Abstract:
1. A paper bullet firing pistol toy comprising: a housing having a grip part; a barrel part fixed to a front end of the housing; an operating part which is disposed at a front lower portion of the housing in such a manner as to move in a longitudinal direction relative to the housing; a trigger part which is connected rotatably to the vicinity of the grip part; a paper feeding mechanism which has rollers which are disposed in the vicinity of a front end of the housing for holding a strip of paper on an axis center of the barrel part and a roller rotating means for rotating the rollers; a paper cutting mechanism which has a crown-shaped cutting blade disposed in such a manner as to move in the longitudinal direction relative to the paper held on the axis center of the barrel part by the rollers so as to come into contact with and go away from the paper and a pressing member for pressing the cutting blade; a forcible air discharging mechanism which has a circular cylindrical cylinder fixed on the axis center of the barrel part, a piston disposed in such a manner as to move in the longitudinal direction within the cylinder and an elastic member for biasing the piston to the front; a paper drawing mechanism which has a distal end portion of a circular cylindrical tube which extends towards the front from the cylinder and a bore portion of the barrel part into which the distal end portion is fitted; and a locking mechanism for locking the piston against an elastic force of the elastic member, wherein the paper is moved in a direction which is perpendicular relative to the axis center of the barrel part by the paper feeding mechanism by moving the operating part to the rear so that the paper is disposed on the axis center of the barrel part, the paper disposed on the axis center of the barrel part is cut by the paper cutting mechanism, a projectile is produced by bending inwards an outer circumferential portion of the paper so cut by the paper drawing mechanism, and the piston of the forcible air discharging mechanism is locked by the locking mechanism against the elastic force of the elastic member, wherein the locked state of the piston is released by rotating the trigger part so that the piston is caused to be inserted into the cylinder by virtue of the elastic force of the elastic member so as to spray air residing within the cylinder against the projectile to thereby shoot the projectile to the front from a distal end of the barrel part, and wherein the respective mechanisms are restored by moving the operating part to the front.
