A toy cap gun, which comprises:
- (a) a housing having the external appearance of a gun which includes a barrel and a handle;
- (b) a cap roll compartment located within said housing;
- (c) a battery operated cap advancing-repeat firing system located in said housing, which includes:
- (i) a drive motor;
- (ii) a gear system connected at one end to said drive motor and at the other end to a drive shaft;
- (iii) a drive shaft being drivable from and movably connected to said gear system at one end and connected to a cam at its opposite end;
- (iv) a trifunctional cam connected to said drive shaft and being drivable thereby and being movably connected to a spring-loaded hammer arm said cam being a stepfunction drop off cam operable to repeatedly open said hammer arm and releasing said hammer arm in a step-function drop off fashion such that spring action will drive said hammer arm against a strike plate to repeatedly fire caps, being operable to open and close a cap roll lock by being biased towards a spring-loaded cap feeder roller, and having cap advance means as a integral part thereof;
- (v) a spring-loaded hammer arm pivotably attached to said housing at one end, movably connected to said cam and openable thereby and directed to a strike plate at its opposite end;
- (vi) a main spring attached to said hammer arm and having adequate tension upon opening and release to drive said hammer arm against a strike plate to fire caps;
- (vii) a stationary strike plate attached to said housing and strikably located at one end of said hammer arm;
- and,
- (viii) a cap roll lock and cap roll advance means which includes a cap feeder slide, a lock brace and a spring-loaded cap feeder roller which is movably spring biased against the lock brace and is movable away from the lock brace by cam action;
- (d) a battery chamber located within said housing;
- (e) electrical circuitry connected to said drive motor and to said battery chamber and including an open circuit/closed circuit switch;
- (f) a trigger movably connected to said housing and further connected to said open circuit/ closed circuit switch;
- such that when a cap roll is loaded in said compartment and fed to said cap advance means, batteries are placed within said battery chamber and the trigger is pulled, the electrical circuitry is completed within the battery, the aforesaid motor is operated, the motor drives said gears and driveshaft, said cam is rotated and cycled so as to repeatedly open and release said hammer arm so as to repeatedly strike said strike plate to fire caps and said cap roll lock and cap roll advance means is driven to repeatedly lock and unlock and repeatedly advance a cap roll to effect said repeated cap firing.
