TOY CARTRIDGE Filed June 4, 1956 bers 3.
Patented Nov. 2, 1937 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFCE TOY CARTRIDGE Application `une 4', 1936, Serial No. 83,559
Claims.
This invention relates to toy pistols and a'mmunition therefor.
The pistol may be of the single shot type or constructed as a revolver. It may in fact be an actual revolver with a magazine chamber preferbly spiked to prevent the adventurous use therein of an actual cartridge.
vThe ammunition is an ordinary paper cap.
The principal `object of the invention is the provision of aV removable cartridge which might logically be called an adapter since it adapts an actual revolver to the firing of paper caps.
More particularly, the object of thelinvention is to .provide a toy cartridge simulating an actual cartridge excepting that no part of it issues as a missile from the gun, said cartridge having ring mechanism cooperating with the hammer of the gun for Iexploding the cap, and having an anterior bore communicating with the gun barrel on the one hand and with the region of the explosion on the other, for letting out the noise.
Other and more specific objects of the invention will appear' as the following description of the preferred embodiment thereof proceeds.
In the drawing which accompanies and forms a part of the following specification and throughout the several figures of which the same characters' of reference have been employed to designate identical parts- Figure 1 is a side elevation of a revolver adapted -to the present invention;
Figure 2 is an end View partly in section of the magazine;
Figure 3 is a side elevation of the toy cartridge;
Figure 4 is a side sectional view of the cartridge;
Figure 5 is an end View of the anvil plate;
Figure 6 is an elevational View through the magazine chamber and cartridge in a slightly modified form of the invention showing complementary inter-fitting means.
Referring now in detail to the several figures, the numeral I represents a revolver having the conventional magazine 2 for the cartridge cham- Figure l depicts an actual revolver which has been made safe for its converted purpose as a toy by fixing a pin 4 across each of the cartridge chambers, said pin forming obstructions making the chambers too short to receive an actual cartridge. Where it is attempted to load actual cartridges into the magazine the butt ends of the cartridges will project preventing closing the magazine and rendering the gun inoperative. Since the invention contemplates the provision of a toy cartridge simulating an actual cartridge it follows that the toy pistol itself may be constructed like any actual pistol capable of receiving a conventional cartridge.
Referring now to the toy cartridge II illustrated in Figures 3, 4, and 5, it comprises a shell 5 and a nose 6 simulating a bullet the shell being crimped around the nose 6 as at 'I in the manner of an ordinary cartridge. The base of the shell has a rim 8 with a hole 9 in the center through which a hammer stem Iii extends adapted to be struck by the firing pin of the revolver. The toy cartridge I I is constructed to receive an ordinary circular paper cap and with this end in view the shell 5 is cut away as at I2 giving easy access to the interior. Within the shell is an anvil plate i3 resting against the nose 6 and forming a ridged abutment for the paper cap Ill. Back of the vanvil plate I3 the nose is cut away forming a gas chamber I5 and the anvil plate is formed with a plurality of perforations I6 communicating with the gas chamber so that when cap Ill is exploded the compressed gases of the explosion pass through the perforations I6 and into the gas chamber I5. The nose portion 6 is provided with an axial bore il communicating with the gas chamber and with atmosphere at the outer end of the cartridge. YA valve I8 normally closes the outer end of the bore Il. Said valve has a stem I9 extending through the said bore and having a head 25 on its inner end in close proximity to the'perforated anvil plate I3. A light spring 2l between the head 2! of the nose portion 6 normally biases the Valve I8 to a closed position. The impact resulting from the explosion of the cap suddenly strikes upon the head opening the valve and letting out the noise. Within the shell 5 is a hammer 22 secured to the inner end of the hammer stem I. Said stem passes through a guide block 23 in the base portion of the shell and projects slightly beyond the shell. A light spring 2A normally urges the hammer into contact with the anvil plate or into engagement with the cap if the latter happens to be in place. The hammer is provided with an annular peripheral channel 25 aifording means in which to engage the ngernail for the purpose of pulling the hammer back to get out the exploded cap and to replace it with a fresh one.
The entire length of the toy cartridge is preferably shorter than that of an actual cartridge so that the toy cartridge will t a revolver or other gun the magazine chambers of which have been so modified as to make them too short to receive a real cartridge.
In operationzthe :magazineis loaded with toy l 'cartridges each of which has had a` 'capinsertedr between vthe I hammer yand anvil f plate.
