Abstract
The ammunition supply device for a toy gun is detachably plugged in a chamber of the toy gun's body. The ammunition supply device contains a transmission module and a loading module interacting with the transmission module. The chamber stores the BBs and the loading module of the ammunition supply device loads the BBs for firing by the toy gun. After firing, the ammunition supply device can be conveniently removed and it is assured that no BBs are remained in the toy gun. With the present invention, a toy gun of increased capacity, convenient assembly, and enhanced safety is achieved.
Description
- The present invention is generally related to toy guns and more particular to a detachable ammunition supply device for a toy gun.
- Generally today's rifle contains parts such as barrel, body, stock, grip, trigger, magazine, etc. However, for old-fashioned rifles before World War II, most of them do not have magazines and usually contains only body (with built-in barrel), grip, and trigger.
- As electrical toy guns are design to be just like real guns, the electrical toy guns simulating the old-fashioned pre-World-War-II rifles therefore do not have magazines as well.
- A partial sectional diagram of one of these electrical toy guns is shown in
FIG. 1 . As illustrated, achannel 921 for the accommodation of BBs is configured in achamber 92 of thebody 91. With the help of an elastic element (not shown), the electrical toy gun is capable of repeated firing without the re-supply of BBs after each shot. However, as can be seen fromFIG. 1 , there is little space for the BBs. When the BBs are run out, thebody 91 has to be dis-assembled to remove thechamber 92, BBs are deposited in thechannel 921, and then thebody 91 has to be assembled again. This is an inconvenient, time-consuming, and also dangerous process, as there may be some residual BBs left inside. - A major objective of the present invention is to provide an ammunition supply device capable of convenient and speedy cleaning and maintenance.
- Another major objective of the present invention is to provide an ammunition supply device so as to prevent accidental discharge from remaining BBs left in the toy gun.
- Yet another major objective of the present invention is to provide an ammunition supply device so as to increase the number of repeated firings of BBs.
- To achieve the objectives, the ammunition supply device is detachably plugged into a chamber inside a toy gun's body. The chamber stores an increased number of BBs. The body has a feeding opening connected to the chamber. The ammunition supply device contains a transmission module and a loading module interacting with the transmission module. BBs are supplied to the toy gun through the feeding opening into the chamber. The transmission module engages the loading module to load BBs for firing by the toy gun. After firing, the ammunition supply device can be easily taken out of the chamber through the feeding opening for cleaning or maintenance. In the meantime, it can be easily assured that there is no BBs remained in the toy gun so as to prevent accidental discharging. With the present invention, the prior arts' problems such as small capacity for BBs, and the troublesome and dangerous resupply of BBs are resolved.
- The foregoing objectives and summary provide only a brief introduction to the present invention. To fully appreciate these and other objects of the present invention as well as the invention itself, all of which will become apparent to those skilled in the art, the following detailed description of the invention and the claims should be read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Throughout the specification and drawings identical reference numerals refer to identical or similar parts.
- Many other advantages and features of the present invention will become manifest to those versed in the art upon making reference to the detailed description and the accompanying sheets of drawings in which a preferred structural embodiment incorporating the principles of the present invention is shown by way of illustrative example.

FIGS. 2A and 2B depict a toy gun incorporating the present invention. As illustrated, the toy gun does not have a magazine. As further shown inFIGS. 3 to 6 , anammunition supply device 2 according to an embodiment of the present invention is detachably plugged into achamber 11 inside the toy gun'sbody 1. Thechamber 11 is separated from the rest of thebody 1 at least by apartition plate 12. Theammunition supply device 2 has abullet inlet 24 open to thechamber 11 and abullet outlet 25 connected to thebullet inlet 24. Theammunition supply device 2 contains atransmission module 21, aloading module 22 interacting with thetransmission module 21, and agathering module 23 interacting with theloading module 22. Thegathering module 23 has at least avibration member 231 on at least one side. Theloading module 22 has at least aforwarding member 221 on at least one side. Thetransmission module 21 contains at least anelastic element 211, and is partially exposed out of thechamber 11. Thebody 1 has afeeding opening 13 connected to thechamber 11, and thefeeding opening 13 is covered by aremovable cover 14. Thecover 14 has at least abuckle 141 on at least one side. The toy gun's BBs are stored in theammunition supply device 2 and thechamber 11 without a magazine. The toy gun therefore closely resembles a real rife. - The operation of the present invention is described as follows, as shown in
FIGS. 2A to 11 . As illustrated inFIG. 7 ,BBs 3 are supplied to the toy gun through thefeeding opening 13 into thechamber 11. As illustrated inFIG. 8 , thefeeding opening 13 is then sealed by thecover 14 which is locked by thebuckle 141. To store the energy for firing theBBs 3, the exposed part of thetransmission module 21 is twisted as shown inFIG. 9 . Theelastic element 211 then stores the kinetic energy for firing and loading the BBs. As theelastic element 211 releases the stored energy, thetransmission module 21 is engaged. Thetransmission module 21 in turn engages theloading module 22, which in turn engages thegathering module 23. As shown inFIG. 10 , theBBs 3 stored in thechamber 11 moves automatically towards thebullet inlet 24 due to gravity and then enters theammunition supply device 2. Then, as thetransmission module 21 operates, thegathering module 23 is turned as well. In the meantime, thevibration member 23 causes theBBs 3 to have slight movement and vibration through contacting with them so that theBBs 3 do not jam. The forwardingmember 221 on theloading module 22 forces theBBs 3 to move towards thebullet outlet 25 for firing. As shown inFIG. 11 , after firing, theammunition supply device 2 can be easily taken out of thechamber 11 through thefeeding opening 13 after removing thecover 14 for cleaning or maintenance. In the meantime, it can be easily assured that there is noBBs 3 remained in the toy gun so as to prevent accidental discharging. - Another detachable
ammunition supply device 2 a according to another embodiment of the present invention is shown inFIG. 12 . As illustrated, theammunition supply device 2 a contains atransmission module 21 a which is automatically powered by apower module 212 a without manually twisting thetransmission module 21 a as described in the previous embodiment. - Compared to the prior arts, the present invention has the following advantages.
- Firstly, the ammunition supply device can be conveniently disassembled from the toy gun so that quick cleaning, speedy maintenance, and enhanced safety are achieved.
- Secondly, the significantly increased bullet capacity of the toy gun is achieved jointly by the chamber and the ammunition supply device.
- Thirdly, with the chamber and the ammunition supply device, the toy gun does not require a magazine and therefore can highly resemble a real, old-fashioned rifle and therefore achieves better customer attraction.
- While certain novel features of this invention have been shown and described and are pointed out in the annexed claim, it is not intended to be limited to the details above, since it will be understood that various omissions, modifications, substitutions and changes in the forms and details of the device illustrated and in its operation can be made by those skilled in the art without departing in any way from the spirit of the present invention.
