- FR 2 328 373 A7 describes a toy pistol with a spring to fire projectiles.
- a locking device holds the spring in its compressed state and is released by a trigger mechanism.
- WO 2014/054944 A1 describes a toy crossbow having a stock, a bow attached to the stock, a bowstring attached to the ends of the bow, and a holding mechanism for holding the bowstring in a cocked position, and a trigger mechanism for releasing the bowstring.
- U.S. 9,766,032 B1 describes a crossbow with a carrier, a bow, a string drawing unit, a trigger unit and a safety unit.
- DE 199 05042 A1 describes an electric trigger for small arms with a shot release circuit and an electrical safety circuit which interrupts the shot release circuit when the current aiming direction of the weapon is outside at least a predetermined permissible angle range.
- FR 1 060 690 A describes a toy firearm having a stock and barrel covered by a U-shaped channel and a firing loop released by a trigger.
- the object of the present invention is to provide an alternative or improved toy gun with which, in particular, only a projectile intended for use with the toy gun can be fired.
- a toy gun is for accelerating a projectile in a target direction, i. H. for launching the projectile, and comprising: a barrel guiding the projectile in the target direction and a firing mechanism with a manually operable trigger which is arranged such that the firing mechanism is fired when the trigger is pulled in order to accelerate the projectile.
- the toy gun also includes a locking device that can be brought into a locking position and into a release position that differs from the locking position, the locking device being designed to act on the trigger so that the trigger cannot be actuated when the locking device is in the locking position, and that the trigger is operable when the locking device is in the release position.

- the barrel 4 extends in the sighting direction Z from a rear or first end 4a to a front or second end 4b, the bow (not shown) being attached to the second end 4b of the barrel 4 and the first end 4a of the barrel 4 merges into a handle 5 of the toy crossbow 1 .
- the barrel 4 and the handle 5 of the toy crossbow 1 can be made of wood, for example.
- the bow can be made of spring steel, for example, and the string 3 can be a plastic string, for example.
- the barrel 4 has a channel 6 on its upper side which extends in the target direction Z from the first end 4a to the second end 4b.
- a cover 7 made of plastic or wood, for example, is optionally provided on the channel 6, which covers the channel 6 upwards, with the exception of a slot 8 provided in the cover 7 locked.
- the slot 8 is elongate, with its longitudinal direction extending in the target direction Z, and has a slot width d transverse to the target direction Z.

- a suction cup 22 is provided at the second shaft end 2b and at the first end 2a the shaft 21 has four wings 23a, 23b, 23c, 23d extending essentially in the longitudinal direction.
- 2b only the upper wing 23a and the downward wing 23c can be seen.
- the wings 23a, 23b, 23c, 23d have a wing thickness (not shown) transversely to the longitudinal direction of the shaft 21, which is many times smaller than the length of the wings 23a, 23b, 23c, 23d in the longitudinal direction of the shaft 21.
- the wing thickness is slightly smaller than the slot width d of the slot 8 of the cover 7 of the barrel 4 of the toy crossbow 1, so that a wing 23a, 23b, 23c, 23d can be introduced into the slot 8.
- the four wings 23a, 23b, 23c, 23d are preferably arranged at regular intervals from one another along the circumference of the shaft 21. ie adjacent vanes preferably enclose an angle of essentially 90°.
- the bolt 2 optionally has a guide washer 24, the diameter of which is slightly smaller than a width of the groove 6 of the barrel 4 of the toy crossbow 1 perpendicular to the aiming direction Z.
- the bolt 2 is shown in the channel 6 of the toy crossbow 1 at a distance from the cover 7 provided on the channel 6 .
- a recess 10 is provided in the region of the first end 4a of the barrel 4 below the groove 6 or the cover 7, into which a manually operable section of a trigger 30 of the toy crossbow 1 protrudes, e.g.
- the trigger 30 is rotatably mounted about a trigger axis A and has a protruding section 32 which protrudes from the barrel 4 or the grip 5 behind the projection 9 (see also 1 ) and is preferably in contact with the taut tendon 3 (see Fig. Figure 2b ).
- the trigger 30 has a contact surface 31 facing the blocking device 40 .
- the trigger 30 and the locking device 40 can be made of plastic, for example.
- the trigger 30 and the locking device 40 are provided essentially inside the barrel 4, with the exception of the projecting portion 32 and the portion of the trigger 30 which projects into the recess 10 of the barrel.
- the barrel 4 has an intermediate space 12 (see Figure 2b ), wherein a thickness of the trigger 30 and a thickness of the blocking device 40 perpendicular to the target direction Z essentially correspond to a thickness of the gap 12 perpendicular to the target direction Z.
- the trigger 30 and the locking device 40 are formed as thin plates.
- the locking device 40 is provided in an area between the recess 10 and the channel 6 and has a stop surface 41, which is in FIG Figures 2a and 2b shown locking position of the locking device 40 with the contact surface 31 of the trigger 30 is in contact.
- the locking device 40 also has an actuating section 42 which is designed to come into contact with the bolt 2 (see Fig. Figures 4a, 4b ).
- the locking device 40 is rotatably mounted about a locking device axis S.
- a center of gravity section 43 of the locking device 40 is arranged opposite the stop surface 41 and the actuating section 42 with respect to the locking device axis S and a center of gravity (centre of mass) MS of the locking device 40 lies in the center of gravity section 43 Figures 2a and 2b shown locking position of the locking device 40, the focus section 43 is provided in an area below the axis S of the locking device. Without the action of external forces, the locking device 40 takes its in by itself, ie under the influence of gravity Figures 2a, 2b locking position shown.
- the center of gravity MS of the locking device 40 in the locking position is below the locking device axis S and offset from a vertical straight line g running through the locking device axis S, as in FIG Figure 2b shown.
- the center of gravity MS is more preferably on the side of the straight line g opposite the trigger 30 (see Fig. Figure 2b ).
- a limiting element 11 is optionally provided inside the barrel 4 in order to limit a movement, in particular a tilting, of the locking device 40 .
- a portion of the lower edge of the gap 12 serves as the restriction member 11, but the restriction member 11 may be formed separately from the gap 12.
- the locking device 40 In the locked position (see Figures 2a, 2b ) the locking device 40 rests against the delimiting element 11 and is pressed against the delimiting element 11 by the effect of gravity and is thus held in the locking position. In the locked position, the stop surface 41 of the locking device 40 is in contact with the contact surface 31 of the trigger 30 in order to prevent a movement of the trigger 30, in particular a rotary movement of the trigger 30 about the trigger axis A. Thus, the trigger 30 cannot be actuated, ie blocked or locked.
- the operation of the toy crossbow 1 is first described below with reference to FIG 3 , 4a and 4b described.
- the bolt 2 is brought into an intended firing position and the blocking device 40 is thereby brought into a release position.
- the bolt 2 In the intended firing position, the bolt 2, as in 3 shown, is provided at the end of the channel 6 adjacent the first end 4a of the barrel 4, ie the downwardly pointing wing 23c of the bolt 2 is fitted in the slot 8 (see Fig. 1 ) of the cover 7 and engages in the bottom slot (not shown in the figures) of the channel 7.
- the wings 23b, 23d pointing to the sides are provided above the cover 7 or rest on it.
- the downward-pointing wing 23c of the bolt 2 pushes the actuating section 42 of the locking device 40 downwards and causes the locking device 40 to rotate about the locking device axis S, so that the center of gravity portion 43 of the locking device 40 is lifted and the abutment surface 41 of the locking device 40 moves away from the contact surface 31 of the trigger 30 moves away and is no longer in contact with it.
- the locking device 40 is now in the in Figures 4a and 4b shown release position in which it no longer prevents the trigger 30 in its movement, in particular a rotary movement about the trigger axis A. As a result, the trigger 30 is released, ie it can be actuated.
- the slot 8 of the cover 7 ensures that only projectiles or bolts that have at least one suitable wing (wings 23a, 23b, 23c, 23d in the present example) can be introduced into the channel 6 of the barrel 4 in the firing position .
- the trigger 30 When the toy crossbow 1 is in operation, the trigger 30 is then actuated in order to accelerate the bolt 2 in the Z target direction.
- the trigger 30 is actuated, for example, by pulling the trigger 30 with a finger of a user (not shown in the figures) engaging in the recess 10 . Pulling the trigger 30 rotates the trigger 30 about the trigger axis A and the protruding portion 32 tilts up and/or towards the second end 4b of the barrel 4 so that the protruding portion 32 pulls the string 3 over the protrusion 9 of the barrel 4 lifts.
- the tendon 3 is thus released so that it slides on the upper edge of the groove 6 towards the second end 4b of the barrel 4, ie in the target direction Z, and accelerates the bolt 2 along the barrel 4 in the target direction Z. With this acceleration of the bolt 2, it is optionally pushed through the guide disk 24 in the groove 6 guided.
- the locking device 40 is also rotated further about its locking device axis S and the center of gravity section 43 is further raised, so that the center of gravity section 43 is aligned essentially horizontally.
- FIGs 5a, 5b 1 shows the condition of the toy crossbow 1 in which the trigger 30 has just been pulled (the user's finger is not shown in the figures), ie in which the trigger 30 is tilted forward and the center of gravity portion 43 of the locking device 40 is oriented substantially horizontally is.
- the tendon 3 has already moved away from the projection 9 and accordingly the bolt 2 has already moved out of its intended firing position (cf. Figures 4a, 4b ) removed.
- the trigger 30 is then released again, i.e. the finger no longer touches the trigger 30 (not shown in the figures), the trigger 30, due to the force of gravity acting on it, returns to its in position through a further rotation about the trigger axis A Figures 2a, 2b shown starting position.
- the locking device 40 due to the force of gravity acting on it, returns to its in position by a further rotation about the locking device axis S Figures 2a, 2b locked position shown.
- the trigger 30 and the projection 9 of the barrel 4 with the tendon 3 form a shot release mechanism in which the tensioned tendon 3 is held by the projection 9 and is released by actuating the trigger 30 so that, due to the pretension of the tendon 3, springs forward to assume its slack position and thereby the projectile, d. H. the bolt 2, accelerated.
- the invention is not limited to such a shot release mechanism. Rather, modifications of the firing mechanism are possible.
- the barrel 4 of the toy crossbow 1 described above can be designed without the projection 9 and the tensioned string 3 is held by a correspondingly designed section of the trigger and released by actuating the trigger.
- the locking device 40 After the trigger 30 is actuated or released again, the locking device 40 returns to its locking position due to the force of gravity acting on it and is held in the locking position by gravity. In the toy crossbow described above, this is achieved in that the center of gravity MS of the locking device 40 is arranged opposite the stop surface 41 and the actuating section 42 in relation to the locking device axis S (see above).
- a holding device is provided which is designed to hold the blocking device in the blocking position and/or bring it into the blocking position.
- the holding device preferably comprises a detachable connection.
- the holding device is preferably designed in such a way that it exerts a holding force (eg a magnetic force and/or a tension force of a spring) on the locking device, which causes the locking device to be brought back into the locking position and/or held in this position.
- the holding force is dimensioned in such a way that it is overcome by bringing the projectile into the intended firing position (see above) in order to release the trigger.
- the holding device can comprise a magnet and/or a spring, by means of which the locking device can be brought into the locking position and/or held in this position.
- a magnet can act, for example, between the stop surface 41 of the blocking device 40 and the contact surface 31 of the trigger 30 .
- a spring as a holding device can, for example, be designed as a spiral spring and be attached to the position of the locking device axis S.
- the toy crossbow described above can be modified and/or further developed in various ways.
- the toy crossbow may be provided without the cover 7 provided with the slot 8 described above.
- the invention can be applied to toy firearms other than a toy crossbow, for example toy rifles and/or toy pistols.
- the firing mechanism for accelerating the projectile may comprise a spring instead of the drawn string of the bow of the toy crossbow.
- the invention can be applied to all toy firearms in which the firing mechanism includes a manually actuatable trigger and is designed such that actuating the trigger triggers the firing mechanism to fire a shot or to accelerate the projectile in the target direction.
- FIG. 6 shows a toy crossbow 1' according to a development of the present invention.
- the description of the same elements is not repeated again and the same or similar elements of the 6 shown toy crossbow 1 'are provided with the same reference numerals as the elements in relation to Figures 1 to 5b described toy crossbow 1.
- the toy crossbow 1' also has a holding device 50 in the form of a small plate made of plastic, for example, or a thin wire.
- the holding device extends from a first end 50a to a second end 50b, the first end 50a being attached to the lower edge of the intermediate space 12 serving as the delimiting element 11 (cf. Figure 2b ) of the barrel 4 and the second end 50b abuts the ratchet 40.
- the retaining device 50 has a curvature or bend between the first end 50a and the second end 50b, which causes the retaining device 50 to exert a force on the locking device 40 in order to position the locking device 40 in the position shown in FIG 6 hold the locked position shown.
- the holding device 50 is bent even more between its two ends 50a, 50b (not shown in the figures), as a result of which the force on the locking device 40 is further increased. If the trigger 30 is then released again, the force acting on the locking device 40 through the holding device 50 causes the locking device 40 to move again into the in 6 blocking position shown occupies.
- the holding device 50 can be designed as a spring, preferably a leaf spring.
- the holding device 50 thus holds the blocking device 40 in the blocking position and brings it back into the blocking position after a shot has been fired.
- the force which the holding device 50 acts on the locking device 40 in the locking position must consequently be overcome in order to bring the locking device 40 into the release position. This can be done in particular by inserting bolt 2 (see e.g Figures 4a, 4b ) to the firing position.

Eine derartige Spielzeugschusswaffe kann beispielsweise als Spielzeugarmbrust ausgebildet sein, die aus einem an einem Lauf befestigten Bogen mit einer Sehne zum Abschießen eines Spielzeugbolzens ausgebildet ist. Die Sehne des Bogens wird dabei an einem Vorsprung des Laufs und/oder durch einen Abzug in einem gespannten Zustand gehalten und durch Betätigen des Abzugs freigegeben, sodass sie den Spielzeugbolzen entlang des Laufs beschleunigt.Such a toy firearm can be designed, for example, as a toy crossbow, which is designed from a bow attached to a barrel with a string for firing a toy bolt. The string of the bow is held in a taut condition by a protrusion of the barrel and/or by a trigger and is released by pulling the trigger so that it accelerates the toy bolt along the barrel.
Bei einer derartigen Spielzeugarmbrust besteht die Gefahr, dass Fremdkörper, d. h. andere Geschossene als ein zur Verwendung mit der Spielzeugarmbrust vorgesehener Spielzeugbolzen, mit der Spielzeugarmbrust verwendet wird, was u. A. zu einer Verletzung von Personen und/oder einer Sachbeschädigungen führen kann. Auch bei anderen Spielzeugschusswaffen wie beispielsweise einer Spielzeugpistole, welche mit einer Spielzeugkugel als Projektil verwendet wird, und/oder einem Spielzeuggewehr ist es aus Sicherheitsgründen wünschenswert, eine Verwendung mit nicht bestimmungsgemäßen Geschossen zu verhindern.With such a toy crossbow there is a risk that foreign objects, i. H. projectiles other than a toy bolt intended for use with the toy crossbow, which may cause, among other things, personal injury and/or property damage. In the case of other toy firearms, such as a toy pistol, which is used with a toy ball as the projectile, and/or a toy gun, it is also desirable for safety reasons to prevent use with non-intended projectiles.
Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht darin, eine alternative bzw. verbesserte Spielzeugschusswaffe bereitzustellen, mit der insbesondere ausschließlich ein zur Verwendung mit der Spielzeugschusswaffe bestimmungsgemäß vorgesehenes Projektil abgefeuert werden kann.The object of the present invention is to provide an alternative or improved toy gun with which, in particular, only a projectile intended for use with the toy gun can be fired.
Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch eine Spielzeugschusswaffe gemäß Anspruch 1. Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.This object is solved by a toy gun according to
Eine erfindungsgemäße Spielzeugschusswaffe dient zum Beschleunigen eines Projektils in eine Zielrichtung, d. h. zum Abschießen des Projektils, und umfasst: einen das Projektil in die Zielrichtung führenden Lauf und einen Schussauslösemechanismus mit einem manuell betätigbaren Abzug, der derart ausgebildet ist, dass der Schussauslösemechanismus bei Betätigung des Abzugs ausgelöst wird um das Projektil zu beschleunigen. Weiter umfasst die Spielzeugschusswaffe eine Sperreinrichtung, die in eine Sperrposition und in eine von der Sperrposition verschiedene Freigabeposition bringbar ist, wobei die Sperreinrichtung dazu ausgebildet ist auf den Abzug einzuwirken, sodass der Abzug nicht betätigbar ist, wenn die Sperreinrichtung in der Sperrposition ist, und dass der Abzug betätigbar ist, wenn die Sperreinrichtung in der Freigabeposition ist. Mit einer derartigen Spielzeugschusswaffe ist es beispielsweise möglich, eine Schussabgabe zu verhindern, wenn die Sperreinrichtung in der Sperrposition ist und somit den Abzug sperrt. Dadurch kann beispielsweise die Sicherheit der Spielzeugschusswaffe erhöht werden.A toy gun according to the present invention is for accelerating a projectile in a target direction, i. H. for launching the projectile, and comprising: a barrel guiding the projectile in the target direction and a firing mechanism with a manually operable trigger which is arranged such that the firing mechanism is fired when the trigger is pulled in order to accelerate the projectile. The toy gun also includes a locking device that can be brought into a locking position and into a release position that differs from the locking position, the locking device being designed to act on the trigger so that the trigger cannot be actuated when the locking device is in the locking position, and that the trigger is operable when the locking device is in the release position. With such a toy gun it is possible, for example, to prevent a shot being fired when the blocking device is in the blocking position and thus blocks the trigger. As a result, for example, the safety of the toy gun can be increased.
Vorzugsweise wird die Sperreinrichtung durch Einwirken von Schwerkraft in der Sperrposition gehalten und/oder ist durch Einwirken von Schwerkraft in die Sperrposition bringbar. Somit ist beispielsweise ein einfach zu realisierender Mechanismus zum Sichern der Spielzeugschusswaffe bzw. zum Sperren und Freigeben des Abzugs bereitgestellt.The blocking device is preferably held in the blocking position by the action of gravity and/or can be brought into the blocking position by the action of gravity. Thus, for example, an easy-to-implement mechanism for securing the toy gun or for locking and releasing the trigger is provided.
Erfindungsgemäß umfasst die Spielzeugschusswaffe eine Halteeinrichtung, wobei die Halteeinrichtung dazu ausgebildet ist, die Sperreinrichtung in der Sperrposition zu halten und/oder in die Sperrposition zu bringen. Die Halteeinrichtung umfasst vorzugsweise eine lösbare Verbindung. Beispielsweise kann die Sperreinrichtung mittels eines Magneten und/oder einer Feder in die Sperrposition gebracht und/oder in dieser gehalten werden. Weiter bevorzugt weist die Halteeinrichtung ein erstes Ende auf, welches an dem Lauf angebracht ist, und ein zweites Ende, welches an der Sperreinrichtung anliegt um eine Kraft, insbesondere eine Federkraft, auf die Sperreinrichtung auszuüben.According to the invention, the toy gun comprises a holding device, the holding device being designed to hold the blocking device in the blocking position and/or bring it into the blocking position. The holding device preferably comprises a detachable connection. For example, the blocking device can be brought into the blocking position and/or held in this position by means of a magnet and/or a spring. More preferably, the holding device has a first end, which is attached to the barrel, and a second end, which bears against the locking device in order to exert a force, in particular a spring force, on the locking device.
Erfindungsgemäß ist die Sperreinrichtung um eine Drehachse drehbar gelagert und durch eine Drehung um die Drehachse von der Sperrposition in die Freigabeposition und/oder von der Freigabeposition in die Sperrposition bringbar. Dadurch ist beispielsweise eine einfach zu realisierende und/oder verschleißarme und/oder kostengünstige Sperreinrichtung für die Spielzeugschusswaffe bereitgestellt.According to the invention, the blocking device is rotatably mounted about an axis of rotation and can be brought from the blocking position into the release position and/or from the release position into the blocking position by rotating about the axis of rotation. This provides, for example, a locking device for the toy gun that is easy to implement and/or low-wear and/or inexpensive.
Erfindungsgemäß ist die Sperreinrichtung durch Einbringen des Projektils in eine bestimmungsgemäße Abschussposition des Projektils von der Sperrposition in die Freigabeposition bringbar, insbesondere indem das Einbringen des Projektils eine Drehung der Sperreinrichtung von der Sperrposition in die Freigabeposition bewirkt. Damit ist es beispielsweise möglich, eine Spielzeugschusswaffe bereitzustellen, bei der eine Schussabgabe ausschließlich dann möglich ist, wenn sich ein Projektil in der bestimmungsgemäßen Abschussposition befindet und somit beispielsweise die Gefahr einer Fehlauslösung zu verringern.According to the invention, the blocking device can be brought from the blocking position into the release position by introducing the projectile into an intended firing position of the projectile, in particular by introducing the projectile causing the blocking device to rotate from the blocking position into the release position. It is thus possible, for example, to provide a toy firearm in which a shot can only be fired when a projectile is in the intended firing position and thus, for example, reduce the risk of false triggering.
Weiter bevorzugt ist die bestimmungsgemäße Abschussposition an einem ersten Ende des Laufs vorgesehen, wobei insbesondere das erste Ende des Laufs ein in Zielrichtung hinteres Ende des Laufs ist, an dem der Lauf beispielsweise in einen Griff der Spielzeugschusswaffe übergeht, wodurch beispielsweise eine größtmögliche Beschleunigungsstrecke für das Projektil bereitgestellt sein kann.More preferably, the intended firing position is provided at a first end of the barrel, with the first end of the barrel in particular being a rear end of the barrel in the target direction, at which the barrel merges into a handle of the toy gun, for example, which means, for example, the greatest possible acceleration distance for the projectile can be provided.
Noch weiter bevorzugt ist das erste Ende des Laufs derart ausgebildet, dass ausschließlich ein für den bestimmungsgemäßen Gebrauch der Spielzeugschusswaffe vorgesehenes Projektil in die bestimmungsgemäße Abschussposition bringbar ist. Dadurch kann beispielsweise ein Einbringen und Abschießen von Fremdkörpern bzw. von nicht für den bestimmungsgemäßen Gebrauch vorgesehenen Projektilen verhindert und somit die Verletzungsgefahr durch die Spielzeugschusswaffe verringert werden. Besonders bevorzugt ist das für den bestimmungsgemäßen Gebrauch der Spielzeugschusswaffe vorgesehene Projektil ein Bolzen, der zumindest einen Flügel mit einer Flügeldicke aufweist, und das erste Ende des Laufs weist eine Abdeckung mit einem Schlitz auf, wobei die Breite des Schlitzes der Abdeckung im Wesentlichen der Flügeldicke entspricht oder geringfügig größer ist als die Flügeldicke. Damit ist es beispielsweise möglich, auf einfache Art und Weise Mittel bereitzustellen, die einen nicht bestimmungsgemäßen Gebrauch der Spielzeugschusswaffe bzw. das Abschießen von nicht für den bestimmungsgemäßen Gebrauch vorgesehenen Projektilen verhindern können.Even more preferably, the first end of the barrel is designed in such a way that only a projectile intended for the intended use of the toy gun can be brought into the intended firing position. In this way, for example, foreign objects or projectiles that are not intended for the intended use can be prevented from being introduced and fired, and the risk of injury from the toy gun can thus be reduced. More preferably, the projectile intended for the intended use of the toy gun is a bolt having at least one wing with a wing thickness, and the first end of the barrel has a cover with a slot, the width of the slot of the cover substantially corresponding to the wing thickness or slightly larger than the wing thickness. This makes it possible, for example, to provide resources in a simple manner that one does not intended use of the toy gun or the firing of projectiles not intended for the intended use.
Vorzugsweise ist die Spielzeugschusswaffe als eine Spielzeugarmbrust und/oder eine Spielzeugpistole und/oder ein Spielzeuggewehr ausgebildet. Damit sind beispielsweise verschiedene Spielzeugschusswaffen bereitgestellt, bei denen vorliegende Erfindung in vorteilhafter Weise zum Einsatz kommen kann.The toy firearm is preferably designed as a toy crossbow and/or a toy pistol and/or a toy gun. This provides, for example, various toy guns in which the present invention can be used to advantage.
Vorzugsweise umfasst der Schussauslösemechanismus zum Beschleunigen des Projektils eine gespannte Sehne eines Bogens und/oder eine Feder. Damit kann beispielsweise ein einfach zu realisierender Schussauslösemechanismus bereitgestellt sein.Preferably, the firing mechanism for accelerating the projectile comprises a taut string of a bow and/or a spring. In this way, for example, a shot release mechanism that is easy to implement can be provided.
Vorzugsweise steht die Sperreinrichtung in der Sperrposition mit dem Abzug in Kontakt. Alternativ oder zusätzlich steht die Sperreinrichtung in der Freigabeposition mit dem Abzug nicht in Kontakt.In the locked position, the locking device is preferably in contact with the trigger. Alternatively or additionally, the locking device is not in contact with the trigger in the release position.

In der bestimmungsgemäßen Abschussposition ist der Bolzen 2, wie in
Der Schlitz 8 der Abdeckung 7 bewirkt dabei, dass nur derartige Geschosse bzw. Bolzen, die zumindest einen geeigneten Flügel (im vorliegenden Beispiel die Flügel 23a, 23b, 23c, 23d) aufweisen, in die Rinne 6 des Laufs 4 in die Abschussposition einbringbar sind.The
Im Betrieb der Spielzeugarmbrust 1 wird anschließend der Abzug 30 betätigt um den Bolzen 2 in die Zielrichtung Z zu beschleunigen. Der Abzug 30 wird beispielsweise durch Ziehen des Abzugs 30 mit einem in die Ausnehmung 10 eingreifenden Finger eines Benutzers (in den Figuren nicht gezeigt) betätigt. Durch das Betätigen des Abzugs 30 wird der Abzug 30 um die Abzugsachse A gedreht und der vorstehende Abschnitt 32 kippt nach oben und/oder in Richtung des zweiten Endes 4b des Laufs 4, sodass der vorstehende Abschnitt 32 die Sehne 3 über den Vorsprung 9 des Laufs 4 hebt. Die Sehne 3 ist somit freigegeben, sodass sie auf dem oberen Rand der Rinne 6 in Richtung des zweiten Endes 4b des Laufs 4, d. h. in Zielrichtung Z, gleitet und den Bolzen 2 entlang des Laufs 4 in Zielrichtung Z beschleunigt. Bei dieser Beschleunigung des Bolzens 2 wird dieser optional durch die Führungsscheibe 24 in der Rinne 6 geführt. Durch das Drehen des Abzugs 30 um die Abzugsachse A wird auch die Sperreinrichtung 40 weiter um ihre Sperreinrichtungsachse S gedreht und der Schwerpunktsabschnitt 43 weiter angehoben, sodass der Schwerpunktsabschnitt 43 im Wesentlichen horizontal ausgerichtet ist.When the

Wird der Abzug 30 anschließend wieder freigegeben, d. h. der Finger berührt den Abzug 30 nicht mehr (in den Figuren nicht gezeigt), so kehrt der Abzug 30, bedingt durch die auf ihn wirkende Schwerkraft, durch eine weitere Drehung um die Abzugsachse A in seine in
Bei der oben beschriebenen Spielzeugarmbrust 1 bilden der Abzug 30 und der Vorsprung 9 des Laufs 4 mit der Sehne 3 einen Schussauslösemechanismus, bei dem die gespannte Sehne 3 durch den Vorsprung 9 gehalten wird und durch Betätigung des Abzugs 30 freigegeben wird, sodass sie, bedingt durch die Vorspannung der Sehne 3, nach vorne schnellt um ihre ungespannte Position einzunehmen und dabei das Projektil, d. h. den Bolzen 2, beschleunigt.In the
Die Erfindung ist jedoch nicht auf einen derartigen Schussauslösemechanismus beschränkt. Vielmehr sind Modifikationen des Schussauslösemechanismus möglich. Beispielsweise kann der Lauf 4 der oben beschriebenen Spielzeugarmbrust 1 ohne den Vorsprung 9 ausgebildet sein und die gespannte Sehne 3 wird durch einen entsprechend ausgebildeten Abschnitt des Abzugs gehalten und durch Betätigung des Abzugs freigegeben.However, the invention is not limited to such a shot release mechanism. Rather, modifications of the firing mechanism are possible. For example, the
In der oben beschriebenen Ausführungsform einer Spielzeugarmbrust kehrt die Sperreinrichtung 40 nach Betätigung bzw. wieder Freigeben des Abzugs 30 durch die auf sie wirkende Schwerkraft in ihre Sperrposition zurück und wird durch die Schwerkraft in der Sperrposition gehalten. Dies ist bei der oben beschriebenen Spielzeugarmbrust dadurch realisiert, dass der Schwerpunkt MS der Sperreinrichtung 40 der Anschlagsfläche 41 und dem Betätigungsabschnitt 42 in Bezug auf die Sperreinrichtungsachse S gegenüberliegend angeordnet ist (s.o.).In the embodiment of a toy crossbow described above, after the
Es sind im Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung jedoch auch alternative und/oder zusätzliche Mechanismen möglich, um die Sperreinrichtung nach einer Schussabgabe wieder in die Sperrposition zu bringen und/oder in der Sperrposition zu halten. Insbesondere kann die Sperreinrichtung durch Einwirken einer anderen Kraft als die Schwerkraft, z.B. einer magnetischen Kraft und/oder einer Spannkraft einer Feder, in der Sperrposition gehalten werden und/oder in die Sperrposition bringbar sein. Erfindungsgemäß ist eine Halteeinrichtung vorgesehen, die dazu ausgebildet ist, die Sperreinrichtung in der Sperrposition zu halten und/oder in die Sperrposition zu bringen. Die Halteeinrichtung umfasst vorzugsweise eine lösbare Verbindung. Die Halteeinrichtung ist vorzugsweise so ausgebildet, dass sie eine Haltekraft (z.B. eine magnetische Kraft und/oder eine Spannkraft einer Feder) auf die Sperreinrichtung ausübt, die bewirkt, dass die Sperreinrichtung wieder in die Sperrposition gebracht und/oder in dieser gehalten wird. Die Haltekraft ist derart bemessen, dass sie durch das Einbringen des Projektils in die bestimmungsgemäße Abschussposition (s.o.) überwunden wird, um den Abzug freizugeben. Beispielsweise kann die Halteeinrichtung einen Magneten und/oder eine Feder umfassen, durch den bzw. die die Sperreinrichtung in die Sperrposition gebracht und/oder in dieser gehalten werden. Ein derartiger Magnet kann beispielsweise zwischen der Anschlagsfläche 41 der Sperreinrichtung 40 und der Kontaktfläche 31 des Abzugs 30 wirken. Eine Feder als Halteeinrichtung kann beispielsweise als Spiralfeder ausgebildet sein und an der Position der Sperreinrichtungsachse S angebracht sein.However, alternative and/or additional mechanisms are also possible within the scope of the present invention in order to bring the blocking device back into the blocking position and/or to hold it in the blocking position after a shot has been fired. In particular, the blocking device can be held in the blocked position and/or brought into the blocked position by the action of a force other than gravity, for example a magnetic force and/or a tensioning force of a spring. According to the invention, a holding device is provided which is designed to hold the blocking device in the blocking position and/or bring it into the blocking position. The holding device preferably comprises a detachable connection. The holding device is preferably designed in such a way that it exerts a holding force (eg a magnetic force and/or a tension force of a spring) on the locking device, which causes the locking device to be brought back into the locking position and/or held in this position. The holding force is dimensioned in such a way that it is overcome by bringing the projectile into the intended firing position (see above) in order to release the trigger. For example, the holding device can comprise a magnet and/or a spring, by means of which the locking device can be brought into the locking position and/or held in this position. Such a magnet can act, for example, between the
Ferner kann die oben beschriebene Spielzeugarmbrust in verschiedener Weise modifiziert und/oder weitergebildet sein. Beispielsweise kann die Spielzeugarmbrust ohne die oben beschriebene, mit dem Schlitz 8 versehene Abdeckung 7 bereitgestellt sein.Furthermore, the toy crossbow described above can be modified and/or further developed in various ways. For example, the toy crossbow may be provided without the
Auch kann die Erfindung auf andere Spielzeugschusswaffen als eine Spielzeugarmbrust angewendet werden, beispielsweise auf Spielzeuggewehre und/oder Spielzeugpistolen. Bei einem Spielzeuggewehr und/oder einer Spielzeugpistole kann der Schussauslösemechanismus zum Beschleunigen des Projektils anstelle der gespannten Sehne des Bogens der Spielzeugarmbrust beispielsweise eine Feder umfassen. Allgemein ist die Erfindung auf alle Spielzeugschusswaffen anwendbar, bei denen der Schussauslösemechanismus einen manuell betätigbaren Abzug umfasst und so ausgebildet ist, dass das Betätigen des Abzugs den Schussauslösemechanismus auslöst um einen Schuss abzugeben bzw. das Projektil in Zielrichtung zu beschleunigen.Also, the invention can be applied to toy firearms other than a toy crossbow, for example toy rifles and/or toy pistols. For example, in a toy rifle and/or pistol, the firing mechanism for accelerating the projectile may comprise a spring instead of the drawn string of the bow of the toy crossbow. In general, the invention can be applied to all toy firearms in which the firing mechanism includes a manually actuatable trigger and is designed such that actuating the trigger triggers the firing mechanism to fire a shot or to accelerate the projectile in the target direction.
Die Spielzeugarmbrust 1' weist zusätzlich eine Halteeinrichtung 50 in Form eines Plättchens, das beispielsweise aus Kunststoff gefertigt ist, oder eines dünnen Drahts auf. Die Halteeinrichtung erstreckt sich von einem ersten Ende 50a zu einem zweiten Ende 50b, wobei das erste Ende 50a an der als Begrenzungselement 11 dienenden Unterkante des Zwischenraums 12 (vgl.
Wird die Sperreinrichtung 40 in die Freigabeposition gebracht (vgl.
Die Halteeinrichtung 50 hält somit die Sperreinrichtung 40 in der Sperrposition und bringt sie nach einer Schussabgabe wieder in die Sperrposition. Die Kraft, welche die Halteeinrichtung 50 auf die Sperreinrichtung 40 in der Sperrposition auswirkt, muss folglich überwunden werden, um die Sperreinrichtung 40 in die Freigabeposition zu bringen. Dies kann insbesondere durch Einbringen des Bolzens 2 (s. z.B.
