  The problem to be solved by the present invention is that the toy of Patent Document 2 can improve the monotonous launch of the toy of Patent Document 1, but for that purpose, a guide tube that changes the firing direction is attached to the toy body. However, it is difficult to reduce the size of the toy main body as the number of parts increases.

  The present invention solves the above-described problems, and can change the operation mode of a sphere launched from a toy while having a simple structure to a variety of operation modes, and can reduce the size of the toy. It is an object to provide a launching toy.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the ball launching toy according to the present invention is a ball launching toy that pushes a ball contained between flipping pieces with a pushing member and pushes it forward from a launching port provided at a front portion of the toy body. The sphere is composed of a combination of at least two different materials.

  It is preferable that one of the materials constituting the sphere is made of a material heavier than other materials so that the movement of the fired sphere is not simplified.

In addition, the sphere launch toy may have the following requirements to emphasize the movement of the sphere.
(B) A friction member is provided on the circumferential surface of the sphere in the diameter direction. (B) A friction member is provided on the contact surface of the flip piece corresponding to the friction member.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, since the sphere is configured by combining materials having different properties, the sphere rolls with an unexpected rotation when it is launched from the launch toy, so that the movement of the launched sphere can be enjoyed.

  According to the second aspect of the present invention, one of the materials constituting the sphere is made of a material heavier than the other materials, so that the rotation of the heavy material is the main component, and the material that is heavy when the sphere rotates. Depending on where you are, the trajectory changes each time you launch, and you can roll with a trajectory that cannot be predicted.

  According to the invention of claim 3, since the friction member is provided in the diameter direction of the sphere, and the friction member is also provided on the flip piece at a position corresponding to the friction member of the sphere, the rotational force is generated when the sphere is launched. Since it can be given and a powerful sphere can be launched, the opponent's sphere launch toy can be attacked intensely and the battle can be interesting.

  In a sphere launching toy that pushes out a sphere accommodated between flipping pieces by a pushing member and shoots forward from a launching port provided at the front of the toy body, the sphere is configured by combining at least two kinds of materials having different properties. One of the materials constituting the sphere is composed of a material heavier than the other materials.

  FIG. 1 shows a sphere launching toy according to the present invention. In this sphere launching toy, a toy body A is formed by imitating a robot, and a body 2 of the toy body A has a launch port 2 formed on the front surface. , A pair of repelling pieces 3a and 3b for repelling the sphere B, and a pushing member 4 for pushing out the sphere B accommodated between the repelling pieces 3a and 3b are arranged, and the sphere B accommodated in the body part 1 is By pushing the pushing member 4 against the return spring 5, the sphere B is pushed out while expanding the tips of the flip pieces 3a, 3b, and the maximum diameter of the sphere B passes through the tips of the flip pieces 3a, 3b. At the moment, the ball B can be vigorously launched forward from the launch port 2 formed in the body portion 1 by the elastic restoring force of the flip pieces 3a and 3b.

  By the way, the sphere B launched by the sphere launch toy A is not the same as a conventional sphere formed entirely of the same material (for example, ABS resin), and is shown in FIGS. As described above, the first hemisphere 6 and the second hemisphere 7 are coupled to each other, and a screw hole 8 is formed at the center of the inner surface 6a of the first hemisphere 6. A concave portion 11 for accommodating the head portion 10a of the screw 10 is formed at the center of the outer peripheral surface 7a of the hemispherical body 7, and a through hole 12 through which the screw 10 passes is formed on the bottom surface of the concave portion 11 so as to open to the inner surface 7b. The inner surfaces 6a and 7b of the first hemisphere 6 and the second hemisphere 7 are brought into contact with each other, and the tip of the screw 10 inserted into the through hole 12 is screwed into the screw hole 8. A sphere B composed of different materials can be formed.

  In this embodiment, the first hemisphere 6 is made of the same material as the conventional sphere (for example, ABS resin), and the second hemisphere 7 is made of a metal heavier than the first hemisphere 6 (for example, iron, stainless steel). Etc.).

  When the sphere B having the above-described configuration is fired from the toy main body A, as shown in FIG. 3, the sphere B accommodated between the flip pieces 3a and 3b of the toy main body A is operated by pushing the pushing member 5. When fired, the sphere B composed of the first hemisphere 6 and the second hemisphere 7 is launched from the launch port 2, but the positions of the first hemisphere 6 and the second hemisphere 7 are always Since the sphere B is not always in the same state, the center of gravity of the launched sphere B is biased toward the second hemisphere 7, so it rolls in an irregular path and does not necessarily match the direction intended by the user. No, you can fire an unexpected trajectory.

  FIG. 4 shows another example of a sphere launching toy. This sphere launching toy includes a sphere B ′ in which a friction member 20 is provided in a belt shape on the circumferential surface in the diameter direction, and a toy body A ′ that launches the sphere B ′. It is composed of. This toy main body A ′ has three flip pieces 21a, 21b and 21c arranged at equal intervals around the launch port 22, and a friction member 23 is attached to the inner surface of the flip piece 21a located at the lowermost end. It has been. The friction member 23 is made of a material having a high friction coefficient such as styrene-based elastomer or rubber, and the inner surface of the friction member 23 protrudes from the inner surface of the flip piece 21a and is pressed against the sphere B ′. It is fixed to a recess (not shown) formed on the inner surface with an adhesive or the like.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 5A to 5D, the sphere B ′ is composed of a first hemisphere portion 25, a second hemisphere 26, and a ring-shaped friction member 20. On the inner surfaces of the first hemisphere pair 25 and the second hemisphere 26, fitting convex portions 27 and 28 for fitting the friction member 20 are formed, and the heights of the fitting convex portions 27 and 28 are as follows. It is formed at half the width of the friction member 20. A screw hole 29 is formed at the center of the fitting convex portion 27 of the first hemisphere 25, and a recess 30 for accommodating the head portion 31 a of the screw 31 is formed at the center of the outer surface 26 a of the second hemisphere 26. A through hole 32 that penetrates the tip of the screw 31 is formed at the bottom of the recess 30 so as to open to the inner side surface 26b, and a friction member is formed on the fitting convex portion 27 of the first hemisphere 25. 20, the fitting projections 28 of the second hemisphere 26 are fitted to the friction member 20, and the fitting projections 27, 28 of the first hemisphere 25 and the second hemisphere 26 are fitted together. By making the contact and screwing the screw 31 inserted into the through hole 32 into the screw hole 29, it is possible to form a sphere B ′ around which the friction member 20 is provided.

  When firing the sphere B ′ having the above-described configuration, the sphere B ′ is first accommodated between the flip pieces 21a, 21b, and 21c. At this time, the friction member 20 of the sphere B ′ and the friction member 23 of the hopping piece 21a are accommodated between the flip pieces 21a, 21b, 21c of the toy body A ′ so that the friction member 20 of the sphere B ′ is in a vertical state. Can be brought into contact with each other.

  When the sphere B ′ is accommodated in the toy main body A ′, the pushing member 35 is pushed forward against the return spring 36. The sphere B ′ is pushed out while expanding the flip pieces 21a, 21b, and 21c, and at the moment when the maximum diameter of the sphere B passes through the tips of the flip pieces 21a, 21b, and 21c, the sphere B ′ is restored by the restoring force of the flip pieces 21a, 21b, and 21c. B is fired forward vigorously from the launch port 22 formed in the body 1, but the friction member 20 of the sphere B ′ and the friction member 23 of the flip piece 21 a are in pressure contact with each other, so that the sphere 3 is moved forward. Rotating rotational force is applied, and the launched sphere B ′ moves straight forward while rolling, and can roll at a high speed and a long distance.

  As described above, a special mechanism is not attached to the toy main body, and while the same size as a conventional launching toy, the operation mode of the sphere can be changed to a variety of operation modes, and a new way of playing Can be sought.
