Rapid fire compressed air toy gun

A compressed air toy gun comprising:

• pump means for compressing air;
• launch tube means for holding a projectile;
• conduit means for conveying compressed air from said pump means to said launch tube means;
• and
• control valve means for controlling the flow of compressed air from said pump means to said launch tube means, said control valve means comprising an external tube having an air inlet in fluid communication with said conduit means and an air outlet in fluid communication with said launch tube, an internal tube mounted within said external tube for reciprocal movement between a first position adjacent said air outlet and a second position distal said air outlet, a plunger mounted within said internal tube for reciprocal movement between a sealing position sealing said air outlet and an unsealing position unsealing said air outlet, spring biasing means for biasing said internal tube towards said first position, said external tube and said internal tube defining a first pressure chamber for releasably storing compressed air, said internal tube and said plunger defining a second pressure chamber for releasably storing compressed air, an air release valve in fluid communication with said second pressure chamber to controllably releasing the compressed air within said second pressure chamber,
• whereby compressed air from the pump means is conveyed through the conduit means into the first pressure chamber and between the internal tube and the plunger to the second pressure chamber, the compressed air within the first pressure chamber biases the internal tube to its second position while the compressed air within the second pressure chamber maintains the plunger in its sealing position, and the actuation of the air release valve causes the compressed air within the second pressure chamber to be released thereby causing the plunger to move to its unsealing position thereby allowing the compressed air within the first pressure chamber to flow through the air outlet and into the launch tubes.

• launch tube means for holding a projectile;
• conduit means for conveying compressed air from said pump means to said launch tube means;
• and
• control valve means for controlling the flow of compressed air from said pump means to said launch tube means, said control valve means comprising an external tube having an air inlet in fluid communication with said conduit means and an air outlet in fluid communication with said launch tube, an internal tube mounted within said external tube for reciprocal movement between a first position adjacent said air outlet and a second position distal said air outlet, a plunger mounted within said internal tube for reciprocal movement between a sealing position sealing said air outlet and an unsealing position unsealing said air outlet, spring biasing means for biasing said internal tube towards said first position, said external tube and said internal tube defining a pressure chamber for releasably storing compressed air, said internal tube having a portion sized and shaped to engage said plunger,
• whereby compressed air from the pump means is conveyed through the conduit means into the pressure chamber, the compressed air within the pressure chamber biases the plunger to its sealing position while biasably moving the internal tube to its second position, the movement of the internal tube to its second position causes the plunger to move to its unsealing position thereby allowing the compressed air within the pressure chamber to flow through the air outlet and into the launch tubes.

• whereby compressed air from the pump means is conveyed through the conduit means and through the air inlet to the control valve which continuously reciprocates the plunger for firing a sequence of projectiles.
