Abstract

A projectile for a toy gun includes an enclosure having a light transmission property, at least one light emitting unit provided within the enclosure and configured to emit light, a magnetic switch provided in the enclosure and configured to detect magnetism, and a control unit provided within the enclosure and configured to control a light emission of the at least one light emitting unit, wherein the control unit controls the at least one light emitting unit to start emitting the light when the magnetic switch detects the magnetism.

Claims

1. A projectile for a toy gun, comprising:

an enclosure having a light transmission property;

at least one light emitting unit provided within the enclosure and configured to emit light;

a magnetic switch provided in the enclosure and configured to detect magnetism; and

a control unit provided within the enclosure and configured to control a light emission of the at least one light emitting unit,

wherein the control unit controls the at least one light emitting unit to start emitting the light when the magnetic switch detects the magnetism.

2. The projectile for the toy gun according to claim 1, wherein after the at least one light emitting unit starts emitting the light and when the magnetic switch detects the magnetism, the control unit controls the at least one light emitting unit to stop emitting the light of the at least one light emitting unit.

3. The projectile for the toy gun according to claim 1, wherein after the at least one light emitting unit starts emitting the light and when the magnetic switch detects the magnetism, the control unit controls the at least one light emitting unit to flicker the light emitted by the at least one light emitting unit.

4. The projectile for the toy gun according to claim 1, wherein when a predetermined period of time elapses since after the at least one light emitting unit starts emitting the light, the control unit controls the at least one light emitting unit to stop emitting the light of the at least one light emitting unit.

5. The projectile for the toy gun according to claim 1, wherein the at least one light emitting unit includes a plurality of light emitting units, and the control unit controls the plurality of light emitting units to start emitting light beams of the plurality of light emitting units simultaneously or at different timings.

6. The projectile for the toy gun according to claim 1, wherein the at least one light emitting unit includes a plurality of light emitting units, and the control unit controls the plurality of light emitting units to stop emitting the light beams of the plurality of light emitting units simultaneously or at different timings.

7. The projectile for the toy gun according to claim 1, further comprising a voice/sound output unit provided within the enclosure and configured to output a voice/sound, wherein the control unit controls the voice/sound output unit to start outputting the voice/sound of the voice/sound output unit after the at least one light emitting unit starts emitting the light and when the magnetic switch detects the magnetism.

8. The projectile for the toy gun according to claim 1, further comprising a flashing unit provided within the enclosure and configured to output a flash of light, wherein the control unit controls the flashing unit to start outputting the flash of light of the flashing unit after the at least one light emitting unit starts emitting the light and when the magnetic switch detects the magnetism.
