[Embodiment of the invention]

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Reference numeral 1 denotes a container made of, for example, a synthetic resin for accommodating sweets such as candy, and includes a main body 2 formed in a shape of a steam engine and a lid 3 in a shape of a human face. (FIGS. 1 and 2).

[0007] At the front end face of the boiler portion 2a of the main body 2, a circular entrance 2b for taking in and out sweets is formed, and the lid 3 is detachably fitted to the entrance.

[0008] On both sides of the bogie portion 2c of the main body 2, three wheels 4 made of synthetic resin are journaled, respectively, so that the container 1 can be enjoyed by running like a steam locomotive toy. ing. In addition, 5 is a carrying belt.

The lid 3 includes a fitting base 6 that fits into the access opening 2 b of the main body 2 and a decorative plate 7 that is fixed to the front side of the fitting base 6. The moving center device A according to the first embodiment is incorporated.

The fitting base 6 has a rectangular through hole 6b formed at the center of the end face 6a, and a horizontal frame formed between the pair of vertical frame members 6c in the through hole 6b. A frame portion provided with the material 6d is formed.

In the end face 6a, fitting holes 6e, 6e for fitting the decorative plate 7 are formed above and below the through hole 6b. A flange 6f is formed along the outer peripheral edge of the end face 6a, and a lever notch 6g for projecting a manual lever 12, described later, to the outside is formed at the lower end thereof. I have.

A coin insertion slot 6h is formed on one side of the outer peripheral surface of the fitting base 6, so that the main body 2 from which the sweets are taken out can be used as a savings box. A cylindrical chimney 6i is protrudingly formed at the upper part of the outer peripheral surface thereof. Inside the chimney 6i, a sound generating device which generates a whistle sound by pressing an operation button 8 provided at the upper end of the chimney 6i is provided. (Not shown) is provided.

The decorative plate 7 has a face shape on the front side, and circular through holes 7a, 7a formed in portions corresponding to the eyes thereof.

A support frame 9 for supporting a component of the moving eye device A, which will be described in detail later, is fixed to the back surface of the decorative plate 7 and faces the fitting holes 6 e of the fitting base 6. The fixing pins 7b and 7c are protruded at the positions. A flange 7d is formed on the outer peripheral edge of the rear surface, and a lever notch 7e for projecting the manual lever 12 to the outside is formed below the flange 7d.

By fitting the fixing pins 7 b and 7 c of the decorative plate 7 into the fitting holes 6 e and 6 e of the fitting base 6, the decorative plate 7 is fixed to the fitting base 6. An opening (not shown) for projecting the manual lever 12 to the outside is formed by the lever cutouts 6g and 7e formed in contact with each other.

The support frame 9 has a vertical frame member 9c disposed between an intermediate portion between an upper horizontal frame member 9a and a lower horizontal frame member 9b disposed above and below the through holes 7a, 7a, respectively. The brackets 9d, 9d project from both ends of the upper and lower horizontal frame members 9a, 9b, respectively. Support pins 9e project from the lower surfaces of the brackets 9d, 9d of the upper horizontal frame member 9a and the upper surfaces of the lower horizontal frame members 9b, 9b, respectively.

The moving eyeball device A includes a pair of eyeball members 10, 10, a link member 11, and a manual lever 12 (FIGS. 2 and 3). The centerpiece member 10 has a relatively long lower support piece 10c on the lower side edge of a horizontally long bowl-shaped centerpiece section 10b displaying a black-eye mark 10a (FIG. 1), and a relatively short upper support piece 10d on the upper side edge. Are projected from each other. At the tip of the upper support piece 10d, there is formed a through hole 10e rotatably mounted on the support pin 9e of the bracket 9d of the upper horizontal frame member 9a of the support frame 9.

In the lower support piece 10c, a through hole 10f to be mounted on the support pin 9d of the lower horizontal frame member 9b is formed at a position facing the insertion hole 10e of the upper support piece 10d. In addition, an insertion hole 10g for rotatably inserting the connection pins 11a and 11a protruding from the lower surfaces of both ends of the link member 11 is formed at the distal end.

Therefore, when the eyeball member 10 is mounted between the brackets 9d, 9d of the support frame 9, the eyeball member 10 is in a state of being swingably supported about the support pins 9e, 9e.

The link member 11 has connecting pins 11a, 11a projecting from the lower surfaces at both ends and a connecting piece 11b hanging from an intermediate lower surface. A long hole 11c is formed.

The manual lever 12 has a cylindrical connecting projection 12a which is inserted into the connecting long hole 11c of the link member 11 at an upper end thereof. A shaft hole 12b with a boss serving as a swing center to be mounted around the fixing pin 7c is formed, and an operating pin 12c is protruded from a lower end portion. Therefore, the manual lever 12 is swingable about the bossed shaft hole 12b, that is, about the fixing pin 7c of the decorative plate 7, and the operating pin 12c is moved from the opening at the lower end of the lid 3 through the opening. It protrudes outside. Reference numeral 11d denotes a bolt member for preventing the cylindrical connection protrusion 12a inserted into the connection long hole 11c from coming off.

In the moving eye device A having the above configuration, when the manual lever 12 is swung right and left by grasping the operation pin 12c, as shown in FIG. The reciprocating movement causes the eyeball members 10 and 10 to simultaneously swing in a horizontal plane while keeping their orientations aligned with each other.

Next, a moving eyeball device B according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The moving center device B according to the second embodiment is incorporated in the lid 3 'in the same manner as the moving center device A according to the first embodiment.

The lid 3 ′ has almost the same configuration as the above-mentioned lid 3 except that the notch for lever is not formed. The description is omitted with the addition.

The moving center device B includes the pair of center members 10, 10, the link member 11, the pendulum member 13, and a metal weight 14.

Unlike the manual lever 12, the pendulum member 13 is disposed so as not to protrude outside the lid 3 ′, and has, at its upper end, a cylindrical shape inserted into the long connecting hole 11 c of the link member 11. A projection 13a is formed in the middle, and a shaft hole 13b with a boss is formed at an intermediate portion thereof so as to be mounted on the fixing pin 7c of the decorative plate 7 and serves as a swing center. 14 is fixed.

Accordingly, the pendulum member 13 is swingable about the bossed shaft hole 13b, that is, about the fixing pin 7c of the decorative plate 7, and the pendulum member 13 is formed by the lid 3 'itself. Alternatively, it swings by swinging the main body 2 fitted with this. The link member 11 reciprocates right and left in accordance with the swing, whereby the eyeball members 10 and 10 swing simultaneously in a horizontal plane in a state where the eye members 10 are aligned with each other.

The present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the invention. In the above description, a configuration in which a pair of centerpiece members are swingably supported in a horizontal plane has been described. However, a configuration in which the centerpiece members are swingably supported in a vertical plane may be employed.

[0029]

[Effect of the invention]

 According to the invention of claim 1 or 3, a pair of centerpiece members are swingably connected to both ends of the link member, and the link member is supported by the link member so as to swing around an intermediate portion. Since the upper ends of the manual levers are connected to each other, the pair of eyeball members can be manually swung in a state where they are aligned in the same direction and with regularity.

According to the invention as set forth in claim 2 or 4, the pair of eyeball members are swingably connected to both ends of the link member, and the link member is free to swing around the intermediate portion. The upper end of the pendulum member supported by the pendulum member is connected, and the weight is fixed to the lower end of the pendulum member. It can be made to swing at the same time, with a regularity.
