Description
Nrrnn STATES PATENT OFFICE.
REUBEN SHALER, OF MADISON, CONNECTICUT.
ToY PlsToL.
To all whom, it may concern:
Be it known that I, REUBEN SHALER, of Madison, in the county of Middlesex and State of Connecticut, have invented a new and Improved Toy Pistol; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings and the letters of reference marked thereon, and which said .drawings constitute part of this specification, and represent, in-
Figure 1, a left-hand side view; Fig. 2, a right-hand side view; Fig. 3, a longitudinal central section; Figs. et and 5, the keyfor winding the spring; and in Fig. 6, a view of a dart which the pistol is designed to use.
Same letters and characters indicate like parts.
My invention relates to a pistol designed to throw a dart for the purpose of practice or pleasure; and I style it a toy pistol,77 as it is'harmless in its nature, or little danger can arise from its use.
lt consists in a hammer or striker attached to a barrel of any common construction, and arranged in combination with a coil-spring, so that when the'said coil-spring is wound up the hammer will be turned out or away from vthe barrel and held by a trigger or catch, so
that when the said hammer is released it will ily around into the barrel, and, striking with great force a dart placed in the said barrel, will throw the dart from the barrel with so much force that a great degree of accuracy may be attained in the use of my pistol.
To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my improved toy pistol, I will proceed to describe its construction and operation.
A is the stock; B, the barrel. I make these of metal, either in one piece or divide through the center longitudinally, and then rivet the two parts together.
C-is the hammer, hung upon a pivot, a, rest' ing in ears c, cast upon the barrel. The said pivot is made fast in or a part of the hammer, and to the said'pivotI attach one end of a at steel spring, d, coiled around the said pivot,
its other end secured to the barrel at I). (See Fig. 2.) The bore of thebarrel is open upon the under side, (see Fig. 3,) so as to allow the hammer to move out and in. On the body of the hammer I form a notch, e, (one or more.) One end of the pivot a I square, (see Fig. 1,) to which to apply a key to wind up the spring d. Back of the hammer I set a trigger, E, hung to the barrel or stock at i, so that one end may rest against the body of the hammer, as shown.
In Figs. 4 and 5 I show a key for winding up the spring d. This may be of any convenient form made to fit the square end of the said pivot. Apply the key to the square end of the pivot ,gturn the spring to coil itup. The hammer,being fast to the pivot,will be turned with it from the position in black to the position in red, Fig. 3. Set the trigger into the notch e prepared for it in the body of the hammenas also shown in Fig. 3, and my pistol is ready for the dart or missile. I prefer the dart I illustrate in Fig. 6, which consists of a piece of wood, P, with a metal point, n. To the rear end I attach three pieces of ribbon (more or less) for the purpose of balancing the dart. I draw the ribbons forward, as directed in red, and insert the dart into the barrel, the metal end outward. When thus inserted, pull the trigger to release the hammer, which flies around and strikes the dart with a force depending entirely upon the strength of the spring d. This throws the dart from the barrel. The hammer strikes the barrel for a stop. (See Fig. 3.) Again apply ,the key, turn the hammer as before, replace the dart, and the pistol is ready for a second shot, and so on.
Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new and useful, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
The combination and arrangement described of the barrel B, hammer C, spring d, and trigger E, in the manner and for the purpose specied. f
REUBEN SHALER.
