GEORGE J. KIERS TEAD AND WILLIAM F. GEI-IRIG, OF NEWARK, NEW JERSEY.
TOY PISTOL.
1 all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, GEORGE J. KmRs'rnAD and VILLIAM F. GEHRIG, citizens of the United States, and residents of Newark,
county of Essex, andState of New Jersey,
have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Toy Pistols, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to an improved toy pistol which is light in weight and is safe to use thus being well adapted for use by children and one which. can be cheaply made as the main or workingparts are made of sheet metal and further, the assembling is easily done thus cutting down the expense of manufacture.-
The pistol is constructed so that its main central portion is an open-ended support for the cap-exploding device, the barrel member and the end of the handle being secured to the main part or yoke so as to strengthen the device and also give a good finish to the pistol, the barrel having its rear end adapted to act as an anvil against which the caps are exploded by the' hammer. The barrel and end of thehandle can be made of solid but light material such as wood.
The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which Figure 1 is a side view of my improved toy pistol, Fig. 2 is a back view thereof, and Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the pistol except the spring and the bottom of the handle, the parts being shown separated to more clearly illustrate the form and disposition of the parts.
The main part or yoke is made by bending over a sheet of metal thus forming an arch 11 and two wide downwardly and rearwardly extending arms 12 and 13. The barrel member is usually a round short stick of wood which is secured near its back end to the arch 11 by a brad 15 or other securing means. The rear end of the barrel member projects part way between the top parallel edges 16 of the arms. An anvil plate 17 is secured by a brad 18 or similar securing means to the butt end of the stick 14 and has ears 19 which are passed through alined slots 20 near the rear of the top edges 16 of the arms 12 and 13. The cars are headed as at 21 and thus act as rivets to hold the members 10 and 14 together. The hammer 22 is pivoted through its hub 23 to one of the arms, as shown it is the arm 13, and swings 55 in close proximity to the arm, the fastening being preferably an eyelet or rivet 24.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed September 30, 1920. Serial No. 413,84=6;

hammer is formed with a transverse head 25 which strikes against'the anvil to explode a cap.
In front of the handle and pivoted to the same arm as at 26 is a trigger 27 the finger piece of which extends forward of the arms so that it can be pulled easily and it has a finger which extends back and rests on the position. The spring also snaps the hammer down to explode a cap on the anvil when n the trigger is pulled so that the nose 28 is released from the finger 28. The spring is usually secured at its ends by lips 30 and 31 bent up from the material of the trigger and hammer respectively.
The hammer and trigger can be easily-and quickly secured to the arm 13 and then the sheet bent over and the arch 11 formed to which the barrel member is secured. The ends of the arms are spaced and also stiffened by a block 32 usually of wood, which is secured to the arms by brads 33 or the like. The block is extended for a distance below the arms to provide the end of the handle. The whole device is very light in weight and all parts are easily accessible for adjustment and repair.
The upper parallel edges 16 of the arms, by flanking the anvil and extending-partly to the rear thereof prevent any sparks or flash from injuring the hand of the user.
The anvil plate 17 is provided, if desired, with a notch 35 in its top edge, which with the brad lesimulates the sight of a pistol and adds to its appearance. The wooden parts 14 and 32 are usually painted black and when black or blue sheet metal is used on the other parts an attractive toy is proout departing from the scope of our invention.
We claim 1. A toy pistol comprising a sheet metal and a barrel member secured in the arch of the yoke with its butt end forming an anvil for the cap-exploding device.
2. A toy pistol comprising a sheet metal yoke with wide arms extending downwardly and rearwardly, a cap-exploding device be tween the arms and pivoted to one of them, a barrel member secured in the-arch of the yoke with its butt end forming an anvil for the cap exploding device, and'a block secured between the ends of the arms to space them apart and to form the end of the handle.
3. A toy pistol comprising a sheet metal yoke with wide arms extending downwardly and rearwardly, a barrel member secured in the arch of the yoke withits butt end forming ananvil, a hammer pivoted to one of the arms with its head adapted to strike the anvil, a trigger pivoted to the arm to which the hammer is pivoted and having its end projecting to the front of the arms and having a finger to engage the hub of the ham- Y mer, a nose on the hub adapted to be engaged by the finger to holdthe hammer in raised position, and a spring connecting the hammer and the trigger above the pivots of 'both. I
4. A toy pistol comprising a sheet metal yoke, with wide arms extending downwardly and rearwardly and having the top POI'tiOH of said arms parallel to each other said parallel portions having alined slits,
a barrel member in the arch of the yoke and having an anvil plate on its rear end said anvil plate having ears entering the slits and headed to secure the parts together, a sheet metal hammer pivoted'to one of the arms and operating in close proximity thereto-and being formed at its top into a transverse plate'to form ahead to strikethe anvil the hub of the hammer having a nose there GEORGE .J.
