JOSEPH HENRI GAGNON, OF MONTREAL, QUEBEC, CANADA.

TOY.

Application filed July 25, 1927. Serial No. 208,110.

The present invention relates to improvements in a toy, which consists of a pea holder mounted on a spiral spring, the ob ject being to throw a pea or the like at a dis- 6 tance.

Another object is to provide a toy of this character, which will be simple and essentially cheap of manufacture.

The invention is illustrated in the accom- 10 panying drawings, in which 1- Figure 1 is a plan View of the toy, and, Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional view. Referring to the drawings, 1 is a spiral spring having secured at one end the member or handle 2 of the shape of a pear and at its other end a. member 3 of similar shape, provided with a recess or cavity 4, in which may be inserted a pea, a marble or the like. The member 3 should be firmly held in one hand 2 after having inserted the pea or marble, and the handle 2 held in the other hand and the spring extended. Then the member or handle 2 is suddenly released, with the result that the spring 1 will instantly contract, and project at a distance the pea carried in the recess 4.

A card or a disk may also be similarly projected, by inserting same in the slot 5 provided in the member 3.

Within the spiral spring 1 may be provided two pieces or members 6 and 7, of metal or otherwise, the object being to explode a powder cap in between said members, when the spring 1 is extended.

Vhat I claim as my invention is In a device of the character described in which the potential energy of a tensioned springis utilized to project a missile, a normally tightly contracted spiral spring, a member secured at one end thereof and adapted to be grasped for extending the spring, and a second member spaced from said first mentioned member and secured to the other end of the spring in abutting relation thereto, said second member being provided with a recess for receiving a missile and adapted to be immovably held during the flexing and contracting movements of said spring.
