Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an electric toy gun, and more particularly to an electric toy gun for shooting plastic bullets (particularly so-called BB bullets).
  • a conventional electric gun comprises a plurality of pivots and gears therein, so that the power of the motor can be transmitted to the firing mechanism through the pivots and the gears for shooting bullets.
  • the electric gun shoots plastic bullets through compressed air.
  • the weight of one plastic bullet is about 0.12g to 1g.
  • the initial speed of shooting is about 100M/Sec. Therefore, the player cannot feel the recoiling effect when shooting the plastic bullets.
  • a toy gun to simulate the recoiling effect has been developed and is disclosed e.g. in US 2012/138038 A1 .
  • a toy gun By means of a reciprocating movement of the piston or in other ways by generating vibrations, such a toy gun provides a vibration effect when shooting, but it is not like a real recoiling effect.
  • the elastic members (springs) used to push the firing mechanism in the casing of the conventional toy gun will fatigue after a period of time. It is necessary to disassemble the toy gun for maintenance and replacement.
  • the design of the conventional toy gun does not allow taking out the elastic members from the rear end of the casing. It is required to disassemble the whole casing of the toy gun, so the maintenance and replacement are difficult and inconvenient.
  • the electric toy gun (electric toy gun structure) of the present invention comprises a casing, a firing mechanism, a guide pipe, a hit rod, a first elastic member, a second elastic member and a claw.

  • the claw is disposed inside the piston and is configured for releasably catching the first end of the hit rod.
  • the piston is pushed forwards through the elastic force of the first elastic member and the hit rod and weight are synchronously moved to compress the second elastic member.
  • the hit rod and weight are pushed backwards through the elastic force of the first and second elastic member for the weight of the hit rod to hit an end plug coupled to the rear end of the guide pipe.
  • the electric toy gun of the present invention enables a vibration effect like a real gun when shooting bullets and can be disassembled and maintained with ease.
  • the electric toy gun further comprises a tubular stop sleeve.
  • the stop sleeve is fitted on the first end of the hit rod.
  • the second end of the first elastic member abuts against the stop sleeve.
  • the stop sleeve has a first stop portion.

  • a rear end of the guide pipe is coupled with an end plug.
  • the rear end of the guide pipe has third threads therein, and the end plug has fourth threads thereon to engage with the third threads.
  • the weight of the hit rod will hit the end plug to provide a vibration effect like a real gun to shoot bullets.
  • the end plug can be detached from the guide pipe to take out the hit rod, the shaft sleeve, the stop sleeve, the first elastic member, and the second elastic member to replace the elastic members, so that the electric toy gun according to the present invention can be disassembled and maintained with ease.
  • the electric toy gun (electric toy gun structure) for shooting plastic bullets (BB bullets) comprises a casing 1, a firing mechanism 2, a guide pipe 4, a hit rod 5, a first elastic member 6, and a second elastic member 7.
