The upper another bail fooiuto the firing barrel from a barrel portion B' forms the magazine for holding magazine iS ootllaitod .by the spring pressed the balls and the lower barrel portion B2 contains plunger, thereby compressing air between the the nring barrel D. The latter is arranged in the balls which eXpels the one in the muzzle and also muzzle portion and is secured in position preferl()l produces a report. ably by spot-welding. Just in advance of the It is the object of the present invention to obbarrel D the false barrel has a portion E formtain a gun of this type having various advaning a channel through which the balls can pass tages including simplicity of construction and from the upper magazine portion down into the 16 eciency in operation. The invention, therefore, lower barrel portion B2. The balls are guided l5."
consists in the novel construction as hereinafter into this channel by an inclined deflector. This set forth. is preferably formed of a strip of metal having In the drawing: a portion F secured inside and to the upper Figure 1 is a central longitudinal section portion of the barrel B' preferably by spotthrough my improved gun, Showing the Parts irl welding, and at its forward end having an up- 20 unloading position; turned portion F2 which forms a sight. In rear Figure 2 is a bottom plan view thereof; of the portion E the lower barrel B2 has arranged Figure 3 is an enlarged similar section through therein a tubular bushing G which holds the the muzzle Portion, Showing the parts in loaded balls from rolling rearward and alsov forms a position; stop or abutment for the head H on the plunger I. 25
Figure 4 S 2m end elevation 0f the InuZZle end; This plunger is formed of a rod I which extends Figure 5 is a cross section on line 5-5 of rearward within the lower barrel B2, being pro- Fi'ure 1; vided at its rear end with a hook portion I2 en- Figure 6 is a horizontal section on line 6-6 of gaged by the link J.

The stock A, preferably formed A gun 0f the type above described is of the of wood, has a frame portion A of sheet'metal nature of a pop gun designed to produce a loud which embraces the frame C` land is pivotally 351 report, but With Slight force on the projectile. attached thereto by a cross pin M. Another pin To accomplish this it is essential that the pro- N attached to the portion A' engages the rear end jectile should be relatively light in mass and this of :the link J and the arrangement is such that I preferably accomplish by forming the balls of the breaking down of the gun will draw this link light material. It is also necessary that the propressing the spring K. O is a combined trigger jeotiles Should friotiouaily engage the ring guard and sear formed of sheet metal,` the ,sear barrel so that one is held at the muzzle and forms portion having a notch O' which when lthe a stopper, while a succeeding ball will compress plunger is drawn rearward will be engaged by the air against the rst and finally expel it. I, the hook I2 to retain the spring under compres- 45 therefore, form the balls of a diameter slightly in sion. The member O is pivoted on a cross pin excess of the internal diameter of the ring bar- O2 and a small spring O3 normally holds it in rel, while the yielding nature of the material of position for engaging the hook I2. The forward which the balls are formed permits of forcing end of the plunger which projects beyond the a composition of ground cork or other relatively rearward carrying with it the plungerl and com- 40v them through the barrel, and forming an air head1-lis preferably formed of atube P, the rear 50 tight t therein. On the other hand, the magaportion of which is sleeved upon the rod I', while zine in which the balls are held is suiliciently the forward portion is adapted to engage the larger in diameter to permit of successively feedprojectile balls. ing them into operative relation to the firing To guide the plunger I when drawn rearward barrel. there is arranged within the upper barrel portion p5 B' a tube Q which has a groove Q' on its underside for engaging the upper end of the hook I2. The forward end of this tube has ears Q2 struck inward to form a stop for limiting the movement of the balls in the magazine. Just in advance of this is an aperture R in one side of the barrel portion B through which the balls may be inserted into the magazine, but which is so restricted in diameter as to slightly compress each ball during insertion. Thus when once in the magazine there will be no danger of a ball dropping out through the aperture R.
In operation the gun is loaded by inserting balls S through t'he aperture R into the magazine barrel B until this magazine is completely lled. The forward ball will contact with the deector F and will drop down in the portion E. However, in normal position of parts as shown in Figure l, the tubular forward end P of the plunger will be extended into the firing barrel D and will hold the balls S from dropping down. To load the gun the stock A is turned downward on its pivot M which through the pin N and link J draws rearward the plunger I, compressing the spring K and engaging the hook I2 with the sear O'. During this movement the plunger is guided by the sliding of the hook I2 in the groove Q of the tube Q. The rearward movement of the plunger withdraws the tubular portion P to the rear of the channel portion E of the barrel, thereby permitting one of the balls S to drop down into the lower barrel B2 in rear of the barrel D and forward of the bushing G. The pulling of the trigger will release the hook Iz from the sear and the compressed spring will propel the plunger forward striking the ball which is in alignment therewith and forcing it through the barrel D to the forward end thereof. The rear end of this barrel Dis beveled or flared as indicated at D so as to permit the ball to enter the tube, but because of the smaller diameter of the latter there is a fairly high frictional resistance to its movement. This is sufficient to hold the ball at the muzzle end of the barrel after the stopping of the plunger I by the striking of the head H against the stop G. If, however, a previous operation of the gun has lodged the ball S at the muzzle end of the barrel the forward movement of the succeeding ball will compress the air in the barrel D until it attains a pressure sufficient to overcome the frictional resistance and expel the forward ball. Thus with each succeeding operation a new ball is passed from the magazine into the channel E and in alignment with the barrel D and upon the pulling of the trigger will be forced through the barrel D to expel the proceeding ball and to take its place.
What I claim as my invention is:
1. In a toy gun designed for firing soft slightly compressible balls, a false barrel having a longitudinally extending central contraction therein giving the appearance of a double barrel one barrel above the other, the upper portion constituting a magazine for the balls, a firing barrel at the forward end of the lower portion of said false barrel and of an internal normal diameter slightly less than the diameter of said balls so as to deform the same while passing therethrough, a channel for the successive passage of balls from the forward end of said magazine into alignment with said firing barrel, a spring pressed plunger in the lower portion of said false barrel and in alignment with said ring barrel, a cooperating trigger and sear, means for retracting said plunger to compress the spring, a hook at the rear end of said plunger for engaging said sear and a longitudinally grooved member secured in the upper portion of said false barrel and forming a guide for said plunger.

3. In a toy gun designed for firing soft slightly compressible balls, a false barrel having an upper portion constituting a magazine for the balls, a firing barrel at the forward end of the lower portion of said false barrel and of a diameter slightly less than the normal diameter of the balls so as to deform the same while passing therethrough, a trigger controlled spring pressed plunger in alignment with said firing barrel and located in the lower portion of said false barrel,
