Abstract

A cap-firing arm for a toy figure, the arm being frictionally secured for rotation at the shoulder of the figure by a hollow hub having a pinion gear internally of the figure. The arm is hollow and includes a spring-loaded hammer member slidably mounted therein with a cocking pin extending outwardly through a slot in the lower portion of the arm. The hammer member includes a firing pin adapted for coacting with an anvil secured within a hand mounting member which is slidable for loading the cap. The hammer member includes a tear drop shaped lobe extending through a similarly configured aperture adjacent to the shoulder portion and an actuating rod extending through the hollow hub disengages the lobe upon depression of a back plate of the figure which simultaneously elevates the arm to a horizontal position whereupon the cap is fired.
