Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a toy in which an almost spherical shape matter is floated in air by a blower, the toy in which a condition that nothing is present right under the almost spherical floated matter is produced to represent visual interest. <P>SOLUTION: The toy is structured in such a way that an almost spherical matter is floated in air by tilting a direction of air from a blower against the vertical direction. Thus, a condition that nothing is present right under the almost spherical matter can be produced. The almost spherical matter can be floated and stopped in air by keeping a prescribed relation between the volume and mass of the almost spherical matter and the volume and velocity of air from the blower. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

Description

この発明は略球状の物を空中浮遊させる玩具に関する。The present invention relates to a toy that floats a substantially spherical object in the air.

従来、送風機にて球状の物を空中浮遊する玩具は存在したが、いずれも風の方向は垂直方向に固定された形となっており、視覚的面白さに欠けていた。 Conventionally, there existed toys that floated a spherical object in the air with a blower, but in all cases, the direction of the wind was fixed in the vertical direction and lacked visual interest.

また、空中に浮遊させた球状の物を移動させることもほとんどなく浮遊させる位置を固定された状態だった。 In addition, there was almost no movement of a spherical object suspended in the air, and the floating position was fixed.

送風機にて略球状の物を空中浮遊する玩具は風の方向が垂直方向に固定された形になっているため、単純に下から吹いてくる風に球が浮かされている状態を表現しているだけで面白くない。また、浮遊している物を上下あるいは左右方向に移動させる機構はなく、遊べる自由度が少なかった。 A toy that floats a substantially spherical object in the air with a blower has a shape in which the direction of the wind is fixed in the vertical direction, so it simply represents the state where the ball is floating in the wind blowing from below Just not interesting. Also, there was no mechanism for moving floating objects up and down or left and right, and there was little freedom to play.

本発明の玩具は風の方向を斜めに傾けて、略球状の物を空中に浮遊させるため、その略球状の物の真下には何もない状態を演出でき、視覚的面白さを表現できる。また、風の方向や位置を変更できるような装置をつけ、空中に浮遊している略球状の物を浮いたまま移動させる。 Since the toy of the present invention tilts the wind direction obliquely and floats a substantially spherical object in the air, it can produce a state in which there is nothing directly under the substantially spherical object, and can express visual fun. In addition, a device capable of changing the direction and position of the wind is attached, and a substantially spherical object floating in the air is moved while floating.

この玩具であれば、見ている人がどうして空中浮遊していられるのか理解できず、驚き等の感動を与える事ができる。また、風の方向を変更できる装置によって空中に浮いたまま移動すると言う不思議な感じを作り出せる。 With this toy, it is impossible to understand why the person watching it is floating in the air, and it can give a sense of surprise. In addition, a device that can change the direction of the wind can create a mysterious feeling of moving while floating in the air.

［実施例］
図１に示すように送風機本体１から出る風の方向を垂直方向に対し１０度以上に斜めに吹出させ、略球状の浮遊物２を空中に浮遊させる。送風機本体１から出る風の風速と風量、略球状の浮遊物２の体積と質量等をある一定の関係にすると空中にある程度の振動や回転をともなって停止していられる。また、その関係を更に微調整する事により略球状の浮遊物２を回転させずに停止することも可能である。[Example]
As shown in FIG. 1, the direction of the wind from the blower main body 1 is blown obliquely by 10 degrees or more with respect to the vertical direction, and the substantially spherical floating substance 2 is floated in the air. If the velocity and volume of the wind coming out of the blower body 1 and the volume and mass of the substantially spherical floating substance 2 are in a certain relationship, the air can be stopped with some vibration and rotation in the air. Further, by further finely adjusting the relationship, it is possible to stop the substantially spherical floating substance 2 without rotating it.

本実施例の送風機本体１は駆動モータが直流１２Ｖ、０．４５Ａの仕様で、ファンが約１０００回転（ｒｐｍ）〜５０００回転で駆動する直径約７３ｍｍのシロッコタイプである。また略球状の浮遊物２は直軽約３５ｍｍの発砲スチロールで中空構造となっている。送風機本体１の吹き出し口から先細りの円筒４を取りつけ、吹き出す風の速度を高めることにより略球状の浮遊物を安定的に空中停止できるように調整している。The blower main body 1 of the present embodiment is a sirocco type having a diameter of about 73 mm and driven by a fan at about 1000 rotations (rpm) to 5000 rotations with a drive motor of DC 12V, 0.45A. Moreover, the substantially spherical floating substance 2 has a hollow structure made of foamed polystyrene having a direct lightness of about 35 mm. A tapered cylinder 4 is attached from the outlet of the blower body 1 and the speed of the blown air is increased so that the substantially spherical suspended substance can be stably stopped in the air.

図２は送風機本体１を見せない様にカモフラージュして、見ている人がどうして球状の物が空中浮遊しているか解からないように演出した遊具の実施例断面図である。送風機１を送風機のカモフラージュ用容器３の中に入れ、送風機１から先細り円筒４を介して風を出して略球状の浮遊物２を空中浮遊させる。図３はその斜視図である。この様に送風機本体１を見せない様に演出する事により、見ている人はどうして略球状の浮遊物２が空中に停止しているのか理解できず、不思議にみえるのである。 FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of an embodiment of the play equipment that is camouflaged so as not to show the blower main body 1 so that the person who is watching does not understand why a spherical object is floating in the air. The blower 1 is placed in a camouflage container 3 of the blower, and air is blown out from the blower 1 through the tapered cylinder 4 to float the substantially spherical floating substance 2 in the air. FIG. 3 is a perspective view thereof. By directing the blower body 1 so as not to show in this way, the person who is watching cannot understand why the substantially spherical floating substance 2 is stopped in the air, and it looks strange.

図４は球状の浮遊物を移動させる実施例で、地球のまわりを月が回る玩具である。回転可能な送風機本体８から送風機の風の円筒出口７を介して風を噴出させ、月に見たてた浮遊物６を空中に浮遊させる。その状態において回転可能な送風機本体８を矢印の方向へゆっくりと回転させると月に見たてた浮遊物６はその回転に追従して地球の模型５のまわりを点線の矢印の方向に回る。 FIG. 4 is an embodiment in which a spherical floating object is moved, and is a toy in which the moon rotates around the earth. The wind blows out from the rotatable blower body 8 through the blower wind cylindrical outlet 7 to float the floating object 6 seen in the moon in the air. In this state, when the rotatable blower body 8 is slowly rotated in the direction of the arrow, the suspended matter 6 seen on the moon follows the rotation and rotates around the earth model 5 in the direction of the dotted arrow.
