Abstract

Propeller set (1) comprising a series of blades (5) attached to a common shaft (2), characterized in that said shaft (2) is mounted on said blades (5) so that it can tilt relative to the themselves from a position substantially in the plane of the blades (5) to a position substantially perpendicular to said plane.

Description

Game propeller.

The present invention relates to a set of propeller whose new features provide numerous advantages, as will be detailed herein.

A propeller of the type to which the invention basically comprises blades, normally manufactured in plastic or other appropriate similar material, and one common axis to through which said blades are rotated so that the propeller fly away The blades are attached to said axis and they define a plane substantially perpendicular to it.

The arrangement of the axis perpendicular to the plane of the propellers has the disadvantage that it occupies a lot space, especially in cases where the axis has a considerable length This inconvenience is especially annoying. when the propeller game is intended as a gift or prize in food products, for example pastries and the like, and in general in locations of little space available to host the game.

The invention proposes a solution for folding  of the propeller set, so that the axis tilts with respect to the shovels in order to occupy a minimum space in the position creased.

To do this, the propeller shaft is mounted on the shovels tiltingly with respect to them. Shaft rotation allows to define a position in which it is substantially coplanar to said blades and a position in which it remains substantially perpendicular to the plane of the blades of the propeller.

In particular, the aforementioned blades are joined by  its inner ends to a central body. This central body It is provided with a groove inside which the shaft end through first highlights. These highlights they are formed in the vicinity of the shaft end where it attach to the central body and protrude out of the shaft perpendicular to it. These first highlights are joined to the inside of said groove. The slot also has a  extreme mouthpiece intended to receive a few second highlights that protrude out of the axis to define the position in which it is substantially in the plane of said blades. The central body has two lower pins equipped with respective cavities adapted to receive said seconds highlights to define the position in which the axis is substantially perpendicular to the plane of said blades.

Preferably, an outer ring is arranged in whose inner perimeter the outer ends of those shovels. The central body can be provided with a cover articulated upper covering the central body as well as the end From the axis.

The features and advantages of the game Propeller object of the present invention will be clearer to from the detailed description of a preferred embodiment of the same. This description will be given, from now on, by way of non-limiting example, with reference to the drawings that are attached.

In these drawings:

Figure 1 is a plan view of a realization of a propeller set according to the invention in folded position;

Figure 2 is a perspective view of the propeller set of the invention arranged in a pitcher; Y

Figure 3 is a perspective view of another embodiment of a propeller set according to the invention in deployed position.

The attached drawings illustrate a propeller set (1) comprising an axis (2) whose end is pivotally mounted to a central body (3). This body center (3) is attached to the inner ends (4) of the blades (5) of the propeller. The fact that the shaft (2) of the propeller (1) can tilt with respect to the blades (5) allows to define a position (figure 1) in which said axis (2) is substantially in the same plane of the blades (5), folding position, and a position (figure 3) in which the axis (2) is substantially perpendicular to the plane of the blades (5) of the propeller (1), position of operation.

The central body (3) is provided with a groove (6) inside which the shaft end (2) is articulated to through first highlights (7) formed in the vicinity thereof and protruding out of the shaft (2) perpendicular to it. The first highlights (7) are joined to the inside of the groove (6) of the central body (3) of the propeller (1). Said groove (6) also has a mouth extreme (8) where a few second projections are coupled (9) (see Figure 1) which protrude out of the shaft (2) to define the position in which it is substantially in the plane of the blades (5).

The central body has pins lower (not shown) equipped with respective cavities adapted to receive the second projections (9) of the axis (2) through which it defines the position in which it remains substantially perpendicular to the plane of the blades (5).

As Figure 3 shows, it can be arranged  an outer ring (10) in whose inner perimeter the outer ends of the blades (5). On the other hand, as is see in figure 1 of the drawings, central body (3) can be provided with an upper cover (11) articulated thereto for cover the central body (3) and the shaft end (2).

Figure 2 shows the propeller of the Figure 3 mounted on, a launcher (12). The user holds with a hand the handle (13) of the pitcher (12) thanks to the projections radial (14) that are arranged therein. With the other hand, place the shaft (2) of the propeller (1) in a housing formed in the head (15) of said handle (13). Previously, a shooter is introduced (16) in the pitcher (12), perpendicular to the handle (13), such as can be seen in figure 2, by entering another through housing of the head (15) of the pitcher (12). In this point, the user only has to pull with one hand the end of the shooter (16) forcing the propeller (1) to turn on itself same around the geometric axis of the axis (2), leaving parting and starting his flight.

Described sufficiently in what consists the propeller set of the present invention in correspondence with the attached drawings, it will be understood that any modification of detail deemed convenient may be introduced therein, provided that the essential characteristics of the invention summarized in the following claims are not
altered

Claims (4)
