Abstract

The toy has a sound-emitting body 2 and a sound-generating impact body 3. The sound-emitting body is constructed so as to swivel freely with the impact body in a hollow body 1 which can be held in the hand. Due to the special arrangement, the sounds generated are not muffled when the toy is held in the hand. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Spielzeug nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to a toy according to the preamble of claim 1.

Beispielsweise ist ein glockenförmiges Spielzeug bekannt, das eine äußere tonerzeugende Glocke und einen in dieser frei schwingend aufgehängten Schlagkörper aufweist. Es sind auch sog. Schellen bekannt, die einen Klangkörper in Form einer geschlitzten Hohlkugel aufweisen, in der der Schlagkörper frei beweglich angeordnet ist. Derartige Glocken oder Schellen erzeugen normalerweise nur einen bestimmten Ton.For example, a bell-shaped toy is known which has an outer sound-generating bell and a striking body which is suspended freely swinging in it. So-called clamps are also known which have a sound body in the form of a slotted hollow ball in which the striking body is arranged to move freely. Such bells or bells usually only produce a certain tone.

Der Erfindung liegt nun die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Spielzeug der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, das beim Bewegen zum Erzeugen der Töne in der Hand gehalten werden kann, ohne daß die Töne hierbei nennenswert gedämpft werden.The invention is based on the object of providing a toy of the type mentioned at the outset which can be held in the hand when moving to produce the tones without the tones being dampened appreciably.

Diese Aufgabe wird grundsätzlich durch das Kennzeichen des Patentanspruches 1 gelöst.This object is basically achieved by the characterizing part of patent claim 1.

Dadurch, daß der Klangkörper frei schwingend oder frei beweglich in einem Hohlkörper, vorzugsweise einer Hohlkugel angeordnet ist, werden die durch den Schlagkörper, der wiederum lose in dem Klangkörper angeordnet sein kann, . erzeugten Töne nicht gedämpft.Characterized in that the sound body is arranged swinging or freely movable in a hollow body, preferably a hollow ball, the impact body, which in turn can be arranged loosely in the sound body,. generated sounds are not muffled.

Die Person, die mit dem Spielzeug spielt, kann diesen in der Hand fortwährend bewegen und dabei entsprechend der Bewegung Töne erzeugen. Durch das Bewegen in der Hand werden diese Töne nicht gedämpft, da der Klangkörper nach wie vor frei schwingen kann. Durch die Ausbildung als Hohlkugel ist das Spielzeug angenehm in der Hand zu halten, so daß der Spieltrieb erhöht wird.The person who plays with the toy can keep moving it in the hand and generate sounds according to the movement. These tones are not dampened by moving them in your hand, as the sound body can still vibrate freely. Due to the training as a hollow ball, the toy is comfortable to hold in the hand, so that the play instinct is increased.

In vorteilhafter Weise kann das Spielzeug so ausgebildet sein, wie in den Ansprüchen 3 und 4 angegeben.The toy can advantageously be designed as specified in claims 3 and 4.

Der Klangkörper weist verschiedene Vorsprünge auf,, von denen jeder für sich bei Erregung durch den Schlagkörper.einen unterschiedlichen Ton erzeugt. Hierdurch entsteht eine sehr interessante Musik, die auch als "Sphärenmusik" bezeichnet werden kann.The sound body has different projections, each of which produces a different tone when excited by the impact body. This creates a very interesting music, which can also be called "sphere music".

Es ist leicht einzusehen, daß die Erfindung nicht auf die Form einer Kugel beschränkt ist, sondern daß auch andere Formen denkbar sind, die sich gut und angenehm in der Hand bewegen und handhaben lassen.It is easy to see that the invention is not limited to the shape of a sphere, but that other shapes are also conceivable that can be moved and handled well and comfortably in the hand.

Im folgenden wird die Erfindung unter Hinweis auf die Zeichnung anhand eines Ausführungsbeispieles näher erläutert:

  • In der Zeichnung ist eine Ausführungsform eines Spielzeuges in einem Teilschnitt dargestellt.
The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing using an exemplary embodiment:
  • In the drawing, an embodiment of a toy is shown in a partial section.

In einem äußeren Hohlkörper, der als Hohlkugel 1 ausgebildet ist, sind zwei halbkugelförmige Schalen 2 angeordnet, die den Klangkörper bilden. Von den halbkugelförmigen Schalen 2 ist nur eine dargestellt. Jede halbkugelförmige Schale weist eine Anzahl von Vorsprüngen 4 auf, die durch Schlitze 5 voneinander getrennt sind. Da die Vorsprünge unterschiedlich lang sind, erzeugen sie bei Berührung durch den Schlagkörper 3 unterschiedliche Töne. Der Schlagkörper 3 ist frei beweglich im Inneren der beiden halbkugelförmigen Schalen angeordnet.In an outer hollow body, which is designed as a hollow ball 1, two hemispherical shells 2 are arranged, which form the sound body. Only one of the hemispherical shells 2 is shown. Each hemispherical shell has a number of projections 4 which are separated from one another by slots 5. Since the projections are of different lengths, they produce 3 different tones when touched by the impact body. The striking body 3 is arranged to move freely inside the two hemispherical shells.

Die halbkugelförmigen Schalen sind so geformt und ausgebildet, daß die erzeugten Töne nicht nennenswert gedämpft werden, wenn die Hohlkugel 1 in der Hand gehalten und bewegt wird.The hemispherical shells are shaped and designed so that the tones produced are not significantly dampened when the hollow sphere 1 is held and moved in the hand.
