Abstract
A toy projectile launcher pistol having a handle with an internal projectile storage area; at least one pair of inwardly biased resilient flaps; an air piston assembly having a barrel and a plunger element; a sliding handle coupled to the barrel, the sliding handle and barrel being movable between a forward position and a backward position; a compression spring that biases the plunger element against a rear wall in the toy projectile launcher pistol; and a latching assembly that couples the plunger element to a trigger assembly when the sliding handle is moved to the backward position, and the trigger assembly, upon toggling, releasing the coupling of the latching assembly between the plunger element and the trigger assembly.
Claims14
A toy projectile launcher, comprising:
- a handle comprising an internal projectile storage area;
- at least one pair of resilient flaps, the at least one pair of resilient flaps being inwardly biased and disposed on respective first and second sides at a top opening of the internal projectile storage area;
- an air piston assembly that comprises a barrel and a plunger element;
- a sliding handle coupled to the barrel, the sliding handle being movable between a forward position and a backward position, thereby moving the barrel between corresponding forward and backward positions;
- a compression spring that biases the plunger element against a rear wall in the toy projectile launcher;
- and
- a latching assembly that couples the plunger element to a trigger assembly when the sliding handle is moved to the backward position and the barrel is moved to the corresponding backward position, wherein
- the barrel covers at least a portion of the top opening when in the corresponding forward position and the one or more pairs of resilient flaps contact the respective first and second sides of the barrel, and
- the trigger assembly, upon toggling, releases the coupling of the latching assembly between the plunger element and the trigger assembly, and
- the projectile storage area is disposed at a rearward position on the launcher relative to a position of the trigger assembly.
A toy projectile launcher, comprising:
- a projectile storage area;
- a front pair of inwardly-biased resilient flaps disposed on respective first and second sides at a front portion of a top opening of the projectile storage area;
- a rear pair of inwardly-biased resilient flaps disposed on the respective first and second sides at a rear portion of the top opening of the projectile storage area;
- an oval-shaped air piston assembly that comprises a barrel and a plunger element;
- a sliding handle coupled to the barrel, the sliding handle being movable between a forward position and a backward position, thereby moving the barrel between corresponding forward and backward positions;
- a compression spring that biases the plunger element against a rear wall in the toy projectile launcher;
- and
- a latching assembly that couples the plunger element to a trigger assembly when the sliding handle is moved to the backward position and the barrel is moved to the corresponding backward position, wherein
- the barrel covers the top opening when in the corresponding forward position and the front and rear pairs of the inwardly-biased resilient flaps contact the respective first and second sides of the barrel,
- the trigger assembly, upon toggling, releases the coupling of the latching assembly between the plunger element and the trigger assembly, and
- the projectile storage area is disposed at a rearward position on the launcher relative to a position of the trigger assembly.
A toy projectile launcher, comprising:
- a body and a handle;
- a projectile storage area in the handle in communication with the body;
- an air piston assembly in the body, the air piston assembly comprising a barrel, a plunger element and a nozzle;
- the barrel moveable relative to the plunger from an uncocked position to a cocked position wherein the nozzle is immediately adjacent the projectile storage area adjacent the body in the cocked position
- the projectile storage area is disposed at a rearward position on the launcher relative to a position of at least a portion of a trigger assembly of the launcher.
