Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rubber band guns, and in particular to a novel rubber band gun. Background Technology

[0002] A rubber band gun is a toy gun that fires rubber bands. The existing patent number is 201921044375.2, entitled "A Rubber Band Gun," which is a highly playable, continuously firing rubber band gun. However, it has the following shortcomings during use: 1. There is a gap between the upper sleeve and the lower stock of the gun, affecting its appearance and user experience; 2. The structure and layout of components such as the tail gear are not reasonable enough, easily causing abnormalities such as the sleeve lifting up and jamming during use.

[0003] Specifically, 1. When using or appreciating this gun, viewers usually focus their attention on the side of the gun body. However, when observing the side of the gun, the gap between the upper slide and the lower stock body is very obvious, allowing light to pass through directly, affecting the visual appeal. At the same time, due to the large gap, small foreign objects (such as pieces of paper, pins, etc.) can easily enter the gun body through the gap, causing damage to internal parts; 2. In the aforementioned prior art rubber band gun, the gear at the tail is positioned relatively high. After the rubber band is loaded, the gear is locked by the gear pad at the lower part. Therefore, the force of the rubber band is entirely applied to the gear and gear pad. The gear exerts downward pressure on the gear pad, causing the tail of the slide to tilt upward, which greatly diminishes the visual appeal. At the same time, because the force of the rubber band is not parallel to the slide groove, the slide can easily get stuck during the back and forth movement, forming a jam. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a new type of rubber band gun, thereby solving the aforementioned problems existing in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A novel rubber band gun includes a gun body assembly and a sleeve assembly. The sleeve assembly and the gun body assembly are slidably connected via a slide rail and a slide groove, with the lower edge of the sleeve extending downwards beyond the upper edge of the gun body. A trigger wrench assembly is disposed within the gun body. The trigger wrench assembly mainly consists of a trigger wrench, a lever, and a lever elastic element. The lever is disposed on the trigger wrench, and the lever elastic element provides power for the lever's reset. A power component and a locking component are disposed within the sleeve. The power component slides back and forth via a power component slide groove provided on the inner side wall of the sleeve. One end of the power component is connected to the power component elastic element, and the other end of the power component elastic element is connected to the sleeve. The locking component is pivotally disposed within the sleeve via a pin. The sleeve also contains... The device includes a gear assembly comprising a gear, a gear catch, and a swinging member. The gear catch and the swinging member are pivotally mounted within the sleeve via pins. The gear is rotatably mounted at the tail of the sleeve via a pin. The gear catch and the swinging member cooperate to lock or unlock the gear. The catch tip of the gear catch abuts against the upper teeth of the gear to lock it. The gun body also includes a locking member limiting part for limiting the locking member, a swinging member limiting part for limiting the swinging member, and a lever limiting part for limiting the lever. In the initial state, the lever abuts against the power component. When the trigger is pulled, the trigger lever drives the power component to move backward via the lever.

[0007] Preferably, the locking member and the sleeve are further connected by a locking member elastic element, which provides power for the locking member to reset.

[0008] Preferably, the gun body is further provided with a sleeve left limiting part for limiting the sleeve. The sleeve is provided with a pin for attaching the elastic element of the power component. When the sleeve moves to the left stop point, the pin contacts the sleeve left limiting part to limit the sleeve.

[0009] Preferably, the sleeve is mainly composed of a sleeve body and a sleeve cover plate, and a slide rail is provided on the inner side of both the sleeve body and the sleeve cover plate; the gun body is mainly composed of a gun body body and a gun body cover plate, and a slide groove corresponding to the slide rail is provided on the outer side of both the gun body body and the gun body cover plate.

[0010] Preferably, when the paddle spring is a push spring, the push spring is located below the paddle to provide power for the paddle to reset, and an elastic component for resetting the trigger is provided between the trigger lever and the gun body.

[0011] When the lever elastic element is a tension spring, one end of the tension spring is connected to the gun body, and the other end of the tension spring pulls on one end of the lever, providing power for the reset of the lever, and also providing power for the reset of the trigger wrench.

[0012] Preferably, the swing member is located at the lower left of the gear catch and abuts against the gear catch; in the initial state, the swing member abuts against the gear catch, thereby fixing the gear catch and stably locking the gear. When the swing member moves backward with the sleeve to contact the swing member limiting part, it continues to move backward to make the swing member swing, thereby driving the gear catch to swing in the opposite direction, thereby releasing the current tooth of the gear, and the gear rotates one tooth; an elastic component for resetting the gear catch is provided between the gear catch and the sleeve.

[0013] Preferably, the front end of the sleeve is provided with a groove for mounting rubber bands; during the rotation of the gear, each tooth can be sequentially exposed outside the sleeve to load rubber bands; the pin position of the gear clamp is higher than the pin position of the gear; the front end of the rubber band gun is provided with a barrel.

[0014] Preferably, the sleeve is further provided with a sleeve elastic element, one end of which is connected to the sleeve and the other end is connected to the gun body.

Detailed Implementation

[0039] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model.

[0040] As attached Figure 1-3 As shown, there is a large gap between the sleeve and the gun body in the existing technical solution.

[0041] This invention improves upon existing technical solutions, achieving the basic functions of continuous fire without reloading and enhanced recoil, while simultaneously solving problems such as excessive gap between the slide and the gun body and the tendency for the gun to lift during use.

[0042] This utility model discloses a novel rubber band gun, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 4-18As shown, the device includes a receiver assembly and a sleeve assembly. The sleeve assembly and receiver assembly are slidably connected via a slide rail and a slide groove, with the lower edge of the sleeve extending downwards beyond the upper edge of the receiver. A trigger wrench assembly is located inside the receiver. This assembly mainly consists of a trigger wrench, a paddle, and a paddle spring. The paddle is mounted on the trigger wrench, and the paddle spring provides power for its reset. A power component and a locking component are located inside the sleeve. The power component slides back and forth via a power component groove on the inner wall of the sleeve. One end of the power component is connected to the power component spring, and the other end is connected to the sleeve. The locking component is pivotally mounted inside the sleeve via a pin. A gear assembly is also located inside the sleeve. This assembly includes a gear, a gear catch, and a pivoting component. The gear catch and the pivoting component are pivotally mounted via pins. Inside the sleeve, the gear is rotatably mounted at the tail of the sleeve via a pin. During rotation, each tooth of the gear can be sequentially exposed outside the sleeve to load a rubber band. The gear catch and the swinging member cooperate to lock or unlock the gear. The pin of the gear catch is positioned higher than the pin of the gear, and the catch tip of the gear catch abuts against the upper teeth of the gear to lock the gear. The gun body is also provided with a locking member limiting part for limiting the locking member, a swinging member limiting part for limiting the swinging member, and a lever limiting part for limiting the lever. In the initial state (i.e., the state where the trigger is not pulled), the lever abuts against the power member. When the trigger is pulled, the trigger lever drives the power member to move backward via the lever. The sleeve is also provided with a sleeve elastic member (sleeve spring), one end of which is connected to the sleeve and the other end is connected to the gun body. The locking member and the sleeve are connected by a locking member elastic element (locking member spring), which provides auxiliary or full power for the reset of the locking member. The gun body also has a sleeve left-side limiting part for limiting the sleeve's position. The sleeve has a pin for engaging the power element elastic element; when the sleeve moves to the left stop point, the pin contacts the sleeve left-side limiting part, limiting the sleeve's position. The sleeve mainly consists of a sleeve body and a sleeve cover plate, with slide rails provided on the inner sides of both the sleeve body and the sleeve cover plate. The gun body mainly consists of a gun body body and a gun body cover plate, with slide grooves corresponding to the slide rails provided on the outer sides of both the gun body body and the gun body cover plate.When the paddle spring is a push spring, it is located below the paddle and provides power for the paddle to reset. At the same time, an elastic component (trigger spring) is provided between the trigger lever and the gun body to reset the trigger lever. When the paddle spring is a tension spring, one end of the tension spring is connected to the gun body, and the other end of the tension spring pulls on one end of the paddle, providing power for the paddle to reset and also providing power for the trigger lever to reset. The swinging component is located at the lower left of the gear catch and abuts against the gear catch. In the initial state (without pulling the trigger and with a rubber band loaded), the swinging component abuts against the gear catch, thus fixing the gear catch in place and stably locking the gear. When the swinging component moves backward with the sleeve until it contacts the swinging component limit part, it continues to move backward, causing the swinging component to swing, thereby driving the gear catch to swing in the opposite direction, releasing the current tooth of the gear, and the gear rotates one tooth. An elastic component is provided between the gear catch and the sleeve for resetting the gear catch. The front end of the sleeve is provided with a groove for hanging rubber bands. During the rotation of the gear, each tooth can be exposed to the outside of the sleeve in sequence to load rubber bands. The pin position of the gear catch is higher than the pin position of the gear. The front end of the rubber band gun is provided with a barrel (the barrel is mainly for decoration). The locking element is a locking spring, which is positioned above the swing end of the locking element, or one end of the locking spring is connected to the other end of the locking element (the end opposite to the swing end), and the other end of the locking spring is connected to the gun body. When the scheme of connecting one end of the locking spring to the other end of the locking element (the end opposite to the swing end) and the other end of the locking spring to the gun body is selected, the locking spring can also perform the function of the sleeve spring, thus eliminating the need for a separate sleeve spring.

[0043] As attached Figure 19 As shown, this utility model also discloses another embodiment, in which most of the structures are similar to those in the attached diagram. Figure 4 The illustrated embodiment is the same, except that the locking spring and the paddle spring are changed. The locking spring is changed from being located above the swing end of the locking member to being located at the other end of the locking member (opposite to the swing end), with one end of the locking spring connected to the locking member and the other end connected to the gun body. After the locking member is lifted by the power component, the locking spring can assist the locking member in falling back to its original position after the sleeve and the power component return to their original positions. With this modification, the locking spring also has the function of pulling the sleeve, thus eliminating the need for an additional spring. Figure 4 The sleeve spring in the middle. In this embodiment, the push spring below the swing end of the paddle is replaced with a tension spring connected to the other end of the paddle. The other end of the tension spring is connected to the gun body. When the trigger lever is reset, the tension spring can pull the paddle to swing counterclockwise to reset it.

[0044] For details on the working principle of this utility model, please refer to the appendix. Figure 4 , attached Figure 4 The demonstration shows the initial unloaded state without any rubber bands. In this state, the user can stretch the ring-shaped rubber band into a long strip, hooking one end onto the groove at the front of the sleeve and the other end onto the exposed tooth of the gear. To load multiple rubber bands, rotate the gear clockwise by one tooth, exposing the previous tooth. Then, repeat the process, hooking one end of the second rubber band onto the groove at the front of the sleeve and the other end onto the currently exposed tooth. This process can be repeated until the entire gear is loaded. Whether one or multiple rubber bands are loaded onto the gear, it will generate a counter-clockwise rotational force. The combined action of the oscillating component and the gear locking mechanism prevents this counter-clockwise rotation, thus placing the rubber band gun in its initial loaded and ready-to-fire state.

[0045] The process of automatic loading and firing is as follows: When the user pulls the trigger, the trigger lever, through a lever that abuts against the power component, moves the power component backward, causing the power component spring to stretch and store power. Simultaneously, the locking element, by resisting its limiting part, prevents the slide from moving backward. As the trigger lever continues to move backward, it moves the power component backward synchronously until the power component lifts the locking element, unlocking the slide. Under the action of the power component spring, the slide moves backward rapidly, causing the swinging element to move backward synchronously. The lower end of the swinging element impacts the swinging element limiting part on the gun body, causing the swinging element to swing clockwise. The swinging element drives the gear catch to swing counterclockwise, releasing the current tooth of the gear. Under the force of the rubber band, the gear rotates counterclockwise by one tooth, releasing one rubber band. During the rapid backward movement, the slide impacts the gun body, generating recoil and sound. When the lever moves the power component to its final position, the lever contacts the lever limiting part, causing the lever to swing clockwise, releasing the power component. Under the combined action of the power component spring and the sleeve spring, both the sleeve and the power component move forward and return to their original positions. Simultaneously, the forward movement of the sleeve causes the swinging component to disengage from its limiting part. Under the action of the gear locking spring, the gear locking component swings clockwise to return to its original position and locks the next tooth of the gear. The gear locking component simultaneously drives the swinging component to swing counterclockwise to its original position. The locking component returns to its original position under the action of the locking spring (the locking spring can also be omitted, and the locking component can return to its original position by gravity alone). After completing the above process of launching the rubber band and resetting each component, the user releases the trigger. Under the action of the trigger spring, the trigger moves forward to its original position, simultaneously driving the paddle forward. When it reaches below the power component, the paddle swings counterclockwise under the action of the paddle spring to complete its reset, awaiting the user to pull the trigger again. When the user pulls the trigger again, the above actions will be repeated, thus achieving automatic loading and firing. That is, continuous firing is achieved by simply pulling the trigger repeatedly, while also producing realistic recoil and sound.

[0046] Because the lower edge of the sleeve extends beyond the upper edge of the gun body, the sleeve and the gun body partially overlap, thus overcoming the problem of a large, light-transmitting gap between the sleeve and the gun body in existing technologies. This also eliminates the problem of foreign objects easily falling into the gap and damaging internal components. In this invention, the gear catch engages the gear in front of the gear's force-applying teeth to counteract the tension generated by the rubber band. The line connecting the catch tip (the tip in contact with the gear) and the point of force applied to the sleeve (the pin of the gear catch) is essentially parallel to the rubber band, preventing the sleeve from warping and thus avoiding jamming.

[0047] It should also be noted that all springs in this utility model can be replaced by elastic components with similar functions.

[0048] Appendix Figure 4 The spring on the locking element can be replaced with a set of magnets with opposite poles. One magnet is installed on the upper side of the locking element, and the other magnet is installed at a corresponding position on the inner side wall of the sleeve. Any adjustments that do not depart from the principle of this utility model should be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0049] By adopting the above-disclosed technical solution of this utility model, the following beneficial effects are obtained:

[0050] This utility model's novel rubber band gun redesigns the connection and assembly method between the sleeve and the main body, eliminating any light-transmitting gaps between them and preventing foreign objects from falling in and damaging the internal components. Furthermore, the rubber band gun's redesigned gear and component layout and working principle prevent the rubber band from lifting up after loading, resulting in smoother firing and a significantly improved user experience.

[0051] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
