Rotatable Bullet Container for Toy Gun Magazine
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing toy gun bullet containers are inconvenient to use due to the need to remove and replace them entirely when empty, requiring precise alignment of the insertion bar and slot, which can be obstructed, making the process cumbersome.
Innovation Solution
A bullet container device with rotatable compartments that can be easily mounted and removed from a magazine using an elastic mounting piece, allowing for efficient reloading and recombination with the toy gun, mimicking genuine device operations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the insertion bar and slot are used for mounting and removing the bullet container, then the bullet container can be securely attached to the magazine, but the alignment process becomes complex and time-consuming when the components are shielded by the magazine or bullet container
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting opening is extracted from the traditional insertion bar/slot configuration and repositioned to a location that is not shielded by the magazine or bullet container. This allows the mounting and removal operations to be performed without requiring precise alignment through obscured paths, thereby maintaining secure attachment while simplifying the operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting opening acts as an intermediary access point that facilitates easy alignment and connection between the bullet container and magazine. By providing an unobstructed access path, it mediates the mounting process and eliminates the need for complex alignment procedures while ensuring reliable attachment.
2Quantity of substance
If the bullet container is removed and replaced entirely when empty, then fresh bullets can be loaded, but the operation becomes cumbersome and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The bullet container is segmented into multiple bullet compartments that can be independently accessed and rotated. When bullets are depleted in one compartment, the user can rotate the container to access other compartments with remaining bullets, eliminating the need to remove and replace the entire container and significantly reducing operation time.
Solution Approach 2:
The bullet container is designed with rotatable compartments that can be dynamically repositioned during use. This dynamic configuration allows continuous access to available bullets without removing the container, transforming a static replacement operation into a dynamic rotation operation that saves time.
3Manufacturing precision
If the insertion bar must be exactly aligned with the insertion slot, then perpendicular insertion is achieved, but the process becomes complicated when alignment is obstructed
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting opening is extracted from the traditional aligned insertion bar/slot configuration and repositioned to an unobstructed location. This eliminates the need for precise perpendicular alignment while maintaining secure attachment, thereby reducing device complexity without sacrificing manufacturing precision requirements.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Facilitates easy and efficient use by allowing for smooth rotation and repositioning of bullet compartments, enabling continuous shooting without the need for complete magazine removal and alignment, enhancing the authenticity of the toy gun experience.
Implementation Method 1
at least one elastic mounting piece arranged at one side of the mounting opening. The magazine comprises at least one retaining section selectively insertable into the mounting opening and in retaining engagement with the elastic mounting piece

AI summary
An improved toy gun bullet container structure includes a bullet container device, which is selectively and movable mounted in a magazine, a receiving space, which is defined in the bullet container device, and a plurality of bullet compartments, which are arranged in the receiving space in a manner of being free to rotate. The bullet compartments each receive and hold therein a plurality of bullets. The magazine is can be mounted and removed so as to achieve imitation of a genuine device. When one of the bullet compartments runs out of bullets, the magazine can be first removed and the bullet container device rotated to switch the other one of the bullet compartments to the position for shooting. When all the bullet compartments run of bullets, the bullet container device can be detached from the magazine for reloading of bullets.
