Definitions

  • This invention relates to projectiles for toy fire-arms similar to .the so-called alarm pistols, in which the projectile is fired by means of a spring operated and pointed percussion rod.
  • the known projectiles of this kind of toy fire-arm go ofi' with a bang only.
  • the projectile according to the present invention is fitted with means for producing the efiect of fire-balls or like fireworks, whereby however the projectile is adapted for use in connection with toy fire-arms only and does not possess any hard parts, which may cause damage.
  • a cartridge is charged according to the present invention with an illuminationor fireworks composition and, on firing, the charge of the cartridge-case is mechanically hurled out of the mouth of the toy fire-arm.
  • the cartridge preferably comprises a case provided with a holed base and in which a priming-plate is arranged in front of the hole in the base, said priming-plate being connected with the fireworks-charge proper by means of a slowly combustible priming composition.
  • the mouth of the barrel a of a toy gun is enlarged toward the outside to form a shoulder 6 on which rests the cartridge arranged in the mouth of the barrel.
  • the cartridge comprises an outer cardboard case (i, which is provided with a central hole f in its base and carries the charge.
  • the charge consists of a, primingplate 9 resting on the floor of the case, a cup shaped priming composition h adjacent there to and an illumination or sparking composition 2' arranged therein.
  • the former preferably consists of a mixture of salt-petre, carbon and a binding agent, for instancedextrin, gum-arabic or the like, while the latter consists of a common fireworks composition and, as shown in the drawing, may be rammed into the case Z or pasted into the same in the shape of fire-balls.
  • V cessively ignited after ignition
  • the cartridge is mechanically hurled out of the gun by means of a percussion rod in, which is guided in the barrel of the fire-arm and loaded by a spring 0, as well as provided with a plate m at its free end, a point n being arranged on said plate.
  • the operation is as follows :As shown in the drawing, the spring 0 is placed in tension either manually by pulling backward the percussion rod 70 or automatically by a separate device ofknown construction and a cartridge is placed into the mouth of the barreluntil it rests on the shoulder 6.
  • the latter suddenly jumps forward in view of the action of the spring 0 and its point it passes through the hole 7 in the base of the cartridge-case d and strikes the priming-plate 9, thereby igniting the latter.
  • the cartridge is hurled out of the barrel because the'plat-e m of the percussion-rod 7c. strikes the floor of the cartridgecase (Z.
  • the priming composition 72 is ignited during the hurling operation and now ignites the illuminationor fireworks composition 71 and hurls the same out of the cartridge-case.
  • the invention is of course not limited to the construction as shown, because also other constructions are possible particularly with respect to the construction of thecartridge and the composition of the individual cartridge-charges.
  • a priming plate between the member and closed end of the case and normally closing said opening, a pyrotechnical member engaged with the priming member, the primlng' member and pyrotechnical member being sucof the priming composition.
  • a projectile comprising a case having a closed end, said closed end having an opening therein, a cup-shaped member fitted in the case and formed from a priming composition,
  • a priming plate between the closed end of the case and said member, a member of pyrotechnical composition fitted in thecup-shaped member, means'passab'le through said opening to ignite the priming composition and successively the cup-shaped member and pyrotechnic member when the projectile is inflight.
  • the pyrotechnical member is hurled f om the 0 base
