The following describes in detail an exemplary embodiment of the present invention with reference to the drawings. However, the components described in the following embodiment are merely examples, and are not intended to limit the technical scope of the present invention to those components.

[First embodiment]
A toy gun 100 according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 12. The toy gun 100 is a gas blowback toy gun simulating a shotgun, capable of firing three BB bullets simultaneously, and includes a magazine 101 and a gun body 102 including a receiver and the like.

Figure 1 is a partial cross-sectional view showing the configuration of the toy gun 100 as seen from the left side of a user holding the gun immediately after the firing of the bullet before the last bullet. The last bullet 141 remains in the magazine 101, and the bolt 128 has not yet been retracted.

The magazine 101 includes a gas storage section 111 that stores gas, a valve 112 that is pressed by a knocker 121 provided on the gun body 102 side to release the gas in the gas storage section 111 toward the gun body 102 side, and a BB bullet storage section 113 that stores BB bullets 140.

The magazine 101 further includes a follower 114 and a link part 115. The follower 114 is biased by a spring 117 to feed the BB bullets 140 stored in the BB bullet storage section 113 one by one toward the gun body 102. When the last bullet 141 stored in the BB bullet storage section 113 is fed toward the gun body 102, the follower 114 moves to the terminal position (upward in the figure).

In FIG. 1, the link part 115 is positioned in a first position that does not prevent the knocker 121 from pressing the valve 112.

The gun body 102 further includes a hammer 130 that moves the knocker 121 back and forth, a disconnector 131 that temporarily holds the hammer 130 in a clockwise rotated state in the figure, and a trigger 132 for operating the disconnector 131.

The knocker 121 is biased by a spring (not shown) in a direction that pushes it down toward the user. The rear part of the hammer 130 is biased forward (toward the muzzle) by a hammer spring (not shown), which biases it counterclockwise around the rotation axis in the figure.

The gun body 102 includes an inner barrel 122, a chamber 123, a nozzle 124, a cylinder 125, a moving member 126, and a linking member 127.

The gun body 102 has at least two (three in this embodiment) inner barrels 122. The chamber 123 is connected to the rear end (barrel base 133) of the inner barrel 122 on the user side, and the three BB bullets fed from the magazine 101 are branched and sent to each of the three inner barrels 122.

The nozzle 124 is arranged so that it can be connected and separated from the tip of the cylinder 125, which slides back and forth. When the nozzle 124 is biased by the cylinder 125, it becomes a gas outlet in a state where it is connected to the chamber 123, and applies a biasing force to the BB bullet 140 in the loading position to fire it.

As shown in FIG. 1, immediately after firing, the BB bullet 140 is not sent into the nozzle 124 and is in a standby state.

The nozzle 124 contains a movable member 126 that can move back and forth inside. When even one BB bullet is loaded in the chamber 123, the movable member 126 moves to a retracted position toward the user (right side in Figure 1), but when there are no BB bullets remaining in the chamber 123 as in Figure 1, it moves toward the muzzle (left side in Figure 1). Figure 1 shows the movable member 126 in a retracted position (right side in the figure) immediately after the bullet has been fired.

The linking member 127 is rotatably fixed to the nozzle 124. Because the moving member 126 is in the retracted position, the linking member 127 cannot rotate and is in a lower position.

As a result, the lifting member 116 is also in a lower position, and the left end of the link part 115 in the figure is in a lower position against a biasing member 118 such as a spring, and the link part 115 is generally disposed in the first position. As a result, the knocker 121 is in a state where it does not avoid pressing the valve 112.

The gun body 102 further includes a bolt 128 that slides back and forth. The bolt 128 is biased forward by a spring 129 and contains the cylinder 125 within it so that it can slide.

Figure 2 shows the state in which the bolt 128 has moved rearward (toward the user) from the state shown in Figure 1 by gas pressure against the biasing force of the spring 129, ready to load a bullet. The underside of the bolt 128 comes into contact with the hammer 130, which rotates clockwise in the figure against a spring (not shown) and engages with the disconnector 131. The rotation of the hammer 130 moves the knocker 121 away from the valve 112.

The cylinder 125 can slide inside the bolt 128, so it remains engaged with the nozzle 124 and does not move until it reaches the state shown in Figure 2.

In the state shown in FIG. 2, the feeding nozzle assembly consisting of the nozzle 124 and the cylinder 125 is also pulled back slightly by the bolt 128. As the nozzle 124 retracts, the BB bullet 140 and the last bullet 141 are sent into the space in front of the nozzle 124. The BB bullet 140 and the last bullet 141 sent to the space in front of the nozzle 124 push the moving member 126 to the retracted position at the rear (user side). As the moving member 126 moves to the retracted position at the rear (user side), the linking member 127 cannot rotate clockwise. On the other hand, as the last bullet 141 is fed, the follower 114 of the magazine 101 rises. The biasing member 118 provided in the magazine 101 pushes up the ends of the lifting member 116 and the link part 115, so that the two link parts 115 are rotated each time a bullet is fed, regardless of the rise of the follower 114, and the knocker 121 is moved to the upper avoidance position.

In this state, the moving member 126 moves to a retracted position rearward (toward the user), preventing the linking member 127 from rotating clockwise, and the linking member 127 is held in a lower position by an elastic body (not shown) such as a weak torsion spring. Because the entire nozzle 124 has moved rearward (toward the user), the lifting member 116 no longer receives a downward force from the linking member 127 and can move upward.

Figure 3 shows the state in which the bolt 128 has been pushed back as far as possible toward the user against the spring 129. When the bolt 128 moves from the state in Figure 2 to the state in Figure 3, the cylinder 125 is urged to the right in the figure and disengages from the nozzle 124.

Figure 4 shows the state in which the bolt 128 has moved forward from the state shown in Figure 3, and the cylinder 125 has engaged with the nozzle 124. Because the moving member 126 is pushed backward by the BB bullet 140 and the final bullet 141, the linking member 127 cannot rotate clockwise in the figure.

Figure 5 shows the state in which the bolt 128 has advanced further toward the muzzle than in the state shown in Figure 4. In this state, the nozzle 124 pushes the BB bullet 140 and the final bullet 141 into the chamber 123. As the nozzle 124 advances, the linking member 127, which is blocked by the moving member 126 and cannot rotate, pushes down the lifting member 116. The lifting member 116 pushes down the link part 115 against the biasing force of the biasing member 118, and the knocker 121 returns to a position where it can press the valve.

Figure 6 shows the state in which the trigger 132 has been pulled from the state shown in Figure 5. The knocker 121 is pushed forward (towards the muzzle) by the hammer 130, and presses the valve 112, sending gas into the cylinder 125. The gas in the cylinder 125 is sent through the nozzle 124 to the chamber 123, firing the BB bullet 140 and the final bullet 141.

Figure 7 shows the bolt 128 in the middle of being retracted by gas pressure. The nozzle 124 and cylinder 125, which are connected to each other, are also pulled back by the bolt 128.

A space is created between the nozzle 124 and the chamber 123, but since no BB bullets can enter that space (there are no BB bullets because the final bullet has been fired), the moving member 126 moves forward. This allows the linking member 127 to rotate clockwise in the figure, so the lifting member 116 can move upward.
Then, each of the link parts 115 rotates by being biased by the biasing member 118. As a result, the knocker 121 moves to the second position where it avoids pressing the valve 112.

When the bolt 128 retracts, the hammer 130 rotates clockwise against a spring (not shown) and engages with the disconnector 131. The rotation of the hammer 130 moves the knocker 121 away from the valve 112.

Figure 8 shows the state in which the bolt 128 has been pushed back as far as possible toward the user against the spring 129 by gas pressure. When the bolt 128 moves from the state in Figure 7 to the state in Figure 8, the cylinder 125 separates from the nozzle 124 and moves further backward (towards the user).

Figure 9 shows the state in which the bolt 128 has moved forward due to the biasing force of the spring 129 and is connected to the nozzle 124.

Figure 10 shows the state in which the bolt 128 has been pushed forward to its maximum extent by the biasing force of the spring 129. The situation is similar to that in Figure 5, but unlike Figure 5, there are no BB bullets in the chamber 123, so the moving member 126 has moved forward within the nozzle 124. As a result, the moving member 126 does not block the linking member 127, allowing the linking member 127 to rotate clockwise in the figure. In other words, the lifting member 116 is maintained upward by the biasing force of the biasing member 118. As a result, the link part 115 does not rotate, and the knocker 121 is maintained in the second position.

Figure 11 shows the state in which the trigger 132 is pulled with no BB bullet in the chamber 123. In this state, the knocker 121 is in the second position, so even if the hammer 130 separates from the trigger 132 and rotates to press the knocker 121 toward the muzzle, it does not press the valve 112 and gas is not ejected.

As described above, the configuration of this embodiment makes it possible to prevent the valve from being struck when there is no bullet in the chamber, providing a safer toy gun.

[Second embodiment]
Next, a toy gun 1200 according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 12 to 22. Figures 12 to 22 are diagrams for explaining the structure and operation of the toy gun 1200 according to this embodiment. The toy gun 1200 according to this embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that the magazine 1201 does not have the biasing member 118, and a protrusion at the lower end of the follower 1214 engages with the link part 115. Other configurations and operations are similar to those of the second embodiment, so the same configurations and operations are denoted by the same reference numerals and detailed explanations thereof will be omitted.

Figures 12 to 22 correspond to Figures 1 to 11, respectively. Since the follower 1214 pushes up the link part 115 and the lifting member 116 instead of the biasing member 118, the number of parts can be reduced compared to the first embodiment. On the other hand, the first embodiment has the advantage that the biasing member 118 is provided in addition to the spring 117, making it easy to adjust the biasing force of each.

[Other embodiments]
Although the present invention has been described above with reference to the embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various modifications that can be understood by those skilled in the art can be made to the configuration and details of the present invention within the technical scope of the present invention. In addition, systems or devices that combine the separate features included in each embodiment in any way are also included in the technical scope of the present invention.
