[0006]Accordingly, several objects of my invention are to provide: (1) A universal elastic band magazine that can be used in the design of various toy guns, including Gatling guns, with minimal requirements on the part of gun designers. (2) A magazine that can adapt to different requirements of gun designers through modular design. (3) A magazine that is preloadable, replaceable in seconds once exhausted, and reusable. (4) A magazine that can dispense elastic bands in various shooting modes, one of them is continuous firing without
Problems solved by technology
The first approach has the inherently intractable problem of causing stretched elastic bands to tangle up at the front end of a barrel and misfire.
This inventor does not think it is worthwhile to improve on the first approach and, instead, concentrates on refining the second category of elastic band guns.
(2) Some need two hands to operate; as one hand is cranking it is hard for the other hand to keep the gun steady.
(3) Except for U.S. Pat. No. 5,222,472, magazines are not removable or exchangeable; once elastic bands are exhausted, it takes time to reloa

Embodiment Construction
[0023]This magazine is designed to discharge stretched elastic bands in elastic band guns and projectiles propelled by stretched elastic bands in slingshot guns. For the ease of adapting to the above-mentioned purposes and to different types and numbers of elastic bands with a minimal number of components and redesigning, the magazine is assembled, referring to FIGS. 1-3 and more particularly to the drawings wherein like numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout several views, from a hook block 21, a finger housing composed of a front portion 23 and a rear portion 24 to sandwich fingers 27 in the mortises formed by slots 23b (FIG. 8) and 24b (FIG. 9) strung by a circular wire ring 28 through a pivoting hole 27a (FIG. 13) in the finger and the wire ring between semicircular grooves 23d and 24d, a tube 22 of varying lengths for different types of elastic bands with slots 22a (FIG. 7) to match with a key 21a (FIG. 6) on the hook block and a key 23a on the front port...

Abstract
A preloadable, swappable and reloadable cylindrical magazine for rubber band and slingshot guns. Exhausted magazines can be replaced in seconds, allowing extended shooting. The release mechanism of projectiles is self-contained; no trigger as it is understood is required, making it particularly suitable in the design of Gatling guns. Hooks in front and fingers at rear engage energized projectiles. The rotation of the magazine causes fingers to tilt forward and projectiles to free themselves by sliding up the tilted fingers without outside disturbances, assuring the best shooting accuracy ever. A pawl and a ratchet wheel control the rotation of magazines. Depending on how long the pawl is disengaged, single shots or continuous firing is equally easy to execute. The successive firing rate is determined by how fast the magazine can rotate. Modular design allows through combinations of components numerous configurations for different sizes and numbers of elastic bands and various designs of toy guns.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention relates to elastic band and slingshot guns, specifically to an improved cylindrical magazine for elastic band and slingshot guns.[0002]Many toy guns have been invented to fire a plurality of elastic bands. There are generally two approaches: the first mounts the front end of all stretched elastic bands to a front recess on a barrel; the second uses cylindrical magazines thereon ridges, slats or vanes are used to hold individual stretched elastic bands, and U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,001,267, 3,515,387, 3,693,609, 3,757,760, 4,676,219, 4,800,864, 5,222,472, 5,460,150 and 5,505,186 are generally indicative of state-of-the-art of this category. The first approach has the inherently intractable problem of causing stretched elastic bands to tangle up at the front end of a barrel and misfire. This inventor does not think it is worthwhile to improve on the first approach and, instead, concentrates on refining the second category of elastic band guns.[0...
