Nevertheless, since not every user is of the good habit of placing and storing the hand tool for the toy gun at proper places all the time after his or her use, the occasion of losing the hand tool due to such as misplacing of the tool or forgetting the previous location of the tool may happen, which can be quite inconvenient and troublesome to the user in addition to that he or she may even need to purchase a new hand tool for the toy gun as the tool may be found to be lost after some time-consuming searches.
In view of the above, the inventor seeks to provide a novel solution to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks associated with the known arts along with years of experience and application of theoretical principles in the field.
An objective of the present invention is to provide a toy gun with a built-in hand tool capable of facilitating the storage of a hand tool for the toy gun and allowing convenient disassembly, assembly or piercing of the air bottle by the user in order to increase the convenience of the use of the toy gun.
To achieve the aforementioned objective, the present invention provides a toy gun with a built-in hand tool, comprising:
The present invention also has the following merits and technical effects:
First, the toy gun further includes an air bottle and a rotational shaft; the hand tool is able to drive the rotational shaft to rotate in order to allow the rotational shaft to push against the air bottle such that the air bottle can be pushed toward the air valve and pierced thereby; therefore, the convenience of the use of the toy gun is increased.
Second, the hand tool can be used for fastening or releasing the fastening members on the toy gun in order to facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the toy gun; therefore, the convenience of the use of the toy gun is increased.
Third, the hand tool is connected to the cover housing and stored inside the receiving slot such that the hand tool is stored inside the toy gun in order to prevent misplacement and accidental loss of the hand tool in addition to that when there is a need for the hand tool for auxiliary uses on the toy gun, the hand tool is readily available and can be retrieved from the toy gun immediately.
Fourth, the present invention is able to achieve the effect having he cover housing covered onto the gun handle correspondingly by using simple cooperation among components thereof such that the toy gun is of the merits of simplified assembly and low cost.
The following provides detailed description of embodiments of the present invention along with the accompanied drawings. It can, however, be understood that the accompanied drawings are provided for illustrative purposes only and shall not be treated as limitations to the present invention.
Please refer to
As shown in
The following provides further details. The gun handle 11 includes a side wall 12 on one side thereof and a bottom wall 13 formed at a bottom portion thereof. The side wall 12 includes an air bottle slot 121. The locking portion 111 and the receiving slot 113 are formed on the side wall 12. The bottom wall 13 includes an opening slot 131 connected to the air bottle slot 121, and the opening slot 131 includes an inner threaded portion 132 formed at an inner circumferential edge thereof
Furthermore, the gun handle 11 includes an inner wall 14 formed inside the air bottle slot 121. The locking portion 111 is formed by two protrusions 141 extended from two opposite sides of the inner wall 14. In addition, the side wall 12 includes a locking slot 122 and a plurality of positioning holes 123 formed thereon.
As shown in
The following provides further details. The attachment portion 21 is formed by a U-shaped elastic sheet 23 fixed onto the cover housing 2. The U-shaped elastic sheet 23 includes two hooks 231 at two ends thereof; the two hooks 231 and the two protrusions 141 are locked onto each other; wherein the two hooks 231 are formed by two U-shaped bending sections 232 bent upward from the U-shaped elastic sheet 23 and having openings opposite from each other.
Furthermore, the cover housing 2 includes a locking member 24 and a plurality of positioning columns 25. The locking member 24 and the locking slot 122 are locked onto each other; each one of the positioning columns 25 are inserted into each one of the positioning holes 123.
As shown in
In addition, the hand tool 3 is detachably attached to the cover housing 2; alternatively, the hand tool 3 can be fixed firmly to the cover housing 2. In other words, the attachment method can be modified according to actual needs, and the present invention is not limited to such types of attachment only.
As shown in
The following provides further details. The rotational shaft 5 includes an outer threaded portion 51 at an outer circumferential surface thereof. One end of the rotational shaft 5 has a pushing portion 52 and another end of the rotational shaft 5 has an engagement portion 53. The outer threaded portion 51 and the inner threaded portion 132 are fastened to each other. The pushing portion 52 is configured corresponding to the bottom portion of the air bottle 4. The engagement portion 53 is provided for the screwdriver head 31 to engage therewith and to rotate together with the screwdriver head 31.
As shown in
As shown in
In addition, the screwdriver head 31 can also be used for fastening or releasing the fastening members (not shown in the figures) on the toy gun 10 in order to facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the toy gun 10; therefore, the convenience of use of the toy gun 10 can be increased.
Furthermore, the hand tool 3 is connected to the housing 2 an concealed inside the receiving slot 113 such that the hand tool 3 is stored inside the toy gun 10 in order to prevent any misplacement or accidental loss of the hand tool 3. Also, the hand tool 3 can be retrieved from the toy gun 10 immediately for any auxiliary uses of the hand tool 3 on the toy gun 10 readily.
Moreover, as shown in
