Abstract
Description
- The present invention generally relates to a structure for use in a BB gun to simulate loading bullets in a magazine of a real gun, and more particularly to a simulation bullet includable BB bullet magazine that provides fun and is easy to operate.
- A toy gun is a common toy, which uses a mechanical structure to shoot BB bullets in order to simulate the shooting of a real gun to achieve the purpose of playing.
- With the progress of the modern society, the structures of the toy guns get more elaborate and more complicated in order to provide a player with the experience of operating a real gun. Thus, the manufacturers have been devoted themselves to the improvement of every detail.
- However, no matter how the toy gun has been made to mimic a real gun, the object shot therefrom is different from a real bullet. This will affect the structure of the bullet magazine. For a bullet magazine of a real gun, since the bullet is composed of a projectile and a case and the structure of a magazine is made to correspond thereto. On the other hand, the magazine of a toy gun is structured to receive BB bullets in a bullet chute. For the purposes of mimicking, it is desired to provide a bullet magazine of a toy gun that provides a player with the perception of loading bullets similar to real bullet. This is a challenge to the manufacturers of the industry and the present inventor.
- In view of the above problems, through intense research and study of related information, as well as repeated trials and corrections, a novel design of a simulation bullet includable BB bullet magazine is achieved according to the present invention.
- An object of the present invention is that an enclosure is structured to receive an internal receptacle therein and an elastic element is provided to allow the internal receptacle to slide up and down in the enclosure, whereby the operation of loading a simulation bullet provides a sense of operating a real gun in the use and operation thereof Loading the simulation bullet causes the internal receptacle to be pressed down and pushing the simulation bullet out of the enclosure allows the elastic element to bias the internal receptacle to an operation position. With such a technique, the problem that the conventional toy gun magazine does not provide a sense of operating a real gun can be overcome and an advantage of being interesting and easy to operate can be achieved.
- To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a simulation bullet includable BB bullet magazine, which comprises an enclosure in which an elastic element is arranged, an internal receptacle slidably received in the enclosure, and at least one simulation bullet movably receivable in the enclosure. The internal receptacle has an end coupled to the elastic element and the simulation bullet is arranged to contact the end of the internal receptacle that is distant from the elastic element.
- With such a structure, BB bullets of the toy gun are first loaded into the internal receptacle and then the simulation bullet is loaded into the enclosure. Under this condition, the internal receptacle is depressed by the simulation bullet to move towards the lower end of the enclosure. With such a structure, simulation of the sense of operation and interesting of loading a real gun is realized. When the simulation bullet is pushed out of the enclosure, the internal receptacle is caused by the action of the elastic element to slide upwards so that the internal receptacle may get to a ready-to-shoot position and get ready to shoot the BB bullets. As such, an advantage of being interesting and easy to operate can be achieved.
- 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.

FIG. 3 is a schematic view showing an operation of the preferred embodiment of the present invention. -
FIG. 4 is a schematic view showing the operation of the preferred embodiment of the present invention. -
FIG. 5 is a schematic view showing the operation of the preferred embodiment of the present invention. - The following descriptions are exemplary embodiments only, and are not intended to limit the scope, applicability or configuration of the invention in any way. Rather, the following description provides a convenient illustration for implementing exemplary embodiments of the invention. Various changes to the described embodiments may be made in the function and arrangement of the elements described without departing from the scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.
- Referring to
FIGS. 1 ,2 ,3 ,4 , and5 , which are respectively a perspective view and an exploded view of a preferred embodiment of the present invention and schematic views showing an operation of the preferred embodiment of the present invention, these drawings clearly show that the present invention comprises: - an
enclosure 1, theenclosure 1 having an end forming anopening 11 and an end that is distant from theopening 11 and has an inside wall on which anelastic element 13 is mounted, aconstraint section 12 being provided at theopening 11, theenclosure 1 having two opposite sides each of which comprises a transparent material; - an
internal receptacle 2 that is received in theenclosure 1 and is up-and-down slidable, theinternal receptacle 2 comprising abullet supply channel 21 formed therein to receive and holdBB bullets 4, thebullet supply channel 21 comprising acompression spring 22 arranged therein to bias theBB bullets 4 toward a bullet supply channel opening 211, theinternal receptacle 2 further comprising twoopposite decoration plates 23 attached to two opposite sides thereof, an end of theinternal receptacle 2 that is distant from the bullet supply channel opening 211 being coupled to theelastic element 13; and - at least one
simulation bullet 3 movably receivable in theenclosure 1, thesimulation bullet 3 being in contact with the end of theinternal receptacle 2 that is associated with the bullet supply channel opening 211. - With the above-described structure, together with the following description of an operation of the present invention, the details of the operation of the simulation bullet includable BB bullet magazine according to the present invention can be better understood. Referring to
FIG. 3 , which illustrates theenclosure 1 in a condition where nosimulation bullet 3 is included. It can be clearly seen from the drawing, theinternal receptacle 2 is driven by theelastic element 13 so that theinternal receptacle 2 is moved to a ready-to-shoot position. TheBB bullets 4 received in thebullet supply channel 21 are also driven by thecompression spring 22 to the bullet supply channel opening 211 to be ready for subsequent bullet loading. Referring toFIG. 4 , which shows theenclosure 1 in a condition of loading thesimulation bullet 3, to load asimulation bullet 3 into theenclosure 1, theinternal receptacle 2 is first moved in a direction toward the lower end of theenclosure 1 to provide a space for receiving and containing thesimulation bullet 3. At this situation, theelastic element 13 is about to be compressed to allow thesimulation bullet 3 to be inserted through theopening 11 into theenclosure 1. When the loading of thesimulation bullet 3 is completed, theinternal receptacle 2 is acted upon by theelastic element 13 so that theinternal receptacle 2 is pushed toward theopening 11 and thesimulation bullet 3 is forced by theinternal receptacle 2 to move upwards and, together with position constraint imposed by theconstraint section 12, thesimulation bullet 3 is securely retained on theinternal receptacle 2. This, together with the arrangement of thedecoration plate 23, provides an overall view exactly similar to a real bullet magazine. Besides providing the visual perception of a real device, the present invention also provides an operation of loading bullet that allows a user to experience of loading a real gun. Referring toFIG. 5 , which shows a condition where asimulation bullet 3 is pushed out of theenclosure 1, due to the arrangement and design of theconstraint section 12 are exactly identical to a bullet retaining lip of a real gun, thesimulation bullet 3 is only allowed to be pushed out in a frontward direction. When one ofmultiple simulation bullets 3 received in the enclosure is pushed out, the internal space of theenclosure 1 is relatively enlarged and theinternal receptacle 2 is acted upon by theelastic element 13 to simultaneously move in a direction toward theopening 11. When thesimulation bullets 3 have been all pushed out, theinternal receptacle 2 reaches the ready-to-shoot position, as what described with reference toFIG. 3 so that no further description will be given here. As such, with such an arrangement and operation, an innovated, brand new structure of a toy gun for use withsimulation bullets 3, where a user may experience the interesting and feeling of operation of loading a real gun with real bullets. Further, the transparent materials included in theenclosure 1 and the arrangement of thedecoration plates 23 provides the perception of an overall view of a real gun magazine. Further, with the arrangement of theinternal receptacle 2 in combination with theelastic element 13, loading and unloading of thesimulation bullet 3 are easy and convenient so that an advantage of interesting and easy operation according to the present invention can be achieved. - Thus, the technical features that the simulation bullet includable BB bullet magazine according to the present invention adopt to improve the drawbacks of the conventional devices are as follows:
- An
enclosure 1 is structured to receive and hold therein aninternal receptacle 2 andsimulation bullets 3. Aconstraint section 12 and anelastic element 13 are provided so that loading and unloading of thesimulation bullets 3 are such that the sense of operation and interesting are exactly the same as loading bullets in a real gun. Further, the operation mode that theinternal receptacle 2 is slidable up and down within theenclosure 1 makes it not greatly different from the existing ones so that a user does not need to adapt to the new device so that the advantage of being interesting and easy to operate can be achieved. - It will be understood that each of the elements described above, or two or more together may also find a useful application in other types of methods differing from the type described above.
- 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.
