In addition, the population seeking new and exciting recreation activities is increasing, and toy guns, such as BB gun, paintball gun, air gun etc., have become one of the key tools for shooting training performed by people in recent years.
- The firing pin structure of a traditional toy gun is fixed onto the action and moves horizontally along with the action. In addition, the air pressure is released from the gas cylinder to push the action in order to drive the firing pin structure to retreat. Once the action is retreated, the spring is compressed. When the spring is restored, it then pushes the action and the firing pin structure to move forward again and the hammer is released. The hammer then strikes the firing pin structure and the valve. Accordingly, when such process is repeated, it is able to achieve the so-called running fire mode.
- However, the stroke of the spring of a small toy gun is relatively shorter and the elasticity is also softer, such that the speed and position of the spring restoration cannot be controlled easily. Consequently, when the action moves forward and backward horizontally, the spring is likely to have fatigue such that the force exertion on the action becomes insufficient. As a result, the action cannot drive the firing pin to the predefined firing position, causing the running fire mode to be interrupted.
- In view of above, the inventor seeks to improve and overcome the aforementioned drawback associated with the currently existing technology after years of research and development along with the utilization of academic theories in order to achieve a reasonable design of the present invention capable of effectively overcoming the aforementioned drawbacks.
- The present invention provides a toy gun with a fixed firing pin structure mechanism, utilizing a firing pin structure directly fixed onto a gun body in order to prevent the situation where the firing pin structure fails to move to the predefined location, thereby achieving the merit of smooth continuous firing of the toy gun of the present invention.

Thefirst protrusion 531 and thesecond protrusion 551 are able to engage with or disengage from thenotch 511, thereby allowing thehammer latch 53 and the runningfire latch 55 to latch or release thehammer 51. - Furthermore, since the
hammer latch 53 and the runningfire latch 55 are pivotally attached onto identical location of thegun body 1 in the left and right parallel arrangement method, and since thefirst protrusion 531 and thesecond protrusion 551 also share oneidentical notch 511, thegun body 1 is not required to have a pivotal attachment structure, and thehammer 51 is not required to have other notches formed thereon. Consequently, the effect of simplified components and structure can be achieved. - As shown in
FIG. 1 ,FIG. 3 toFIG. 4 , thetoy gun 10 of the present invention further comprises atrigger assembly 6. Thetrigger assembly 6 is able to press or release thehammer latch 53. When thetrigger assembly 6 presses thehammer latch 53, thehammer latch 53 is driven to release thehammer 51. - Please refer to the following detailed description. The
trigger assembly 6 comprises atrigger 61 pivotally attached onto thegun body 1, a fifth restoringspring 62 elastically supported between thegun body 1 and thetrigger 61 and atrigger linkage rod 53 pivotally attached onto thetrigger 61. Thetrigger 61 is able to move between a ready-to-fire position and a fire-completed position. The fifth restoringspring 62 is able to drive thetrigger 61 to restore in a direction toward the ready-to-fire position. - Furthermore, the
trigger linkage rod 63 is able to press or release thehammer latch 53. When thetrigger 61 is at the ready-to-fire position, the trigger linkage rod releases thehammer latch 53. When thetrigger 61 is at the fire-completed position, thetrigger linkage rod 63 is driven to press thehammer latch 53 in order to allow thehammer latch 53 to release thehammer 51. - Please refer to
FIG. 1 ,FIG. 4 toFIG. 16 , showing different states of use views of thetoy gun 10 of the present invention. The following provides detailed description of the steps thereof. First, as shown inFIG. 1 ,FIG. 4 toFIG. 5 , the restoringspring assembly 32 drives theaction 31 to restore in a direction approaching thebarrel 11. When the fifth restoringspring 62 drives thetrigger 62 to restore in a direction toward the ready-to-fire position, therigger linkage rod 63 is able to release thehammer latch 53, and thehammer latch 53 is driven by the third restoringspring 54 to latch thehammer 51, preventing thehammer 51 from striking thefiring pin 42. - Secondly, as shown in
FIG. 1 andFIG. 6 , when the user pulls theaction 31 in a direction away from thebarrel 11, since thefiring pin structure 4 is fixed onto thegun body 1 without movement, thehollow piston 33 is able to move along with theaction 31 in order to disengage from thering slot 412 of thepiston seat 41 and presses thehammer 51, thereby causing thehammer 51 to be in a rearward tilting state. At the same time, thefirst protrusion 531 of thehammer latch 53 is able to disengage from thenotch 511 of thehammer 51, and the third restoringspring 54 is able to drive thehammer latch 53 to restore in a direction approaching thehammer 51. - Thirdly, as shown in
FIG. 1 andFIG. 7 , after the user releases theaction 31, theaction 31 is driven by the restoringspring assembly 32 to restore in a direction approaching thebarrel 11 and releases thehammer 51. Thehollow piston 33 is filled into thering slot 412, and a rear end of thefiring pin 42 is exposed at the external of thehollow piston 33. At the same time, the second restoringspring 52 is able to drive thehammer 51 to restore in a direction toward a position for striking thefiring pin 42. However, thefirst protrusion 531 of thehammer latch 53 engages with thenotch 511 of thehammer 51 such that thehammer 51 is locked by thehammer latch 53 in order to continue to maintain at the rearward tiling state. Consequently, during this time, thehammer 51 still cannot strike thefiring pin 42. - Fourthly, as shown in
FIG. 8 toFIG. 9 , when the user dials thetrigger 61 to reach the fire-completed position, thetrigger 61 is able to drive thetrigger linkage rod 63 to press thehammer latch 53 in order to allow thehammer latch 53 to release thehammer 51, thereby causing the second restoringspring 52 to drive thehammer 51 to restore in a direction toward a position for striking thefiring pin 42 again. - Fifthly, as shown in
FIG. 1 andFIG. 10 , thehammer 51 is driven by the second restoringspring 52 to strike thefiring pin 42 in order to further drive thefiring pin 42 to press theswitch valve 2. When theswitch valve 2 is pressed, theswitch valve 2 is able to control thebarrel 11 to be connected to thepneumatic conduit 12, and the gas in thepneumatic conduit 12 is able to flow into thebarrel 11, thereby pushing the bullet (not shown in the drawings) out of thebarrel 11 and completing the first firing of shot. - Sixthly, as shown in
FIG. 11 toFIG. 12 , when the user dials thetrigger 61 to reach the fire-completed position, thetrigger linkage rod 63 is driven to constantly press thehammer latch 53 in order to allow thehammer latch 53 to continuously release thehammer 51. At the same time, a portion of the gas in thepneumatic conduit 12 is able to flow into thering slot 412 via the ventilation holes 413 of thesleeve 41, such that thehollow piston 33 is pushed by the gas to disengage from thering slot 412 and to press thehammer 51. - Seventhly, as shown in
FIG. 13 , when thehollow piston 33 presses thehammer 51, the fourth restoringspring 56 is able to drive the runningfire latch 55 to restore in a direction toward a position for latching thehammer 51 in order to allow thesecond protrusion 551 of the runningfire latch 55 to engage with thenotch 511 of thelatch 51, such that thehammer 51 is locked by the runningfire latch 55 to be in the rearward tilting state. - Eighthly, as shown in
FIG. 1 ,FIG. 14 toFIG. 15 , when theaction 31 is driven by the restoringspring assembly 32 to restore in a direction approaching thebarrel 11, thehollow piston 33 is able to fill into thering slot 412, and the rear end of thefiring pin 42 is exposed at the external of thehollow piston 33. In addition, theaction 31 is able to press the runningfire latch 55 in order to allow the runningfire latch 55 to release thehammer 51, and allowing thehammer 51 to be driven by the second restoringspring 52 to strike thefiring pin 42, thereby further driving thefiring pin 42 to press theswitch valve 2. The gas in thepneumatic conduit 12 is then released to flow into thebarrel 11 in order to push the bullet (not shown in the drawings) out of thebarrel 11 and completing the running fire shot. - Ninthly, as shown in
FIG. 16 , a portion of the gas in thepneumatic conduit 12 further flows into thering slot 412 via the ventilation holes 413 of thesleeve 411 in order to push thehollow piston 33 to disengage from thering slot 412 and to press thehammer 51. At the same time, the runningfire latch 55 is driven by the fourth restoringspring 56 to latch thehammer 51. - Finally, the steps shown in
FIG. 11 toFIG. 16 are repeated, and thehammer 51 is able to perform striking continuously until the gas inside thegas cylinder 100 is used up completely. - For a known firing pin structure, it is fixed onto the action and moves along with the action horizontally. However, during the restoration of the action, the action tends to fail to drive the firing pin structure to the predefined striking position due to possible spring fatigue, causing interruption of the running fire shots.
- In comparison to the prior art, in the present invention, the firing pin structure is fixed onto the
gun body 1 such that it is able to prevent the situation where thefiring pin structure 4 fails to reach the predefined position, and thepiston member 311 is required to fill into thepiston seat 41 such that the rear end of thefiring pin 42 is exposed at the external of thehollow piston 33 in order to perform firing of shots. Consequently, thetoy gun 10 of the present invention has the merits of smooth continuous firing and high safety of use. - Furthermore, when the
piston member 311 moves in a direction approaching thepiston seat 41 and is located between thepiston seat 41 and thehammer 51, theaction 31 can then press the runningfire latch 55 in order to allow the runningfire latch 55 to release thehammer 51. Consequently, when the second restoringspring 52 drives thehammer 51 to restore each time, it is able to properly strike thefiring pin 42, such that the smoothness of the continuous firing hots of thetoy gun 10 of the present invention is enhanced. - In view of the above, the present invention of the toy gun with a fixed firing pin structure mechanism is able to achieve the expected objectives of use and to overcome the drawbacks of the prior arts. Therefore, the present invention is of novelty and inventive step, complying with the patentability for an invention patent. Accordingly, patent application is hereby filed according to the law in light of the grant of the patent right for the protection of the rights of the inventor.
