Safety device in imitation gun

Abstract

A safety device in an imitation gun having a magazine mounted removably to a gun main body for preventing the risk of discharge of a remaining bullet which can take place after removing the magazine from the gun main body. In the imitation gun having the magazine being mounted removably to the gun main body and a piston device for supplying a bullet inside the magazine to a bullet loading part of the gun main body and injecting compressed air to the bullet arranged in the bullet loading part, a trigger member 15 having a engagement counterpart for engaging with an engagement part at a side of a piston of the piston device 22 in order to retract the piston along with a discharge operation at a driving part provided in the gun main body and advancing the piston by disengagement of the engagement is provided. The trigger member is provided in the gun main body movably in the advancing/retracting directions of the piston and movably in such a direction that the engagement counterpart is released from the engagement part. A returning spring 16 for assisting movement in the same direction when the piston advances is provided in the trigger member 15 , and a resilient member 36 provided in the magazine is used as a means for biasing the trigger member in a direction of the engagement of the engagement part with the engagement counterpart.

1 . A safety device in an imitation gun comprising a magazine to be removably mounted to a gun main body and a piston device for supplying a bullet inside the magazine to a bullet loading part of the gun main body and injecting compressed air to the bullet disposed at the bullet loading part, characterized in that a trigger member having a engagement counterpart for engaging with an engagement part at a side of a piston of the piston device in order to retract the piston along with a discharge operation at a driving part provided in the gun main body and advancing the piston by disengagement of the engagement is provided, the trigger member being provided in the gun main body movably in advancing/retracting directions of the piston and movably in a direction in which the engagement counterpart is released from the engagement part and being provided with a returning spring for assisting a movement to a same direction when the piston advances; and a resilient member provided in the magazine is used as a biasing means for biasing the trigger member to a direction in which the engagement part and the engagement counterpart are engaged. 
   
   
       2 . The safety device in the imitation gun according to  claim 1 , wherein the driving part comprises a trigger part having a trigger provided movably in front/rear directions of the gun main body and a swingable part swingably attached to the trigger part, the trigger part and the swigging part forming the trigger member, and the swingable part being capable of swinging along with retraction by an operation of pulling the trigger and moving along a guide part inclined to a direction in which the engagement counterpart is released from the engagement part in the vicinity of a limit position of the retraction. 
   
   
       3 . The safety device in the imitation gun according to  claim 1 , characterized by comprising, as biasing means for biasing the trigger member in the direction in which the engagement part and the engagement counterpart are engaged, a pressurizing member that is provided in the magazine in such a fashion as to project externally from the magazine by the resilient member provided in the magazine. 
   
   
       4 . The safety device in the imitation gun according to  claim 1 , comprising a stopper that is capable of projection into and retracting from a bullet feeding path in order to prevent the bullet remaining on the bullet feeding path for supplying the bullet inside the magazine to the bullet loading part of the gun main body form dropping out, when the magazine is removed from the gun main body.
