Application med March 31, 191e. vseria-1 No. 87,892.
Y To all whom t may concern Be it known ythat I, NELs G. NELSON, a
vcitizen ofthe United States,.residing in the city of Rockford, county-of l/Vinnebago, and
State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Toy Shooters, of which the following is a specification.
`My invention relates to toy pistols and the like and its object is to provide a toy pistol or shooter which cannot very'well employ dangerous missiles or ammunition, the chief objection of parents and neighbors to the ordinary toy pistols. j
Another object is to provide a form of construction that is so simple and inexpensive that it may be sold for the few pennies comprising the average small boys capital. With these objects in View my invention consists in the novel construction of toy, and its combination and arrangement of parts, all as hereinafter described in detail, illustrated in the accompanying drawing, and more particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
In the drawing Figure 1 is a side elevation of a shooter embodying my invention held in the hand and cocked. Fig. 2 is a similar view, but of the shooter alone and with the hammer and ball released. Fig. 3 is substantially a section taken on line 3-3 of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a section taken substantiallyv on line 4 4 of Fig. 2. Fig. 5 iS a perspective view of the hammer.
In the several views, 2 is the ligure of the lingers of a hand gripping the body -3- of the toy. 'Ihis body is a flat plate of wood or metal the outlines of which are made to provide the grip portion, an approximately semicircular jaw opening 4, and a lug 5 to engage one end of a trigger tension spring 6 the other end of which is engaged by a lug 7 on a trigger S that is pivoted at 9 to one side of the body or plate 3. The ammunition or missile is a rubber, fiber, or other comparatively soft ball 10 which may, if desired, be attached to asuitably lengthened string 11 the opposite end of which is tied to an eye or openingl)l in the grip portion of the plate 3. The jaw 4 takes the place of the usual barrel and is adapted to hold only an elastic ball,such as a rubber ball which may be pressed into engagement between the two jaws-13 and 14, formed by the semi circular Opening 4. Hence it cannot be loaded with slugs, stones,I or other of the usually Specicaton of Letters Patent.
Patented July 18, 1916.
hard lmissiles which cause broken windows and endanger the eyesightl of playmates. The hammer .is double', or bifurcated, straddles the plate 3 and is aV flat plate of metal 4bent upon itself and formed :to provide a pair ofv pivot disks y15 Vand" 16' 'of approximately vcircular form one of which has a cut away portion in its periphery producing a triggervnotch or stop orfsh'oulder 19 to be engaged by a tapered end 20 of the trigger 8.
" The upper part of the hammer has also a pair of forwardly bulging striking portions 21 and 22 the sides of which afford conven-V ient grip-holds between the users thumb and foreinger when cooking the hammer. The latter is mounted on a pivot 23 the ends of which engage holes 17 and 18 in the parts 15 and 16 and a similar opening 24 through the plate 3. The hammer is tensioned by a spring 25 located in a slot 26 through the plate 3 and having one end attached to a hole or eye 27 in the body 3 and the other end attached to a cross-pin 28 having its ends anchored in holes 29 and 30 through the parts 15 and 16. The bend -31- in the hammer may be projected above the jaw 13 to any desirable extent as a linger lug or hold, but since the cheek-line portions 21 and 22 afford, perhaps, the better grip the bend 31 will preferably be made close to the upper edge of the body portion 3. The striking edges of the parts 21 and 22 may be broadened by suitable configuration of the said parts if a greater surface area is desired to prevent their cutting the ball if the metal plate forming the hammer is thin.
The above-described construction is very light and thin, so the device may be conveniently carried as in a vest pocket, and it takes up no appreciable room wherever placed or packed. The solid rubber ball is well adapted for target practice and has the advantage, irrespective of a string attachtrigger is pulled by reason of the fact that this act tends to curve the fingers outwardly and away from the spring.
Having thus described my invention, I
kclaim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent.-
l. A toy shooter consisting of a plate in the form of a pistol having a recess therein containing a hammer tensioning spring, a hammer, means for holding an elastic ball by rictional engagement on said plate, and a trigger for controlling said hammer.
2. A toy shooter consisting of a flat body forming a hand grip approximately in the form of a pistol grip and having a recess which AprovidesliXed jaws adapted to hold therebetween a ball pressed thereinto and held by frictional engagement, and a spring etlurned hammer arranged to strike said 3. In a toy shooter, a disk of metal having the outlines of apistol grip with a lrecess therein which forms a pair of jaws and takes the place of the usual pistol barrel, a hammer arranged to strike a ball held in said jaws, means for actuating the hammer, and a ball adapted to be held in said jaws.
4. In a toy pistol, a pistol grip having a recess therein forming a pair of jaws, a hammer formed of a sheet of metal straddling said grip and arranged to strike a ball held in said jaws, and means for actuating said hammer.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto signed my name.
NELS Gr. NELSON.
