Description

The utility model relates to the field of toy production, namely to the design of a toy gun.

A toy weapon is known from the prior art (patent for invention SU1273135A1, published 30.11.1986), which contains a housing with a barrel, a handle and a magazine in which spherical projectiles are placed. Inside the housing there is a device for throwing spherical projectiles, which contains a pusher with cylindrical cams, a forked spring, segments. At the place of installation of the device for throwing spherical projectiles in the housing there are two symmetrical cylindrical protrusions.

A device for separating bullets in a simulated pistol is known (patent JPWO2016203554A1, published 05.04.2018), in which the bullet is fed to the loading section adjacent to the tip of the bullet, which has reached the loading section, the strikers are moved forward when the trigger is pressed. A separating element is provided behind the bullet loading section, which protrudes in the path of the striker when the striker retreats, and is pushed by the striker when the striker moves forward, thereby freeing the path of the striker, and separates the bullet from the front.

The closest technical solution is the Gap Bridge-type toy pistol simulator (patent CN210689375U, published on 06/05/2020), which comprises a barrel, a sliding cover, a pistol grip, a magazine, a bolt assembly and a trigger mechanism. The barrel of the pistol has an oblong hole, a bullet feed hole and an insertion hole. The sliding cover contains the upper magazine; the pistol grip is inserted into the mounting hole; the pistol grip contains a compartment for storing bullets; the magazine is clamped in the magazine storage compartment; The imitation bullets are cylindrical in shape and clamped in the magazine nearby, the breech block is located in the oblong hole and can store potential energy under the action of the trigger unit, the breech block is provided with a rod, the gun barrel and the sliding cover are provided with a movable hole and an exhaust hole, respectively, the rod passes through the movable hole and the exhaust hole, and an attracting element is additionally located in the gun barrel, used to attract the imitation bullets. Due to this arrangement, the main accessories of the body are removable and easy to maintain, the appearance of the bullet is close to the real bullet, the degree of simulation and the sense of reality are high, the bullet loading and bolt installation are performed at the same time.

The disadvantage of the above-described technical solutions is their low operational and gaming characteristics.

The task that the claimed utility model is aimed at solving is the development of a safe-to-use toy gun.

This problem is solved due to the fact that the toy pistol includes a body simulating a combat pistol, with a barrel and a handle, in which a magazine loaded with cartridges is located, with a spring and a spring-loaded stop, while inside the body there is a trigger mechanism, which includes a bolt, a return spring, a trigger, a striker spring, a striker with guides, inside the body at a distance from the magazine, sufficient for the cartridge to exit the magazine, there is a wall of the receiver, which has a cutout for placing the trigger.

The technical result is the improvement of operational and gaming characteristics, including ensuring safety during use, ease of loading, and simplicity of design.

The technical result is achieved by changing the operating principle of the trigger mechanism and the method of holding the cartridge before firing.

The essence of the utility model is explained by drawings:

Fig. 1 - internal arrangement of elements in the initial position;

Fig. 2 - internal arrangement of elements when pulling the bolt back;

Fig. 3 - internal arrangement of elements with the shock spring compressed;

Fig. 4 - internal arrangement of elements when the cartridge rests against the wall of the receiver;

Fig. 5 - internal arrangement of elements when pressing the trigger;

Fig. 6 - internal arrangement of elements when the cartridge moves along the barrel immediately before firing.

The following are indicated on the figures: 1 - body; 2 - barrel; 3 - bolt; 4 - return spring; 5 - trigger; 6 - magazine; 7 - cartridge; 8 - striker spring; 9 - firing pin; 10 - handle; 11 - magazine spring; 12 - receiver wall; 13 - firing pin guides; 14 - spring-loaded stop.

The toy pistol includes a body 1 with a barrel 2 and a handle 10, in which a magazine 6 with a spring 11 is located, loaded with cartridges 7. The body 1 of the toy pistol imitates a combat pistol. Inside the body 1 there is a trigger mechanism, which includes a bolt 3, a return spring 4, a trigger 5, a striker spring 8, a striker 9 with guides 13 and a wall of the receiver 12.

The firing pin is cylindrical and has plate guides (preferably two on the sides in the horizontal plane, one in the vertical plane), which move along the grooves of the pistol body. From the back, the firing pin rests against the firing pin spring and moves along the plate guides with the help of projections on the firing pin, due to which the firing pin rests (lies) on the guides. Thus, the firing pin moves (slides) freely under the action of the firing pin spring (forward) and cocking (pulling back) the bolt (backward) within the inner part of the pistol body. When cocking, the bolt, resting its projection against the firing pin projection and compressing the firing pin spring, moves the firing pin backwards until it stops, and returns back under the action of the return spring. When moving back under the action of the firing pin spring, resting against the jammed cartridge, the firing pin remains in the cocked position until the shot is fired (the cartridge is eliminated by the trigger).

The trigger 5 inside the body 1 has a flat shape, plays the role of a support plate and has a thickness smaller than the diameter of the cartridge 7.

The wall of the receiver 12 is part of the body 1 of the pistol, has a flat surface, is located at some distance from the magazine 6 with cartridges 7, sufficient for the exit of the cartridge 7 from the magazine 6. The wall of the receiver 12 has a cutout for placing the trigger 5 in the central plane of the pistol. The trigger 5 rotates around an axis that is part of the body 1 of the pistol. Due to the cutout in the wall of the receiver 12, the trigger 5 moves freely, and the cartridge 7, having a larger diameter than the thickness of the cutout, rests against the wall of the receiver 12.

The body 1 with the barrel 2 and the handle 10 imitate a combat pistol in their design. The bolt 3, despite its external similarity to the bolt of a combat pistol, serves not to lock the bore of the barrel 2 (as in a combat pistol), but to cock the striker 9. As in a combat pistol, the bolt 3 returns to its original position due to the return spring 4. The design of the magazine 6 and the magazine spring 11 is similar to that of a combat pistol. The design of the trigger 5 is a lever on an axis, its task is to lift the tip of the cartridge 7 and eliminate the misalignment of the cartridge 7 and the barrel 2.

The wall of the receiver 12 is made of such a size that it allows the cartridge 7 to exit the magazine 6 under the action of the striker 9 at the moment of cocking the bolt 3, and also to block the further movement of the striker 9 with the cartridge 7, causing a skew of the cartridge 7 (misalignment of the cartridge 7 and the barrel 2).

To implement the utility model, materials and design elements known and used in this field of technology were used. The device is assembled with screws and glue. The preferred material for making the gun is plastic.

By adjusting the elasticity of the shock spring 8 over a wide range due to the wire diameter, the winding pitch and the overall diameter and length of the spring, it is easy to achieve the required cartridge speed in the barrel bore 2 (the kinetic energy of the cartridge 7).

The device works as follows.

In order to fire a shot, the pistol must be cocked. The pistol is cocked by pulling the bolt 3 back relative to the body 1 with the barrel 2, while the striker 9, carried by the bolt 3, moves along the guides 13, pressing the cartridges 7 in the magazine 6 (due to the additional compression of the magazine spring 11). In the extreme position of the bolt 3, the striker 9 skips the cartridges 7, which, under the action of the spring-loaded stop 14 and the magazine spring 11, return to their place. When the bolt 3 is released, it returns to its place under the action of the return spring 4. In this case, the striker 9 returns under the action of the striker spring 8, pushing the cartridge 7 out of the magazine 6 until it rests against the wall of the receiver 12 and jams. In this position, the cartridge 7 is firmly held by the striker 9, and the pistol is ready to fire. When the trigger 5 is pressed, it eliminates the tilt of the cartridge 7, directing it into the bore of the barrel 2. The striker 9 pushes the cartridge 7 out of the barrel 2 under the action of the strike spring 8. A shot is fired. For the next shot, it is necessary to repeat all the previous steps (Fig. 2-6).

Thus, the advantages of using the utility model are safety when firing, ease of loading, simplicity of design; use of traditional/approved materials in production, maintaining low cost of the product, maximum similarity of operation/action of all mechanisms with a combat pistol. Safety of use is ensured due to the absence of high penetration ability due to the design of the pistol and the interaction of its elements: the striker spring 8 does not sharply strike the cartridge 7, straightening before the impact, but being in contact with the cartridge 7 through the striker 9, accelerates it from the moment of appearance in the barrel 2 (release when pressing the trigger 5) progressively, without impact, without losing contact, thus pushing the cartridge 7 for its advancement. Due to the fact that the spring 8 is in direct contact with the cartridge 7 and the release of the energy of the spring 8 occurs smoothly, no impact energy is generated and, as a result, there is no high speed at the beginning of the flight, which gives the penetrating ability to the cartridge 7. This eliminates the possibility of inflicting a traumatic blow (to a person who is nearby). With such an application, there is no need to significantly reduce the weight (mass) of the cartridge 7 - there is no risk of injury when using any mass/size of the cartridge 7 within reasonable limits. It is only necessary to change the elasticity/size of the shock spring 8 (adjust) to the size/mass of the cartridge 7 of the barrel of the pistol 2. At the same time, when manufacturing the cartridge, it is possible to use standard materials used in the manufacture of the toy (preservation of the design/model, attractiveness of the object). In toy air pistols known from the prior art, even a light bullet poses a risk of injury during flight due to its high speed. Due to the small mass of the bullet (less than 0.5 g), the kinetic energy of the bullet does not exceed the permissible 0.08 J, however, due to the high speed, the bullet has a high penetrating ability, it easily pierces several layers of newspaper, which can be dangerous for a child. Also, in toy guns known from the state of the art, the cocked spring (bolt) is held not by the bullet, but by the lock, and when triggered, a blank shot is made in any case (if a pneumatic piston, then with air). Often, children select more massive objects according to the size of the barrel (for example, metal balls), significantly increasing the risk of injury, since the same sharp impact energy is transferred to the object placed in the barrel. In the claimed utility model, even if you select / make a bullet of a similar shape, but different in mass and load it into the magazine, then when fired, it will receive a pushing force that does not have penetrating ability.

Also, the overall efficiency of the structure is achieved through the interaction of the implemented mechanisms:

Ease of loading is achieved by the ease of pulling the bolt relative to the body of the weapon. Since the striker spring 8 is an order of magnitude less rigid than in pneumatic pistols, and the grip area allows the entire hand and palm to be used, the technique is easily accessible to a child of any age (unlike well-known toy pistols, where the tight spring is cocked by pulling the hook with a finger). It is important that if there is no cartridge 7 in the magazine 6, namely the standard size and shape intended for placement in the magazine 6, the pistol will not be loaded. This eliminates the possibility of the pistol being triggered when other objects not intended for use as cartridges are pushed into the magazine 6 or the barrel 2 of the pistol.

The claimed toy gun does not need a tight spring, since during the shot the trigger 5 directs the cartridge 7 into the hole of the barrel 2 and there are no more obstacles on the path of the cartridge 7. All the energy of the striker spring 8 goes to the free movement of the striker 9 and the cartridge 7. When shooting from pneumatic pistols, the bullet must first overcome the resistance of the sealing ring (stretch it and crawl through it), and then move the bullet along the barrel channel. A significant part of the energy is spent on overcoming the resistance of the sealing ring. If a weak spring is installed in a pneumatic pistol, then the shot will not occur, a threshold value of spring stiffness arises at which the pistol will work, which is not in the proposed design.

The simplicity of the design is ensured by the direct interaction of its functional parts, without the additional use of auxiliary parts, mechanisms, or fasteners:

cartridge 7 from magazine 6 is fed to the shot under the action of the same strike spring 8, and is fixed, resting against the wall of the receiver 12. (As a rule, in known toy guns, a rubber sealing ring is used to hold the charge-bullet in the barrel until the shot, and a rigid spring is used to make the bullet slip through it; with a weak spring, the shot will not occur. Over time, the rubber may lose its properties and the speed of the bullet increases, and fixation in the barrel is lost. Thus, it is not possible to adjust the power of the shot by the rigidity of the spring during manufacture, unlike the proposed design);

trigger 5, when pressed, directly acts on cartridge 7, eliminating its misalignment (misalignment of cartridge 7 and barrel 2, which occurs when cartridge 7 rests against the wall of receiver 12), lifts the tip of cartridge 7 and directs it into barrel bore 2.

These actions are performed without additional devices, the minimum possible number of parts is used in the design, the technical solution lies in their effective interaction.

The design does not require the use of parts made of harder/softer/flexible/light/heavy or any special materials. All parts are made of available certified, homogeneous materials intended for the manufacture of children's toys. The configuration of the parts does not have complex, special shapes. This allows for the cost price of the product to be significantly lower than that of similar products that use the common technical solutions listed above.

The principle of cocking by pulling the bolt 3, the use of a spring mechanism of the magazine 6 with loading technology similar to real models of weapons, as well as the possibility of assembling the presented mechanism into the body of a standard, common configuration of weapons, allows the production of products that have a direct similarity with real models of weapons (for example, the Makarov pistol).
