Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a rotating toy, more specifically, a combination of a rotating toy concrete and a propeller body, from which the propeller body floats and separates from the rotating toy concrete. Related to toys. 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, tops are well-known as rotating toys and are accepted by many children. However, originally, tops are not simply played by rotating, but are played by playing against other tops. In order to make the match more advantageous, various types of motors having rotation characteristics have been proposed and put to practical use. [0003] However, the top itself rotates independently, and even if it is played by itself as long as it does not play like a competition top to battle other tops. It was not interesting. [0004] The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems, and by rotating the rotary toy, the propeller body held in the rotary toy can be rotated and fly. It is an object of the present invention to provide a revolutionary rotating toy that can be used. [0005] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a rotating toy according to the present invention is characterized by having the following requirements, which comprise a combination of a rotating toy concrete and a propeller body. (B) A flywheel is rotatably arranged inside the rotary toy, and the lower end of the flywheel shaft protrudes downward from the bottom of the rotary toy. (B) The flywheel rotates the rotary toy. The rotating toy can be operated from the outside. (C) A holding portion for holding the shaft of the propeller body is disposed at the center of the upper surface of the rotating toy. A drive mechanism for engaging the lower end of the shaft of the propeller body held by the section to rotate the propeller body, and a control member for controlling whether or not the drive mechanism is operated; The member is formed so as to be movable outward by centrifugal force. When the member moves, the operation of the drive mechanism is allowed, and the propeller body is rotated to float and separate from the rotary toy. ] Figure 1 and 2 and FIG. 2 show a perspective view and an exploded perspective view showing an example of the rotating toy according to the present invention. The rotating toy is composed of a combination of the rotating toy 1 and the propeller body 2, and the rotating toy 1 The slider 5 on which the rack gear 4 is formed is inserted through the opening 3 formed in the side wall of the vehicle, and the slider 5 is pulled out to rotate the flywheel 10 disposed inside to indirectly rotate the rotary toy 1. When the rotating toy 1 is rotated at a high speed, the propeller body 2 held by the holding portion 11 protruding from the upper surface of the toy 1 is rotated to separate from the toy 1 and fly. It is something that has become. The rotating toy concrete 1 has a lower member 13a and an upper member 1
3b, and a cover member 14 superposed on the hollow disk-shaped housing 13 formed of a hollow disk-shaped housing 13 as a whole. The wheel 10 is rotatably arranged. On the lower surface of the flywheel 10, a pinion gear 15 is integrally formed coaxially, and a bearing 17 that fits into a fitting concave portion 16 formed in the lower member 13a, and a fitting concave portion 18 that bulges out in the upper member 13b. And is rotatably supported by the housing 13 with a bearing 19 (see FIG. 3A). The lower portion of the shaft body 20 of the flywheel 10 penetrates the lower member 13a and projects downward.
A resin-made sliding member 21 having a hemispherical tip is attached to the lower end of the, so that the friction with the ground contact surface during rotation can be reduced and the rotation can be continued. An opening 3 through which the slider 5 is inserted is formed in the lower member 13a. The rack gear 4 of the slider 5 inserted through the opening 3 meshes with the pinion gear 15 of the flywheel 10, and the slider 5 is strongly pulled. By doing so, the flywheel 10 can be rotated clockwise at a high speed. When the flyhole 10 rotates at a high speed, the housing 13 itself starts to rotate via the bearings 17 and 19, and the entire rotating toy 1 is rotated at a high speed. It is designed to rotate. On the upper surface of the upper member 13b, there is arranged a control member 27 for controlling whether or not the drive mechanism A described later is operated. The control member 27 is formed on the upper member 13b while the long hole 28 is engaged with a support shaft 25 formed on the upper surface of the upper member 13b so as to be movable in the radial direction on the upper member 13b. It is always urged inward by a spring 32 spanned between the hook 30 and the hook 31 formed on the control member 27 to prevent the operation of a driving mechanism A described later and to prevent centrifugal force during rotation of the rotating toy 1. To move outwardly against the spring 32 to allow the operation of the drive mechanism A. The control member 27 has a leg 27b formed forwardly from both ends of the connecting portion 27a and is formed in a substantially U-shape in plan view. A locking claw 29 is formed to project from the front surface of the connecting portion 27a. The operation of the drive mechanism A is controlled based on whether or not the ratchet gear 42 of the drive mechanism A described later is engaged. The reference numeral 33 indicates that the weight distribution of the rotating toy 1 is controlled only by the control member 27, so that the weight of the rotating toy 1 is maintained by disposing the control member 27 at the target position. The balance member 33 is fixed on the upper member 13b by fitting the support shaft 26 into the fitting hole 34. Further, the control member 27 and the balance member 33 are covered with a cover member 14 fixed to the support shafts 25 and 26 with screws 36, and a circular opening 37 is formed at the center of the cover member 14. Is formed, and a holding unit 11 for holding the propeller body 2 is arranged to protrude from the opening 37 by manually rotating a driving mechanism A described later. The driving mechanism A is, as shown in FIG.
A ratchet gear 42 fixed to the shaft 40 and having a shaft 41 protruding upward, and a rotator positioned above the ratchet gear 42 and arranged coaxially with the shaft 41 and rotating independently of the shaft 41. 43, and a torsion coil spring 45 having a lower end 45a fixed to the ratchet gear 42 and an upper end 45b fixed to the rotating body 43. The ratchet gear 42 is connected to the control member 2 described above.
When the locking claws 29 are engaged, the clockwise rotation is prevented, and when the locking by the locking claws 29 is released, the clockwise rotation is possible. The rotating body 43 is, as shown in FIG.
The upper surface bulges into a cylindrical shape to form a holding portion 11, and the upper portion of the holding portion 11 projects upward from the opening 37 of the cover member 14 described above, and also has a knob function that can be picked and turned by hand. I have. An insertion hole 51 for inserting the shaft body 50 of the propeller body 2 is formed on the upper surface of the holding portion 11,
A bearing portion 52 that supports the shaft body 41 of the ratchet gear 42 is formed inside. Further, the lower surface of the rotating body 43 bulges in a cylindrical shape, and a ratchet 54 is provided around the tip of the bulging portion 53.
A stopper 55 is engaged with the ratchet 54, and the rotation direction is restricted so that the rotating body 43 (the holding portion 11) rotates only clockwise. In the driving mechanism A, when the holding portion 11 is rotated clockwise, the ratchet gear 42 is prevented from rotating clockwise because the locking claw 29 of the control member 27 is engaged with the ratchet gear 42, and the rotating plate 43 is stopped by the stopper 55. , The lower end 45a is connected to the ratchet gear 42.
And the torsion coil spring 45 whose upper end 45 b is fixed to the rotating plate 43 is twisted by the rotation operation of the holding unit 11. And the control member 27 moves outward by centrifugal force,
When the locking of the ratchet gear 42 by the locking claw 29 is released, the ratchet gear 4 is restored by the restoring force of the torsion coil spring 45.
2 (shaft 41) can be vigorously rotated clockwise. Next, an operation mode of the rotating toy having the above configuration will be described. First, the holding portion 11 is picked up and repeatedly rotated so as to wind a screw clockwise. When the holding unit 11 is rotated, the rotating plate 43 also rotates in a clockwise direction synchronously since the rotating plate 43 is also an integral structure. Since the upper end 45b of the torsion coil spring 45 is fixed to the rotating plate 43, the torsion coil spring 45 is also rotated clockwise. However, since the lower end 45a of the torsion coil spring 45 is fixed to the ratchet gear 42, the torsion coil spring 45 It is in a twisted state. Even if the user releases his / her hand from the holding unit 11 in a state where the torsion coil spring 45 is twisted, the ratchet 43 of the rotating plate 43 has the stopper 55
Is twisted, the torsion coil spring 45 cannot be rewound and is kept in a twisted state. When the torsion coil spring 45 is sufficiently twisted by repeatedly rotating the holder 11, the tip of the shaft 50 of the propeller body 2 is inserted through an insertion hole 51 formed on the upper surface of the holder 11, and the shaft The fitting recess 60 is fitted to the shaft 40 protruding from the upper end of the shaft 41, and the ratchet 61 at the tip and the ratchet 62 of the shaft 41 are engaged with each other. In this state, the propeller body 2 is held by the rotating body 43 and the ratchet 61 and the ratchet 62 are engaged with each other.
As a result, the propeller body 2 is rotated. Next, as shown in FIG. 4A, after the slider 5 is sufficiently inserted through the opening 3 formed in the side wall of the rotating toy 1, the slider 5 may be pulled out with vigor. Rack gear 4 of slider 5 is flywheel 1
Since the flywheel 10 meshes with the 0 pinion gear 15, the flywheel 10 is vigorously rotated. In this state, when the rotating toy concrete 1 is grounded, the flywheel 10 is rotated, so that it is set upright on the grounding surface,
Eventually, the rotation of the flywheel 10 is transmitted to the housing 13 via the bearings 17 and 19, and the entire rotating toy 1 starts rotating (see FIG. 4B). When the rotation of the rotary toy 1 starts, the control member 27 tries to move outward by centrifugal force.
2, the control member 27 cannot move until the rotation of the entire rotating toy 1 becomes high speed, and the propeller body 2 rotates while being held by the holding portion 11. It will continue to rotate with the toy concrete 1. When the rotation of the rotary toy 1 increases, the control member 27 gradually starts moving outward against the spring 32, and the ratchet gear 42 by the locking claw 29 is released. . When the ratchet gear 42 is unlocked, the torsion coil spring 45 rewinds at once, but the rotating body 43 cannot be rotated counterclockwise by the stopper 55.
2 will be vigorously rotated clockwise. Since the rotation of the ratchet gear 42 is also the rotation of the shaft body 41, the propeller body 2 meshing with the ratchet 62 formed at the tip of the shaft body 41 is simultaneously rotated, and as shown in FIG. The body 2 can be lifted while rotating, detached from the holding section 11, and fly. Since the rotating direction of the rotating toy concrete and the rotating direction of the propeller body by the driving mechanism are the same direction, the propeller body rotates at the same speed as the rotating toy concrete while being held by the holding portion, and furthermore, the driving mechanism Is permitted, the rotation by the drive mechanism is added, and the propeller body can be rotated at a high speed, and the propeller body can be levitated high. According to the present invention, the rotating toy, specifically, a driving mechanism for rotating the propeller body is arranged, a holding portion for holding the propeller body is provided, and the propeller body is held by the holding portion. When the rotary toy is rotated, the propeller body suddenly rotates at high speed without any operation from the outside, levitates from the rotary toy, and separates from the rotary toy and flies, so the rotary toy rotates alone A fun rotating toy can be realized.
