrel, an ejector slidable through the bore of the barrel, means carried by the ejector for receii'ing the shot from the shot magazine, a. spring surrounding the ejector and adapted to place the same under tension, means for engagement with the ejector to hold the spring under tension, and means for releasing the tension of the spring to move the ejector forwardly and discharge the shot from the gun.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of tWo Witnesses.
