Description

  The present invention relates generally to a device for firing a liquid bullet, to a target composed of a liquid reactant, and to a combination of such a device and a target.

  Devices that wander weapons or that can be used to mimic combat are constantly popular. Typically, such devices emit sound that signals the firing of a counterfeit weapon. In view of this, a device having a light emission mechanism has been devised as a device that simulates a weapon. Such a device has been sold with a light detection mechanism that can be attached to the main body, and the light detection mechanism generates a sound or sound when it is hit with light emitted from an enemy weapon. It comes to emit light. However, generally preferred by consumers is that the bullet is actually fired with enough force to shoot the enemy or other target from the imitation weapon. Unfortunately, during game play, there will be confusion or dispute over whether or not the player was actually shot by a bullet.

  Currently, sophisticated air or gas driven paintball guns are available, which powerfully fire bullets consisting of hollow balls filled with paint or dye. Such balls burst on impact and leave no doubt as to whether the target or individual was shot. Such paintball guns, bullets and related tools are generally expensive. In addition, paintballs fired from such guns are dangerous and require individuals to wear protective equipment during play. In addition, the paintball splashes the paint at the time of impact, and both the individual person playing the game and the game play place become dirty. Thus, paintball guns are expensive to obtain and maintain and are not suitable for children.

  Therefore, weapons or devices that are deceiving combat or combinations of these devices that fire bullets with sufficient force to shoot the enemy, but do not injure or mess up is necessary. The device or combination of devices comprises means for indicating whether an individual or target has been shot by a bullet. Such devices are desirably inexpensive to obtain and operate.

  Liquid bullets can be fired at a speed sufficient to shoot the enemy side from a device that has worn a weapon and without injuries. The liquid reactant is worn by an individual playing the game or is part of the target.

  Thus, according to the present invention, there is provided a combination comprising at least one device comprising at least one liquid reservoir and a liquid bullet firing mechanism in fluid communication with the liquid reservoir. When actuated by the user, the liquid bullet firing mechanism draws a portion of the liquid from the liquid reservoir and fires a portion of this liquid out of the device. The first device may be designed to be carried by the user or supported by the user's body. The combination further comprises at least one second device made of a liquid reactive material.

  The combination of the present invention can be provided as a kit or game comprising at least two second devices of the present invention and at least two second devices of the present invention, instructions for use Alternatively, a game play rule is selectively provided.

  According to the present invention, there is further provided a method of playing a game, the method of providing at least one first device of the present invention and at least one second device of the present invention; Firing a liquid bullet from the first device toward the second device so that the device can be fired with a liquid bullet. The step of firing a liquid bullet can be repeated at will until the game is over.

  The first device may comprise one or more colorings, patterns or displays, for example for decoration or to indicate the affiliation of different groups. Such a color, pattern or display may be associated with an actual military, sports team or athlete or soldier image.

As can be readily determined by one skilled in the art, the first device can be of any suitable size such that it can be handled by a person and can activate a liquid bullet firing mechanism. For example, the first device may be about 10 cm to about 1000 cm (eg, about 50 cm to about 700 cm, about 150 cm to about 400 cm, or about 250 cm) in height (ie, from left to right) and its height At about 5 cm to about 500 cm (eg about 50 cm to about 250 cm, or about 100 cm to about 150 cm), and at its depth (ie from front to back) about 5 cm to about 25 cm (eg about 10 cm to about 20 cm) Or about 15 cm). Larger or smaller values are accepted for the height, length and width of the first device.

For all or part of the first device, any suitable rigid material, such as heavy gauge paper or cardboard, wood, metal, It can be made from a plastic material, a rubber material or a synthetic resin. For example, the first device can be made from commercially available materials by injection molding or other suitable technique, such as thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), ionomer resin, ethylene vinyl. Acetate (EVA), thermoplastic styrenics (TPS), melt processible rubber (MPR), thermoplastic hard rubber (TPV), thermoplastic olefin (TPO), thermoplastic ester elastomer (TPEE) ), Thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), thermoplastic rubber (TPR), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene terpolymer (ABS), polycarbonate / Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene Original copolymer compound (PC / ABS), polystyrene sheet and polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA: ICI Clicks Inco (ICI)
Flexible plastics such as “PERSPEX” by Acrylics, Inc.), other acrylic resins, metals (eg, stainless steel, aluminum, copper), wood or combinations thereof. Other suitable materials and molding methods will be apparent to those skilled in the art.

  The first device may be supplied as a fully assembled device or as a kit, in which case the user may remove it from a flat piece of plastic, metal or any other material. The pre-formed parts are removed along the line of weakness to assemble the first device, and then the liquid bullet reservoir and liquid bullet firing mechanism are attached. In general, the assembly of the first device does not require tools and / or adhesives, and all parts can be joined together by snapping themselves.

  The liquid reservoir may consist of any closed or open container suitable for holding liquid. For example, the liquid reservoir may be a thin wall plastic container with a removable cap. In practice, the liquid reservoir can be refilled when liquid is depleted during play. Alternatively, the liquid reservoir may not have a removable cap or other refill means, in which case the first device or liquid reservoir is discarded when the liquid therein is depleted. And the entire first device or liquid reservoir is replaced. (Such liquid reservoirs will be disposable or will be provided in a small inexpensive disposable first device.) For liquid reservoirs, any suitable material, such as those described above for the body, may be used. Such a material can be used for the technology in the field. Also, the liquid reservoir may be configured to withstand internal pressure if, for example, the air and liquid therein are pressurized in preparation for launching a liquid bullet. The liquid reservoir can be supported by the body. As used herein, “support by body” means that the liquid reservoir can be placed outside or inside the body, or can extend through the body. Also means. It is particularly intended that the liquid reservoir may be coextensive with the body portion, for example, the liquid reservoir may be constituted by the body portion, It is included in the meaning of “support by”.

  At least one liquid bullet firing mechanism is in fluid communication with one or more liquid reservoirs, such as through a tube or other suitable conduit. The liquid bullet firing mechanism can be supported by the body. As used herein, “supported by body” means that the liquid bullet firing mechanism can be placed outside or inside the body, or extends through the body. It also means getting. If the liquid bullet firing mechanism is placed outside the main body, the liquid bullet firing mechanism may function independently of the main body and all components necessary to store and fire the liquid bullet (liquid reservoir Including). Such independently functioning liquid bullet firing mechanisms may be interchangeable between devices. Alternatively, the liquid bullet firing mechanism and the liquid reservoir may be placed separately and removed from the outside of the body, or may be replaced with the liquid bullet firing mechanism or liquid reservoir of other devices. You may do it. Also, the liquid bullet firing mechanism may be placed within the body and the liquid reservoir may be individually separated. At this time, if the first device is mimicked by a gun, the liquid reservoir can be carried on a belt or back bag. In any case, the portion of the liquid bullet firing mechanism (hereinafter referred to as the “release tube”) that will direct and direct the liquid bullet from the main body is controlled by the main body so that the liquid bullet firing is not obstructed. Do not be blocked.

The liquid bullet firing mechanism may be any suitable mechanism for withdrawing liquid from the liquid reservoir and firing it out of the first device as a liquid portion. For example, a liquid bullet firing mechanism can generally consist of a simple manual pump mechanism or an electric pump mechanism such as that obtained as a plastic water gun (see, eg, US Pat. No. 6,892,902 and US Pat. No. 5,373,975). . The entire disclosure of these US patents is incorporated herein by reference. With such a pump, liquid is forced directly out through the liquid bullet firing mechanism, for example, by actuating a piston operatively connected to a series of valves, which forces the liquid from the liquid bullet firing mechanism. Can be injected. Alternatively, the liquid reservoir can be pressurized by a pump so that when the valve between the liquid reservoir and the liquid bullet firing mechanism is released, the liquid moves outside through the liquid bullet firing mechanism. You may be made to do. The pump may also be configured to draw liquid into the liquid reservoir and refill the liquid reservoir.
U.S. Patent No. 6,892,902 U.S. Pat.No. 5,373,975

  Also, the liquid bullet firing mechanism may consist of a bag or other flexible wall container. The pouch or other flexible wall container can be overfilled to create its internal pressure so that liquid can be ejected through the opening of the liquid bullet firing mechanism. Moreover, the liquid bullet firing mechanism which consists of a bag-like body or other flexible wall containers may be squeezed so as to eject the liquid. If the liquid bullet firing mechanism comprises a bag or other flexible wall container, the liquid bullet firing mechanism and the liquid reservoir may be substantially coextensive. For example, a bag or other flexible wall container can be the liquid reservoir.

  Also, the liquid bullet firing mechanism can consist of a mechanism that injects a hollow or porous bullet filled or saturated with liquid. Such mechanisms are known in the art and may consist of an air system or a spring biased system, or the bullets are energized by the potential energy of a rubber band or other elastic material known in the art. It may consist of a propulsion system. As used herein, liquid bullets include hollow or porous bullets that are filled or saturated with liquid. In such a configuration, the liquid reservoir may contain liquid or may comprise a magazine or other similar container that holds a hollow or porous liquid bullet. Also contemplated herein is that the first device can consist of a hollow shell or magazine or other similar container holding porous material before further liquid is added. Liquid from the liquid reservoir is dispensed into a hollow shell or porous material to form a liquid bullet prior to bullet firing.

  In operation, the liquid bullet firing mechanism drives the liquid bullet through at least one discharge tube. The discharge tube is considered part of the liquid bullet firing mechanism. The discharge tube may extend away from the main body and may be configured to be aimed independently from the main body. That is, the discharge tube can be arranged so that it can be directed or aimed in different directions without necessarily changing the orientation of the first device. For example, the discharge tube or the entire liquid bullet firing mechanism can be installed on a ball bearing so that the shooting direction can be changed without changing the orientation of the other parts of the first device. Alternatively, the discharge tube is aimed by manually operating the entire first device by the user, for example when aiming with a simulated handgun or rifle. The discharge tube may consist of cylinders of different diameters (see FIG. 1) and may consist of other components such as nozzles.

  The discharge tube can be placed anywhere on the body so that when the liquid bullet firing mechanism is activated, the liquid bullet can be ejected out of the first device. As described above, the liquid bullet firing mechanism can be operated manually or electronically. In the case of electronic actuation, the liquid bullet firing mechanism fires a number of liquid bullets in succession until the electronic signal is turned off or the liquid reservoir is depleted without further input from the user. It is possible. Also, a large number of liquid bullets may be fired continuously by manual actuation of the liquid bullet firing mechanism. Alternatively, all liquid in the liquid reservoir may be effectively drained at once by manual or electronic actuation of the liquid bullet firing mechanism.

  As used herein, a “liquid bullet” is a form of a portion of a liquid, eg, a droplet ejected out of a first device by a liquid bullet shooting mechanism. Once fired from the first device, the liquid bullet is preferably not enclosed in any container. Further, the liquid bullet does not necessarily have to be fixed, that is, has a constant capacity or size, and the capacity or size of the liquid bullet may be different for each first device or between firings from the first device. . The liquid bullet may consist of a portion of the liquid in the liquid reservoir, or the liquid bullet may consist essentially of all of the liquid in the liquid reservoir of the first device, ie It should be understood that all liquid in the liquid reservoir may be fired as a bullet. The velocity of the liquid bullet when fired from the device of the present invention can be varied, but the velocity is sufficient to propel the liquid bullet at least some distance from the first device.

  The liquid that can be used to form the liquid bullet of the present invention is any liquid that is compatible with the components of the first device so that it can be ejected from the liquid bullet firing mechanism. The liquid may have a suitable low viscosity. Suitable liquids include water such as tap water, spring water, salt water, sugar water, mineral water or sea water; inks such as “disappearing” inks, other non-permanent inks and permanent inks; dyes such as washable dyes , Other non-permanent and permanent dyes; fluorescent liquids; fragrances; juices; liquid candy and acidic or basic solutions. In general, the acidic or basic liquids used in the present invention consist of weakly acidic or weakly basic substances so that the first device or its components and surroundings are not damaged, Alternatively, the user is prevented from being injured.

  FIG. 1 shows a typical liquid bullet firing mechanism. Referring to FIG. 1, a typical liquid bullet firing mechanism 100 includes a spring 105 that moves the piston 110 forward (nozzle 115) when compressed by the action of a trigger 120 as described below. The piston 110 is engaged with the piston 110 so as to push it. The piston 110 is provided in a housing 125, and the housing 125 includes a channel through which the piston 110 is inserted. In use, when the liquid bullet firing mechanism is activated by pushing the trigger 120, the piston is retracted backwards (away from the nozzle 115) due to contact by the flange 135 between the trigger 120 and the piston surface 130. . As the piston 100 is retracted rearward, the spring 105 is compressed between the piston surface 140 and the housing surface 145. When the piston 100 is pulled backward, the inside of the cylinder 155 is filled with water from the liquid reservoir 150. When the trigger push is performed over substantially the entire range, the trigger 120 is pivoted about the bearing (shown as hole 160), thereby disengaging the flange 135 from contact with the piston surface 130, The piston 110 is released. Next, the piston 110 is biased forward by the spring 105, and the liquid inside the cylinder 155 moves in the discharge tube 165 and is finally discharged to the outside through the nozzle 115. At this time, the water becomes far from the nozzle. So that it can be injected at a sufficient speed.

  The first device may also include other electronic components that are optionally connected to any electronic component having a liquid bullet firing mechanism. Such electronic components may be operated in cooperation with any electronic component having a liquid bullet firing mechanism or may be operated individually. For example, the first device may include components that electronically generate sound and / or light. The first device may also include an accessory connected to a drive motor operated by the electronic device.

  An electronic device suitable for use in the first device of the present invention may include a power box or battery box, which may be suitably provided within the body to house a battery or other power source. Appropriate wiring can be used for the connection of operable components such as incandescent lamps, LEDs, switches and speakers. These components may be supported or housed within the main body, may be provided outside or supported by the main body, or may extend through the main body. . For example, one or more portions of the body may be illuminated or shined by providing a suitable light source such as an LED mounted adjacent to a chamber having a transparent or translucent portion. May be.

  The electronic component may be operated by actuation of a liquid bullet firing mechanism and / or liquid flow within the liquid bullet firing mechanism. For example, the switch may be mounted adjacent to a conduit or a flexible portion of a conduit or a flexible portion adapted to carry pressurized fluid flowing from or through a liquid reservoir toward or through a liquid bullet firing mechanism. Such deformation or expansion of the conduit allows one contact element of the switch to be moved into contact with the other contact element, thereby operating the electronic device.

  Any suitable conventional, as known in the art, unless otherwise stated with respect to securing, mounting, mounting or connecting the components of the present invention to form the first device. It is intended to incorporate fasteners such as screws, bolt and nut couplers, screwing devices, snap rings, detents, clamps such as screw clamps, rivets, toggles, pins and the like. In addition, as is known in the art, the components can be connected appropriately by bonding, gluing, welding, ultrasonic welding, friction fitting or deformation, and appropriate liquid-tightness. And / or an airtight seal or seal may be used. For the electronic part of the device, conventional electronic elements available on the market, connectors, and appropriate wiring, connectors, printed wiring boards, microchips, speakers, light sources, LEDs, liquid crystal displays, pressure sensors, liquid level sensors, Various devices such as acoustic elements, input terminals, output terminals, etc. can be used.

  The present invention also provides a second device made of a liquid reactive material. As used herein, a “liquid reactive material” is any material that undergoes a change upon contact with a liquid. For example, the liquid reactive material may consist of a substance that changes electrical properties (such as impedance), a substance that changes color, or a substance that gains transparency when in contact with a liquid. Suitable liquid reactive materials include plastics or cloths that change color when wet, or surfaces coated with particulates (eg, powder, sand, fiberglass, etc.), At this time, the fine particles are changed in color when wet, or become transparent so as to represent the base color.

  For example, the second device may comprise a liquid responsive switch adapted to close and open an electrical circuit between the battery and the light source or sound source upon contact with the liquid. As is known in the art, a suitable liquid responsive switch consists of a pair of electrical terminals adapted to be applied at a certain potential. When dry, the impedance between the terminals is very high and the current that can flow is virtually zero. However, when damp, the impedance drops extremely and establishes a current path, which turns on a simple transistor circuit and closes the electrical circuit between the battery and the light source. Thus, the second device can be operated to emit sound and / or light when it receives a liquid bullet from another. Such a configuration can be used to indicate a “score” or “hit” by a liquid bullet when simulating a battle or playing a team sport with the device of the present invention. Also, the liquid operation switch may be operatively connected to the liquid bullet firing mechanism, such that the liquid bullet firing mechanism is temporarily inoperative or inoperable when the device receives a liquid bullet. It is done to be in a state.

  Other suitable liquid reactive materials include materials that react when contacted with acidic or basic solutions, such as pH indicators that change color upon contact with acids or bases. A suitable pH indicator is one that changes to one color (eg blue) when contacted with an acidic solution and to another color (eg pink or red) when contacted with a basic solution. Thus, the combination, game or kit of the present invention may consist of at least two first devices and at least two second device toys with pH indicators. One of the first devices carries an acidic solution in its liquid reservoir and the other first device carries a basic solution. Shooting from the first device carrying the acidic solution will cause the second device to change to the first color, whereas by shooting from the first device carrying the basic solution, the second device The device will change to the second color. For the initial color of the pH indicator on any second device, remove the acidic or basic solution (eg by washing with water) or neutralize the acidic or basic solution as appropriate Can be regained.

  The second device may be separate from the first device, or may be carried by or integrated with the first device. Therefore, the first and second devices can have various forms and can be considered variously. For example, if the first and second devices are separate, the first device may be a hand-held item such as a simulated weapon (eg, handgun, rifle, or machine gun) And for the second device, articles that are worn or carried by the user, such as shirts, vests, breastplates or other articles worn on the same part, trousers, socks, shin pads, shoes Or shoe covers or other articles that are worn on the feet or legs, belts (including harnesses or Sam Browne belts), badges, necklaces, medallions, helmets, hats or other heads Covers, gloves, rings or other articles that are applied to the hand, forearm armor or wrist armor or other articles that are applied to the arm, masks, glasses or parts that are applied to the face Other articles, shields, etc., or combinations thereof may be used. A typical example of the second device may be systemic or partial armor. For example, in the game, kit or combination of the present invention, a second device comprising a plurality of parts may be prepared, in which case the second device may be a different part of clothing or a different part of armor (e.g. A chest pad and a back pad connected by shoulder straps or the like.

  Further, the second device may be composed of a free-standing type, a self-propelled type or an irregular appearance type item such as an obstacle or a target. A typical target may be an item that is thrown or fired into the air, or a “pop-up” that appears at irregular intervals and / or locations to represent the enemy side during game play It may be an expression target. Such “pop-up” targets can be controlled by electronic devices as described above, as is well known in the art.

  When the first and second devices are integrated, i.e., when the second device is supported by the first device, the first device may be a simulated weapon (e.g., handgun, rifle, or engine). Handheld items such as guns) or other items, and for the second device it may be a target area or other designated area provided on the first device. As described above, the liquid reactive region can be operatively coupled to the liquid bullet firing mechanism of the first device so that the liquid bullet firing mechanism is in contact with the liquid when the liquid reactive region is in contact with the liquid. Temporarily disabled.

  Different parts of the second device may consist of at least two liquid-reactive materials adapted to react differently when wet. For example, one portion of the second device may be made of a material that changes to a first color (eg, green) when wet, and the second portion of the second device is second when wet. It may be made of a material that changes its color (for example, blue). Thus, the combination, game or kit of the present invention may consist of at least two second devices, at least a portion of which includes different liquid-reactive materials adapted to react differently when wet.

  Also, the second device comprising the target may be made of materials adapted to react differently when wet. For example, the outer area of the target (generally regarded as a low scoring area) may consist of a first liquid reactive material that changes to a first color when wet, and a bulls-eye. ) The inner region of the target (generally regarded as a high scoring region), which is the target central region, may consist of a second liquid reactive material that changes to a second color when wet.

  The second device may also consist of one or more liquid reactive materials, in which case the liquid reactive material may be a game board (eg, a tic-tack-toe board). , Chess board, dart board, etc.) and team sports competition fields or the like. Such a second device can be a garment that is worn by the user, as described above. Shooting a liquid bullet fired from the first device changes the color of different parts of the patterned liquid reactive material, so that the user does not actually use the game pieces The game can be played in such a manner. For example, the user can wait for an order to fire liquid bullets toward a second device of liquid reactive material arranged in a dartboard pattern. When a liquid bullet hits, the liquid bullet will cause a color or other change, which will display the shooting score. Different points on the game board can be assigned different scores. Alternatively, the second device consists of a liquid reactive material arranged in a pattern of a tic-tack-toe board. Each mass of the tic-tac-up board can be composed of a liquid reactive material such as a pH indicator that reacts differently when wetted with an acid or base, for example. Such a liquid reactive material may be arranged in various patterns, for example, x and / or o, on each square of the tic-tac-up board. Wait for the two users to fire the liquid bullets from the first device towards the game board and try to mark the three squares in a row. One user can fire a liquid bullet made of an acidic solution, and the other user can fire a liquid bullet made of a basic solution. Shooting from each user is recorded on the game board as a different color.

  The second device may comprise one or more colorings, patterns or displays, for example for decoration or to indicate the affiliation of different groups. Such a color, pattern or display may be associated with an actual military, sports team or athlete or soldier image. As can be readily determined by one skilled in the art, the second device can be any suitable size such that it can be used, carried and worn by a person. In addition to the liquid reactive material, the second device can be made from any suitable rigid material by using standard manufacturing techniques, as described above for the first device. Further, for electronic devices suitable for use in the second device, and means and techniques for constructing the second device by securing, mounting, attaching or connecting components of the present invention, see Similar to that described above for one device and within the skill of the artisan.

  The first and second devices of the present invention can be used to play a game, and in such a game, the user is required to shoot the opponent's second device. Thus, according to the present invention, there is provided a game comprising at least one first device, at least one second device, and rules proposed for play. For example, a kit or game may consist of a sufficient number of first and second devices for two teams or troops of players, where each team or troop is 1, 2, 3 4, 5, 10, 20, 50 or more first and second devices.

  Generally, the game of the present invention can be played in an open indoor area or an open outdoor area. The playing surface may be natural or artificial, and the playing surface may be a flat surface, a bumpy surface, or a stepped surface.

  The area in which the game of the present invention is played may be appropriately characterized by mark king, or may be provided with a display imitating, for example, a battlefield or one or more team sports stadiums. It should be understood that such a markking or display that mimics a battlefield or stadium may include a back region, side region, or other region where people who are not actively involved in group activities will be placed. Relative dimensions and shapes of team sport stadiums are well known to those skilled in the art, and such dimensions or shapes are readily applicable for use with the present invention. Can be achieved.

  The kit or game of the present invention also includes other items, such as a foldable housing for storing the first and second devices when not in use, a spare liquid or liquid reservoir, game statistics and results. Score card or other device for recording, candy or gum, toy, electronic device (such as producing light and sound effects during the game or performing live anus), time adjustment device, first or Stickers or the like for decorating the second device, as well as promotional items such as contests or baskets and team or competition equipment may be provided.

  The detailed rules for game play of the present invention depend on the type of game desired to play. For example, a game may have game rules that mimic combat. Such rules can be easily created and understood by those skilled in the art in the art.

  In one such game, a sufficient number of first and second devices for two troops may be provided. The individual playing the game decides in advance which part of the battlefield has which army has first control, and then which army can attack first. For example, both troops may occupy different areas of the battlefield, or one army may occupy the entire battlefield, and the second army will attempt to enter the occupied territory. .

  The game is initiated by one or more individuals of a given army attacking an individual of the other army, which attack from the first device of the given army to the second device of the other army. This is done by firing a liquid bullet towards A gamer is "injured" or "war dead" if his or her second device is shot with a liquid bullet. Then, the “injured” or “war dead” player is either removed from the battlefield or left in place and the game continues. A player who has been “injured” may hesitate to heal his wounded soldier and be rejoined on the game after an appropriate predetermined time has elapsed.

  As the game progresses, each army strives to secure a predetermined goal, and the game continues until either the end of a predetermined time or the goal is reached, or all individuals in one army Continue until “injured” or “war dead”. The surviving army, that is, the army that has acquired a predetermined goal, becomes the winner of the game.

  Although the present invention has been described in connection with the examples and various forms described above, other similar examples may be used or may be used to perform the same functions as the present invention without departing from the invention. It should be understood that changes and additions can be made. Therefore, the present invention should not be limited to any one example, but rather should be constructed within the breadth and scope according to the description of the appended claims.
