US12747929 - High performance launcher of short projectiles with storage belt

A toy projectile launcher having a storage belt, a launch barrel, a cocking slide, an air piston assembly that includes an air nozzle and an air piston barrel, and a housing is disclosed. The storage belt contains projectile holders that are adapted to hold a projectile, such as a foam dart. The cocking slide can be moved forward and backward. When the cocking slide is moved backward, the air piston barrel moves backward and the air nozzle is retracted from a projectile holder, providing clearance for advancing a next projectile holder into a firing position. When the cocking slide is moved forward, the next projectile holder is advanced into the firing position and the air nozzle pushes on the next projectile holder to form an airtight seal between the launch barrel and air piston assembly.

toyprojectilelauncherfoamdart

The patent describes a toy projectile launcher that features a storage belt with cylindrical holders designed to securely contain projectiles, such as foam darts. The mechanism allows for efficient loading and launching of projectiles by utilizing a cocking slide and an air piston assembly to create an airtight seal during firing.

Claim 1

1 . A storage belt for use in a projectile launcher comprising: a plurality of substantially cylindrical projectile holders each having a longitudinal axis and adapted to contain a projectile and having a projectile holder section and a rear opening section, the longitudinal axis extending through the rear opening section; and a rear end ring between the holder section and the rear opening section adapted to retain the projectile along the longitudinal axis within the projectile holder, the rear opening section having a larger diameter than the projectile holder section. a plurality of substantially cylindrical projectile holders each having a longitudinal axis and adapted to contain a projectile and having a projectile holder section and a rear opening section, the longitudinal axis extending through the rear opening section; and a rear end ring between the holder section and the rear opening section adapted to retain the projectile along the longitudinal axis within the projectile holder, the rear opening section having a larger diameter than the projectile holder section.
