ABSTRACT:
A toy gun for shooting rubber bands in rapid succession includes a rotating cylinder onto which the rubber bands initially are loaded one-by-one. Rotation of the cylinder to effectuate initial loading of the rubber bands stretches an elastic cord which later rotates the cylinder in the opposite direction as rubber bands are fired in succession. A plurality of pivotal hooks disposed on the rear portion of the rotating cylinder each engage the rear end of a stretched rubber band, the forward end of which is retained by a corresponding hook disposed on the front portion of the cylinder. An actuator/stop element responsive to a trigger operates to depress or pivot the hook and rubber band aligned with the actuator/stop element, shooting that rubber band. The depressed or pivoted hook is retained so that when the trigger is released, the actuator/stop element moves away from a rotation limiting stop connected to the depressed or pivoted hook. The pre-tensioned elastic cord rotates the cylinder to align the next rubber band with the actuator/stop element. A rotation limiting stop connected to the next hook abuts the actuator/stop element, at which time the trigger is to be pulled again to fire the next rubber band.
