Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for forming a support which fixes a pedestal and a shape without spoiling the atmosphere of a design, in order to make a natural representation of an airplane, a bird or an insect in the air and fish or a mammal in the water as a moving shape placed on the pedestal, and a method for driving the shape. <P>SOLUTION: In this floating shape representation device, the shape is moved by changing a magnetic field on the pedestal with the help of a magnet attached to a rotor inside the pedestal and thereby, causing the attracting/repulsing actions of a magnet located at a point of application of the shape. Consequently, since wiring, a motion transfer mechanism and the like are not used, the shape can be fixed using a transparent support or a fine wire as a part of the design and thus the free design of the shape in the air and the water can be achieved. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

Description

  The present invention generally supports supporting a pedestal and a shaped object in order to represent an aerial plane, a bird, an insect, an underwater fish, an underwater mammal or the like as a moving shaped object placed on the pedestal. The present invention relates to a tool forming method and a model driving method.

  Conventionally, a method of placing a model on a pedestal with a transparent resin part or a glass supporter in the air, an airplane, a bird, an insect, an underwater fish, an underwater mammal, etc. has been widely used. Also, when driving objects such as airplanes, birds, insects and fish on the pedestal, underwater mammals, put a power device such as a motor and batteries or springs in the body of the object, or place a battery box in the pedestal. The method of moving by providing a motor in the main body of a model was widely used.

Therefore, there were the following problems.
When a power device such as a motor and a battery is incorporated in the main body of the modeled object, the battery cannot be replaced unless the modeled object itself is spread, and the modeled object may be broken at that time.

  In addition, when a motor, a battery, a spring, etc. are put in a modeled object, it becomes large, so it is not suitable for a small model. Furthermore, when a power device such as an electric motor or a mainspring is incorporated, the power switch and means for winding the mainspring are attached to the molded article, which may damage the appearance.

When the battery box is placed in the pedestal, the appearance of the model is impaired by passing the wiring through the fixed support of the transparent model. Also, if it is not a transparent support that allows the wiring to pass through, it is not possible for objects that float in the air, such as birds, to appear as if they are flying, or cannot be expressed as floating in water. It was a problem.
The present invention is intended to solve the above problems.

  Using the magnet's attractive and repulsive force to move the model, place a rotatable magnet inside the pedestal, and attach the magnet to the place where the model moves. Move by magnetic force.

  Further, by using the strong magnetic force, the distance between the pedestal and the modeled object can be increased, and no motion transmission mechanism, wiring, or the like exists between the pedestal and the modeled object.

And fixing the pedestal and the modeled object is only a thin wire or transparent resin that is not conspicuous in terms of design.
This is a floating object expression apparatus characterized by the above.

Since the present invention does not have a power unit in the model, there is no wiring or movement mechanism link, and the model, such as an airplane, bird, insect, underwater, fish, or mammal underwater, is supported by a thin wire or transparent It can be fixed on the pedestal only with tools. Therefore, the degree of freedom of design is high, and it is possible to construct a movable shaped article that flies in the sky or a movable shaped article in water without impairing the design atmosphere.
Further, by fixing the modeled object, a reliable movement can be transmitted by magnetic force, and there is no unstable movement like a modeled object floating in water.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below.
(A) The magnet A (4) is attached to the rotor (2) in the pedestal (1) so that the outer side becomes the S pole, and the magnet B (5) is attached so that the outer side becomes the N pole. The rotor (2) is provided with a handle (3) outside the pedestal so that the rotor (2) can be rotated. On the pedestal (1), the shaped object A (7) is fixed with a transparent support (6), and the shaped object B (11) as a design background is arranged.
(B) The actuator (8) is provided from the fulcrum (10) to the modeled object A (7), and a magnet having magnetic poles at the top and bottom is attached to the action point (9).
(C) When the handle (3) is turned, the actuator (8) of the model A (7) has the fulcrum (10) as the rotation axis and the magnetic pole of the rotor (2) acts on the operating point ( When the magnetic pole is different from the magnetic pole of 9), it is swung downward by magnetic absorption, and when the magnetic pole of the rotor (2) is the same as the magnetic pole of the action point (9), it is swung upward by repulsion.
(D) In FIG. 2, when the handle (3) is turned with a modeled object C (12) made of a thin wire and fixed on the pedestal by the support tool B (17), the model is formed by changing the magnetic field on the pedestal. The propeller (14) of the object C (12) is rotated by the magnet C (15) and the magnet D (16) provided at the tip due to magnetic absorption and repulsion. The model D (13) can be provided with a design such as a cloud that expresses the air.
(E) And since the modeled object on the pedestal (1) can drive the movable part without contact, the support tool (A) and the support tool (B) should be made of transparent resin or thin wire. It is possible to provide various background shaped objects between and after the pedestal and the shaped object, and can be constructed with a free design.
The present invention is configured as described above.
When the present invention is used, when the handle (3) is turned, the operator (8) of the shaped article A (7) on the pedestal repeats up and down pendulum movement by the magnetic repulsion action. Similarly, when the model (C) is turned, the propeller (14) is rotated when the handle (3) is turned.
