Patent number: 9457289Abstract: A toy gun capable of firing a projectile and simultaneously or near simultaneously, emitting smoke from the muzzle of a barrel of the gun after the projectile has been discharged from the muzzle. The toy gun has first and second rechargeable air pumps, with the first air pump automatically discharging stored air into a breech part of the barrel in order to propel a loaded projectile from the barrel, and the second air pump expelling stored air through a flow restriction device which serves as a pressure switch for actuating a smoke generator located adjacent to the muzzle. The second air pump also provides a low air flow rate through the smoke generator to expel smoke therefrom. The second air pump expels stored air much more slowly than the first air pump. The first and second air pumps are simultaneously triggered to release stored air by a user.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 2013Date of Patent: October 4, 2016Assignee: Buzz Bee Toys (H.K.) Co. LimitedInventors: Jeffrey C. Zimmerman, Chor-Ming Ma

Publication number: 20150065006Abstract: A toy gun in the form of a breech loading rifle is provided which is capable of firing a projectile such as a dart as well as simultaneously or near simultaneously emitting smoke from the muzzle of a barrel of the gun after the dart has been discharged from the muzzle. The toy gun has first and second rechargeable air pumps. A first one of the air pumps automatically discharges stored air into a breech part of the barrel in order to propel a loaded projectile from the gun's barrel. A second one of the air pumps expels stored air through a flow restriction device which doubles up as a pressure switch for actuating a smoke generator located adjacent to the muzzle of the gun. The second air pump also provides a low flow rate of air through the smoke generator to expel smoke from the smoke generator. The second air pump expels stored air much more slowly than the first air pump. The first and second air pumps are simultaneously triggered to release stored air by user actuation of a trigger of the gun.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2014Publication date: March 5, 2015Applicant: Buzz Bee Toys (H.K.) Co., LimitedInventors: Jeffrey C. Zimmerman, Chor-Ming Ma

Patent number: 8448632Abstract: A compressed air firing shell for a toy gun includes a firing chamber for receiving a soft projectile and a pressure chamber to store a high-pressure charge of air. A release port delimits the pressure chamber from the firing chamber. A piston within the pressure chamber seals the release port and unseals the release port upon triggered activation of the activation member to allow the charge to pass from the pressure chamber to the firing chamber to effect firing of the soft projectile.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2011Date of Patent: May 28, 2013Assignee: Buzz Bee Toys (H.K.) Co., LimitedInventor: Chor-Ming Ma

Patent number: 8393498Abstract: A toy gun has a body, a chamber and a nozzle. A piston moves within the chamber to cause fluid in the chamber to be emitted via the nozzle. A handle is connected to the body, and a gear mechanism cooperates with the handle and the piston to convert movement of the handle to lesser or greater movement of the piston.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2010Date of Patent: March 12, 2013Assignee: Buzz Bee Toys (H.K.) Co., LimitedInventor: Chor-Ming Ma

Patent number: 8210394Abstract: A toy water shooter includes a water chamber, a nozzle, a piston movable within the water chamber, a trigger for moving the piston against water in the water chamber for emission via the nozzle, an anchoring mechanism interacting with the trigger and the piston for preventing movement of the piston against water in the water chamber upon initial user-application of force to the trigger.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2008Date of Patent: July 3, 2012Assignee: Buzz Bee Toys (H.K.) Co., LimitedInventor: Chor-Ming Ma

Patent number: 8146281Abstract: A link for a toy ammunition chain made up of a plurality of links hinged together side-by-side in articulated fashion includes a cylindrical body adapted to receive a soft projectile. A first hinge component extends laterally from the body and has a pair of hinge pins. A second hinge component extends laterally from the body at a position opposite the first hinge component and has a pair of recesses each for pivotally receiving a hinge pin of an adjacent link in the chain.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2008Date of Patent: April 3, 2012Assignee: Buzz Bee Toys (H.K.) Co., LimitedInventor: Jeffrey C. Zimmerman

Patent number: 8127754Abstract: A toy gun includes a body, a pinion located in the body and a turning member mounted to rotate about the pinion. A number of barrels each rotate upon the turning member at radial positions. Each barrel has a gear meshing with the pinion. Each barrel has a circular array of projectile-receiving tubes. An indexing mechanism causes the turning member to rotate about the axis whereupon the meshing interaction of the gears with the pinion causes orbital movement of the barrels about the axis as they rotate with respect to the turning member. As a result, each projectile-receiving tube is delivered to the firing position.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2010Date of Patent: March 6, 2012Assignee: Buzz Bee Toys (H.K.) Co., LimitedInventors: Brownie Johnson, Chor-Ming Ma

Patent number: 8113188Abstract: A toy gun includes a body, a piston adapted to move relative to the body between an extended position and a retracted position and to be moved rapidly toward the retracted position during a firing stroke. A number of firing chambers each receive a projectile and air compressed by the piston during a firing stroke to fire the projectile from the toy gun. An air delivery mechanism conveys the compressed air to one of the firing chambers and co-operates with the piston to advance as a result of piston movement to a configuration whereat it can convey compressed air to another of the chambers.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2010Date of Patent: February 14, 2012Assignee: Buzz Bee Toys (H.K.) Co., LimitedInventor: Chor-Ming Ma

Patent number: 7766721Abstract: A toy sword has a translucent foam shell in the form of a blade. A light-transmissive tube is located within the foam shell and a multitude of light emitters are located along the tube and are configured to emit light through the tube to the foam shell from inside to illuminate the shell's exterior.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2008Date of Patent: August 3, 2010Assignee: Buzz Bee Toys (H.K.) Co., LimitedInventor: Chor-Ming Ma

Patent number: 7677235Abstract: A toy gun includes a firing mechanism activated to cause rapid movement of a pneumatic piston to cause rapid ingress of air into a cartridge to cause firing of a soft projectile. A release mechanism causes ejection of spent cartridges from the gun after firing.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2006Date of Patent: March 16, 2010Assignee: Buzz Bee Toys (H.K.) Co., LimitedInventor: Jeffrey C. Zimmerman

Patent number: 7156085Abstract: A toy gun includes a barrel having a bay for receiving a soft projectile loaded within a cartridge. A stock is connected pivotally to the barrel and encases a pneumatic cylinder and piston that is primed upon pivotally opening the stock and barrel. The pneumatic cylinder and piston communicate with the bay when the stock and barrel are closed. A trigger releases the piston to force air into the bay for dispatching the projectile from the cartridge—leaving the cartridge within the bay for ejection upon opening of the stock and barrel.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2004Date of Patent: January 2, 2007Assignee: Buzz Bee Toys (H.K.) Co., LimitedInventors: Michael G. Lewis, Jeffrey C. Zimmerman
