Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention provides a grip case with a trigger-like handle member and a pipe member projecting like a gun barrel, and operates the handle member to compress or release the piezoelectric element installed in the grip case. Attaching and detaching a transparent cap to the tip of the pipe member of a pistol-type gas igniter configured to controllably generate high-voltage discharge sparks between a center electrode provided at the tip of the pipe member and an inner surface of the pipe member. A neon tube or other discharge tube is fitted into the transparent cap so that it can be freely attached, and a one-pole lead wire of the discharge tube is connected to the center electrode while maintaining a discharge interval or in contact with the center electrode, The gist of the invention is that the other one-pole lead wire is brought into contact with the pipe member together with the above-mentioned fitting, and discharges electricity into a pistol-type gas igniter conventionally used for gas ignition. A pistol-shaped toy that gives the impression of emitting flame from the muzzle by attaching a transparent cap equipped with a tube as a light-emitting element in a timely manner and causing the discharge tube to emit light by the discharge of a gas igniter by operating the trigger-like handle member. The purpose is to change.

Conventionally, many toys equipped with instantaneous light emitting devices are known,
There is nothing that controls light emission by high-pressure discharge of piezoelectric elements,
Moreover, there is no idea to simply change the gas igniter itself into a light-emitting toy or to return it to the original function of a gas igniter that can be used to ignite gas by removing the ignition device.

The present invention has an inventive step that has made this possible.

An example of the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the attached drawings. In the drawing, 1 is a gun grip-shaped insulating grip case, to which a trigger-shaped handle member 2 is attached under a return spring 3. At the same time, a pipe member 4 whose base portion is sandwiched and fixed to the grip case 1 is protruded in the shape of a gun barrel.

A center electrode 5 is fixed to the projecting end of the pipe member 4, and the diameter of the pipe is expanded to form a cylindrical electrode 6, in which a gas permeation gap 7 consisting of a plurality of window holes is formed.

Reference numeral 8 denotes a high voltage generator installed in the grip case 1, in which a piezoelectric element 11 is crimped and fixed by a retaining pawl 10 formed on a substrate 9, and the element 11 is swung against the pressure receiving element 12 by the elasticity of a spring 13. The hammer 14, which moves toward the hammer 14, is supported by a shaft 15 erected on the base plate 9 so as to be able to swing freely.

Reference numeral 16 denotes a control piece made of a leaf spring, which has one end engaged with the swinging end 14a of the hammer 14 and the other end inserted into and locked into the trigger-like handle member 2, and the hammer 14 is pulled by operating the handle member 2. The hammer 14 oscillates in the returned state, and at the peak of the oscillation, the engagement is released and the pressure receiving element 12 of the piezoelectric element 11 is pressed against the spring 1 by the hammer 14.
The spring elasticity of No. 3 is used to generate a high voltage by applying strong pressure.

In addition, 17 is a coated wire passing through the pipe member 4 to connect the positive electrode of the high voltage generator 8 and the center electrode 5, and 18 is a metal wire connected to the pipe member 4 and the negative electrode of the device 8.

The structure described above is known as a gas igniter using a piezoelectric element.

In addition to the device illustrated as a high voltage generator, other known devices may be used that generate a high voltage by continuously compressing or decompressing a piezoelectric element through manipulation of the handle member 2.

Reference numeral 21 denotes a transparent cap that is detachably attached to the cylindrical electrode 6 at the tip of the pipe member 4, and 22 has shaft holes 23 and 24 formed from the front and rear ends, respectively, as shown in FIG. A split groove 2 formed from the rear end of the shaft hole 24 to the starting end of the shaft hole 24
5 is a transparent discharge tube holding cylinder with both shaft holes 23 and 24 communicating with each other, and a reduced diameter part 22a is provided in the rear half of the iron cylinder 22.

A neon tube or other discharge tube 26 is fitted and held in the shaft hole 23, and the lead wire 27 at one end of the discharge tube 26 is exposed through the slot 25 into the shaft hole 24, and the lead wire 28 of the other pole is inserted. It is led out from the split groove 25 to the outer periphery of the reduced diameter portion 22a.

The discharge tube holding tube 22 is inserted and fixed into the transparent cap 21 to form an insertion ring groove 29 for the cylindrical electrode 6 between the inner periphery of the transparent cap 21 and the reduced diameter portion 22a of the discharge tube holding tube 22.

The transparent cap 21 into which the discharge tube holding cylinder 22 is inserted and fixed as described above has the cylindrical electrode 6 inserted into the annular groove 29, the transparent cap 21 is attached to the tip of the pipe member 4, and the center electrode 5 is inserted into the shaft hole 24. The lead wire 27 is inserted into the lead wire 27 and is opposed to the lead wire 27 while maintaining a discharge interval.

The other lead wire 28 contacts the cylindrical electrode 6 (the third
figure).

Of course, the lead wire 27 and the center electrode 5 may be directly connected.

The pistol-like toy of the present invention has the above-described structure, and the piezoelectric element 11 mounted in the grip case 1 can be compressed or released by operating the trigger-like handle member 2 provided in the gun grip-shaped insulating grip case 1. The high voltage discharge generated between the center electrode 5 and the cylindrical electrode 6 at the tip of the pipe member 4 is transmitted to a discharge tube 26 such as a neon tube held by a discharge tube holding tube 22 of a transparent cap 21. The light is emitted instantaneously or continuously between the electrodes in the discharge tube 26, and the light is visible through the transparent discharge tube holder 22 and the transparent cap, just like a bullet coming from the muzzle of a pistol. This can create the impression of a propellant flame that occurs when a gun is fired.

However, since the discharge occurs inside the transparent cap 21, there is no danger at all, and the device can be used as a safe pistol-like toy.

Moreover, if the transparent cap 21 is removed, it can be used immediately as a gas ignition device.
