  • the inner part may be formed with a IT STATES PATENTS ring of teeth for cooperation with an indexing finger 2,855,715 10/1958 Weimer 42/58 on the hammer mechanism. 2,977,950 4/1961 Ryan 42/58 3,225,480 12/1965 Ferri et al. 42 52 2 Claims, 2 Drawmg Flgures I l .TOY PISTOLS Until recentlytoy pistols have commonly used paper caps" either in strip. or single form.
  • Each of the cups contains a small quantity of explosive at the closed end and fits over a firing pin in the cylinder of the pistol.
  • Such caps as they are known are more expensive than paper caps and a higher degree of performance'isexpected'to justify the additional expense.
  • the cylinder of a toy pistol intended for use with caps of the type just described includes a cylinder comprising an inner part which is fixed in an axial direction and is provided with a ring of firing pins for the reception of a ring of caps and an outer shell which surrounds the inner part and is capable of sliding in a longitudinal direction.
  • a cylinder comprising an inner part which is fixed in an axial direction and is provided with a ring of firing pins for the reception of a ring of caps and an outer shell which surrounds the inner part and is capable of sliding in a longitudinal direction.
  • the rear edge of the shell In its forward position the rear edge of the shell is overlapped by a part of a ring of caps in position on the firng pins and when slid rearwardly the movement frees the ring from the firing pins.
  • the rearward movement of the complete ring removes the individual caps from their firingpins andthus allows the ring as a whole to be removed without difficulty.
  • the outer shell is spring loaded into its forward position and consequently has to be slid rear- "wardly against the action of the spring. Consequently assoon as a ring has been removed, the outer shell automatically returns to its forward, operative position ready for the insertion of a fresh ring of caps and further operation of the pistol.
  • FIG. 1 is a longitudinal cross section through the cylinder of a toy pistol, thesurrounding structure of the pistol being shown in outline;
  • FIG. 2 is an end viewof the cylinder with a ring of caps inposition and shown partly broken away.
  • the part 4 is of generally T-shaped cross-section, the main limb 7 of the T fitting around the axle 3 and the cross member 8 being formed with a ring of firing pins 12 for the reception of a ring-type cap 13 seen in section in FIG. 1 and partly broken away in FIG. 2.
  • the cap 13 comprises a ring of plastic cups 14, two of which are seen in FIG. I, and each of which contains a small quantity of gun powder 15 which is consequently located between the end of the cup and the end of the respective firing pin 12 so as to be exploded 7 when struck by the hammer of the pistol (not shown).
  • the cross member 8 is also formed with a ring of teeth 16 for cooperation with an indexing finger on the hammer mechanism, by means of which the cylinder is rotated step by step each time the pistol is fired.
  • This type of indexing mechanism is well known in itself.
  • the part 4 is-surrounded by an outer shell 20 which is capable of sliding on the central limb 7 of the part 4, but is prevented from rotating by a series of flats shown as 21 on the outer surface of the limb 7 and the inner surface of a central portion 22 of the shell 20.
  • the shell 20 is loaded by means of a coiled spring 24 into its forward position where further forward movement is prevented by the washer 5.
  • the two parts 4 and 20 rotate together and to external appearances constitute a normal construction of cylinder.
  • the shell 20 is, however, capable of rearward sliding movement against the action of the spring 24 into the position shown in dotted lines as 20'.
  • the rear end of the shell 20 is overlapped by a series of lips 26 formed on the cap 13 as best seen in FIG. 2.
  • a toy pistol including a cylinder, said cylinder comprising an inner part, means for fixing inner part in an axial direction, said inner part having a ring of firing pins for the reception of a cap ring, and said cylinder also comprising an outer shell which surrounds said inner part and means mounting said shell for sliding movement in a longitudinal direction between a forward position in which its rear edge is level with the rear edge of said ring of firing pins and a rearward position, whereby movement into said rearward position frees a cap ring from said firing pins.
