UNITED STATES JOHN TITSWORTH QUINN, OF STOCKTON, CALIFORNIA.

TOY.

Application filed March 2, 1925.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN TITSWORTH QUINN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Stockton, in the county of San Joaquin and State of California, have invented a new and useful Toy, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to toys and more particularly to toys of the blow-gun type. The object of the invention is to provide a cheap toy combining a blow-gun and candy container which'will be attractive to children and from which the candy may be removed and used to be projected through the blow-gun.

lVith the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the com- 00 bination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed may be made within the scope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit of the invention.

In the accompanying draw1ngsz- Figure 1 represents a longitudinal section of a toy constructed in accordance with this invention Fig. 2 is a top plan view thereof; and

Fig. 3 is a transverse section taken on the line 33 of Fig. 1;

In the embodiment illustrated the toy constituting this invention comprises a gun, the stock 1 of which is preferably made of wood and which has a magazine barrel 2 formed of glass and provided at its outer end with a removable closure 3 here shown in the form of a screw cap. This magazine 2 is inserted in the wooden stock of the gun and may be secured therein by gluing or in any other manner.

Located above the magazine 2 is a blow- Serial No. 12,642.

gun 4 also composed of glass and made in the form of a tube of a length greater than the magazine so that the mouth piece 5 thereof will project beyond the rear portion of the gun barrel in convenient position to be blown by the user.

The front end 6 is also shown extended to beyond the front end of the magazine so that candy or other articles blown there through will not be interfered with.

This barrel or gun 4 which is constructed of a glass tube is shown mounted in a bore in the stock of the gun similar to barrel 2.

The magazine 2 may be used as a container for candy pills or disks of a size to be blown through the blow gun 4 so that the gun owner will be equipped with ammunition ready for use, but of course the gun may be used for blowing anything there through.

I claim r 1. A toy of the class described comprising a gun stock having a glass magazine barrel with a removable cap-like closure at its outer end and a glass blow gun located above said magazine and projecting at its ends beyond the ends of the gun.

2. A toy of the class described comprising a gun stock having a glass magazine barrel with a removable cap-like closure at its outer end and a glass blow gun located above said magazine and projecting at its 75 ends beyond the ends of the gun, said stock 7 having bores to receive said barrel and blow gun.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I havehereto aflixed my signa- 80 ture in the presence of two witnesses.

IVitnesses H. L. MEYER, J. M. EONSELYER.
