US12553683 - Rubber band gun, method of use, and method of assembly

A toy gun having a pair of sides are joined together using a number of pins inserted through pin holes passing through the pair of sides. A trigger and a slide are sandwiched between the pair of sides and are secured therein. A pivot pin allows the trigger to be pulled rearwardly such that it presses against the slide, moving it reward as well. When this occurs, the slide moves out from between the two sides, pushing the elastic bands away from static notches located on the rear end of the sides. This causes the top-most elastic band to fire away from the gun, and the remaining elastic bands to be reseated upwardly into the next adjacent respective static notch. The elastic bands pull the trigger back into its original position, allowing for semi-automatic firing.

toygunrubberband

The patent describes a toy rubber band gun that features a unique assembly allowing for semi-automatic firing by utilizing a trigger mechanism and a sliding action to release elastic bands. The design includes a gun frame with multiple components, including a trigger cavity and static notches, enabling the sequential firing of rubber bands.

Claim 1

1 . A toy gun comprising: a gun frame comprising a right handle half, a left handle half, a right slide, a left slide, and a center handle having a front notch, a trigger cavity and a slide relief configured to receive a portion of at least the right slide; each of said right slide and left slide configured to be pinned and thereby fixedly joined together via at least one slide pin, whereby said right and left slides are configured to be slidably engaged with said center handle; a front pin further joining said right slide and left slide-while simultaneously being slidably engaged with a front slot within said center handle; a rear pin further joining said right slide and left slide while simultaneously being slidably engaged with a rear slot within said center handle, and said rear pin connected with a trigger post connected to a trigger, said trigger post and said trigger being disposed within said trigger cavity and said trigger pivotally pinned to at least said right handle half via a trigger pin passing through a trigger pin receiver; said center handle comprising a plurality of static rear notches; each of said right and left slides comprising a respective plurality of slide notches; said trigger configured to be depressed rearwardly from a first position to a second position, thereby causing said trigger to pivot about said trigger pin and said right and left slides to be moved rearwardly via said rear pin and said trigger post. a gun frame comprising a right handle half, a left handle half, a right slide, a left slide, and a center handle having a front notch, a trigger cavity and a slide relief configured to receive a portion of at least the right slide; each of said right slide and left slide configured to be pinned and thereby fixedly joined together via at least one slide pin, whereby said right and left slides are configured to be slidably engaged with said center handle; a front pin further joining said right slide and left slide-while simultaneously being slidably engaged with a front slot within said center handle; a rear pin further joining said right slide and left slide while simultaneously being slidably engaged with a rear slot within said center handle, and said rear pin connected with a trigger post connected to a trigger, said trigger post and said trigger being disposed within said trigger cavity and said trigger pivotally pinned to at least said right handle half via a trigger pin passing through a trigger pin receiver; said center handle comprising a plurality of static rear notches; each of said right and left slides comprising a respective plurality of slide notches; said trigger configured to be depressed rearwardly from a first position to a second position, thereby causing said trigger to pivot about said trigger pin and said right and left slides to be moved rearwardly via said rear pin and said trigger post.
