O. G. AMLEE.
TOY PISTOL.
APPLICATION FILED OCT- 3l, 1921.
Patented Aug. 1, 1922.
.llldlll 3Q A A v ii m l5 STATES OLE G. AMLEE, OF
ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA.
TOY PISTOL.
TAQ LALSZ.
Application filed October 31, 1921.
To aZZ 'w 710m it may concern Be it known that I, OLE (t. AMLEE, a citizen of the United States, residing at St. Paul, in the county of Ramsey and State of Minnesota, have invented a new and useful Toy Pistol, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to toy pistols and the object is to provide a cheap and simple toy gun which shall be easy to operate and maintain in repair.
In the accompanying drawing:
Fig. l is a side view of my improved toy pistol.
Fig. 2 is a front end view of Fig. 1.
Referring to the drawing by reference numerals, 3 designates the barrel or body of the pistol and may be made of either wood or metal as may also the handle or stock 4 of same.
The barrel or bore 5 extends throughout the entire length of the body and in it is arranged a slidable plunger or ejector rod 6 provided at its rear end with a head '7 having a notch 8 and adapted to stop against the rear end of the barrel. At certain dis tances from the front end of the rod the upper side is provided with notches 9, 9 9 and the lower side with notches 10+ l.l-l2.
The stock is formed with a downward mortise 13, in which is pivoted at 14 a trip lever 15 having its upper end 16 adapted to engage either one of the notches 10 to 12 in the plunger when the latter is retracted to shooting position. The lower end of said trip lever has a notch 17 in which engages the forward bight 18 of an endless rubber band 19, which has its rear bight 20 engaged in the notch 8, and its middle portion raised some by lateral projections 21 on the stoclr, so as to cause the rear portion of the band to pull practically in the line of movement of the plunger.
Rearward of the lever 15 is pivoted at 22 a trigger 23, having its lower arm arranged for operation by a finger of the hand holding the stock, while the upper arm has its end rounded at 24c and arranged to press against the lower arm of the trip lever 15, so as to disengage the upper end of the latter from the notches 10-12 in firing the pistol.
The operation is already understood to be Specification of Letters Patent.
that a bullet or Patented Aug. 1, 1922. Serial No. 511,576.
projectile 25 is placed in the muzzle of the gun and by raising the muzzle upward and retracting the plunger by its head 7 the projectile will slide against the retracted front end of the plunger, and the latter is engaged by the end 16 of the trip lever and held thereby until the trigger is pulled, when the rubber band will send the plunger forward and eject the projectile. The latter is given more or less force and speed according to which of the notches 10 to 12 is engaged by the trip lever as the tension of the band is varied thereby, and which. notch 10-12 is engaged is indicated by the appearance of notches 9, 9 or 9 beyond the rear end of the barrel. The force applied to the projectile may also be increased by using a heavier band or several light bands.
Whenever the band or bands are worn out they are readily replaced by new ones.
lVhat I claim is:
1. In a toy gun, a barrel having a stock at one end and a bore throughout its entire length, a downward mortise in the stock registering with the bore, an ejector rod slidable in the bore and having a notched head at its rear end and the under side of its front portion provided with a series of notches, an inclined trip lever fulcrumed in the mortise and having its upper end arranged to engage the notched under side of the ejector rod, the lower end of the trip lever projecting out below the barrel and having its projecting end engaged by an elastic band, said band being passed rearwardly from the trip lever to engage the notched head of the ejector rod and being always in tension tending to keep the trip lever engaged and to push the ejector rod forward simultaneously, said ejector rod having in its upper side notches becoming visible rearward of the barrel when the rod is more or less retracted, and a trigger arranged to disengage the trip lever from the ejector rod, substantially as shown and described.
2. The structure specified in claim 1, and means for guiding the rear portion of the band into more parallel relation to the ejector rod than the front portion of said band.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
OLE G. AMLEE.
