Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a toy that uses a magnet, and more particularly to a rocking toy that uses a magnetic force to cause a pair of rocking bodies to perform symmetrical movements.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 As one of the toys that uses magnetic force, for example, by providing multiple butterfly-shaped films resembling butterflies on the skirt of a dress dressed on a doll, and attaching and detaching an external magnet to this skirt, It is known that the wings of the butterfly film are made to flap. The butterfly film of this doll toy is made of a magnetic material, and its wings are folded slightly outward from the center of the body. In this doll toy, the wings of the butterfly film are operated by the attractive force of the external magnet, the elastic restoring force of the folded portion of the butterfly film, and the weight of the film.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, this doll toy has the following problems. That is, according to this doll toy, since the wings are flapping due to the combination of the magnetic body and the external magnet, depending on the operating position of the external magnet, the wings do not flutter at all, or only one of them flutters. There was a problem. Specifically, when the external magnet is operated above the butterfly film, or when the external magnet is operated along the extension direction (movement axis direction) of the butterfly body, the wings do not flap or the butterfly When an external magnet is operated beside one of the blades of the shaped film, the magnetic force does not act on the blade on the other side, and the blade on the other side does not flap. In addition, since the elasticity of the butterfly film itself must be used to flap the wings, repeated use or repeated messing with the child causes the folded portion of the butterfly film to fatigue. , There was a problem that it would no longer flap normally.

An object of the present invention is to provide a rocking toy capable of reliably rocking a rocking body such as flapping.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The swing toy of the present invention comprises a pair of pinion gears that mesh with each other, a permanent magnet that is attached to an eccentric position of one of the pinion gears and operates integrally with the pinion gear, and a pair of the pinion gears. An oscillating body attached to each of the pinion gears and operating integrally with each of the pinion gears is provided, and the oscillating body is oscillated by a magnetic force acting on the magnet by an operation of an external magnet. It is characterized by being configured as follows. The external magnet used here is not only a permanent magnet but also an electromagnet. According to this rocking toy, since the rocking body is operated by the magnetic force acting between the magnets, the outer magnet can be surely moved regardless of the position of the space surrounding the rocking body as long as the magnetic force reaches. The oscillating body will oscillate. Further, since the rocking bodies are connected to each other through the pair of pinion gears that mesh with each other, if one rocks, the other rocking body moves reliably.

A swinging toy according to a second aspect is the swinging toy according to the first aspect, wherein the external magnet is configured to operate by a magnet operating means. For example, like the swinging toy according to claim 3, the magnet operating means is configured to rotate the external magnet or reciprocate. According to this rocking toy, since the magnet moving means is used, there is an advantage that it is not necessary for a person to move the external magnet, and if the external magnet is moved periodically, the toy rocks. The moving body can be caused to perform a periodic operation, and if the external magnet is operated irregularly, the swinging movement of the swinging body can be variously changed.

A swinging toy according to a fourth aspect is the swinging toy according to the first to third aspects, wherein the swinging body is constituted by a blade. According to this rocking toy, the pair of blades reliably flaps.

A rocking toy according to a fifth aspect is the rocking toy according to any of the first to fourth aspects, characterized in that the external magnet is internally provided in a figure such as a flower. Since this rocking toy is installed inside a figurine such as a flower, it has an excellent design.

[Embodiment of the invention]

 FIG. 1 shows a doll toy to which an embodiment of the rocking toy according to the present invention is applied. A pair of wings 2a and 2b are provided on the back of the doll 1 of this doll toy. The blades 2a and 2b are connected to a pair of pinion gears 3a and 3b which mesh with each other.

That is, the pinion gears 3a and 3b are attached to the pinion support frame 6 by means of shaft pins (not shown) such that their end faces are in a horizontal state. The pinion support frame 6 can be fitted into a recess 1a provided on the back of the doll 1.

The pinion gears 3a and 3b are integrally provided with shaft cylinders 7a and 7b (FIGS. 3 and 4) that are fitted around the shaft pins, respectively. Projecting pieces 8a and 8b, which respectively project outward in the radial direction, are integrally provided. A disk-shaped permanent magnet 9 is embedded in the protrusion 8b. In this case, a circular hole is provided in the protrusion 8b, the permanent magnet 9 is fitted therein, and the periphery of the permanent magnet 9 is fixed to the protrusion 8b with an adhesive or the like. The permanent magnet 9 has an N pole on one side and an S pole on the other side. Of course, the semicircular portion in the vertical, horizontal, or diagonal directions may be the N pole and the other portions may be the S pole. Further, the shape of the permanent magnet 9 may be any shape other than the disk shape.

Further, blades 2a and 2b are adhered to the protrusions 8a and 8b, respectively. The roots 2a and 2b are bonded to the projecting pieces 8a and 8b at the root portions. Although it is configured as an angel's wings here, it goes without saying that it may be bird's wings or insect wings. Alternatively, it may be configured as a blade of a flying body or the like.

The doll 1, the pinion gears 3a and 3b, the pinion support frame 6, the shaft cylinders 7a and 7b, the protruding pieces 8a and 8b, and the blades 2a and 2b are made of a non-magnetic material so as not to be affected by the magnetic force. It is preferable that In addition, the blades 2a and 2b are particularly formed of a resin film suitable for providing flexibility as the blade. For example, it is made of vinyl. Of course, it goes without saying that a non-magnetic material other than vinyl may be used. In addition, a stopper (not shown) is provided to restrict the rotatable range of the pinion gears 3a and 3b so that the blades 2a and 2b can be reliably flapping by the magnetic force of the external magnet 10. It is preferable.

Next, how to play the doll 1 thus configured will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, a disc-shaped external magnet (permanent magnet) 10 is rotated between wings 2a and 2b on the back side of the doll 1 about a shaft 11 extending in a direction penetrating the doll 1 in the front-rear direction. Then, the wings 2a and 2b of the doll 1 perform flapping motions. That is, in the state where the S pole of the external magnet 10 and the S pole of the magnet 9 of the protruding piece 8b face each other as shown in FIG. It rotates in a direction away from the magnet 10. When the N pole of the external magnet 10 and the S pole of the magnet 9 of the protruding piece 8b face each other, the external magnet 10 rotates, and the protruding piece 8b moves toward the external magnet 10 by an attractive force as shown in FIG. 5C. Rotate toward you.

Also, when the doll 1 is rotated slightly above or below the state of FIG. 1, the wings 2a and 2b of the doll 1 perform flapping motions. Furthermore, the wings 2a and 2b of the doll 1 also perform flapping motions when the external magnet 10 is reciprocally moved back and forth with respect to the doll 1. For example, as shown by the broken line in FIG. 1, even when the outer magnet 10 is reciprocally moved back and forth on the lower side of the doll 1, the blades 2a and 2b perform flapping motions. Further, even if the external magnet 10 is rotated around an axis extending to the left and right of the doll 1, the wings 2a and 2b of the humanoid 1 will flap. Further, even if the external magnet 10 is operated on the front side of the doll 1, the wings 2a and 2b similarly perform flapping motions. That is, in the present embodiment, the external magnet 10 exerts a magnetic force on the permanent magnet 9 while the permanent magnet 9 is axially supported, and the operation of the external magnet 10 stabilizes the permanent magnet 9. Since the positions are changed and the blades 2a and 2b perform flapping motions, the blades 2a and 2b can move in any position as long as the external magnet 9 is operated in a space where magnetic force acts. 2a and 2b will perform flapping motions.

FIG. 6 shows a second embodiment in which the external magnet 10 is rotated on the front side of the doll 1 about a horizontal axis 12 extending in the left-right direction. The external magnet 10 is rotationally driven by a rotating means such as a motor or a mainspring (not shown), or by a handle operation by a person.

According to this embodiment, by rotating the external magnet 10 at a constant speed, the blades 2a and 2b can be regularly flapped. Further, if the rotation of the external magnet 10 is changed, the blades 2a and 2b can be flapping irregularly.

FIG. 7 shows a third embodiment in which the external magnet 10 is internally provided in the flower-shaped object 13 so that its presence is not apparent. With such a configuration, the fluttering of the wings 2a, 2b of the doll 1 creates a very mysterious and fantastic world, which further enhances the entertainment. Of course, the external magnet 10 may be provided in a figure other than a flower.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to such embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention. Needless to say.

For example, in the above-described embodiment, the circular external magnet 10 composed of a permanent magnet is used to operate the wings 3a and 3b of the doll 1, but a commercially available bar magnet or a permanent magnet of any shape is used. Can be used. An electromagnet can be used instead of the permanent magnet.

In the above description, the pinion gears 4a and 4b are supported by the pinion support frame 6 via the shaft pins, respectively, but instead of the shaft pins, the pinion support frame 6 may be supported by the pivot bearings. You can

Further, although the blades 2a and 2b are operated in the above description, the present invention can be applied to oscillators other than the blades in general. For example, both hands of a baby doll can be made to oscillate, and these hands can be moved finely to the left and right, so that the baby doll behaves like beating a milk bottle between both hands.
