Definitions
- I ABSTRACT A pump-type air gun in which the pump cylinder is connected directly to a pressure chamber closed by a tubular-valve member that is released on operation of the trigger to supply compressed air from the chamber directly behind a BB that registers with the gun barrel. BBs are fed into firing position from a magazine by a spring pressed follower.
- the ratio of the volume of the pump cylinder to the volume of the pressure chamber, when the pump piston is in withdrawn position, that is, when the pump cylinder is at atmospheric pressure, is such that only one stroke of the pump lever is required to fill the pressure chamber with air under a pressure sufficient to fire a BB from the gun.
- pump-type BB guns have tended to be rather complex in construction and expensive to manufacture. Numerous moving parts have been required to feed BBs from the magazine of the gun into firing position, and to control the flow of compressed air from the pressure chamber to the rear of a projectile in firing position. Typically the flow of compressed air is controlled by a spring-loaded valve, which is opened momentarily by the hammer upon operation of the trigger.
- a primary object of this invention is to provide a BB gun, which requires that the pump lever be actuated only once to compress the air to the pressure needed to propel a BB from the gun.
- Another object of this invention is to provide a more compact pump-type BB carbine, which has substantially fewer moving parts than prior such carbines.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a pump gun of the type described, which has a hammerless valve mechanism for controlling admission of compressed air to the firing chamber of the gun.
- FIGS. 1A and 1B taken together, comprise a fragmentary side elevation view of a pump-type BB carbine made according to one embodiment of this invention, portions of the carbine being cut away and shown in section;
- FIG. 2 is a fragmentary plan view of this carbine portions thereof again broken away and shown in section;
- FIG. 3 is an enlarged, fragmentary sectional view of this carbine taken along line 33 in FIG. 1A looking in the direction of the arrows;
- FIG. 4 is a fragmentary sectional view taken along the line 44 in FIG. 1A looking in the direction of the arrows.
- housing 14 contains a tubular gun barrel 15, which projects at its rear end into a bore 16 in a block 17 that is mounted in the frame.
- a bracket 21 Threaded in the front end 13 of frame 10, and supported by a bracket 21 beneath the barrel housing 14 is an elongate sleeve 20, the outer end of which is closed by a plug 22.
- Sleeve registers with the axial bore of a cylinder 23, which is secured in block 17 with its forward end surrounding the rear end of sleeve 20 coaxially thereof.
- a piston 30 (F1G. l) is reciprocable in cylinder 23. It carries in grooves in its periphery, the usual packing ring 31 and resilient O-ring 32 for compressing air between the piston and boss 27'.' Projecting forwardly from piston is a piston rod 34, which extends coaxially through cylinder 23 into the rear end of sleeve 20. Secured to the forward end of rod 34 for reciprocation therewith in sleeve 20 is a cylindrical guide block 35.
- a pivoted operating lever 36 (FIG. 1), which has a web section 37 that projects up wardly through a slot 38 in the underside of sleeve 20. At its forward end web section 37 is pivoted on a pin 40, which is fastened in sleeve 20. Intermediate its ends the web section 37 carries a pin 42, which is pivotally connected to one end of a pair of links 44. These two links, which register with the slot 38 in the underside of sleeve 20, are pivotally connected at their rear ends by a pin to the projection 46 formed on the forward end of guide block 35. I
- valve block 25 In its upper portion'valve block 25 has a pressure chamber 50 (FIG. 1), which "is closed at its rear end by a plug 51, and which is connected intermediate its ends via a right angular duct 52 in block 25 with the rearend of cylinder 23.
- a port 53 in the forward end of chamber 50 registers with a stud 55 on plug 51, and a port 57 in block '17.
- valve member 60 Mounted to reciprocate in the blocks 17 and 25, and projecting at opposite ends slidably and coaxially into the aligned ports 57 and 53 in these two blocks is an. elongate, tubular valve member 60 (FIGS. 1 to3). In- 7 termediate its ends valve member 60 has an enlarged, external, circumferential flange 61, which seats against plane surface 54 on the front end of valve block 25, when the gun is in cocked position. Also at this time the rear end of the valve member engages over the forwardly-projecting stem 55 of plug 51 but, as denoted at 63 (FIG. 1), witha slight space between the plug and the rear end of the valve member. The stud 55 fits snugly in valve member 60.
- a yoke 65 Mounted. for limited swinging movement on cylinder 23 is a yoke 65 whose legs 66 are pivotally mounted interrnediate their ends on aligned pins 67 in block 25.
- the upper, free ends 68 of legs 66 are bent laterally inwardly in front of flange 61.
- the lower end 69 of the yoke extends .transversely beneath cylinder 23.
- a trigger 74 Mounted beneath the yoke 65 to pivot of frame 10 is a trigger 74. When the trigger is cocked a scar on the trigger is engaged-with the lower end 69 of the yoke 65 to prevent the yoke from pivoting clockwise (FIG.
- a tubular magazine 92 Secured in a longitudinally extending groove 91 formed in one side of barrel housing 14, and extending through the front of the frame in side-by-side, parallel relation to barrel 15, is a tubular magazine 92.
- a follower rod 94 Mounted to reciprocate in magazine 92 in conventional fashion is a follower rod 94 having adjacent its outer end a radial pin 95 (FIG. 2), which slides in an elongate slot 96 in the magazine.
- Rod 94 is constantly urged rearwardly in the magazine by a spring 97, which is disposed between the outer end of rod 94 and a plug 98,
- a leaf spring 100 is secured in rod 94 at one end by a right angular leg 101. This spring has a slightly curved free end 102, which registers with a shallow recess notch 104 in the rear end of rod 94.
- sear 75 During compression of air into chamber 50, sear 75 maintains the yoke 65 in a blocking position in which the upper ends 68 of its legs 66 hold valve member 60 seated on the stud 55. However, when the gun is fired by pressing on trigger 74, the sear 75 drops down from engagement with the yoke. The compressed air in chamber 50, acting in the space 63 between the rear end of valve member 60 and plug 51, moves the nowreleased valve member suddenly forwardly, so that its forward end forces the BB 108 into the rear of barrel 15.
- valve member 60 is advanced off stud 55, so that by the time the BB 108 has been shoved into the barrel, the rear end of the valve member will have advanced far enough for the compressed air in chamber 50 to pass through the axial bore in the valve to the rear of the BB 108, thereby propelling the latter out of the barrel with the full volume and force of the compressed air.
- advance flange 61 of the valve member urges the upper end .of yoke 65 forwardly, so that the yoke is pivoted slightly forwardly or clockwise (FIG. 1) about the axis of pins 67.
- lever 36 is rocked downwardly manually about pin 40, thereby causing links 44 to draw block 35 forwardly in sleeve 20.
- This causes piston rod 34 to advance piston 30 incylinder 23 far enough for the piston to strike and urge the forward end 84 of rod 80 forwardly far enough for its rear end 86 to engage the lower end 69 of the yoke 65, to swing the yoke counterclockwise (FIG. 1).
- a spring (not illustrated) attached to the trigger 74 causes the trigger to be swung upwardly or counterclockwise (FIG. 1) about pin 71 until the sear portion 75 passes behindthe lower end 69 of the yoke releasably to maintain. the yoke in cocked position.
- the lever 36 is swung manually upwardly about pivot pin to drive piston 30 from the forward end toward the rear end of cylinder 23.
- the ratio of the volume of air displaced by piston'30 to the volume of chamber is such that with a single stroke of the pump arm 36 the pressure built up in chamber rod 80 causing the rod once again to engage the lower end 69 of yoke to return the yoke to its cocked position in front of the trigger sear 75.
- the air in cylinder 23 once again will be compressed into the chamber 50 as noted above.
- the instant invention provides an extremely compact and reliable pump-type carbine, which utilizes a minimum of moving parts in its firing mechanism.
- spring 87 is the only spring which plays any major part in the cooking and firing mechanism of the gun; andit is used merely as a return spring to maintain the cocking rod in its retracted position. There are no springs directly connected to the valve member 60.
- the gun is'extremelysilent in operation, since it does not utilize a hammer 'for striking and opening a valve as is the case in most prior such guns.
- Still another advantage of the carbine disclosed herein is that the ratio of the displacement of the piston 30 that is the ratio of the volume of the pump cylinder 23, when the piston is in withdrawn, forward position, to the volume of the pressure chamber 50, is such that but a single operation of lever 36 suffices to compress air in the chamber 50 enough to drive a BB out of the barrel 15 with a satisfactory muzzle velocity.
