US12422215 - Compressed gas supply device of an air rifle

A compressed gas supply device of an air rifle provides simultaneously short response time, low gas consumption per shot and automatic cocking. It comprises a pressure chamber formed by a cylindrical body, a first end element and a second end element attached to it communicating with the rifle barrel, a valve and a tie located in the pressure chamber, means for supplying compressed gas to the pressure chamber and a trigger mechanism. The front part of the tie comprises a valve spring, while the valve rests on the valve spring and is capable of moving forward and backward in relation to the tie. In the pressure chamber near the second end element there is a piston and a piston spring on which the piston rests. The piston divides the pressure chamber into the front part located between the first end element and the piston, and the rear part located between the piston and the second end element. The piston being capable of moving forward and backward in relation to the second end element. The piston is made in the form of a cylindrical body and has a center hole.
