exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A paint ball gun device, comprising:
a paint ball gun including a barrel connected to a receiver; a hopper device connected to said receiver of said paint ball gun, said hopper device having an upper opening; and a closure device disposed within said upper opening of said hopper, said closure device including an orifice configured to open wider when paint balls are loaded though said closure device and configured to close smaller after the ball paint balls have been loaded into said hopper device.
2 . A device according to claim 1 , wherein said closure device is a resilient diaphragm.
3 . A device according to claim 2 , wherein said diaphragm including a plurality of flap portions.
4 . A device according to claim 3 , wherein a plurality of said flap portions are located in a transverse plan of said closure device.
5 . A device according to claim 3 , wherein a plurality of said flap portions are located at an angle extending downwardly from a perimeter of said closure device towards a center of said diaphragm device.
6 . A device according to claim 4 , wherein a plurality of said flap portions are located at an angle extending downwardly from a perimeter of said closure device towards a center of said diaphragm device.
7 . A device according to claim 7 , wherein said plurality of flaps alternate one transverse flap portion to a next inclined flap portion.
8 . A device according to claim 1 , wherein said closure device is configured to allow paint balls to be loaded through said closure device in one direction, and prevents paint balls from escaping from the hopper device through said closure device in an opposite direction.
9 . A device according to claim 1 , wherein said closure device functions as a one-way valve relative to the movement of paint balls through said closure device.
10 . A device according to claim 1 , including a collar device disposed between said hopper device and said closure device.
11 . A device according to claim 10 , wherein said collar device includes one or more fasteners for connecting said collar device to said hopper device.
12 . A device according to claim 11 , wherein said fasteners are set screws extending radial inwardly through said collar with ends anchoring on a flange of said upper opening into said hopper device.
13 . A device according to claim 1 , including a loading container configured to store paint balls, said loading container including an upper mouth and a lid configured to open and close mouth of said loading container.
14 . A device according to claim 13 , wherein said mouth of said loading container is configured to open said closure device of said hopper device.
