both mentally and physically, themselves. Among these leisure
activities, one that is exciting and challenging is always a
favorite for regular people, such as shooting games that are most
favorable by male players. Due to the favor of shooting games,
survival games that are a special type of shooting games are
popular in the market. In such a game, the "firearms" used makes
use of gas or electricity to effect shooting of for example BB
bullets from the firearms.
[0003] However, hand tools, such as screwdrivers and hexagonal
tools, are commonly used in manufacturing such a firearm or to
replace components of the firearm. Familiarity is generally
necessary for assembling the components in a disassembling or
assembling operation. Replacement of for example a motor or other
components of the firearm is generally very difficult for general
consumers. This is certainly inconvenient for the general
consumers.
[0004] Thus, the present invention is made to overcome such
problems and drawbacks of the known devices.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0005] In view of the above discussed problems, the present
invention provides a quick assembling/disassembling structure for
motor handle module of electrical gear box that allows a user to
easily replace components and accessories thereof through combined
operation of a snap-fitting element and a guide section.
[0006] Thus, an object of the present invention is to provide a
quick assembling/disassembling structure for motor handle module of
electrical gear box, which allows of quick replacement of the
handle.
[0007] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides
a quick assembling/disassembling structure for motor handle module
of electrical gear box, which comprises a firearm body, which is
provided with a trigger and is sideways connected to a grip that
forms a connection slot, and a snap-fitting element, which is
rotatably mounted to the firearm body and is set at a location
adjacent one side of the trigger. The snap-fitting element has an

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0018] The following descriptions are exemplary embodiments only,
and are not intended to limit the scope, applicability or
configuration of the invention in any way. Rather, the following
description provides a convenient illustration for implementing
exemplary embodiments of the invention. Various changes to the
described embodiments may be made in the function and arrangement
of the elements described without departing from the scope of the
invention as set forth in the appended claims.
[0019] Referring to FIG. 1-4, which are respectively an exploded
view, a cross-sectional view, and partial perspective views of a
preferred embodiment according to the present invention, these
drawings clearly show that the present invention provides a quick
assembling/disassembling structure for motor handle module of
electrical gear box, which comprises the following components.
[0020] A firearm body 1 is provided with a trigger 11. The firearm
body 1 has an end forming a coupling section 12 to be coupled with
a grip 2 that will be further described. The coupling section 12
has inside surfaces forming a guide section 13. The guide section
13 is composed of a raised portion and a recessed portion.
[0021] The grip 2 is coupled, in a sideways manner, to the firearm
body 1. The grip 2 forms a connection slot 21 and a connection
section 22 that is coupled to the coupling section 12.
[0022] A snap-fitting element 3 is rotatably mounted to the firearm
body 1 and is set at a location adjacent one side of the trigger 11
and has an end forming a snap-fitting section 31 that is in
retaining engagement with the connection slot 21.
[0023] The coupling section 12 has outside surfaces forming at
least one slide groove 14 to slidably receive the connection
section 22 therein. The coupling section 12 is provided with at
least one connector 15 and the connector 15 is located at one side
of the guide section 13. The snap-fitting element 3 forms, at a
location remote from the snap-fitting section 31, a joint section
32 that is connectable to the firearm body 1. The grip 2 receives
therein a motor 25 that is provided with bevel gear 24 and
comprises an elastic member 23. The motor 25 is provided with a
connector support 26. The firearm body 1 receives therein a disk
gear 16 mating the bevel gear 24.
[0024] With the above structure and arrangement, the operation of
the present invention will be described as follows with reference
to FIGS. 2-6, which are respectively a cross-sectional view,
partial perspective views, and operation illustrating views, these
drawings show that the present invention generally comprises a
firearm body 1 that comprises a trigger 11 and a grip 2 that is
sideways coupled to the firearm body 1. When a user intends to
remove the grip 2, the joint section 32 of the snap-fitting element
3 that is connected to the firearm body 1 is forcibly pulled
downward, whereby through a see-saw action, the snap-fitting
section 31 formed at the opposite end of the snap-fitting element 3
is moved upward away from the connection slot 21 of the grip and
the grip 2 is allowed to slide off the slide groove 14. During the
disassembling process, since the disk gear 16 of the firearm body 1
and the bevel gear 24 of the grip 2 are in mated engagement with
each other, so that during the operation of sliding off, the raised
and recessed arrangement of the guide section 13 is used to force
the grip 2, after separating from the firearm body 1, to move in a
predetermined direction in order to reduce interference between the
disk gear 16 and the bevel gear 24. On the other hand, when the
user wishes to re-assemble the grip 2 to the firearm body 1, the
grip 2 is positioned to align with the slide groove 14 formed in
the firearm body 1 for sideways insertion to couple the grip 2 with
the firearm body 1. During such a process, to prevent the motor 25
received in the grip 2 and the bevel gear 24 mounted to the motor
25 from engaging the disk gear 16 of the firearm body 1 in such a
direct manner as to cause damage, the guide section 13 that is
formed in inside surfaces of the coupling section 12 of the firearm
body 1 is used to guide the grip 2, during the insertion process,
to move along a predetermined path (namely being guided along the
raised and recessed arrangement of the guide section 13) to
complete coupling. During the process of coupling, the elastic
member 23 that is provided for the motor 25 in the connection
section 22 of the grip 2 provides a function of cushioning so as to
suppress noise generated during the operation of the motor 25.
After the above process is completed, the connection slot 21 of the
grip 2 is set in engagement with the snap-fitting section 31 of the
snap-fitting element 3 again, so that the connector 15 is connected
to the motor 25 of the grip 2 to achieve the purpose of quick
assembling and disassembling. Further, the connection of power
supply for the motor 25 is also a novel technical feature of the
present invention. The conventional way of power supply for a motor
is done by electrical wire connecting to a battery and a switch.
The wire lay-out and maintenance are troublesome. In the present
invention, the quick assembling/disassembling structure for motor
handle module comprises a connector 15 arranged at each of two
opposite inner sides of the coupling section 12 of the gear box and
connected by electrical wire to a power distribution board. A
connector support 26 is arranged behind the bevel gear 24 of the
motor 25 of the connection section 22 of the grip 2 and the
connector support 26 has two ends each provided with a connector 15
connected by an electrical wire to a power terminal under the motor
25. When the grip 2 is sideways coupled to or separated from the
firearm body 1, the connectors 15 arranged at inner sides of the
coupling section 12 of the gear box are connected to or
disconnected from the connectors on the connector support 26 behind
the bevel gear 24 of the motor 25 to achieve the purposes of easy
replacement of components.
[0025] However, it is noted that what described above is
illustration of a preferred embodiment and is not intended to
impose undue limitation to the scope of the present invention. All
simple modifications or equivalent structures of what described and
taught in the specification and drawings are considered belonging
to the scope of the appended claims.
[0026] Thus, referring to all the drawings, when compared to the
known techniques, the present invention provides the following
advantages in use.
[0027] The combined operation of the snap-fitting element 3 and the
guide section 13 allows a user to easily replace components so as
to achieve quick replacement operation of the grip 2.
[0028] It will be understood that each of the elements described
above, or two or more together may also find a useful application
in other types of methods differing from the type described
above.
[0029] While certain novel features of this invention have been
shown and described and are pointed out in the annexed claim, it is
not intended to be limited to the details above, since it will be
understood that various omissions, modifications, substitutions and
changes in the forms and details of the device illustrated and in
its operation can be made by those skilled in the art without
departing in any way from the spirit of the present invention.
