Description

UNITED STATES PATENT QFFIGE,
WILHELM WIEDEMANN AND LEWIS LINDSEY, OF LAWRENCE, KANSAS.
IMPROVEMENT IN TOY GUNS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 159,003, dated January 19, 1875; application filed July 25, 1874.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that we, WILHELM WIEDE- MANN and LEWrs LINDsEY, of Lawrence, Douglas county, Kansas, have invented a new and Improved Toy Gun, of which the followin g is a specification:
This invention relates to the construction of guns for the amusement ofboys; and consists in the construction, arrangement, and combination of parts hereinafter described.
In the drawing, Figure 1 is a side view. Fig. 2is a top view; Fig. 3, a cross-section of Fig. 2, taken on the line a: a7.
Similar letters of reference indicate correspondin g parts.
The barrel is formed of two parts, A and B, connected together at two points, near the ends of the upper part, so as to leave a narrow open slit between them, with a groove or channel in each, which grooves form the bore of the gun. The projectile (arrow or single shot) is impelled by means of a spring formed of the elastic cord D. This cord is passed through the barrel at the point E, and its ends are attached to the wire cross-head F, which latter passes through the long slit G, having the elastic cord attached to its ends, as seen in Fig. 2. The wire cross-head also passes through the catch-block G, which passes through the bore when the spring recoils. This catchblock has a little notch in its under side, which, when it is drawn back, catches over the point of the tumbler H, (see Fig. 1,) which latter is held in position by the trigger I and spring J. When the trigger is pulled the tumbler is released, the catch-block Gr slips from its end, and away goes the cross-head with the projectile before it. K represents a hole which allows shot to be dropped into the bore of the gun. When an arrow is used it is put in at the muzzle.
The construction and operation are so plainly shown in the drawing that further description is deemed unnecessary.
Having thus described our invention, we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent-- A toy gun constructed as shown and describedthat is, having a slit, 0, in the barrel, formed of two parts, as described, the spring D, wire cross-head E, catch-block G, tumbler H, trigger I, and spring J, when all said parts are arranged to operate as and for the purposes set forth.
