International ClassF41B 011/24AbstractA toy rocket launcher includes a rotatable, air pressurized assembly that allows for a plurality of rockets to be launched in sequence. In particular, the assembly uses a ratchet included in a base supporting member, where the ratchet is rotated by a piston included in a launch tube connected between the base supporting member and a source of pressurized air (i.e., a manually-operated bellows). The rockets are disposed on separate launch tubes, the launch tubes open at their terminations and disposed such that each tube will receive, in sequence, the pressurized air supplied by the bellows. A guard ring structure may be included with the launcher to prevent a launch should an individual get too close and disturb the set up.Field of SearchHaving common supply to plural projector barrelsProvided by movement of user-actuated, projector-mounted pressure member To create surge of pressure By plunger moving within cylinder With control for discharge of fluid pressure For continual projection of successive projectiles (e.g., for "rapid fire", etc.) | |
