Shot ball for pneumatic gun
Abstract
A shot ball for a pneumatic gun is disclosed, which comprises an
outer skin which forms a breaking line as its two parts contact
with each other; a stuff which is filled in the interior of the
outer skin; and a shock absorbing cover which is attached to the
outer skin and absorbs an external impact. As a shock absorbing
cover made of a silicon material is attached to an outer surface of
an outer skin, even when a certain external impact is applied to
the outer skin, the impact is substantially absorbed and
transferred to the outer skin, so the outer skin is not easily
broken, and the stuff stored in the outer skin is stably
stored.

Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present invention relates to a shot ball for a pneumatic
gun, and in particular to a shot ball for a pneumatic gun which can
be used for a survival game, a crime prevention, a self-protection
or a demonstrator suppression as a shot ball is fired and explodes
on an object, so a paint or a tear liquid filled in the interior of
the shot ball is coated on an object or is sprayed around an
object.
BACKGROUND ART
[0002] Generally, a survival game is told that persons or groups
are divided, and the divided persons or groups fire a paint ball
filled with paint while moving in a mountain or a building by using
a pneumatic gun for thereby playing like a simulation war game.
[0003] FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating a cross section
structure of a conventional paint ball for a survival game.
[0004] As shown in FIG. 1, the conventional paint ball 100 for a
survival game comprises an outer skin 110 which is formed as two
semi-spheres made of a gelatin material are bonded with each other
while forming a breaking line 111, and a fluorescent paint 120
filled in the outer skin 110.
[0005] In case of the above conventional paint ball 100 for a
survival game, the paint ball is designed to break by means of a
certain external impact. So, when a paint ball is not fired to an
object by using a pneumatic gun, for example, when it drops down on
the ground by mistake, an external impact is directly transferred
to the object by means of a pneumatic gun, so the outer skin 100
may be broken, and the fluorescent paint 120 filled in the paint
ball may be leaked.
[0006] As the outer skin 110 is made of a gelatin which is weak to
water, when the conventional paint ball 100 for a survival game
contacts with water, the outer skin 110 is melted, so the
fluorescent paint 120 filled in the paint ball 100 leaks to the
outside.
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
[0007] Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to
provide a shot ball for a pneumatic gun in which an outer skin is
not easily broken by means of an external impact, so a filled stuff
filled in the outer skin is stably stored.
[0008] It is another object of the present invention to provide a
shot ball for a pneumatic gun in which an outer skin is stably
protected even when water contacts with an outer skin.
[0009] To achieve the above objects, there is provided a shot ball
for a pneumatic gun which comprises an outer skin which forms a
breaking line as its two parts contact with each other; a stuff
which is filled in the interior of the outer skin; and a shock
absorbing cover which is attached to the outer skin and absorbs an
external impact.
[0010] There is further provided a waterproof film which is formed
as a waterproof paint is painted on the whole outer surfaces of the
outer skin.
[0011] The shock absorbing cover is attached to both sides of the
outer skin with respect to the breaking line in a state that the
breaking line is exposed to the outside.
[0012] The outer skin is formed in a ball shape.
[0013] The outer skin is formed in a bullet shape.
[0014] The stuff is a fluorescent paint containing a fluorescent
material.
[0015] The stuff is a tear liquid.
[0016] The stuff contains an ultraviolet ray sensitive light
emission material.
EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION
[0017] According to a shot ball for a pneumatic gun according to
the present invention, as a shock absorbing cover made of a silicon
material is attached to an outer surface of an outer skin, even
when a certain external impact is applied to the outer skin, the
impact is substantially absorbed and transferred to the outer skin,
so the outer skin is not easily broken, and the stuff stored in the
outer skin is stably stored.
[0018] It should be appreciated that since a waterproof paint is
painted on the whole outer surfaces of the outer skin, even when
water contacts with the outer skin, the outer skin is reliably
stored without damages.
[0019] It should be appreciated that when an outer skin is made in
a bullet shape, a hit rate with respect to an object is
significantly enhanced.

MODES FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
[0026] FIG. 2 is a perspective view illustrating a shot ball for a
pneumatic gun according to an embodiment of the present invention,
FIG. 3 is a cross sectional view illustrating a shot ball for a
pneumatic gun according to an embodiment of the present invention,
FIG. 4 is a perspective view illustrating a shot ball for a
pneumatic gun according to another embodiment of the present
invention, and FIG. 5 is a cross sectional view illustrating a shot
ball for a pneumatic gun according to another embodiment of the
present invention.
[0027] An outer skin 10, 10' of a shot ball 1, 1' for a pneumatic
gun according to the present invention is not easily broken by
means of an external impact, so a stuff 20 stored in the outer skin
10, 10' can be reliably stored, and even when the outer skin 10,
10' contacts with water, the outer skin 10 can be stably stored. As
shown in FIGS. 2 to 5, the shot ball 1, 1' comprises an outer skin
10, 10' forming a breaking like 11, 11', a stuff 20 stored in the
outer skin 10, 10', and a shock absorbing cover 30 which is
attached to both sides of the outer skin 10, 10' for absorbing the
external impact.
[0028] Here, the outer skin 10, 10' forms a certain casing for
storing the stuff 20 therein and is preferably made of a gelatin
material for minimizing the impact applied to a certain object when
the shot ball 1, 1' for a pneumatic gun is fired to a certain
object. The outer skins 10 and 10' are contacted with each other
and are bonded while automatically forming a breaking line 11, 11'
along its center.
[0029] A stress created by means of the impact as the shot ball 1,
1' hits the object is focused on the breaking line 11, 11', and the
outer skin 10, 10' is broken along the breaking line 11, 11', so
the stuff 20 stored in the outer skin 10, 10' leaks to the
outside.
[0030] As shown in FIG. 3, the semi-spheres of the outer skin 10,
10' are contacted with other and are bonded like the paint ball
used for a conventional survival game, and then the breaking 11 is
formed along its center line for thereby forming a ball shaped
outer skin 10, 10'. According to another embodiment of the present
invention, as shown in FIG. 3, a bullet head shaped outer skin
portion and a bullet body shaped outer portion are contacted with
each other and are bonded, so a bullet shaped outer skin is made
while forming a breaking line 11 along a surrounding surface of a
bullet as shown in FIG. 10'.
[0031] In case of the bullet shaped outer skin 10', it might be
used for a crime prevention, a self-protection or a demonstrator
suppression purpose. In this case, it is advantageous that a hit
rate might be significantly enhanced depending on a fluidic
mechanical characteristic based on the bullet shaped outer skin,
and a flying distance of the same might be significantly
enhanced.
[0032] The stuff 20 is filled in the outer skin 10, 10'. Here, the
stuff 20 corresponds to a functional liquid, which works against
the object depending on the use of the shot ball 1, 1'. When the
shot ball 1, 1' for a pneumatic gun according to the present
invention is used for a survival game gun, it may be made of a
fluorescent paint including a fluorescent material, and when the
bullet 1, 1' for a pneumatic gun according to the present invention
is used for a crime prevention, a self-protection or a demonstrator
suppression gas fun, it might be generally made of a tear
liquid.
[0033] An ultraviolet ray sensitive light emission material is
preferably contained in the stuff 20. When the ultraviolet ray
sensitive light emitting material is exposed to an ultraviolet ray
emitted from an ultraviolet ray lamp, it emits a certain color, so
the object hit by the shot ball 1, 1' for a pneumatic gun according
to the present invention can be easily recognized, which leans to
an easier and reliable capture and chase of an object. The
ultraviolet ray sensitive light emitting material may be an
ultraviolet ray sensitive powder (UV powder) or a UV sensitive
paint.
[0034] The shock absorbing cover 30 is attached to both sides of
the outer skin 10, 10'. The shock absorbing cover 30 reliably
absorbs an impact created as the shot ball 1, 1' for a pneumatic
gun according to the present invention falls down on the ground and
transfers to the outer skin for thereby preventing the outer skin
10, 10' from being broken by means of a certain external impact. It
is preferably made of a silicon material for reliable shock
absorption.
[0035] In case of the ball shaped outer skin 10, the shock
absorbing cover 30 is attached with the same thickness, so the
whole ball shape is maintained. In case of the bullet shaped outer
skin 10', the bullet head is thicker than other portions for
thereby enhancing a hit rate with respect to the object.
[0036] It is preferred that the shock absorbing cover 30 is
attached to both sides using an adhesive with respect to the
breaking line 11, 11', so the outer skin 10, 10' can be easily
broken when the shot ball 1, 1' for a pneumatic gun according to
the present invention is fired from a pneumatic gun and is hit on
the object, and then the stuff 20 can leak to the outside. In this
case, the breaking line 11, 11' is exposed to the outside in a
state that the shock absorbing cover 30 is attached.
[0037] It is preferred that the water proof film 40 is formed on
the whole outer surfaces of the outer skin 10, 10' for preventing
the outer skin 10, 10', generally made of a gelatin material, from
contacting with water and melting and flowing down by reliably
avoiding water from directly contacting with the outer skin 10,
10'. A waterproof paint containing an epoxy, a polyurethane or
something is coated on the whole outer surfaces of the outer skin
10, 10'.
[0038] Since the shock absorbing cover 30 is attached to the outer
side of the outer skin 10, 10' of the shot ball 1, 1' for a
pneumatic gun according to the present invention, even when an
undesired external impact is applied to the outer skin 10, 10', the
undesired external impact is reliably absorbed and is transferred
to the outer skin, so the outer skin 10, 10' is not easily broken
by an undesired external impact, and the stuff stored in the outer
skin 10, 10' can be reliably stored therein.
[0039] In the shot ball 1, 1' for a pneumatic gun according to the
present invention, since the waterproof film 40 is formed on the
whole outer surfaces of the outer skin 10, 10' by means of a
waterproof paint, even when the outer skin 10, 10' contacts with
water, the outer skin 10, 10' is not damaged by water and is stably
and reliably stored.
[0040] In case of the shot ball 1' for a pneumatic gun according to
the present invention having a bullet shaped outer skin 10', it
should be appreciated that a hit rate with respect to a certain
object is significantly enhanced, and a flying distance can be also
significantly enhanced.
[0041] As the present invention may be embodied in several forms
without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics
thereof, it should also be understood that the above-described
examples are not limited by any of the details of the foregoing
description, unless otherwise specified, but rather should be
construed broadly within its spirit and scope as defined in the
appended claims, and therefore all changes and modifications that
fall within the meets and bounds of the claims, or equivalences of
such meets and bounds are therefore intended to be embraced by the
appended claims.
