  • Patent number: 10415912
    Abstract: A gun includes a bolt, a bolt stop member and a shock-absorption device. The bolt is movable forward or backward in a gun body, accumulates a pressure of a buffer spring while moving backward according to manipulation of the gun, and moves forward by releasing the accumulated pressure. The bolt stop member stops the bolt moving forward. The shock-absorption device includes a shock-absorption link which engages with a shock-absorption shaft which acts on the bolt stop member to absorb an impact force applied to the bolt stop member by the engagement of the bolt and the bolt stop portion.

  • Patent number: 10401120
    Abstract: A switching mechanism that controls a drive circuit of an electric motor in order to select any one of a single shooting mode, and a successive shooting mode. The switching mechanism includes a selector unit which is provided in order to select between the single shooting mode and the successive shooting mode, a switch which closes the drive circuit in response to an operation of a trigger, and a cut-off member which turns off the switch when the single shooting mode is selected. An engagement location for the movable portion and the cut-off member in the piston cylinder mechanism is set in a front portion in a direction of the reciprocating operation of the movable portion, and a range of selecting a time taken until the front portion engages with the cut-off member after the movable portion starts to retract can be lengthened.

  • Patent number: 10330407
    Abstract: A gun includes a bolt member that is disposed in a gun body so as to be movable forward and rearward, that moves rearward in response to gas pressure generated by bullet shooting so as to compress a bolt spring, and that moves forward in response to release of the compressed pressure so as to perform a bullet loading operation, and a bolt stop that stops forward movement of the bolt member. The bolt stop (31) has engagement means (36) for engaging with the bolt member which moves forward to reach the engagement means (36) after last bullet shooting, and includes buffer means (40) for buffering an impact force applied to the bolt stop due to the engagement so as to act on the bolt stop.

  • Patent number: 10139193
    Abstract: A system where an attachment angle between an output gear of a motor holder and an input gear of a gear box is displaceable. A piston cylinder mechanism is driven by an electric mechanism. An output gear and input gear are bevel gears. Connection portions are provided in at least two places on a gear box side, and connection counterpart portions are provided on a motor holder side. The connection portions are present on the same circumference about a rotary shaft of the input gear and on both sides across a radial-directional axial line passing through the rotary shaft and angles A, B formed by axial lines respectively connecting the connection portions. The rotary shaft and the radial-directional axial line are set so as not to be equal to each other (A?B).
