Abstract:
A toy gun comprising a pump mechanism, a distribution mechanism, a sequencing mechanism, an operating mechanism, and a plurality of non-movable discharge ports adapted for projection of matter from said gun;said discharge ports being fixed in position on said gun at locations that are remote with respect to said pump mechanism;said pump mechanism adapted to pressurize matter;said distribution mechanism adapted to receive pressurized matter and to selectively apply said matter to said remotely located discharge ports for discharge of said matter therefrom;said sequencing mechanism controlling said distribution mechanism for selection of said discharge ports in a predetermined sequence;said operating mechanism adapted to actuate said sequencing mechanism and to precipitate the flow of pressurized matter to said distribution mechanism;said sequencing and distribution mechanisms including an indexed element movably carried for rotation about an axis and a drive element adapted to incrementally rotate said indexed element;said indexed element adapted to conduct a flow of pressurized matter, and including an outlet for said matter, said outlet being radially offset from said axis;said drive element cooperating with said operating mechanism such that actuation of said operating mechanism causes said drive element to incrementally rotate said indexed element.
