The invention relates to a pistol-like ball throwing device for table tennis balls, which is a Amusement toys represent, with the table tennis balls both for catching each other as well as can be shot at any target.

• As such, ball throwing devices are in the subject matter of the invention similar types already known. As far as this in the same way as with Subject matter of the invention have pistol-like shape, the firing mechanisms differ to the extent that from each other, as in the case of the known constructions, for which, moreover, a disproportionately larger number of Components is needed, either the dynamic energy of a helically wound ball Tension spring not directly, but by one that is in permanent contact with the ball Hammer, from the end of which it must roll, is mediated, or instead of metal springs Rubber bands for tensioning a piston-like ball ejection pin located in a cylindrical tube be used. In addition, a complicated repeating pistol is already known at which the ball is thrown out by a bumper under spiral spring tension.

From the already known ball throwing toys with leaf springs that throw the ball out of the toy the toy according to the invention differs in that the leaf spring is equipped with an additional, the impact weight increasing the centrifugal energy. Apart from that, you can use the previously known ball slings with leaf springs the balls only in not significantly deviating from the perpendicular Direction from a funnel which is also used to catch the balls will.

In contrast, the pistol-like ball throwing device according to the invention enables shooting of table tennis balls by the spring force of one which can be tensioned by hand and is held in the pistol housing Leaf spring in any weft direction. It consists of a housing made of wood, plastic or sheet metal, expediently made of two symmetrical halves, which are screwed together releasably at two or three points are with a conical barrel that tapers from the mouth to the rear to the diameter of a table tennis ball, whereby the inventive consists in the fact that one with a reinforcing the force of the leaf spring force in the housing Weight provided powerful spring, which is designed in a known manner as a leaf spring is located. This is either firmly inserted at its foot end in the handle part of the gun housing (Fig. 1), or it can be fixed by means of a leaf spring

Pistol type ball throwing device

Applicant:

Dipl.-Ing. Georg Sautier, Offenbach / M. _r Isenburgring 9

Dipl.-Ing. Georg Sautier, Offenbach / M., Has been named as the inventor

on the back of the gun housing behind the barrel (Fig. 2). As another feature of the invention are two opposing small noses in the form of retaining cams in the Running part of the housing arranged directly in front of its conical taper on the table tennis ball diameter, which prevent the ball from falling out and a certain pretension for the best possible effect ensure the virtual energy that the ball is imparted by the leaf spring relaxation will.

For that embodiment of the ball throwing device according to the invention in which the flapping leaf spring is inserted into the Pietolen handle part, this spring is provided with a tension button, the is attached by means of a small round rod at the free upper end of the leaf spring. The tensioning of the Spring takes place by pulling back this tension button up to its stop, whereby the leaf spring is pushes into a holding pawl that is rigidly connected to the trigger located in the cock yoke and thus is fixed in a tensioned position. The trigger has

a guide pin with compression spring, which pulls it back into its rest position after each time the tensioned leaf spring is disengaged returns. By peeling it off, d. H. Withdrawing the trigger gives the retaining pawl the cocked one Flapping leaf spring free, with the weight against the table tennis ball, which increases the impact force considerably strikes and thereby locks it out of the barrel of the pistol-like housing.

With a leaf spring fixed behind the barrel by means of a leaf spring holder on the back of the pistol housing A trigger is spring-mounted in the cock of the pistol housing, by pulling it back the leaf spring is tensioned and finally released at the end point of the retraction movement,

whereby the leaf spring tension force in all its dynamic force on the in the gun barrel up The table tennis ball is pressed to the stop and depending on the strength of the leaf spring, it strikes 5 to 10 m shoots out of the gun barrel. The trigger has a resilient stop, the free end of which is when you let go of the cock again pushes in front of the leaf spring, so that it can be removed by pulling back the The trigger valve can be tensioned again immediately.

The drawing shows the invention in two exemplary embodiments represent.

Fig. 1 shows a pistol-like ball throwing device in section, with 1 the retaining lugs are designated for the table tennis ball 2, which are arranged in the tapered end of the conical gun barrel 3 are, while with 4 the trigger guard, with 5 the trigger, with 6 the pistol grip with a Holder for the flapping leaf spring, with 7 the retaining pawl for the tensioned flapping leaf spring 8, with 9 the weight increasing the spring balance, with 10 the Leaf spring tension button, labeled with 11 the trigger pressure spring and with 12 the trigger guide pin is.

Fig. 2 shows a different embodiment of the pistol-like ball throwing device in section. In this sectional drawing, the individual parts are labeled accordingly, namely with 1 the retaining lugs for the table tennis ball 2, with 3 the conical pistol barrel, with 4 the trigger handle, with 5 the trigger, with 6 the pistol grip, with T the spring tension stop of the trigger, with 8 the flapping leaf spring and with 9 the weight which reinforces the spring blow.

Claims (4)

Patent claims: 1. Pistol-like ball throwing device with a conically widening barrel for shooting table tennis balls by the spring force of a spring which can be tensioned by hand and is held in the pistol housing and which is released by a spring-loaded trigger in the extreme tensioning position for launching the ball ¹ , characterized in that that the spring which launches the ball is designed in a manner known per se as a strong leaf spring (8) and is provided with a weight (9) which increases the impact energy at the point where the ball is thrown. 2. Pistol-like ball throwing device according to claim 1, characterized in that in the Gun barrel immediately before it is tapered to the ball diameter two opposite, Pre-tensioning noses (1) that prevent the ball from falling out are located. 3. Pistol-like ball throwing device according to claim 1 and 2, characterized in that the Flapping leaf spring (8), the holder of which is arranged in the handle (6) of the gun housing (Fig. 1) and which has a tension button (10) at its free end protruding from the pistol housing, after clamping in one with the one in the Hahnafo bracket (4) located Abzug'hahn (5) rigidly connected retaining pawl (7) can be locked. 4. Pistol-like ball throwing device according to claim 1 and 2, characterized in that the Flapping leaf spring holder in the upper part of the pistol housing immediately behind the barrel (Fig. 2) is arranged and the trigger (5), which is resiliently mounted in the trigger guard (4), has one on one side resilient, pushing itself after each shot in front of the free end of the relaxed leaf spring (8) Has stop (7 '). 35 Documents considered: German Patent No. 614 500; French Patent Nos. 775,343, 823,285; U.S. Patent Nos. 2,476,212, 2,636,738. 1 sheet of drawings ® 509 530/72 6.
