[Problems to be solved by the device]

 As a method of operating the pressing member in this bullet-launching toy, firstly, the pressing member is operated with the thumb while holding the front part of the toy body with the back of the hand facing upward and hanging the belly of the forefinger and middle finger. There are possible ways to do this. However, when the pressing member is operated in this manner, the back surface of the toy body faces the operator (player) side. In this case, the operator may twist the wrist sideways to turn the toy body sideways, but it is ergonomically difficult to twist the wrist sideways with the back of the hand facing upward. .

As a second operation method of the pressing member, the back of the hand is turned sideways and the pressure member is operated with the thumb while pressing the toy body side so that the belly of the forefinger and the middle finger are applied to the front part (abdomen). There are possible ways to do this. However, when the pressing member is operated in this manner, the back surface of the toy body faces the operator (player) side. In this case, the operator may twist the wrist sideways to turn the toy body to the side, but for example, to turn the toy body to the left when handling a bullet-launching toy with the right hand, use the back of the hand. It's even more difficult than twisting your wrist up.

Further, as a third operation method of the pressing member, a method of using both hands, holding the toy body as if taking an image of the toy body, and operating the pressing member with the other hand can be considered. In addition, as a fourth operation method, it is possible to use both hands, hold down each side of the toy body with each hand so as to shoot, and operate the pressing member with one thumb. However, if the pressing member is operated in this manner, only one bullet-launching toy can be handled, and at the same time, two bullet-launching toys can be handled and face-to-face play cannot be performed.

Although the pressing member can be operated by using the index finger instead of the thumb, it is difficult for a child to operate the pressing member with the index finger while pressing the toy body.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a bullet-firing toy that easily ejects bullets and has a wide variety of ways of playing.

[Embodiment of the invention]

 FIG. 1 shows the front of the bullet launching toy according to the first embodiment, and FIG. 2 shows the right side of the bullet launching toy. This bullet-launching toy 1 has a toy body 4 in which a doll body (a gorilla doll body) 2 carries a barrel (accessory) 3 in its left hand. The doll body 2 and the outer shell of the barrel 3 are integrally formed of an elastic soft resin such as polypropylene.

The barrel 3 is provided with a loading hole 5 whose front end is open. This loading hole 5 is configured as a circular hole. The loading hole 5 is deformed by photographing the toy body 4 from the side. Although not particularly limited, the loading hole 5 can be loaded with a spherical bullet 6 from the front end opening 5a.

Locking claws 7 are provided above and below the inner wall of the loading hole 5. The locking claw 7 may be integrally formed with the toy body 4 by using the same soft resin as that of the toy body 4, or may be separated from the toy body 4 by using the same soft resin or highly rigid resin as that of the toy body 4. It may be retrofitted on the body. The pair of upper and lower locking claws 7 lock the front portion of the bullet 6 loaded in the loading hole 5 and prevent the bullet 6 from falling out of the loading hole 5. The presence of the locking claw 7 does not hinder the loading of the bullet 6 into the loading hole 5. This is because, when the bullet 6 is loaded into the loading hole 5, for example, the toy body 4 can be taken with one hand from the side so that the locking claw 7 can be released up and down. It is also possible to deform the loading hole 5 itself by loading the bullet 6 so that the locking claw 7 is released vertically.

A coil spring 8 is provided inside the loading hole 5 as shown in FIG. The rear end of the coil spring 8 is fixed to the rear end surface of the loading hole 5. When the bullet 6 is loaded in the loading hole 5, the coil spring 8 contracts due to the pressing of the bullet 6, and the coil spring 8 stores the force. The bullet 6 loaded in the loading hole 5 is locked by the locking claw 7 in this state.

According to the bullet-launching toy 1 configured as described above, after the bullet 6 is loaded into the loading hole 5, the operator (player) can strongly pick up the toy body 4 with his thumb and other fingers. For example, since the filling hole 5 is deformed into an elliptical shape so as to be elongated in the vertical direction, the locking claw 7 is disengaged from the bullet 6 and the bullet 6 is fired from the front end opening 5a by the force of the coil spring 7.

According to this bullet-firing toy 1, the bullet 6 can be fired only by photographing the toy body 4 from the side. In other words, since the motion of photographing the toy body 4 is at the same time as the motion of pressing the toy body 4, a child 6 can easily fire the bullet 6. Further, the direction of the toy body 4 can be changed by bending or extending only the fingertips without twisting the wrist so much, so that the direction can be changed extremely easily. Therefore, the left and right hands can handle the bullet-launching toys 1 one by one, and the bullet-launching toys 1 can be faced to face each other.

It is configured by fitting, and the locking claw 7 is attached to the inner wall of the cylindrical object 12. In this case, the cylindrical member 12 may have a bottom as shown in FIG. 5, or may have no bottom. In addition, when the locking claw 7 is integrally formed with the bottomed cylindrical member 12, it is preferable to appropriately provide a cutting tool or the like. In other respects, the bullet-launching toy 1 of the first embodiment has substantially the same configuration. Therefore, in FIGS. 4 and 5, the same components as those in the first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be omitted.

According to this bullet-firing toy 10, the main part of the toy body 4 and the locking claw 7 are separate bodies, so that the structure of the manufacturing die of the toy body 4 is simplified. Further, by configuring the main part of the toy body 4 and the locking claw 7 as separate bodies, the rigidity of the locking claw 7 can be increased independently of the toy body 4. Further, if the main portion of the toy body 4 and the locking claw 7 are separately configured in this way, the firing mechanism can be unitized. Furthermore, the structure of the mold is simplified by configuring it as a separate body. Further, by configuring the main part of the toy body 4 and the locking claw 7 separately, the rigidity of the locking claw 7 can be increased without being bound by the material of the main part of the toy body 4.

FIG. 6 shows the front of the bullet launching toy according to the third embodiment.

The bullet-launching toy 20 of the third embodiment differs from the bullet-launching toy of the first embodiment in that the toy body 4 is composed only of the doll body 2, and the belly of the doll body 2 is different. The loading hole 5 is provided in the section. In other respects, the bullet-launching toy 1 of the first embodiment has substantially the same configuration. Therefore, in FIG. 6, the same components as those in the first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be omitted. The coil spring 8 provided inside the loading hole 5 is omitted.

According to this bullet-firing toy 20, the loading hole 5 is provided in the body of the doll body 2 and the bullet 5 is fired from the abdomen of the doll body 2, which is surprising and visually visible. You will be able to fully enjoy the launch game.

Finally, referring to FIG. 7, the bullet 5 will be described. The bullet 5 is made of hard resin (plastic). This bullet 5 is composed of two hemispheres 5a and 5b. Of these, the hemisphere 5a is opaque, and a cylindrical boss 50 is attached to the mating surface (flat surface) of the hemisphere 5a. On the other hand, the hemisphere 5b is transparent, and a circular hole 51 is provided in the mating surface (flat surface) of the hemisphere 5b. The boss 50 is fitted into the circular hole 51, and at that time, a seal 52 is installed on the top of the boss 50.
