20220333892 · 2022-10-20 ·

A dart pistol utilizes an assembly of a pistol body, a launch channel, a carriage, a mainspring, an operating bar, an engagement feature, a trigger member, and a retainer pin to adapt a conventional game of throwing darts into a shooting sport. The launch channel is formed into the pistol body such that the carriage, mainspring, and operating bar are slidably mounted between a fore body end and a rear body end. The mainspring is connected between the carriage and the fore body end to impart a launching force to at least one projectile via the carriage. The retainer pin is laterally mounted into the channel to capture the engagement feature of the operating bar until dislodged by the trigger member. The trigger member is pivotably mounted to the pistol body, operatively coupling the trigger member to the operating bar to fire the dart pistol.

20170328353 · 2017-11-16 · ·

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.

Toy gun

The invention relates to a magazine for receiving and accommodating one or more projectiles in a toy gun. The magazine comprises a housing defining a chamber adapted to accommodate the one or more projectiles in a longitudinal, inline arrangement; a first positioning member arranged at the chamber and being movable relative to the housing; wherein the first positioning member comprises one or more first engaging means adapted to engage the one or more projectiles, such that the one or more projectiles are permitted to move longitudinally along the chamber in one direction only in response to a projectile advancing or loading movement of the first positioning member. The invention also relates to a toy gun having the magazine as described.

System For Protecting Ships From Torpedoes
20220307802 · 2022-09-29 ·

A means is provided for defending a target from attack by a torpedo with high probability. When a controller detects a torpedo based on an image generated by a sonar, it specifies a path of movement of the torpedo. If there is a water craft or the like within the path of movement, the controller instructs a launcher to launch a torpedo capture device and instructs mines to switch to detonation-off mode. Moveable devices of the torpedo capture device launched by the launcher in accordance with the instruction of the controller move in the water to spread a net. The controller then specifies a location of each of a first moveable device and second moveable devices based on an image generated by the sonar, and instructs the first moveable device and the second moveable devices to move such that the center of the net is within the path of movement of the torpedo. The first moveable device and the second moveable devices move in accordance with the instruction of the controller. When the torpedo reaches the net, the net captures the torpedo and the mines, which are in the detonation-on mode, explode the torpedo before it reaches the water craft or the like.
