| Abstract: |
A toy pistol capable of ejecting a continuous stream of water while simultaneously generating a sound and a flashing light. A d-c motor positioned within the toy pistol operates a pump to pump water from a water storage cartridge in order to cause water to be ejected continuously from the toy pistol. The d.c. motor also causes an eccentric cam to rotate, such rotation causing repeated stricking of a sound generating bar, which creates a sound imitating a gun. Operation of the motor additionally causes repeated opening and closing of an electrical circuit containing a light bulb positioned in the barrel of the gun, thereby creating a flashing light effect.

I claim:
1. A toy pistol comprised of a pistol body having a front shell and a back shell with the pistol body containing a water charging opening and an air-exhaust opening at a top portion thereof, and a cavity extending into a bottom portion thereof beneath the water-charging opening and the air-exhaust opening;
- a water-supply cartridge for insertion into said cavity in the bottom portion of the pistol body;
- a trigger hingedly attached to the pistol body and extending from the bottom portion thereof;
- a protector surrounding said trigger;
- a battery compartment positioned within a handle portion of the pistol body, said battery compartment suitable for insertion therewithin of batteries;
- a spring switch having a first end and a second, free end, with said first end being electrically coupled to the battery compartment, and said second, free end extending to a position above the trigger;
- a first electrical terminal positioned above the second, free end of the spring switch;
- a motor having a rotating shaft, a first contact, and a second contact, with said motor being positioned within the pistol body to allow the first contact to be electrically coupled to the first electrical terminal, and the second contact to be electrically coupled to the battery compartment;
- a pinion gear positioned on an end portion of the rotating shaft of the motor;
- a reduction gear case having a reduction gear assembly positioned therewithin, said reduction gear assembly comprised of gear wheels, wherein a left-most gear wheel engages with said pinion gear and a gear shaft of a right-most gear wheel extends beyond the reduction gear case;
- a cam positioned on the gear shaft of the right-most gear wheel;
- a turning wheel positioned on the gear shaft of the right-most gear wheel;
- a link rotatably attached at a first end thereof to the turning wheel at a eccentric position on the turning wheel;
- a pump means having a first and second opening, said pump means further including a restoring spring and a piston having a piston rod positioned to extend longitudinally within the piston body, with said piston stem being rotatably attached to a second end of the link, and with said piston abutting the restoring spring;
- a water-ejection tube connected to said first opening of the pump means, said water-ejection tube extending to the exterior of the pistol body to create a gun point thereby;
- a water-suction tube connected to the second opening of the pump means, said water-ejection tube extending to the water-supply cartridge;
- a sound-generating spring plate having a first end thereof fixedly attached to the reduction gear case, and having a second, free end positioned above the cam said second free end of the sound-generating spring plate being bent to form an L-shaped strike part;
- a light-generating means including a light bulb positioned in a barrel portion of the pistol body, said light bulb being electrically coupled to a second terminal positioned on the reduction gear case, and being electrically coupled to an anode portion of the battery compartment; and
- a shade positioned about the light bulb.
