[0010] 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.

[0011] [First embodiment] A magazine 100 according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 20. The magazine 100 is a magazine used in a gas-powered toy gun.

[0012] FIG. 1 is a partially enlarged perspective view of the upper part of a magazine 100 of a toy gun, as viewed from the right side.

[0013] As shown in FIG. 1, the magazine 100 includes a follower 101 , a release valve 102 , and a follower link 103 .

[0014] The follower 101 pushes the stored bullets 110 toward the gun body, and most of it is not shown in Fig. 1. In this example, the bullet root and the follower 101 are disposed at the frontmost part of the magazine 100.

[0015] The release valve 102 is a valve that holds back the gas in the magazine 100, and releases the gas when pressed by a valve knocker provided on the gun body side. The gas is filled at the rear bottom of the magazine 100, and when the release valve 102 is opened, the gas is released from the gas nozzle 104 toward the gun body.

[0016] The follower link 103 operates in conjunction with the movement of the follower 101 to the terminal position when the last bullet stored in the magazine 100 is discharged. When the last bullet is discharged, the follower link 103 moves from a first position that does not prevent the valve knocker from pressing the release valve to a second position that prevents the valve knocker from pressing the release valve 102. In FIG. 1, the follower link 103 is located at the first position.

[0017] The follower link 103 is provided with a rod-shaped member 135 as a movable member that moves up and down at a position close to the release valve 102, and in the second position, the rod-shaped member 135 moves upward to urge the valve knocker upward, thereby preventing the valve knocker from pressing against the release valve 102.

[0018] The follower link 103 includes a follower link 131 having a rod-shaped member 135 and rotating about a rotation shaft 134 , and a follower link 132 rotating about a rotation shaft 136 to transmit the movement of the follower 101 to the follower link 131 .

[0019] The magazine 100 further includes a spring 105 as an elastic member that urges the rod-shaped member 135 side of the pivot shaft 134 of the follower link 131 downward. In FIG. 1, the magazine 100 is loaded with bullets 110, so the follower 101 and the front end 137 of the follower link 132 are not in contact with each other. At this time, the follower link 131 is pushed down counterclockwise by the force of the spring 105 and is located at the first position. This ensures that the rod-shaped member 135 is maintained at the first position when there are bullets in the magazine 100. Furthermore, the follower link 132 in contact with the follower link 131 is pushed down clockwise. Then, the follower assist 106 serving as a limiting member moves downward by its own weight and comes into contact with the follower link 132.

[0020] When no bullets are loaded in the magazine 100, the follower 101 and the follower link 132 come into contact with each other, and the follower link 132 is pushed up counterclockwise by the follower 101. As a result, the follower link 131 in contact with the follower link 132 rotates clockwise while compressing the spring 105. As a result, the rod-shaped member 135 extending from the rear end of the follower link 131 is pushed up and moves to a second position that avoids the release valve 102 being pressed by the valve knocker, and is engaged and held by the holding member 107. Then, the follower assist 106 in contact with the follower link 132 is pushed up to the uppermost position by the front end 137 of the follower link 132.

[0021] Fig. 2 is a partially enlarged perspective view of the upper part of magazine 100 of the toy gun as viewed from the left side. In Fig. 2, follower link 103 is in a state of being moved to the second position. As shown in Fig. 2, magazine 100 further includes holding member 107 that holds follower link 103 at the second position and spring 202 as an elastic member that biases holding member 107 rearward. Holding member 107 includes claw portion 212 that engages claw portion 231 of rod-shaped member 135 to hold rod-shaped member 135 at the upper second position even if follower 101 is lowered.

[0022] The holding member 107 moves forward against the biasing force of the spring 202 by the operation of mounting the magazine 100 to the toy gun body. Specifically, the protrusion 211 is pushed forward by the toy gun body. As a result, the claw portion 212 of the holding member 107 and the claw portion 231 of the rod-shaped member 135 are disengaged, and the rod-shaped member 135 of the follower link 103 is released from the second position and moved to the first position by being biased by the spring 105. That is, the holding member 107 releases the follower link 103 from the second position and moves it to the first position in conjunction with the downward movement of the follower 101 due to reloading of bullets and the mounting of the magazine to the gun body.

[0023] 3A is a partial cross-sectional view seen from the right side immediately after magazine 100 containing bullets is loaded into toy gun 300. Toy gun 300 includes valve knocker 301, hammer 302, bolt 303, and trigger 304. When magazine 100 is loaded, front end 311 of valve knocker 301 is pushed up counterclockwise in the figure (in the direction of the arrow) by release valve 102.

[0024] The follower 101 is biased upward by the spring 305. Because the magazine 100 contains bullets, the follower 101 and the follower link 132 are not in contact with each other. Therefore, the rod-shaped member 135 of the follower link 131 is in a lowered state (first position) by the force of the spring 105.

[0025] The valve knocker 301 is biased in a direction pushing it downward backward by a spring 312. The rear part of the hammer 302 receives a forward biasing force by a hammer spring 306, which biases it clockwise in the figure around the rotation shaft 322.

[0026] (About the auto-stop switch lever) As shown in Fig. 3A, the auto-stop switching lever 307 is provided on the right side of the chamber 308, and is always pulled forward toward the muzzle by the force of a compression spring 309. Also, as shown in Fig. 3B, a shaft 310 protruding from the chamber 308 to the front side in the figure is inserted into an oval slit (not shown) of the auto-stop switching lever 307. This allows the auto-stop switching lever 307 to slide forward and backward.

[0027] As shown in Fig. 3C, when auto-stop switching lever 307 is pulled backward with a finger to release the engagement between claw 381 of chamber 308 and corner 371 of auto-stop switching lever 307, and then the finger is released, auto-stop switching lever 307 is stored forward by the force of spring 309. In other words, the auto-stop function can be transitioned from the auto-stop function OFF state shown at the bottom of Fig. 3C as indicated by arrow 340 to the auto-stop function ON state shown at the top.

[0028] When the auto-stop function is turned on as shown in the upper diagram of FIG. 3C, the bolt stops operating after the last bullet is fired. When the auto-stop function is turned off, the auto-stop switching lever 307 is pulled backward with a finger from the upper state of FIG. 3C, and the claw portion 381 of the chamber 308 and the corner portion 371 of the auto-stop switching lever 307 are hooked. At this time, the auto-stop switching lever 307 is stopped at the position where it is pulled backward. When the auto-stop function is turned off, the upper surface of the follower assist 106 abuts against the lower surface of the auto-stop switching lever 307, restricting the upward movement of the follower assist 106. Since the follower assist 106 does not rise all the way upward, the follower link 132 is maintained in the first position, and similarly, the follower link 131 and the rod-shaped member 135 are also maintained in the first position. As a result, the pressure of the release valve 102 by the valve knocker 301 is not avoided, and the bolt operates even after the last bullet is fired, making it possible to perform so-called blank firing.

[0029] Fig. 4 is a partial cross-sectional view showing the configuration of toy gun 300 of Fig. 3 as seen from the left side. As shown in Fig. 4, front end 321 of hammer 302 presses rear end 313 of valve knocker 301 forward under the force of hammer spring 306, so that pivot shaft 314 of valve knocker 301 is positioned forward in oval slit 401 provided in the casing of toy gun 300. Bolt 303 is constantly urged forward by spring 402.

[0030] FIG. 5 shows a state where the shooter grabs the bolt 303 from the state shown in FIG. 3 and moves it backward (in the direction of the arrow 501) against the urging force of the spring 402, preparing to load a bullet. The lower surface of the cylinder (piston cup) 503, which moves backward together with the bolt 303, comes into contact with the hammer 302, and the hammer 302 rotates counterclockwise in the figure (in the direction of the arrow 502). The cylinder 503 is fixed to the bolt 303, and the piston 504 is held in the cylinder 503 so as to be able to slide back and forth while being urged backward by the cylinder 503. The piston 504 is provided with a wheel-shaped roller 541 on its upper side, which suppresses friction with the upper surface inside the cylinder 503. Even when gas flows into the piston 504 from below and urges the piston 504 diagonally backward to the left in the figure, wear on the upper inner wall of the cylinder 503 is very small. A jaw 505 is provided on the front underside of the cylinder 503, and when the bolt 303 moves forward, the bullet 110 is pushed by the tip of the jaw 505, scooped out of the magazine 100, and runs up the slope and is sent into the chamber 506.

[0031] Fig. 6 is a partial cross-sectional view showing the configuration of the toy gun 300 of Fig. 5 as seen from the left side. The claw portion 622 at the rear end of the hammer 302 which has been rotated rearward engages with the claw portion 641 of the trigger 304.

[0032] The valve knocker 301, which had been pushed forward by the front end 321 of the hammer 302, is released from the forward pressing force as the hammer 302 rotates, and slides rearward within the oval slit 401 due to the force of the spring 312. The front end 311 of the valve knocker 301 that has slid rearward separates from the upper part of the discharge valve 102 and moves onto the axis of the discharge valve 102 (see FIG. 5). Even in this state, the rod-shaped member 135 is positioned downward (first position), and the holding member 107 is not engaged with the rod-shaped member 135.

[0033] 7 shows a loaded state in which the bolt 303 has moved forward (in the direction of arrow 701) from the state shown in FIG. 5 by the biasing force of the spring 402. In the process in which the bolt 303 is pushed back forward by the force of the spring 402, the tip of the jaw 505 of the piston 504 picks up the bullet 110 and pushes it into the chamber 506. The bullet 110 is pushed by the tip of the jaw 505, scooped out of the magazine 100, travels up the slope, and is sent into the chamber 506. When the bullet 110 has been sent into the chamber 506, the nozzle at the tip of the piston 504 pierces the chamber 506 to seal it.

[0034] Although there are no more bullets 110 in the magazine 100, the follower 101 cannot rise to the top because the bullets 110 are blocked by the underside of the jaw 505 of the piston 504, and the follower links 131 and 132 do not operate.

[0035] Fig. 8 is a partial cross-sectional view showing the configuration seen from the left side in the state of Fig. 7. As shown in Fig. 8, in this state, gas ejection port 104 of magazine 100 communicates with gas inlet 841 provided in piston 504, and gas can flow into the space immediately behind bullet 110 when release valve 102 is opened.

[0036] 9 is a partial cross-sectional view showing the configuration seen from the right side when the last bullet is fired. When the trigger 304 is pulled backward, the claw 641 moves forward by rotation about the rotation shaft 941, and the engagement with the claw 622 of the hammer 302 is released. As a result, the hammer 302 rotates clockwise in the figure (in the direction of the arrow 901) under the biasing force of the hammer spring 306, and rises up with force. The valve knocker 301 pressed by the rotating hammer 302 moves forward and pushes the protruding portion 921 at the rear end of the release valve 102 forward, opening the release valve 102.

[0037] This causes gas in magazine 100 to be released with great force into piston 504 in the direction of arrow 906. The gas that has flowed into piston 504 forcefully pushes bullet 110 remaining in chamber 506 toward the muzzle. At this time, piston valve 902 is pushed backward by the force of spring 903 and is supported by piston inner 905, so the gas flows toward the muzzle.

[0038] Fig. 10 is a partial cross-sectional view showing the configuration of the toy gun 300 of Fig. 9 as seen from the left side. As explained in Fig. 9, by pulling the trigger 304, the gas in the magazine 100 flows into the piston 504, causing the bullet 110 to be fired.

[0039] FIG. 11 is a partial cross-sectional view of the inside of the toy gun after the last bullet is fired, seen from the right side. After the bullet is fired, gas flows out to the muzzle side, reducing the pressure on the chamber 506 side, and the piston valve 902 moves forward, preventing the gas from escaping to the front side. The gas route switches to the rear cylinder 503, gas 1101 flows into the cylinder 503, and all the gas pressure that has nowhere to go acts on the rear surface 1103 of the inner wall of the cylinder 503. This causes the gas to move backward, and the cylinder 503 and the bolt 303 move vigorously backward against the elastic force of the spring 402. At this time, the piston 504 is unable to move forward due to the chamber 506 and remains in the forward position. When the cylinder 503 moves backward, the spring 1102 contracts, and the engagement between the jaw 505 and the chamber 506 is released by the elastic force after a few tenths of a second, and the piston 504 also starts to move backward.

[0040] When the cylinder 503 retracts, the hammer 302 in contact with the lower surface of the rear end of the cylinder 503 starts to rotate counterclockwise in the figure, and the valve knocker 301 retracts accordingly. This stops the release of gas from the release valve 102.

[0041] Fig. 12 is a partial cross-sectional view of the toy gun 300 of Fig. 11, seen from the left side. As in the explanation of Fig. 11, gas in the magazine 100 flows into the cylinder 503, causing the cylinder 503 and the bolt 303 to move backward, causing the hammer 302 to fall, causing the valve knocker 301 to move backward, and stopping the release of gas from the release valve 102.

[0042] Fig. 13A is a partial cross-sectional view of the configuration of toy gun 300 at the maximum blowback position after firing a bullet, seen from the right side. When bolt 303 further retracts from the position shown in Fig. 11, piston 504 also retracts due to spring 1102 above piston 504, and leaves chamber 506. At this time, the internal pressure difference inside piston 504 disappears, and piston valve 902 returns to its original rear position due to the force of the spring.

[0043] As the piston 504 moves backward, the lower surface of the jaw 505 of the piston 504 separates from the magazine 100 and the follower 101 reaches the top. In Fig. 13A, the auto-stop switching lever 307 is in the lower right position where the auto-stop function is on, so there is nothing above the follower assist 106 that obstructs the movement of the follower assist 106. Therefore, when the bullet runs out, the follower 101 and the follower link 132 come into contact, and the follower link 132 that comes into contact with the follower 101 rotates counterclockwise. Then, the rod-shaped member 135 of the follower link 131 that is linked to the follower link 132 moves upward (to the second position) and at the same time pushes up the valve knocker 301. At that position, the rod-shaped member 135 engages with the retaining member 107, preventing the valve knocker 301 from pressing the release valve 102, and the operation of the bolt stops. On the other hand, as shown in Fig. 3C, if the auto-stop switching lever 307 is in the upper left position where the auto-stop function is off, the rear end of the auto-stop switching lever 307 is located above the follower assist 106. This prevents the follower assist 106 from rising all the way up. Therefore, the follower link 132 in contact with the follower assist 106 is prevented from rotating counterclockwise, and the follower link 132 maintains the position shown in Fig. 11 even when the gun runs out of ammunition. Then, the follower link 131 maintains the first position by the force of the spring 105, allowing the valve knocker 301 to press the release valve 102, enabling blank firing. 13B is an enlarged perspective view showing a state in which the auto-stop function is off and the rear end of the auto-stop switching lever 307 is located above the follower assist 106. 1301 in the upper left diagram is a perspective view of the right side surface seen from above, and 1302 in the lower right diagram is a perspective view of the right side surface seen from below.

[0044] Fig. 14 is a partial cross-sectional view of the configuration of toy gun 300 in the state shown in Fig. 13, seen from the left side. Rod-shaped member 135 slides holding member 107 forward while making contact with the inclined surface of holding member 107, and claw portion 121 of holding member 107 and claw portion 231 of rod-shaped member 135 are engaged with each other, holding rod-shaped member 135 at the upper second position. At this time, holding member 107 is pressed backward by the force of spring 202.

[0045] 15 is a diagram for comparing the configuration at the maximum blowback position after a bullet is fired when there is the next bullet 110 1501 and when the final bullet has been fired 1502. When there is the next bullet 110 1501, the rod-shaped member 135 is positioned downward, so the front end 311 of the valve knocker 301 remains on the axis of the release valve 102. In other words, gas is able to be released from the release valve 102.

[0046] On the other hand, in the case where there is no next bullet 110 (1502), the rod-shaped member 135 is located upward, and therefore the front end 311 of the valve knocker 301 is shifted upward from the axis of the release valve 102. In other words, even if the valve knocker 301 continues to move forward in this state, gas is not released from the release valve 102.

[0047] Fig. 16 is a partial cross-sectional view showing the configuration as seen from the right side in the standby state after the firing of the final bullet. Fig. 17 is a partial cross-sectional view showing the configuration as seen from the left side in the standby state after the firing of the final bullet. When the bolt 303 returns forward by the force of the spring 402, the lower surface of the jaw 505 of the piston 504 pushes the follower 101 down again, causing the follower 101 and the follower link 132 to break contact with each other.

[0048] At this time, the follower link 131 does not move down because it maintains the engaged state with the holding member 107. The follower link 131 maintains the state in which it pushes up the valve knocker 301, and the valve knocker 301 is disengaged from the axis of the release valve 102.

[0049] Fig. 18 is a partial cross-sectional view from the right side showing the state in which the trigger is pulled in the standby state after the last bullet is fired. Fig. 19 is a partial cross-sectional view from the left side showing the state in which the trigger is pulled in the standby state after the last bullet is fired.

[0050] By pulling the trigger 304 in the state shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, the engagement between the trigger 304 and the hammer 302 is released, and the hammer 302 is forcefully raised up by the force of the hammer spring 306.

[0051] In the process of rising, the protrusion of the hammer 302 hits the rear end of the valve knocker 301 and pushes it forward while making a clicking sound. At this time, since the valve knocker 301 maintains the state of being pushed up by the rod-shaped member 135, the valve knocker 301 pushed in by the hammer 302 slides diagonally upward and does not push the release valve 102. Therefore, gas is not released and the bolt 303 does not operate.

[0052] Since the bolt 303 does not operate, only the impact sound produced by the hammer 302 rising forcefully informs the shooter that all bullets have been fired.

[0053] 20 is a diagram showing how to replace a magazine. When replacing a magazine with one containing bullets 110, first, a claw portion 2001 at the front end of the magazine 100 is hooked onto a protrusion 2002 of the receiver, and then the magazine is inserted into the gun body while rotating around that point, and a protrusion 2003 at the rear end of the magazine 100 is engaged with the upper surface of a magazine catch 2004.

[0054] Here, it is assumed that the rod-shaped member 135 and the holding member 107 maintain their locked state, and in the process of inserting the magazine 100 into the gun body, the holding member 107 comes into contact with the projection 2005 on the left of the receiver inner. Then, the holding member 107 slides forward while compressing the spring 202, and the lock with the rod-shaped member 135 is released. The rod-shaped member 135, which has been released from the lock with the holding member 107, is biased by the spring 105 to move down and return to the first position. After climbing over the projection 2005 on the left of the receiver inner, the holding member 107 slides back to its original position again due to the force of the compressed spring 202.

[0055] According to the embodiment described above, even if the bullet runs out, the bolt 303 does not stop at the rear but moves forward, and even if the hammer moves, the valve is not struck, so that wasteful consumption of gas can be suppressed. Even if the bullet runs out, the bolt 303 moves forward, and a special type of operation (for example, AKM) can be realized in which the shooter is not informed that the bullet has run out.

[0056] The valve knocker has a mechanism to release it, so it slides over the valve and does not hit it even when it moves horizontally. The valve knocker's upward release function is also used to release the valve knocker from hitting the valve when the bullets run out.

[0057] In addition, the follower link may have any structure as long as the front end of the valve knocker moves upward at the same time as the bullet runs out.

[0058] In the above embodiment, follower links 131, 132 are used as two rotating bodies having two rotation shafts, but one follower link having one rotation shaft may be used. A columnar member that rotates about a rotation shaft in the front-rear direction as the follower rises may be provided, and the valve knocker may be urged upward using rod-shaped members extending radially from the columnar member. A similar mechanism may be used to urge the valve knocker downward to release it.

Claims

1. A magazine for a gas-powered toy gun, A follower pushes the stored bullets towards the gun body, a release valve that releases gas when pressed by a valve knocker provided on the gun body; A follower link that operates in conjunction with the movement of the follower to the terminal position when the last stored bullet is discharged, and moves from a first position that does not avoid the release valve being pressed by the valve knocker to a second position that avoids the release valve being pressed by the valve knocker; a retaining member that retains the follower link at the second position; Equipped with The retaining member releases the follower link from the second position and moves it to the first position in conjunction with the downward movement of the follower due to reloading of bullets and the attachment of the magazine to the gun body.

2. 2. The magazine according to claim 1, further comprising a restricting member for restricting said follower link from moving from said first position to said second position even when no bullets are loaded.

3. The follower link is a movable member that moves up and down at a position adjacent to the discharge valve, 3. The magazine according to claim 1, wherein, in the second position, the movable member moves upward to urge the valve knocker upward, thereby preventing the valve knocker from pressing the release valve.

4. A magazine for a gas-powered toy gun, A follower pushes the stored bullets towards the gun body, a release valve that is pressed by a valve knocker provided on the gun body side to release gas; A follower link that operates in conjunction with the movement of the follower to the terminal position when the last stored bullet is discharged, and moves from a first position that does not avoid the release valve being pressed by the valve knocker to a second position that avoids the release valve being pressed by the valve knocker; Equipped with The follower link is a first follower link having a movable member that moves up and down at a position adjacent to the discharge valve and rotates around a first rotation axis; a second follower link that rotates about a second rotation axis to transmit the movement of the follower to the first follower link; The movable member is a rod-shaped member extending in the left-right direction of the magazine, and by moving to the second position, the magazine changes the moving direction of the valve knocker to avoid pressing the release valve.

5. 5. The magazine according to claim 4, further comprising an elastic member for biasing downward a portion of said first follower link closer to said moving member than said first rotation shaft.

6. A gas-powered toy gun comprising the magazine according to any one of claims 1 to 5.
