Abstract
An air compressed gun (10) is provided having a stock (11), a barrel (12), a trigger (13) and a manual pump (14). The manual pump is coupled to a swivel joint (31) which provides pivotal movement of the pump relative to the barrel so as to allow for a variety of gun configurations and uses.
Claims20
A compressed air gun comprising a stock;
- a barrel mounted to said stock;
- manual pump means for pressurizing a supply of air that includes an air cylinder, a cylinder rod and a handle mounted to said cylinder rod, said pump means being pivotally mounted to said stock for movement between a forward position generally parallel to said barrel and facing forward and a rearward position generally parallel to said barrel and facing rearward in a direction substantially opposite to said forward position;
- and trigger means for triggering the release of pressurized air into said barrel.
A compressed air gun comprising a stock;
- a barrel mounted to said stock;
- a manually operated air pump in fluid communication with said barrel;
- and mounting means for pivotably mounting said pump to said stock for the manual operation of said pump for movement between a forward, operable position generally parallel to said barrel and facing forward and a rearward, operable position generally parallel to said barrel and facing rearward in a direction substantially opposite to said forward position.
In a compressed air actuated gun of the type having a stock, a barrel mounted to the stock, a manual pump for compressing a supply of air, and a conduit for conveying compressed air to the barrel, the improvement comprising, means for pivotably mounting said manual pump for movement between a forward operable, position generally parallel to said barrel and facing forward and a rearward, operable position generally parallel to said barrel and facing rearward in a direction substantially opposite to said forward position.
A compressed air gun comprising a stock;
- a barrel mounted to said stock;
- manual pump means for pressurizing a supply of air that includes an air cylinder, a cylinder rod and a handle mounted to said cylinder rod, said pump means being pivotally mounted to said stock for movement between a plurality of manually operable pump positions relative to said barrel;
- trigger means for triggering the release of pressurized air into said barrel;
- and holding means for releasably holding said pump in each of said pump positions, said holding means having a detent.
A compressed air gun comprising a stock;
- a barrel mounted to said stock;
- a manually operated air pump in fluid communication with said barrel;
- mounting means for pivotably mounting said pump to said stock for the manual operation of said pump in a plurality of positions relative to said barrel;
- and holding means for releasably holding said pump in each of said pump positions, said holding means having a detent.
In a compressed air actuated gun of the type having a stock, a barrel mounted to the stock, a manual pump for compressing a supply of air, and a conduit for conveying compressed air from to the barrel, the improvement comprising, means for pivotably mounting said manual pump in a plurality of manually operable positions relative to the barrel;
- and holding means for releasably holding said pump in each of said pump positions, said holding means having a detent.
