Blow gun having target mounted on its barrel

Claim 2

A pressure actuated blow gun toy for expelling a projectile therefrom against a target comprising an elongated tubular barrel having first and second ends and a continuous passage therein, one of the end portions being curved with respect to the other end, said tubular barrel being formed of a first tubular member having first and second ends, and a second tubular member having first and second ends, means for connecting a first end of said second member to one end of said first member in such a manner that said members are movable relative to each other and a continuous passage is formed between said tubular members, the second end of said second tubular member forming the curved end of the barrel, and target means affixed to said barrel proximate the other end thereof against which the projectile is caused to collide when expelled from the tubular barrel by air pressure exerted against said projectile by blowing against said other end, said curved end being curved in such a manner that it directs said projectile toward said target means.

Claim 3

The combination of claim 1 wherein the second end portion of said second member is curved approximately 180* relative to the second member.

Claim 4

The combination of claim 1 wherein said target means is attached to said first tubular member in such a manner that it is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of said first tubular member and it is in the flight path of a projectile expelled from the curved end of the barrel, the surface of said target means being divided into separate areas of varying point values.

Claim 5

The combination of claim 1 wherein the means for connecTing the tubular members together includes a universal connector which permits said tubular members to be moved to a limited extent in substantially all directions relative to each other.

Claim 6

The combination of claim 1 wherein said first tubular member is provided with an opening therein for inserting a projectile into the passage, and closure means are provided for opening and closing said opening.

Claim 7

The combination of claim 5 wherein means are provided within said other end of the barrel for preventing said projectile from being removed from said end.

Claim 8

The combination of claim 1 wherein said first and second tubular members when movably connected together, are inseparable from each other.

Claim 9

The combination of claim 1 where at least one opening is provided in the barrel proximate the curved end.

Claim 10

The combination of claim 8 wherein at least one projection is provided proximate said opening, the longitudinal axis of said projection being perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the barrel.

Claim 11

The combination of claim 1 wherein the projectile has a first end having a flattened head formed thereon, and a second end having a concave member formed thereon, said concave member forming a suction cup adapted to stick to a surface against which it may collide.

Claim 12

The combination of claim 14 wherein said projectile includes an enlarged portion positioned proximate its second end.

Claim 13

The combination of claim 10 wherein said projectile is formed of a soft, flexible, lightweight material.

Claim 14

A blow gun toy for expelling a projectile therefrom against a target comprising an elongated tubular barrel having first and second ends and a continuous passage therein, one of the end portions being curved with respect to the other end, said tubular barrel being comprised of a first tubular member having first and second ends, and a second tubular member having first and second ends, means for connecting a first end of said second member to one end of said first member in such a manner that said members are movable relative to each other and a continuous passage is formed between said tubular members, said second tubular member being provided with handle means affixed thereto, said handle means including a chamber and an opening thereinto, for storing projectiles, and target means affixed to said barrel proximate said other end thereof against which the projectile is caused to collide when expelled from the tubular barrel, said curved end being curved in such a manner that it directs said projectile toward said target means.

Claim 15

A blow gun toy for expelling a projectile therefrom against a target comprising an elongated tubular barrel having first and second ends and a continuous passage therein, one of the end portions being curved with respect to the other end, said tubular barrel being comprised of a first tubular member having first and second ends, and a second tubular member having first and second ends, means for connecting a first end of said second member to one end of said first member in such a manner that said members are movable relative to each other and a continuous passage is formed between said tubular members, said second tubular member being provided with handle means affixed thereto, said handle means including a chamber and an opening thereinto, for storing projectiles, and target means affixed to said barrel proximate said other end thereof against which the projectile is caused to collide when expelled from the tubular barrel, said curved end being curved in such a manner that it directs said projectile toward said target means.

Claim 16

A blow gun toy for expelling a projectile therefrom against a target comprising an elongated tubular barrel having first and second ends and a continuous passage therein, one of the end portions being curved with respect to the other end, said tubular barrel being comprised of a first tubular member having first and second ends, and a second tubular member having first and second ends, means for connecting a first end of said second member to one end of said first member in such a manner that said members are movable relative to each other and a continuous passage is formed between said tubular members, target means affixed to said barrel proximate the other end thereof against which the projectile is caused to collide when expelled from the tubular barrel, said curved end being curved in such a manner that it directs said projectile toward said target means, and passage means in said first tubular member proximate the first end for permitting air to escape from the continuous passage when the target means is not attached to said first tubular member.

Claim 17

A blow gun toy for expelling a projectile therefrom against a target comprising an elongated tubular barrel having first and second ends and a continuous passage therein, one of the end portions being curved with respect to the other end, said tubular barrel being comprised of a first tubular member having first and second ends, and a second tubular member having first and second ends, means for connecting a first end of said second member to one end of said first member in such a manner that said members are movable relative to each other and a continuous passage is formed between said tubular members, target means affixed to said barrel proximate the other end thereof against which the projectile is caused to collide when expelled from the tubular barrel, said curved end being curved in such a manner that it directs said projectile toward said target means, and passage means in said first tubular member proximate the first end for permitting air to escape from the continuous passage when the target means is not attached to said first tubular member.

Claim 18

The combination of claim 14 wherein means are provided for permanently affixing said target to said first tubular member.
