  • Patent number: 11953286
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods employing dual triggered feeding of projectiles from plural or multiple magazine clips with multiple interlock features in a rapid fire toy launcher employing a clips carriage mounted for translatable movement using a carriage selector separately positions clips in line for individual projectile feeding and launch. A propelling mechanism receives projectiles from an elongated projectile checking subassembly using a reversible projectile advancing feeder with a gear combination that advances and returns a pusher extension for feeding projectiles through the clips carriage upper portion. The reversible projectile advancing feeder is positioned in the housing forward the inserted magazine clips. Triggers including a propelling mechanism trigger activates a key and a fire key is activated with a fire trigger.

  • Patent number: 11703297
    Abstract: When a semi-automatic rifle is live fired, it is ready to be fired again. The shooter's hands remain in the firing position, and just the trigger finger and trigger are employed. But with dry fire practice, the shooter must cycle the rifle's bolt to reset the firing pin. The shooter must move one hand from the shooting position on the rifle, the rifle's long bolt is pulled back to reset the firing pin, the rifle repositioned, a new sight picture acquired, and then the next trigger press can be accomplished. This invention replaces the rifle's bolt carrier group and provides realistic muscle memory training by duplicating the action of the trigger, the feel and the sound of the release of the firing pin, and the resetting of the trigger for additional trigger activations. The invention does not interact with the rifle's firing pin.

  • Patent number: 9022014
    Abstract: An electric toy gun with a plurality of firing modes includes a trigger, a power break holder, a power contact holder, a block member slidably coupled to the power break holder and having a first tooth and a second tooth at one lateral side thereof, a swing bar having an actuation portion and a push block connected to the actuation portion. A control mechanism enables the push block of the swing bar to be shifted to the rear side of the first tooth, the rear or front side of the second tooth. Lowering of the power break holder with the block member drives the push block to move the first or second tooth forward and then to push the first tooth forward. The block member is displaced relative to the stop portion of the link which moves the power break holder.

  • Patent number: 7836872
    Abstract: A pneumatic toy gun with a hammer assembly disposed inside a barrel is provided. The hammer assembly includes a first hammer and a second hammer, wherein the first hammer is disposed in front of the second hammer and the second hammer includes a notch. A first elastic element pushes the rear end of the first hammer and a second elastic element pushes the rear end of the second hammer. A first tackling block is disposed below the hammer assembly and rotatable around the pivot. The rear end of the first tackling block is stuck into the notch of the second hammer. A second tackling block is disposed adjacent to the first tackling block and includes a trough allowing the pivot to be disposed in. The rear end of the second tackling block is stuck into the notch of the second hammer. A third elastic element pushes the underneath of the rear half portion of the first tackling block. A fourth elastic element pushes the underneath of the rear half portion of the second tackling block.

  • Publication number: 20100212648
    Abstract: A firing frequency controller which includes a cylinder body, a piston assembly, and a unidirectional seal is provided. The cylinder body includes a first orifice, a second orifice and a third orifice, wherein the gas flux through the first orifice and the third orifice are inequality. The piston assembly disposed inside said cylinder body is repeatedly moved. The unidirectional seal is disposed at outside of the piston and adjacent to the inner wall of the cylinder body. The unidirectional seal is contacted with the cylinder body and is kept airtight while moved at one direction. The unidirectional seal is not contacted with the cylinder body and kept non-airtight while moved at another direction. Because of pressure difference, the velocity of piston assembly can be adjusted and then the firing frequency of toy gun can be controlled.

  • Patent number: 6604517
    Abstract: A table tennis service machine is simple in construction and is formed of mechanical devices, such as a ball feeding device, a driving member, a deceleration gear set, and a ball ejecting device. The deceleration gear set is driven by the driving member such that the ball ejecting device is driven by the deceleration gear set in an intermittent manner, thereby resulting in a periodic ejection of the ball by the service machine.

  • Patent number: 4834058
    Abstract: A pellet-firing toy gatling gun includes a rotatable multiple barrel assembly with a number of barrels arranged in a substantially circular array that is rotated such that each barrel passes a predetermined firing position one time during each rotation of the barrel assembly. A firing mechanism positions a spherical pellet at the firing position and propels the pellet through a barrel in response to a cocking and firing actuation sequence. An actuating mechanism acts between the rotatable barrel assembly and the firing mechanism in response to rotation of the barrel assembly by effecting the cocking and firing actuation sequence in synchronism with rotation of the barrel assembly.

  • Patent number: 4709685
    Abstract: A ball throwing device comprising a pusher (16) operatively associated with a striker (12) through a timing mechanism (21) which incorporates a crank (22) set on a drive axle (23) and linked to the pusher (16). The crank (22) is adapted to rotate together with the drive axle (23) at the same speed, and also at a speed higher than the axle speed when the pusher (16) causes the ball (6) to move to the stroke position. Respective projections (31, 32) are provided on the drive axle (23) and on the crank (22), adapted to interact with each other. Such a projection (33) is also formed on the striker (12), while a yoke (36) is fixed stationary on the casing of the drive (24) and a spring-actuated stop (34) is made on the crank (22), the stop being adapted to interact with the striker projection (33) and with the yoke (36).

  • Patent number: 4694815
    Abstract: A toy gun for firing pellets wherein a trigger operates a firing mechanism which reciprocates a hammer through a firing point in the gun barrel to sequentially discharge pellets therefrom. The mechanism is operated by an electric motor which reciprocates the hammer by means of a cam and follower mechanism. This mechanism successively withdraws and releases the hammer which is continuously biased in a firing mode by a spring. Also disclosed is a pellet delivery system in which a magazine is slidably mounted on the gun body enabling one of a plurality of pellet sources in the magazine to be in communication with the barrel and firing mechanism.
