Toy Gun Trigger Toggle Assembly for Precise Bullet Positioning
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing toy gun mechanisms are overly complex, leading to increased production costs and decreased competitiveness due to numerous components and lengthy manufacturing processes.
Innovation Solution
An interlocking, positioning, and firing device for a toy gun utilizing a trigger element, toggle assembly, and hitting assembly, where the toggle assembly toggles the bullet room element by propping the top portion against the toggle assembly when the trigger is pulled, ensuring the hitting element is not activated until the bullet is positioned correctly for accurate firing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional trigger interlocking mechanisms are used, then the toy gun achieves good firing speed and handle feel, but the number of parts increases and the manufacturing process becomes very complicated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple functions into a single integrated trigger element that incorporates the trigger body, top portion, and interlocking features. This merging of components reduces the total number of parts while maintaining the interlocking mechanism's operational performance including firing speed and handle feel.
Solution Approach 2:
The trigger element serves multiple functions simultaneously: it acts as the firing mechanism, incorporates the interlocking feature through the top portion engagement with the ejection assembly, and provides the operational handle feel. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate components while achieving the desired operational characteristics.
2Reliability
If traditional trigger interlocking mechanisms are used, then the toy gun achieves reliable bullet ejection, but the manufacturing process becomes very complicated and production time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The ejection assembly integrates the bullet ejection function with the interlocking mechanism through the top portion engagement. This consolidation reduces the number of discrete parts that need to be manufactured and assembled, thereby decreasing production time while ensuring reliable bullet ejection through the coordinated movement of the integrated components.
Solution Approach 2:
The mechanism is segmented into two main functional assemblies: the trigger element and the ejection assembly. This segmentation allows for simpler manufacturing of each component while maintaining the reliability of the overall system through their coordinated interaction during the firing and ejection cycle.
3Reliability
If traditional trigger interlocking mechanisms are used, then the toy gun achieves smooth bullet firing, but the production cost increases due to complicated manufacturing processes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the trigger mechanism and interlocking features into a single trigger element, and integrates the ejection function with the interlocking assembly. This reduction in component count simplifies manufacturing processes and reduces production costs while maintaining smooth bullet firing through the coordinated operation of the integrated components.
Solution Approach 2:
Each component is designed to perform multiple functions: the trigger element provides both firing and interlocking functions, while the ejection assembly handles both bullet ejection and maintains the interlocking engagement. This multi-functionality reduces the total number of parts that need to be manufactured, thereby lowering production costs while ensuring smooth operation.

AI summary
An interlocking, positioning and firing device for a toy gun includes a trigger element, top portion formed on the trigger element, at least one toggle assembly configured on one side of the trigger element and bullet room element configured on one side of the toggle assembly, bullet placement spaces formed on the bullet room element, at least one interlocking element configured on one side of the trigger element and operated in cooperation therewith and hitting assembly configured on one side of the interlocking element and operated in cooperation therewith to hit bullets. Whereby, the bullets can be mounted inside the bullet placement spaces, and the toggle assembly can be forced to toggle the bullet room element by propping the top portion against the toggle assembly and the hitting element cannot be acted until the bullet is positioned correspondingly to the hitting element when the trigger element is pulled.
