Toy gun assembly
View Patent ↗A toy gun assembly has at least two, first and second independently operable toy guns. Each of those guns has a body and a shooting mechanism in the body. The toy guns are connectable with each other by means of a connector. The shooting mechanisms of the toy guns are independently operable when the toy guns are connected by the connector.
1. A toy gun assembly comprising:
a plurality of toy guns, said plurality comprising a first, a second, and a third independently operable toy gun, each of said toy guns having a body, and a shooting mechanism disposed within the body, wherein each of said toy guns are variably interconnectable, and
a first connector for connecting said first toy gun with said second toy gun, and a second connector for connecting said third toy gun with said first toy gun, wherein the first connector comprises a first connecting component of the first toy gun inter-engageable with a second connecting component of the second toy gun,
wherein the shooting mechanisms remain independently operable when the toy guns are interconnected.
2. The toy gun assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first connecting component is configured to be movable between a first position in engagement with the second connecting component and a second position out of engagement with the second connecting component, and a resilient biasing element resiliently biasing the first connecting component towards the first position to engage with the second connecting component.
3. The toy gun assembly as claims in claim 2 , wherein the first connecting component is associated with a release member which is arranged, upon movement, to move the first connecting component against the action of the resilient biasing member so as to disengage from the second connecting component.
4. The toy gun assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first connector comprises a latch.
5. The toy gun assembly as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a coupler, wherein the coupler comprises a first coupling component of the second toy gun inter-engageable with a second coupling component of the third toy gun, the first coupling component being the second connecting component and inter-engageable with the first connecting component for connecting the second toy gun with the first toy gun.
6. The toy gun assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the toy guns have respective shooting axes and are inter-engageable together with their shooting axes extending in the same direction.
7. The toy gun assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the shooting mechanism of at least one of the toy guns is driven by an air pump.
8. The toy gun assembly as claimed in claim 7 , wherein said at least one of the toy guns comprises a projectile gun and includes a reciprocating member arranged for reciprocating motion relative to the body for charging air into the air pump.
9. The toy gun assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the shooting mechanism of at least one of the toy guns comprises a pair of rollers driven by an electric motor to rotate in opposite directions for ejecting a projectile passing through the rollers.
