Linked control system for loading projectiles in a compressed gas projectile accelerator

Abstract

A linked control system for loading projectiles in a compressed projectile accelerator that includes controllers that automate the securing of stored projectiles on a players body. Where said stored projectiles are in storage containers or pods that are held and release to the player from the carrying belt or harness by the said controllers that are connected to relationship sensors. Further, the opening and closing of the containment lids of the storage pods, as well as, the containment lid of the loader or hopper that's attached to a projectile accelerator is also controlled and automated by the said controllers that are connected to relationship sensors. The system's linked controllers can also control one or more operating parameters of said compressed projectile accelerator through said relationships or proximity sensors, while informing the player of understandable operational information and/or game information.

         1 . A projectile loading controller, comprising:
 a controller configured to change one or more operating parameters of the loading sequence of a projectile accelerator, where said controller is in collaboration with one or more proximity sensors.   
     
     
         2 . The projectile loading controller of  claim 1 , further comprising one or more actuators configured to adjust one or more operating parameters of said projectile accelerator. 
     
     
         3 . The projectile loading controller of  claim 1 , further comprising one or more circuit boards in communication with said controller, wherein said circuit boards are operable to change one or more operational parameters of said projectile accelerator. 
     
     
         4 . The projectile loading controller of  claim 1 , further comprising one or more proximity sensors in collaboration with said controller, wherein said sensors are positioned adjacent to the user's hand. 
     
     
         5 . The projectile loading controller of  claim 1 , further comprising one or more proximity sensors in collaboration with said controller, wherein said controller is positioned adjacent to the user's hand. 
     
     
         6 . The projectile loading controller of  claim 1 , further comprising one or more proximity sensors in collaboration with said controller, wherein said sensors are positioned adjacent to or into the projectile storage unit on the user's body. 
     
     
         7 . The projectile loading controller of  claim 1 , further comprising one or more proximity sensors in collaboration with said controller, wherein said controller is positioned adjacent to or into the projectile storage unit on the user's body. 
     
     
         8 . The projectile loading controller of  claim 1 , further comprising one or more proximity sensors in collaboration with said controller, wherein said controller is positioned adjacent to or into the projectile storage unit. 
     
     
         9 . The projectile loading controller of  claim 1 , further comprising one or more proximity sensors in collaboration with said controller, wherein said sensors are positioned adjacent to or into the projectile storage unit. 
     
     
         10 . The projectile loading controller of  claim 1 , where said controller controls the release of projectiles from a projectile storage unit. 
     
     
         11 . The projectile loading controller of  claim 1 , where said controller controls the release of a projectile storage unit from the user's body. 
     
     
         12 . The projectile loading controller of  claim 1 , where said controller controls the release of a containment lid from a projectile storage unit. 
     
     
         13 . The projectile loading controller of  claim 1 , where said controller is in communication with the user's protective eye wear. 
     
     
         14 . The projectile loading controller of  claim 1 , where said controller is in communication with said projectile accelerator. 
     
     
         15 . A method, comprising:
 configuring a projectile storage unit to contain projectiles for a projectile accelerator; and   providing a controller in collaboration with one or more proximity sensors to control the release of said contained projectiles to said projectile accelerator.   
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15 , further comprising one or more actuators in communication with said controller to release said contained projectiles. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 15 , further comprising one or more circuit boards in communication with said controller to release said contained projectiles. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 15 , further comprising the controller measuring the relationship of the controller to the said one or more proximity sensors. 
     
     
         19 . A kit for retrofitting the loader of a projectile accelerator, comprising:
 a controller to control the release of the containment lid of said loader; and   one or more proximity sensors in collaboration with said controller to trigger said release of the containment lid.   
     
     
         20 . The kit for retrofitting the loader of a projectile accelerator, further comprising one or more actuators in communication with said controller.
