Abstract: A toy gun having a pair of sides are joined together using a number of pins inserted through pin holes passing through the pair of sides. A trigger and a slide are sandwiched between the pair of sides and are secured therein. A pivot pin allows the trigger to be pulled rearwardly such that it presses against the slide, moving it reward as well. When this occurs, the slide moves out from between the two sides, pushing the elastic bands away from static notches located on the rear end of the sides. This causes the top-most elastic band to fire away from the gun, and the remaining elastic bands to be reseated upwardly into the next adjacent respective static notch. The elastic bands pull the trigger back into its original position, allowing for semi-automatic firing.

Abstract: A firing linkage mechanism includes a linkage assembly, a trigger assembly, and a firing assembly. The linkage assembly has a moving end and a firing end.

The firing assembly is disposed on the firing end and has a touching portion and a firing portion extended from the touching portion. The firing end of the linkage assembly is disposed with an acting portion cooperating with the touching portion of the firing assembly. The acting portion is driven to move the touching portion by the axial movement of the linkage assembly to make the firing portion implement a firing action.

Abstract: A handheld pull tension archery release includes a handle containing a finger opening having an axis arranged normal to a plane containing the handle, a ring sear assembly arranged in the handle, and a bail connected with the handle for rotation about an axis parallel to the opening axis.

Abstract: An automatically-repeating, rapid-firing rubber band gun with an ammunition powered operating system. The gun includes a mechanism for retaining, releasing and projecting a plurality of stretched rubber bands, with the release of the rubber bands occurring in such a manner as to allow the harnessing of a portion of the elastic potential energy present in the rubber bands to perform work upon the mechanism. Work performed upon the mechanism results in the mechanism moving relative to a static structure within the gun, and this relative movement affects a temporal sequencing of the release of the rubber bands. A trigger system provides for control of rubber band discharge by way of alternately inhibiting or allowing rubber band release. A structural frame supports the operating system and provides for the gun to be manually operated.

A lever device is included in the handle of the gun for positioning the high tension bands on the magazine in a condition of maximum elongation.

Abstract: There is provided a gun for shooting a plurality of elastic bands in a repeating fashion. The gun includes a frame and a grip. A magazine which holds a plurality of stretched elastic bands is rotatably mounted on an elongated spindle which extends from the frame. The magazine includes a plurality of upwardly-extending lands which are proximal to the frame and a plurality of corresponding outwardly-extending posts which are distal to the frame. Each land and its corresponding post receive an elastic band in its stretched condition. A rotatable string containing a spool is connected to the frame. Portions of the string extending from the spool are received between each of the lands and the elastic bands so that the elastic bands are released by the upward movement of the string as the string is retrieved onto the spool.

Abstract: A toy gun for repeatedly firing stretched rubber bands from projections upon removable rotating hollow cylinders. All mechanisms are themselves powered by rubber bands. While unattached to the gun, cylinders are wound up by separating a front locking pin and turning front and body in opposite directions, thus winding the rubber band affixed inside. Inserting the cylinder onto the gun frame forces the cylinder to contact a projection which again separates the front locking pin from the cylinder body. The cylinder has on its exterior raised lengthwise projections, called "slats". Each slat but one has near the rearward end of the gun a notch. A cylinder is loaded by stretching a rubber band over each notched slat. Aligned with slat notches is a holding pin affixed to the gun. The holding pin contact either a rubber band or the unnotched slat, preventing unwanted cylinder rotation. Pulling the trigger engages a `slip hammer` that pushes the rearward part of the rubber band above the slat.

Abstract: A repeating rubber projectile firing toy gun is formed by a hollow handle and frame portion integrally connected with a gun barrel portion. A sprocket wheel magazine journalled by opposing side walls of the frame section projects above the gun frame for receiving one end portion of a rubber band, having its other end portion engaged over a notch at the forward end of the gun barrel. A trigger mechanism biases a spring urged pawl out of engagement with the sprocket wheel to permit angular rotation thereof and release at least one of the projectiles while a second pawl on the trigger mechanism interrupts the sprocket wheel rotation after the release of only one rubber band projectile or a succession of rubber band projectiles by repeated trigger pulls.

Abstract: The invention relates to a toy gun for projecting elastic bands. The gun is provided with a handle portion, a barrel portion and a trigger assembly.

Abstract: A multiple firing elastic shooter toy including a handle, a rod which may take the form of a barrel and having a notched end to receive lengths of elastic members and a receiver section interconnecting the handle and the rod. The receiver section is of generally U-shaped cross-section and has a web at one side of the shooter and top and bottom legs. Spaced apart slots are formed in the web and partially into the legs of the receiver to accept other lengths of the elastic members. A snubber post projects from the shooter toy at the side opposite the web and forwardly of the slots in the direction of the rod and serves as a safety against inadvertant release of stretched elastic members.

Abstract: A toy gun for shooting rubber bands in rapid succession includes a rotating cylinder onto which the rubber bands initially are loaded one-by-one. Rotation of the cylinder to effectuate initial loading of the rubber bands stretches an elastic cord which later rotates the cylinder in the opposite direction as rubber bands are fired in succession. A plurality of pivotal hooks disposed on the rear portion of the rotating cylinder each engage the rear end of a stretched rubber band, the forward end of which is retained by a corresponding hook disposed on the front portion of the cylinder. An actuator/stop element responsive to a trigger operates to depress or pivot the hook and rubber band aligned with the actuator/stop element, shooting that rubber band. The depressed or pivoted hook is retained so that when the trigger is released, the actuator/stop element moves away from a rotation limiting stop connected to the depressed or pivoted hook.

Abstract: A toy gun which is capable of firing a plurality of elasticized bands, either singularly or in rapid succession, and which is operative so that each one of a plurality of elasticized bands is stretched under the tension of its own elasticity along a projectile path longitudinal with the gun between a point of anchorage at the forward end of the gun and a rotatable escapement wheel at the rearward end of the gun so that, when the escapement wheel is permitted to rotate under the influence of a rotational bias provided by the force of the previously loaded elasticized bands upon the release of a trigger mechanism, the elasticized bands are consecutively released from engagement with the escapement wheel to be propelled along the projectile path and forwardly of the gun. The wheel includes a plurality of spaced apart radially extending sections that have successively increasing radii over substantially the entire outer-most periphery of all of the sections.
