Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

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

[0010] [First Embodiment] The toy gun 100 as the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 20. The toy gun 100 is a revolver-type toy gun.

[0011] Figures 1 to 4 show the toy gun 100 with no BBs loaded and the hammer 101 in the down position. Figure 1 is a cross-sectional view seen from the left side as seen from the shooter's perspective, and Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view seen from the right side as seen from the shooter's perspective. Figure 3 is a partially enlarged transparent view of the toy gun 100 seen from the left side as seen from the shooter's perspective, with the outer cover of the toy gun 100 transparent, and Figure 4 is a partially enlarged transparent view of the toy gun 100 seen from the right side as seen from the shooter's perspective, with the outer cover of the toy gun 100 transparent. Figure 5 is an exploded view of the cylinder, and Figure 6 is an exploded view of its internal parts.

[0012] The toy gun 100 comprises a hammer 101, an air cylinder 109 housing a piston 108 that operates in conjunction with the movement of the hammer 101, and a BB nozzle assembly 107 that serves as a magazine and rotates around a rotating axis 110 in conjunction with the movement of the hammer 101.

[0013] The rotating shaft 110 has an internal air passage 120 for air supplied from inside the air cylinder 109.

[0014] The BB nozzle assembly 107 includes a plurality of storage sections 171 for housing BB pellets and a plurality of BB nozzles 172 for ejecting air onto the housing BB pellets.

[0015] The nozzle packing 104 directs the air flowing through the channel 120 within the rotating shaft 110 to one of the multiple BB nozzles 172. The nozzle packing 104 is fixed to the rotating shaft 110 and does not rotate.

[0016] The cylinder latch 102 is located below the cylinder 103 and is rotatable around the pivot axis 121.

[0017] In the state shown in Figures 1 to 4, the front of the cylinder latch 102 rises and engages with the recess 133 provided in the rear part 132 of the cylinder case of the cylinder 103. As a result, the cylinder 103 does not rotate.

[0018] The connection of the hammer 101, nozzle bar cam 401, and nozzle bar 106 moves the nozzle packing assembly 501 and BB nozzle 172 forward.

[0019] A hammer arm 111 extending rearward from the lower end of the hammer 101 is connected to the piston 108 via a connecting rod 201. In other words, cocking the hammer 101 causes the piston 108 to move down, compressing the air in the air cylinder 109.

[0020] As shown in Figure 5, the toy gun 100 further comprises a cylinder case front section 502 that houses the BB nozzle assembly 107 and the nozzle packing 104. The cylinder case front section 502 rotates simultaneously with the BB nozzle assembly 107 around the pivot axis 110 in conjunction with the movement of the hammer 101.

[0021] Furthermore, the toy gun 100 includes a nozzle packing assembly 501 that houses the nozzle packing 104 so that it can slide back and forth within the front part 502 of the cylinder case and is fixed to the rotating shaft 110.

[0022] As shown in Figure 6, the toy gun 100 is further equipped with a nozzle packing spring 602 that biases the nozzle packing 104 to the rear.

[0023] Figures 7 to 10 show the state of preparation before loading BB pellets. Figure 7 is a cross-sectional view seen from the left side as seen from the shooter's perspective, and Figure 8 is a cross-sectional view seen from the right side as seen from the shooter's perspective. Figure 9 is a partially enlarged transparent view of the toy gun 100 seen from the left side as seen from the shooter's perspective, with the outer cover of the toy gun 100 transparent, and Figure 10 is a partially enlarged transparent view of the toy gun 100 seen from the right side as seen from the shooter's perspective, with the outer cover of the toy gun 100 transparent.

[0024] The hammer 101 is in a half-cocked state. In the half-cocked state, the lower end claw 711 of the hammer 101 rises, causing the cylinder latch 102 to rotate counterclockwise in the figure, its front side to lower and disengage from the recess 133, allowing the cylinder 103 to rotate freely. At this time, the BB nozzle assembly 107, which serves as the magazine, and the front part 502 of the cylinder case can rotate freely relative to the central nozzle packing assembly 501.

[0025] Furthermore, because the connection between the hammer 101, nozzle bar cam 401, and nozzle bar 106 is severed, the forward-moving nozzle packing assembly 501 is biased by the nozzle packing spring 602 and moves backward, causing the nozzle bar 106 and nozzle bar cam 401 to also move backward. This creates a space 701 in front of the BB nozzle 172, allowing the BB nozzle assembly 107 to rotate while loading BB pellets from the front into the space 701 in front of the multiple (six in the diagram) BB nozzles 172.

[0026] In other words, by setting the hammer 101 to half-cock, the nozzle packing 104 is biased by the nozzle packing spring 602 and retracts. As a result, the BB nozzle 172 can retract due to the resulting space, allowing BB pellets to be loaded into multiple storage compartments 171, and also allowing the BB nozzle assembly 107 to rotate.

[0027] Figures 11 to 14 show the state with BB pellets 1101 loaded into space 701. Figure 11 is a cross-sectional view seen from the left side as seen from the shooter's perspective, and Figure 12 is a cross-sectional view seen from the right side as seen from the shooter's perspective. Figure 13 is a partially enlarged transparent view of the toy gun 100 seen from the left side as seen from the shooter's perspective, with the outer cover of the toy gun 100 transparent, and Figure 14 is a partially enlarged transparent view of the toy gun 100 seen from the right side as seen from the shooter's perspective, with the outer cover of the toy gun 100 transparent.

[0028] In Figures 11 to 14, the hammer 101 remains in the half-cocked position. In the state shown in Figures 7 to 10, if you load a BB pellet and then pull the hammer 101 back a little further, the front of the cylinder latch 102 rises again and engages with the recess 133, fixing the cylinder 103 in place. In other words, the BB pellet 1101 to be fired is determined. If you then return the hammer 101, it will stop at its original half-cocked position.

[0029] Figures 15 to 18 show the toy gun 100 with BB pellets loaded and the hammer fully cocked. Figure 15 is a cross-sectional view seen from the left side as seen from the shooter's perspective, and Figure 16 is a cross-sectional view seen from the right side as seen from the shooter's perspective. Figure 17 is a partially enlarged transparent view of the toy gun 100 seen from the left side as seen from the shooter's perspective, with the outer cover of the toy gun 100 transparent, and Figure 18 is a partially enlarged transparent view of the toy gun 100 seen from the right side as seen from the shooter's perspective, with the outer cover of the toy gun 100 transparent.

[0030] From the state shown in Figures 11 to 14, if the hammer 101 is pulled further to the fully cocked position, the hammer part 1601, which is fitted coaxially, also rotates in the same direction (rearward) as the hammer 101, as shown in Figures 15 to 18. Consequently, the nozzle bar cam 401 rises, pushing the connected nozzle bar 106 forward. As the nozzle bar 106 moves forward, the nozzle packing 104 moves forward against the biasing force of the nozzle packing spring 602, pushing out and advancing one of the BB nozzles 172 located above. This action pushes the BB pellet 1101 out of the storage section 171 towards the rubber chamber 1502, completing the preparation for firing. In other words, the nozzle packing 104 slides back and forth in conjunction with the movement of the hammer 101, pushing the BB pellet held in the storage section 171 into the rubber chamber 1502.

[0031] In other words, each of the multiple BB nozzles 172 is slidable toward the housing 171, and the forward sliding of the nozzle packing 104 pushes the BB pellets held in the housing 171 toward the rubber chamber 1502.

[0032] By limiting the resistance during firing to only the rubber chamber 1502, irregular rotation and variations in initial velocity can be eliminated, improving accuracy.

[0033] Meanwhile, by fully cocking the hammer 101, the hammer arm 111 pushes down the piston 108 via the connecting rod 201. This fills the air cylinder 109 with air.

[0034] Figures 19 and 20 show the state when a BB pellet is fired. The trigger 1901 is normally pressed against the hammer 101 by tension applied by the trigger leaf spring 2001. When the trigger 1901 is pulled against the biasing force of the trigger leaf spring 2001 (arrow 1 in the figure), the sear part (not shown) that fixed the hammer 101 in the retracted position is released. This releases the piston 108, which had been pressed downward by the hammer arm 111 and connecting rod 201, and moves rapidly upward due to the biasing force of the piston spring 1903 (arrow 2 in the figure). Then, the air in the air cylinder 109 passes through the air pipe 1904, elbow pipe 1905, inner frame 1906, and further through the nozzle packing 104 and BB nozzle 172 to reach the BB pellet in the rubber chamber 1502, firing the BB pellet 1101 (arrow 3 in the figure).

[0035] Since the hammer 101 is also connected to the piston 108, they both return to the hammer-down position at the same time.

[0036] As described above, by routing the airflow through the rotating shaft of a revolver-type toy gun, we were able to provide a revolver-type toy gun with fewer design constraints.

[0037] [Other embodiments] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various modifications to the structure and details of the present invention can be made, as can be understood by those skilled in the art within the technical scope of the present invention.
