Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a toy gun recoil generating device, especially to a toy gun recoil generating device used for simulating recoil of a real gun when the toy gun is fired.
  • a conventional toy gun only provides bullet feeding and shooting functions.
  • the conventional toy gun only simulates the appearance but not the shooting effect of a genuine firearm. Thus users get tired of playing the conventional toy gun very easily.
  • document EP 2 388 547 A2 relates to a conventional toy gun and discloses a backlash vibration mechanism used therein that enables the disarm mechanism being moved synchronously with the backlash vibration mechanism.
  • a toy gun recoil generating device includes a frame and a barrel connected to each other.
  • a handle and a trigger group are disposed on the lower side of the frame while a piston chamber is formed within the frame.
  • An action piston is mounted in the piston chamber in such a manner that it is normally pushed by a first spring to move forward.
  • the action piston is connected to the trigger group. When a trigger of the trigger group is pressed, the connection of the action piston to the trigger group enables a gear set of the trigger group first to drive the action piston to move backward translationally and properly.
  • a scope mount base and a fixing seat are disposed over the frame and located on a front part and a rear part of the frame respectively.
  • An insertion hole is formed on the center of the scope mount base, allowing a slide to be connected with the scope mount base after being inserted tinto the insertion hole.
  • a bolt is mounted in the slide and located between the slide and the fixing seat in such a manner that it is normally extended by the elastic force of a second spring.
  • a connecting block in form of a barbed hook is protruding from a top side on a rear part of the action piston.
  • a horizontal board is extending backwards from the bottom edge of the slide and a slot is formed thereon along the length direction of the horizontal board.
  • the connecting block is inserted into the slot and extending from the same so that the connecting block can be moved within the slot by the gear set of the trigger group.
  • the action piston moves translationally.
  • the slide is further driven by the action piston to move backward when the action piston is moved backward as far as the connecting block gets in contact with the rear edge of the slot.
  • the gear set is turned to the idle running segment, the first spring and the second spring bring the action piston and the slide back respectively.
  • the bolt includes a first U-shaped rod and a second U-shaped rod that are successively inserted in each other and thus connected with each other with theircurved sections.
  • the first U-shaped rod and the second U-shaped rod are telescopically adjustable.
  • the second spring mounted between the first U-shaped rod and the second U-shaped rod Owing to the second spring mounted between the first U-shaped rod and the second U-shaped rod, the first U-shaped rod and the second U-shaped rod are limited and stopped by each other at the curved sections thereof while being extended by the second spring. Thereby the toy gun recoil generating device is provided.
  • the toy gun recoil generating device Compared with the prior art, the toy gun recoil generating device according to the present invention generates a recoil effect that simulates the recoil of a live firearm.
  • users enjoy playing the toy gun like firing the real gun, without getting tired of the toy gun.
  • the elastic force of the second spring brings the first U-shaped rod back synchronously.
  • the first U-shaped rod is returned to the maximum travel position, sounds and vibrations are produced in collisions between the curved section of the first U-shaped rod and the second U-shaped rod for simulating those of a real gunshot.
  • a toy gun includes a frame 10 and a barrel 20 connected to each other.
  • a handle 11 and a trigger group 12 are disposed on the lower side of the frame 10 while a piston chamber 13 is formed with the frame 10.
  • An action piston 40 is mounted in the piston chamber 13 in such a manner that it is normally pushed by a first spring 30 to move forward.
  • the action piston 40 is connected to the trigger group 12.
  • a trigger 121 of the trigger group 12 When a trigger 121 of the trigger group 12 is pressed, the connection of the action piston 40 to the trigger group 12 enables a gear set 122 of the trigger group 12 first to drive the action piston 40 to move backward translationally and properly.
  • a scope mount base 14 and a fixing seat 15 are disposed over the frame 10 and arranged at a front part and a rear part of the frame 10 respectively.
  • An insertion hole 141 is formed on the center of the scope mount base 14, allowing a slide 50 to be connected with the scope mount base 14 after being inserted into the insertion hole.
  • a bolt 60 is mounted in the slide und located between the slide 50 and the fixing seat 15 in such a manner that it is normally extended by the elastic force of a second spring.
  • a connecting block 41 in form of a barbed hook is protruding from a top side on a rear part of the action piston 40.
  • a horizontal board 51 is extending backwards from the bottom edge of the slide 50 and a slot 52 is formed thereon, along the length direction of the horizontal board 51.
  • the connecting block 41 is inserted into the slot 52 and extending from the same so that the connecting block 41 can be moved within the slot 52 by the gear set 122 of the trigger group 12. Thereby the action piston 40 moves translationally.
  • the slide 50 is further propelled by the action piston 40 to move backward when the action piston 40 is moved backward as far as the connecting block 41 gets in contact with the rear edge of the slot 52.
  • the bolt 60 includes a first U-shaped rod 601 and a second U-shaped rod 602 that are successively inserted in each other and thus connected with each other with their curved sections.
  • the first U-shaped rod 601 and the second U-shaped rod 602 are telescopically adjustable.
  • the second spring 70 disposed between the first U-shaped rod 601 and the second U-shaped rod 602 the first U-shaped rod 601 and the second U-shaped rod 602 are limited and stopped by each other at the curved sections thereof while being extended by the second spring 70.
  • the toy gun is formed in the form of a rifle.
  • the action piston 40 is connected to the gear set 122 by a rack formed on the lower part of the action piston 40.
  • connecting base 21 is slipped on the barrel 20 and an extension portion 61 on the front side of the bolt 60 is inserted through the connecting base 21.
  • the bolt 60 is connected to the slide 50 and the fixing seat 15 respectively by a pin inserted therein.
  • the slide 50 and the horizontal board 51 are integrated into one piece.
  • the slide 50 and the horizontal board 51 are produced separately and then connected by techniques such as welding.
  • the connecting block 41 is formed in such a manner that a ramp inclined from the front side to the rear side of the connecting block 41 is arranged under the hook portion of the connecting block 41.
  • the trigger 121 when the trigger 121 is pressed for propelling the slide 50 backward through the action piston 40, the curved sections of the first U-shaped rod 601 and the second U-shaped rod 602 are moved away from each other and the second spring 70 is compressed at the same time for storing elastic force that brings the first U-shaped rod 601 back, as shown in Fig. 5 .
  • the first spring 30 brings the action piston 40 back, the first U-shaped rod 601 is returned by the elastic force of the second spring 70 synchronously at the moment the bullet is fired.
  • the toy gun recoil generating device When the first U-shaped rod 601 is moved to the maximum travel position, sounds and vibrations are produced in collisions between the curved section of the first U-shaped rod 601 and the second U-shaped rod 602 for simulating those of a real gunshot, as shown in Fig. 6 .
  • the toy gun recoil generating device generates a recoil effect that simulates the recoil of a live firearm. Therefore users enjoy playing the present toy gun and have fun as much as firing the real gun. They never get tired of playing the present toy gun.
