US12276475 - Toy gun and gas cylinder piercing structure thereof

A toy gun and a gas cylinder piercing structure are provided. The gas cylinder piercing structure includes a screw base and a movable push rod unit. The screw base includes a circular through-hole and an annular block around it. A top of the annular block has a slot. The movable push rod unit includes a round push rod movably inserted in the circular through-hole, and a return spring between the screw base and the round push round. A top of the round push rod has a striker pin. The striker pin extends with a needle portion. The striker pin has an engagement lug and a notch. When the engagement lug is blocked by the annular block, the round push rod completely fills the circular through-hole. When the engagement lug is engaged with the slot, the notch and the circular through-hole together form an air vent channel.

The patent describes a toy gun featuring a gas cylinder piercing structure that includes a screw base with a circular through-hole and a movable push rod unit equipped with a striker pin. The design allows for the push rod to either seal the through-hole or create an air vent channel depending on the engagement of an engagement lug with a slot on the annular block.

Claim 1

A gas cylinder piercing structure, comprising: a screw base, comprising a circular through-hole, an annular block disposed on a periphery of the circular through-hole, and at least one slot defined on a top portion of the annular block; and a movable push rod unit, comprising a round push rod movably inserted in the circular through-hole and a return spring elastically disposed between the screw base and the round push rod, wherein the round push rod comprises a striker pin disposed on a top end thereof, and the striker pin comprises a needle portion extending from a top end thereof, at least one engagement lug extending from an outer periphery thereof, and at least one notch defined on the outer periphery thereof; wherein when the at least one engagement lug is blocked by the annular block, the round push rod completely fills and seals the circular through-hole; when the at least one engagement lug is engaged with the at least one slot, the at least one notch and the circular through-hole are disposed correspondingly to define an air vent channel. a screw base, comprising a circular through-hole, an annular block disposed on a periphery of the circular through-hole, and at least one slot defined on a top portion of the annular block; and a movable push rod unit, comprising a round push rod movably inserted in the circular through-hole and a return spring elastically disposed between the screw base and the round push rod, wherein the round push rod comprises a striker pin disposed on a top end thereof, and the striker pin comprises a needle portion extending from a top end thereof, at least one engagement lug extending from an outer periphery thereof, and at least one notch defined on the outer periphery thereof; wherein when the at least one engagement lug is blocked by the annular block, the round push rod completely fills and seals the circular through-hole; when the at least one engagement lug is engaged with the at least one slot, the at least one notch and the circular through-hole are disposed correspondingly to define an air vent channel.
