Definitions

  • This invention relates to ammunition for toy guns.
  • strip ammunition for toy guns a plurality of discrete explosive charges, container means for each said charge, stalk means for interconnecting said container means, and stop means formed on the stalk means for engagement by advancing means of a toy gun, whereby the strip can be advanced by the space between each container means each time the gun is fired.
  • FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 illustrate respectively a side view, a front view, and a second side view opposite the first side-view of a strip of caps in accordance with the invention
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 illustrate respectively transverse sections on the lines IV1V and VV of FIG. 2;
  • FIGS. 6 and 7 illustrate a second embodiment of a strip of caps, respectively integral and divided on a line of reduced strength for forming of several lengths of strip;
  • FIG. 8 illustrates a local section on the line VIIIVIII of FIG. 6.
  • explosive caps 1 of cup or tumbler form are made of a thermoplastic synthetic-resin material and receive an explosive in the bottom of the cavity formed by said cups.
  • the caps are connected to one another by stalks 2 likewise made of the thermoplastic synthetic-resin material, in such a manner that a strip of predetermined length can be formed as a single element in the thermoplastic material by use of an injection mould.
  • the stalks 2 project laterally with respect to a line passing through the centres of the caps and are inclined so as to form teeth 2a like the teeth of a rack, a stop or shoulder 2b being arranged to co-operate with advancing means (not shown) forming a part of a gun.
  • the stalks 2 are also so formed as to allow the cutting thereof along a chain line as indicated at T in the drawing, and inclined with respect to the line of the centres of the caps, referred to above. Therefore, on one side of the strip of caps a guide projection is formed which is designed to ensure the retaining of the strip in a housing of a gun, said housing being provided with an appropriate channel in which the projecting portion of the stalk between the caps slides. Furthermore, the profile of the stalks 2-2a allows the formation of a rack with stops substantially equi-distant from one another, since the caps, and preferably also the stops are arranged in alignment with each cap for the above stated purpose of advance of the strip in its housing.
  • One of the ends of the strip illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 5 is provided with an extension 5 having a thickness substantially equal to one half of the thickness of the stalk 2 and from which two pins 6 extend, appropriately spaced from each other.
  • the pins extend from the surface forming the step determined by the reduction in thickness.
  • the extension 5 is inclined substantially as the stalks 2.
  • an extension 8 which has a stop 8a corresponding to the stops 2b of the rack teeth.
  • the extension 8 has a thickness substantially equal to one half of that of the stalks 2, with a step on the end opposite that defined by the extension 5.
  • Two apertures 9, spaced apart by a distance corresponding to that of the pins 6 of the extension 5, are provided in the reduced thickness portion of the extension 8.
  • connection formed by the pins 6 and apertures 9 allows the formation of a strip having an extent longer than that of a single portion S or S to increase the performance of a gun, when a longer series of shots is desired than is possible with a single strip.
  • the stop 8a formed by the extension 8 completes a tooth of the strip of caps where the extension 8 is adjacent, without modifying the pitch between the caps of the two strips or portions.
  • the extension 7 serves to guide the last cap in the housing provided for in the magazine to accommodate the strip.
  • a row of caps 11 is formed into a strip by means of the stalks 12 which are inclined between one cap and the next to form a toothlike projection 12a and thus also a number of rack teeth of ratchet profile having stops 12b whose pitch corresponds to the pitch between the caps.
  • the stops 12b facilitate the advance of the strip by advance means (not shown) provided in a gun.
  • zones having a reduced strength designed to allow the easy separation of contiguous caps, without affecting the capability of advance even at the ends of these portions. In other words the formation of the stop of each cap is maintained, even if located at the end of a portion.
  • an L-shaped recess 13 which has a substantially rectilinear portion extending parallel to the stop or shoulder 12b of the cap and a portion extending in the length direction of the stalk 12.
  • the portion or length which becomes the major length in FIG. 7 also includes a last cap having an extension 14, the end 14a of which forms a stop which substantially corresponds to the position of the stops 12b and the distance of which from the adjacent stop 12b (corresponding to the last cap of the portion) is indicated by b and is slightly smaller than the pitch a.
  • the breaking line indicated by the recess 13 as above stated is spaced by only a short distance from the stop 12b adjacent the length parallel to said stop.
  • the diiference between the distance a and the distance b is determined by the thickness of the small tooth 15 which is formed in the lower length or portion.
  • the tooth 15 and the stop 1% permit the advance to be predetermined at the start or at the end of a portion of the strip obtained by separating the strips along the lines of the recesses 13.
  • a length may be sheared along the line indicated at T (chain line) which is a cutting line inclined with respect to the direction of the strip of caps. Division is obtained by a blade of a gun (not shown) controlled, for instance, by a striking force determined by the explosion of a cap. In this way, the separation of each exploded cap is obtained immediately after each explosion. In this way an imitation of an exploded cartridge case of a real gun is obtained. It is to be noted that after having exploded the last of the caps of a portion of strip, the shearing effects only a separation of a part of the lower extension from the residual portion of the length of the strip which is formed by the last of the exploded caps.
  • the diiference between the length b of the extension 14 and the pitch a is so reduced as not to give rise to any disadvantages in the operation of the gun, since the forwarding action etfected by the advance means on the end 14a of the extension 14 is sufiicient to cause the cutting and also the expulsion of the last of the caps.
  • An extension 17 is provided for use with the last cap of a length, to guide the residue of the length in the housing in the magazine of the gun.
  • the ammunition caps are mounted on a single cardboard strip element or the like.
  • Rack-like shoulders or stops are formed in the cardboard
  • the stops are formed by the outer surface of each cap.
  • a mechanised or automatic advance of the ammunition at each shot can be effected with a trigger system or with an automatic system.
  • the caps can be severed as each cap is fired in such a manner that spent cases are ejected in the manner of a real gun.
  • Strip of ammunition for toy guns comprising, a row of spaced explosive caps arranged along a line passing substantially through their centers, each of said caps being formed as a cup-like container with an explosive charge therein, stalk means interconnecting each cap to the other along a side laterally offset from the row of said caps, and a series of spaced stops along said stalk means, each of said stops being arranged alongside each cap and being engageable by advancing means of a toy gun.
