[0009] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the components described in the following embodiment are merely examples, and are not intended to limit the technical scope of the present invention.

[0010] [First embodiment] A toy gun 100 according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0011] FIG. 1 is an external perspective view of a toy gun 100 as seen from diagonally above to the right. As shown in FIG. 1, the toy gun 100 includes a compensator 101 as an example of an attachment and a gun body 102. The compensator 101 is detachably provided on the front part of the gun body 102. The compensator is also called a muzzle brake, and is a part with a shape of a cylinder or a box with holes on the side, which is attached to the muzzle of a real gun for the purpose of reducing the recoil of the gun when fired. It is also called a "muzzle brake" or "gun recoil brake". In the following explanation, the muzzle direction will be referred to as the front, and the opposite direction will be referred to as the rear. Fig. 2 is a left side view showing a state in which compensator 101 has been detached from toy gun body 102. By detaching compensator 101, it becomes possible to access mechanisms such as a hop adjustment unit (not shown) of gun body 102.

[0012] 3 is a perspective view of toy gun 100 as viewed from below. Lock part 301 is provided between rear end surface 311 of compensator 101 and trigger guard 303. Lock part 301 is provided on the side of trigger guard 303 in gun body 102. The state in FIG. 3 is a locked state, in which compensator 101 cannot be moved forward and compensator 101 cannot be detached from toy gun body 102. By providing lock part 301 in a shaded portion that is not easily noticeable in appearance, the aesthetics of toy gun 100 as a whole is improved.

[0013] A claw can be inserted into the small gap (indicated by an arrow) between the rear end surface of this locking part 301 and compensator 101, and locking part 301 can be slid rearward as shown in Fig. 4. A mark 401 is provided on the rear end of locking part 301 to make it easy to see that it has been pulled out. Fig. 4 shows the unlocked state, and if compensator 101 is pulled forward in this state, compensator 101 moves forward and is detached from toy gun body 102.

[0014] FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view showing the internal configuration of toy gun 100 in the locked state. For ease of understanding, lock part 301 is shown in bold lines to show its outline rather than its cross section. Lock part 301 has an elongated shape in the front-to-rear direction inside compensator 101. Front end 311 of lock part 301 has a flat plate shape, and in the locked state, it fits under claw portion 511 at the rear end of lever 501. For ease of understanding, lever 501 is also shown in bold lines to show its outline rather than its cross section. The upper surface of claw portion 511 has inclined surfaces on the front and rear, and claw portion 511 has a cross-sectional shape resembling Mount Fuji.

[0015] The lever 501 has a pivot shaft 512 on the front side, and the pivot shaft 512 is inserted into a recess provided in the frame of the compensator 101. The lever 501 pivots (or swings) vertically around the pivot shaft 512 provided in the front side of the compensator 101. This allows a claw portion 511 provided at the rear end of the lever 501 to reciprocate up and down. A spring 502 is engaged with the center of the lever 501, and the lever 501 receives an upward biasing force from the spring 502. In other words, the claw portion 511 is located upward unless any force is applied. In the locked state, the front end portion 311 of the lock part 301 is inserted under the tip portion 513 of the claw portion 511 of the lever 501, so that the claw portion 511 is sandwiched between the lower surface of the frame 521 of the gun body 102 and the upper surface of the front end portion 311, and the lever 501 cannot swing downward. That is, lock part 301 prevents lever 501 from being pressed down. Because lever 501 is sandwiched between the lower surface of frame 521 of gun body 102 and the upper surface of front end portion 311, compensator 101 is fixed to gun body 102 without any backlash. That is, lock part 301 slides between a position where lever 501 as a movable member is sandwiched and fixed between frame 521 and a position where lever 501 is released to make it movable.

[0016] The frame 521 of the gun body 102 is provided with a restricting member 522 for restricting the forward and backward movement of the locking part 301. The locking part 301 is provided with a click pin and a spring (not shown), and is configured to hold the locking part 301 in both the forward-most position and the rearmost position. This makes it possible to prevent the locking part 301 from sliding at an unintended timing.

[0017] That is, frame 521 functions as a fixed engagement part provided on gun body 102. On the other hand, lever 501 is provided extending from the front of compensator 101 toward gun body 102, is movable up and down, and functions as a movable engagement part that engages with the fixed engagement part to prevent compensator 101 from being detached. Movement of lever 501 as a movable engagement part releases engagement with frame 521 as a fixed engagement part, allowing compensator 101 to be detached. Note that a movable engagement part such as a lever may be provided on the gun body side and engaged with a fixed engagement part provided on the compensator side.

[0018] Fig. 6 is a cross-sectional view showing the internal structure of toy gun 100 in an unlocked state. As with Fig. 5, lock part 301 and lever 501 are shown by thick lines instead of cross-sections for ease of understanding. In the unlocked state, front end 311 is released from under claw 511 provided at the rear end of lever 501, and claw 511 becomes rotatable downward about pivot 512 against the upward biasing force of spring 502.

[0019] FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which the compensator 101 is slightly pulled out in the unlocked state. When the compensator 101 is slid forward with the lock part 301 pulled out rearward, the rear inclined surface of the frame 521 on the front side of the gun body 102 urges the front inclined surface of the claw portion 511 of the lever 501 downward. As a result, the lever 501 rotates counterclockwise in the figure around the rotation shaft 512 while compressing the spring 502. As a result, the claw portion 511 can slip through a gap provided below the frame 521, and the compensator 101 can be pulled out by about 1 cm as shown in FIG. 8. From the state shown in FIG. 8, the compensator 101 can be removed from the gun body 102 by moving the compensator 101 downward. Conversely, if compensator 101 is pushed backward from the state in Fig. 8, the rear inclined surface of claw portion 511 comes into contact with frame 521 of gun body 102, lever 501 rotates counterclockwise in the figure, and claw portion 511 moves downward. This allows claw portion 511 to slip through a gap provided below frame 521, allowing smooth return to the state in Fig. 7 and the state in Fig. 6.

[0020] Fig. 9 is a perspective view seen from the upper left, showing a state in which compensator 101 has been slid downward from the state in Fig. 8. Two protrusions 921, 922 are provided on the left side surface of gun body 102 (the surface that engages with compensator 101). Two protrusions (not shown) are also provided on the right side surface of gun body 102 at symmetrical positions.

[0021] Meanwhile, L-shaped recesses 911-914 are provided on the inner wall of compensator 101 and open upward. A total of four protrusions including two protrusions 921, 922 of the gun body are inserted into the openings of the recesses 911-914. Thereafter, compensator 101 slides rearward with the four protrusions housed in the four recesses, so that the four protrusions fit securely into the front sides of L-shaped recesses 911-914, and compensator 101 engages with gun body 102 on the side as well.

[0022] The above-mentioned four convex portions and four concave portions guide the sliding of the compensator 101 and prevent the compensator 101 from unintentionally falling off. Furthermore, the compensator 101 is prevented from moving downward.

[0023] As described above, according to this embodiment, the compensator can be easily attached and detached without tools. Furthermore, since there is no screw for fastening the compensator on the exterior, a toy gun with a very excellent design can be provided. The design of the compensator 101 is not limited to that shown in this embodiment. The movement of the lever 501 is not limited to rotation about the rotation axis, and may move up and down in parallel. It is also possible to move the claw portion 511 downward, left, or right to hook it, without being limited to moving it upward. As shown in FIG. 10, in a toy gun 1000 as a modification of the above embodiment, the tip portion 1011 of the lever 501 may be designed to be rounded.

[0024] [Second embodiment] Next, a toy gun 1100 according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 11. Fig. 11 is a diagram for explaining a compensator 1101 of a toy gun according to this embodiment. The toy gun 1100 according to this embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that the recesses 1111, 1112 provided in the compensator 1101 have a straight groove shape. Other configurations and operations are similar to those of the first embodiment, so the same configurations and operations are denoted by the same reference numerals and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0025] According to this embodiment, the compensator 1101 can be easily detached from the gun body 102 simply by sliding the lock part 301 rearward and pulling the compensator 1101 forward.

[0026] [Third embodiment] Next, a toy gun 1200 according to a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 12. Fig. 12 is a diagram for explaining the toy gun 1200 according to this embodiment. The toy gun 1200 according to this embodiment differs from the above-described first embodiment in that a lock part 1231 pushes downward a claw part 1213 at the rear end of a lever 1211 provided on a compensator 1201 to release the lock. Other configurations and operations are similar to those of the first embodiment, so the same configurations and operations are denoted by the same reference numerals and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0027] An upwardly springing inclined portion 1232 is provided at the front end of the lock part 1231. When the lock part 1231 is pushed forward against the biasing force of the spring 1233, the inclined portion 1232 presses the rear inclined surface of the claw portion 1213, and the claw portion 1213 rotates downward about the rotation shaft 1212 against the upward biasing force of the spring 1252. This disengages the frame 521 from the claw portion 1213, and the compensator 1201 is unlocked. Unlike the first embodiment, the lever is not sandwiched between the lock part 1231 and the frame 521 from above and below, so a rattle prevention mechanism (not shown) is separately provided to suppress rattle of the compensator 1201. The inner wall of compensator 1201 is provided with recesses 911-914, similar to compensator 101 shown in FIG. 9, which fit into four protrusions on the gun body, similar to FIG.

[0028] According to this embodiment, the compensator can be easily attached and detached without using any tools. Furthermore, since there are no fastening screws for the compensator on the exterior, a toy gun with an excellent design can be provided.

[0029] [Fourth embodiment] Next, a toy gun 1300 according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 13. Fig. 13 is a diagram for explaining the toy gun 1300 according to this embodiment. The toy gun 1300 according to this embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that a compensator 1301 is slid backward and then released downward. Other configurations and operations are similar to those of the first embodiment, so the same configurations and operations are denoted by the same reference numerals and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0030] As shown in Figure 13, before the compensator 1301 is removed from the gun body 1302, the slide stop 1303 is pulled out and the slide 1321 is moved backward. The tip of the removed slide stop 1303 or a rod-shaped tool can be used to access the gap (indicated by the arrow) that is created at this time.

[0031] As shown in Fig. 14, recesses 1411-1414 provided on the inner wall surface of the compensator 1301 are L-shaped in the opposite direction to the recesses 911-914 shown in Fig. 9. In other words, they are grooves extending rearward from an opening. The four protrusions (including protrusions 1421 and 1422) provided on the left and right sides of the gun body 1302 are inserted into the recesses 1411-1414, and the compensator 1301 is locked by moving the compensator 1301 slightly forward. Conversely, the compensator 1301 is detached from the gun body 1302 by sliding it downward while pushing it slightly rearward.

[0032] FIG. 15 is a cross-sectional view showing the internal structure of the toy gun 1300 in the locked state. There is a lever 1511, but no locking part, and the lever 1511 rotates against the upward biasing force of a spring 1513 as in the first embodiment, but does not have a claw portion. The state in FIG. 15 in which the rear end of the lever 1511 is positioned upward is the locked state, and the rear end of the lever 1511 hits against a frame 1514 on the gun body side, so that the compensator 1501 cannot move backward. If the compensator 1501 cannot move backward, the convex portions 1421 and 1422 cannot be released from the concave portions 1411 to 1414 as shown in FIG. 14, and the locked state is established.

[0033] As shown by the arrow in Fig. 16, when the lever 1511 is accessed from the gap between the gun body 1302 and the compensator 1301 created by moving the slide 1321 backward and the rear end portion is pushed downward, the rear end of the lever 1511 is released from the abutment between the frame 1514 on the gun body side. Therefore, as shown in Fig. 17, it becomes possible to push the compensator 1301 backward, and then the compensator 1301 can be removed downward.

[0034] According to this embodiment, since there is no lock part, the structure can be simplified.

[0035] [Fifth embodiment] Next, a toy gun 1800 according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 18. The toy gun 1800 according to this embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that a lever 1801 is placed horizontally and rotated left and right.
