INDEXING PNEUMATIC LAUNCHER FOR MULTIPLE TOY ROCKET PROJECTILES

摘要

A toy launching assembly (10) for pneumatically launching toy projectiles (20). The toy launching assembly (10) has a base structure (12) that contains an open port (50). A tube carousel (14) rotates atop the base structure (12). The tube carousel (14) holds a plurality of launching tubes (16). A pulse of air is generated by rapidly compressing an air bladder (18). The pulse of air travels through an air hose (19) to the base structure (12). Within the base structure (12), the pulse of air directed to the open port (50) under the tube carousel (14). An indexing mechanism (52) is used to rotates the tube carousel (14) and sequentially positions one of the launching tubes (16) over the open port (50) each time the air bladder (18) is sufficiently compressed.
