DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

 1A and 1B show an embodiment of the present invention. The main body 2 of this motion toy 1 is made in the shape of a shoe. An animal doll 3 resembling a prairie dog is installed in the opening 2a of the main body 2. This animal doll 3 is attached to the main body 2 so that it can appear and disappear. In this moving toy 1, when the mode changeover switch SW (see FIG. 4) is operated to select the auto mode, the animal doll 3 appears and disappears irregularly with respect to the main body 2. In this case, the amount of protrusion of the animal doll 3 from the main body 2 is not constant, and the animal doll 3 sometimes protrudes from the main body 2 large and sometimes small. Also, the animal doll 3 changes its direction to the left and right, though slightly. In addition, during this appearance, a prairie dog screams from the main unit 3. When the sound change mode is selected by operating the mode changeover switch SW, the animal doll 3 appears and disappears from the main body 2 when an external sound is detected. In addition, at the time of appearing and disappearing, the prairie dog screams from the main body 3 as in the auto mode.

As shown in FIG. 2, the outer shell of the main body 2 is composed of a lower frame 20, an upper frame 21, and a battery lid 22. Among them, the lower frame 20 constitutes a shoe sole, the upper frame 21 constitutes a shoe rim, and the battery lid 22 constitutes an upper part of the shoe.

A mechanical frame 30 is installed in the main body 2. A battery storage portion 31 is provided on the mechanical frame 30, and two AA batteries E (see FIG. 5) can be placed in the battery storage portion 31. A speaker mounting portion 32 is provided next to the battery housing portion 31 in the mechanical frame 30, and the speaker 33 is attached to the speaker mounting portion 32 in a state where the speaker 33 is pressed by a washer fitted in a screw 60. It is included. Further, the mechanical frame 30 is provided with a motor mounting portion 34, and a motor 35 is mounted on the motor mounting portion 34. The motor 35 is attached by screwing the motor pressing plate 36 to the mechanical frame 30. The shaft 35 a of the motor 35 penetrates the mechanical frame 30 and extends to the lower side of the mechanical frame 30.

A pulley (rotating body) 40 is provided below the mechanical frame 30. The pulley 40 is rotatably provided around a shaft 40a. A rubber band 41 is hung in the groove of the pulley 40. A part of the rubber band 41 is hooked on a brass roller 35b attached to the tip of the motor 35. A rubber band 41 is wound around the pulley 40, and power is transmitted to the pulley 40 via the rubber band 41 when an infant or the like holds the animal doll 3 by hand while the motor 35 is operating. This is because slippage of the rubber band 41 with respect to the pulley 40 prevents the motor 35 from being damaged, and the cost can be reduced as compared with the case of using a gear.

To the eccentric position of the pulley 40, one end of a plate spring (strip-shaped elastic body) 50 made of steel or stainless steel is connected. The leaf spring 50 is curved in an arc shape along the width direction. Such an arcuate curve makes it easy to immediately return to the original state even when bent like a steel tape measure. As a result, in the present embodiment, the leaf spring 50 has a structure in which it is easy to stand upright and is hard to break. As shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, the leaf spring 50 is guided by the pulley 52 and the roller 53 installed on the swing frame 51, and the upper opening 51a of the swing frame 51 and the mechanism. It is pulled out upward from the opening 30a of the frame 30. The upper end of the leaf spring 50 is engaged with the head of the animal figure 3. That is, as shown in FIG. 3, the upper end portion of the leaf spring 50 is inserted into the main body of the animal doll 3 made of a cloth bag, and the head forming component 54 is attached to this upper end portion. . The head molded part 54 and the inner surface of the main body of the animal doll 3 are adhered to each other with a velcro or the like. The swing frame 51 is used because the plate spring 50 swings as the pulley 40 rotates, so that the swingable plate spring 50 is properly guided.

A printed circuit board 70 to which the control means is fixed is provided in the main body 2. A condenser microphone 71 is attached to the printed board 70.

A control circuit formed on the printed circuit board 70 is shown in FIG. The mode changeover switch SW incorporated in this control circuit is a 3-position switch. When the movable contact 61 is connected to the contact a, the mode is switched to the auto mode, and when the movable contact 61 is connected to the contact b, it is connected to the off mode and the contact c. Then the sound mode is set. In addition, the semiconductor integrated circuit 80 such as an LSI, which constitutes the main part of the control circuit, stores control data for controlling the rotation direction and rotation time of the motor 35, as well as voice data corresponding to a cry. Is stored. Then, in the auto mode, the control data is read from the semiconductor integrated circuit 80, a signal based on the control data is output from the output port P1 or P2, and the motor 35 performs normal rotation / reverse rotation accordingly. That is, a high-level signal is output from the output port P1 or P2 based on the control data, but when a high-level signal is output from the output port P1, the transistors Q1 and Q2 operate and the motor 35 operates. When the motor rotates in the normal direction and a high-level signal is output from the output port P2, the transistors Q3 and Q4 operate and the motor 35 rotates in the reverse direction. At the same time, voice data is read from the semiconductor integrated circuit 80, a signal based on the voice data is output from the output port P3, the transistor Q5 is activated, and the speaker 33 makes a cry. In the sound sensing mode, the control data is read from the semiconductor integrated circuit 80 only when the condenser microphone 71 collects a sound, and a high level signal based on the control data is output from the output port P1 or P2. The motor 35 performs normal rotation / reverse rotation accordingly. At the same time, voice data is read from the semiconductor integrated circuit 80, a signal based on the voice data is output, and a loud voice is emitted from the speaker 33.

In FIG. 2, reference numeral 3 a indicates a weight ring attached to the lower side of the animal doll 3, and reference numeral 71 a indicates a microphone cover attached to the condenser microphone 71.

According to the moving toy configured as described above, the following effects can be obtained. According to this moving toy 1, the animal doll 3 is supported by the leaf spring 50, and the animal doll 3 is moved by operating the leaf spring 50 by the rotation of the pulley 40, so that the animal doll 3 is soft and smooth and natural. In addition to allowing the animal doll 3 to move, the motion toy 1 can be made inexpensive. Further, according to this motion toy 1, since it makes a cry, the cuteness is doubled. Furthermore, according to the moving toy 1, the animal doll 3 moves in response to an external sound, so that the original behavior of the animal that is sensitive to the external sound can be realized.

Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to such an embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the invention.

For example, in the above-described embodiment, the example in which the animal doll 3 is used as the figurine has been described, but it goes without saying that the figurine may be an automobile, an airplane, a robot, or another figurine.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the example in which the plate spring 50 made of steel or stainless steel is used as the band-shaped elastic body has been described, but it goes without saying that it may be made of plastic.
