Disclosure of Invention

The balloon-type flight vehicle having a length of 1m or more is suitable for outdoor play, but has a disadvantage of being too large for indoor play.

Further, it is necessary to take time and effort to expand the main body from the folded state when not in use in order to play, and a step of attaching the tail to a predetermined position is also necessary, so that there is a disadvantage that preparation work necessary for playing is excessive.

The present invention has been made to overcome such drawbacks, and an object of the present invention is to provide a flying toy which can be easily and safely played outdoors or indoors and which can be folded down when not in use, such as storage.

The present invention relates to a hollow plastic flying toy simulating a rocket shape, wherein a main body is configured such that a front trunk portion on a front end side is thin, a middle trunk portion in the middle has a maximum diameter, and a plurality of tail wings are provided on a rear trunk portion in the rear, and the tail wings are inflated by air as in the main body, thereby maintaining the shape of a rocket-type flying body provided with the tail wings, and each wing body of the plurality of tail wings is formed so as to be twisted in one direction with respect to a central axis of the main body of the flying toy, and has an air inlet in the main body.

The total length of the flying toy is tens of cm to tens of cm.

Each wing body of the tail wing is configured as follows: a bag-like shape formed by connecting front and rear 2 sheets to each other at a front edge portion, an outer edge portion, and a rear edge portion, the bag-like shape being connected and fixed to the main body portion by a connecting portion connecting the front edge portion and the rear edge portion, and communicating the inside of the blade body and the inside of the main body portion at the position of the connecting portion, so that air in the inside of the main body portion is injected into the inside of the blade body, and air in the blade body is discharged into the inside of the main body portion; each blade body has a linear adhesive portion for pressing the front and rear 2 sheets against each other from the rear edge portion toward the front.

The main body portion is configured to: the front body portion is formed to be thinner than the middle body portion, the middle body portion gradually increases in diameter from the front body portion in a curved line, the middle body portion is connected to the rear body portion with a slightly reduced diameter in the vicinity of a rear end thereof, the rear body portion gradually decreases in diameter linearly up to a rear end portion, and the rear body portion includes the tail.

The flying toy in the shape of the rocket-type flying body is provided with the center of gravity of the whole flying toy near the central position of the main body part in the front-back direction or closer to the front part than the central position.

In the flying toy according to the present invention, the tail is formed in a rocket type having a thin front end side and a tail provided in the rear trunk portion, and the tail is provided to the main body in a twisted state, so that when the tail is flying backward, the main body is rotated about the central axis in the front-rear direction of the main body, and the main body is rotated and the tail of the rear trunk portion has an effect of the rotation of the main body, thereby allowing the flying toy to fly far away in a stable posture.

Further, since the flying toy of this type is formed by forming each wing body of the main body or the tail in a plastic bag shape and is inflatable by air, it can be used only by injecting air through the air injection port and can be discharged to be small, and is not easily damaged even if it hits an object or a person during flying, and has an extremely low possibility of damage to the hit object or person, so that it is easy to fly for a long distance in a safe condition and enjoy playing.

Further, since the overall length is tens of cm to tens of cm, the toy can be thrown indoors or outdoors to enjoy the fun of playing, and when the toy is not used, the toy can be folded down by discharging air, and can be easily stored, transported, carried, and stored.

Further, each wing body of the tail is formed in a bag shape connecting the peripheral edges of the front and rear 2 sheets, and by communicating the inside of each wing body with the inside of the main body of the toy, air is injected into the main body to inflate the main body, so that the tail is inflated together, and thus the shape specified for the flying toy is formed. Further, since the linear adhesive portion is provided forward from the rear edge portion of each blade, the air resistance during flight due to the excessive expansion of each blade serving as the tail can be prevented.

Further, the main body portion has a shape in which the front body portion is thinner, the middle body portion is thickest, and the rear body portion is thinner toward the rear, so that the air resistance during flying is reduced, the flying distance is increased, and the flying toy can be easily made to fly farther, thereby increasing the fun of the game.

Further, the center of gravity of the rocket-type plastic toy having plural fins at the rear can be set to be near the center or in front of the center in the front-rear direction of the main body, and therefore, the light flying toy made of a plastic sheet can fly in a stable posture.

Detailed Description

As shown in fig. 1, the flying toy 10 of the present invention is a rocket-shaped plastic flying toy, in which a front body 21 near a front end 13 is formed in a cylindrical shape thinner than a middle body 23 in a middle of a main body 11 or a rear body 25 behind the middle body, and a tail 31 is provided at the rear body 25.

The main body 11 and the tail 31 are inflated by injecting air, and a plastic sheet having a thickness of about 0.2mm is used, and has a total length of about ten to several tens of cm and a maximum diameter of about 2 to 3 to 7 to 10cm in the middle trunk 23. Further, the length of the tail 31 is about 1 to 1 of 4 minutes to 5 minutes of the total length of the main body 11, and the thickness is about 5mm to 15 mm.

Further, a portion of the body 11 on the side of the tip portion 13, which is approximately 1 in 4, is defined as a front barrel portion 21, the front barrel portion 21 is formed in a thin cylindrical shape having a diameter of approximately 1 in 2 of the maximum diameter of the body 11, and the tip portion 13 is formed in a substantially spherical shape. The middle body portion 23 following the front body portion 21 is a portion substantially at the center of the main body portion 11, and has a shape in which the diameter of the middle body portion 23 is increased in a curved manner while gradually increasing the diameter from the front body portion 21, and the diameter is slightly reduced in the vicinity of the rear end of the middle body portion 23. The rear body portion 25 following the middle body portion 23 is formed in a shape in which the diameter is linearly gradually reduced to the rear end of the main body portion 11, and the diameter of the rear end portion 15 is designed to be slightly the same as or slightly larger than the diameter of the front end portion 13.

As shown in fig. 2, the rear end portion 15 is provided with an air inlet 51 for injecting air into the main body 11 and the tail 31.

The tail 31 formed near the rear end of the rear body 25 is formed by forming four pieces of wing members of the same shape at equal intervals around the rear body 25. The fin body of the tail fin 31 is designed such that 2 plastic sheets are formed into a bag shape, and air can be injected through the main body 11 in the same manner as the main body 11.

The tail 31 has: a front edge portion 33 extending obliquely rearward to the outside from a front end of the connecting portion 41 with the main body portion 11; an outer edge portion 35 extending rearward from an outer end of the front edge portion 33; and a rear edge portion 37 connecting the rear end of the outer edge portion 35 and the rear end of the connecting portion 41, wherein the 2 sheets are connected to the front edge portion 33, the outer edge portion 35, and the rear edge portion 37. Furthermore, the 2 sheets are connected to the main body 11 through the connecting portions 41, so that the inside of the main body 11 and the inside of the tail 31 are communicated between the connecting portions 41 of the 2 sheets, and the air inside the main body 11 is sent into the inside of the wing, or the air inside the wing is sent into the main body 11.

Each blade has a linear adhesive portion 45, and the linear adhesive portion 45 is formed by heat-sealing front and back 2 sheets of the blade substantially parallel to the outer edge 35 or the connecting portion 41 from the middle position of the rear edge 37 to the vicinity of the front edge 33. Therefore, when the wing body is inflated by air being blown into the wing body from the main body 11, the thickness of the wing body can be prevented from becoming thick at the middle portion, and the shape of the wing body as the tail 31 can be maintained as a plate shape as a whole.

The tail 31 is integrally attached to the main body 11 by inclining each wing to twist about 15 to 20 degrees with respect to the longitudinal axis of the rear body 25 such that the front edge 33 and the rear edge 37 are offset in a predetermined direction with respect to the longitudinal central axis of the main body 11.

Therefore, when the flying toy 10 is thrown, the flying toy 10 can fly by rotating the main body 11 around the central axis in the front-rear direction of the main body 11 by the twisting of the tail 31 in one direction.

The air inlet 51 provided in the rear end portion 15 is provided with a check valve, is normally pressed into the main body 11 at the rear end portion 15, and is provided with a cover member, and the cover member is removed by pulling out the mouth portion from the rear end portion 15, so that air can be injected into the main body 11 or the tail 31 through the air inlet 51, and the flying toy 10 can be used. When the lid member is removed and the mouth portion is pressed from the left and right sides, the check valve is opened, and the air in the main body portion 11 and the like can be discharged.

In this way, the flying toy 10 is formed of a plastic sheet with the main body 11 and the tail 31 being hollow. Therefore, the tail fin 31 composed of a plurality of fin bodies having a predetermined thickness and the rocket-shaped main body 11 having a predetermined shape and size of the tail fin 31 can be easily formed by injecting air into the interior of the rocket-shaped engine.

Accordingly, when the maximum diameter of the main body 11 is about several cm and the total length is about ten-odd cm, or when the maximum diameter is 10cm or less and the total length is about several tens cm, the flying toy 10 capable of throwing a game can be easily and quickly achieved by injecting air through the air inlet 51 of the flying toy 10.

In addition, when a game is played using the flying toy 10, the flying toy 10 is rotated by the main body 11 through the tail 31 provided in a twisted shape with respect to the center line of the main body 11 after the flying toy 10 is thrown, and the flying posture is stably maintained by the design such as the shape of the main body 11 in which the front trunk part 21 is thinner than the middle trunk part 23 and the rear trunk part 25, the operation of the tail 31, and the center axis stabilization by the rotation of the toy, so that the toy can be easily flown to a remote place for play.

Further, since the length is designed to be tens of cm to tens of cm, the toy can be thrown indoors or outdoors, and the rocket-type toy can be easily formed into a predetermined shape by injecting air regardless of the place to be traveled, thereby enabling the player to enjoy the game.

Further, since the flying toy 10 is formed by making the main body portion 11 or the tail 31 of thin plastic and is capable of maintaining its shape by air expansion, the flying toy 10 is not damaged even when a person or an object is hit, and the possibility of damage to the person or the object being hit is extremely low.

That is, if the length of the body 11 is about 12 to 13cm to 20cm in ten cm and the maximum diameter of the middle trunk 23 is about 2 to 3cm, the player can throw the object with fingers and can play a throw game indoors such as in a general household, and enjoy a game such as throwing the object. Further, if the length of the body 11 is about 50 to 70cm, which is several tens of cm, and the maximum diameter of the middle trunk 23 is about 7 to 10cm, the player can hold the player with his hand to throw the player, and can throw the player indoors or outdoors in a wide room, etc., and can enjoy the game such as throwing by 1 player and catching by 2 players, etc., by 1 player.

Further, if the total length is about ten cm such as 12 to 13cm to 20cm, the air can be discharged when not in use, the fold is small, and the bag can be very easily put into a pocket or the like, and is convenient to carry or transfer, and even if the size is about tens of cm such as 50 to 70cm, the bag can be easily put into a pocket or a bag, and is convenient to carry or transfer.

The flying toy 10 may be designed to have a size of about tens of cm such as about ten cm to about 50 to 70cm, or may be designed to have a size of about tens of cm, such as about ten cm to about 50 to 70cm, in addition to a small flying body having a total length of 12 to 13cm to 20cm, which is played mainly indoors, or a medium flying body having a total length of 50 to 70cm, which is played mainly outdoors.

In the above embodiment, the air inlet 51 is provided in the rear end portion 15 of the flying toy 10, but the air inlet 51 is not limited to the rear end portion 15 and may be provided in an appropriate place of the main body portion 11 such as the front end portion 13.

The number of the tail 31 is not limited to 4, and may be an appropriate number of 2 or more, and may be arranged at equal intervals on the periphery of the rear end portion 15, and the tail 31 serves to stabilize the rear of the flying toy 10, maintain the posture, and rotate the flying toy 10.

Further, the linear adhesive portions 45 provided on each blade are not limited to 1, and a plurality of adhesive portions 45 may be provided in parallel with the outer edge portion 35, and the thickness of each blade can be easily ensured to be thin even when the area of the blade is large by forming the plurality of adhesive portions 45 in parallel.

The flying toy 10 has a center of gravity substantially at the center of the main body 11 in the front-rear direction for stable flight.

That is, when the main body 11 or the tail 31 is formed of a plastic sheet having the same thickness, since the front trunk 21 is designed to be thin and a plurality of wing bodies are provided behind the main body 11 as the tail 31, the center of gravity is formed at a position behind the center of the main body 11, and when the flying toy 10 is thrown and flown, the inertia force generated by throwing increases the rear inertia force of the flying toy 10, which causes the flying posture to be unstable.

Therefore, the center of gravity of the flying toy 10 is set at the approximate center of the main body 11 in the front-rear direction, and the adjustment of the position of the center of gravity can be performed by adjusting the thickness of the plastic sheet by increasing the thickness of the plastic sheet in the front body 21 of the main body 11.

In addition to the adjustment using the thickness of the plastic sheet, the center of gravity can be adjusted as follows: a small circular plastic sheet is further attached to the distal end portion 13 so that the plastic sheet of the distal end portion 13 becomes 2 layers, and the peripheral portion of the small circular plastic sheet is welded to the distal end portion 13 of the main body portion 11, thereby forming a closed space, and a small amount of iron sand is enclosed to adjust the center of gravity.

Further, another method for adjusting the center of gravity is: when the main body 11 is formed in a cylindrical shape by expanding air, a resin wire such as a nylon wire passing through the center of the main body 11 is threaded into the front body 21 or the middle body 23 inside the main body 11, and a small metal weight is attached to the resin wire passing through the center axis of the main body 11, whereby the center of gravity of the entire flying toy 10 can be adjusted.

In this way, when iron sand or the like is sealed in the front end portion 13, the center of gravity can be easily moved forward, and if powder such as iron sand is used, even when the flying toy 10 hits an object, the breaking caused by the hit can be reduced.

In addition, if a metal weight is woven in the front body part 21 or the middle body part 23, the center of gravity of the flying toy 10 can be easily adjusted by the small weight, and the metal weight is accommodated in the plastic sheet expanded by air, so that the flying toy 10 can be safely dropped by the buffer action of the plastic sheet even if the flying toy 10 is crashed into an object or the like.

Further, the center of gravity may be provided not only near the center of the body 11 in the longitudinal direction but also in front of the center of the body 11 in the longitudinal direction as long as the center of gravity is provided on the axis of the central axis of the body 11 in the longitudinal direction, and if the center of gravity is near the center and slightly behind the center, the aircraft can fly in a posture in which the tip end 13 is slightly raised, and if the center of gravity is provided in front of the center, the aircraft can fly in a dive posture by the tip end 13.

Further, it is also possible to enjoy flying with a variation in an unstable flying posture without adjusting the position of the center of gravity.

Industrial applicability of the invention

The present invention provides a flying toy 10 which can be thrown indoors or outdoors by injecting air, and can be played safely and with great care.
