Abstract
An improved paint ball gun and improved rotary breech, regulator, control valve, power piston and power valve assemblies for utilization in paint ball guns or related devices. The paint ball gun eliminates moving metal to metal surfaces to provide a consistent operation and easy regulation. The paint ball gun has a rotary breech to minimize damage to paint balls utilized in the paint ball guns.
Claims9
An improved paint ball gun having a barrel and adapted to be coupled to a source of gas pressure, comprising:
- means for regulating the gas pressure, said means for regulating including a laterally movable piston biased into an open position and being movable into a closed position in response to a predetermined operating gas pressure being attained for forcing said movable piston into said closed position, and means for regulating said operating gas pressure by adjusting the lateral location of the closed position for said piston;
- means for coupling said gas pressure from said regulating means to a pressure chamber in a loading position;
- means for loading a paint ball into the barrel, said means for loading said paint ball gun being operable to achieve said loading as a result of gas pressure applied thereto, and
- means for triggering said gas pressure from said pressure chamber into said barrel to propel said paint ball through said barrel directly as a result of said gas pressure thereon.
An improved paint ball gun having a barrel and adapted to be coupled to a source of gas pressure, comprising:
- means for coupling said gas pressure into a pressure chamber in a loading position;
- means for loading a paint ball into the barrel, said means for loading said paint ball gun being operable to achieve said loading as a result of gas pressure applied thereto;
- means for triggering said gas pressure from said pressure chamber into said barrel to propel said paint ball through said barrel directly as a result of said gas pressure thereon;
- and
- valving means for coupling said gas pressure to said paint ball loading means to move said paint ball loading means into said loading position and for coupling said gas pressure from said triggering means to move said paint ball loading means into a firing position for firing said paint bail.
An improved gas regulator assembly mountable in a housing and adapted to be coupled to a source of gas pressure, comprising:
- means for regulating the gas pressure including laterally movable piston biased into an open position and being movable into a closed position inresponse to a predetermined operating gas pressure being attained for forcing said movable piston into said closed position, and means for controlling said operating gas pressure by adjusting the lateral location of the closed position for said piston.
An improved paint ball gun having a barrel and adapted to be coupled to a source of gas pressure, comprising:
- means for regulating the gas pressure;
- means for coupling said gas pressure from said regulating means to a pressure chamber in a loading position;
- means for loading a paint ball into the barrel, said means for loading said paint ball gun being operable to achieve said loading as a result of gas pressure applied thereto;
- valving means for coupling said gas pressure to said paint ball loading means for moving said paint ball loading means into said loading position, and for coupling said gas pressure from said triggering means to move said paint ball loading means into a firing position for firing said paint ball;
- and
- means for triggering said gas pressure from said pressure chamber into said barrel to propel said paint ball through said barrel directly as a result of said gas pressure thereon.
