(under subclass 56) Apparatus provided with a component that
is carried by the apparatus and is driven relative to the apparatus by an action of the user of such apparatus, wherein the driving of said component pressurizes the fluid that impels a missile.
(1) Note. The user's action may be applied to the pressurizing component directly to cause a momentary pressure that is used immediately, or may be applied indirectly by an intermediate member that transmits the user's force into a pressurizing force. Moreover, the user's energy may be stored in a spring member that will subsequently drive the pressurizing component, or stored in a container of pressurized fluid.
