Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "equipped with," "sleeved / connected," "connected," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0021] Example: Reference Figure 1-4The folding rubber band gun shown includes a left side plate 1 and a right side plate 2. Multiple connecting slots 13 are provided on the inner sides of both the left and right side plates 1 and 2. These slots 13 engage with connecting pieces 7 to securely connect the left and right side plates 1 and 2, ensuring the overall integrity of the gun's structure. Multiple connecting pieces 7, adapted to the connecting slots 13, are positioned between the left and right side plates 1 and 2. These connecting pieces 7 are inserted into the connecting slots 13 to enhance the connection strength between the left and right side plates, preventing deformation during use. A bolt trigger 3 is located between the left and right side plates 1 and 2, triggering the firing action. The user releases the rubber band by pulling the trigger. Insertion holes are provided on the inner sides of both the left and right side plates 1 and 2. A pair of staggered cross-shaped insert plates 11 are installed within these holes. These cross-shaped insert plates 11 provide rotational support for the retractable components, allowing the handle plate 15 to rotate around them, enabling folding and unfolding functions. A retractable assembly is provided between the left side plate 1 and the right side plate 2 of the gun body. This retractable assembly includes a handle plate 15 positioned between the two plates. The handle plate 15 serves as the main body of the handle for the user to grip. Its outer side has a trigger groove 16 adapted to the bolt trigger 3, which positions and guides the trigger 3. Handle side plates 12 are provided on both sides of the handle plate 15, increasing grip comfort and stability. The inner side of the handle plate 15 has a through hole adapted to a cross-shaped insert plate 11, allowing the handle plate 15 to rotate around the insert plate, enabling folding or unfolding. The outer side of the handle plate 15 has an unfolding limiting groove 17, which engages with a limiting plate 10 when the handle is unfolded, limiting the unfolding angle and preventing over-unfolding. A folding limiting groove 18 is provided on the outer side of the handle plate 15. When the handle is folded, the folding limiting groove 18 cooperates with the limiting piece 10 to fix the folded state of the handle and prevent accidental unfolding during use. A limiting component is provided between the left side plate 1 and the right side plate 2 of the gun body. The limiting component includes a limiting piece 10 that passes through the left side plate 1 and the right side plate 2 of the gun body. The limiting piece 10 is inserted into the unfolding limiting groove 17 or the folding limiting groove 18 to lock the position of the handle plate 15 and ensure that the handle is in a stable unfolded or folded state. A button pad 9 is provided at the end of the limiting piece 10 near the left side plate 1 of the gun body. The button pad 9 is installed between the button 14 and the left side plate 1 of the gun body to provide a cushioning effect and make the pressing feel of the button 14 more comfortable. A button 14 is provided at one end of the limiting plate 10 near the right side plate 2 of the gun body. The button 14 is used to drive the limiting plate 10 to move. When the user presses the button 14, the limiting plate 10 can be disengaged from the limiting groove, thereby realizing the folding or unfolding operation of the handle. The same bolt elastic band hook 4 is inserted into the outer side of both the left side plate 1 and the right side plate 2 of the gun body. The bolt elastic band hook 4 is used to fix the bolt elastic band 5 and provide an installation position for the elastic band.Both the left side plate 1 and the right side plate 2 of the gun body have bolt elastic band grooves 6 on their inner sides. The bolt elastic band grooves 6 guide and protect the bolt elastic band 5, ensuring that the elastic band maintains a stable trajectory during stretching and release. Both ends of the bolt elastic band hook 4 are provided with the same bolt elastic band 5. The bolt elastic band 5 passes through the bolt elastic band groove 6. When the bolt elastic band 5 is stretched and released, it generates elastic force, providing power for the elastic band gun to fire. A pair of elastic band hook inserts 8 are inserted into the inner side of the left side plate 1 of the gun body. The elastic band hook inserts 8 are used to fix the other end of the elastic band and cooperate with the limiting plate 10 to form a complete elastic structure of the elastic band. The limiting plate 10 and a pair of rubber band hook inserts 8 are wrapped with the same rubber band. The rubber band stores elastic potential energy by being wrapped around the limiting plate 10 and the rubber band hook inserts 8, and releases energy when fired. A pair of cross-shaped insert shafts 11 are respectively set on the outer side of the left side plate 1 and the right side plate 2 of the gun body. The cross-shaped insert shafts 11 are installed on the outer side of the gun body to facilitate the matching with the through hole of the handle plate 15, while ensuring the compactness of the internal structure of the gun body.

[0022] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The main body of the folding rubber band gun consists of a left side plate 1 and a right side plate 2 connected by a connecting piece 7. The bolt trigger 3 is placed in the gap between the left and right side plates. The handle plate 15 is placed between the rear ends of the left and right side plates and connected by a cross-shaped insert 11. The handle side plate 12 is fixed to both sides of the handle plate 15 by the connecting piece 7. The folding button that enables the folding function is located at the top of the handle near the bolt trigger 3. One end of the limiting piece 10 is provided with a button pad 9 and a hook groove. After the rubber band passes through the hook groove, both ends... The rubber band hook insert 8 is fixed to the gun body on both sides of the folding button. When in use, with the folding rubber band gun in the unfolded state, press the button to empty the unfolding limit groove 17 of the handle plate 15, and the handle can rotate freely. When the handle is rotated to the folding limit groove 18, the folding trigger 3 is reset under the action of the rubber band elasticity, and the handle is locked in the folded state. At the same time, the bolt trigger is placed in the trigger groove 16 of the handle plate 15 and is in a safe locked state. If it needs to be unfolded for use, simply press the button and rotate the handle until the folding button automatically resets.

[0023] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
