Smart Parts applies for Pneu. Activ. Clip

RealtorTommy · 01-31-2008, 08:27 PM

I found this searching around...I don't know if this is "new" news, but I thought it was interesting that Smart Parts may be setting up a clip feed marker. I could not find art for it...

Title: PNEUMATICALLY ACTUATED CLIP FOR A PAINTBALL GUN

Abstract: A pneumatically actuated clip for a paintball gun may include a driving member such as a soft sealing ball or a flexible drive piston that conforms in shape and size to a cross- sectional area of a passageway containing a supply of paintballs. The passageway preferably provides a paintball route (or pathway) inside the clip that supplies the paintballs to the paintball gun. In one embodiment, the driving member creates a pneumatic chamber (sealing as it moves) in the area behind the driving member. Pressurized gas supplied to the pneumatic chamber preferably drives the driving member and the supply of paintballs forward along the pathway. The pressurized gas that drives the driving member can, for instance, be controlled by means of an integrated regulator or can be a timed pulse of air supplied through a solenoid valve as controlled by a signal from a control board. The signal could be generated using a breech sensor to determine when a paintball has been loaded into the breech to determine when to actuate the supply solenoid. Alternatively, a pressure switch can control the supply of pressurized gas through a solenoid. Other features and embodiments are also disclosed.

Hummm, sorta like an A-5 loader...............

hank_k · 01-31-2008, 08:49 PM

Or a pneumatic take on the ATS feed system ...

RealtorTommy · 01-31-2008, 09:01 PM

I just viewed the art..I'm tring to upload it...Its a Magazine/Clip in front of the trigger guard. Large in size and has a U-shape channel to hold the paintballs in.

russc · 01-31-2008, 09:05 PM

Cool. Sounds innovative and it would appear that it's their own idea...

Azzy · 01-31-2008, 09:12 PM

Sounds like a new way to classify a paintball barrel.

And they dont know the difference between a magazine and a clip.

RealtorTommy · 01-31-2008, 09:14 PM

I don't like them either Azzy...but I have seen the art work...it's a paintball mag.
I see it as they are going Scenario or Military/Police.

Azzy · 01-31-2008, 09:20 PM

Eh, they are lawyers, and there are few of them that I trust in this world....

RealtorTommy · 01-31-2008, 09:26 PM

If someone doesn't beat me to it..I'll post a pic tomorrow...sorry but the site will not let me capture the pic. I printed it out and will take a pic of it and upload...

ljpiller · 01-31-2008, 09:30 PM

Can't wait to see it.

I'm a little skeptical of what they are going to do with it. It sounds interesting though. (Maybe later they will make a low pressure mod for the clip that makes the marker shoot further and more accurate

)
