Ejection Launcher
20190212094 · 2019-07-11 ·

An ejection launcher is an apparatus that effectively ejects a payload while maintaining a compact structure. The apparatus includes an elongated enclosure, a cover, a trigger mechanism, a spring-loaded piston, and a payload. The elongated enclosure positions and connects the trigger mechanism with the spring-loaded piston. The elongated enclosure also houses the spring-loaded piston and the payload. The trigger mechanism releases the spring-loaded piston which forces the payload from within the elongated enclosure. The payload is a desired delivered item and is preferably a parachute. The trigger mechanism and the spring-loaded piston translates horizontal force into vertical force which releases the payload and reduces the release resistance. The trigger mechanism preferably utilizes and includes a servo motor with a output arm. The output arm pushes against a catch plate of the trigger mechanism and releases a catch pin of the spring-loaded piston.

EASY LOADING TOY PROJECTILE LAUNCHER
20190195592 · 2019-06-27 ·

A toy projectile launcher capable of launching a substantially large number of projectiles, for example, toy foam darts. To increase the number of projectiles that can be launched between reloadings, the projectiles are housed in a hopper. The hopper may include a movable rear wall which facilitates the loading of a large number of projectiles into the hopper at one time. A portion of a side wall of the hopper may be agitated to loosen the projectiles within the hopper so that they will drop into a firing chamber of the launcher more easily. A cover for the hopper may have a collapsible ceiling to prevent the projectiles from becoming improperly oriented in the hopper as they are being loosened by the agitated portion of the side wall of the hopper. A rotating track and a push rod may cooperate to advance projectiles from a firing chamber of the launcher.

Projectile Launching Device
20240210141 · 2024-06-27 ·

A projectile launching device for hunting and target shooting includes a barrel and a driver. A carriage is slidably engaged to a guide rail, with a lower end of the carriage extending through a slot positioned in a bottom of the barrel and extending along the guide rail. The driver is attached to the carriage and extends along the bottom of the barrel toward an open end of the barrel. A pair of first arms is pivotally attached to the barrel proximate to a butt end of the barrel. Each first arm is operationally engaged to the driver distal from the carriage and can be pivoted by user to pivot to charge the driver, which is locked by a catch. A switch attached to the barrel can be switched to discharge the driver to propel a projectile from the barrel.

Toy gun having embedded magazine

A toy gun having embedded magazine includes: a gun body having a bullet feeding slot; a top magazine cover pivotally connected at a top end of the gun body and having an accommodating slot and a first latching structure disposed on one side facing the gun body, the first latching structure is located at one lateral side of the accommodating slot; and a magazine assembly detachably disposed in the accommodating slot and having a main body, the main body has a bullet discharging funnel and a second latching structure, the second latching structure is correspondingly latched with the first latching structure; when the top magazine cover pivotally rotates from top to down to cover on top of the gun body, the bullet discharging funnel is correspondingly disposed in the bullet feeding slot. Accordingly, the magazine is embedded and hidden in the top magazine cover.

Elastic energy storage and deployment system
10288047 · 2019-05-14 · ·

An elastic energy storage and deployment system deploys a torsional spring that bias a cam connected to a cable. The cam is coupled to the torsion spring about a shared rotational axis such that the cam directs elastic energy to and from the torsion spring and the cable transforms rotational force into linear motion, with little rotational inertia, and the addition of angular acceleration.

Football snapper

A portable automatic football snapper may be built as a tube to launch football snaps while being lightweight and able to be carried by handle, shoulder-strap, or clipped onto another backpack. The snapper is small and can store a football within, and, when stood upright, may serve as a stand for a football placed on top to simulate an under center exchange. A stand built into a side of the bag extends to establish a base and ideal snap angle for shotgun snap use. Inside the snapper, a cup may be used to hold the football, may be pulled down and clipped into a pre-snap position, and upon release is pulled upwards, launching or snapping the ball in a spiral to the quarterback. The release may be manual, automatic based on a mechanical or electronic timer, or sound-activated or remote controlled allowing snap control by the quarterback.

PROJECTILE LAUNCHER APPARATUS WITH MAGAZINE

A toy launcher apparatus of a soft foam dart where the dart is loaded onto a spike in a firing chamber by a pusher panel that presses against the nose of the dart. The apparatus includes a dart magazine with a feed mechanism. The pusher panel is followed by a barrier sleeve that prevents the next uppermost dart in the magazine, which is being biased upward by the feed mechanism, from causing either the uppermost dart or the second uppermost dart to distort and cause a jam. The barrier sleeve also prevents the magazine from being loaded through a top opening until the uppermost dart in the firing chamber is launched. Near the end of a cocking cycle, the pusher panel, which is connected to a cam follower tab that engages a cam member, moves away from a launch path of the dart in the firing chamber.

Rail-to-rail coupler for toy guns and camera accessories
10197080 · 2019-02-05 ·

An apparatus includes two halves of a rail-to-rail coupler, wherein each half carries at least one rail engagement formation comprising at least two teeth separated by at least one notch to enable engagement with a portion of a rail associated with a toy gun that incorporates at least one rail stop; and at least one passage is formed through each half that aligns with the at least one passage formed through the other of the two halves to provide a dart storage position into which a dart may be inserted when the two halves are assembled together to engage a rail associated with a toy gun.

Ball-fetcher projection device
