Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to paintball markers, and more specifically to receiver/grip assemblies for paintball markers.
- the invention relates to a cast receiver/grip assembly for alternatively receiving various trigger assemblies.
- Paintball markers are assembled in various ways. For example, some paintball markers are assembled by bolting a receiver and a grip to one another. Paintball markers are also assembled through castings that form various portions of the paintball marker that are subsequently coupled to one another. Further, these castings have been formed to receive various components of a paintball marker, such as the components necessary for triggering the firing of a paintball.
- the invention allows a paintball marker, which includes die cast components, to readily and alternatively receive various trigger assemblies, such as mechanical or electronic assemblies. This allows a single die set to be used in manufacturing paintball marker castings. The decision to install a specific trigger assembly can thus be made at a time subsequent to the casting of the paintball marker. Subsequent modification of the marker to accept an alternative assembly is also facilitated.
- a paintball marker includes a plurality of castings.
- a first casting includes a portion of the paintball marker receiver and a portion of the paintball marker grip.
- This illustrative embodiment also has a second casting which includes another portion of the receiver and of the grip.
- the first and second castings are coupled to one another to form the paintball grip and receiver.
- the plurality of castings can include various portions of the grip and receiver, such as the first casting including the entire receiver and a portion of the grip, while the second casting includes only a grip portion, for example.
- the plurality of castings are formed of metals, such as aluminum, zinc, or magnesium, for example.
- the castings are nickel-plated.
- the castings are formed of non-metallic material, such as a polymer resin, for example.
- the castings are formed to receive various trigger assemblies, such as mechanical or electronic assemblies.
- the castings are specifically formed to receive these trigger assemblies alternatively, so that the mechanical triggering assembly can be installed after the castings have been created, or alternatively, the electronic trigger assembly can be installed.
- the castings may be retrofitted so that a paintball marker including an electronic trigger assembly can be converted to include a mechanical assembly, or vice versa.
- an electronic trigger assembly includes a battery, electronic circuitry, a linear actuator, and a capacitor.
- An illustrative mechanical trigger assembly includes a projection which acts on a sear to cause the firing of a paintball.
- the mechanical trigger assembly can also include a trigger assist apparatus, which biases the trigger forward after the trigger is pulled for firing, thereby allowing a faster rate of paintball firing in a semi-automatic paintball marker.
- the trigger assemblies, mechanical or electronic are enclosed within the castings when the first and second castings are coupled to one another.
- the first and second castings are configured to accept a plurality of fasteners to secure the first and second castings to one another.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates generally to paintball markers, and more specifically to receiver/grip assemblies for paintball markers. In one embodiment, the invention relates to a cast receiver/grip assembly for alternatively receiving various trigger assemblies.
- Paintball markers are assembled in various ways. For example, some paintball markers are assembled by bolting a receiver and a grip to one another. Paintball markers are also assembled through castings that form various portions of the paintball marker that are subsequently coupled to one another. Further, these castings have been formed to receive various components of a paintball marker, such as the components necessary for triggering the firing of a paintball.
- The invention allows a paintball marker, which includes die cast components, to readily and alternatively receive various trigger assemblies, such as mechanical or electronic assemblies. This allows a single die set to be used in manufacturing paintball marker castings. The decision to install a specific trigger assembly can thus be made at a time subsequent to the casting of the paintball marker. Subsequent modification of the marker to accept an alternative assembly is also facilitated.
- In one illustrative embodiment, a paintball marker includes a plurality of castings. A first casting includes a portion of the paintball marker receiver and a portion of the paintball marker grip. This illustrative embodiment also has a second casting which includes another portion of the receiver and of the grip. The first and second castings are coupled to one another to form the paintball grip and receiver. It is to be appreciated that the plurality of castings can include various portions of the grip and receiver, such as the first casting including the entire receiver and a portion of the grip, while the second casting includes only a grip portion, for example. In another illustrative embodiment, the plurality of castings are formed of metals, such as aluminum, zinc, or magnesium, for example. In another illustrative embodiment, the castings are nickel-plated. In yet another illustrative embodiment, the castings are formed of non-metallic material, such as a polymer resin, for example.
- In certain embodiments, the castings are formed to receive various trigger assemblies, such as mechanical or electronic assemblies. The castings are specifically formed to receive these trigger assemblies alternatively, so that the mechanical triggering assembly can be installed after the castings have been created, or alternatively, the electronic trigger assembly can be installed. Also, the castings may be retrofitted so that a paintball marker including an electronic trigger assembly can be converted to include a mechanical assembly, or vice versa.
- In another illustrative embodiment, an electronic trigger assembly includes a battery, electronic circuitry, a linear actuator, and a capacitor. An illustrative mechanical trigger assembly includes a projection which acts on a sear to cause the firing of a paintball. The mechanical trigger assembly can also include a trigger assist apparatus, which biases the trigger forward after the trigger is pulled for firing, thereby allowing a faster rate of paintball firing in a semi-automatic paintball marker. In another illustrative embodiment, the trigger assemblies, mechanical or electronic, are enclosed within the castings when the first and second castings are coupled to one another. In this and other embodiments, the first and second castings are configured to accept a plurality of fasteners to secure the first and second castings to one another.
- Additional features and advantages of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon consideration of the following detailed description of the illustrated embodiment exemplifying the best mode of carrying out the invention as presently perceived.
