Abstract:
1. A toy projectile launcher for discharging a toy projectile comprising: a housing; an air compression mechanism disposed on the housing and comprising a compression member disposed on the housing and a hollow outer cylinder having the compression member slidably disposed therein, wherein the outer cylinder is moveable relative the housing between an uncocked position and a cocked position such that movement of the outer cylinder from the cocked position to the uncocked position compresses air in the interior of the outer cylinder to discharge the toy projectile; a slide member slidably disposed on the housing and operatively connected to the air compression mechanism such that movement of the slide member from a first position to a second position causes the outer cylinder to move from the uncocked position to the cocked position; a retention member configured to demountably attach to the slide member, wherein the slide member may move from the first position to the second position when the retention member is demountably attached thereto; and an attachment mechanism connected to the retention member and configured to engage an article of clothing of a user of the toy projectile launcher.
