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.

Easy loading toy projectile launcher

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.

Easy loading toy projectile launcher

A toy projectile launcher for launching projectiles, e.g, toy foam darts, from a hopper. One or more agitating members inside the hopper to enable the projectiles to drop into a firing chamber under the hopper. A hopper cover has a collapsible ceiling with nested members and a ceiling plate to maintain the projectiles toward the bottom of the hopper. A catch coupled to the ceiling plate engages an opening in a hopper wall to prevent the ceiling from collapsing when the hopper cover is closed. Where there are multiple vertically spaced-apart openings in the hopper wall, the catch may disengage from a first opening, and then engage a lower, second opening in the hopper wall, as the number of projectiles in the hopper drops and the ceiling plate descends in the hopper. A rotating track and a push rod advance projectiles from the firing chamber to flywheels for launch.

Spitball gun for use with paper ammunition

Described is a spitball gun that is operable for collecting, wetting, and projecting paper ammunitions. The spitball gun includes a paper advancing chamber having an opening for receiving paper ammunition and an advancing mechanism for advancing paper through the paper advancing chamber to a loading chamber. A water tank is also connected with the loading chamber. An indexing lever is used to cause paper to be pulled through the paper advancing mechanism while water is released onto the paper from the water tank. A firing pin handle with a connected paper cutter is used to cut the paper and load the paper into the loading chamber. Finally, air from an attached air tank is used to expel a wetted paper wad from the loading chamber and through the barrel of the spitball gun.

Apparatus includes one or more fillable containers (35) in fluid communication with a primary channel (32), which is in fluid communication with a fluid entrance opening (31) which is attachable to a fluid source. The fillable containers (35) are made of a material that ruptures upon propelling the fillable containers (35) against a target. Each of the fillable containers (35) includes a one-way valve (33) that allows fluid to flow through the primary channel (32) into a corresponding one of the containers (35) and to seal each of the containers (35) with the fluid therein.

HIGH CAPACITY MAGAZINE FOR SPHERICAL PROJECTILES

A large capacity magazine apparatus for spherical projectiles, such as toy foam balls that may be used in conjunction with a launcher. The magazine includes drum and clip housings and a rotatable sprocket with longitudinal flutes that together form a smooth pathway for the foam balls to travel in the magazine and to alleviate jams. The smooth pathway includes a helical path, a transition path and a linear path within the housings. A constant force spring provides a rotational force for the sprocket and a plurality of articulated rigid balls function to push the foam balls out of the magazine and into a firing chamber of the launcher.

Revolving sequential launching device for a toy projectile launcher

A revolving sequential launching device is adapted to be used in a toy projectile launcher. The revolving sequential launching device includes a guide member and a launch unit. The launch unit includes a revolving sleeve having a guide hole, a cam rail subunit disposed on the revolving sleeve, and a plurality of second gas conduits. The cam rail subunit is movable to be in sliding contact with the guide member during movement of the launch unit such that further movement of the launch unit drives rotation of the revolving sleeve. The rotation of the revolving sleeve brings the guide hole to be sequentially aligned with the second gas conduits, thereby discharging sequentially the toy projectiles.

Rapid fire toy launch apparatus

Apparatus and methods employing dual triggered feeding of projectiles from plural or multiple magazine clips with multiple interlock features in a rapid fire toy launcher employing a clips carriage mounted for translatable movement using a carriage selector separately positions clips in line for individual projectile feeding and launch. A propelling mechanism receives projectiles from an elongated projectile checking subassembly using a reversible projectile advancing feeder with a gear combination that advances and returns a pusher extension for feeding projectiles through the clips carriage upper portion. The reversible projectile advancing feeder is positioned in the housing forward the inserted magazine clips. Triggers including a propelling mechanism trigger activates a key and a fire key is activated with a fire trigger.

TOY GUN HAVING EMBEDDED MAGAZINE
