【Example】

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 indicates a disc-shaped toy, and the toy body 2 of the toy 1 is attached to a traveling toy B such as a tank or a trailer by appropriate means.

As shown in FIG. 2, the toy body 2 is composed of a lower member 2a and an upper member 2b, which are joined by a screw 7, and a pair of flip pieces 5 for ejecting a disc 4 inside and the flip pieces. A push-out member 6 that pushes out the disk 4 between 5 and a motion conversion mechanism A are arranged.

The disk 4 is formed of a synthetic resin such as plastic into a disk shape, and two substantially U-shaped cutouts 4 a are formed on the edge thereof. The disk 4 is engaged with a guide piece 24 of a storage cylinder 23 described later. It is provided so as to be aligned and housed in the tube 23 and to be easily bundled by a banding member 9 such as a rubber band or a cord during storage (see FIG. 3A).

Further, as shown in FIG. 3 (b), a standing edge 4 b is formed around the back surface of the disc 4 to reduce the contact area with the lower member 2 a to reduce the frictional resistance during firing. It is designed to be kept to a minimum.

The motion converting mechanism A includes an eccentric cam 12, a gear 14 provided on a shaft 13 of the eccentric cam 12, and a drive gear 15 meshing with the gear 14.

The shaft 17 of the drive gear 15 penetrates through a through hole 21 formed in the upper member 2b, which will be described later, and projects to the upper surface of the upper member 2b, and is fitted into a fitting hole 3a formed in the dial 3. However, the eccentric cam 12 is provided so as to rotate by rotating the dial 3.

The lower member 2 a is a plate-shaped fixed shaft 8 for fixing the flipping piece 5, a bearing 16 for rotatably supporting a shaft 13 of an eccentric cam 12 of the motion converting mechanism A, and a shaft of a drive gear 15. A bearing 18 that rotatably supports 17 is formed, and guide edges 29, 29 are formed to stabilize the direction in which the disc 4 is fired.

The front portion 30 of the lower member 2a is formed so that the front end is inclined obliquely upward in order to increase the flight distance of the fired disc 4.

The upper member 2b has a box-like shape with an open lower portion, and has a firing port 20 for ejecting the disc 4 formed in the front portion thereof, and a through hole 21 through which the shaft 17 of the drive gear 15 penetrates on the upper surface. An opening 22 into which the disc 4 is inserted is formed, and a cylindrical storage tube 23 is continuously provided in the opening 22 so that a plurality of discs 4 can be stacked and stored. An engagement piece 24 that engages with a notch 4 a formed in the disk 4 is formed on the front inside of the storage cylinder 23 so that the disk 4 can be aligned and stored. The engaging piece also has a function of preventing the loading of dangerous discs such as metal plates and coins other than the designated disc 4.

The flipping piece 5 is a rod-shaped elastic member made of plastic or the like, a convex portion 25 having a substantially triangular shape is formed at the front end, and the rear end is connected to the holding portion 26 and is formed in an outwardly open shape.

As shown in FIG. 4 (a), the distance L 1 between the flipping pieces 5 and the flipping pieces 5 is formed to be slightly wider than the diameter L 3 of the discs 4, and the discs 4 are accommodated between the flipping pieces 5. Besides, the distance L2 between the front ends is made smaller than the diameter L3 of the disc 4, and when the accommodated disc 4 is pushed forward, as shown in FIG. It is provided so as to push outward the disk 4 by the restoring force of the repelling piece 5 when the disk 4 moves while pushing outwards against the maximum diameter and passes the maximum diameter (diameter) of the disk 4.

The holding portion 26 of the flipping piece 5 is formed with a fitting portion 27 that is fitted to the fixed shaft 8 of the lower member 2a to fix the flipping piece 5 to the lower member 2a. A guide port 28 for guiding the movement of the pushing member 6 is formed between the fitting portion 27 and the fitting portion 27.

The pushing member 6 is made of a synthetic resin such as plastic and is formed in a plate shape. The upper surface and the lower surface are formed with a recessed portion 6a, and the contact area between the lower member 2a and the guide port 28 is reduced to allow sliding. It is provided to reduce frictional resistance and to move smoothly.

Further, a fitting hole 31 is formed in the rear part, and the eccentric cam 12 of the motion converting mechanism A is loosely fitted in the fitting hole 31, and when the eccentric cam 12 rotates, the pushing member 6 guides the guide hole 28. It is installed so as to be reciprocated back and forth guided by.

When the push member 6 rotates the dial 3, the drive gear 15 rotates in association with the dial 3, and the gear 14 meshed with the drive gear 15 as shown in FIG. 5B. Rotates, the eccentric cam 12 rotates, and the pushing member 6 is moved forward to push the disk 4 accommodated between the flipping pieces 5 forward (see FIG. 5C). Since this pushing member 6 moves forward until the maximum diameter of the disc 4 gets over the convex portion 25 of the flipping piece 5, the disc 4 is flipped forward by the elastic restoring force of the flipping piece 5 (Fig. 5 ( See d)).

Further, when the dial 3 is rotated, the pushing member 6 moves rearward (see FIG. 5E), and the tip moves rearward of the flipping piece 5 as shown in FIG. The disc 4 which has been housed on top of the disc 4 that has been stacked falls down between the flipping pieces 5 and is pushed out by the pushing member 6 so that the discs can be continuously fired.

The tip of the pushing member 6 is formed in a substantially crescent-shaped arc symmetrically from the center. The diameter of this crescent-shaped arc is formed to be the same as the diameter of the disc 4, and when the dial 3 is rotated to the left (see FIG. 6 (a)) or to the right (see FIG. 6 (b)), Since the eccentric cam 12 rotates in a different direction and the pushing member 6 moves forward on the left shoulder upward or right shoulder upward, it is provided so as to reliably hold the disc 4 regardless of whether it is pushed from the left side or the right side. .

Since the disc-shaped launching toy 1 is configured as described above, a plurality of discs 4 are formed by aligning the notch portion 4a with the guide piece 24 from above the storage cylinder 23 as shown in FIG. Store.

Next, the dial 3 is rotated in one direction. Since the drive gear 15 is fixed to the dial 3, the drive gear 15 rotates. When the drive gear 15 rotates, the gear 14 meshing with the drive gear 15 rotates, the eccentric cam 12 integrally formed on the shaft 13 of the gear 14 rotates, and the push member 6 reciprocates back and forth. Let

As shown in FIG. 5 (a), the disc 4 housed between the flipping pieces 5 pushes up the pushing member 6 when the drive gear 15 rotates counterclockwise as shown by an arrow a as shown in FIG. 5 (b). Moves forward and contacts the disc 4. When the dial 3 is further turned, the disc 4 is pushed forward by the pushing member 6 while pushing the flipping piece 5 (see FIG. 5C). This pushing member 6 moves forward until the maximum diameter of the disc 4 gets over the convex portion 25 of the flipping piece 5, so that the disc 4 is flipped forward by the elastic restoring force of the flipping piece 5 (Fig. 5 (d)). As shown in FIG. 1, the disc that has been flipped off is vigorously fired forward from the firing port 20 formed in the front portion of the toy body 2.

Further, when the dial 3 is rotated, the push-out member 6 moves rearward (see FIGS. 5 (e) and 5 (a)), and as shown in FIG. Since the discs 4'contained in layers fall on the moving track of the pushing member 6, if the dial 3 is continuously rotated, the pushing member 6 repeats the reciprocating motion and is housed in the housing cylinder 23. It is possible to continuously fire the discs 4 ′ that have been cut.

Further, since the tip of the pushing member 6 is formed in a substantially crescent-shaped waveform, even if the dial 3 is rotated clockwise or counterclockwise, it is the same as the disk 4 regardless of the direction of rotation. Since it abuts, it can be operated by anyone regardless of right-handed or left-handed.

As described above, by simply rotating the dial continuously, the discs 4 accommodated in the accommodating cylinder 23 are sequentially accommodated between the flip pieces 5, and the accommodated discs 4 are arranged in the dial 3. The disc 4 can be continuously fired regardless of the rotation direction.

As shown in FIG. 8, the motion converting mechanism A is replaced with the drive gear 15, and the shaft 37 of the disk 35 having the eccentric shaft 36 is fitted into the fitting hole 3 a of the dial 3 and the front end is fixed. When the pushing member 38 formed by the circular arc having the same diameter as the circular plate 4 is biased rearward by the spring 39, when the dial 3 is rotated, the circular plate 35 is rotated and the circular plate 35 is formed. The eccentric shaft 36 pushes the pushing member 38 forward. When the disc 4 is pushed by the pushing member 38 and has a maximum diameter over the convex portion 25 of the flipping piece 5, it can be pushed forward by the elastic restoring force of the flipping piece 5.

Further, as shown in FIG. 9, the motion converting mechanism A is replaced with the drive gear 15 and the shaft 42 of the disk 40 having the eccentric shaft 41 is fitted into the fitting hole 3a of the dial 3 and the front end is fixed. When the pushing member 43 formed by the circular arc having the same diameter as the circular arc of the disc 4 and the eccentric shaft 41 of the disc 40 are rotatably connected by the link 44, when the dial 3 is rotated, the disc 40 is rotated. Is rotated, and the link 44 rotatably attached to the eccentric shaft 41 of the disc 40 pushes the pushing member 43 forward. When the disc 4 is pushed by the pushing member 43 and the maximum diameter thereof goes over the convex portion 25 of the flipping piece 5, it can be flipped forward by the elastic restoring force of the flipping piece 5.

[Effect of device]

 According to the present invention, when the dial is rotated, the rotary motion of the dial is converted into the forward / backward movement of the pushing member arranged behind the flipping piece, and the pushing member pushes the disc accommodated between the flipping pieces. It pushes forward against the elasticity of the flipping piece, and the elastic restoring force of the flipping piece blows off the disc, so there is no need for springs or triggers, and a launching toy that can launch the disc with a simple structure is provided. Can be provided.

It should be noted that an eccentric cam that moves the push-out member back and forth in the motion conversion mechanism, a gear provided on the shaft of the eccentric cam, and a drive gear that is provided coaxially with the dial and meshes with the gear. When configured, the disc can be continuously fired by simply rotating the dial continuously. Furthermore, by increasing the gear ratio between the gear and the drive gear, the disc can be fired even if the dial rotation amount is small.

When the tip of the pushing member is formed in a substantially crescent-shaped arc symmetrically with respect to the center, the tip of the pushing member is changed even if the rotating direction of the dial is changed to change the rotating direction of the eccentric cam. Since it accurately contacts the disc, the disc can be reliably pushed forward.
