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 16):
A toy projectile launcher, comprising:\n a housing defining an interior recess; and a hopper coupled to the interior recess of the housing, the hopper configured to house one or more projectiles and to provide the one or more projectiles to the interior recess of the housing to be launched, wherein the hopper comprises: a first wall on a first side of the hopper and a second wall on a second side of the hopper opposite the first wall; at least two agitating members, including: a first agitating member associated with the first wall; and a second agitating member associated with the second wall; wherein the first and second agitating members are configured to cause the one or more projectiles to align within the hopper.
