DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

As shown in FIG. 1 through FIG. 10 , this invention mainly comprises a gun body 10 with sound and light effect, a feeding device 20 , a thrust device 30 , and a machine base 40 .

A gadget platform 101 and a modeling case cover 102 are located on the gun body 10 while a hollow handgrip 11 and a battery power device 111 located thereunder are disposed under the gun body 10 . A positive/negative electrode plate 112 is located at one side of the handgrip 11 for communicating with sound and light effect, and a protrusive snap dot 113 is formed on each of two lateral faces of the handgrip 11 . A feeding mouth 12 is disposed axially at a front edge of the gadget platform 101 , wherein a positioning slide channel 121 is arranged at an inner edge of the feeding mouth 12 , and an insert-to-fix knob 122 is disposed at an opposite lateral wall of the positioning slide channel 121 . A transmission motor 13 located in a silent seat 131 is fixed on the gadget platform 101 indirectly, wherein the shaft of the transmission motor 13 points inwards slightly in a predetermined deflection angle and elevational angle; a ratchet wheel 132 is attached at one end of the transmission motor 13 which is coupled with a start device 14 by a power cord; and a disk-feeding device 15 is positioned behind the feeding mouth 12 .

The start device 14 contains a sway block 141 pivotally disposed at an adjacency of the feeding mouth 12 , wherein an outer edge at one end of the sway block 141 is extended inwards while an ON/OFF switch 142 is placed under the other; the switch 142 is connected with the battery power 111 and the transmission motor 13 respectively by a power cord; and the start device 14 is used to start the transmission motor 13 for driving the ratchet wheel 132 to rotate at high speed.

The disk-feeding device 15 is disposed on the gadget platform 101 , and a trigger 151 is protrusively arranged laterally to the handgrip 11 , wherein the trigger 151 will drive a push lever 152 on the gadget platform 101 to feed a disk 21 .

The feeding device 20 is an open cylinder installed under the feeding mouth 12 for loading a plurality of disks 21 , wherein an insert-to-fix hole 22 is formed in the circumference of the feeding device 20 for grasping the insert-to-fix knob 122 of the gun body 10 to prevent the feeding device 20 from slipping downwards.

The thrust device 30 on the gadget platform 101 is formed by disposing a long rod 32 on each side of a crank 31 , and the long rods 32 are extended over the gadget platform 101 to form barrels of a laser gun 33 with sound and light effect, wherein the crank 31 is driven by an interaction lever 34 to enable the laser gun 33 to sway back and forth, and a protrusive knob 35 is jointed with a tail end of the interaction lever 34 and located outside the handgrip 11 .

The machine base 40 is provided with wheels and a deflection device 41 at its bottom portion to enable the machine base 40 to deflect automatically when it bumps against another body. A transmission gear 42 and a turntable 43 are located on the deflection device 41 , and a battery box 45 is placed laterally to the deflection device 41 . Moreover, a sound generator 46 (speaker) is disposed on the battery box 45 , and an insertion pillar 50 is arranged on the machine base 40 .

The insertion pillar 50 is a hollow body for inserting the handgrip 11 of the gun body 10 to form an integral unit, wherein a pushbutton 511 of a power starting device 51 is disposed laterally in the insertion pillar 50 , and when a user keeps the pushbutton 51 pressed, the power supply is started. Above the power starting device 51 , a positive/negative electrode plate 52 is arranged to connect with the sound generator 46 , wherein a dimple 53 is formed at a top end of an inner edge of each lateral face on the insertion pillar 50 ; a press knob 54 is disposed at an outer side of the dimple 53 for snap-fixing the protrusive snap dot 113 of the handgrip 11 when the gun body 10 is combined with the machine base 40 so that the combination can be separated again by pressing the press knob 54 ; and a transmission device 60 is laid under the insertion pillar 50 .

The transmission device 60 is substantially a large gear 61 engaged with the transmission gear 42 of the deflection device 41 , wherein a cam 62 with a plurality of tappets is pivotally disposed above the large gear 61 ; a slide rod 63 with a protrusive piece 631 at its one end is interfaced between the cam 62 and the large gear 61 so that the slide rod 63 can be driven to move right and left following movement of the protrusive piece 631 according to rotation of the cam 62 ; a weight block 632 protrusively arranged at the other end of the slide rod 63 is used to push one end of a sway crank 64 located laterally to the insertion pillar 50 ; and a press block 641 is fixed at the other end of the sway crank 64 for pressing the trigger 151 of the handgrip 11 to shoot a disk 21 indirectly. Further, a pinion 651 collared on a circular shaft 65 is engaged laterally with the large gear 61 , wherein a protrusive press block 652 is arranged at the other end of the circular shaft 65 ; a pendulous article 66 is disposed right above the protrusive press block 652 so that the protrusive knob 35 of the interaction lever 34 will be driven indirectly to sway the laser gun 33 back and forth when the protrusive press block 652 is pushed to sway the pendulous article 66 right and left; and by advantage of the interaction of the pendulous article 66 , pinching or hurting a finger poked into a gap unconsciously can be avoided.

A player may hold the gun body 10 of this invention to shoot disks by hand or plug it in the insertion pillar 50 on the machine base 40 , then press the pushbutton 511 of the power starting device 51 to start action of the machine base 40 . In addition to moving the gun body after the machine base 40 , the sound and light effect is passed to the positive/negative electrode plate 112 of the handgrip 11 and the positive/negative electrode plate 52 of the insertion pillar 50 respectively to actuate the sound generator 46 , so that he may pull the trigger 151 on the handgrip 11 during the sway crank 64 is swaying in virtue of the transmission device 60 to perform indirect shooting of the disks 21 . At this time, the transmission device 60 drives the circular shaft 65 to sway the pendulous article 66 right and left that in turn drives the protrusive knob 35 of the interaction lever 34 to indirectly cause the laser gun 33 to sway back and forth, and thereby to shoot the disks 21 automatically with sound and light effect. In other words, this invention can be applied in a hand-held style or in a self-propelled and automatic shooting style with sound and light effect.
