United States Patent 3,433,210 BLOW GUN AND MISSILE TOY HAVING FOLDING WINGS Ples E. Schnitz, 2114 Arizona St., El Paso, Tex. 79930 Filed June 28, 1966. Ser. No. 561,192 US. Cl. 12412 Claims Int. Cl. F41b 1/00, 1/02; A63h 27/00 ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A toy blow gun and missile in which the gun is provided with a barrier to prevent insertion into the mouth too deeply and the missile is provided with wings retracted into a slot during the firing of the missile and extended by spring element when the missile is in free flight.
This invention relates to a blow gun and missile toy of the type wherein the missile is placed in the blow gun and ejected therefrom by the application of air pressure at one end of the gun.
In brief term, the instant invention comprises a blow gun including an elongate tubular section for receiving and guiding a missile during the early portion of its flight, a handle positioned intermediate the tubular section providing a convenient hand grip for supporting the section in an aimed condition, a plate secured to the section closely adjacent the air pressure receiving end preventing the insertion of the section too far into the mouth of the user, and a missile slidably mounted in the tubular section for movement therethrough upon the creation of a high pressure area adjacent the pressure receiving end.
A primary object of the instant invention is to provide a toy which may be used to eject a flying missile therefrom in an aimed condition.
Another object of the instant invention is to provide a blow gun of the character described including a handle intermediate the tubular section facilitating the aiming of the missile ejected from the blow gun.
Another object of the instant invention is to provide a blow gun of the character described including sighting means at one end thereof for aiming the ejected missile at a target.
A further object of the instant invention is to provide a blow gun including a mouthpiece at one end thereof comprising a plate secured to the tubular section preventing the insertion of the section too far into the mouth of the user.
A still further object of the instant invention is to provide a blow gun and missile toy in which the missile includes a pair of outwardly biased Wings giving the missile a floating action during flight.
Still another object of the instant invention is to provide a missile for use with a blow gun which is aerodynamically stable and which simulates the exterior configuration of a ballistics missile.
Other objects and advantages of the instant invention reside in the combinations of elements, arrangements of parts, and features of construction and operation, all as will be more fully pointed out hereinafter and disclosed in the accompanying drawing wherein there is shown a preferred embodiment of this inventive concept.
In the drawing:
FIGURE 1 is a side elevational view of the combined blow gun and missile toy made in accordance with the principles of the instant invention, certain parts being broken away to expose the missile residing in the gun;
FIGURE 2 is an enlarged transverse cross-sectional view of the blow gun and missile toy of FIGURE 1 taken Patented Mar. 18, 1969 substantially alongline 22 thereof as viewed in the direction indicated by the arrows;
FIGURE 3 is an enlarged longitudinal cross-sectional view of the device of FIGURE 1 taken substantially along line 33 thereof as viewed in the direction indicated by the arrows illustrating the interior configuration of the missile including the collapsed wings;
FIGURE 4 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of the missile of the instant invention illustrating the wings in the expanded position giving the missile a floating action during flight; and
FIGURE 5 is a rear elevational view of the missile of FIGURE 4 as may be seen from along line 5-5 thereof as viewed in the direction indicated by the arrows.
Referring now to the drawing in detail, wherein like reference characters designate like elements throughout the several views thereof, the blow gun and missile toy of the instant invention is illustrated generally -at 10 having as its major components a blow gun shown generally at 12 and a missile designated generally at 14. It will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art thatmissile 14 is received interiorly ofblow gun 12 and is ejected therefrom by the users placing the mouth about one end ofgun 12 and blowing thereon to movemissile 14 throughblow gun 12 and eject it into a flight path.
Ahandle 22 is affixed to the exterior ofsection 16 and extends toward mouthpiece end 18 providing a convenient hand grip for supportingblow gun 12 in an aimed condition. It should be evident thathandle 22 is spaced from mouthpiece 18 a distance slightly less than the arm length of small children so that the device of the instant invention may be used by persons of all ages. A sighting means 24 is aflixed on the exterior oftubular section 16 atdischarge end 20 and comprises a planar blade similar in configuration to a rifle sight.Sighting means 24 is preferably positioned opposed fromhandle 22 to facilitate the aiming ofblow gun 12.
A plate 26 is positioned closely adjacent the terminus of mouthpiece end .18 and preferably about one inch therefrom to prevent an individual, particularly a small child, from inserting the end ofblow gun 12 too far into the mouth to cause injury to the user. If the individual were to fall onblow gun 12 while mouthpiece end is received by the mouth, plate 26 will prevent the end oftubular section 16 from being forced toward the throat of the user. Because of the large surface area between plate 26 and the lips and surrounding area of the user, little or no injury will result from such an accident.
The rear end ofcylindrical segment 28 forms a pair ofslots faces 38, 40 for purposes more fully explained hereinafter. As shown in FIGURE 5,slots missile 14. Awing 42, 44 is mounted for respective movement throughslots
Mounting means 46 includes astationary pin 48 extending acrossrear segment 28 perpendicular to each ofwings 42, 44 and is received by apertures formed in the ends ofwings 42, 44. It should be apparent that the openings inwings 42, 44 are sufficiently large to allow pivotal movement ofwings 42, 44 about the axis ofpin 48. A spring shown generally at 50 acts to biaswings 42, 44 into the expanded position shown in FIGURE 4 and includes afirst leg 52 extending through anaperture 54 in wing 42, an intermediate coiledsection 56 surroundingpin 48 and a second leg 58 extending through an aperture 60 inwing 44. It is therefore apparent thatspring 50 is connected to each ofwings 42, 44 and biases them into the position shown in FIGURE 4.
In the operation oftoy 10,missile 14 is inserted intoblow gun 12 as by pushing it through the mouthpiece end 18. The insertion ofmissile 14 through mouthpiece 18 will act to movewings 42, 44 into the collapsed position shown in FIGURE 3 because of contact ofwings 42, 44 withtubular section 16. The user then places the mouth about mouthpiece 18 and blows to propel missile .14 throughblow gun 12 into a flight path exterior thereof. Whenmissile 14 exits fromtubular section 16,spring 50biases wings 42, 44 apart and into engagement withfaces 38, 40 ofslots wings 42, 44 are stationary during flight and give missile 14 a floating action.
Where a group of people are firingmissiles 14 into the air, another person may utilize a similar blow gun and missile withoutwings 42, 44 to attempt the destruction of the winged missiles in flight, thereby assimilating a ballistics missile attack and the use of interceptor mis siles. It should be noted in this regard thatmissile 14 is shaped in the configuration of a ballistics missile lending reality to the game. The provision of sighting means 24 andhandle 22 further enhances the possibility of an interceptor contacting the incoming missiles because of the greater facility of aiming the discharged device.
It should be noted thatblow gun 12 andmissile 14 may be made of any suitable material, such as metal or the like, but is preferably made of plastic thereby lessening the cost and weight oftoy 10.
It is now seen that there is herein provided an improved blow gun and missile toy which accomplishes all of the objects and advantages of the instant invention and other, including many advantages of great practical utility and commercial importance.
Since many embodiments may be made of the instant inventive concept, and since many modifications may be made of the embodiments hereinbefore shown and described, it is to be understood that the foregoing is to be interpreted merely as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
