[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, with such a compact toy, the mainspring is stored when the lid of the compact toy is closed, so when carrying the compact toy or storing the compact toy in a drawer of a desk or the like. If you close the lid of the compact toy, such as when you leave it, the mainspring will be in a state of storing energy, and the mainspring will easily expand on a hot day, and it is more convenient to keep the lid closed for a longer time. Since it is much longer than the time it is left open, the mainspring spring will stretch in a short period of time due to aging effects. If the mainspring is stretched, the mainspring power cannot be used effectively. Also, in the string-type mainspring, it is difficult to adjust the length of the string when assembling or repairing it when the stroke of the string is short, when the stroke of the string is small. Further, when the string is broken due to the effect of aging, there is a problem that it is extremely difficult to tie the string.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object thereof is to provide an openable toy that can effectively use the mainspring power and can be easily assembled and repaired.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 A first means has a main body having a main surface provided with operating parts and a lid attached to the main body so as to be openable and closable, and the mainspring and the mainspring for storing the mainspring are stored in the main body. In an openable toy provided with a biasing mechanism and a power transmission mechanism for transmitting the power of the mainspring to the operating component, a biasing means for biasing the lid in the opening direction and the lid in a closed state are used. The locking mechanism includes a locking member that locks and a release member that operates by an external operation to release the locked state of the lid by the locking member, and the energy storage mechanism is directly operated by the operation of the releasing member. An input gear that engages with the release member so as to rotate is configured to store the mainspring when the release member operates in a direction to release the locked state of the lid by the lock member. It is characterized by

A second means is the openable toy of the first means, characterized in that a mirror is attached to the back side of the lid.

A third means is characterized in that in the first or second openable toy, the locking member and the releasing member are integrally configured.

[0008]

[Action]

 According to the above-mentioned means, the mainspring is not stored when the lid is closed.Therefore, when the carry-on toy is carried around or the toy is stored in the drawer of the desk, etc. It cannot be stored in a state of energy accumulation. Therefore, the elongation of the mainspring due to the effect of aging is also small. Also, unlike the string-type mainspring, since no string is used, it is not so difficult to adjust the movement as the string-type mainspring.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, a retractable toy according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 indicates a compact toy as an example of a retractable toy. The compact toy 1 includes a thin-walled cylindrical main body 2 and a lid 3 that covers the main surface of the main body 2. The main surface of the main body 2 is covered with a transparent cover 4, and the two characters 5 and 6 (FIG. 2) can be seen from the outside through the transparent cover 4. Further, the heads (moving parts) 5a 1 and 6a 2 of the characters 5 and 6 can swing left and right around the neck. A part of the push-button type releasing member 7 projects from the front side of the compact toy 1. Furthermore, a circular mirror 8 is attached to the back side of the lid 3.

In the compact toy 1, when the lid 3 is closed and the release member 7 is pushed into the main body 2 with a finger and then the finger is released from the release member 7, the lid 3 is opened vigorously. The heads 5a and 6a of the body characters 5 and 6 swing left and right. This operation continues for a predetermined time (for example, 8 seconds) and then stops. Further, when it is desired to repeat the head movements of the characters 5 and 6 with the lid 3 left open, the release member 7 may be pushed into the main body 2 again.

Next, the structure of the compact toy 1 will be described.

A lid 3 is attached to the main body 2 so as to be openable and closable around a shaft 3a. The lid 3 is biased by the torsion coil spring 9 (FIG. 3) in the direction in which the lid 3 is opened. It should be noted that one end of the torsion coil spring 9 is sandwiched between the lid 3 and the mirror 8, while the other end of the torsion coil spring 9 extends toward the main body 2 side and a face plate on which the characters 5 and 6 are formed. 2a (Fig. 2).

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the main body 2 has a mainspring (not shown), a power storage mechanism 10 for storing the mainspring, and a power supply for the mainspring. A power transmission mechanism 11 for transmitting to the writing heads 5a and 6a is provided, and the mainspring, a part of the energy storage mechanism 10, and a part of the power transmission mechanism 11 are provided in a mechanism box 12. They make up the mainspring unit.

One end of the mainspring is locked to a fixed portion in the mechanism box 12, and the other end is locked to the mainspring shaft.

The energy storage mechanism 10 has a fan gear (input gear) 18 that engages with the release member 7, a pinion gear 15 that meshes with the fan gear 18, and a rotational force of the pinion gear 15 that is a mainspring. It is composed of a gear mechanism (not shown) for transmitting. A part of the release member 7 is in contact with the base side of the sector gear 18, and when the release member 7 is pushed into the main body 2, the sector gear 18 rotates by a predetermined angle, and the pinion gear 15 and the gear mechanism are rotated. It is configured to store the mainspring through.

As shown in FIG. 5, the power transmission mechanism 11 has a rotary body (crank) 13 which is connected to the mainspring and rotates about an eccentric shaft 13a, and a notch 14a which receives the rotary body 13. It is composed of a gear 14 and a partial gear 15 that meshes with the partial gear 14. Of these, the partial gear 14 is adapted to reciprocally rotate about the shaft 14b, and the reciprocating rotation of the partial gear 14 causes the head 5a, which is also fixed to the shaft 14b and located on the face plate 2a, to swing. Will be done. Further, the partial gear 15 is adapted to reciprocally rotate about a shaft 15a, and the forward and backward rotation of the partial gear 15 causes the head 6a, which is also fixed to the shaft 15a and located on the face plate 2a, to swing. Will be done. In this case, the swinging directions of the heads 5a and 6a are in the opposite directions.

Next, the structure of the releasing member 7 and the structure of the locking member 17 operated by the releasing member 7 will be described.

The releasing member 7 extends through the main body 2, and the portion of the releasing member 7 protruding from the main body 2 has a butterfly shape. On the other hand, the part of the releasing member 7 extending into the main body 2 is guided by the side of the mechanism box 12. A spring hook 7a is provided at the tip of the releasing member 7, and a spring 16 is hooked between the spring hook 7a and the fixed portion 2b of the main body 2. The release member 7 is urged by the spring 16 in the direction of protruding from the main body 2.

As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the locking member 17 is engaged with the protrusion 7b of the release member 7, and when the release member 7 is pushed inward of the main body 2, the locking member 17 of FIG. As shown by the chain double-dashed line, the locking member 17 rotates around the shaft 17a. An elastic piece 17b is attached to the locking member 17, and the elastic piece 17b has a tip end in contact with a protrusion 2c attached to the main body 2, and the release member 7 is located inside the main body 2. When the locking member 17 is pushed into and rotates, the locking member 17 is provided with a restoring force. The claw 17c at the tip of the locking member 17 can be engaged with the engagement hole 3b of the lid 3 as shown in FIG.

Next, the operation of this compact toy 1 will be described.

When the releasing member 7 is pushed with the lid 3 closed, the lid 3 is opened vigorously by the action of the torsion coil spring 9, and the fan gear 18 is rotated by the releasing member 7 through the gear 15. The mainspring is rotated and the mainspring is stored. When the hand is released from the releasing member 7 in that state, the mainspring loosens and the mainspring shaft rotates in the opposite direction to the above. Then, the rotating body 13 rotates, and the partial gear 14 reciprocally rotates about the shaft 14a. Further, the partial gear 15 that meshes with the partial gear 14 also reciprocates around the shaft 15a. As a result, the heads 5a and 6a swing. The rocking of the heads 5a and 6a continues until the mainspring is released.

According to the compact toy 1 of the embodiment configured as described above, the following effects can be obtained.
