Kit for making a toy gun, including instructions

Abstract

A kit for making a toy gun. The kit can include a set of instructions instructing the user on the proper process for making a toy gun, and a proper process for learning about gun safety while making the toy gun. The kit can comprise a plurality of blocks which can be made from any material but can be made from wood. These blocks can be glued or coupled together. The gun can ultimately be used to shoot elastic elements such as rubber bands.

1 . A toy gun comprising: 
 a) a trigger;    b) a barrel wherein said barrel comprises 
 i) an inner barrel section;  
 ii) an outer barrel section;  
   c) a handle wherein said handle is coupled to said barrel on said outer barrel section;    d) a post coupled to said trigger, wherein said trigger is movable in a trigger slot formed between said barrel and said handle;    e) an elastic element coupled to said handle, said elastic element for interacting with said post in said trigger, to drive said trigger back into its resting position.    
   
   
       2 . The toy gun as in  claim 1 , wherein said elastic element is in the form of a rubber band.  
   
   
       3 . The toy gun as in  claim 2 , further comprising at least one additional post coupled to said post, wherein said rubber band is coupled to said at least one additional post.  
   
   
       4 . The toy gun as in  claim 1  wherein said handle further comprises a hole for receiving said elastic element.  
   
   
       5 . The toy gun as in  claim 1 , wherein said handle comprises: 
 a) a first block having a hole;    b) a plurality of bottom handle blocks;    c) a plurality of outer blocks;    d) a plurality of inner cover blocks, wherein said bottom handle blocks, said plurality of outer blocks and said inner cover blocks are all coupled to said first block.    
   
   
       6 . The toy gun as in  claim 1 , wherein said barrel comprises: 
 a) a plurality of barrel side pieces;    b) a front barrel piece;    c) and a stock, wherein said plurality of barrel side pieces are coupled to said front barrel piece and said stock to form said barrel.    
   
   
       7 . A kit for making a gun comprising: 
 a) a trigger;    b) a plurality of barrel elements in the form of a elongated blocks;    c) a plurality of handle elements in the form of elongated blocks;    d) a set of instructions for putting said plurality of barrel elements, and said plurality of handle elements, together.    
   
   
       8 . The kit as in  claim 7 , wherein said trigger is in the form of an elongated block.  
   
   
       9 . The kit as in  claim 7 , wherein said trigger, said plurality of barrel elements and said plurality of handle elements are in the form of wood blocks.  
   
   
       10 . The kit as in  claim 9 , further comprising at least one post.  
   
   
       11 . The kit as in  claim 10 , wherein said at least one post is insertable into said trigger.  
   
   
       12 . The kit as in  claim 10 , wherein said at least one post is insertable into said handle.  
   
   
       13 . The kit as in  claim 10 , further comprising at least one rubber band.  
   
   
       14 . A process for assembling a toy gun comprising: 
 a) coupling a plurality of elongated blocks together to form at least one handle;    b) coupling a plurality of elongated blocks together to form at least one barrel; and    c) slidably inserting at least one trigger into a hole in the gun.    
   
   
       15 . The process as in  claim 14 , wherein said step of assembling said at least one handle and said step of assembling said at least on barrel includes using glue to assemble these elements together.  
   
   
       16 . The process as in  claim 14 , further comprising inserting at least one post into said trigger.  
   
   
       17 . The process as in  claim 16 , further comprising inserting at least one post into said barrel.  
   
   
       18 . The process as in  claim 17 , further comprising coupling at least rubber band to said post coupled to said barrel.  
   
   
       19 . The process as in  claim 18 , further comprising inserting said trigger into a region between said handle and said barrel.  
   
   
       20 . The process as in  claim 19 , further comprising coupling at least one rubber band around said barrel.  
   
   
       21 . A process for teaching children about gun safety comprising the steps of: 
 a) assembling a barrel from a plurality of blocks and then instructing the user of the significance of the barrel;    b) assembling the handle from a plurality of blocks and then instructing the user of the significance of the handle;    c) coupling the handle to the barrel and then instructing the user on general gun safety;    d) inserting the trigger into the gun and then instructing the user of the significance of the trigger;    e) loading the gun and then instructing the user of the role of ammunition.    
   
   
       22 . The process as in  claim 21 , wherein said step of assembling the barrel includes teaching a user to never assume that a gun is not loaded.  
   
   
       23 . The process as in  claim 21 , wherein the step of assembling the handle includes teaching a user to secure a gun.
