Abstract
A system and a method for launching glow-in-the-dark projectiles from a projectile launcher wherein the toy comprises projectiles exposed to light prior to being launched and a firing mechanism wherein a portion of the firing mechanism is positioned with the projectile prior to being fired from the launcher. In one embodiment, the firing mechanism comprises a light for exposing the projectile to radiation prior to being fired from the gun. The present invention is well suited for use as a toy projectile launcher wherein the toy may be used in dark or low-light areas.
Claims19
A toy comprising:
- a projectile which glows in the dark;
- and
- a projectile launcher comprising a firing mechanism, the firing mechanism comprising:
- a barrel;
- a valve system;
- a firing pin;
- and
- a firing spring, wherein a portion of the firing mechanism is positioned within the projectile before being fired, wherein the firing pin is the portion of the firing mechanism positioned within the projectile.
A toy comprising:
- a projectile which glows in the dark;
- and
- a projectile launcher comprising:
- a body;
- a trigger mechanism;
- a firing mechanism, wherein a portion of the firing mechanism is positioned within the projectile before being fired;
- and
- a pumping system comprising a pump arm and a pump body, whereby air is manually pumped into the pump body.
A toy comprising:
- a projectile which glows in the dark;
- and
- a projectile launcher comprising:
- a body;
- a trigger mechanism;
- a firing mechanism, wherein a portion of the firing mechanism is positioned within the projectile before being fired;
- and
- a pumping system comprising a pump body and a motor, whereby air is automatically pumped into the pump body when the motor is actuated.
A toy comprising:
- a projectile which glows in the dark;
- and
- a projectile launcher comprising a firing mechanism, the firing mechanism comprising:
- a barrel;
- a valve system;
- a firing pin;
- and
- a firing spring, wherein a portion of the firing mechanism is positioned within the projectile before being fired, wherein the firing pin comprises a generally central longitudinal axis and wherein the projectile comprises a generally central longitudinal axis and wherein the firing pin axis and the projectile axis align generally coaxially for the firing pin to enter into the projectile prior to firing.
A toy comprising:
- a projectile launcher comprising a body, a trigger mechanism, and a firing mechanism comprising a light source located within the firing mechanism, and a pumping system comprising a pump arm and a pump body;
- and
- a hollow projectile adapted to glow in the dark wherein the inner portion of the hollow projectile is exposed to said light source before being launched from said projectile launcher.
