[0030] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENT MODES

[0031] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, in the present invention, a toy gun 1 comprises a barrel part 11 and a gas valve base 12 arranged inside the barrel part 11, and a gas cartridge replacement structure mainly comprises:

[0032] a thrust support 2, which is arranged movably inside the barrel-forming part 11 and which is in communication with the gas valve-forming base 12;

[0033] an opening 21 of the support, which is formed in the thrust support 2;

[0034] a gas cartridge support 3, which is arranged inside the thrust support 2 and is detachable from it through the opening 21 of the support and which receives a pressurized gas cartridge 4 inside it, the gas cartridge support 3 comprising a gas cartridge part 31 and an outlet part 32;

[0035] a magnetic attraction support part 5, which is arranged at a rear end of the gas cartridge part 31 of the gas cartridge support 3; a magnetic element 6, which is movably arranged inside the thrust support 2 and is magnetically connected to the magnetic attraction part 5 of the support; and an elastic element 7, the elastic element 7 having one end fixed inside the thrust support 2 and an opposite end butting and bearing against one side of the magnetic element 6 opposite the cartridge support 3.

[0036] A large toy weapon 1, such as a rifle, submachine gun, sniper rifle, or shotgun, is used as an example to illustrate toy weapon 1. The gas valve base 12 serves to supply pressurized gas to components involved in firing bullets and to establish communication between the thrust support 2, the gas outlet portion 32 of the gas cartridge holder 3, and the pressurized gas cartridge 4. In this embodiment, the magnetic attraction portion 5 of the cartridge holder is a metal cap that is attracted by the magnetic element 6 to close the gas cartridge portion 31. The elastic element 7 is a compression spring.However, the configurations / structures of the components listed above are provided as examples of a preferred embodiment, and any other configuration / structure having similar functions is considered to fall within the scope of the present invention, and not only limited to the examples listed above.

[0037] As shown in Figures 1 to 5, the present invention proposes an arrangement that uses magnetic attraction to hold and fix the gas cartridge support 3 inside the thrust support 2. The magnetic element 6 is disposed inside the thrust support 2 to attract and retain the magnetic attraction portion 5 of the support at one end of the gas cartridge support 3 in position. The elastic element 7 is arranged on one side of the magnetic element 6 opposite the gas cartridge support 3 so as to use the spring force of the latter to firmly support the magnetic element 6, thus ensuring that the magnetic element 6 is securely fixed to the magnetic attraction portion 5 of the support, and attracts it. This, together with a wall of the thrust support 2, fixes the cartridge support 3. gas inside the thrust support 2, which simplifies the structural arrangement and combination of the gas cartridge support 3 and the thrust support 2, and the arrangement of the opening of the thrust support 21 is used to facilitate its removal for replacement.

[0038] To replace the pressurized gas cartridge 4, a user only needs to move, by pulling, the push support 2 by means of the barrel-forming part 11 to expose the opening 21 of the cartridge support outside the toy gun 1, so that the gas cartridge support 3 can be pushed inwards and the magnetic element 6 is caused to compress the elastic element 7 to allow the gas cartridge support 3 to move towards the opening 21 of the support, and the user is thus able to grasp, with bare hands, the gas cartridge support 3 through the opening 21 of the support, thus separating or detaching the gas cartridge support 3 from the magnetic element 6.Next, the magnetic attraction part 5 of the support is rotated so as to detach from the gas cartridge part 31 to allow easy replacement of the pressurized gas cartridge 4 inside it, which allows for easy and efficient replacement of the pressurized gas cartridge 4.

[0039] As shown in [Fig.6], a difference in the embodiment concerned is that the gas cartridge support 3 comprises a gas cartridge part 31, a gas outlet part 32 arranged at a front end of the gas cartridge part 31, and a closure element 33 arranged, in a screwed manner, at a rear end of the gas cartridge part 31, and the magnetic attraction part 5 of the support is mounted outside the closure element 33, and the magnetic element 6 comprises a main body part 61, a magnetic attraction hollow 611 formed in a front end of the main body part 61, and a magnetic attraction part 62 arranged in the magnetic attraction hollow 611. Based on the structure described above, a magnetic attraction structure between the gas cartridge support 3 and the magnetic element 6 is arranged in a configuration separable from the main body.For example, the magnetic attraction support part 5 is removably fixed, by force insertion, to an end wall 33 of the closure element, and the magnetic attraction part 62 is removably mounted, by force insertion, in the magnetic attraction recess 611. This means that the magnetic attraction support part 5 is further mounted outside the closure element 33, and the magnetic attraction part 62 is further mounted in the magnetic attraction recess 611. In this way, the gas cartridge part 31 and the main body part 61 can be made of materials that are stronger or less expensive and do not exhibit magnetism, thus increasing flexibility in material selection. The ease of combination between the gas cartridge support 3 and the push support 2 is maintained.

[0040] As shown in [Fig. 7], a difference in the embodiment concerned is that the push support 2 has a withdrawal assist portion 211 arranged on one side of the opening 21 of the support, and that a length of the opening 21 of the support is less than a length of the gas cartridge support 3. In the present embodiment, the withdrawal assist portion 211 is a curved notch formed on one side of the opening 21 of the support located away from the magnetic element 6.To remove the cartridge holder 3, the user moves the gas cartridge holder 3 in a similar manner to compress the elastic element 7 so as to expose one end of the gas cartridge holder 3 associated with the gas outlet part 32 in the opening 21 of the holder; a finger can be placed in the removal assistance part 211 to remove the gas cartridge holder 3, and the removal operation is easy and does not require the entire gas cartridge holder 3 to be located within the range of the opening 21 of the holder, so as to be applicable to different sizes of gas cartridge holder 3 and of the pressurized gas cartridge 4.

[0041] As shown in Figures 8 to 10, one difference in the embodiment concerned is that Toy Flour 1 includes a gun barrel cover 14 for closing and covering the opening 21 of the support. In the present embodiment, the gun barrel cover 14 is pivotally mounted on one side of the opening 21 of the support. Based on the difference in the types of Parma-toy 1, in the case where Parma-toy 1 is provided with an opening 13 to imitate an ejection port, the barrel cover 14 of the weapon can be arranged on one side of the opening 13, so that the barrel cover 14 of the weapon can normally function for dust protection, while to replace the pressurized gas cartridge 4, the user can simply open the barrel cover 14 of the weapon and bring the opening 21 of the thrust support 2 into position,to the opening part 13 of the Parma toy 1 (for some types of toy gun 1, the opening part 13 is normally aligned with the opening 21 of the holder and, in such a case, it is not necessary to move the pusher holder 2, to allow the gas cartridge holder 3 to be easily extracted or removed through the opening 21 of the holder and the opening part 13, so that it is not necessary to remove the entire gas cartridge holder 3 or reduce a range of movement of the gas cartridge holder 3, thus further simplifying the operation of replacing the pressurized gas cartridge 4.

[0042] As shown in [Fig. 1 1], which provides a cross-sectional view of the thrust support 2, the embodiment concerned, which is similar to the previous embodiments, is different in that a positioning element 71 is arranged inside the thrust support 2 to receive the elastic element 7 so that it is inserted onto this element, and a receiving portion 63 is formed in the magnetic element 6 to receive the positioning element 71 and the elastic element 7 within it. The positioning element 71 is an umbrella or pillar structure to receive the elastic element 7 for insertion onto it in order to prevent distortion during compression when an outer diameter of the spring is smaller than an inner diameter of the thrust support 2.The receiving part 63 is in the form of a cavity having an opening in a direction towards the positioning element 71, so that, during the construction of the magnetic element 6, it is possible to simultaneously form the receiving part 63 in the magnetic element 6 so as to receive the positioning element 71 and the elastic element 7. An inner wall of the receiving part 63 can be used to position and constrain the elastic element 7, and a longitudinal space required for the magnetic element 6 and the elastic element 7 (a longitudinal direction being defined as a direction of mobility of the thrust support 2) can be reduced.
