Abstract:
A toy projectile launcher for launching projectiles, e.g, toy foam darts, from a hopper. One or more agitating members inside the hopper to enable the projectiles to drop into a firing chamber under the hopper. A hopper cover has a collapsible ceiling with nested members and a ceiling plate to maintain the projectiles toward the bottom of the hopper. A catch coupled to the ceiling plate engages an opening in a hopper wall to prevent the ceiling from collapsing when the hopper cover is closed. Where there are multiple vertically spaced-apart openings in the hopper wall, the catch may disengage from a first opening, and then engage a lower, second opening in the hopper wall, as the number of projectiles in the hopper drops and the ceiling plate descends in the hopper. A rotating track and a push rod advance projectiles from the firing chamber to flywheels for launch.

Claim (Index 2):
The toy projectile launcher of  claim 1 , wherein the catch is further configured to disengage from the first opening and engage with a second opening of the plurality of openings located at a second position lower in the hopper than the first position when the hopper is loaded with a second amount of the one or more projectiles following a launch of one or more of the one or more projectiles from the hopper, wherein the second amount of the one or more projectiles is less than the first amount is loaded in the hopper.
