Multi-trajectory magazine for toy gun

Abstract

A multi-trajectory magazine for a toy gun includes a magazine base, a partition unit formed within the magazine base, and a projectile pushing unit mounted on the magazine base. The partition unit and the magazine base define at least one storage trajectory, multiple first narrowing trajectories connected to the at least one storage trajectory, and a confluence trajectory connected to the ejection port and the first narrowing trajectories. Each first narrowing trajectory and each confluence trajectory allows only one projectile to pass through. The projectile pushing unit is adapted to push the projectile from the at least one storage trajectory through the first narrowing trajectories and then through the confluence trajectories one by one. Thus, through the design of the first narrowing trajectories, the number of projectiles moving is gradually reduced from multiple to one, thereby increasing the number of projectiles that can be accommodated and improving the smoothness of projectile output.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a magazine, and more particularly to a multi-ballistic magazine for a toy gun. Background Technology

[0002] A conventional magazine disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. JP2005106302 mainly includes a feed port for discharging projectiles, a receiving space for accommodating multiple projectiles, an alignment groove facing the feed port for accommodating two rows of projectiles, an alignment slot communicating with the alignment groove and the receiving space, and a spring-pressing element disposed in the alignment groove for pushing projectiles. Thus, when the projectiles in the alignment groove are exhausted, projectiles are refilled from the alignment slot into the alignment groove by tilting the magazine.

[0003] Since the number of projectiles in the storage space is large and arranged in multiple rows, if they are directly fed into the feed port, they will push against each other and get stuck. Therefore, although the aforementioned magazine can increase the capacity of the projectiles, the number of projectiles that can actually be used for firing is only the two rows of projectiles located in the alignment slot. When the projectiles in the alignment slot are exhausted, it is still necessary to tilt the magazine and refill the projectiles from the inside. In this way, it does not actually reduce the number of times the projectiles need to be refilled.

[0004] In addition, the magazine's storage space can only hold a fixed number of bullets. If the storage space is large and can hold a large number of bullets, although the number of times bullets need to be refilled from the outside can be reduced, the weight will be heavier. Conversely, if the storage space is small and lightweight, the number of times bullets need to be refilled will be increased due to the small number of bullets, which may not meet the usage requirements. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multi-ballistic magazine for toy guns that can increase the number of projectiles and improve the smoothness of output.

[0006] The multi-ballistic magazine for the toy gun of the present invention is suitable for accommodating multiple projectiles and includes a magazine base, a separator unit, and a projectile pushing unit.

[0007] The cartridge holder extends along its length and has a cartridge outlet.

[0008] The dividing unit is formed within the housing and defines, together with the housing, at least one storage trajectory extending along the length direction, M first narrowing trajectories connected to the at least one storage trajectory, and a confluence trajectory connected to the projectile exit and the first narrowing trajectories. The at least one storage trajectory is adapted to align the projectiles so that the projectiles are arranged in R rows along the width direction, where M < R. Each first narrowing trajectory and the confluence trajectory allows only one projectile to pass through.

[0009] The projectile pushing unit is installed on the magazine and is adapted to push the projectile from the at least one storage trajectory through the first converging trajectory and then through the converging trajectory.

[0010] The multi-trajectory magazine for the toy gun of the present invention further defines at least one second narrowing trajectory with the magazine base, the at least one second narrowing trajectory being connected to the first narrowing trajectory and the converging trajectory, and each second narrowing trajectory allowing only one projectile to pass through.

[0011] The multi-ballistic magazine for the toy gun of the present invention defines S storage trajectories and N second contracted trajectories by the separating unit and the magazine base, where M and N are even numbers, and R > S > N and R > M > N.

[0012] The multi-trajectory magazine for the toy gun of the present invention includes a partition unit comprising a partition plate defining two half-chambers with the magazine base, and two partition ribs blocking the space between the partition plate and the magazine base and separating each half-chamber into two storage trajectories.

[0013] The multi-ballistic magazine of the toy gun of the present invention further includes four guide rib groups in the dividing unit. Each guide rib group extends in the front-back direction from at least one of the magazine seat and the dividing plate. Every two guide rib groups are spaced apart from the dividing ribs in the width direction, blocking the space between the dividing plate and the magazine seat, and defining two first converging ballistic trajectories with the dividing ribs. The length direction, the width direction and the front-back direction are substantially perpendicular to each other.

[0014] The multi-ballistic magazine of the toy gun of the present invention further defines a second converging ballistic trajectory by each pair of the guide ribs and the corresponding separating ribs. The pushing unit includes multiple pushing parts and multiple elastic elements. Each pushing part is disposed in its own storage trajectory, and each elastic element is disposed between its own pushing part and the magazine seat, constantly generating an elastic force that causes its own pushing part to move toward the ejection port.

[0015] The toy gun of the present invention has a multi-trajectory magazine. The magazine base includes a main magazine body, an expanded magazine body, and a magazine sleeve. The main magazine body has the ejection port. Either the expanded magazine body or the magazine sleeve is detachably connected to the main magazine body along the length direction. The expanded magazine body has multiple expanded ballistics with openings facing one side. When the expanded magazine body is connected to the main magazine body, each of the expanded ballistics is connected to its respective storage ballistics, and each of the ejector components moves between its respective expanded ballistics and its respective storage ballistics. Each of the elastic elements is disposed between its respective ejector component and the expanded magazine body. When the magazine sleeve is connected to the main magazine body, each of the ejector components moves in its respective storage ballistics, and each of the elastic elements is disposed between its respective ejector component and the magazine sleeve.

[0016] The toy gun of the present invention has a multi-ballistic magazine, wherein each of the elastic elements is movably disposed between its respective storage ballistic trajectory and its respective extended ballistic trajectory.

[0017] The multi-ballistic magazine for the toy gun of the present invention includes a main magazine body having two protrusions formed on both sides along the front-rear direction and at least one groove formed on the other side. The at least one groove is spaced apart from the ejection port along the length direction. The extended magazine body also has a first socket portion that is U-shaped and defines a first interface, at least one first hook formed on the inner surface of the first socket portion, and two first mating grooves formed on the inner surface of the first socket portion. The first interface allows the main magazine body to enter and exit the first socket portion. The first socket portion is used to fit the main magazine body. The at least one first hook is used to engage the groove. The first mating groove engages with the protrusion. The length direction, the width direction, and the front-rear direction are substantially perpendicular to each other.

[0018] The multi-ballistic magazine for the toy gun of the present invention further includes a second sleeve portion that is C-shaped and defines a second interface, at least one second hook formed on the inner surface of the second sleeve portion, two second mating grooves formed on the inner surface of the second sleeve portion, and a stop surface facing the main magazine body. The second interface is used for the main magazine body to enter and exit the second sleeve portion, the second sleeve portion is used to fit the main magazine body, the second hook is used to engage the groove, the second mating groove engages with the protrusion, and the stop surface abuts against the elastic element.

[0019] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: by designing the first shrinking trajectory, the number of moving projectiles is gradually reduced from multiple to one, thereby increasing the number of projectiles that can be accommodated and improving the smoothness of outputting the projectile.

[0031] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 An embodiment of the multi-ballistic magazine for the toy gun of the present invention is suitable for accommodating multiple projectiles 1 and includes a magazine base 2, a partition unit 3, and a projectile pushing unit 4.

[0032] See Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The housing 2 extends along a length direction Z and includes a main housing 21, an extended housing 22, and a housing sleeve 23.

[0033] The main housing 21 has two opposing housing covers 212 that define a projectile outlet 211, and a housing 213 that surrounds and fits around the housing covers 212. In this embodiment, the projectile outlet 211 is adjacent to one end face and is used to deliver the projectile 1. The housing 213 has two protrusions 214 formed on both sides along a front-rear direction Y, and two grooves 215 formed at intervals along the front-rear direction Y on the other side and spaced apart from the projectile outlet 211 along the length direction Z.

[0034] The length direction Z is substantially perpendicular to the front-back direction Y, and the width direction X is defined to be substantially perpendicular to both the length direction Z and the front-back direction Y.

[0035] Either the expanded housing 22 or the housing sleeve 23 can be detachably fitted onto the main housing 21 along the length direction Z (e.g., ...). Figure 2 , Figure 9 The expanded cartridge 22 has a first socket portion 222 in the shape of an indentation that defines a first interface 221, two first hooks 223 formed on the inner surface of the first socket portion 222 for engaging with the groove 215, two first mating grooves 224 formed on the inner surface of the first socket portion 222 for engaging with the protrusion 214, and four expanded trajectories 225 with openings facing the storage trajectory 32. The first interface 221 allows the main cartridge 21 to enter and exit the first socket portion 222.

[0036] The sleeve 23 is detachably fitted onto the main casing 21 along the length direction Z, and has a second sleeve portion 232 that is C-shaped and defines a second interface 231, two second hooks 233 formed on the inner surface of the second sleeve portion 232 for fastening to the groove 215, two second mating grooves 234 formed on the inner surface of the second sleeve portion 232 for engaging with the protrusion 214, and a stop surface 235 facing the main casing 21.

[0037] See Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4The dividing unit 3 is formed within the main housing 21 of the housing 2, and defines with the main housing 21 a converging trajectory 31 connected to the projectile outlet 211, S storage trajectories 32 extending along the length direction Z, M first narrowing trajectories 33 connected to the storage trajectories 32, and N second narrowing trajectories 34 connected to the first narrowing trajectories 33 and the converging trajectory 31. The storage trajectories 32 are used to arrange the projectiles 1 side by side in R rows along the width direction X. Wherein, M, N, and R are even numbers, and R > S > N, R > M > N. In this embodiment, R=8, S=M=4, that is, the dividing unit 3 and the main housing 21 define 4 storage trajectories 32, 4 first shrinking trajectories 33, and 2 second shrinking trajectories 34, and the projectile 1 is arranged in 2 rows in each of the storage trajectories 32, for a total of 8 rows.

[0038] It is worth noting that each of the first contraction trajectory 33, each of the second contraction trajectory 34 and the confluence trajectory 31 only allows one projectile 1 to pass through.

[0039] See Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 In this embodiment, the partition unit 3 includes a unit that defines two half-chambers 35 with the main casing 21 of the casing 2 (see...). Figure 4 The system comprises a partition plate 36, two partition ribs 37 that block the space between the partition plate 36 and the main housing 21 and divide each half-chamber 35 into two storage trajectories 32, and four guide rib groups 38. Each guide rib group 38 is formed by at least one of the main housing 21 and the partition plate 36 extending along the front-rear direction Y and composed of a plurality of ribs arranged along the length direction Z. Every two guide rib groups 38 are spaced apart from the partition ribs 37 along the width direction X, blocking the space between the partition plate 36 and the main housing 21, and defining two first contraction trajectories 33 and one second contraction trajectories 34 with the corresponding partition ribs 37.

[0040] The projectile pushing unit 4 is mounted on the magazine 2 and includes four projectile pushing members 41 and four elastic elements 42. Each of the projectile pushing members 41 is adapted to push the projectile 1. Each of the elastic elements 42 is disposed between its respective projectile pushing member 41 and the magazine 2, and constantly generates an elastic force that moves its respective projectile pushing member 41 toward the projectile outlet 211.

[0041] See Figure 1 and Figure 3When the magazine sleeve 23 is connected to the main magazine body 21, each of the projectile pushers 41 moves in its respective storage trajectory 32, and each of the elastic elements 42 is disposed between its respective projectile pusher 41 and the stop surface 235 of the magazine sleeve 23. Thus, the projectile pusher 41, under the elastic force of the elastic element 42, pushes the projectile 1 towards the ejection port 211. At this time, the eight rows of projectiles 1 originally arranged in the storage trajectory 32 will... Figures 4-8 As shown, the projectiles enter the first contraction trajectory 33 from the storage trajectory 32, and are contracted into four rows of projectiles 1. Then, they enter the second contraction trajectory 34 from the first contraction trajectory 33, and are contracted into two rows of projectiles 1. Next, they enter the confluence trajectory 31 from the second contraction trajectory 34, and are contracted into one row of projectiles 1. Finally, as shown... Figure 3 As shown, the projectiles 1 are output one by one through the exit port 211 by the converging trajectory 31.

[0042] See Figure 1 and Figure 3 It is worth noting that when installing the sleeve 23, simply pushing the sleeve 23 towards the main casing 21 along the width direction X allows the main casing 21 to pass through the second interface 231 of the sleeve 23, until the second hook 233 engages with the groove 215 and the second mating groove 234 engages with the protrusion 214, allowing the sleeve 23 to be fitted onto the main casing 21 via the second sleeve portion 232. Similarly, applying force to the sleeve 23 in a direction away from the main casing 21 causes the second hook 233 and the second mating groove 234 to disengage from the groove 215 and the protrusion 214, allowing the sleeve 23 to be detached from the main casing 21.

[0043] See Figure 1 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 When the expanded cartridge case 22 is connected to the main cartridge case 21, each expanded trajectory 225 is connected to its respective storage trajectory 32, and each pusher 41 moves between its respective expanded trajectory 225 and its respective storage trajectory 32. Each elastic element 42 is disposed between its respective pusher 41 and the expanded cartridge case 22. Thus, when the pusher 41 is pushed by the elastic force of the elastic element 42, propelling the projectile 1 toward the exit port 211, the projectile enters the confluence trajectory 31 via the expanded trajectory 225, the storage trajectory 32, the first contraction trajectory 33, and the second contraction trajectory 34, and then passes through the exit port 211 one by one.

[0044] It is worth noting that the pusher 41 and the elastic element 42 can be automatically dropped from the storage trajectory 32 to the expanded trajectory 225 when the expanded cartridge 22 is connected to the main cartridge 21, or when the cartridge sleeve 23 is removed, the pusher 41 and the elastic element 42 are first taken out of the main cartridge 21 and then placed into the expanded trajectory 225 of the expanded cartridge 22.

[0045] Furthermore, when installing the expansion housing 22, it is simply necessary to push the expansion housing 22 toward the main housing 21 along the front-rear direction Y. This allows the main housing 21 to pass through the first interface 221 of the expansion housing 22, until the first hook 223 engages with the groove 215 and the first mating groove 224 engages with the protrusion 214. This allows the expansion housing 22 to be fitted onto the main housing 21 via the first sleeve portion 222. Similarly, by applying force to the expansion housing 22 in a direction away from the main housing 21, causing the first hook 223 and the first mating groove 224 to disengage from the groove 215 and the protrusion 214, the expansion housing 22 can be detached from the main housing 21.

[0046] It should be noted that the number of the storage ballistics 32 and the extended ballistics 225 is not limited to four. In other variations of this embodiment, there may be two, three, or five or more, and this is not a limitation.

[0047] Based on the above explanation, the advantages of the aforementioned embodiments can be summarized as follows:

[0048] 1. The present invention has multiple storage trajectories 32, each of which can accommodate two rows of projectiles 1, thereby significantly increasing the number of projectiles 1 that can be accommodated.

[0049] 2. Each of the aforementioned storage ballistics 32 is equipped with its own pusher 41 and its own elastic element 42, which can automatically push the projectile 1. Before the last projectile 1 that can be fired is exhausted, there is no need to refill the projectile 1, which can greatly reduce the number of times the projectile 1 needs to be refilled.

[0050] 3. Importantly, through the design of the first shrinking trajectory 33 and the second shrinking trajectory 34, the 8 rows of projectiles 1 can be reduced to 4 rows of projectiles 1, then reduced to 2 rows of projectiles 1, and finally converged into 1 row of projectiles 1. In this way, the number of projectiles 1 will be gradually reduced from multiple rows and multiple projectiles to one row and one projectile. In addition to diverting the projectiles 1, it can also prevent the projectiles 1 from pushing each other, thereby improving the smoothness of the output of the projectiles 1.

[0051] 4. In addition, through the design of the expanded cartridge 22 and the movable pusher unit 4, the main cartridge 21 can be selectively connected to the cartridge sleeve 23 or the expanded cartridge 22, which can not only increase the capacity of the projectile 1 and reduce the number of times the projectile 1 is filled, but also improve portability, thereby meeting different usage needs.

[0052] The above description is merely an embodiment of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. Any simple equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the claims and description of the present invention shall still fall within the scope of the present invention.
