Abstract
The shooting device, such as a revolver, has a housing with a barrel-receiving opening defined therein. A cylinder and a barrel are attached to the housing. The barrel has a rear section with a cylindrical segment that slidably engages the cylindrical segment. A spring has one end attached to the rear section of the barrel and a second opposite end attached to the cylindrical valve for urging the valve against a groove section of the cylinder so there is a tight fit between the valve and the cylinder during the firing of the bullet. This prevents any pressure loss when the bullet is fired.
Claims10
A shooting device, comprising:
- a housing having a barrel receiving opening defined therein;
- a cylinder having a bullet opening defined therein for holding a bullet, the cylinder being rotatably attached to the housing;
- a barrel attached to the housing, the barrel having a rear section with a cylindrical segment;
- a cylindrical valve slidably engaging the cylindrical segment of the barrel, the valve having an outer diameter dimensioned to snugly fit inside the barrel receiving opening;
- and
- spring means for biasing the valve against the cylinder, the spring means having one end attached to the rear section of the barrel and a second opposite end attached to the valve.
A method of ejecting a bullet from a shooting device, comprising:
- providing a housing having a barrel receiving opening defined therein, a cylinder rotatably attached to the housing and a barrel attached to the housing, the cylinder having a bullet holding opening defined therein, the barrel having a rear section with a cylindrical segment, a cylindrical valve slidably engaging the cylindrical segment of the barrel, and a spring having one end attached to the rear section and a second opposite end attached to the valve;
- activating a trigger to fire a bullet placed in the cylinder;
- the fired bullet urging air in through an opening defined in the cylindrical segment and into a chamber defined between an inside of the barrel and an outside of the cylindrical segment to pressurize the chamber;
- and
- the valve, disposed in the pressurized chamber, being urged to slide on the cylindrical segment to engage a grooved section at the bullet holding opening of the cylinder to provide a tight fit between the valve and the cylinder.
