Abstract

This invention relates to a shooting toy and, in particular, to one including a base plate, two imitation figures, two guns and several pictures. When the imitation figures are pressed down to the end of a respective hollow barrel, air will be pressed into the guns through a pneumatic pipe and push a suction cup out to suck a picture out from an outer rotating shell to enjoy shooting fun.

Claims

1. A shooting toy, comprising:

a base plate, having two round plates disposed on opposite sides of a central platform, two walls also disposed on opposite sides of the platform, an inner rotatable shell, two slant troughs one on each side of the platform, a switch and two LEDs, wherein said round plates have thereon corresponding barrels for each accommodating one of two figures each of which has a stand supported on a helical spring;

a transmission device, having a battery, a motor, an inner gear, an outer gear and an idle gear, said motor, inner gear, outer gear and idle gear all being rotatable supported on a foundation plate and covered with said base plate;

an outer rotating shell having several troughs therein for accommodating pictures, the outer shell covering the inner rotating shell;

two guns, each having a casing, a barrel, a spring, a suction cup, a firing pin and a pneumatic tube, wherein each said pneumatic tube has one end connected to one of said round plates and another end connected to a corresponding one of said guns, whereby a downward force on the head of either of the two figures into the the hollow barrel enables the suction cup to be moved forward and to contact and apply suction to a picture to remove the picture out of the trough holding the same on the outer rotating shell.

2. A shooting toy as claimed in claim 1, further comprising:

a switch and two LEDs, connected such that when said switch is turned to a first position, a first one of the two LEDs is illuminated and said motor is actuated to drive said inner gear, outer gear and idle gear to thereby rotate said inner rotating shell and outer rotating shell to rotate clockwise and when the switch is turned to a second position a second one of the two LEDs is illuminated and said motor rotates said inner rotating shell and outer rotating shell counterclockwise.
