Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a spinning top toy.
  • a part colliding with the opponent that is, a blade shaped overhanging part is formed on a circumference surface of a body, so that the overhanging part is collided.
  • a body is configured with a plurality of body pieces (divided pieces) laminated in a vertical direction (up and down direction)(see e.g., Patent Document 1).
  • alternative body pieces in which exterior shapes, weights, or materials are different are prepared in advance, and the characteristics of the spinning top toys can change by replacing a body piece in every body piece unit.
  • Patent Document 1 Japanese Utility Model Registered Publication No. 3079269
  • a spinning top toy collides with an opponent by contacting an outermost periphery uneven part. Therefore, when viewing an exterior shape of a body, the characteristics of the spinning top toy largely rely on the shape of the outermost periphery uneven part of the body.
  • each body piece since the body is configured with the body pieces in the laminated structure, each body piece must be thin and fragile in comparison with the body in an integral structure. Therefore, in the case of the aforementioned spinning top toy, in order to make sufficiently durable structure for colliding with the opponent, it is required to laminate a plurality of body pieces, which configure the outermost periphery uneven part of the body, having almost the same exterior shapes. However, it is troublesome to prepare the plurality of body pieces having almost the same exterior shapes in advance.
  • the characteristics of the spinning top toys rely on a weight or a material of the body. It is because when the weight or the material changes, the impact force applying to the opponent or receiving own spinning top toy changes or the rotation characteristics change.
  • each body piece itself is made of a uniform material, and the shape with a balance in a circumferential direction is formed. Therefore, for example, even if a body piece with different weight is replaced, the center of gravity changes only in the vertical direction. In addition, even if a body piece with different material is replaced, the characteristics become uniform in the circumferential direction. That is, regardless of whether any portion of the spinning top toy in the circumferential direction collides with, the shock-absorbing effect becomes uniform.
  • the top surface of the body is the portion where players easily see, but in the case of the aforementioned spinning top toys, the changeful design cannot be enjoyed unless the most upper body pieces are replaced.
  • An object is to provide a spinning top toy which easily perform rearrangement and can enjoy changes in configuration in a horizontal direction.
  • a spinning top toy is provided with a body and a shaft part.
  • the spinning top toy includes a plurality of divided pieces, which configures at least one of the body and the shaft part and is arranged along a surface which is orthogonal to a rotating shaft in a vertically dividing state, and a coupling means, which detachably couples the divided pieces adjacent to each other.
  • the divided pieces can be reassembled with other divided pieces having the coupling means.
  • the plurality of divided pieces constitutes an external appearance of the body and constitutes an outline of the body in a plane view.
  • the third means in the second means, n the divided pieces, an overhanging part which stretches outwardly in a radial direction of the body is formed.
  • the coupling means is provided with a ridge, which is formed in one of the divided pieces adjacent to each other, and a recessed part which is formed in the other one of the divided pieces, and the divided pieces adjacent to each other is coupled by engaging the ridge and the recessed part.
  • the body constitutes two semicircular shaped divided pieces in the plane view, and the ridge and the recessed part are engaged by moving the two divided pieces in an opposite direction each other in a diameter direction.
  • the sixth means in the fifth means, in a state in which the ridge and the recessed part are engaged, a hole is formed between the two divided pieces, and by inserting a stopper into the hole, a coupling state of the two divided pieces is secured.
  • the external appearance of the spinning top toy is easily formed as personal preference, and the characteristics of the spinning top toy can be changed.
  • comparatively uniform divided pieces can be changed as personal preference by rearranging divided pieces which are different configurations in color, pattern, shape, configuration or combinations thereof. A material or a weight is included in the configurations.
  • the external appearance or the characteristic of the spinning top toy can be largely changed.
  • the offensive power can be changed.
  • the coupling means is formed by the ridge and the recessed part, the divided pieces can be easily coupled and detached.
  • the two divided pieces can be easily assembled by sliding in opposite directions each other in the diameter direction.
  • the two divided pieces can be prevented from removing during the spinning.
