Toy Bow and Arrow System and Method of Configuration

Номер: US20120060807A1
Автор: Steve Walterscheid
Принадлежит: ZING TOYS Inc

A toy bow assembly used to launch toy projectiles. The toy bow assembly has a rigid bow structure. The bow structure has a first arm section, a second arm section, and a central region. Two separate and distinct elastic elements are provided to launch a projectile. The first elastic element is anchored to the first arm section of the bow structure. A second elastic element is anchored to the second arm section. Both of the elastic elements terminate with loop structures that extend into the central region between the first and second arm sections. A toy projectile is provided that has extending hooks. The hooks on the projectile engage the loop structures of the elastic elements. When the projectile is drawn back, the elastic elements stretch and provide the spring energy needed to launch the projectile into flight when it is released.

System and methods for launching a projectile are provided. The launching apparatus may include a flexible beam and drivers attached to the ends of the beam. The drivers may drive the ends of the beam to induce a steady large amplitude vibration in the beam. The induced vibration causes the beam to oscillate between two catenary-like configurations. A projectile may be loaded on the midpoint region of the beam when the midpoint region of the beam reaches a peak displacement with a near zero velocity and acceleration. The projectile may then be pushed and accelerated by the beam vibration and launched from the beam when the midpoint region reaches a peak velocity and midpoint acceleration reaches zero.

The pneumatically driven projectile weapon combines the tensioned line of a conventional crossbow or archery bow with mechanical and pneumatic compression, thus increasing the power and accuracy of the weapon. A spring-biased cylinder is mounted within a hollow weapon stock, similar to a conventional rifle or shotgun stock, and is interconnected via an internal pulley system to the tensioned line. Firing tension in the line to launch a projectile, such as an arrow or the like, is created by compression of the spring-biased pneumatic cylinder.

A toy projectile and launcher system. The projectile is tubular in shape and lightweight. The projectile has an exterior surface that is symmetrically disposed about an imaginary longitudinal axis. The launcher has a holding trough that receives and holds the tubular projectile. Within the launcher is a spring loaded element. The spring loaded element selectively moves between a cocked position and a released position. The spring loaded element contacts the projectile in the holding trough as the spring loaded element moves from its cocked position to its released position. Contact with the spring loaded element causes the tubular projectile to launch into flight in a direction perpendicular to its longitudinal axis. Simultaneously, contact with the spring loaded element imparts a spinning rotation to the projectile, wherein the projectile spins about its longitudinal axis in flight.

Underwater Hunting Crossbow

Номер: US20160231078A1

Underwater hunting crossbow with an elastic arming mechanism. This type of crossbow comprises an elongate body the rear end of which is provided with a stock fitted with a trigger, and the front end of which is provided with a head to channel and propel an arrow using lateral elastic ties for propulsion the front ends of which are attached or held to said head, and the rear ends of the elastic ties are connected to an arming device configured to catch on a peg or a nock situated at the rear of the arrow. The greatest disadvantage with this type of crossbow is that it can be armed only on the pegs or the nocks. The tension in the elastic ties is therefore constant because it is dictated by the distance separating the pegs or the nocks from the head. The solution proposed by the invention is an underwater hunting crossbow characterized in that the arming device incorporates clamping elements, which elements are able to move between an active position in which they clamp the body of the arrow and a passive position in which they release the body of said arrow, said clamping elements being in an active position as soon as the elastic ties are tensioned to arm the crossbow. Thus, when arming the crossbow by stretching the elastic ties, the arming device is positioned by clamping at any point on the arrow. Not only is it possible for the arrow no longer to have either pegs or nocks, but the hunter can adjust the tension in the elastic ties. 1.

The present invention is a toy projectile and launcher system. The lightweight projectile has an exterior surface symmetrically disposed about an imaginary longitudinal axis. The launcher has planar leaves or holding pins, for receiving and holding the projectile. Within the launcher is a spring-loaded element that moves between cocked and released positions. The spring-loaded element contacts a first planar leaf or a first holding pin as the spring-loaded element moves from cocked to released position. Contact with the spring-loaded element causes the leaves or pins to pinch the projectile and launch the projectile into flight in a direction perpendicular to its longitudinal axis. In an alternate embodiment, rotational and linear velocities are imparted to a projectile by action of a ribbon held against the projectile's exterior surface by parallel members. Contact with the spring-loaded element causes the ribbon to translate along the length of said parallel members and into flight. 1. A toy projectile and launcher system , comprising:a tubular projectile having an exterior surface that is symmetrically disposed about an imaginary longitudinal axis;a launcher having planar leaves positioned opposite each other along said imaginary longitudinal axis, for receiving and holding said tubular projectile;a spring loaded element, supported by said launcher, that is selectively moved between a cocked position and a released position, wherein said spring loaded element contacts one or more of said planar leaves as said spring loaded element moves from said cocked position to said released position, and wherein contact between said spring loaded element and said one or more of said planar leaves causes said tubular projectile to launch into flight in a direction perpendicular to said longitudinal axis.2.

A toy launcher for toy projectiles includes a drum having two concentric rings of holders with an angular offset between adjacent concentric rings, and motorized flywheels to launch the projectiles. The launcher also includes an assembly for pushing projectiles in the drum toward the flywheels for launch, including a separate pushing rod for each of the concentric rings to advance one projectile at a time toward the flywheels. Both pushing rods are simultaneously pushed when a trigger is pressed, but only one projectile at a time is launched because while one pushing rod advances a projectile, the other pushing rod is blocked by a structure on the drum. Successive presses of the trigger cause projectiles to be launched in an alternating sequence in which one projectile at a time is launched first from a first concentric ring, then from a second concentric ring, then from the first concentric ring. 1. A toy launcher for launching projectiles , comprising: (1) wherein adjacent projectile holders within each of the first second concentric rings are each separated from one another by a respective divider; and', '(2) wherein the respective projectile holders in the first concentric ring are angularly offset from the respective projectile holders in the second concentric ring; and, '(a) a drum having a substantially circular shape and comprising two or more concentric rings of projectile holders to hold projectiles for launching, the drum comprising a first of the two or more concentric rings located substantially at a first radius from the center of the drum and a second of the two or more concentric rings located substantially at a second radius from the center of the drum, wherein the second radius is different than the first radius,'}(b) one or more flywheels positioned in front of a first side of the drum that are adapted to propel at least one of the projectiles when pushed from the drum toward the one or more flywheels for launching the at least one of the ...
