  When the first connecting portion 31 is inserted into the second connecting portion 55, the spherical ejector 1 and the cassette case 51 are connected to the connecting holes 32 a and 33 a of the first connecting portion 31. Are engaged and connected. The storage port 35 of the spherical body discharge tool 1 and the supply port 59 of the cassette case 51 are connected. The inclined edges (first blocking release portions) 32 b and 33 b of the spherical body discharging tool 1 engage with the engaging shaft 64 of the second blocking piece 61 of the cassette case 51, and the blocking plate 63 resists the elasticity of the arm plate 62. By pushing down (releasing the second blocking piece 61), the small sphere a of the supply port 59 of the cassette case 51 can be passed. The inclined edges (second blocking release portions) 56 b and 57 b of the cassette case 51 engage with the engaging shaft 44 of the first blocking piece 41 of the spherical body discharging tool 1 to resist the closing plate 43 against the elasticity of the arm plate 42. Then, it is pushed up (the first blocking piece 41 is released), and the small sphere a of the accommodation port 35 of the sphere ejector 1 can be passed. Accordingly, the small spheres a in the cassette case 51 can be supplied into the sphere ejector 1. The sphere ejector 1 and the cassette case 51 constitute a sphere ejector 80.

  The spherical body discharging device 80 has the above configuration and can be used as follows. As shown in FIG. 6, the cassette case 51 can replenish the small spheres a through the openings 72. The small sphere a refilled in the cassette case 51 does not jump out of the opening 72 due to the presence of the check claw (check piece) 73. Similarly, due to the presence of the second blocking piece 61, it does not jump out of the supply port 59.

  When the first connecting portion 31 of the spherical body discharging tool 1 is inserted into the second connecting portion 55 of the cassette case 51, the connecting holes 32 a and 33 a of the first connecting portion 31 are formed on the connecting protrusion of the second connecting portion 55. Engage and connect. The storage port 35 of the spherical body discharge tool 1 and the supply port 59 of the cassette case 51 are connected. The inclined edges (first blocking release portions) 32 b and 33 b of the spherical body discharging tool 1 engage with the engaging shaft 64 of the second blocking piece 61 of the cassette case 51, and the blocking plate 63 resists the elasticity of the arm plate 62. Then, it is pushed down (the second blocking piece 61 is released), and the small sphere a of the supply port 59 of the cassette case 51 is allowed to pass. The inclined edges (second blocking release portions) 56 b and 57 b of the cassette case 51 engage with the engaging shaft 44 of the first blocking piece 41 of the spherical body discharging tool 1 to resist the closing plate 43 against the elasticity of the arm plate 42. Then, it is pushed up (the first blocking piece 41 is released), and the small sphere a of the accommodation port 35 of the sphere ejector 1 is allowed to pass. When the sphere discharging tool 1 is turned down and the cassette case 51 is turned up, the small sphere a in the cassette case 51 moves in the sphere discharging tool 1 via the supply port 59 and the storage port 35, and the cassette case 51 The inside small sphere a can be supplied into the sphere ejector 1.

  The spherical body discharging tool 1 is detached from the cassette case 51. As shown in FIG. 3, the sphere ejector 1 can replenish the small sphere a from the opening 26. The small sphere a replenished in the sphere ejector 1 does not jump out of the opening 26 due to the presence of the check claws (check pieces) 27 and 28. Further, due to the presence of the first blocking piece 41, it does not jump out of the accommodation port 35. Further, the stopper protrusion 11 of the stopper piece 11 does not jump out of the discharge port 6.

  The spherical body discharge tool 1 holds the discharge port 6 downward and holds it like a writing tool, and presses the operation protrusion 24. As shown in FIG. 5, when the operation protrusion 24 is pushed in, the operation piece 21 rotates downward about the support shaft 22, and the contact portion 23 presses the rear portion 16 of the stopper piece 11 against the elasticity of the material. To do. The engagement protrusion 25 of the operation piece 21 protrudes into the guide path 7, protrudes between the small sphere a locked to the locking protrusion 15 of the stopper piece 11 and the next small sphere a 1, and the next small sphere a 1. The movement to the discharge port 6 side is prevented. When the rear portion 16 of the stopper piece 11 is pressed by the abutting portion 23, the front portion 13 of the stopper piece 11 rotates upward about the support shaft 12, and the locking projection 15 of the stopper piece 11 is not moved from the protruding position. After moving to the protruding position, the small sphere a locked to the locking protrusion 15 falls from the discharge port 6 due to its own weight. As described above, the spherical body discharging tool 1 can discharge the small spherical bodies a one by one by the pressing operation of the operation protrusion 24.

  When the spherical protrusion 1 releases the operation projection 24, the contact portion 23 does not press the rear portion 16 of the stopper piece 11, so that the rear portion 16 returns to the original state curved by the elasticity of the material. Since the rear portion 16 returns to the original state, the front portion 13 of the stopper piece 11 rotates downward about the support shaft 12, and the locking projection 15 of the stopper piece 11 moves from the non-projecting position to the protruding position. The small sphere a is locked. Since the rear portion 16 returns to the original state, the abutting portion 23 is pushed up, the operation piece 21 rotates upward about the support shaft 22, and the engagement protrusion 25 of the operation piece 21 does not move outside the guide path 7. It moves to the protruding position and does not prevent the movement of the small sphere a. Thus, the spherical body discharge | release tool 1 will return to the original initial state, if the operation protrusion 24 is released.

  The present invention can be used for a bead toy that is played by taking out beads one by one.
