Abstract: A toy comprises a resiliently deformable member, a first contactor defining a first contacting surface, and a second contactor defining a second contacting surface. At least one of the first and second contactors defines a concave surface. The resiliently deformable member supports the first and second contactors for movement along a main axis between an engaged configuration in which the first contacting surface is contact with the second contacting surface and a disengaged configuration in which the first contacting surface is disengaged from the second contacting surface. The resiliently deformable member biases the first and second contactors in opposite directions along the main axis. Application of force to displace the first and second contactors along the main axis creates a sound when the first and second contactors are disengaged from each other.

Abstract: A simulated firearm for deploying an elastic loop member herein defined by a barrel portion, a stock or handle portion, body or mid section, and a cocking apparatus. The Operator manually works the cocking apparatus which automatically resets a hammer or sear and a trigger located within the body. At the end of stroke of the cocking apparatus, reset of the firearm is indicated by a soft but crisp reverberation of sound similar to a "click!" as the trigger and hammer interlock, and the trigger makes contact with a stop-pin. An elastic loop member is then stretched between the frontal nose of the barrel, and the hammer located at the rear. By manual operation of the trigger, the elastic loop member is automatically deployed. Simultaneous with the deployment of the elastic loop member, a high pitched reverberation of sound similar to a "snap!" is heard as the hammer or sear makes hard and abrupt contact with the stop-pin.

Abstract: The present invention is a toy gun which has a housing with a main section and a handle, a barrel, a trigger, a swivel cocking mechanism, a battery holder, electrical connections, a printed circuit board, a sound amplifier/speaker, and activation mechanism with springs, and sufficient circuitry to generate realistic cocking sounds and separate realistic firing sounds of a fired gun. The trigger has a finger portion below the pivot point and an engaging portion above the pivot point and is biased to a first position, e.g. via a spring, and, when the trigger is pulled, moves to a second position. The swivel cocking mechanism, attached to the housing, has a closed position and an open position. It is connected to an activation mechanism which has two positions corresponding thereto.
