ABSTRACT:
A timing mechanism for controlling actuation of a switch in a toy gun in order to produce a burst of light of a predetermined duration includes a housing and a switch actuating member movably mounted in the housing for movement between first and second positions. The switch actuating member is located to engage the switch during a portion of its movement and it is biased to its first position by a spring or the like. An impeller arrangement is provided for driving the switch control member from its first towards its second position against the bias of the spring; and an inertia element, such as a flywheel, operatively engaged with the switch control member, is driven by the switch control member as it moves from its first position towards its second position. The inertia element aids in driving the switch control member to its second position and resists return movement of the switch control member, under the influence of the spring, from its second to its first position, thereby to control the duration of time during which the control member closes the switch and thus control the duration of the burst of light produced by the toy gun.
