Description
(a) TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a pistol special equipment, and especially relates to a gun-clearing box.


(b) DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART

Generally, police, military personnel and security personnel, in order to protect the property and life safety of the people, they will wear a long gun or a pistol and will routinely carry out the target practice for the precise shooting accuracy.


After the target-shooting practice, the user of the pistol must perform a gun-cleaning procedure for the pistol to prevent the remaining bullets in the pistol from being accidentally fired.


In the past, the gun-cleaning procedure was carried out aiming to the air or the ground in a wild open place, but the people may still be accidentally injured by the rebound bullets after the shooting.


Therefore, there is one kind of a gun-clearing box currently, such as the Chinese Patent Notice No. 375273 “Pistol Clearing Box”, which can be used by the pistol user to carry out the gun-cleaning procedure toward the gun-clearing box and let the shot bullets stay in the rubber pellets or plates inside the gun-clearing box.


However, such kind of a gun-clearing box only has a socket for the insertion of a pistol at the top of a box-body to allow the pistol to perform a gun-cleaning procedure toward the box-body.


Since the diameter of the socket is larger than the outer diameter of the front end of the pistol, after the user inserts the pistol into the socket, the muzzle deflection is extremely likely to occur, so that the projectile is not directed toward the rubber pellets or plates but is directed toward the side of the box-body. As a result, the box-body will be shot through, and there will be accidental injuries caused by the bullets coining out from the box-body.


In addition, in the above-mentioned gun-clearing box, since the user still has to operate the pistol with both hands (such as holding the gun in the right hand and pulling the sliding-sleeve on the left hand), it is inconvenient to use.


SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In view of this, in order to improve the prior art, the gun-clearing box of the conventional pistol has problems such as easy deflection of the shooting and inconvenience in operation; Therefore, the present invention provides a gun-clearing box, which mainly comprises: a box-body having a gun-clearing space inside, wherein the top of the box-body has a cover opening connecting the gun-clearing space to the outside, and one side of the box-body has an assembly opening connecting the gun-clearing space to the outside; a cover-body coupled to the box-body to close the assembly opening; a gun-placing barrel having an placing entrance, a shot exit, and a barrel wall connected between the placing entrance and the shot exit, wherein the diameter of the placing entrance is larger than the diameter of the shot exit, which the inner wall of the barrel wall is gradually reduced toward the shot exit from the placing entrance; and a sliding-sleeve abutting assembly set in the gun-placing barrel, wherein the sliding-sleeve abutting assembly has two adjacent abutting surfaces, and has a gap between the two abutting surfaces; wherein the gap between the two abutting surfaces is inclined and reduced along the direction from the placing entrance to the shot exit; thereby improving the convenience and safety of the use.

Therefore, the above is a description of the components of the gun-clearing box 100 and the assembly method thereof according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and then the features of the use will be described as follows:


When using the present invention to perform a gun-cleaning procedure on a pistol 90 (as shown in FIG. 5), first, withdraw out the magazine 91 of the pistol 90 (as shown in FIG. 6), then move the front end of the pistol 90 toward the placing entrance 41 of the gun-placing barrel 40 (as shown in FIG. 7), and make the front end of the sliding-sleeve 92 of the pistol 90 abut against the abutting surfaces 611 of the sliding-sleeve abutting assembly 60 (as shown in FIG. 8). In this way, the user can use the gesture which holds the pistol 90 with one hand and apply force to the pistol 90 toward the shot exit 42 (as shown in FIG. 9). Therefore, the abutting surfaces 611 with the tapered gap is abutted against the sliding-sleeve 92, and the sliding-sleeve 92 is pushed toward the rear end of the pistol 90 while the pistol 90 is applied force toward the shot exit 42 (as shown in FIG. 10). The action of pushing the sliding-sleeve 92 back is repeated twice for withdrawing the bullet, and then the trigger 93 of the pistol 90 can be buckled (as shown in FIG. 11). If there is no bullet fired out, the gun-cleaning procedure is completed. If there is any bullet fired out, the fired bullet will be shot toward the buffer-body 30 and stay in the buffer-body 30.


Therefore, in the present invention, the two abutting surfaces 611 can be abutted against the front end of the sliding-sleeve 92 of the pistol 90 by the inclined tapered gap, so that the user can complete the operation of pulling the sliding-sleeve 92 with one hand to improve the convenience of the gun-cleaning procedure.


Furthermore, in the present invention, the placing entrance 41 of the gun-placing barrel 40 has a barrel wall 43 with a predetermined length which is gradually reduced in inner diameter to the shot exit 42, so that even after the trigger 93 of the pistol 90 is buckled, if a bullet is struck, the bullet can be guided to the buffer-body 30 by the barrel wall 43 without directly hitting the box-body 10 to reduce the damage of the box-body 10.


In addition, since the two abutting surfaces 611 of the sliding-sleeve abutting assembly 60 is inclined and tapered, if the front end of the sliding-sleeve 92 of the pistol 90 is inclined to abut and against the abutting surfaces 611 (as shown in FIG. 12), the sliding-sleeve 92 cannot be slid (that is, the barrel of the pistol 90 cannot be extended out) (as shown in FIG. 13). By means of this warning, it is impossible to complete the operation of pulling the sliding-sleeve 92 to prevent the pistol 90 from performing the gun-cleaning procedure in the deviated state to ensure the safety of the gun-cleaning procedure.


Next, in the above embodiment, the outer side of the box-body 10 can be further set with a grip handle 14, and the bottom of the box-body 10 can be set with a plurality of wheel-bodies 15 to be helpful for pulling the box-body 10 to move.
