Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a primer cartridge for holding a bullet loaded into a toy gun, and more particularly, to a highly safe primer cartridge for a toy gun that suppresses the dropping of gunpowder during firing and enables the gunpowder to be reliably ignited to generate a cracking sound like that of a real gun.
Background Art
[0002] Conventionally, a large number of cartridges for toy guns with various devices have been used, and cartridges with a wide variety of structures have been developed and used.
[0003] The cartridge for a toy gun has various structures, such as a structure in which a toy bullet is enclosed inside, or a structure in which only gunpowder is enclosed and the bullet is separated and loaded into the gun. When using gunpowder, since the power of the bullet increases and the possibility of having a killing ability becomes higher, the gunpowder and the bullet are arranged separately, and the gunpowder is used to generate a cracking sound and the smell of gunpowder.
[0004] Such a toy gun using gunpowder requires high safety, such as suppressing the dropping of gunpowder and accidental firing, and it is desirable to have a structure in which the gunpowder is firmly held.
[0005] As a technology related to such a primer cartridge for a toy gun, there is Japanese Patent No. 5167434. Here, it is a technology related to a toy gun with a safe structure in which the gun body and the chamber are blocked, and a structure in which a cartridge without a bullet is loaded into a receiver not connected to the gun body, or a structure in which a partition wall for separating the gun body and the cartridge is provided in the middle between the gun body side and the cartridge side is disclosed. According to this technology, it is possible to ensure the reproducibility of the real gun operation and the safety required for the play equipment while maintaining high reproducibility of the cartridge shape. However, there is an inherent problem that the gunpowder in the cartridge may drop during firing or the gunpowder may not be reliably ignited.
[0006] When constructing a toy gun that enhances the fun by enclosing gunpowder in a cartridge and firing it, a stable firing mechanism is required. To solve the above problems, it has been desired to develop a highly safe ignition cartridge for a toy gun that suppresses the dropping of gunpowder in the cartridge during firing and suppresses the occurrence of a situation where the gunpowder cannot be reliably ignited.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0008] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides an ignition cartridge for holding a bullet loaded in a toy gun, and in particular, aims to provide a highly safe ignition cartridge for a toy gun that suppresses the dropping of gunpowder during firing and enables reliable ignition of the gunpowder to generate a cracking sound like that of a real gun.
Means for Solving the Problems
[0009] In order to achieve the above object, the ignition cartridge according to the present invention is an ignition cartridge that can be loaded into a toy gun, and includes a cartridge body having a hollow cylindrical shape, and a cylindrical inner member that is housed in the cartridge body so as to be movable back and forth. The cartridge body includes an installation portion for installing and fixing a first cap powder composed of one or more of the inner members, a struck portion that seals the inner member in the cartridge body and ignites upon receiving a strike, and a top portion having a circular first opening provided at an end portion facing the struck portion to prevent the inner member from falling off. The inner member is installed and fixed on the top portion side of the installation portion, and the first cap powder is placed and fixed on the struck portion side of the installation portion. The inner member abuts against the first cap powder, and the first cap powder abuts against the struck portion. The inner member includes an inner cap having a cylindrical internal space for enclosing one or more second cap powders, and an inner body having a thickness in a screwing direction for screwing and installing on the inner cap to seal the second cap powder. The inner cap is provided with a second opening at an end portion facing a portion where the inner body is screwed, and the inner body is configured such that a third opening is drilled through from the inner space side of the inner cap toward the struck portion side. By a strike on the struck portion, the first cap powder ignites, and due to the pressing force of the gas generated thereby, the cartridge body retreats and the inner member moves in the cartridge body to the top portion. At the same time, the ignition ignites the second cap powder through the third opening, and the smoke and bursting sound generated thereby are generated from the first opening of the top portion through the second opening.
[0010] Further, the inner body is configured such that an O-ring for fixing the inner member to the installation portion of the cartridge body and preventing gas leakage is installed in a ring shape.
Advantages of the Invention
[0011] Since the present invention has the configuration as described in detail above, it has the following effects. 1. Since the inner body is screwed and installed on the inner cap to seal the second cap gunpowder, it is possible to prevent the gunpowder from falling off during ignition. Also, when the cartridge body retreats (the inner moves to the top of the head) due to the ignition of the first cap gunpowder, and at the same time, the ignition ignites the second cap gunpowder to generate smoke and a cracking sound. Therefore, it is possible to reproduce a smoke and cracking sound with a compelling force like the real thing, enhancing playfulness and fun. 2. Since an O-ring is provided on the inner body, it is possible to provide a highly safe ignition cartridge that prevents the backflow of gas due to ignition.
Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention
[0012] Hereinafter, the ignition cartridge according to the present invention will be described in detail based on the embodiments shown in the drawings. FIG. 1 is a side cross-sectional view of the ignition cartridge according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the inner. FIG. 3 is a side cross-sectional view of the ignition cartridge with a firing pin attached, and FIG. 4 is a side cross-sectional view of the ignition cartridge after ignition.
[0013] As shown in FIG. 1, the ignition cartridge 1 of the present invention is composed of a cartridge body 100 and an inner 200, and is a highly safe and interesting ignition cartridge that can be loaded into a toy gun, suppressing the fall of gunpowder during ignition and surely igniting the gunpowder to produce a cracking sound like a real gun.
[0014] The cartridge body 100 is a member that constitutes the housing of the ignition cartridge 1. As shown in FIG. 1, it is a hollow cylindrical member. One end of the cylinder is sealed, and the other end is provided with an opening (first opening 132). Since gunpowder ignites inside the cartridge body 100, it is desirable to use a strong material with a thick wall.
[0015] The inner 200 is a member for enclosing and holding gunpowder inside, and is a member that is accommodated in the cartridge body 100 so as to be movable back and forth. The inner 200 is configured to be disposed inside the cylindrical hollow of the cartridge body 100, and in this embodiment, it is a cylindrical member having substantially the same diameter as the hollow of the cartridge body 100. In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, when the ignition cartridge 1 is loaded into the gun, the elongated pipe-shaped firing pin 30 attached to the gun body is inserted into the first opening 132, and the end of the firing pin 30 is in close contact with the inner 200.
[0016] As shown in FIG. 1, the cartridge body 100 includes an installation portion 110, a struck portion 120, and a top portion 130. The installation portion 110 is a member for installing and fixing the inner 200 and the first cap gunpowder 10 inside the cartridge body 100. The inside thereof is a cylindrical space, and the inner 200 and the first cap gunpowder 10 are installed in this space. As shown in FIG. 1, the internal space of the installation portion 110 is configured to be longer than the installation length of the inner 200 and the first cap gunpowder 10.
[0017] As will be described later, the first cap gunpowder 10 is a member that generates a firepower for firing the second cap gunpowder 20 described later and causes the cartridge body 100 to retreat (the inner 200 in close contact with the firing pin 30 moves in the internal space of the installation portion 110) by the pressing force of the gas generated by ignition, and one or more are installed. In FIG. 1, one first cap gunpowder 10 is installed in the installation portion 110, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and two or more first cap gunpowders 10 may be installed to increase the power of ignition and enhance the interest.
[0018] The struck part 120 is a primer for receiving a strike by a member that strikes during firing, which is provided in a toy gun loaded with the firing cartridge 1, while being sealed within the cartridge body 100 so that the inner 200 does not fall off. In this embodiment, the toy gun loaded with the firing cartridge 1 has a member that strikes the end of the firing cartridge 1 with a strong force. As shown in FIG. 1, a struck part 120, which is a primer, is installed at the end of the firing cartridge 1. By striking this part, the struck part 120, which is a primer, ignites and also ignites the first cap powder 10 in contact therewith, generating a flame and gas to produce a pressing force.
[0019] The top part 130 is a member that serves as a lid for preventing the inner 200 from falling off the cartridge body 100, and is provided at the end of the cartridge body 100 on the side opposite to the struck part 120, as shown in FIG. 1. The top part 130 has a structure with a circular first opening 132. The firing pin 30 attached to the gun barrel is inserted into this opening, and the smoke and bursting sound generated by the second cap powder 20, which will be described later, are led to the outside through the pipe-shaped firing pin 30.
[0020] The arrangement of the above members will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, the inner 200 is installed and fixed on the side of the installation part 110 of the cartridge body 100 towards the top part 130. Also, one or a plurality of first cap powders 10 are placed and fixed on the side of the installation part 110 towards the struck part 120.
[0021] The inner 200 is in contact with the first cap powder 10, and further, the first cap powder 10 is in contact with the struck part 120. Thus, when the struck part 120 is struck, the struck part 120 ignites and ignites the first cap powder 10 in contact therewith, and the generated gas presses the inner 200. As shown in FIG. 4, the cartridge body 100 moves backward and the inner 200 moves within the installation part 110 towards the top part 130 side.
[0022] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, in this embodiment, the inner 200 is composed of an inner cap 210 and an inner body 220. The inner cap 210 is a member having a cylindrical inner space, and one or more second cap powders 20 are enclosed in this inner space. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, two second cap powders 20 are enclosed back to back, but it is not limited to this configuration. Depending on the size of the ignition cartridge 1 or to adjust the power of ignition, it is possible to appropriately select to use one second cap powder 20 or enclose more second cap powders 20.
[0023] The inner body 220 is a lid-shaped member for screwing onto the inner cap 210 to seal the second cap powder 20, and is configured to screw onto the inner cap 210 to securely enclose the second cap powder 20. The inner body 220 has a thickness in its screwing direction. Thereby, it is possible to suppress the situation where the inner body 220 is damaged due to the ignition of the first cap powder 10.
[0024] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the inner cap 210 is configured such that a second opening 212 is provided at an end facing the portion where the inner body 220 is screwed. Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the inner body 220 is configured such that a third opening 222 is drilled through from the inner space side of the inner cap 210 toward the struck portion 120 side. That is, the ignition from the first cap powder 10 installed outside the inner 200 is transmitted into the inner 200, and the smoke and rupture sound generated by the ignition of the second cap powder 20 enclosed inside the inner 200 are released to the outside of the inner 200.
[0025] Next, the operation of the ignition cartridge 1 will be described. As shown in FIG. 3, a striking member that operates during firing provided in the toy gun strikes the struck portion 120, causing the struck portion 120, which is the ignition primer, to ignite, and thereby igniting the first cap powder 10. Due to the pressing force of the gas generated thereby, as shown in FIG. 4, the cartridge body retreats due to the pressing force, and the inner 200 moves within the installation portion 110 of the cartridge body 100 to the top portion 130. At this time, since the diameter of the inner cap 210 is larger than the diameter of the first opening 132, the inner 200 does not escape from the ignition cartridge 1. In addition to making the inner cap 210 have a larger diameter than the first opening 132, a locking portion 214 may be provided on the inner cap 210 and the locking portion 214 may be locked to the first opening 132 to prevent the inner 200 from escaping from the ignition cartridge 1.
[0026] Also, simultaneously with the ignition of the first cap powder 10, the ignition of the first cap powder 10 ignites the second cap powder 20 through the third opening 222. The generated smoke and bursting sound are discharged to the outside through the first opening 132 at the top portion 130 via the pipe-shaped firing pin 30 through the second opening 212.
[0027] As described above, it is possible to reproduce a smoke and bursting sound with a realistic impact, enhancing the playability and fun. Also, when the first cap powder 10 ignites, the cartridge body 100 retreats, and the inner 200 moves to the top portion, making the impact and vibration transmitted to the hand when firing similar to that of a live ammunition firing, resulting in a more interesting ignition cartridge 1.
[0028] With the above configuration, it is possible to provide an ignition cartridge for a toy gun that is highly safe and interesting, suppressing the occurrence of situations where the gunpowder in the cartridge falls off during ignition or where the gunpowder cannot be reliably ignited.
[0029] In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the inner body 220 is configured such that an O-ring 224 is mounted around it. The O-ring 224 is a member that surrounds the inner body 220 and abuts against the cylindrical installation portion 110 of the cartridge body 100. As a result, the inner 200 can be stably fixed to the installation portion 110 of the cartridge body 100, and it is possible to prevent leakage of gas generated from the ignited gunpowder, and to prevent the gas from flowing back due to ignition, thus making it possible to provide a highly safe ignition cartridge.
