Super absorbent polymer projectile launching device
View Patent ↗A device for projecting a soft-projectile made from a super absorbent polymer, the device comprising a holder designed for containing the soft-projectile made from a super absorbent polymer; and a firing mechanism operatively arranged to accelerate the holder from a firing position.
1. A device for projecting a soft-projectile made from a super absorbent polymer, the device comprising:
a feed chamber including a plurality of soft-projectiles having the same shape, each soft-projectile being formed from a hydrated super absorbent polymer, wherein the device is adapted to load a soft-projectile from the feed chamber to a firing position;
a firing mechanism operatively arranged to accelerate the soft-projectile made from a super absorbent polymer, from the firing position, down a barrel; and
a safety mechanism obstructing an end of the barrel and designed to prevent access to the interior of the barrel but allow a soft-projectile accelerated by the firing mechanism to exit the barrel.
2. The device for projecting a soft-projectile made from a super absorbent polymer of claim 1 , wherein the feed chamber is a removable magazine.
3. The device for projecting a soft-projectile made from a super absorbent polymer of claim 2 , further comprising a magazine interface including a locking mechanism between the magazine and the projectile device.
4. The device for projecting a soft-projectile made from a super absorbent polymer of claim 3 , wherein the locking mechanism includes at least one key.
5. The device for projecting a soft-projectile made from a super absorbent polymer of claim 3 , wherein the locking mechanism includes a slideable door operatively arranged to obstruct an opening designed to receive a soft-projectile.
6. The device for projecting a soft-projectile made from a super absorbent polymer of claim 5 , wherein the locking mechanism includes a key receiver.
7. The device for projecting a soft-projectile made from a super absorbent polymer of claim 6 , wherein the key receiver is located on a slideable door operatively arranged to obstruct an opening designed to receive a soft-projectile.
8. The device for projecting a soft-projectile made from a super absorbent polymer of claim 1 , wherein the soft-projectiles have a diameter of 10 millimeters or less.
9. The device for projecting a soft-projectile made from a super absorbent polymer of claim 1 , wherein the device is designed to use air pressure to launch the soft-projectiles.
10. The device for projecting a soft-projectile made from a super absorbent polymer of claim 1 , wherein the firing mechanism applies a force directly to the soft-projectile located in the firing position to accelerate the soft-projectile, from the firing position, down the barrel.
11. The device for projecting a soft-projectile made from a super absorbent polymer of claim 1 , wherein the device is a toy.
12. The device for projecting a soft-projectile made from a super absorbent polymer of claim 1 , wherein the device is in the shape of a gun.
13. A device for projecting a soft-projectile made from a super absorbent polymer, the device comprising:
a feed chamber including a plurality of soft-projectiles having the same shape, each soft-projectile being formed from a hydrated super absorbent polymer, wherein the device is adapted to load a soft-projectile from the feed chamber to a firing position; and
a firing mechanism operatively arranged to accelerate the soft-projectile made from a super absorbent polymer, from the firing position, down a barrel.
14. The device of claim 13 , further comprising a plurality of shields obstructing an end of the barrel and designed to prevent access to the interior of the barrel but allow a soft-projectile accelerated by the firing mechanism to exit the barrel.
15. The device of claim 13 , wherein the feed chamber is a removable magazine.
16. The device of claim 13 , wherein the soft-projectiles have a diameter of 10 millimeters or less.
17. The device of claim 13 , wherein the device is designed to use air pressure to launch the soft-projectiles.
18. The device of claim 13 , wherein the firing mechanism applies a force directly to the soft-projectile located in the firing position to accelerate the soft-projectile, from the firing position, down the barrel.
19. The device of claim 13 , wherein the device is a toy.
20. The device of claim 13 , wherein the device is in the shape of a gun.
