Description

FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE

The present disclosure relates to an adapter for airsoft guns. More specifically, the airsoft adapter removably attaches to an airsoft ammunition magazine and to an airsoft ammunition reservoir to allow for optimization of high-pressure air flow and projectile flow for increased performance for game play.

BACKGROUND

Airsoft guns are a type of toy weapon used to simulate an actual firearm. Airsoft guns can be in a pistol, rifle, or semi-automatic gun format and use pellets for ammunition. Airsoft guns are used in a manner similar to that of paintball guns—a group of players simulate war or artillery strategy games in designated airsoft zones or venues. Players who have faster, more powerful guns and with the most ammunition will benefit over other players.

As with most guns, airsoft guns have the basic parts of a trigger, a stock, a hand grip, a barrel, and a magazine. Airsoft guns can function mechanically by the use of springs to launch projectile, pneumatically by the use of high-pressure air, or electronically by an electric motor gearbox. Airsoft guns that employ the use of high pressure or compressed air are the most widely used due to their combination of performance and affordability. The compressed air is used to fire projectiles when a trigger is activated.

Modifications to airsoft guns and airsoft gun accessories and peripherals are commonly done. Some airsoft guns may even be custom ordered but are expensive. As a more affordable option, standard airsoft guns may be customized through the use of adapters. For example, adapters can be made to connect a standard magazine to a high-capacity ammunition reservoir.

The problem with adapters generally available is their propensity to become jammed with projectiles or ammunition, leak air, or not fit properly. Such problems negate any benefits of using an adapter in the first place and can lead to injury.

SUMMARY

What is needed is an optimized airsoft adapter that is configured to be removably attached to an airsoft ammunition magazine and to an airsoft ammunition reservoir for extended and enhanced airsoft game play. In an assembled state, such an airsoft adapter sits in between the airsoft ammunition magazine and the airsoft ammunition reservoir. The airsoft adapter has optimized interior components configured to allow safe and reliable flows of pressurized air and projectiles through the airsoft adapter.

The present disclosure provides an airsoft adapter comprising a top portion with a magazine adapter piece that fits in or around the open end of an airsoft ammunition magazine. The airsoft adapter comprises a bottom portion with an appendage on either end for removably attaching the adapter to a docking bay of an airsoft ammunition reservoir with fasteners. The airsoft adapter assembly comprises a magazine fastening portion, an HPA output, a projectile conduit, and a magazine fastening hole.

The airsoft adapter has a crown on the top portion that fits into the open end of a magazine and ports to a compressed air source. The airsoft adapter-magazine complex can be attached to a reservoir by snapping a rectangular opening on the adapter over a corresponding area on a reservoir and attaching the adapter to the reservoir with at least one fastener inserted through at least one fastener hole and into at least one reservoir fastener hole on the reservoir to form a magazine-adapter-reservoir complex. The magazine distal end is inserted into an airsoft gun. The fasteners are removed to disconnect the adapter from the reservoir and can be connected to a different reservoir or accessory without needing to change the original airsoft gun or magazine.

DESCRIPTION

In the following sections, detailed descriptions of examples and methods of the disclosure will be given. The description of both preferred and alternative examples are exemplary only, and it is understood that to those skilled in the art that variations, modifications, and alterations may be apparent. It is therefore to be understood that the examples do not limit the broadness of the aspects of the underlying disclosure as defined by the claims.

FIG. 1 shows a schematic cross-section of an airsoft adapter according to a first embodiment. The airsoft adapter 10 comprises a base plate 12 having a base plate bottom surface 14, a base plate top surface 15, a proximal end 18 with a proximal end surface 20, and a distal end 22 with a distal end surface 24. All surfaces of the base plate 12 may be rectangular. The end surfaces 20 and 24 may be orthogonal side surfaces which connect the top and bottom surfaces 14, 16 on the proximal and distal ends 18, 22, respectively.

The airsoft adapter 10 may further comprise a magazine fastening portion 28 provided on the top surface 16. The magazine fastening portion 28 is configured to connect the adapter 10 with a complementary magazine open end 76 of an airsoft magazine 74, as shown in FIGS. 18-20. The magazine fastening portion 28 comprises a first protruding segment 30, a second protruding segment 32, and a third protruding segment 34 which are arranged in a stacked configuration. In the shown embodiment, the first-third protruding segments 30-34 are configured and stacked to achieve a pyramid-like configuration of the magazine fastening portion 28. To secure the adapter 10 to the magazine open end 76 of an airsoft magazine 74, the magazine fastening portion 28 comprises a magazine fastening hole 66 in the second protruding segment 32.

On its bottom surface 14, the adapter 10 comprises a reservoir fastening portion 38 for releasably securing the adapter 10 to an airsoft ammunition reservoir as shown in FIGS. 19-20. The reservoir fastening portion 38 may comprise a proximal appendage 40 and a distal appendage 42 to releasably secure the adapter 10 to complementary reservoir docking bays 88 of the airsoft ammunition reservoir 86, as shown in FIGS. 19-20. The reservoir fastening portion 38 protrudes from the base plate 12 in an opposite direction than the magazine fastening portion 28.

On its interior, the airsoft adapter 10 comprises an HPA conduit 50 and a projectile conduit 56. The HPA conduit 50 runs through the magazine fastening portion 28 and is configured to feed an externally supplied HPA to the magazine. The HPA conduit 50 has an elbow-shape and comprises an HPA inlet 52 and an HPA outlet 54. The HPA inlet 52 is provided on the proximal end surface of the magazine fastening portion, and the HPA outlet 54 is provided on a top surface 36 of the magazine fastening portion 28. In this configuration, the proximal end surface of the magazine fastening portion is an extension of the proximal end surface 20 of the base plate 12.

The elbow-shape of the HPA conduit 50 allows to reduce turbulence in the flow of pressurized air 62, which can minimize pressure loss and improve flow efficiency. Further, the elbow shape increases HPA flow stability, reducing the risk of vibration and wear on the system components. Finally, the elbow shape allows changing flow direction in a compact space which can be useful in tight installations where space is limited. Hence, with the elbow-shaped HPA conduit 50, a safe and reliable adaptive connection of various airsoft ammunition reservoirs to a given airsoft ammunition magazine can be achieved. This allows the player to engage another player longer without having to interrupt the engagement due to magazine changes.

The projectile conduit 56 of the adapter 10 is a straight through-hole and comprises a projectile inlet 64 and a projectile outlet 60. The projectile inlet 64 is provided on the bottom surface 14 of the base plate 12, and the projectile outlet 60 is provided on the top surface 36 of the magazine fastening portion 28.

Providing the projectile conduit 56 as a straight through-hole reduces the number of corners and bends, which allows projectile flow 64 through the adapter 10 with minimal restriction, which results in a better and more consistent projectile feeding compared to commercially available adapters. A straight through-hole was shown to reduce the incidences of projectiles getting stuck. Furthermore, durability of the adapter 10 was increased compared to commercially available adapters. Furthermore, the configuration of the vertical linear projectile conduit and elbow-shaped HPA conduit, arranged on either side of a magazine fastening hole made cleaning the adapter easier since debris accumulation was reduced. The straight through-hole design of the projectile conduit 56 is also simpler to manufacture compared to more complex shapes, which lowered the cost of production compared to commercially available adapters.

The adapter 10 further comprises a first appendage 22 and a second appendage 23. The first appendage 22 protrudes from the base plate on the proximal end in an opposite direction from the magazine fastening portion. The second appendage 23 protrudes from the base plate on the distal end in the same direction as the first appendage 22. The first and second appendages 22, 23 are configured to removably attach a magazine reservoir 66 to the adapter 10, as shown in FIGS. 19 and 20.

In preferred embodiments, an HPA conduit inlet presents at the proximal end of an adapter, above the proximal appendage, at the first protruding segment, and below a the second protruding segment. The HPA conduit has an elbow-shaped configuration that tunnels horizontally through the first protruding segment and vertically up through the second protruding segment and third protruding segment. The HPA outlet presents at the top surface of the magazine fastening portion of the third protruding segment.

In preferred embodiments, the magazine fastening portion comprises a plurality of step-stacked protruding segments. The first protruding segment is positioned on top of the top surface of the base plate and has a width less than that of the base plate where width is the distance between proximal and distal appendages. Subsequent protruding segments are stacked, each having a width lesser than the preceding protruding segment.

In preferred embodiments, the projectile conduit may present with an opening at a bottom of the base plate at the reservoir fastening portion and extend upward toward the magazine fastening portion and through at least one protruding segment. The projectile conduit outlet presents at the top surface of the magazine fastening portion. The projectile conduit outlet is presented parallel to the HPA outlet. The projectile conduit outlet may be positioned between 0.2 to 1.5 mm from an edge of the distal end of the uppermost protruding segment of the magazine fastening portion. The HPA outlet may be positioned between 1.5 mm and 2.5 mm from an edge of the proximal end of the uppermost protruding segment of the magazine fastening portion.
