Abstract

The present invention relates to mobiles whose figurines are displaced in a vertical plane and which constitute early-learning toys for very small children. The device which is the subject of the invention is composed of several hollow transparent balls 1 which are connected together and driven, through the action of a drive mechanism, in a circular movement inscribed in a non-horizontal plane. Each transparent ball 1 contains a figurine 2 including an axis of rotation embodied by two points 3, 4. The distance A existing between the ends of these two points 3, 4 is smaller than the inner diameter B of the transparent ball 1 so as to give rise to the random displacement of each figurine 2. The device which is the subject of the invention may be used as an early-learning toy constituting a mobile which is attractive to very small children.

Description

La présente invention-concerne les mobiles dont les figurines se déplacent selon un plan vertical et qui constituent jouets d'éveil pour le tout petit enfant. The present invention relates to mobiles, the figures of which move in a vertical plane and which constitute early learning toys for the very young child.

Les dispositifs connus de ce genre comportent généralement un mécanisme moteur qui actionne des figurines se déplaçant selon un plan vertical, soit que ces figurines sont animées d'un mouvement circulaire, soit qu'elles sont animées d'un mouvement alternatif. Known devices of this kind generally include a motor mechanism which actuates figurines moving along a vertical plane, either that these figurines are driven in a circular movement, or that they are driven in an alternating movement.

Selon l'état de la technique, la nature des mouvements limités et répétitifs des figurines offre un attrait trop restreint a l'enfant,
Le dispositif, objet de la présente invention, permet d'offrir à itenfant un mouvement varié et très attrayant des figurines qui se déplacent selon une rotation aléatoire.
According to the state of the art, the nature of the limited and repetitive movements of the figurines offers too limited an attraction to the child,
The device, object of the present invention, makes it possible to offer itenfant a varied and very attractive movement of the figurines which move according to a random rotation.

Le dispositif, objet de la présente invention, est constitué pour cela d'une ou plusieurs boules transparentes creuses reliées.à un support rigide animé, par l'action d'un mécanisme moteur, d'un mouvement circulaire inscrit dans un plan non horizontal. Chaque boule transparente contient une figurine comportant un axe de rotation matérialisé par deux pointes. La distance existant entre les extrémités de ces deux pointes est inférieure au diamètre intérieur de la boule transparente. The device, object of the present invention, consists for this of one or more hollow transparent balls connected to a rigid support animated, by the action of a motor mechanism, with a circular movement inscribed in a non-horizontal plane. . Each transparent ball contains a figurine comprising an axis of rotation materialized by two points. The distance between the ends of these two points is less than the inside diameter of the transparent ball.

Lorsque le support est actionné par le mécanisme moteur, chaque boule transparente tourne selon un plan non horizontal et accompli ainsi également à chaque tour une rotation partielle ou-complète sur elle meme dans le plan vertical, ce qui provoque le déplacement aléatoire de chaque figurine tournant suivant son axe dans chaque boule transparente creuse.When the support is actuated by the motor mechanism, each transparent ball rotates in a non-horizontal plane and thus also accomplishes at each turn a partial or complete rotation on itself in the vertical plane, which causes the random displacement of each rotating figurine along its axis in each hollow transparent ball.

Par exemple, et de préférence, lorsque les boules transparentes tournent selon un plan vertical, elles accomplissent à chaque tour une rotation complete sur elles-mêmes dans ce plan vertical.For example, and preferably, when the transparent balls rotate in a vertical plane, they perform a complete rotation on themselves in this vertical plane in each revolution.

Le dispositif consistant en une boule transparente creuse contenant une figurine qui comporte un axe de rotation est déjà connu en soi mais simplement utilisé comme hochet pouvant être manipulé par l'enfant. The device consisting of a transparent hollow ball containing a figurine which has an axis of rotation is already known per se but simply used as a rattle which can be handled by the child.

L'utilisation de ce dispositif comme élément de mobile est non évidente car l'invention se propose de créer un résultat nouveau en combinant de façon originale un mouvement mécanique qui assure à la fois le mouvement circulaire de chaque boule transparente et sa rotation totale ou partielle sur elle-même dans un plan vertical, la rotation sur elle-même de chaque boule transparente dans un plan vertical étant-indispensable aux mouvements aléatoires des figurines tournant selon leurs axes.The use of this device as a mobile element is not obvious because the invention proposes to create a new result by combining in an original way a mechanical movement which ensures both the circular movement of each transparent ball and its total or partial rotation on itself in a vertical plane, the rotation on itself of each transparent ball in a vertical plane being-essential to the random movements of the figurines rotating along their axes.

Les dessins annexés illustrent en détail le fonctionnement du dispositif:
- La figure I est une vue en élévation du dispositif réalisé selon l'invention.
The attached drawings illustrate in detail the operation of the device:
- Figure I is an elevational view of the device produced according to the invention.

- La figure 2 en est une vue en coupe selon A-A (fig.l). - Figure 2 is a sectional view along A-A (fig.l).

Selon la figure 1, le mobile est constitué d'une plaque centrale 1 constituant support rigide et reliant les boules transparentes creuses 2 contenant chacune une figurine 3. La plaque centrale 1 tourne sur ellemême sous l'action d'un mécanisme moteur et entraine les boules transparentes 2 dans un mouvement circulaire inscrit dans un plan vertical. According to FIG. 1, the mobile consists of a central plate 1 constituting a rigid support and connecting the hollow transparent balls 2 each containing a figurine 3. The central plate 1 rotates on itself under the action of a motor mechanism and drives the transparent balls 2 in a circular motion inscribed in a vertical plane.

Selon la figure 2, les boules transparentes 2 sont reliées à la plaque centrale 1 à l'aide des ergots 4 solidaires des boules transparentes 2 et collés à l'intérieur des logements cylindriques 5 prévus dans la plaque centrale 1. Chaque boule transparente 2 contient une figurine 3 comportant un axe de rotation matérialisé par les deux pointes 6, 7. According to Figure 2, the transparent balls 2 are connected to the central plate 1 using lugs 4 integral with the transparent balls 2 and glued inside the cylindrical housings 5 provided in the central plate 1. Each transparent ball 2 contains a figurine 3 comprising an axis of rotation materialized by the two points 6, 7.

La distance A existant entre les extrémités de ces deux pointes 6, 7 est inférieure au diamètre intérieur B de la boule transparente 2. Le boîtier 8 contient un mécanisme moteur, non représenté sur le dessin, qui entraine la rotation d'une tige centrale 9 à l'intérieur du palier 10 solidaire du horizontal boîtier 8. La tige centrale 9 est disposée selon un axeX-X' et elle est reliée à la plaque centrale 1 par une liaison mécanique rigide. Le boîtier 8 comporte une partie filetée il sur laquelle s'engage un élément de serrage 12 établissant par vissage une zone de fixation 13 du jouet aux barreaux du lit ou parc de l'enfant.The distance A existing between the ends of these two points 6, 7 is less than the internal diameter B of the transparent ball 2. The housing 8 contains a motor mechanism, not shown in the drawing, which causes the rotation of a central rod 9 inside the bearing 10 integral with the horizontal housing 8. The central rod 9 is arranged along an axis XX 'and it is connected to the central plate 1 by a rigid mechanical connection. The housing 8 has a threaded portion 11 on which a clamping element 12 engages by screwing a zone 13 for fixing the toy to the bars of the child's bed or playpen.

Le dispositif, objet de l'invention, peut être utilisé comme jouet d'éveil constituant un mobile attrayant pour le tout petit enfant.  The device, object of the invention, can be used as an awakening toy constituting an attractive mobile for the very small child.
