  • Publication number: 20110146647
    Abstract: A toy gun gas intake control mechanism includes a holder frame, an impact member having an elongated pivoted with its bottom end to the holder frame, a striking block, a pivot axle that pivotally connects the striking block to the top end of the elongated base and a spring member for revering the striking block, a retaining block supported on a spring member in the holder frame and having a retaining notch for retaining the outer end of the pivot axle. When firing a bullet, the bolt body of the toy gun moves forwards, the striking block strikes a seal member to open a gas inlet, and the pivot axle is moved out of the retaining notch of the retaining block for allowing upward displacement of the retaining block. When the bolt body moves backward after firing, the retaining block is forced downwards to the inside or the holder frame by the bolt body, the outer end of the pivot axle is engaged into the retaining notch, and the striking block is returned, causing the seal member to close the gas inlet again.

  • Publication number: 20110041825
    Abstract: A gun-lock assembly of a toy gun is disclosed to have a gasket ring mounted on the periphery of a piston near its rear end and peripherally stopped at the peripheral wall of an accommodation chamber of the gun-lock housing. When an intake flow of gas is guided into the piston, the gasket ring is moved with the piston relative to the housing to extend an airtight space in the accommodation chamber for receiving the intake flow of gas to enhance the recoil of the toy gun.

  • Patent number: 7878106
    Abstract: A firing control mechanism for an air-soft toy gun is disclosed for enabling a user to rotate a switch in selecting a single shot, 3-shot continuous firing, multi-shot continuous firing or safety lock mode, having a ratchet wheel pivotally mounted on an axle of the hammer thereof, which ratchet having two shadow teeth and one deep tooth arranged in a series around the periphery at one side and sloping teeth arranged around the periphery at an opposite side. The hammer has a stop rod meshed with one sloping tooth of the ratchet wheel. During a continuous 3-shot firing action, the ratchet wheel is rotated following down stroke of the hammer, and a pawl is meshed with one shadow tooth or the deep tooth, and the stop rod of the hammer is shifted into mesh with a next sloping tooth of the ratchet wheel to prohibit reverse rotation of the ratchet wheel when the hammer is returned after a firing action.

  • Patent number: 7273047
    Abstract: An actuating mechanism used in an air gun is disclosed to include a hammer, a hook member hooked on the hammer for moving the hammer to the striking position, and a movable block supported on said spring member below a slide of the air gun. The movable block is turned to compress the spring member and to force a first stop edge thereof into engagement with a pivot in the air gun, and the hook member is forced to turn the hammer backwardly downwards to a hammering position when the user moved the slide to the rear side of the air gun. The hammer is disengaged from the hook member to strike the movable block, and the spring member returns the movable block to force a second stop edge of the movable into engagement with the pivot when the user triggered the air gun.
