Specification of Iletters Patent. Patented Feb. 10, 1920.

Application filed October 14, 1919. Serial No. 330,561.

To all whom it may concern:

it known that I DANIEL Bna'oszj citizen of Hungary. residing at l intondale, in the county of Camhria and State of sylvania, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Toys, of which the following is specification.

The primary ob siles with great force and accuracy, the in vention being simple in co istruction easy and inexpensive to manufacture.

it further object of the'inventionis to provide a toy shooter readily secured to a support when desired and capable of shooting one or plurality of missiles, adjusting means being provided for changing'the capacity of the shooter. I

With these general objects in view, the invention consists in the combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described, in. connection? with. the acconipan' ing drawings, and in which like reference characters designate corresponding parts throughout the several views.

In thedrawings,

Figure 1 is an elevational view of the invention set orextended,

Fig. '2 is a longitudinal sectional view thereof in its normal position showing a marble ready for shooting,

Fig.3 is a sectional view taken upon line llI- -IH of Fig. 2,

1 is an end elevation of the toy look ing in the direction of the muzzle,

Fig. 5 is a perspective View taken upon line VV of Fig. 3, and

Fig. 6 is an elevational View ofthe oppo site or firing end of the main frame portion of the toy.

. Referring more in detail to the drawings, a skelton frame or casing 10 is provided having opposite rectangular ends 11 and 12 and sides 18, one of which may be provided with openings 14 therein if desired.

A longitudinal partition 15 substantially centrally of the casing lOhas a longitudinal slot 16 terminating, incircular openings 17 and.18 centrally of the endsll and 12. A

barrel19 longitudinallyslidable in the slots 16 through the openings 17 and 18 has lat- .erally projecting pins 20 slidably mounted in guide grooves '21 in the oppositeedgcs of the slots 16. It will be seen that the barrel 9 may slide longitudinally of the casing 10 Penn- V j V 'eot of the invention to, provide a toy adapted for shooting mlsprcvented from rotation by the pins 20 in the grooves 21.

Acoil spring 22 surrounds the barrel 19 with its opposite ends connected to the easing end 12 as at 23 and to an annular shoulder 24 of the barrel as at 25. A shaft 26. is longitudinally adjustably positioned within the barrel 19 having a slightly enlarged portion 27 of the shaft threaded into a screw. threaded portion 28 of the barrel '19. A reduced extension or rod 29 of the shaft slides I through a perforation 30 in the outer end of the barrel 19 and is provided with a cross I handle 31 whereby the shaft is turned for ad ustment within said barrel. A spring 32 between a head 33 at the outer end of the shaft rod 29 and. the outer end 34 of the barrel 19 prevents the rod from accidental turning in the barrel, although permitting the adjustment of the shaft When'desired.

An annular. depression 35 in the outerfaoe of'theend 11 forms a muzzle 3G centrally of said'end and with which the outer'end of the *barrel 19 is normally positioned flush by the spring 22. The sidesof the bore through the .barrel'19 are beveled'as at '37 adjacent the muzzle end of the toy and-a missile such 'asthe marble 38 is readily'positioned therein scated'upon the adj accnt endof the shaft 26. By retracting the shaft 26 'to a greater extent, more missiles may be seated in the lnuzzl'e'end of thebarrel for shooting and it size maybe employed with the toy.

he complete operation of the invention will be apparent from this detailed descri tion thereof, the relative position of t e partsbeingfnormally as shown. inFigs. 2

and 3 of the drawings; The marble 38 being placed in position, the handle 31 is grasped and the barrel forced "outwardly against the action of the spring 29 while the casing 10 is firmly held by the operator. Upon releasing the handle 31, the spring '32 draws the barrel 19 forcibly through the slot 16 and projects the missile 38 with great force through the muzzle 36 .of the toy. Cords will be understood that missles of "different support and openings 42 are provided in the flange for suitable holdfast devices, not shown. lVhile the form of the invention setforth is believed preferable, it will be understood that minor changes may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed.

What I claim as new is 1. A shooter comprising a casing having a passage therethrough, a barrel slidable through said passage, a spring normally holding the barrel within the passage adapted for extension upon setting the shooter for operation and adjustable means within the barrel adapted for changing the capacity of the shooter at will.

2. A shooter comprising a casing having opposite ends with central perforations, a partition through the casing having a slot terminating in said perforations, a barrel slidable through said slot and perforations, means adapted to prevent rotation of the barrel, a spring adapted to return the barrel to its normal position when forcibly retracted, and means within the barrel for en gaging a missile in firing position and having an extension outwardly of the barrel adapted for grasping in projecting the latter.

3. A shooter comprising a casing having opposite ends with central perforations, a partition through the casing having a slot terminating in said perforations, a barrel slidable through said slot and perforations, means adapted to prevent rotation of the barrel, a spring adapted to return the barrel to its normal position when forcibly retracted, a shaft threaded in the barrel with one end inwardly of the muzzle end of the barrel adapted for accommodating missiles, an extension rod carried by the shaft projecting through the other end of the barrel and an operating handle upon the outer end of said rod.

4. A shooter comprising a casing having opposite ends with central perforations, a

aartition throughthe casing having a'slot terminating in said perforations, a barrel slidable through said slot and perforations, means adapted to prevent rotation of the ban rel, aspring adapted to return the barrel to its normal position when forcibly retracted, a shaft threaded in the barrel with one end inwardly of the muzzle end of the barrel adapted for accommodating missiles, an extension rod carried by the shaft projecting through the other end of the barrel, an opcrating handle upon the outer end of said rod, a spring between the outer end of the rod and barrel adapted for preventing accidental turning of the shaft, cords cons ,nected between the barrel and adjacent end of the casingadapted for limitingthe projectlon of the barrel during the extending of the spring and a mounting the casing.

5. A toy comprising a casing, a flange upon the casing adapted for mounting the toy upon a support, one side'of the casing having openings therein, atransverse partition within the casing having a longitudinal slot provided with opposite grooves, perforations in the ends of the casing in alinement with said slot, one end of the casing having an annular cut away portion forming a muzzle surrounding the perforation thereof, a barrel slidable through said slot and perforationshaving a bore with its outer end beveled normally positioned adjacent said muzzle adapted for the reception of missiles, projecting pins carried by the barrel slidable in said grooves, an annular shoulder upon the barrel exteriorly of the opposite end of thecasing from'sai'd muzzle, a normally retracted spring surrounding the barrel with its ends secured to said shoulder and the adjacent end of the casing and means for limiting'the introduction of missiles in the muzzle end of the barrel and for retracting the barrel outwardly of the easing during the extending of said spring.

7. Av toy comprising a casing, 'a flange upon the casing adapted for mounting the toy upon a support, one side, of the casing having openings therein, a transverse partition within the casing having a longitudinal slot provided with opposite grooves, perforations in the ends of the casing in 'aline ment with said slot, one end of the casing having an annular cut away portion forming a muzzle surrounding the perforation thereof, a barrel slidable through said slot and perforations having a bore With its outer end beveled normally positioned adjacent said. muzzle adapted for the reception of missiles, projecting pins carried by the barrel slidable in said grooves, an annular shoulder upon the barrel exterlorly of the opposite end of the casing from said muzzle,
