In the toy eyeball device described in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 54-29910, a driving body is mounted in a main body having an open front so as to be vertically rotatable. An engagement projection is formed on the upper part of the driving body, and a weight is attached to the lower part of the driving body.

Further, an eyeball supported at a position in front of the driving body is rotatably disposed in the main body. An eyeball display portion is formed in front of the eyeball, and a locking projection engaged with the engagement projection of the driver is formed behind the eyeball. .

When the main body is turned upward from a state where the opening of the main body is oriented horizontally, the driving body is turned, and the engaging projection of the driving body is engaged with the locking projection of the eyeball. The piece is pressed downward. As a result, the eyeball rotates upward with respect to the main body, and the eyeball display portion of the eyeball is displayed in the opening of the main body, so that the eyes are opened.

Then, when the main body is turned downward from this state, the driving body rotates, and the pressing of the engaging projection of the eyeball by the engagement projection of the driving body is released. As a result, the eyeball rotates downward by its own weight, and the eyeball display portion of the eyeball comes off the opening of the main body, so that the eyes are closed.

[0007]

However, in the toy eyeball device described in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 54-29910, when the main body is turned in the lateral direction, the eyeball does not turn. The eyeball display of the eyeball does not rotate. For this reason, when this toy eyeball device is used for toys of animals such as dogs, animals such as dogs generally rest with their faces turned sideways, which lacks realism, and is interesting to players. It has the problem of chipping.

[0008] The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to provide an eyeball device for a toy that can be played with fun.

[0009]

Is pressed to rotate the eyeball downward. When the main body is returned to the initial state from this state, the pressing of the pressing body against the inclined portion of the eyeball is released, and the eyeball rotates upward. For this reason, with a simple configuration, the eyeball display unit of the eyeball moves with respect to the opening of the main body when the main body rolls over and the eyes open and close, thereby facilitating manufacture.

When the main body is slightly turned over from the state where the opening of the main body is oriented horizontally and the eyeball display portion of the eyeball faces the opening of the main body, the pair of inclined portions are in the horizontal direction. Since the projection protrudes in the radial direction, the pressing force of the driving body on the eyeball is reduced, and the eyeball is slightly rotated downward. As a result, the eyes are in a half-open state, and can be played more interestingly.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a toy eyeball device according to the third aspect, wherein the driving body is formed in front of the driving body and extends in a vertical direction which is a rotation direction of the eyeball. And a pushing projection that projects and pushes one of the pair of inclined portions of the eyeball when the main body rolls over, and rotates the eyeball downward. It is.

In this configuration, when the opening of the main body is oriented horizontally and the eyeball display section of the eyeball faces the opening of the main body, and the main body is turned over, the pushing projection of the driving body causes the eyeball to move. One of the pair of inclined portions of the body is pressed to rotate the eyeball downward. Therefore, when the main body rolls over, the pressing protrusion of the pressing body more reliably presses one of the pair of inclined portions of the eyeball, so that the rotation sensitivity of the eyeball when the main body rolls over is improved.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, there is provided an eyeball device for a toy according to any one of the first to fourth aspects.

Next, the operation of the embodiment will be described.

When the opening 6 of the case body 5 is oriented horizontally,
Due to the weight of the weight 35 of the eyeball 31, the eyeball display section of the eyeball 31
32 is exposed to the position of the opening 6 of the case body 5, and the eyes are opened.

From this state, the opening 6 of the case body 5 is turned upward. As a result, due to the weight of the weight 35 of the eyeball 31, the eyeball 31 rotates downward with respect to the opening 6 of the case body 5, and the eyeball display part 32 of the eyeball 31 moves to the case body. 5 is moved downward from the opening 6 and the eyes are closed.

Further, when returning from this state to the initial state, the weight of the weight 35 of the eyeball 31 causes the eyeball 31 to rotate upward, and the eyeball display section 32 of the eyeball 31 to rotate upward. Moves toward the opening 6 of the case body 5 to face the position of the opening 6, and the eyes are opened.

Further, with the opening 6 of the case body 5 oriented horizontally and the eyeball display section 32 of the eyeball 31 facing the position of the opening 6 of the case body 5, the case body 5 is moved in the horizontal direction. Roll over to either one. As a result, as the case body 5 rolls over, the pushing body 42 swings in the rollover direction of the case body 5 due to its own weight.

At this time, the pushing protrusion 44 of the pushing body 42 is formed by a pair of inclined portions of the eyeball 31 located on the side of the case body 5 in the roll direction.
Press any one of 38a. As a result, the pressing of the pressing member 42 against the inclined portion 38a by the pressing protrusion 44 causes the eyeball 31 to move.
Is rotated downward, and the eyeball display unit 32 of the eyeball 31 is rotated.

When the case body 5 is returned to the initial state from this state, the pushing body 42 also swings to the initial state. Therefore, the pressing of the pushing protrusion 44 of the pushing body 42 on the one inclined portion 38a of the eyeball 31 is unlocked, and the eyeball 31 rotates upward, and the eyeball of this eyeball 31 The display unit 32 is the case 5
Is moved toward the opening 6, and is brought to the position of the opening 6, so that the eyes are opened.

As described above, according to the one embodiment, the weight 35 is attached below the eyeball 31 so that
Since the eyeball display unit 32 of the eyeball 31 can face the opening 6 with the opening 6 of the case body 5 oriented horizontally, the eyes can be opened.

Further, when the opening 6 of the case body 5 is turned sideways or turned in a direction other than a substantially vertical downward direction from a state where the opening 6 of the case body 5 is oriented horizontally, the weight 35 of the eyeball 31 is formed. The inclined portion 38 of the eyeball 31 due to its own weight and the swing of the pusher 42
By pressing on the a and 38b, the eyeball display part 32 of the eyeball 31 moves downward from the position of the opening 6 of the case body 5, so that the eyes can be closed.

When the case 5 is returned to the initial state, the weight 35 of the eyeball 31 and the weight of the pusher 42 cause the eyeball display 32 of the eyeball 31 to move to the position of the opening 6 of the case 5. You can make your eyes open.

As a result, the eyes are closed by turning the case body 5 in a direction other than the substantially vertical downward direction, and the eyes are opened by returning the direction of the case body 5 to the initial state. Since it can be improved and the fun as a toy can be further improved, it is possible to play fun.

For this reason, in particular, when the toy eyeball device 1 is used as a toy for an animal such as a dog, the animal such as a dog generally rests with his or her face sideways, so that a more realistic toy can be provided.

Further, by forming a pair of inclined portions 38a and 38b on the eyeball 31 and forming the pushing projection 44 on the pushing body 42, the pushing projection 44 is moved when the case body 5 rolls over. body
When one of the inclined portions 38a, 38b of the eye 31 is pressed, the eyeball display portion 32 of the eyeball 31 moves downward from the position of the opening 6 of the case body 5 to close the eyes. Become. For this reason, the eyes can be easily opened and closed when the case body 5 rolls over with a simple configuration, so that manufacturing can be facilitated.

Further, when the case body 5 rolls over,
When the pushing projection 44 of 42 presses one of the pair of inclined portions 38a and 38b of the eyeball 31, the eyeball display portion 32 of the eyeball 31 is positioned below the position of the opening 6 of the case body 5. And the eyes are closed. As a result, the pusher
Compared to the case where the pushing protrusion 44 is not formed on the case 42, the rotation sensitivity of the eyeball 31 when the case body 5 rolls over can be improved.

Since the gap 39 is formed between the pair of inclined portions 38a and 38b, the gap 39 and the pushing projection 44 of the pushing body 42 are kept in a state where the opening 6 of the case body 5 is oriented horizontally. Does not contact. Therefore, if the case body 5 is slightly turned over, the pushing projection 44 does not press the inclined portions 38a and 38b, so that the eyes cannot be closed. Therefore, since the reality as an eyeball can be improved, it is possible to play more interestingly.

Further, when the opening 6 of the case body 5 is slightly turned over, the pressing of the pressing body 42 acts substantially in proportion to the eyeball 31 by the pair of inclined portions 38a and 38b. As a result, the eyeball 31 is turned slightly downward, so that the eyes are in a half-opened state, and it is possible to play more interestingly.

Further, the concave grooves 19a, 19b of the front case 11
And the recesses 27a, 27b formed by the support pieces 28a, 28b of the rear case portion 12 for closing the concave grooves 19a, 19b.
Since the convex portions 36a and 36b of the 31 are provided, the configuration for arranging the eyeball 31 in the case body 5 so as to be rotatable in the vertical direction can be simplified, and the manufacturing can be further facilitated.

Then, a peripheral surface portion is provided on the lower end side behind the pressing body 42.
With the formation of the 45, the rotation of the eyeball 31 when the case body 5 rolls over causes the weight holding piece 34 of the eyeball 31 to push the body.
Since the contact is made, that is, the contact is made, the rotation angle of the eyeball 31 can be regulated to an appropriate angle. For this reason, opening and closing of eyes can be performed more smoothly.

Further, since the pusher 42 is swung by the pin 41 in the direction orthogonal to the direction in which the eyeball 31 rotates, the pressing force of the pusher 42 can be more easily applied to the rotation of the eyeball 31. Can communicate. For this reason, the eyes can be more smoothly opened and closed by the rollover of the case body 5, and the configuration can be simplified, so that the manufacturing can be further facilitated.

In the embodiment, the case 5
By turning the case body 5 in a direction other than substantially vertically downward from the state in which the opening 6 is oriented horizontally, the eyeball display unit 32 of the eyeball 31 rotates downward. ,
Although the configuration for closing the eyes has been described, the present invention is not limited to such a configuration. I just need.
