Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a container for a movable toy and a combination of the container and with such movable toy.
  • the spring mechanism of the movable toy is only wound up when the movable toy is within the hollow container, by actuation of the wind-up means on the outer surface of the container. Once the spring mechanism of the movable toy has been wound up, after a certain period of time, the container opens.
  • the movable toy When the container is open, the movable toy is free to move.
  • the period of time from the action of winding up the spring of the movable toy to the opening of the container may be delimited by minimum and maximum thresholds that are fixed once they are set.
  • the problem of the toy combination as described in the above documents lies in the consequentiality of the steps involved. Particularly, once the spring in the movable toy has been wound up and a predetermined time has elapsed from such winding step, the container is opened and the movable toy comes out. In other words, when a user winds the spring of the movable toy, the container opens within a predetermined time, with a duration that cannot be adjusted as desired.
  • the toy intended as the movable toy-container combination, is only usable when the user operates the spring winding mechanism.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a container for a wind-up movable toy which affords increased usability of the toy and the toy-container combination by its final user.
  • this object is fulfilled by a container for a movable toy as defined in claim 1.
  • a container may be provided which is adapted to contain a movable toy so that, once the spring of the movable toy is wound up and the movable toy is introduced into the container, the container only opens (and hence the movable toy comes out of it) when the user actuates an element, such as a button.
  • the container of the present invention can transfer the potential energy stored in the container to suitable means, to only divide the container when a user actuates a button external to the container, with the toy in the container.
  • a certain period of time, or delay elapses from the actuation of the pusbutton by the user and the opening of the container.
  • numeral 1 designates a combination of a movable toy 2 and a container 3 adapted to contain such movable toy 2 therein, according to the present invention.
  • the movable toy 2 is embodied, for instance, by a movable toy comprising an elastic energy accumulation system, such as a spring.
  • an elastic energy accumulation system such as a spring.
  • this movable toy 2 is designed to walk during the spring unwinding time.
  • the movable toy 2 preferably has anthropomorphic features (i.e. a head, two arms and hands, two legs and a trunk, each formed, for instance, of front and rear polymeric half-shells, generally designated by 2A and 2B), the features being for instance similar to those of the monster known with the trade name of Gormiti (® by Giochi Preziosi).
  • the container 3 is a hollow container comprising at least two portions 3A and 3B.
  • the portions 3A and 3B are preferably formed of corresponding half-shells (i.e. elements of relatively small thickness, defined by a thin outer edge).
  • the container 3 has a unitary state, in which the two portions 3A and 3B are integral with each other. In this state, the two portions 3A and 3B define a cavity therein, which is adapted to contain the movable toy 2 and other inner mechanisms, as further explained below. Nevertheless, the other inner mechanisms are advantageously integral with at least one of the two portions 3A, 3B and the remaining cavity has a size substantially corresponding to that of the toy contained therein.
  • the hollow container 3 preferably has the appearance of a rock.
  • the movable toy 2 comprises:
  • first wind-up means 4 first spring mechanism 5 and first lock means 6 may be easily understood by looking at the attached figures, and will be not described in further detail herein.
  • a further cylindrical element 4E is coupled to the cylindrical element 4C and acts as a shoulder extension of the movable toy 2.
  • Such extension 4E is capable of free clockwise or counterclockwise rotation; when the extension 4E is actuated in the clockwise direction, the first spring mechanism 5 is wound up; radial elements 4F project out of such extension 4E and assist the holding and winding action of the user; the extension 4E has a suitable seat in its free end, which is adapted to ensure a form fit with delay means, as described below;
  • the above mentioned first motion transfer means include a first driving member (the seat 4C) preferably formed in the shoulder extension 4E of the toy 2, which has a non circular, e.g. a star shape, thereby allowing a form-fit with a special driven member 9A (e.g. part of the delay means 9, see below).
  • a first driving member the seat 4C
  • the shoulder extension 4E of the toy 2 which has a non circular, e.g. a star shape, thereby allowing a form-fit with a special driven member 9A (e.g. part of the delay means 9, see below).
  • the user-operable first lock means 6 can stop motion transfer to the driven member 9A (in this example they prevent counterclockwise rotation of the shaft 5A). They may consist of a mechanical switch, such as a slider (the peg 6A), advantageously movable along an axis that, with the toy 2 in its proper orientation, has a horizontal extension.
  • the first lock means 6 are advantageously placed at a shoulder of the toy 2, with the axis of the slider possibly parallel to the forward walking direction of the toy when it is driven by the motion transfer means.
  • these motion transfer means are integral with the wind-up means 4; nevertheless, they may not be coincident therewith if the toy 2 is not spring-operated but, for instance, battery-powered.
  • the hollow container 3 comprises:
  • the separation means 7 include second wind-up means 12 for winding up a spring 13 in the hollow container 3; this spring is wound up as the hollow container moves from said divided state to said unitary state, said separation means 7 being operably connected to said second wind-up means 12 through said delay means 9.
  • the portions 3A, 3B of the hollow container 3 are movable relative to each other.
  • the first actuation means 8 allow a user to actuate an element held within the volume of the container 3 from outside the container 3, and hence to operate through the container 3.
  • the first actuation means 8 advantageously consist of a button, a switch or a lever. Mechanical actuation means are preferable for their simple construction and easy use.
  • the hollow container 3 may further include a driven member 9A (here part of the delay means 9), which can receive energy, preferably as motion, for instance as rotary motion, from a member placed in the inner volume of the container 3 (here the seat 4C, the driving member of the toy 2). Therefore, the driven member 9A projects into the inner volume of the hollow container.
  • a driven member 9A here part of the delay means 9
  • the driven member 9A projects into the inner volume of the hollow container.
  • the driven member 9A is connected to second actuation means for actuating a device within the container.
  • the second actuation means are the delay means 9, which cause the container 3 to open by separating the two portions 3A, 3B.
  • the second actuation means may cause a motion other than that of mutual separation of the portions 3A, 3B: for example, relative rotation thereof may be envisaged.
  • the driven member 9A is connected to delay means 9, which improves the usability of the toy 2, by both allowing a user to choose the time of operation of the first actuation means 8 on the outer surface of the hollow container 3, and allowing delayed opening to be not necessarily dependent on the time of release of the wind-up device by the user.
  • the container 3 includes no wind-up device for the toy 2, which means that no action is required to be made on the container 3 to wind up the motion mechanism in the movable toy 2.
  • the container 3 has no rotary driving member that can be operated from outside and transfer rotary motion into the inner volume of the container 3.
  • portion 3A of the hollow container 3 comprises a subframe 10 associated by fastening means with the inner wall 3A' of the portion 3A
  • portion 3B of the container 3 comprises another subframe 11 associated by fastening means with the inner wall 3B' of the portion 3B.
  • a substantially cylindrical pushing member 10A projects from the subframe 10 with a substantially perpendicular orientation, and has a groove formed thereon that defines an abutment surface perpendicular to the axis of the pushing member 10A.
  • subframe 11 has:
  • the delay means 9 include the driven member 9A which receives motion from the toy 2 and a cam 9E (visible in Figure 5 only).
  • the cam 9E is operably connected to a catch 12, which in turn may include a cylindrical central portion extending along an axis of rotation and two radial projecting elements, one in such a position as to contact the cam 9E during rotation thereof, and the other in such a position as to create a counteracting surface for the abutment surface of the pushing member 10A.
  • the delay means 9 include first, second and third gears 9B, 9C, 9D, in serially meshed relation. Appropriate selection of gear ratios allows adjustment of the time required for the cam 9E to run one complete turn about its axis, and hence of the predetermined delay time T from the operation of the first actuation means 8 (the button) and the actuation of the separation means 7. It shall be noted that the delay time T corresponds to less than one complete turn of the cam 9E.
  • numeral 14 designates a safety button for opening the container 3 when the toy 2 is not inserted in the container 3, with the latter in the unitary state. It comprises a cam 14A which operates against a third radial element of the catch 13, thereby causing a rotation similar to that caused by the cam 9E of the delay means 9, but driven by the user.
  • the user may operate the first actuation means 8, which in turn operate on the first lock means 6 to move them from the locked position to the unlocked position.
  • the energy stored in the toy 2 rotates the driving member, which transfers its rotary motion to the driven member 9A.
  • the delay means 9 will cause the container 3 to remain in its unitary state for a period of time T, which is calculated from the moment in which the user operates the first actuation means 8. At the end of the time T, the separation means will open the container 3, for the latter to move to the divided state.
