Claim 7

The toy gun of claim 1, wherein said actuation means includes sound signal means for driving said sound producing means with a frequency modulated signal when said trigger is depressed.

Claim 8

The toy gun of claim 1, further including reflection means disposed within said main body on the other side of said light source opposite said first light transmission means for directing and concentrating said light pulses into said first light transmission means.

Claim 9

The toy gun of claim 1 in which the light source is a gaseous discharge flash tube.

Claim 10

The toy gun of claim 8 in which the sound producing means is positioned within said main body rearwardly of the gaseous discharge flash tube.

Claim 11

The toy gun of claim 1 in which the first light transmission means is a solid rod having the optical property of directing and radiating a major portion of the light from the light source axially of the rod.

Claim 12

The toy gun of claim 10 in which a fin of light transmitting material is positioned transversely of the main body, the fin being in light communication with the light source so that light is simultaneously emitted from the fin and from the solid rod when the light source is actuated.

Claim 13

The toy gun of claim 11 in which the light source is a gaseous discharge flash tube.

Claim 14

The toy gun of claim 1 in which the actuation means successively and intermittently actuates the light source and the sound producing means by a single depression of the trigger.

Claim 15

The toy gun of claim 1 in which the actuation means is provided with adjustable means to vary the frequency of actuation of the light source.

Claim 16

The toy gun of claim 13 or 14 in which the light source is a gaseous discharge flash tube.

Claim 17

The toy gun of claim 15 in which the actuation means is provided with second adjustable means to vary the frequency of the sound generated by the sound producing means.

Claim 18

A toy gun having a generally cylindrical main body secured to a grip for simultaneously producing sounds and emitting light pulses when a trigger is depressed, comprising: a front end piece secured to a front portion of said main body and having a barrel; a light source secured within said main body; first light transmission means secured within said barrel and extending into said main body in front of said light source for transmitting light pulses developed by said light source along the axis of said cylindrical main body; second light transmission means secured within a wall of and extending into said main body for transmitting said light pulses transverse to the axis of said main body; reflection means disposed within the main body behind said light source opposite from said first light transmission means for directing and concentrating said light pulses into said light transmission means; a rear end piece secured to a rear portion of said main body and having a back end surface; sound producing means secured to said back end surface; and actuation means for simultaneously actuating said light source and said sound producing means in response to said trigger depression.

Claim 19

A toy gun having a generally cylindrical main body secured to a grip for simultaneously producing sounds and emitting light pulses when a trigger is depressed, comprising: a front end piece secured to a front portion of said main body and having a barrel; a light source secured within said main body; first light transmission means secured within said barrel and extending into said main body in front of said light source for transmitting light pulses developed by said light source along the axis of said cylindrical main body; second light transmission means secured within a wall of and extending into said main body for transmitting said light pulses transverse to the axis of said main body; reflection means disposed within the main body behind said light source opposite from said first light transmission means for directing and concentrating said light pulses into said light transmission means; a rear end piece secured to a rear portion of said main body and having a back end surface; sound producing means secured to said back end surface; and actuation means for simultaneously actuating said light source and said sound producing means in response to said trigger depression.

Claim 20

The toy gun of claim 17, wherein said front end piece includes a front sight and said rear end piece includes a rear sight for assisting aiming of said toy gun.

Claim 21

The toy gun of claim 17, further including mounting means for mounting said actuation means within said grip whereby said actuation means is fully enclosed therein.

Claim 22

The toy gun of claim 17, wherein said actuation means includes sound signal means for driving said sound producing means with a frequency modulated signal when said trigger is depressed.

Claim 23

A toy gun having a generally cylindrical main body secured to a grip for simultaneously producing sounds and emitting light pulses when a trigger is depressed, comprising:

Claim 24

A toy gun having a generally cylindrical main body secured to a grip for simultaneously producing sounds and emitting light pulses when a trigger is depressed, comprising:

Claim 25

sound producing means for generating sounds in response to a first output signal; a light source secured within said main body for producing light pulses in response to a second output signal; a cylindrical first light transmission means partially disposed within said main body for transmitting said light pulses parallel to the axis of said main body; second light transmission means partially disposed within a wall of and extending out of said main body for transmitting said light pulses transverse to the axis of said main body; actuating means coupled to said sound producing means and said light source for simultaneously providing said first and second output signals when said trigger is depressed; a rear end piece secured to a rear portion of said main body; and a rear end cap having a series of perforations for securing said sound producing means against said rear end piece while allowing sounds developed by said sound producing means to escape said gun.

Claim 26

sound producing means for generating sounds in response to a first output signal; a light source secured within said main body for producing light pulses in response to a second output signal; a cylindrical first light transmission means partially disposed within said main body for transmitting said light pulses parallel to the axis of said main body; second light transmission means partially disposed within a wall of and extending out of said main body for transmitting said light pulses transverse to the axis of said main body; actuating means coupled to said sound producing means and said light source for simultaneously providing said first and second output signals when said trigger is depressed; a rear end piece secured to a rear portion of said main body; and a rear end cap having a series of perforations for securing said sound producing means against said rear end piece while allowing sounds developed by said sound producing means to escape said gun.
