Magazine of an airsoft gun
An airsoft gun magazine allowing smooth, convenient, and efficient way to continuous drive the ratchet for fast delivering multiple projectiles including ball and paintball bullets one after another is comprised of an outer case containing an integrated magazine casings, and ratchet, dialer, coil spring, active gear, passive gear and deflection gear below the magazine casing; an inlet on top of the magazine casing and a guide channel extending up to its top; the revolving ratchet delivering torque energy to be stored in the coil spring to drive the dialer; an insertion hole disposed externally to the center of the ratchet and being incorporated to the magazine casing and exposed out of the outer case; and a key placed into the insertion hole to continuously drive the ratchet to revolve.
(a) Field of the Invention
The present invention is related to a magazine of an airsoft gun, and more particularly to an improved structure of a magazine for loading ball bullets or paintball bullets used as projectiles for the airsoft gun during a war game or target shooting practice.
(b) Description of the Prior Art
Many people enjoy the excitement experienced in a war or survival game and they always use airsoft guns and projectiles of plastic ball or paintball to imitate real gun and bullet that present real life-threatening dangers and under strict control. Multiple projectiles are loaded in a magazine to be fired one by one by the airsoft gun.
Referring to
Accordingly, the prior art essentially operates on the revolving ratchet 12. However, so far the ratchet 12 revolves each time just for a small travel. As illustrated in
The primary purpose of the present invention is to provide an improved construction of an airsoft magazine for loading projectiles including ball or paintball bullets to correct the problems of slower, inefficient, and inconvenient dialing to reload the projectiles as found with the prior art.
To achieve the purpose, a magazine of the present invention is comprised of an outer case containing an integrated magazine casing, and a ratchet, a dialer, a coil spring, an active gear, a passive gear, a deflection gear, a guide wheel, an elastic member, and a key are received where below the magazine casing in the outer case. Wherein, an inlet is disposed on the magazine casing incorporated below with the ratchet and the dialer; the guide channel extends by following the turning direction of the dialer from one side of the magazine casing up to its top; a non-circular insertion hole incorporated inside the magazine casing is disposed externally to the center of the ratchet and is located at where exposed out of the magazine casing and the outer case of the magazine; multiple teeth are provided on the peripheral of the dialer; and the coil spring is connected into the dialer and respectively connected to the ratchet and the dialer. When the ratchet revolves, the torque generated is stored in the coil spring where the torque energy is converted to the dialer. The active gear is linked to operate by the dialer; the passive gear is linked to operate by the active gear; and the deflection gear is linked to operate by the passive gear. The guide wheel is disposed in conjunction with the elastic member. The key made in an S shape or any other shape that facilitates continuous cranking has its terminal made in a shape to compromise the insertion hole.
The improved construction of the magazine for an airsoft gun to fire projectiles including ball or paintball bullets of the present invention when compared with the prior art allows smooth, convenient, and efficient way to continuous drive the ratchet to revolve by using a key inserted into the insertion hole of the ratchet.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
Referring to
As illustrated in
Now referring to
Accordingly, the present invention provides smooth, efficient, and convenient means to continuously revolve the ratchet 40 by engaging the key 100 to the insertion hole 41 of the ratchet 40.
Claims
1. An improved construction of a magazine containing projectiles including ball bullets and paintball bullets for an airsoft gun is comprised of an outer case containing an integrated magazine casings, and ratchet, dialer, coil spring, active gear, passive gear and deflection gear below the magazine casing; an inlet being disposed on top of the magazine casing; a guide channel extending along one side of the magazine casing up to its top; the dialer being disposed on its peripheral multiple teeth; the coil spring being incorporated in the dialer and respectively connected to the ratchet and the dialer; the revolving ratchet delivering torque energy to be stored in the coil spring to drive the dialer; the dialer being linked for operation to the active gear, the passive gear, and the deflection gear in sequence; a non-circular insertion hole being disposed externally to the center of the ratchet and being incorporated to the magazine casing and exposed out of the outer case; and a key made in an S shape or any other shape that permits continuous turning and a terminal compromising the shape of the insertion hole being separately provided to be placed into the insertion hole to continuously drive the ratchet to revolve.
