Abstract
The invention relates to a pneumatic toy gun recoil device, which uses pneumatic means to substitute mechanical means like springs for cushioning and retracting effect, so as to resolve technical problems of conventional techniques. Said resolved technical problems, such as, the springs serve as mechanical means are easy wearing or elastic fatigue, and are also difficult to assemble and mount. Furthermore, the invention not only provides recoil simulating the recoil of a gun firing gunpowder propelled projectiles, but also has advantages of good quality control and long life for toy gun products.
Claims11
A pneumatic toy gun recoil device, comprising:
- a gun body comprising
- a gun midpiece having a primary chamber formed therein, a piston groove formed in the primary chamber, and a trigger element;
- and
- a butt portion being correspondingly mounted on a rear side of the gun midpiece, and having
- a pneumatic hammer chamber formed therein;
- a through hole formed in a front end of the pneumatic hammer chamber and communicating with the primary chamber and aligning to the piston groove;
- a first air hole formed in a rear end wall in the pneumatic hammer chamber and communicating with the pneumatic hammer chamber from outside;
- and
- at least one second air hole formed in a side wall of the pneumatic hammer chamber and communicating with the pneumatic hammer chamber from outside;
- a piston power module comprising
- a piston element having
- a piston body being correspondingly mounted inside the piston groove, and being able to slide longitudinally in the piston groove, and having a rack structure on a side wall of the piston body;
- a linking element having a front end abutting against the piston body and a rear end extending through the through hole and into the pneumatic hammer chamber;
- a retracting unit being correspondingly mounted in the primary chamber, and providing a retraction force toward a front side when the piston body moves backward;
- a pneumatic piston being correspondingly mounted on a rear end of the linking element, and being able to move in the pneumatic hammer chamber, and being able to block the air flow in the pneumatic hammer chamber and therefore form an airtight seal, the pneumatic piston being located at a front side of the second air hole;
- and
- a resilient element being correspondingly mounted on the pneumatic piston and a front end wall of the pneumatic hammer chamber, and providing the pneumatic piston an elastic retraction force toward a front side when the pneumatic piston moves backward;
- and
- a driving device being correspondingly mounted on the gun midpiece, engaging with the rack structure, and being driven by the trigger element when the trigger element is manipulated, when the rack structure and the piston body moves backward, the pneumatic piston is driven across the second air hole;
- and
- a pneumatic hammer being correspondingly mounted in the pneumatic hammer chamber, located at a rear side of the second air hole, and being able to block the air flow in the pneumatic hammer chamber and therefore form an airtight seal so as to define an air tight space between the pneumatic hammer and the pneumatic piston.
