GIOCATTOLO LANCIATORE DI PROIETTILI A FORMA DI DISCHETTI

A toy launcher of a safe and simple construction for use in propelling soft, round discs includes a round or saucer shaped housing with an integrally formed handle for engagement by an operator's hand and a two position, manually operable actuating arm for moving a disc from a loading position to a firing position and for simultaneously placing a spring actuated firing mechanism in a firing position under the control of a trigger mechanism. After positioning a disc in the disc firing position, the actuating arm is returned to the disc loading position both to position another disc in the disc loading position and to clear a launching slot in the launcher to enable the disc in the disc firing position to be propelled. The actuating arm includes an arcuately shaped elongated portion extending rearwardly from a curved disc engaging portion for preventing discs loaded in a supply magazine positioned above the actuating arm from being fed by gravity into the disc loading position unless the actuating arm is positioned in the disc loading position. An annular track is disposed wholly within the launcher for internally restricting the movement of the spring loaded firing mechanism to prevent any portion of the firing mechanism from accidentally contacting the operator of the toy launcher.
