Description
- 5H-Mind gitarist sind tim Letters Patent No. 97,7l9,-dated December 7, 1.869.
TOY .HARPooN-GUN.
The Schedule referred lto in these Letters Patent and. making part of the same.
To all whom" mag/'concern Be it known that I, EBENEZER SPERRY, of St.- Lonis, in the county of St. Louis, and State of Missouri, have made certain new and useful Improvea ments in Toy and Harpoon-Guns; and I dohereby Vdeclare that the following is a full and clear descrip tion thereof, reference being had tothe accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked there- This invention relates to certaiu'improvements in toy and harpoon-.gnns, patented by `me on the 9th day of July, A. D. 1867.
The new improvements relate-.-
First, to a slotted arrangement of the, gun-barrel,
whereby the line holding the arrow or shot is allowedl `to traverse the'barrel with the projectile;
Secondly, to a hollow arrow;
Thirdly, to a slottedhollow plunger; and "Fourtbly, to a spring-clamp, for holding the line from kinking as the missile `leaves the gun.'
To enable those skilled in the artto make and use my improved gun, I will proceed to describe its con'- struction and operation` Figure l is a side elevationof one Vside of the gun.
Figure 2 is a bottom plan of the same.
Figure 34 is a longitudinal'sectional,elevation of the un. l 'g The barrel A is similar to that described in paient No. 66,531, except that `it'has-a slot, a, in itsr bottom side, extending from the breech tothe muzzle. Throughthis slot, the cord which holds the missile to the gun traverses, at each discharge of the piece, the cord being necessary for harpoon-pnrposes, and also desirable when used asa toy-gun.
`In my former patent, elastic springs b `only were used to draw the plunger forward, but vin the present Vinvention I combine the bows B, placed vertically by the sides of the barrel, with the said springs b.4 The number of the bows B may be increasedindefinitely.
f As is clearly shown in g. 3, the arrow C is hollow atit's base, so as topermit the cord c to be .coiled "therein whenthe piece is loaded, while a notch in the back end of the arrow, at c2, permitsthe said cord to pass downward through the slot a, and at the same time allows the base end of the arrow t'o yrest against the plunger or follower.
rlhe plunger or follower D has its front end hollowed, for the reception of the cord e, and in combination with this hollowing, a notch, d, in its bottom side, permits the cord toA pass downward through the slot a. v
The cord c is to beprincipally coiled in the cavity of the plunger, and is to pay out on the discharge ofthe piece, so as to retain and bring. back the missile, asin harpoon-practice.
In order to keep the line or-cord c in such a position as to hold the arrow or other missile back. to the plunger, when the muzzle of the pieeeis'depressed in aiming, it is passed through a spring-clamp, e or e', secured tothe bottom of the barrel-or stock, as shown best -in g. 2.
The contraction ofthe front end of the oriliceof the barrel, at a', is not only intended to stop -the forward motion of 'the plunger, but also is intended to hold the arrow up in such a position as' to cause itsaxis to coincide with the axis of the gun-barrel.
Having described my invention,
What I claim, isl. The barrel A, when provided with a slot, a, in its bottom side, for the passage of the cord c, as herein described and set forth. p 2. The arrow C, when made hollow, for the recep tion of the cord e, and otherwise provided withra notch, at e2, for the passage of the cord to the slot a, as herein described. y
3. The hollow plunger or follower I), when lslotted at d, for the passage of the cord c'to the slot a, as set forth and described.
4. The spring-clamp e or e', in combination with the barrel A, as described and shown.
l EBENEZER SPERRY.
YVitnesses M. RANDOLPH, WILLIAM W. HERTHEL.
