DETAILED DESCRIPTION

As shown in FIG. 1, the present invention provides a toy projective lauching device adapted for launching a projectile, comprising a launching tube for receiving a projectile; a catapulting cavity 36, located at an end portion of the launching tube for catapulting the projectile out; a trigger seat 30, located between the launching tube and the catapulting cavity 36, a surface of the trigger seat facing toward the launching tube and being equipped with a projection 311a for contacting with a bottom of a projectile; a catapulting rod 10, comprising a transverse rod 11 having a head end extending into the catapulting cavity and a vertical rod 12 connecting with a tail end of the transverse rod, the transverse rod 11 being equipped with a resistance matching member 13; a push-pull rod 37 having one end equipped with a push-pull portion 38, the push-pull portion 38 contacting the vertical rod 12 of the catapulting rod; a catapulting rod stopper 18, equipped with a first through hole 181 for the transverse rod of the catapulting rod to pass through, one edge of the first through hole 181 being matched with the resistance matching member 13 in the catapulting rod; and a trigger connecting rod 20, a first end being connected with the trigger seat 30, and a second end being contacted with the catapulting stopper 18.

In the present invention, the trigger seat 30 comprises a front cover 32 and a substrate connecting rod 31 located at the rear of the front cover for connecting with the trigger connecting rod. The projection 311a is arranged in the substrate connecting rod 31 and the front end 32 is provided with a through hole for exposing the projection 311a out. The trigger seat 30 further comprises two side covers 33. The two side covers 33 are located at the rear of the front cover 32 and are installed with the front cover together. The substrate connecting rod 31 is located in a space consisting of the front cover 32 and the two side covers 33. The substrate connecting rod 31 comprises a chassis 311 and a transverse shaft 312 that are connected with each other. The chassis is aligned with the through hole of the front cover, the projection 311a is arranged in the chassis 311. When a bottom of the projectile is contacted with the front cover 32, the projectile can contact with the projection 311a if the projectile is complete, thereby driving a transverse shaft 312 connected therewith. The trigger connecting rod 20 is fixed on the transverse shaft 312 of the substrate connecting rod 31, so that the motion of the transverse shaft 312 can drive the trigger connecting rod to move.

In this embodiment, the trigger connecting rod 20 comprises a first connecting rod 21 and a second connecting rod 22, which are rotatably connected with each other. The first connecting rod 21 is connected with the trigger seat. That is, a first end of the trigger connecting rod 20 is located on the first connecting rod 21, while a second end thereof is located on the second connecting rod 22. In addition, the first connecting rod 22 is further equipped with a plurality of installing holes 23. The installing hole 23 is larger than a fastener for inserting into the installing hole.

The resistance matching member 13 located on the catapulting rod 10 can be a groove, and an upper edge of the first hole 181 of the catapulting rod stopper 18 is used for blocking in the groove to fix the catapulting rod 10. The catapulting stopper 18 is further equipped with a groove 182 for a second end of the trigger connecting rod 20 to insert in. To be specific, the second end of the trigger connecting rod 20 is equipped with a boss 221 matched with the groove 182. When the trigger seat 30 is triggered, the trigger connecting rod 20 is pushed to pull the second connecting rod 22 out toward a direction of the trigger seat, so that the boss 221 of the second connecting rod 22 leaves the groove 182 of the catapulting rod stopper. In addition, one end of the catapulting rod stopper 18, such as one close to the groove 182, is further equipped with a spring for enabling the catapulting rod stopper to move along a direction of the pull rod buckle 41 in a reciprocating manner. In another embodiment of the present invention, the groove 182 can be replaced by a second through hole.

A baffle 14 is arranged at a side wall close to a tail end of the transverse rod 11 of the catapulting rod for contacting with two side edges of the catapulting rod stopper 18, thereby avoiding a too-long portion of the transverse rod 11 of the catapulting rod extending into the catapulting cavity 36. A hand-held portion 39 is arranged at one end of the push-pull rod 37 not equipped with the push-pull portion. The hand-held portion 39 is a transverse rod, a center of which is connected with the push-pull rod 37. A user can pull the push-pull rod along a direction away from the trigger seat through the hand-held portion 39, which drives the catapulting rod to move along the direction away from the trigger seat as well.

As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the present invention further provides a toy gun, comprising the projectile launching device and a driving mechanism, wherein the driving mechanism comprises a pull rod buckle 41, a projection slope 44 and a rotation shaft 46 which are connected in successive. To be specific, the pull rod buckle 41 is provided with a projection block 42. A projection slope 44 is arranged in a connecting rod 45. One end of the connecting rod 45 is provided with a concave hole 43 matched with the projection block 42, while the other end thereof is connected with a rotation shaft 46. The rotation shaft 46 can be sheathed with a bullet magazine 85.

When the pull rod buckle 41 is fastened, the projection block 42 located in the concave hole 43 drives the connecting rod 45 to move so that the projection slope 44 has a certain displacement to contact with a bottom of the catapulting rod stopper 18 of the catapulting rod sheathed in the device adapted for toy launcher projectile, and to support the catapulting rod stopper. In this way, the catapulting rod can move in the catapulting cavity to catapult the projectile.

In addition, the toy gun further comprises a shell. The shell comprises an upper cover 81, a first side cover 82, and a second side cover 83. The first side cover 82 is provided with a chute 84, for the push-pull rod of the device adapted for toy launcher projectile to slide.

Referring to FIG. 4 to FIG. 6, the baffle in the launcher rod is contacted with the catapulting rod stopper as soon as the projectile in FIG. 4 enters into the launching tube. The projection 311a of the chassis of the substrate connecting rod is protruded out of the through hole of the front cover 32, and the boss 221 of the second connecting rod is extended into the groove 182 of the catapulting rod stopper, so that the catapulting rod stopper stays in the catapulting rod and is prevented from moving along a direction of the pull rod buckle 41. In FIG. 5, the projectile triggers the trigger seat to drive the connecting rod to push the first connecting rod 21 so that the second connecting rod moves along a direction of the trigger seat, and the boss 221 of the second connecting rod leaves from the groove 182 of the catapulting rod stopper. The user pulls the push-pull rod 37 so that the push-pull portion 38 of the push-pull rod to drive the vertical rod of catapulting rod, and pushes the catapulting rod along a direction away from the catapulting cavity so that the catapulting rod is formed in an energy storage state through the pushing of an energy storage spring until the catapulting rod stopper is fallen down and blocked into the groove in the catapulting rod, the launcher rod is locked by the catapulting rod stopper, and the push-pull rod is returned to its original position at this moment. In FIG. 6, the user fastens the push-pull buckle, which drives the connecting rod 45 to move to drive the projection slope 44 contacted with the bottom of the catapulting rod stopper 18 to move and support the catapulting rod stopper upwards, so that the catapulting rod stopper leaves from the groove of the catapulting rod to release the catapulting rod, the catapulting rod moves forward into the catapulting cavity and generates a compressed gas in the catapulting cavity 36 from which the compressed gas passes from the through hole of the front cover 32 to the bottom of the projectile to catapult the projectile out.

In another embodiment, the baffle in the catapulting rod is contacted with the catapulting rod stopper before the insertion of the incomplete projectile placed into the launching tube, the projectional la of the chassis of the substrate connecting rod is protruded out of the through hole of the front cover 32, the boss 211 of the second connecting rod is extended into the groove 182 of the catapulting rod stopper so that the catapulting rod stopper stays on the catapulting rod and is prevented from moving downwards. As the bottom of the incomplete projectile fails to contact with the projection of the chassis after the incomplete projectile is entered into the launching tube, the trigger connecting rod will not drive the second connecting rod to move in any way under the precise that the trigger seat fails to be triggered, at this moment the boss 221 of the second connecting rod is still held in the groove of the catapulting rod stopper so that the catapulting rod stopping rod fails to move downward (a direction of the pull rod buckle 41). The user pulls the push-pull rod 37 so that the push-pull portion 38 of the push-pull rod drives the vertical rod of the catapulting rod to push the catapulting rod toward the direction away from the catapulting cavity. As the catapulting rod stopping rod fails to move downward (a direction of the pull rod buckle 41), the catapulting rod stopping rod fails to enter into the groove in the catapulting rod, so that the catapulting rod fails to be locked by the catapulting rod stopper, so the catapulting rod is returned to the original position under the push of the energy storage spring. At this moment, even if the user fastens the pull rod buckle, the pull rod buckle drives the connecting rod 45 to move, which does not generate any trigger action on the bottom of the catapulting rod stopper, so that the projectile cannot be catapulted.

The invention aims at addressing safety problems of catapulting toys and improves the energy-stored launcher in a mechanical structure to prevent from catapulting the incomplete projectile. Before placing the projectile in the launching tube, no hollow sound is made even if a pull rod buckle is tightened and the catapulting rod is still not in a catapulting state in case of placing the incomplete projectile in as well.

The preferred embodiment of the present invention is described with reference to the drawings above. Various modification solutions may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and essence of the present invention to achieve the present invention. For example, features illustrated or described by part of one embodiment may be used for the other embodiment to obtain another embodiment. The above is the better feasible embodiment of the present invention merely, but is not intended to limit the right scope of the present invention. Any equivalent changes made by the description and drawing contents of the present invention shall all fall within the right scope of the present invention.
