HENRY REASON, OF BRIGHTON, COUNTY OF SUSSEX, ENGLAND.

MAGAZINE TOY GUN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 395,798, dated January 8, 18189.

Application filed June 4, 1888. Serial No. 276,026. (No model.)

To all whom it may ounce/'71.:

lie it known that I, HENRY REASON, a subject of the Qi'ieen of Great Britain, residing at llirighton, e unty of Sussex, England, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Magazine Toy Guns and Pistols, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to that class of toy guns and pistols used to discharge peas or pellets of various material (hereinafter referred to as shots") by aid of spring appliance.

To enable my invention to be properly un derstood, I will proceed to describe the same with aid of the accompanying drawingswhich show the invention applied to a pistol.

Figure 1 is a side elevation; Figs. 2 and 3, sectional views of same at the instant of being discharged and discharged, respectively. Fig. 4 is a detached view of the opposite side of parts embodied in Figs. 2 and A is the barrel connected to or formed in one with a suitable stock, and having a magazine, 13, attached or formed on top at the breech end. The magazine may be open at the end 0 for filling in the shots, such opening being closed when required by a cover, 0, turning on a pin; or the filling-hole may be on the top, when it would not require any cover to close it. In the bottom is a hole, D, communicating with barrel A for the shots to pass into the barrel. The bottom E of the magazine is preferred to be made with a double incline to cause the shots to roll toward the middle when the barrel is held horizontally. The hole D is covered by an underneath spiral spring, F, to prevent shots enteringthe barrel. (See Fig. 3.) G is a pivoted lever for projecting the shots, operated by a spring, N. .The

top of this lever is formed with a prong, H,

standing sufficientlyfar away from top to admit of a shot lying between. (See Fig. 2.) This prong prevents more than one shot entering the barrel at a time to be discharged, and also the falling out of the shot should the barrel. belowered. The ends of lever and prong work througl'i a slot, A, in the bottom of the barrel A. The lever G is actuated by a trigger, I, by means of a pivoted sear, J, and side projection, L, on G. (See Fig. 4;.) Continuing to press the trigger I toward the stock after bringing the lever G into the poing in the trigger the sear J presses back the lever G, the top of which compresses the spring F, which allows ashot to fall into the barrel between the prong H and top of the lever G, as shown in Fig. 2, when it is discharged by continuing to press the trigger, as has been described. The sear J has its free end J twined round the lever G to assist the guiding of the sear J.

Having now fully described the nature of my said invention, I declare that what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is-' The combination of the barrel A, connected to a suitable stock, magazine B, placed upon top of the barrel at the breech end and having a feeding-inlet for the shots, hole D, communicating with barrel A, spring F, springoperated pivoted lever G, the top being provided with a prong, H, slot A in bottom of barrel, trigger I, sear J, step K, projection L on side of G, and trigger-spring 0, all sub stantially as and for the purposes stated.

HENRY REASON.
