  Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the working toy according to the present embodiment includes an operating body 10 having an operating mechanism, an outer shell body 50 that is sealed in a state in which the operating body 10 is accommodated therein, and the outer shell. An operation regulating member 60 disposed inside the body 50 is provided.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the outer shell body 50 is a hollow egg shape, and includes an upper shell portion 51 that forms the upper half of the egg shape, and a lower shell portion 52 that forms the lower half of the egg shape. ing. The upper shell portion 51 and the lower shell portion 52 form an egg shape by joining an opening edge after accommodating the operating body 10 and the operation regulating member 60 therein.

  As shown in FIG. 3, a plurality of presser portions 51 a protrude from the inner ceiling portion of the upper shell portion 51, and the operating body accommodated inside the outer shell body 50 by the plurality of presser portions 51 a. Ten heads can be fixed.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3, a plurality of restricting member attaching portions 52 a are provided on the inner bottom portion of the lower shell portion 52 so as to protrude, and the inside of the outer shell body 50 is formed by the restricting member attaching portions 52 a. It is possible to fix the bottom of the operation restricting member 60 accommodated in the housing.

  By providing the pressing portion 51a of the upper shell portion 51 and the regulating member mounting portion 52a of the lower shell portion 52 as described above, as shown in FIG. The regulating member 60 is fixed so as not to move inside the outer shell body 50.

  The outer shell 50 formed in this way is made of a material that is brittle and easily broken (for example, non-flexible resin such as chemiwood) and has a thickness of about 1 mm. By applying an impact such as striking, it is easily broken and cracked. Then, by applying an impact and destroying the outer shell body 50, the operating body 10 accommodated in the outer shell body 50 comes out.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the operating body 10 accommodated in the outer shell 50 imitates the form of an animal (for example, a chick), and can be self-propelled by being provided with an operating mechanism driven by a motor 21. Is formed.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the operating body 10 is formed by combining a front member 12 and a rear member 13 that form a main body of the operating body 10 to form a basic shape of an animal. A battery 25 for supplying power to the motor 21, a worm gear 22 attached to the rotating shaft of the motor 21, a worm wheel 23 meshing with the worm gear 22, a wheel shaft 24 rotating integrally with the worm wheel 23, and both ends of the wheel shaft 24 The wheel 15 etc. which are fixed to are accommodated.

  For this reason, when the power supply to the motor 21 is started, the worm gear 22 rotates integrally with the rotation shaft of the motor 21, and the rotation of the worm gear 22 is converted into rotation in the orthogonal direction via the worm wheel 23 and transmitted. Is done. The wheel 15 is rotated by rotating the wheel shaft 24 integrally with the worm wheel 23.

  The wheel 15 has a rubber piece 15a attached to the outer rotation center portion. The rubber pieces 15a are attached to the left and right wheels 15 so as to alternate with each other. By rotating integrally with the wheels 15, the rubber pieces 15a perform an operation of kicking the running surface backward like a foot. For this reason, even though the vehicle is traveling with the wheels 15, it looks as if it is traveling with the feet formed of the rubber pieces 15 a, and the traveling appearance is interesting.

  An arm member 16 simulating an animal arm is provided above the wheel 15, and the arm member 16 moves up and down in accordance with the rotation of the wheel 15. For this reason, since it seems that it is not only the leg | foot formed with the rubber piece 15a but the arm, it is running | running | working, and the interesting aspect is also added to the figure which is drive | working further.

  It should be noted that the battery housing part can be released on the back surface of the rear member 13 by removing the battery cover 14 so that the battery 25 can be replaced.

  By the way, the power supply to the motor 21 of the operating body 10 according to the present embodiment is switched on and off by the switch unit 26 provided in series with the motor 21 and the battery 25. As shown in FIG. 5, the switch portion 26 is formed of a first contact piece 26a and a second contact piece 26b formed by bending a thin plate-like metal. One of the first contact piece 26a and the second contact piece 26b is connected to the minus side, and the other is connected to the plus side. Since the first contact piece 26a and the second contact piece 26b are in contact with each other in a normal state, power supply to the motor 21 is performed. However, as will be described later, if an insulator is inserted between the first contact piece 26a and the second contact piece 26b, it is pushed and bent away from each other, and power supply to the motor 21 is obstructed. ing.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the switch portion 26 is provided near the bottom portion of the operating body 10, and power supply can be turned off by inserting an insulator from the bottom surface side. That is, as shown in FIG. 6, the operating body 10 according to the present embodiment has an insertion hole 10 a on the bottom surface, and the above-described switch portion 26 is disposed so as to be inside the insertion hole 10 a. Yes. For this reason, by inserting an insulator through the insertion hole 10a, the insulator is inserted between the first contact piece 26a and the second contact piece 26b, and power supply to the motor 21 is obstructed. Yes.

  The operation restricting member 60 is a resin member for restricting the operation of the operating mechanism (motor mechanism) of the operating body 10 described above, that is, inserted between the first contact piece 26a and the second contact piece 26b. Insulating protrusion 60c (insulator) is provided. As shown in FIG. 4, the insulating protrusion 60 c is a protrusion erected on the bottom plate 60 a of the operation restricting member 60.

  When the operation restricting member 60 is accommodated in the outer shell 50, it is detachably press-fitted and fixed to the restricting member mounting portion 52a of the outer shell 50 as shown in FIG.

  The bottom plate 60a of the operation restricting member 60 is provided with a wheel groove 60b for mounting the wheel 15 of the operating body 10, and the operating body 10 is mounted so that the wheel 15 comes on the wheel groove 60b. Thus, the insulating protrusion 60c is formed so as to be inserted into the insertion hole 10a.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 7, when the operating body 10 is placed on the operation regulating member 60, the insulating protrusion 60c is inserted into the insertion hole 10a, and the inserted insulating protrusion 60c is connected to the first contact piece 26a and the second contact piece 26a. In order to enter between the contact pieces 26b, the first contact pieces 26a and the second contact pieces 26b are insulated from each other and are not energized.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the operating body 10 is accommodated in the outer shell 50 with the operation restricting member 60 attached, that is, the first contact piece 26a and the second contact piece 26b are insulated. In the outer shell 50 in a state where the operation restricting member 60 restricts the operation of the motor mechanism.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the operating body 10 and the operation restricting member 60 are fixed by being sandwiched between the pressing portion 51 a of the outer shell 50 and the restricting member mounting portion 52 a in the state of being accommodated in the outer shell 50. Therefore, the operating body 10 does not come off from the operation restricting member 60. However, when the outer shell 50 is destroyed and the pressing by the pressing portion 51a and the restricting member mounting portion 52a of the outer shell 50 is released, the operating member 10 can be easily detached from the operation restricting member 60. ing.

  For this reason, when an impact is applied and the outer shell 50 is destroyed, the operating body 10 is detached from the operation restricting member 60, and the motor mechanism starts operating. That is, by breaking the egg (outer shell 50), the animal (operating body 10) jumps out of the egg, and the animal starts to self-run.

  In addition, in order to stop the operating body 10 that has started self-propelling in this way, the operation regulating member 60 may be taken out from the outer shell body 50 and attached to the operating body 10.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the operating body 10 is accommodated inside the outer shell 50 in a state where the operation of the motor mechanism is restricted by the operation restricting member 60, and an impact is applied to the outer shell 50. When the actuator 10 is broken, the operating body 10 is detached from the operation restricting member 60, and the motor mechanism is started to operate. For this reason, it is possible to provide an unprecedented new toy in which the operating body 10 accommodated in the outer shell body 50 comes out of the outer shell body 50 and starts self-propelled.

  Further, since the operation restricting member 60 is detachably fixed to the outer shell body 50, the operation restricting member 60 is provided when it is desired to stop the operation of the operating body 10 after the actuating body 10 is removed from the outer shell body 50. It can be removed and mounted on the operating body 10 for use. For this reason, it is not necessary to provide a switch or the like for stopping the operation of the operating body 10, and a toy can be provided at low cost.

(Modification)
In the above embodiment, the motor mechanism is used as the operating mechanism. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, a spring mechanism may be used as the operating mechanism.

  8 to 10 are drawings according to modified examples using a mainspring mechanism as an operation mechanism. This modification will be described with reference to this drawing. In addition, since the basic configuration aspect of this modification is the same as that of the above-described embodiment, the description that it is the same is omitted, and only different points will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the working body 10 according to the present modification forms a basic shape of an animal by combining the front member 12 and the rear member 13 that form the main body of the working body 10. The mainspring unit 31, the wheel 15 attached to the rotating shaft of the mainspring unit 31, the swing member 40 arranged so as to be adjacent to the mainspring unit 31, and the like are accommodated.

  A known spring unit 31 may be used. For example, a mainspring unit 31 having a constant speed mechanism as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-76633 may be used. The spring unit 31 is a so-called pullback type in which the spring 15 is wound in the reverse direction by pulling the wheel 15 backward while the wheel 15 is pressed against a flat surface.

  The constant speed mechanism included in the mainspring unit 31 is for limiting the rotation speed of the gears constituting the mainspring unit 31 to keep the rotation speed of the output shaft (the axle 35 in the present modification) constant. .

  For example, as shown in FIG. 9, a constant speed mechanism can be configured by contacting an ankle member 34 that is swingable left and right and a star-shaped gear 36. In this constant speed mechanism, the ankle member 34 swings about the shaft portion 34b, so that the claw portions 34a provided at both ends of the ankle member 34 alternately contact the gear 36, thereby rotating the gear 36. It acts to suppress the number (see FIGS. 9A and 9B).

  Although this constant speed mechanism is arranged inside the case 32 of the mainspring unit 31, the ankle member 34 is exposed from a governor window 33 provided on the surface of the case 32 as shown in FIG. Yes. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 9C, if the ankle member 34 exposed to the outside is pressed against the gear 36 and either of the claw portions 34 a on both sides is engaged with the gear 36, Rotation can be prevented. In this modification, the ankle member 34 is pressed against the gear 36 by the rocking member 40 described above to prevent the gear 36 from rotating.

  The rocking member 40 is an L-shaped member as shown in FIG. 8, and a pressing portion 40b disposed so as to face the governor window 33 and a receiver extending at a predetermined angle with respect to the pressing portion 40b. A portion 40a, and a shaft portion 40d provided in the vicinity of the joint between the pressing portion 40b and the receiving portion 40a. The swing member 40 is swingable with a shaft portion 40d pivotally supported by the front member 12 (or the rear member 13). A pressing projection 40c is provided near the tip of the pressing portion 40b, and the ankle member 34 exposed from the governor window 33 can be pressed by the pressing projection 40c.

  The swinging member 40 is normally biased to a release position where it does not press the ankle member 34 by a biasing member (not shown).

  As shown in FIG. 8, the receiving portion 40 a of the swing member 40 is provided in the horizontal direction near the bottom of the operating body 10. And as shown in FIG. 10, the insertion hole 10a is opening in the bottom face of the action | operation body 10 located in the lower part of this receiving part 40a.

  By the way, as shown in FIG. 8, the operation restricting member 60 according to this modification includes an engaging portion 60d that is inserted into the insertion hole 10a. The engaging portion 60d is a protrusion erected on the bottom plate 60a, and is disposed inside the insertion hole 10a through the insertion hole 10a when the operating body 10 is placed on the operation restriction member 60. It is formed so as to press the receiving portion 40a of the swinging member 40.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 10A, in a state before the operating body 10 is placed on the operation restricting member 60, the swinging member 40 is urged by the urging member (not shown), and the pressing protrusion 40c. Is outside the mainspring unit 31.

  When the operating body 10 is placed on the operation restricting member 60 from this state, as shown in FIG. 10B, the pressing protrusion 40c is inserted into the insertion hole 10a, and the inserted pressing protrusion 40c is inserted into the swinging member 40. The receiving portion 40a is pushed up against the urging force. Then, the swinging member 40 swings about the shaft portion 40 d and the pressing portion 40 b is tilted toward the mainspring unit 31. By this operation, the pressing protrusion 40 c near the tip of the pressing portion 40 b enters the governor window 33 of the mainspring unit 31 and presses the ankle member 34. For this reason, since the ankle member 34 is pressed against the gear 36, the rotation of the gear 36 is prevented and the operation of the mainspring mechanism is restricted.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 1, the operating body 10 is accommodated inside the outer shell body 50 with the operation restricting member 60 attached, that is, the pressing protrusion 40 c causes the ankle member 34 of the mainspring unit 31 to move. It is housed inside the outer shell 50 in a pressed state (a state where the operation restricting member 60 restricts the operation of the mainspring mechanism). In addition, when storing, the mainspring of the mainspring unit 31 is wound up in advance and is in an operable state.

  Thus, in the state accommodated in the inside of the outer shell 50, the operating body 10 and the operation restricting member 60 are fixed by being sandwiched between the pressing portion 51a of the outer shell 50 and the restricting member mounting portion 52a. The body 10 does not come off the operation restricting member 60. However, when the outer shell 50 is destroyed and the pressing by the pressing portion 51a and the restricting member mounting portion 52a of the outer shell 50 is released, the operating member 10 can be easily detached from the operation restricting member 60. ing.

  For this reason, when an impact is applied and the outer shell 50 is destroyed, the operating body 10 is detached from the operation restricting member 60, and the mainspring mechanism starts to operate. That is, by breaking the egg (outer shell 50), the animal (operating body 10) jumps out of the egg, and the animal starts to self-run.

  As described above, according to the present modification, the operating body 10 is accommodated in the outer shell 50 in a state where the operation of the mainspring mechanism is restricted by the operation restricting member 60, and an impact is applied to the outer shell 50. When the actuator is broken, the operating body 10 is detached from the operation restricting member 60, and the mainspring mechanism starts to operate. For this reason, it is possible to provide an unprecedented new toy in which the operating body 10 accommodated in the outer shell body 50 comes out of the outer shell body 50 and starts self-propelled.

  In addition, in the said description, although the action body 10 which self-propels by an action mechanism was demonstrated, as embodiment of this invention, it is not restricted to this. For example, the sound may be output by an operating mechanism. In this case, for example, it can be formed such that an animal (operating body 10) coming out of an egg (outer shell 50) emits a cry. Even in such a case, the power supply to the operating mechanism may be managed by the operation restricting member 60 as in the above-described embodiment.
