Abstract
Abstract An improved toy machine gun is disclosed. The toy gun has a trigger associated with a microswitch. The microswitch engages a rotatable wheel through a reduction gear. A link assembly together with the rotatable wheel provides a reciprocating motion and create a kickback. In addition, the link assembly is arranged to actuate another microswitch which controls an audio circuit board and a speaker for generating a sound mimicking a gun shot.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
158 words
An improved toy machine gun comprising a trigger, a link assembly and rotating means; said link assembly having a loop member and a plurality of steel tubes, said loop member having an arm connected to one end thereof and a plastic piece connected to another end thereof; each of said steel tubes having one end secured to said plastic piece by screw means, a portion passing through a sleeve and a liner, and another end secured to a head portion by screw means; said rotating means including a motor coupled to an output rotatable wheel having a protruding pole thereon, said loop member of said link assembly being arranged to encircle said pole, said trigger including means capable of activating said motor, so that said protruding pole rotates about said output rotatable wheel causing said link assembly together with said head portion to move in a reciprocating motion by action of said protruding pole on said loop member.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
158 words
An improved toy machine gun comprising a trigger, a link assembly and rotating means; said link assembly having a loop member and a plurality of steel tubes, said loop member having an arm connected to one end thereof and a plastic piece connected to another end thereof; each of said steel tubes having one end secured to said plastic piece by screw means, a portion passing through a sleeve and a liner, and another end secured to a head portion by screw means; said rotating means including a motor coupled to an output rotatable wheel having a protruding pole thereon, said loop member of said link assembly being arranged to encircle said pole, said trigger including means capable of activating said motor, so that said protruding pole rotates about said output rotatable wheel causing said link assembly together with said head portion to move in a reciprocating motion by action of said protruding pole on said loop member.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
91 words
An improved toy machine gun as claimed in claim 1, including an electrical circuit having a microswitch for opening and closing said electrical circuit, a battery, an audio circuit board capable of generating a sound mimicking a shot of a machine gun, and a speaker; said microswitch being arranged to contact said arm of said link assembly, so that said reciprocating motion of said link assembly causes said microswitch to periodically complete said electrical circuit causing said audio circuit board to generate said sound and pass said sound through said speaker.
