" Thepresent invention relait-es to improve mentin air guns and has for its -primary I object to provide agun' of thistype designed ;to produce aloud report.

' A furtherobrect of the invention: is: the

provision'of agunof the above character which is capable of producfingfa series'of rapid reports by repeated operation'of the mechanism. 1 "i further object of the'invention is the provision of-a, noise producinggunbpen ated by mean s'of compressed air.

24 and 26 are arranged inadd z become apparent as the description pro-j c arms connected with an angularly projecting transverse plate 30. Rigidly secured to the lower end of the bracket 29 and depending outwardly thereof is a handle 31 formed of a metallic rod bent in the form of a loop.

a stationary position.

Slidably fitted in the opening formed in the lower end of the cylinder 11 and arranged for reciprocating movement in the cylinder is a longitudinal piston rod 32, the lower extremity projecting through the lower end of the cylinder and formed with an elongated transversely extending handle loop Firmly secured upon the upper end of the piston rod 32 and snugly fitted within the cylinder 11 is a piston 34: designed to compress the air within the cylinder during the upward stroke of the piston.

In operation, a strip of paper of suitable thickness is rolled upon the pin 21, the free end of the strip being trained to extend in contact with the lower surface of the block 18 and between the rollers 24. and 26.

Duringthe initial arrangement of the paper strip, themagazine frame is tilted at an upward angle to facilitate the feeding operation. The

rollers

24 and 26 are arranged so as to firmly engage the paper strip therebetween, as shown to advantage in Figure 3. After the strip is arranged in proper position. the magazine frame is lowered to a horizontal position on the carrier frame and secured thereto by swinging the U- shaped bracket 29 to a downward position so that the transverse plate 30 of the bracket will engage the bottom plate of the carrier frame. In this position. the magazine frame will be tightly fastened on the carrier frame and the strip of material tightly compressed between the block 18 and the bottom transverse plate of the carrier frame.

The piston is then lowered to the bottom end of the cylinder and forced suddenly upward. compressing the air within the upper end of the cylinder until the compression is sufficient to puncture the feed strip. When the air is compressed to a suitable compression. the portion of the feed strip arrangedin alignmentwith the bore 19 and opening 12 of the carrier frame will be punctured and produce a relatively loud report.

This operation may be repeated by swinging the bracket 29 in an upward are so as to rotate the feed roller and simultaneously release the magazine frame. This movement of the bracket will rotate the feed roller and draw the strip through the frame. The

bracket is then returned to its initial position to lock the same and compress an unused section of the strip between the block 18 and the carrier frame. It is thus apparent that a number of successive reports may be produced at short intervals. thus providing an air gun which may be employed as a toy or as a signal.

It is to be understood that the form of my invention herewith shown and described is to be taken as the referred evample of the same. and that various changes as to the shape size and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the subjoined claims.
