TITLE: SIMULATION BULLET INCLUDABLE BB BULLET
MAGAZINE
(a) Technical Field of the Invention
The present invention generally relates to a structure for use in a
BB gun to simulate loading bullets in a magazine of a real gun, and
more particularly to a simulation bullet includable BB bullet magazine
that provides fun and is easy to operate.
(b) Description of the Prior Art
A toy gun is a common toy, which uses a mechanical structure to
shoot BB bullets in order to simulate the shooting of a real gun to
achieve the purpose of playing.
With the progress of the modem society, the structures of the toy
guns get more elaborate and more complicated in order to provide a
player with the experience of operating a real gun. Thus, the
manufacturers have been devoted themselves to the improvement of
every detail.
However, no matter how the toy gun has been made to mimic a
real gun, the object shot therefrom is different from a real bullet. This
CA 02826956 2015-10-05

will affect the structure of the bullet magazine. For a bullet magazine
of a real gun, since the bullet is composed of a projectile and a case and
the structure of a magazine is made to correspond thereto. On the other
hand, the magazine of a toy gun is structured to receive BB bullets in a
bullet chute. For the purposes of mimicking, it is desired to provide a
bullet magazine of a toy gun that provides a player with the perception
of loading bullets similar to real bullet. This is a challenge to the
manufacturers of the industry and the present inventor.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In view of the above problems, through intense research and
study of related information, as well as repeated trials and corrections, a
novel design of a simulation bullet includable BB bullet magazine is
achieved according to the present invention.
An object of the present invention is that an enclosure is
structured to receive an internal receptacle therein and an elastic
element is provided to allow the internal receptacle to slide up and
down in the enclosure, whereby the operation of loading a simulation
bullet provides a sense of operating a real gun in the use and operation
thereof Loading the simulation bullet causes the internal receptacle to
CA 02826956 2015-10-05
3
be pressed down and pushing the simulation bullet out of the enclosure
allows the elastic element to bias the internal receptacle to an operation
position. With such a technique, the problem that the conventional toy
gun magazine does not provide a sense of operating a real gun can be
overcome and an advantage of being interesting and easy to operate can
be achieved.
To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a
simulation bullet includable BB bullet magazine, comprising: an
enclosure, in which an elastic element is arranged; an internal
receptacle, which is received in and slidable up and down within the
enclosure and is adapted to receive and hold therein BB bullets, the
internal receptacle having an end coupled to the elastic element; and at
least one simulation bullet, which is different, in shape and size, from
the BB bullets and is removably receivable in the enclosure, the
simulation bullet being in contact with an end of the internal receptacle
that is distant from the elastic element, wherein the simulation bullet is
shaped and sized to simulate a genuine bullet so as to provide an
operation of simulating loading a real gun.
With such a structure, BB bullets of the toy gun are first loaded
into the internal receptacle and then the simulation bullet is loaded into
CA 02826956 2015-10-05

the enclosure. Under this condition, the internal receptacle is depressed
by the simulation bullet to move towards the lower end of the
enclosure. With such a structure, simulation of the sense of operation
and interesting of loading a real gun is realized. When the simulation
bullet is pushed out of the enclosure, the internal receptacle is caused
by the action of the elastic element to slide upwards so that the internal
receptacle may get to a ready-to-shoot position and get ready to shoot
the BB bullets. As such, an advantage of being interesting and easy to
operate can be achieved.
The foregoing objectives and summary provide only a brief

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED
EMBODIMENTS
The following descriptions are exemplary embodiments only, and
are not intended to limit the scope, applicability or configuration of the
invention in any way. Rather, the following description provides a
CA 02826956 2015-10-05

convenient illustration for implementing exemplary embodiments of the
invention.
Referring to FIGS. 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, which are respectively a
perspective view and an exploded view of a preferred embodiment of
the present invention and schematic views showing an operation of the
preferred embodiment of the present invention, these drawings clearly
show that the present invention comprises:
an enclosure 1, the enclosure 1 having an end forming an opening
11 and an end that is distant from the opening 11 and has an inside wall
on which an elastic element 13 is mounted, a constraint section 12
being provided at the opening 11, the enclosure 1 having two opposite
sides each of which comprises a transparent material;
an internal receptacle 2 that is received in the enclosure 1 and is
up-and-down slidable, the internal receptacle 2 comprising a bullet
supply channel 21 formed therein to receive and hold BB bullets 4, the
bullet supply channel 21 comprising a compression spring 22 arranged
therein to bias the BB bullets 4 toward a bullet supply channel opening
211, the internal receptacle 2 further comprising two opposite
decoration plates 23 attached to two opposite sides thereof, an end of
CA 02826956 2015-10-05
7
the internal receptacle 2 that is distant from the bullet supply channel
opening 211 being coupled to the elastic element 13; and
at least one simulation bullet 3 movably receivable in the
enclosure 1, the simulation bullet 3 being in contact with the end of the
internal receptacle 2 that is associated with the bullet supply channel
opening 211.
With the above-described structure, together with the following
description of an operation of the present invention, the details of the
operation of the simulation bullet includable BB bullet magazine
according to the present invention can be better understood. Referring
to FIG. 3, which illustrates the enclosure 1 in a condition where no
simulation bullet 3 is included. It can be clearly seen from the drawing,
the internal receptacle 2 is driven by the elastic element 13 so that the
internal receptacle 2 is moved to a ready-to-shoot position. The BB
bullets 4 received in the bullet supply channel 21 are also driven by the
compression spring 22 to the bullet supply channel opening 211 to be
ready for subsequent bullet loading. Referring to FIG. 4, which shows
the enclosure 1 in a condition of loading the simulation bullet 3, to load
a simulation bullet 3 into the enclosure 1, the internal receptacle 2 is
first moved in a direction toward the lower end of the enclosure 1 to
CA 02826956 2015-10-05
8
provide a space for receiving and containing the simulation bullet 3. At
this situation, the elastic element 13 is about to be compressed to allow
the simulation bullet 3 to be inserted through the opening 11 into the
enclosure 1. When the loading of the simulation bullet 3 is completed,
the internal receptacle 2 is acted upon by the elastic element 13 so that
the internal receptacle 2 is pushed toward the opening 11 and the
simulation bullet 3 is forced by the internal receptacle 2 to move
upwards and, together with position constraint imposed by the
constraint section 12, the simulation bullet 3 is securely retained on the
internal receptacle 2. This, together with the arrangement of the
decoration plate 23, provides an overall view exactly similar to a real
bullet magazine. Besides providing the visual perception of a real
device, the present invention also provides an operation of loading
bullet that allows a user to experience of loading a real gun. Referring
to FIG. 5, which shows a condition where a simulation bullet 3 is
pushed out of the enclosure 1, due to the arrangement and design of the
constraint section 12 are exactly identical to a bullet retaining lip of a
real gun, the simulation bullet 3 is only allowed to be pushed out in a
frontward direction. When one of multiple simulation bullets 3
received in the enclosure is pushed out, the internal space of the
CA 02826956 2015-10-05
9
enclosure 1 is relatively enlarged and the internal receptacle 2 is acted
upon by the elastic element 13 to simultaneously move in a direction
toward the opening 11. When the simulation bullets 3 have been all
pushed out, the internal receptacle 2 reaches the ready-to-shoot
position, as what described with reference to FIG. 3 so that no further
description will be given here. As such, with such an arrangement and
operation, an innovated, brand new structure of a toy gun for use with
simulation bullets 3, where a user may experience the interesting and
feeling of operation of loading a real gun with real bullets. Further, the
transparent materials included in the enclosure 1 and the arrangement of
the decoration plates 23 provide the perception of an overall view of a
real gun magazine. Further, with the arrangement of the internal
receptacle 2 in combination with the elastic element 13, loading and
unloading of the simulation bullet 3 are easy and convenient so that an
advantage of interesting and easy operation according to the present
invention can be achieved.
Thus, the technical features that the simulation bullet includable
BB bullet magazine according to the present invention adopt to improve
the drawbacks of the conventional devices are as follows:
CA 02826956 2015-10-05
An enclosure 1 is structured to receive and hold therein an
internal receptacle 2 and simulation bullets 3. A constraint section 12
and an elastic element 13 are provided so that loading and unloading of
the simulation bullets 3 are such that the sense of operation and
interesting are exactly the same as loading bullets in a real gun.
Further, the operation mode that the internal receptacle 2 is slidable up
and down within the enclosure 1 makes it not greatly different from the
existing ones so that a user does not need to adapt to the new device so
that the advantage of being interesting and easy to operate can be
achieved.
It will be understood that each of the elements described above,
or two or more together may also find a useful application in other
types of methods differing from the type described above.
