Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of toys, and in particular to a toy soft bullet pistol. Background Technology
[0002] Soft bullet toy guns are among the most popular toy guns currently available. The soft bullets used in these guns typically have cotton tips or suction cups, which do not cause harm to the human body after being fired, and are gradually replacing toy guns made of other materials.
[0003] However, since soft bullet toy guns typically use soft bullets consisting of a cartridge case and a bullet (the bullet is usually made of cotton or has a suction cup), when fired, the bullet exits the barrel, while the cartridge case remains inside. Current soft bullet toy pistols cannot eject the cartridge case from the gun body after firing the bullet; they usually only have a cartridge case window on the gun body to retrieve the cartridge case. This not only lacks realism but also frequently causes jamming when pulling the bolt to load, easily affecting the playing experience. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a toy soft bullet pistol that can eject the spent cartridge case from the toy pistol after the soft bullet is fired, without jamming.
[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the following technical solution is adopted:
[0006] A toy soft-ball pistol includes a toy gun body, a gun body with a barrel, a chamber inside the barrel, a retaining ring at the front end of the chamber, and a soft-ball inside the chamber. The toy gun body is characterized by: the front end of the barrel being rotatably connected to the gun body, with a locking mechanism between the barrel and the gun body; the chamber being located in the middle-rear part of the barrel, and having a rear end opening; and an ejection mechanism at the front of the chamber capable of ejecting the soft-ball from the rear end opening of the chamber during ejection.
[0007] Typically, the aforementioned toy gun also includes standard toy gun features such as a grip, bolt, trigger, and soft-shot firing mechanism. The bolt has a notch for the barrel to pass through during swinging. In the firing state, the rear opening of the chamber corresponds to the position of the soft-shot firing mechanism. The firing state refers to the state where the barrel is locked to the gun body via a locking mechanism; the ejection state refers to the state where the barrel, after rotation, fully exposes the rear opening of the chamber to the outside.
[0008] The soft cartridges in the aforementioned toy soft cartridge pistols typically consist of a cartridge case and a bullet contained within the cartridge case. In the firing state, the soft cartridge is located in the chamber, with its rear end in contact with the soft cartridge launching device. Upon firing, the bullet is launched by the device, while the cartridge case is retained in the chamber by a retaining ring in the barrel. When ejection or reloading is required, the locking mechanism is first used to disengage the rear end of the barrel from the receiver. The barrel can then swing around its hinge point, tilting the rear end upwards until the rear opening of the chamber is fully exposed. At this point, the barrel is in the ejection state, and the cartridge case is ejected from the chamber through the ejection mechanism, thus ejecting the fired cartridge case from the toy soft cartridge pistol. After ejection, a new soft cartridge can be loaded into the chamber through the rear opening. The rear end of the barrel is then pressed down, and the locking mechanism re-locks the barrel back into the firing state, repeating the cycle. This toy soft-ball pistol can eject the spent cartridge case from the toy pistol after the soft-ball is fired, without jamming.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the locking mechanism includes a first locking member disposed at the rear end of the barrel, a second locking member disposed on the gun body, and a trigger for disengaging the first and second locking members. When ejection or reloading is required, the trigger disengages the first and second locking members, allowing the barrel to swing around its front hinge point. After ejection, the rear end of the barrel can be pressed down until the first and second locking members re-engage, fixing the barrel in the firing position.
[0010] In a further preferred embodiment, the locking mechanism further includes a rotating component rotatably mounted on the gun body, and the triggering component is connected to the rotating component. The second fastening component is mounted on the rotating component. When ejection and reloading are required, the rotating component can be controlled to rotate via the triggering component, causing the second fastening component to disengage from the first fastening component, thereby swinging the barrel and changing the barrel from the firing state to the ejection state.
[0011] In a further preferred embodiment, the rotating component is a first rotating shaft, which is rotatably mounted on the gun body. One end of the first rotating shaft extends out of the gun body and connects to the triggering component. The first fastening component is a first hook, and the first hook corresponds to the middle position of the first rotating shaft. The middle position of the first rotating shaft constitutes the second fastening component, and a notch is provided at the middle position of the first rotating shaft. When the barrel is in the firing state, the first hook engages at the middle position of the first rotating shaft. When ejection and reloading are required, the triggering component controls the first rotating shaft to rotate until the notch at the middle position corresponds to the first hook. At this time, the first hook can disengage from the middle position of the first rotating shaft at the notch, allowing the barrel to swing.
[0012] In a further preferred embodiment, the locking mechanism further includes a first torsion spring, which is sleeved on the first rotating shaft, and the end of the first torsion spring is connected to or in close contact with the gun body.
[0013] In another, more preferred embodiment, the first fastening element is a second hook, and the second fastening element is a third hook that matches the second hook. When the barrel is in the firing position, the second hook and the third hook engage to fix the barrel position; when ejection and reloading are required, the barrel can be swung by rotating the rotating component to disengage the third hook from the second hook.
[0014] In a further preferred embodiment, the gun body is also provided with a safety, which constitutes the trigger element. One end of the safety is connected to the rotating element, and the safety is rotatably mounted on the gun body via the rotating element.
[0015] In a preferred embodiment, the retaining ring is movably disposed at the front of the chamber. The ejection mechanism includes a first compression spring, which is disposed at the front end of the chamber. The front end of the first compression spring is fixedly connected to the chamber, and the rear end of the first compression spring is fixedly connected to the retaining ring. During reloading, when a new cartridge is loaded into the chamber through the rear opening, the front end of the cartridge compresses the first compression spring via the retaining ring. During ejection, when the barrel transitions to the ejection state, the kinetic energy of the first compression spring is released, allowing the cartridge case to be ejected via the retaining ring.
[0016] In a further preferred embodiment, the front of the barrel is provided with a retaining ring limiting mechanism, which has a locking portion that matches the rear edge of the retaining ring. By setting the retaining ring limiting mechanism, when a new soft cartridge is replaced and loaded into the chamber, the retaining ring limiting mechanism can limit the retaining ring after the soft cartridge has fully entered the chamber, preventing the soft cartridge from ejecting under the action of the first compression spring and the retaining ring.
[0017] In a further preferred embodiment, the retaining ring limiting mechanism includes a retaining ring limiting block and a second compression spring. The middle part of the retaining ring limiting block is rotatably mounted on the front of the barrel. The rear end of the retaining ring limiting block has an inwardly extending fourth hook, which constitutes the engaging part. The rear side of the fourth hook is an inclined surface that slopes outward from front to back. The front end of the retaining ring limiting block has an inwardly extending positioning post. The second compression spring is sleeved on the positioning post. The inner end of the second compression spring is connected to or in close contact with the barrel, and the outer end of the second compression spring is connected to or in close contact with the retaining ring limiting block. The aforementioned inward and outward directions are determined according to the position of the chamber; the position closer to the chamber axis is inward, and the position farther from the chamber axis is outward. When the soft cartridge is loaded into the chamber, the soft cartridge can press down the rear end of the retaining ring limiting block through the inclined surface. At this time, the soft cartridge can smoothly pass through the retaining ring limiting block and be loaded into the chamber, pushing the retaining ring forward. After the soft cartridge is completely in the chamber, the rear end of the retaining ring limiting block swings inward again under the action of the second compression spring, so that the fourth hook engages at the rear edge of the retaining ring, limiting the retaining ring.
[0018] In a further preferred embodiment, the front end of the retaining ring limiting block protrudes from the barrel, and the gun body is provided with a limiting push block that matches the front end of the retaining ring limiting block. With this configuration, when the reloading is completed and the barrel position is fixed in the firing state, the front end of the retaining ring limiting block contacts the limiting push block of the gun body, causing the retaining ring limiting block to swing. At this time, the fourth latch disengages from the retaining ring, and the retaining ring, under the action of the first compression spring, pushes the soft cartridge along the chamber to move backward a certain distance, thereby contacting the soft cartridge launching device. In this case, the fourth latch only contacts the side wall of the retaining ring and will not limit the retaining ring again when ejection is required later, thus not affecting ejection.
[0019] In a preferred embodiment, the front end of the barrel is hinged to the gun body via a second pivot. A second torsion spring is fitted onto the second pivot. One end of the second torsion spring is connected to or in close contact with the barrel, and the other end is connected to or in close contact with the gun body. When the rear end of the barrel disengages from the gun body, the barrel can automatically swing around the hinge point under the action of the second torsion spring, causing the rear end of the barrel to swing upward.
[0020] The beneficial effect of this utility model is that this toy soft bullet pistol can eject the spent cartridge case from the toy pistol after the soft bullet is fired, without jamming. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:
[0028] Example 1, such as Figure 1-6 The toy soft-ball pistol shown includes a toy gun body, a gun body with a receiver 1, a gun barrel 2 on the receiver 1, a chamber 3 in the middle and rear part of the gun barrel 2, and the chamber 3 has a rear end opening. A retaining ring 4 is provided at the front end of the chamber 3. Soft-balls 5 are loaded inside the chamber 3. An ejection mechanism 6 is provided at the front of the chamber 3, which can eject the soft-balls 5 from the rear end opening of the chamber 3 in the ejection state. The front end of the gun barrel 2 is rotatably connected to the gun body 1, and a locking mechanism 7 is provided between the gun barrel 2 and the gun body 1.
[0029] The toy gun body also includes standard toy gun features such as a grip, bolt, trigger, and soft-bullet launching device. The bolt has a notch for the barrel 2 to pass through during swinging. In the firing state, the rear opening of the chamber 3 corresponds to the position of the soft-bullet launching device. The firing state refers to the state where the barrel 2 is locked to the gun body 1 by the locking mechanism 7; the ejection state refers to the state where the barrel 2, after rotation, completely exposes the rear opening of the chamber 3 to the outside.
[0030] The soft cartridge 5 in the aforementioned toy soft cartridge pistol includes a cartridge case and a bullet contained within the cartridge case. In the firing state, the soft cartridge 5 is located in the chamber 3, and its rear end is in contact with the soft cartridge launching device. During firing, the bullet of the soft cartridge 5 is launched by the soft cartridge launching device, while the cartridge case is blocked and retained in the chamber 3 by the case retainer ring 4 in the barrel 2. When ejection and reloading are required, the locking mechanism 7 is first controlled to disengage the rear end of the barrel 2 from the receiver 1. At this time, the barrel 2 can rotate around the hinge point at the front end. The barrel 2 is swung upwards until the rear opening of the chamber 3 is fully exposed. At this point, the barrel 2 is in the ejection state, and the spent cartridge case is ejected from the rear opening of the chamber 3 by the ejection mechanism 6, thus completing the ejection of the fired cartridge case from the toy soft-ball pistol. After ejection, a new soft cartridge 5 can be loaded into the chamber 3 through the rear opening. Then, the rear end of the barrel 2 is pressed down, and the locking mechanism 7 locks the barrel 2 back onto the receiver 1, returning it to the firing state. This cycle is repeated. This toy soft-ball pistol can eject the fired cartridge case after the soft cartridge 5 is fired without jamming.
[0031] The locking mechanism 7 includes a first locking member 701 disposed at the rear end of the barrel 2, a second locking member 702 disposed on the receiver 1, and a triggering member 703 for disengaging the first locking member 701 and the second locking member 702. When ejection and reloading are required, the triggering member 703 disengages the first locking member 701 from the second locking member 702, allowing the barrel 2 to swing around the hinge point at its front end. After ejection, the rear end of the barrel 2 can be pressed down until the first locking member 701 re-engages with the second locking member 702, fixing the barrel 2 in the firing position.
[0032] The locking mechanism 7 also includes a rotating member 704, which is rotatably mounted on the receiver 1. A trigger member 703 is connected to the rotating member 704, and a second latching member 702 is mounted on the rotating member 704. When ejection or reloading is required, the trigger member 703 can control the rotating member 704 to rotate, causing the second latching member 702 to disengage from the first latching member 701. This allows the barrel 2 to swing, transitioning it from the firing state to the ejection state.
[0033] The rotating component 704 is the first rotating shaft, which is rotatably mounted on the gun body 1. One end of the first rotating shaft extends out of the gun body 1 and connects to the trigger component 703. The first latching component 701 is the first hook, and the first hook corresponds to the middle position of the first rotating shaft. The middle position of the first rotating shaft constitutes the second latching component 702, and a notch 7041 is opened in the middle position of the first rotating shaft. When the barrel 2 is in the firing state, the first hook is engaged in the middle position of the first rotating shaft. When ejection and reloading are required, the trigger component 703 controls the first rotating shaft to rotate, so that the first rotating shaft rotates to the position where the notch 7041 in the middle position corresponds to the first hook. At this time, the first hook can disengage from the middle position of the first rotating shaft at the notch 7041, allowing the barrel 2 to swing.
[0034] The locking mechanism 7 also includes a first torsion spring 705, which is sleeved on the first rotating shaft, and the end of the first torsion spring 705 is connected to or in close contact with the gun body 1.
[0035] The gun body 1 is also equipped with a safety, which is a trigger 703. One end of the safety is connected to a rotating member 704, and the safety is rotatably mounted on the gun body 1 via the rotating member 704.
[0036] The retaining ring 4 is movably disposed at the front of the chamber 3. The ejection mechanism 6 includes a first compression spring, which is disposed at the front end of the chamber 3. The front end of the first compression spring is fixedly connected to the chamber 3, and the rear end of the first compression spring is fixedly connected to the retaining ring 4. During reloading, when a new cartridge 5 is loaded into the chamber 3 through the rear opening, the front end of the cartridge 5 compresses the first compression spring through the retaining ring 4. During ejection, when the barrel 2 is switched to the ejection state, the kinetic energy of the first compression spring is released, allowing the cartridge case to be ejected through the retaining ring 4.
[0037] The front of the barrel 2 is provided with a retaining ring limiting mechanism 201, which has a locking part that matches the rear edge of the retaining ring 4. By setting the retaining ring limiting mechanism 201, when a new soft cartridge 5 is replaced and loaded into the chamber 3, the retaining ring limiting mechanism 201 can limit the retaining ring 4 after the soft cartridge 5 has fully entered the chamber 3, preventing the soft cartridge 5 from being ejected under the action of the first compression spring and the retaining ring 4.
[0038] The retaining ring limiting mechanism 201 includes a retaining ring limiting block 2011 and a second compression spring 2012. The middle part of the retaining ring limiting block 2011 is rotatably mounted on the front part of the barrel 2. The rear end of the retaining ring limiting block 2011 is provided with an inwardly extending fourth hook 20111, which forms an engaging part. The rear side of the fourth hook 20111 is an inclined surface that slopes outward from front to back. The front end of the retaining ring limiting block 2011 is provided with an inwardly extending positioning post 20112. The second compression spring 2012 is sleeved on the positioning post 20112. The inner end of the second compression spring 2012 is connected to or in close contact with the barrel 2, and the outer end of the second compression spring 2012 is connected to or in close contact with the retaining ring limiting block 2011. The aforementioned inner and outer directions are determined according to the position of the chamber 3. The position closer to the axis of the chamber 3 is inner, and the position farther from the axis of the chamber 3 is outer. When the soft bullet 5 is loaded into the chamber 3, the soft bullet 5 can press down the rear end of the retaining ring limiting block 2011 through the inclined surface. At this time, the soft bullet 5 can smoothly pass through the retaining ring limiting block 2011 and be loaded into the chamber 3, and push the retaining ring 4 forward. After the soft bullet 5 is completely in the chamber 3, the rear end of the retaining ring limiting block 2011 swings inward again under the action of the second compression spring 2012, so that the fourth hook 20111 is engaged at the rear edge of the retaining ring 4, and the retaining ring 4 is limited.
[0039] The front end of the retaining ring limiting block 2011 protrudes from the barrel 2, and the receiver 1 is provided with a limiting push block 101 that matches the front end of the retaining ring limiting block 2011. With this configuration, when the reloading is completed and the barrel 2 is fixed in the firing position, the front end of the retaining ring limiting block 2011 contacts the limiting push block 101 of the receiver 1, causing the retaining ring limiting block 2011 to swing. At this time, the fourth hook 20111 disengages from the retaining ring 4, and the retaining ring 4 can push the soft cartridge 5 to move backward a certain distance along the chamber 3 under the action of the first compression spring, thereby contacting the soft cartridge launching device. In this case, the fourth hook 20111 only contacts the side wall of the retaining ring 4 and will not limit the retaining ring 4 again when ejection is required later, so as not to affect ejection.
[0040] The front end of the barrel 2 is hinged to the gun body 1 via a second pivot 202. A second torsion spring 203 is fitted onto the second pivot 202. One end of the second torsion spring 203 is connected to or in close contact with the barrel 2, and the other end is connected to or in close contact with the gun body 1. When the rear end of the barrel 2 disengages from the gun body 1, the barrel 2 can automatically swing around the hinge point under the action of the second torsion spring 203, causing the rear end of the barrel 2 to swing upward.
[0041] Example 2 differs from Example 1 in that the first fastening element is a second hook, and the second fastening element is a third hook that matches the second hook. When the barrel is in the firing state, the second hook and the third hook engage to fix the barrel position; when ejection and reloading are required, the barrel can be swung by rotating the rotating component to disengage the third hook from the second hook.
