Definitions

  • the invention relates to a toy spinning top.
  • the invention has for its object to a toy spinning top create that can be handled as easily as possible.
  • the object is achieved by the features of claim 1.
  • the core consists in a rotatably mounted unbalance drive element in a housing and to provide a rotatably mounted game object. Both are connected by a freewheel connection, so that after movement of the unbalance drive element and its A further movement of the game object takes place.
  • a toy spinning top 1 has a housing base 2 and one transparent housing cover 3 existing housing 4.
  • the case bottom 2 is curved outwards, i.e. convex.
  • shaft 6 is provided, which is opposite the housing bottom 2 in a one-piece with this, centrally arranged Base 7 is attached and fixed.
  • the shaft 6 extends from Housing bottom 2 about half the height of the housing 4.
  • On the Shaft 6 is an unbalance drive element 8 rotatably mounted. Above of which a counter-drive element 9 is rotatably mounted on the shaft 6, that with the unbalance drive element 8 via a planetary gear connection 10 is connected.

  • On the figure carrier 13 are several, in the present Case four, pawns 14 attached.
  • a first free-wheeling connection 15 consisting of a one-piece with the support plate 12 Ring gear 16 and one with the unbalance drive element 8 pivotally connected pawl 17, which with the ring gear 16 in Intervention can be brought.
  • a second free-wheeling connection 18 which a ring gear 19 formed in one piece with the carrier plate 12 and a pawl pivotally connected to the counter-drive element 9 20 is formed, the pawl 20 with the ring gear 19 in engagement is feasible.
  • the freewheel connections 15 and 18 have a common one Rotary drive direction 21, i.e. the game object 11 is always in the direction 21 driven.
  • the unbalance drive element 8 has a radially extending one Arm 22, at one end of which a bore 23 is provided, in the the shaft 6 is received.
  • a bore 23 is provided, in the the shaft 6 is received.
  • an unbalance weight 25 especially from a heavier metal, e.g. Lead, by an am upper edge of the pocket 24 provided latch 26 is attached.
  • a radially inward protruding pin 28 is provided, the middle of a longitudinal slot 29 and has a projecting latching edge 30 at its free end.
  • the pawl 17 is snapped on, so that it is around the pin 28 is pivotable.
  • the pawl 17 has a bore 31 for this purpose receives the pin 28.
  • an upward projecting web 32 is provided, which of a steeply falling flank 33 and a gently sloping flank 34 is limited.
  • On the other Side of the bore 23 are two of the pawl which is flat per se 17 upward and downward projecting stop elements 35 are provided.
  • a recess 36 is provided in the lower region of the wall 27, in which the stop element 35 is pivotable. The recess 36 delimits the pivotability of the pawl 17 between a vertical position the flank 33, on the one hand, and one pivoted about 45 ° to it second position on the other.
  • bore 37 of larger diameter running parallel to bore 23 intended.
  • a vertically extending planet gear shaft 38 mounted, at the upper end of a first planet gear 39 and at the lower end of a second planet gear 40 attached is.
  • the shaft 38 is rotatably supported in the bore 37.
  • a ring gear 41 formed in one piece with this provided, which is in engagement with the gear 40.
  • the moment of inertia of the unbalance drive element 8 is in a particularly preferred embodiment greater than the moment of inertia of the game object 11.
  • the counter-drive element 9 has an arm 42, on one of which End a bearing sleeve 43 is provided with a central bore 44 in the shaft 6 is mounted.
  • a support 45 which extends perpendicularly to the arm 42 and projects downwards provided, at the outer end of which extends radially outward Pin 46 is provided.
  • the structure of the pin 46 corresponds to that Structure of the pin 28.
  • the pawl 20, which is plugged onto the pin 46, corresponds to the construction of the pawl 17.
  • In the carrier 45 is one corresponding recess 36 is provided.
  • the flanks 33 of the pawls 17 and 20 point in the same direction.
  • the lower area of the bearing sleeve 43 is surrounded by a ring gear 47 which engages with the gear 39 is.
  • the pitch circle diameter of the ring gear 41 is in one Example 24 mm.
  • the pitch circle diameter of the gear 40 is in one Example 12 mm.
  • the ratio of the pitch circle diameter of the ring gear 41 to gear 40 is 2: 1.
  • the pitch circle diameter of the Gear ring 47 and the pitch circle diameter of the gear 39 amount in one example 18 mm.
  • the ratio of the pitch circle diameter of Gear 47 to gear 39 is 1: 1.
  • the ring gears 16 and 19 of the carrier plate 12 have teeth 48 which each with a steeply falling flank 49 and a gently sloping one Edge 50 are defined.
  • the edge 49 is with the edge 33 of the pawls 17 or 20 can be brought into engagement.
  • the carrier plate 12 has one in the center projecting above, closed bearing bushing 51, in which the shaft 6 is rotatably mounted. Between the inner upper end 52 of the bearing bush 51 and the upper end 53 of the shaft 6, a ball 54 is arranged, which forms a ball bearing and thus the friction between the carrier plate 12 and the shaft 6 reduced.
  • the figure carrier 13, which follows Tapered at the top, is over provided at its lower end Locking arms 55, which in corresponding locking recesses 56 in the carrier plate 12 engage, fastened.
  • Figure carrier 13 has a central recess 57 into which a from the inside of the Cover 3 engages downward projecting pin 58 and so another Bearing for stabilizing the game object 11 forms.
  • Figure carrier 13 has four radially outwardly projecting support arms 59, which on their free ends each have two projections pointing approximately in the circumferential direction 60 wear.
  • the game figures 14 point at the end of the figure arms 61 openings that can be locked with the projections 60.
  • Corresponding are in the support plate 12 under the feet 62 of the characters 14th Projections 63 provided with corresponding recesses in the Feet 62 can be locked. This way four can be divided into different ones Directions looking game figures 14 on the support plate 12 with the figure carrier 13 connect.
  • annular space 66 In the edge region of the housing base 2 there is an inner wall 64 and an outer wall 65 limited annulus 66 provided according to limited at the top by a corresponding projection 67 in the cover 3 becomes.
  • annular space 66 In the annular space 66 there is an annular intermediate web 68 between the inner wall 64 and the outer wall 65 are provided.
  • balls 69 In the annulus 66 balls 69 are freely rotatable and slidably arranged.
  • the unbalance drive element 8 encounters a player at the roundabout 1 and tilts the roundabout 1 in Fig. 2 left, the unbalance drive element 8 is either in the direction of rotation 21 or against the direction of rotation 21 in Fig. 2 to the left and possibly even the lowest point on the left exceed the movement.
  • the unbalance drive element swivels 8 in the direction of 21, the flank 33 comes Pawl 17 engages the flank 49 of a tooth 48 of the ring gear 16, so that the carrier plate 12 is accelerated in the direction 21.
  • the unbalance drive element 8 becomes the gear 40 unrolled on the ring gear 41, causing the gear 39 in rotations is displaced and in turn the ring gear 47 with the counter-drive element 9 set in a counter-rotating movement.
  • the gear ratios the planet gear connection are chosen so that at a 360 ° rotation of the unbalance drive element 8, the counter-drive element 9 is pivoted through 360 ° in the opposite direction. It the counter-drive element 9 thus pivots against direction 21, so that the freewheel connection 18 to freewheel on.
  • the freewheel connection 15 is switched to freewheel.
  • a simple, uncoordinated push on gyro 1 thus always leads to the game object 11 moving in the direction 21 rotates.
  • Each tilting movement of the housing 4 leads regardless of the direction the tilting movement to accelerate the rotation of the game object 11, so that the gyro 1 is also suitable for small children for whom the Using a conventional gyro would be too complicated.
  • the one in the Annular space 66 arranged balls 69 which can be designed in multiple colors, increase the play value, as this is even with small vibrations move and thus arouse the interest of the game child.
  • Another Advantage of the gyro 1 is that in conventional gyroscopes required external access for applying the rotary movement is missing. In this way, the housing 4 can be closed watertight be so that the top 1 can also be used in the bathtub.
