US12644664 - Hopper stock projectiles magazine apparatus and methods for toy blaster system
The patent describes a toy projectile launching system that features a hopper stock magazine designed to hold multiple projectiles and facilitate their alignment with a firing barrel for discharge. The system includes an air compression mechanism, a trigger assembly, and a pre-firing area that allows for efficient loading and launching of projectiles.
Claim 1
1 . A toy launching system, comprising: a firing mechanism housing for a projectile launching element; a projectile launching barrel for discharging plural projectile rounds; a pre-firing area allowing the plurality of the projectile rounds to be received from a separator junction where a channel in mechanical communication with the pre-firing area aligns at least one received projectile at the projectile launching barrel with the projectile launching element defined to include a breech; an air compression element at the projectile launching element including a cylinder and an elongated breech bolt, the breech bolt having a proximal end at the cylinder and a breech bolt channel extending therethrough for fluid communication from the cylinder through the breech bolt for expelling compressed air from a distal end of the breech bolt, the cylinder having a cylinder driving coupling; a piston slidably received at the cylinder of the air compression element, the piston having a piston driving coupling; a cylinder cam pathway track at the firing mechanism housing; a piston cam pathway track at the firing mechanism housing; a trigger assembly including a conveyor; a piston cam follower linkage having a tracking end at the piston cam pathway track, a piston trigger end pivoted at the conveyor, and a piston follower coupling for engaging the piston driving coupling; a cylinder cam follower linkage having a tracking end at the cylinder cam pathway track, a cylinder trigger end pivoted at the conveyor, and a cylinder follower coupling for engaging the cylinder driving coupling; and a hopper stock projectiles magazine receptacle for holding multiple projectiles located distally along an upper portion of the pre-firing area. a firing mechanism housing for a projectile launching element; a projectile launching barrel for discharging plural projectile rounds; a pre-firing area allowing the plurality of the projectile rounds to be received from a separator junction where a channel in mechanical communication with the pre-firing area aligns at least one received projectile at the projectile launching barrel with the projectile launching element defined to include a breech; an air compression element at the projectile launching element including a cylinder and an elongated breech bolt, the breech bolt having a proximal end at the cylinder and a breech bolt channel extending therethrough for fluid communication from the cylinder through the breech bolt for expelling compressed air from a distal end of the breech bolt, the cylinder having a cylinder driving coupling; a piston slidably received at the cylinder of the air compression element, the piston having a piston driving coupling; a cylinder cam pathway track at the firing mechanism housing; a piston cam pathway track at the firing mechanism housing; a trigger assembly including a conveyor; a piston cam follower linkage having a tracking end at the piston cam pathway track, a piston trigger end pivoted at the conveyor, and a piston follower coupling for engaging the piston driving coupling; a cylinder cam follower linkage having a tracking end at the cylinder cam pathway track, a cylinder trigger end pivoted at the conveyor, and a cylinder follower coupling for engaging the cylinder driving coupling; and a hopper stock projectiles magazine receptacle for holding multiple projectiles located distally along an upper portion of the pre-firing area.
