U DSTATS PATENT OFFICKU
CARL B. OSBORN, OF SAN MARCOS, TEXAS.
TOY REPEATING GUN.Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Jan. 23, 1917.
Application filed May 6, 1916. Serial No. 95,803.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CARL B. OSBORN, a
citizen of the United States, and a resident
of San Marcos, in the county of Hays and
State of Texas, have invented an Improve-
ment in Toy Repeating Guns, of which the
following is a specification.
This invention has relation to toy guns,
being designed to provide an article of this
a character which may be cocked and fired by
the manipulation of a single member and
which embodies a magazine to receive a
number of projectiles which automatically
feed by gravitative action into proper posi-
tion to be projected by the striker or dis-
charging member.
The invention provides an action of sim-
ple structure and easy of manipulation, the
same comprising an operating member and
a catch, the operating member embodying a
trigger, a striker and a main spring, the
trigger serving the two-fold purpose of
cocking the gun and discharging the same.
Forward movement of the trigger cocks the
gun whereas rearward movement of the
trigger places the main spring under ten-
sion and effects release of the striker or dis-
charging member which is thrown forward
by the action of the main spring to project
the missile.
The invention has for its object simplicity
of construction, utilization of a minimum
number of parts, and ease of manipulation,
the gun being set and discharged by one
complete operation of a single member, for-
ward movement of the trigger setting the
action and rearward movement of the trig-
ger tensioning the discharging spring and
releasing the discharging member after the
same has been subjected to the predeter-
mined tension.
The invention consists of the novel fea-
tures, details of construction, and combina-
tions of parts which are hereinafter de-
, scribed in detail, with reference to the ac-
companying drawings which illustrate the
preferred embodiment of the invention, al-
though it is to be understood that within the
scope of the invention as claimed various
to changes.in the form, proportion and minor
details of construction may be resorted to in
adapting the invention to meet varying re-
quirements and conditions without depart-
ing from the nature thereof.
55 In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspec-tive view of a gun constructed in accordance
with the invention and embodying the es-
sential features thereof. Fig. 2 is an en-
larged longitudinal section of the frame
and parts attached thereto, the dotted lines ao
showing the position of the operating mem-
ber when cocked. Fig. 3 is a view similar
to Fig. 2 showing the striker or discharging
member about to be released and the trigger
about at the limit of its rearward move- 65
ment, the dotted lines indicating the forward
movement of the striker after being released
and in the act of engaging a projectile.
Fig. 4 is a transverse section on the line
4-4 of Fig. 2 looking toward the breech as 70
indicated by the arrow. Fig. 5 is a cross
section on the line 5-5 of Fig. 1 looking to-
ward the muzzle as designated by the ar-
row. Fig. 6 is a detail perspective view of
one-half of the frame. Fig. 7 is a detail 75
perspective view of the operating member,
the parts being separated and disposed in
cooperative position. Fig. 8 is a top plan
view of the frame, the operating member
being removed. Fig. 9 is a detail perspec- 80
tive view of the magazine. Fig. 10 is a de-
tail perspective view of one of the thimbles
for securing the discharging tube to the
barrel. Fig. 11 is a detail perspective view
of the lock embodying the frame and action. 85
Fig. 12 is a transverse section of a modi-
fied form of frame illustrating the several
parts of integral formation. Fig. 13 is a
sectional detail on the line 13-13 of Fig.
11. Fig. 14 is a detail view of the blank 90
from which the frame is formed when the
parts are of integral formation.
Corresponding and like parts are referred
to in the following description and indi-
cated in all the views of the drawings by the 95
same reference characters.
The gun comprises the usual barrel, lock,
and grip or stock portions. The lock con-
sists of a frame and action and has the bar-
rel and the stock or grip attached thereto in 100
any manner.
In the present instance the barrel portion
of the gun comprises members 1 and 2. The
member 1 corresponds with the usual barrel
of a small fire arm and in the present in- 105
stance is a dummy, that is it consists of a
dead element because it is not bored or uti-
lized for giving direction to the projectile
when the gun is discharged. The member
2 consists of a small tube and the projec- 1101,213,683.
