OY PISTOL.

8PEGIFICA 'IION formingpart o Letters Patent. lo:238,596,. dated Marchlie lfifil,

Application filed June 23,1830. .(No model.) I

a removable side, in which frame the trigger and hammer are mounted on the same pintle, the hammer having. a forked lever pivoted thereto in such a manner that when the pistol is cooked the said forked lever rotates a friction-wheel around which a percussion-tape passes, whereby the length of one cap is unwound from the percussiontape roll in the pistol and is fed upon a plate, upon which thehammer strikes when the trigger is drawn, thereby exploding said cap. s

In the'accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional elevation of my improved toy pistol. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same. tion-whecl as it is held in the pistol. Fig.4

is a side elevation of the forked lever. Fig. 5

is a side elevation of the hammer and pivoted fork. Fig.6 is a side elevatiou of the trigger.

Fig. 7 is an end view, in elevation, showing the relative position of thespring, the barrel,

and the projection of the removableside piece.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

The pistol-frame A is constructed with a hollow handle, B, containingthe mainspring O, and with a chamber, 1), provided with a removable side, E, which is held to the pistol by means of a dovetailed tenon, a, and a spring, F, embracing the barrel G, and the frontfcurved or semi-cylindrical part, b, of the removable side E. The chamber D contains a roll, H, of percussion-tape, I, held by a pin, 0, passing through the center of said roll, and also contains a small wheel or roller, J, covered with rubber or. like material on the pc- 50 riphery, and provided with a series of laterallyprojecting studs,d d, on one side, Which wheel J is pivoted in the sides of the chamber D by Fig. 3 is a top view of the fricmeans of a central pin, f. The percussiontape I. passes from the roll H to the friction-wheel J, partially around the same. and passes out of the chamber D through a slot,

K, in the top ot'the same. The hammer L and the trigger M are both pivoted by one and the same pintle, N, the upper part of the trigger M fitting into a corresponding recess, 6o 0, in the side of the lower part of the hammer L.- A fork, P, is pivoted to' the hammer L by means of the p intle g, in such a manner that the prongs of the fork engage oueofthe studs 01 dot the wheel J when the pistol is being cocked. The side ot'the hammer to which the fork P is'pivoted is provided witha-suih able recessed part, as shown in Fig. 5, and

with two laterally-projeoting studs, 11 1), holding a veryfine spring, Q,which' presses against the rear end of the fork P, as shown in-Fig:5.-,- so as to push the fork into its proper positionthat is, with its edge 1 resting againstthe shoulders of the hammer after the firing ot' the pistol. The opposite side of the hammer, 7 5- into which the upper part of the trigger tits,

is provided with a laterally-projecting stud, R, at the lower end,against which stud the mainspring 0 presses, and against which the trigger is pressed in firing the pistol. i

The operation is as follows: The percussion-tape I having been placed into thechamher D, passed partially around the roller or wheel J and through the slot K, the pistol is ready for firing. The hammer M is drawn. back in the direction of the arrow w, and thereby its lower end and the stud 'R move in. the direction of the arrow 3 the stud It pass ing to the end ofthe mainspringfl, and is held. in this position by the said springtime the on pressure of'the, end of the spring is exerted on a line running to the center of the pintleN; but by drawing the hammer back in the direction of tlie arrow to theshoulder s of the hammer has pressed against the upper edge, 5 1', of the fork P, causing the fork to rotate with the hammer. The fork engages with oneof the studs d d of the wheel J, and rotates said wheel in the direction of the arrow 2', thereby}. unwinding the tape I the length of one cap and feeding said cap upon the 'plate'in front of the slot K. The studs (1 d on the wheel J must be so arranged that one cap only is fed: for every engagement of the forkv P with one A at Ell'ilit:

g 1 easmm of the said studs d d. If the trigger M is new pulled iirfiorees the stud R back from the end of the spring 0, and as the pressure of said spring is then not exerted on a radial line the said spring; forces he rear end of the hammer upward and the front end downward upon the cap in front or" the slot K, thereby exploding said-cap As soon as the hammer descends the spring Q forces the rear end of the fork P against bile shouider s again.

Having time described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire coseeu're by Letters Patent, is-- V V 7 1. In a toy pistol the cem bination with the frame A, constructed with a ehamber,D, of
