Abstract
A toy gun includes a body, a pinion located in the body and a turning member mounted to rotate about the pinion. A number of barrels each rotate upon the turning member at radial positions. Each barrel has a gear meshing with the pinion. Each barrel has a circular array of projectile-receiving tubes. An indexing mechanism causes the turning member to rotate about the axis whereupon the meshing interaction of the gears with the pinion causes orbital movement of the barrels about the axis as they rotate with respect to the turning member. As a result, each projectile-receiving tube is delivered to the firing position.
Claims7
A toy gun, comprising:
- a body including a projectile-firing position;
- a pinion located within the body and having a longitudinal axis;
- a turning member mounted to rotate about said longitudinal axis;
- a plurality of barrels each rotatably mounted to the turning member at a position radially outward of said longitudinal axis, each barrel having a gear meshing with the pinion, each barrel having a plurality of projectile-receiving tubes;
- and
- an indexing mechanism causing the turning member to rotate about said longitudinal axis whereupon said meshing interaction of the gears and the pinion results in orbital movement of the barrels about said longitudinal axis as the barrels rotate with respect to the turning member such that each projectile-receiving tube is delivered to said projectile-firing position.
