[0010]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an overall perspective view of an embodiment of a playing toy according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, on a base 1 made of synthetic resin, four keys 2 are arranged side by side. A drum 6, which is a face, is provided. A power switch 30 is provided on the side of the base 1, and a switch 33 for music selection and a switch 34 for automatic music play are provided on the upper surface of the base 1, and the switch 34 for automatic music play is operated. When this is done, a predetermined music is played as a model.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the key. The key 2 has a shape as shown in FIG. 2, and a spring 3 is provided on the back side as shown in FIG. A depression 2a is formed. When the key 2 is pressed by a finger, the key 2 swings around the depression 2a, and the tip of the key 2 is lifted. When a finger is spoken from the key, the spring 3 returns to the original position. Hooks 2b are provided at the respective tips of the keys 2, the other ends of the elastic connecting members 21 are connected to the left and right hooks, and the other ends of the flexible connecting members 22 are connected to the middle two hooks. ing.

FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the embodiment of FIG. 1 as viewed from the side. Inside the base 1, a microcomputer 31 and a speaker 32 are built in, and these constitute an electronic sounding device. The microcomputer 31 stores a number of songs (usually, about 8 songs each consisting of 20 to 30 sounds), and has an automatic performance function. It is equipped with control means for sequentially generating sound in accordance with the flow of music by conduction during opening and closing.

As shown in FIG. 3, a switch connected to the microcomputer 31 is arranged below the key 2. Switches 35 and 36 on a pair of elongated metal elastic plates are vertically opposed to each other, and a switching plate 37 along the arrangement direction of the keys 2 is swingably mounted on the switches 35. ing. Therefore, when one of the keys 2 is pressed, the switching plate 37 is pressed and oscillates, and the switches 35 and 36 are brought into conduction so that one sound in the music previously stored in the storage device is generated. . By continuing this operation, each note is generated one by one and the melody is played.

FIG. 4 is a sectional view of the embodiment of FIG. 1 as viewed from the front, and FIG. 5 is an enlarged partial sectional view of the embodiment of FIG. 1 as viewed from the back. The doll 11 has a movable part in which the head and both arms are composed of independent components. The body 12 is formed to be hollow, and a hole 12a for inserting a flexible connecting member 22 such as a string or a thread is provided at a portion where the head 13 contacts, and the arms 14a and 14b respectively contact. Two holes 12b and 12c for inserting an elastic connecting member 21 formed of a pressing spring or a pulling spring are also provided in the portion. Further, two holes 1b and 12d having two openings for inserting the elastic connecting member 21 and the flexible connecting member 22 are also provided in a portion where the base 1 and the body 12 are in contact with each other.

Next, a connection relationship between each key and the head 13 and both arms 14a and 14b, which are movable parts, will be described. The arm 14a and the left key 2 are connected by pushing up the arm 14b and the right key by the elastic connecting member 21, respectively. The arms 14a and 14b are pivotally supported by a shaft 14c. Therefore, when the left key 2 is pressed, the arm 14a is swung down with the axis 14c as a fulcrum, and similarly, when the right key 2 is pressed, the arm 14b is swung down with the axis 14c as a fulcrum. By continuous operation, the doll swings down the torso 5 and hits the drum. The head 13 and the middle two keys 2 are stretched and connected by a flexible connecting member 22 crossed. Therefore, when the second key from the left in FIG. 4 is pressed, the flexible connecting member 22 connected to this key bends, the head tilts in the direction of arrow A, and the same as pressing the second key from the right Then, the flexible connecting member 22 connected to the key bends, the head tilts in the direction of arrow B, and the doll performs a rhythm-like operation of swinging the head left and right. In a state where each key is not pressed, the head 13 is in a state of facing the front, and the arms 14a and 14b are in a state of holding the bulge 5.

In this embodiment, the flexible connecting member 22 is crossed, but the flexible connecting member 22 connected to the two intermediate keys may be connected vertically. In this case, pressing the second key from the left tilts the head in the direction of arrow B, and pressing the second key from the right tilts the head in the direction of arrow A.

The operation of each key 2 causes the head 13 and the arms 14a and 14b corresponding to each key to operate, so that the child can cause the doll to perform the operation as desired by the child.

With the above-described configuration, the doll 11 performs an operation of taking a rhythmic feeling with the head while striking a drum according to the music by operating each key, which is extremely pleasant. In particular, while the doll performs different actions depending on each key pressed, the melody can be played reliably even if any of the keys 2 are pressed, and the melody is not mistaken, so it is a fun toy for children.

Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the present invention. For example, changing the overall shape, changing the shape, number, and arrangement of keys, changing the shape and operation of movable parts, changing the connection method between keys and movable parts, and changing the configuration of switches Can be.
