Abstract
The present invention relates generally to an adaptor system for use with a pneumatic gun that allows for the delivery of a fluid from a tank to the chamber of the gun. The adaptor system can easily be added or removed from the cartridge cavity of a gun whereby allowing a user to easily convert between a gun that uses a cartridge system or one that can use a large tank system with an attached hose.
Claims11
An adaptor system for use in a pneumatic gun, the adaptor system comprising:
- a delivery tank, wherein the delivery tank includes an internal chamber, a conical funnel shaped first end, a cylindrical body, a bottom end, a first opening and a second opening, wherein the second opening is located on the bottom end of the delivery tank;
- a seal member, wherein the seal member is cylindrical and includes a first raised end that fits within the second opening of the delivery tank;
- a bolt member, wherein the bolt member includes a head, an outer thread surface below the head, a hollowed core, a first opening, and a second opening, wherein the seal member is intermediate the delivery tank and the bolt member, creating a sealed connection between the delivery tank and the bolt member;
- and
- a coupling member wherein, the coupling member includes a first opening and a second opening, the first opening of the coupling member configured to receive the outer thread surface of the bolt member.
An adaptor system for use in a pneumatic gun, the adaptor system comprising:
- a delivery tank, wherein the delivery tank includes an internal chamber, a conical funnel shaped first end, a cylindrical body, a bottom end, a first opening, and a second opening;
- a seal member, wherein the seal member is cylindrical and includes a first raised end that fits_within the second opening of the delivery tank;
- and
- a coupling bolt member, wherein the coupling bolt member includes a hollowed core, a first opening, and a second opening, wherein the seal member is intermediate the delivery tank and the coupling bolt member, creating a sealed connection between the delivery tank and the coupling bolt member.
A method of converting a pneumatic gun using an internal air cartridge system to a system using a fluid tank external from the pneumatic gun, the method comprising:
- providing an adapter system, wherein the adapter system includes a delivery tank, a seal member, a bolt member, and a coupling member, wherein the delivery tank includes an internal chamber, a conical funnel shaped first end with a first opening, a cylindrical body, and a bottom end with a second opening, wherein the seal member is cylindrical and includes a first raised end that fits within the second opening of the delivery tank, wherein the bolt member includes a head, an outer thread surface below the head, and a hollow core with a first opening and a second opening, wherein the seal member is intermediate the delivery tank and the bolt member to create a sealed connection between the delivery tank and the bolt member, and wherein the coupling member includes a first opening and a second opening, the first opening of the coupling member configured to receive the outer thread surface of the bolt member;
- threading the bolt member into threads of pneumatic gun;
- connecting the adapter system to the fluid tank external from the pneumatic gun;
- and
- pulling a trigger of the pneumatic gun.
