The present invention relates to a light emitting device mounted on a gun main body of a toy gun and emitting light toward a target.

There is a toy gun called an electric hand gun, and this type of toy gun drives a motor by a battery built in the gun body to operate a mechanism for firing a bullet. A toy gun of this type is, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 3-221793. On the other hand, the actual gun has a light emitting part called an illuminator which irradiates a target, and the toy gun which emulates the appearance of the actual gun may be imitated.

For example, Japanese Utility Model No. 303912 relates to a flash light device of an air gun, and in order to facilitate aiming, the lamp unit is totally matched to the axis of the barrel so that the optical axis can be prevented from decreasing the accuracy of the hit. The structure which mounts to a main body is shown. In the case of the utility model, since the battery is built in the inside of the main body, the motor can be driven to fire a bullet, and the internal power supply of the main body is used as the power supply of the lamp unit, so that the lighting is consumed by the battery. There is a problem that greatly affects. For this reason, when the said utility model is applied to an electric gun, serious problem arises that a bullet emission performance falls a little early by lighting.

Light emitting devices of this kind emit strong flashes of short emission duration, as can be seen from a device often called flash light. However, especially the lamp for high brightness irradiation consumes a lot of power, and it is exposed to the disadvantage that cost is considerable because the use of expensive lithium batteries is unavoidable and the battery consumption is fast.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above point, and the problem is that the cost of power for operating the light emitting portion can be suppressed and the power can be supplied to the main body. Further, another object of the present invention is to provide a light-emitting device that can be used as an external power source for driving a firing mechanism of the toy gun or as a spare external power source for other uses by being mounted on an electric toy gun. To provide.

MEANS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM In order to solve the said subject, this invention is a light-emitting device mounted to the gun main body which emits light toward a target, The apparatus main body is provided with the power supply part which consists of a light emission part, a rechargeable battery, and a control part which controls light emission, In combination with an optional mounting unit provided in the main body, the optical axis of the light emitting unit is fixed by the fixing means in a state substantially coinciding with the firing direction of the main body.

The present invention is for all types of toy guns. Even in toy guns having an electric launch mechanism of the type called electric hand gun, it becomes possible to serve as an external power source instead of the power battery originally built in the electric hand gun. When used for other types of toy guns other than these, a function as a spare external power supply is provided with a light emitting function.

The apparatus main body of the combined power light emitting device according to the present invention includes a light emitting unit, a power supply unit for supplying power to the light emitting unit, and a control unit for controlling light emission of the light emitting unit. The light emitting unit may use various types of lamps capable of continuously emitting light, such as a flash light emitting instantaneous flash, a spot light continuously emitting beam light, or a flashlight, a laser light emitting laser beam, an LED emitter, and the like. Rechargeable batteries such as lithium batteries, nickel cadmium batteries, and nickel metal hydride batteries that can be charged and discharged are used for the power supply unit. As a result, for example, since the unit can be repeatedly used even if the unit price is high, the running cost is significantly lowered, and the capacity can be set sufficiently large because the capacity is not restricted by the internal structure of the total main body. The controller may vary depending on the type of light emitter. The simplest control unit is an ON and OFF switch, but it is also possible to mount an electronic circuit to control the light emission time or interval, or to perform light emission associated with the firing of a bullet.

The device body is fixed to the gun body by fastening means. The fixing means couples and fixes the apparatus main body to the gun main body in a state where the optical axis direction of the light emitting part is substantially coincident with the firing direction by the toy gun. Although the option mounting part provided in the gun main body is used for the coupling, the option mounting part can use the shape and structure of the gun body other than the one specifically installed in the gun body for the purpose of installing the attached option.

Since the power supply unit in the present invention uses a rechargeable battery, it is provided with a connection terminal for connecting with a terminal on the charger side or with other charging terminals. Therefore, by connecting the terminal of the battery charger side to a connection terminal, it becomes a state which can charge a rechargeable battery. In addition, the connection terminal also serves as a power supply terminal, and has a configuration capable of supplying electric power to the main body of the power supply unit. That is, by using the electric power for operating a light emitting part, it can drive the electric mechanism part provided in the gun main body. For this implementation, the terminal of the transmission mechanism of the main body and the power supply terminal of the apparatus main body may be electrically connected to each other by an electric cord or other conducting means. When the toy gun constitutes a system including an optional power supply light emitting device according to the present invention, the light emitting function is provided and the firing operation of the built-in small capacity battery can be performed several times. When the device is mounted on other general electric guns, it is equipped with a light emitting function and a function as a spare external power source. When the device is used other than an electric gun, it can be used as a light emitting device for gun equipment. In addition, the rechargeable battery that can be charged and discharged may be of a type that cannot be assembled or removed in the apparatus body or may be of a removable type.

For this reason, it is preferable that the apparatus main body is provided with the male-female coupling type connection terminal which can be connected with the terminal of a battery charger side. In addition, the combined power source light emitting device according to the present invention has an external shape of a spot light and does not always have to be formed in such a shape, but may have an external shape such as a grip or a magazine.

In Fig. 1, reference numeral 16 designates a power mechanism unit, 17 designates an internal battery, and 18 designates a bullet supply unit.

As shown in detail in FIGS. 2 and 3, the combined power light emitting device 20 is fixedly coupled to the optional mounting parts 11 and 11 to match the optical axis direction of the light emitting part 26 to the firing direction of the main body. A pair of engagement protrusions 21 and 21 'and fixing means for fixing the apparatus main body 19 to the gun main body in that state are provided. As shown in the figure, the fixing means installs one of the pair of engaging projections 21 and 21 '(in the case shown in the figure 21) so as to be opened and closed in an inward and outward direction, and at the same time, a cam outside the one engaging projection 21. Optionally install one engagement projection 21 according to the rotational position of the cam lever 22 by the cam portion 23 formed around the pivot portion of the cam lever 22 to pivotally mount the lever 22. It is comprised so that the state which does not pressurize with respect to the part 11 or the option mounting part 11 is taken. The illustrated embodiment is mounted on the shaft main body 24 so as to penetrate through the pair of engaging projections 21 and 21 'so as to protrude its tip outward of the one engaging projection 21, and the cam lever 22 thereon. Is equipped with a spindle 25.

The combined power source light emitting device 20 includes a power source unit 27 and a control unit 28 each including a light emitting unit 26 and a rechargeable battery in the device main body 19. The illustrated light emitting portion 26 is made of a light source for high brightness irradiation such as, for example, a xenon lamp, and the power source 27 is made of a rechargeable battery such as, for example, a nickel-cadmium battery. 28 includes a main switch 29 for turning on and off the original power supply and a sub switch 30 for controlling switching of a circuit after the main switch is assembled. The main switch 29 is arranged on the apparatus main body side to maintain the ON or OFF state, and the sub-switch 30 is arranged on the rear of the apparatus main body and has a structure that is ON only during operation.

The rechargeable battery of the power supply unit 27 is assembled, and a connection terminal 32 connectable to the terminal 31 on the battery charger side is provided on the rear of the apparatus main body. In addition, a replaceable rechargeable battery may be applied to the power supply unit 27. The illustrated connecting terminal 32 is of a 2-pin type, connected to the female terminal 31 on the battery charger side to be in an electrically connected state, and further comprising a latch pole 33 and a latching match 34. Is connected to maintain the connection state. The connection terminal 32 also serves as a power supply terminal for supplying electric power from the rechargeable battery to the toy gun, and the terminal 36 of the connection cord 35 extending from the electric mechanism part 16 of the toy gun is also arm of the battery charger side. It has the same structure as the terminal 31, and is comprised so that it may be electrically and mechanically connected with the connection terminal 32 (refer FIG. 1, FIG. 2).

In the power source combined light emitting device 20 of the present invention configured as described above, as shown in FIG. 3-1, the coupling protrusions 21 and 21 ′ have groove-shaped portions 12 of the optional installation parts 11 and 11. 3-2 and 3-3, and then the cam lever 22 is rotated to engage the engaging projection 21 slightly open outward from the cam portion 23 with respect to the gun body. The protrusions 21 and 21 'are pressed (Figs. 3-4) and fixed in the same way to eliminate rattling (Figs. 3-5). In the fixed state, the shaft main body 24 on the apparatus main body side is engaged with the concave portion 37 on the total main body side, and is positioned in a state in which it cannot move back and forth. In the power supply / use light emitting device 20 fixed by these operations, the optical axis of the light emitting portion 26 is in a state substantially coinciding with the firing direction of the toy gun.

In the state where the main switch 29 is turned OFF, the power supply / use light-emitting device 20 of the present invention is configured not to be connected to the contact 38 even when the sub switch 30 is operated (FIG. 4A). 4A to 4C show a state in which the main switch is OFF. By providing the main switch 29, unnecessary consumption of electric power can be reduced. When the main switch 29 is turned ON, the contact 38 is also moved (FIG. 5A), and when the sub switch 30 is operated, the contact 38 is turned ON (FIG. 5B), and the light emitting portion 26 is operated. The light is emitted towards the target.

The charging capacity of the power supply section 27 made of the rechargeable battery shown is clearly larger than that of the battery 17 embedded in the toy gun, and the main mechanism 29 is always turned on to turn the main switch 29 on. Can be powered. Or, even if the main switch 29 is not turned ON, if the terminal 36 of the connection cord 35 is connected to the connection terminal 32 of the apparatus main body 19, the electric motor mechanism 16 of the toy gun is powered. It is also possible to supply a configuration.

For this reason, it becomes possible to drastically increase the firing ability of the electric gun, and the difference is remarkable especially in the case of a small gun called a hand gun. The combined power source light emitting device 20 according to the present invention can be applied not only to a pistol type handgun but also to a larger electric gun such as shown in FIG. 6, thereby providing a light emitting function and furthermore, a larger toy. It functions as a power supply device for supplying electric power to the electric mechanism part of the gun. Although small part numbers for the parts have been written in FIG. 6 without further explanation, each reference numeral is the same as that in FIGS.

Since the present invention is configured and functions as described above, since the electric power for operating the light emitting unit is obtained by charging, the cost can be reduced, and the power supply combined light emitting device according to the present invention is attached to an electric toy gun. In addition to providing a light emitting function, an external power source for driving the launch mechanism can be provided, which can result in a remarkable effect, such as enabling multiple times of the firing operation of the small-capacity battery built into the electric toy gun.
