1,533,908 PATENT OFFICE.
HENRY J. WOLTER, 0F ST. CLOUD, MINNESOTA.
'roY GUN.
Appncation mea my 3,
To all 'whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HENRY J. VOLTER, a citizen of the United States, residing atSt. Cloud, in the county of Stearns and State o fmMinnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improve-ments in Toy Guns; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact descriptionof the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to toy guns in connection with which elastic bands are adapted -to be used as projectiles, and has for one of its objects the provision of a gun of this character which shall embody comparatively few parts of simple construction adapted to be readily assembled and secured in assembled relation.
A further object of the invention is' the provision of a to gun of the character statedwherein the harrel may be firmly and rigidly secured to the stock by a single screw or similar fastening element, wherein the projectile will not when-under tension exert any pressure upon the fastening element, nd -wherein no pressure will be exerted upon the fastening element when the gun is violently lowered into contact with the ground or when it is used as a. rest with the barrel or stock in contact with the round. Y ,j
With the above and other objects in view, the invention consists in the construction, combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described and claimed, and illustrated Y in the accompanying drawing, wherein:
Figure 1 is a view in side elevation of a toy gun constructed in accordance with my invention, l
Figure 2 is a somewhat similar view with tip of a stock and the rear portion of the barrel in vertical section,
ligure 3 is a top plan view of the gun, an
Figure 4 is a detail sectional view taken on the plane indicated by the line 4-4 of Figure 2.
As shown in the drawing, the stock and barrel of the gun are made separate and suitably connected together, and these parts are preferably made of wood. The stock comprises a butt 1 a handle 2 and a tip 3. In its upper side, the tip 3 is provided with a longitudinally extending groove 4 for the 1924. Serial No. 724,088.
reception of the rear portion of the barrel 5. The groove 4 terminates short of the rear end of the tip 3 to provide a shoulder 6 against which the rear end of the barrel 5 abuts. As the barrel 5 rests in the groove 4 and contacts with the shoulder 6, the stock and barrel may be secured together against any relative turning movement and against any relative longitudinal movement should the gun be lowered violently into contact with the ground or should it be used as a rest with the barrel or stock in contact with the ground, through the medium of a single screw 7 or other suitable fastening element which passes through the tip 3 and enters the barrel, as shown in Figures 2 and 4. As the walls of the groove 4 hold the barrel 5 against any lateral movement with respect to the stock, and as the shoulder 6-holds the barrel against any longitudinal movement with respect to the stock 6 under the conditions stated, together with the fact that the trigger 8 is pivotally connected to the barrel, no strain can be exerted upon the fastening element 7 which would have a tendency to separate the barrel and stock. j
The trigger 8 is pivoted at its upper end by a pin 9 in a slot 10 formed in the rear portion of the barrel 5, and it vextends through`an opening 11 in the tip 3 to a point below the lower side of said part. The trioger 8 is provided with a forwardly exten ing arm 12 and at its forward end said arm is provided with an upwardly extending lug 13. The trigger 8, arm 12 and lug 13 are preferably formed integrally from any suitable metal. The projectile 14 is in the form of an elastic band, and it may be made from the inner tube of an automobile tire which has been discarded as being no longer lit for use as part'V of an automobile tire. The front end of the barrel 5is provided with an arcuate notch 15 to'i'receive the front end of the projectile 14, the rear end of the projectile being applied to the lug 13 of the trigger 8.
When the projectile 14 is in the position stated and shown in Figure 1, it is under tension with the result that when it is released from the lug 13 it will be rojected from the gun at high velocity. o release the projectile 14 from thel lug 13, the trigger 8 is drawn rearwardly. Thls movement of the trigger 8l draws thet lug `13 into the slot 10, and as the projectile 14 cannot follow the lug 1 3 into the slot such movement of the lug will disengage it from the projectile. To prevent the projectile from being drawn into the slot 1l during the inward movement of the lug 13, the arm 12 and lug 13 hare a transverse dimension approximatelj7 equal to that of the slot. The front and rear walls of the opening` 11 limit the movement of the trigger S in both a forward and rearward direction. As the rear end of the barrel 5 projects above the tip 3, the gun may be kept loaded without danger ot accidental i discharge by passing the projectile litt .about the ends of the barrel as suggested in Figure n.
What is claimed is A gun Comprising a stoel; provided with a longitudinally extending groove terminating at its rear end in a shoulder, a barrel provided at its front end with an arcuate notch and having its rear portion seated in said groove with its rear end in Contact with said shoulder, a fastening element passing through the stoel: and engaging the barrel, said stock being provided with an opening and said barrel with a slot, and a trigger pivoted to the barrel within said slot and extending through said opening. said trigger being provided with a forwardly extendingV arm positioned in said slot and terminating at its front end in a lug extending through 'said slot above the barrel.
In testimony whereof I attix my signature 1n presence of two witnesses.
HENRY J. WoL'rER.
