  • This invention is such a toy missile launcher as described above. Therefore, in playing this toy, at first the launching is made to be out of mesh from the transmission by the changing lever in order to avoid shooting the missile by accident. Next, missiles are inserted into the launching tubes, respectively, then they compress the spiral springs in the tubes and are held by the check pawls which protrude through the slits of the polygonlike prismoid. After charging the missiles, the changing lever is made to return back in order to set the launching in mesh with the transmission means. The launching is driven through the rotating shaft by the transmission.
  • the launching tubes and the launching 1evers revolve about the rotating shaft and when the rear ends of the launching levers come successively in contact with the cam member, they are pushed up by it and the check pawls are depressed inside the polygon-like prismoid. Then the missiles become free from the check pawls and are shot successively by repulsion of the compressed spiral springs.
  • the above sequence is repeated every time when the rear end of the launching lever is brought to the position of the cam-like piece by revolution.
  • This toy differs from the conventional one, namely the former is able to launch successively the missiles, but the latter is able to do only one launch with one charge. Therefore, this toy may attract childrens interest as it behaves realistically like a real thing.
