An embodiment according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings illustrating the embodiments.
11 is a power unit. In this embodiment, the power unit 11 is composed of a motor unit and constitutes an operating terminal 1. The power unit 11 is formed of a flat, substantially pentagonal prism as shown in FIG. Reference numeral 12 denotes a motor rotation shaft which is an operation shaft. The motor rotating shaft 12 protrudes from the center of one surface of the power unit 11 as shown in FIG. The tip of the motor rotating shaft 12 has a smooth peripheral surface to avoid scratching the parts to be attached, and the surface is not provided with unevenness such as jaggedness.
Reference numeral 13 shown in FIG. 5 denotes a motor. In this embodiment, the motor 13 is a micro motor, and is housed and installed in a concave motor installation portion 14 provided in the power unit 11. A worm gear 15 is attached to the front end of the motor rotation shaft of the motor 13. The worm gear 15 meshes with a gear 16 attached inside the power unit 11, and the motor 13 drives the gear 16.
The motor rotating shaft 12 is driven by a gear 16.

9 and 13 is a toy that is a part of a turret (gatling gun unit or “hand gatling gun” “trademark”). Reference numeral 22 shown in FIG. 13 denotes a toy drive shaft. The toy drive shaft 22 protrudes into a convex cylinder as shown in FIG. 13, and constitutes a part of the turret. As shown in FIG. 9, the toy drive shaft 22 is attached to a concave fitting hole provided in a toy 23 which is a main body of “Vortex Driver” (trademark) via a concave attachment 31B. Yes.
The toy 21 shown in FIG. 9 is a gatling gun-like toy having a 3 mm shaft or hole, but may be other than the gatling gun-like thing shown in the figure.
The toy drive shaft 22 protrudes into a convex cylinder. When the toy drive shaft 22 and the motor rotation shaft 12 of the power unit 11 are attached, both are convex. Therefore, both cannot be fitted as they are. Therefore, an attachment is required to attach the toy drive shaft 22 and the motor rotating shaft 12. Furthermore, since the motor rotating shaft 12 is a small-diameter metal needle, it is possible to reduce the material and the cost is low, but since the diameter is small, the attachment 31 is necessary.

The attachment 31 illustrated in FIGS. 1, 14 to 17 includes a concave attachment 31 </ b> B having a concave tip and a convex attachment 31 </ b> A having a convex tip. The attachment 31 is provided with a convex attachment 31 </ b> A that is a convex pin or a concave attachment 31 </ b> B that is a concave pin in order to mate with the toy 21.
One end of the attachment 31 is fitted to and detached from the tip of the motor rotating shaft 12, and the other end is fitted to and detached from the toy drive shaft 22 on the toy 21 side. 11 motor rotating shafts 12 are coupled.

The toy drive shaft 22 and the motor rotating shaft 12 are attached via the attachment 31 as shown in FIGS. That is, the motor rotation shaft 12 and the toy drive shaft 22 which is the mainspring drive shaft of the toy 21 such as each mainspring drive are attached by being inserted into both ends of the concave attachment 31B or the convex attachment 31A. 22 is driven by the motor rotating shaft 12.
As shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, the concave attachment 31 </ b> B has a cylindrical shape as a whole. According to the diameter of the motor rotating shaft 12, the diameter is changed so that it can be fitted. That is, at the end portion on the toy drive shaft 22 side, a large mounting hole 31B1 having a diameter of 3 mm is set in accordance with the diameter of 3 mm of the toy gun drive shaft 22, and at the end portion on the motor rotation shaft 12 side, the diameter of the motor rotation shaft 12 is 1 mm. A small diameter 1 mm mounting hole 31B2 is used.

The shaft configuration of the mounting portion of the motor rotation shaft 12 and the toy drive shaft 22 of the toy 21 such as each spring drive is such that the motor rotation shaft 12, the toy drive shaft 22, the concave attachment 31B, or the convex attachment 31A extends from the center to the outside. It becomes a triple structure. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 9, the concave attachment 31B is shown on the surface. Further, the shafts are joined closely, and the power transmission is smooth.
The power unit 11 functions as a power unit of the toy 23 by incorporating the power unit 11 into the toy 23 which is the main body of the “vortex driver” (trademark), which is illustrated in FIG. For example, it becomes a structure without a sense of incongruity as additional equipment of a robot toy.

The toy 24 shown in FIG. 10 and the toy 21 shown in FIG. 9 are both toys. The toy 21 is located at the tip of the “hand gatling gun” (trademark), while the toy 24, which is another toy, is located at the tip of the “vortex driver” (trademark). As shown in FIG. 9, the toy 23 which is the main body of the “vortex driver” (trademark) is assembled integrally with the toy 21 which is the tip of the “hand gatling gun” (trademark), The toy body 25 is configured as follows.
As shown in FIG. 10, the toy 23 which is the main body of the “vortex driver” (trademark) is combined with the toy 24 which is the tip of the “vortex driver” (trademark), and is assembled as a whole. The toy body 25 is configured. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 10, the drive unit 26 of the toy 24 is attached to the motor rotating shaft 12 of the power unit 11. Therefore, the toy 24 is rotated with the rotation of the motor rotating shaft 12.

The toy 21 is attached to the toy 23 which is the main body of the “vortex driver” (trademark) with a toy drive shaft 22 instead of the toy 24 which is the tip of the “vortex driver” (trademark).
The toy 23 and the toy 21 are originally part of different toys of “Vortex Driver” (trademark) and “Hand Gatling Gun” (trademark), respectively, but are connected via a concave attachment 31B as shown in FIG. And assembled together.
