Abstract: A repeating rubber band pistol is shown which includes a frame having a barrel and a handle. A handle recess houses a rotary magazine. A plurality of bands can be stretched between a barrel notch and engagement points on the rotary magazine. A trigger element is mounted within the frame recess and allows controlled movement of the rotary magazine to selectively release rubber bands in single fire fashion with successive trigger pulls.

Abstract: A toy firearm shaped like a sidearm--in particular a dagger--incorporating a compressed-air system for firing light-weight projectiles, that can be projected in accordance with the orientation of the blade, and wherein the compressed-air firing system is incorporated in the handle of the sidearm, and can be operated with the aid of a lateral control attachment originating at the movable part comprising both the cylinder and a perforated attachment for propelling the projectile and acting as an air vent.

Abstract: The cylinder, with an axial attachment and axially perforated, is fixed in the firearm casing; a sliding element forms a trigger and housing for the magazine for the projectiles, the said element being subjected to the action of a return spring in the direction opposite to that of the manual action on the trigger; a thrust connection is provided between the said piston and the said element in order to actuate, through the travel of the trigger when pressed, the loading of the spring and, at the end of the said travel, the release of the piston.

Abstract: In its "off" position, the miniature firearm is a scaled-down version of a standard Colt-type revolver. Its length is 4 to 5 cm, its caliber is 2 mm. Its cylinder (5) can receive six rimfire cartridges (7) on a stem (8). Its firing mechanism comprises the sear (18) and the hammer (19). The sear (18), functioning as a trigger, is made integral with a nose (28) which simulates the trigger, a portion (29) which simulates the trigger guard of the standard firearm, a nose (37) which locks the cylinder (5) into the firing position, and a nose (36) which lifts the hammer (19) by means of a retractable pawl. It carries a pawl (32) in front of the cylinder (5). In the position shown, the nose (36) separates from the retractable pawl of the hammer (19) so that a spring housed in the butt (3) and acting simultaneously on the sear (18) and on the hammer (19) will propel the end (26) of the hammer, which takes the place of the firing pin, onto the stem (8) and causes the bullet (9) to be fired.

Abstract: A toy cap gun having a chamber which amplifies sound and illuminates the flash from detonated caps. The chamber is attached to the barrel and gun in one embodiment in a manner permitting its complete removal from the gun. A spindle means enshrouded by the chamber is used for holding and rotating the caps to be struck by the gun's hammer and the position of the spindle means inside the chamber produces a dramatic sound and light effect when the caps are detonated.

Abstract: A method and device are disclosed for propelling an object from a device that comprises a loading chamber, a loading mechanism, and a firing chamber portion with an open end.

Abstract: A toy gun having a barrel and handle supporting a pivoted trigger and spring-pressed hammer engageable with an elongated slide having driving teeth engageable with pinion drive means for a noise-producing unit in said barrel which includes a vibratable spring that produces a sound resembling a ricocheting bullet when said slide is moved forwardly by said hammer after it is moved rearward by said trigger and released to permit the spring to move the hammer forwardly sharply.

Abstract: A starter gun adapted for selectively firing blank cartridges and providing effective tear gas dissemination capability. The starter gun may comprise a pistol or revolver, and includes structure in the firing chamber and barrel thereof preventing use with conventional projectile ammunition.
