US 5,343,849 A · Rapid fire ball gun

Abstract

A rapid fire ball gun includes a hollow body supporting a pressurizable air vessel and an air pump coupled thereto through a check valve. An elongated cylindrical barrel is supported by the body and defines a cylindrical ball chamber having a plurality of spaced intermediate fields forming ball spaces therebetween and a final seal at the extending end of the cylindrical barrel. A plurality of compressible foam balls are received within the ball spaces between the intermediate seals with the outermost ball being received in a ball spaced defined between the final seal and the most forward intermediate seal. The cylindrical barrel is coupled to the pressurizable air vessel by a trigger valve mechanism which responds to trigger pressure by coupling the pressurized air within the air vessel to the barrel thereby expelling one or more of the compressible foam balls from the barrel.

Dependent claims

A ball gun for firing a plurality of ball projectiles, said ball gun comprising:

a body;
an air vessel supported by said body;
a barrel supported by said body and defining a generally cylindrical ball chamber having an inner end, an outer end, a plurality of spaced apart intermediate seal constrictions and a final seal constriction proximate said outer end;
means for pressurizing said air vessel;
and
trigger means, actuatable by said user, for selectively coupling said air vessel to said inner end of said ball chamber,
said barrel chamber receiving a plurality of ball projectiles between said intermediate seal constrictions and between said final seal constriction and its most proximate intermediate seal constriction.
