This invention relates to new and advantageous improvements in toy pistols for discharging rubber bands and like projectiles. I

An object of the invention comprehends the provision of a sight for the articleof ordnance. 1

Another object of the invention contemplates a slide mounting for the sight. I

An additional object of the invention consists of a trigger construction for the toy eng'ageable with the projectile carried by the sight. r

\Vith the above and otherobjects in view,

the invention further consists of the following novel features anddetails .of construction, to be hereinafter more fully descrlbed, illustrated in the accompanying drawlng and pointed out in the appended claims.

In the drawing Figure 1 is a side elevation of my invention.

Figure 2 is a top plan view thereof.

Figure 3 is a rear end elevation of the invention. 7 Figure4 is a vertical horizontal sectional view taken ,on line 44 of Figure 1.

Referring to the drawing in detail wherein like characters of reference denote cor-. responding parts, the reference character 10 indicates thehandle or stock of atoy article of ordnance having abarrel 11 and which is adapted to simulate, in effect, an

automatic pistol.

The sight, such as indicated at 12, for the toy pistol, is raised'for an appreciable distance above the upper surface of the barrel 11 as best shown inFig-' ure 4 of the drawing.

An extension or tongue 13 carried by and depending from the under surface of the disposed within the upper side of and ad.

jacent the outermost extremity of said bar-v nel 14, is engaged at its opposite end with the adjacent end ofthe extension or tongue 13 for the sight 12, substantially as illustrated in Figure :2 of the; drawing. 1-

5 A lug. 17 ofelongated flattenedforma tion, is extended horizontally through the tongue or extension. 13 and has its respective ends projected for. appreciable 1 1distances--beyond the outer surfaces of said extension. for final disposition within elongated slots or.

raceways 18 in the barrel ll andespecially those portions thereof forming the side walls of the channel or groove 14.

From the foregoing, it will be noted that, a slide mounting is provided for the sight and which is induced, by thextension of the ,spring 15, to occupy a position adjacent the, forward end-ofthechannel. 1

The triggerconstruction comprises a trig-1 ger arm or lever 18 pivotally mounted, as indicated atl9, between spaced ears 20 projecting for appreciable distances beyond the rear side edge of the butt, stock orhandle 10, and preferably at an intermediate point in the length thereof. "A springleaf 21, carried upon the butt or handle. 10 between the ears 20, is bent upon itself and sprung at its op-. posite endagainst theinner surface or side of the lever, or trigger 18", in. the manner shown in Fig'ure'l of :the drawing. Necessarily, the opposite and free end of the le-, ver or trigger 18' is forced or otherwise induced against. the corner or point, of intersectionbetween the butt or handle and the barrel. rubber band, inathe form of a stripor of annular formation, as indicated; at. 22, is initiallylooped about the forward end of the sight 12 whereas the remaining rearwardly extending extremities. 1 thereof;

arearranged in overlapping relation upon: the upper side of the barre'l' 11" adj acent the handle, stock orfbutt 10 for interpositionbe-I tween theaforementioned contacting end of 7 thetrigger or lever 18 and the adj acent side; of the handle The present invention offers severala'dded 5 features, in view of toys of likenaturenow" in use, namely, the trigger construction i teaches the modern-triggersqueeze whereby a gradually compressing action-by the hand} of the operator and against theitriggenon lever 18 will release the aforementioned loo as claims. n -Hav1ng thus overlapping ends or yoke portion of the i band located between the adjacent ends of the lever and handle of the pistol. F urthere more, a sight for the pistol not only facil- 5 itates the aiming of the pistol to discharge the projectile at a desired point, but which also servesthe purposeof holding and providing means tostretch the band or projectile.

" sliding mountings therefor which, due to the The majoradvantage and utility-however, I for the sight resides in the provision of the tiles stretched from the sight against the tension of the compression spring. 7 In testimony whereof I a ffix my signature.

spring tension exercised thereagainst, will in turn coact with the releasing of the trigwith anadded amountof pressure in addi tion to the rebound j action incident. to the elastic qualities-inherent in the projectile per se whereby the aforesaidprojectile will i be discharged'for greater distances. I v v The spring '15 .is of such strength that ger to shove or ejectthe projectile or band J upon the releasing of the trigger and projectile, the sight 12 will slide upon the upper escri'bed the invention, what is clalmed 1s.:
