Abstract:

A toy rubber band gun having a gun body defining an imitation barrel, a stock at the back of the barrel, and a handle depending from the stock. A trigger element in the form of a resilient wire has a forward end pivotally mounted on a pin in the stock, a trigger portion extending out through a slot on the bottom of the stock, an elongate portion extending from the trigger portion upwardly through the handle, and a loop portion extending from the elongate portion upwardly behind the handle, the loop portion terminating in a hooked tip biased against the back of the stock to form a retainer for a rubber band stretched along the length of the stock and barrel so that pulling back on the trigger portion draws the hooked tip away from the stock and releases the band. The trigger element is characteristically bent to enable its tension to be adjusted.
