Description

Rolling Toy

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a toy rolling, of the type of those comprising a heavy ball, generally metallic, housed in the inner cavity of a body main that is dragged by the ball when driven manually the toy on a surface.

Background of the invention

There are currently various market Rolling toys that have a main body with an internal cavity for partial accommodation and with possibility free spin, a ball of heavy material, and a mouth lower diameter smaller than the ball, which stands out partially said ball to establish contact with the ground or any other surface. This way, when the toy is manually driven the inertia force of the ball causes the drag of the main body, which is made of a material lighter, for example plastic.

An antecedent of this type of toy is is described in utility model 288902, referring to a rolling doll, comprising a cylindrical integral body, which It has an interior, hollow housing, receiver of a ball steel protruding slightly outside to contact promptly with the support surface of the doll.

In this type of rolling toys, as in the described in utility model 288902, occur between the ball and the main body frictions that cause the imbalance and nodding of the main body, which determines that the body main contact a peripheral portion of the base against the support surface, causing additional friction or friction and reducing the ability to move the doll.

Generally these rolling toys are about small dimensions, which makes them objects collectibles, being necessary for differentiation the use of main bodies in different ways, which the investment in molds and the final cost of the toy.

Description of the invention

The rolling toy of this invention features constructive particularities oriented to minimize the bearing forces antagonistic to toy displacement rolling, to significantly reduce investment in molds and to define an additional cavity for the positioning and protection of a label or identification sticker that allows the differentiation of the different toys despite having main bodies of the same configuration and equal forms.

According to the invention the main body of the toy comprises an upper cover and a lower part, of tubular configuration, provided with an upper mouth and which prolongs inferiorly on an annular surface that delimits a lower mouth of smaller diameter, presenting said surface cancel a perimeter thickening, which protrudes slightly towards  towards the lower zone, destined to establish a punctual contact with the support surface of the rolling toy during its displacement.

Said lower part has internally some radial fins extending vertically from the surface annular bottom to an area slightly away from the end or upper mouth of said lower part, forming the end upper of said radial fins an area for support and / or cover coupling.

The aforementioned radial fins delimit the ball receiving cavity, ensuring that the ball can establish timely contact, simultaneously and at most, with two of the radial fins.

The top cover has a surface flat top, of a thickness less than the height defined between the upper ends of radial fins and lower body, so that in the mounting position, the cover is arranged slightly penetrated with respect to the upper end of the body bottom defining a housing or recess for the positioning of a protected identification tag or sticker of impacts and chafing.

According to the invention, the lid has inferiorly a perimeter skirt for its coupling adjusted in the upper mouth of the lower body. Said perimeter skirt it presents laterally a set of inlets coinciding in number and distribution with the radial fins of the lower body, for receiving inside the upper ends of said radial fins.

The cover is fixed to the lower body by Conventional techniques of gluing, snapping or heat welded

The lower body of the main body presents a slightly conical configuration, divergent towards the upper zone, to facilitate its manufacturing by molding material plastic and its subsequent unmolding.

Description of the figures

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to facilitate the understanding of characteristics of the invention, is attached herein descriptive a set of drawings in which, with character Illustrative and not limiting, the following has been represented:

- Figure 1 shows a perspective view top of an exemplary embodiment of the rolling toy.

- Figure 2 shows a perspective view Rolling toy bottom with lid and tag Identified disassembled.

- Figure 3 shows a disassembled view of the main body in which the lower body can be observed in upper floor and the lower floor cover.

- Figure 4 shows an elevation view of the rolling toy sectioned by a vertical plane and in which they have represented the cover and the identification tag removed.

- Figure 5 shows an elevation view of the fully assembled rolling toy, sectioned by a plane vertical and in contact with a support surface.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

As can be seen in the attached figures the rolling toy comprises a heavy ball (1) of housed steel in the inner cavity of a main body formed by a lower body (2) and a cover (3).

The lower body (2), configuration tubular, specifically slightly inverted trunk, presents an upper mouth (21) for coupling the cover (3) and extends at its lower end on an annular surface (22) that delimits a lower mouth (23) of smaller diameter, presenting said annular surface (22) a perimetric thickening (24) that establishes a timely contact with a support surface during Toy utilization

The lower body (2) presents internally radial fins (25), specifically four in the example shown, extending vertically from the annular surface (22) to an area near the upper mouth (21) of the body lower (2).

The cover (3) has an upper surface (31) flat that extends to the lower area in a skirt perimeter (32) provided laterally with deep recesses (33), coinciding in number and distribution with radial fins (25) of the lower body (2).

In the mounting position, and as shown in figure 5, the cover (3) is accommodated tightly in the mouth upper (21) of the lower body (2), resting on the end upper of the radial fins (25) that are partially housed in the recesses (33) of the cover (3).

As can be seen in the mentioned figure 5, the upper surface (31) of the cover (3) has a thickness slightly lower than the height between the end upper radial fins (25) and mouth (21) or end upper body lower (2), so what, in the position of coupling, said cover is slightly recessed with respect to the upper end of the lower body (2), defining a housing or recessed for the positioning of an identification tag (4), which is entered with respect to the general surface exterior of the main body of the toy and protected from possible damage due to impacts or chafing.

The cover (3) is fixed to the body bottom (2) by conventional bonding techniques, fit pressure, or heat welded.

Once nature is sufficiently described of the invention, as well as a preferred embodiment, for the appropriate purposes that the materials, form, size and arrangement of the elements described may be modified, as long as this does not imply an alteration of the essential features of the invention claimed in continuation.
