It is preferable that the weight member displays a design or the like on its upper surface, and the upper layer member is formed of a transparent material.

[Detailed description of the invention]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 In FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 1 indicates a top toy. The toy body 2 of the top toy 1 has a base member 3, an upper layer member 4, and a weight member 5 sandwiched between the members 3 and 4, and is engaged with the three members 3, 5, and 4. The three members 3, 5, 4 are combined and integrated by engaging the member 6.

As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 3, the base member 3 has a structure in which an annular flange 9 is provided around a conical bottom 8 provided with a rotation shaft 7 at the center. An outer opening groove 10 is provided around the flange 9 so that the vertical piece described later of the engaging member 6 and the positioning piece described later on the upper layer member 4 are engaged with each other.

The lower end of the rotating shaft 7 provided on the bottom 8 of the base member 3 is formed on a flat surface 11 as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 5 (b), it is formed into a pointed shape 12 and is brought into contact with the concave surface of the amusement board at the vertex, or as shown in FIG. 5 (c), a compromise between the pointed shape 12 and the plane 11 It is formed into a shape 13 so as to make contact with the concave surface of the amusement table described below at the periphery of a small flat surface. Therefore, three types of base members 3 having different shapes of the lower end of the rotating shaft 7 are prepared and used by replacement.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the upper layer member 4 has a plurality of protrusions 14 protruding therearound at predetermined intervals, and a vertical piece described later of the engaging member 6 is engaged between the protrusions 14. A pair of outer opening grooves 15 to be combined with each other, and positioning pieces 16 to be engaged with the outer opening grooves 10 of the base member 3 and the later-described outer opening grooves of the weight member 5 are provided. A recess 17 into which about half of the thickness is fitted is formed.

The protrusions 14 provided around the upper layer member 4 change the rotational characteristics of the top toy 1 depending on the shape, number, and the like. Therefore, it is preferable to prepare various types of upper layer members 4 having different shapes and numbers of the convex portions 14 so that the upper layer members 4 can be exchanged and used.

Further, the upper layer member 4 is formed using a material such as a transparent synthetic resin so that a design or the like (not shown) displayed on the weight member 5 can be seen therethrough.

The weight member 5 is formed of a material having a large specific gravity, such as a metal, as shown in FIG. 3 in order to impart rotational inertia to the top toy 1, and about half of the thickness is an upper layer member as shown in FIG. 4 is a fitting portion 18 to be fitted into the concave portion 17, and the other half, which is larger in area than the fitting portion 18, is a holding portion 19 for holding the upper layer member 4 and the base member 3 between the upper layer member 4 and the base member 3. An outer opening groove 20 for engaging the vertical piece described later of the engaging member 6 with the positioning piece 16 of the upper layer member 4 is formed around the outer periphery. Then, a protruding edge 21 is turned around the upper surface, and a design (illustration omitted) is displayed in the protruding edge 21.

It is preferable that the weight member 5 displays a pattern such as a character (not shown) on the upper surface to convert the image of the toy 1. It is preferable to prepare several kinds of different patterns so that they can be used interchangeably.

As shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, the engaging member 6 extends from the lower end of a horizontal piece 23 having a knob shaft 22 on the upper surface at the center to the outer opening groove 15 of the upper layer member 4, A pair of vertical pieces 24 that engage with the outer opening groove 18 of the weight member 5 and the outer opening groove 10 of the base member 3 are suspended, and the lower inner side of these vertical pieces 24 has a slope projecting inward toward the upper side. 25 and a horizontal claw 27 which is located at the upper end of the slope 25 and engages with the lower surface of the annular flange 9 of the base member 3.

When the vertical piece 24 of the engaging member 6 is engaged with the outer opening grooves 15, 20, 10, the vertical piece 24 is deflected outward by the action of the inclined surface 25 of the locking claw 27 and moves to the outer opening groove 15. When the horizontal step 26 of the locking claw 27 is disengaged from the edge of the outer opening groove 10 by proceeding through the outer opening grooves 20 and 10, the warp returns to move the horizontal step 26 to the lower surface of the annular flange 9 of the base member 3. Must be engaged. For this reason, the engaging member 6 is formed of a material such as an elastic synthetic resin.

If the knob shaft 22 erected on the engaging portion 6 has a smooth surface, it slips when being pinched and turned with the thumb and the finger and cannot be turned properly. Therefore, unevenness 28 for stopping the slip is formed on the surface of the knob shaft 22.

The play board 29 for the top toy 1 has a circular shape in plan view as shown in FIG. 6, with a low edge 30 around the periphery, and the bottom portion is lower at the center than at the periphery. It is formed as a concave surface 31. For this reason, the rotated top toy 1 naturally descends to the center.

Hereinafter, a usage mode of the top toy 1 having the above configuration will be described. When the three members 4, 5, and 3 are laminated by positioning the outer opening groove 20 of the weight member 5 and the outer opening groove 10 of the base member 3 on the positioning piece 16 of the upper layer member 4, The outer opening grooves 15, 20, 10 of each member 4, 5, 3 which engage the vertical piece 24 are correctly aligned. Then, when the vertical piece 24 of the engagement member 6 is pushed into the outer opening grooves 15, 20, and 10 from the uppermost outer opening groove 15 side, the vertical piece 24 engages the slope 25 of the locking claw 27 with the outer opening groove 15. In order to fit together, it enters the outer opening groove 15 by warping with elasticity, advances through the outer opening grooves 20 and 10, and restores when the horizontal step 26 of the locking claw 27 comes off from the lower end of the lowermost outer opening groove 10, The horizontal step 26 is engaged with the lower surface of the annular flange 9 of the base member 3. For this reason, the upper layer member 4, the weight member 5, and the base member 3 are combined and integrated by the engaging member 6 to constitute the top toy 1.

In this frame toy 1, when the knob 22 erected on the engaging member 6 is pinched with two fingers and the two fingers are quickly slid in the opposite direction, a rotational force is applied to the pin 22. The toy 1 is rotated by hand. When the rotated toy 1 is dropped on the play board 29, the toy 1 naturally falls on the concave surface 31. If the top of the toy 1 is a flat surface 11 due to the shape of the lower end of the rotating shaft 7, the periphery of the bottom surface 11 contacts the concave surface 31 as shown in FIG. While turning, the game board 29 rapidly turns as shown by the arrow with the wing. Therefore, if two frame toys 1 are put into the play board 29, they will collide with each other, and the top toy 1 having excellent rotation characteristics will flip out the inferior top toy 1. You can enjoy playing to compete for strength.

When the lower end of the rotating shaft 7 has a pointed shape 12, the top of the pointed shape 12 contacts the concave surface 31 as shown in FIG. In order to keep rotating stably at a fixed position, two toys 1 can be put into the play board 29 to compete with each other for which of the toys 1 has a long rotation life. Further, when the lower end of the rotating shaft 7 is an eclectic shape 13 of the pointed shape 12 and the flat surface 11, the periphery of the small flat surface of the eclectic shape 13 is in contact with the concave surface 31 as shown in FIG. The rotation speed of the robot 1 while rotating is slowed down, which is suitable for an infant to play.

Next, when it is desired to change the rotation characteristic or image of the top toy, the horizontal step 26 of the locking claw 25 of the vertical piece 24 of the engaging member 6 is moved from the lower surface of the annular flange 9 of the base member 3. When the engaging member 6 is removed and pulled up, the vertical piece 24 comes off from the outer opening grooves 10, 20, and 15, so that the base member 3, the weight member 5, and the upper layer member 4 are disassembled. On the other hand, an upper layer member having a different outer shape (for example, a square or an octagon), a base member 3 having a different lower end shape of the rotating shaft 7, and a weight member 5 having a different design or the like are used. It is possible to easily change the rotation characteristics and the image of the top toy 1 arbitrarily.

[Effect of the invention]

 According to the invention of claim 1, the toy body is formed by laminating the upper layer member, the weight member, and the base member, and when the engaging members are engaged, the three members are integrated and provided on the engaging member. It can be rotated by hand with a knob, and if the engaging member is removed, the three members are disassembled and rotated by replacing the upper layer member with a different outer shape and the base member with a different shape at the lower end of the rotating shaft. It is easy to change the characteristics or change the image by replacing the weight member with a different design with a small child's hand, and because the toy body can be made smaller, it can be played in a small space, There is no danger of injury if the skipped toy hits the body.

According to the invention of claim 2, when a plurality of top toys are rotated and released on the game console, the toys naturally move to the center of the concave surface and collide with each other, so that the player can enjoy the battle game. .

In addition, since the lower end of the rotating shaft is formed in any one of a plane, a pointed shape, or an eclectic shape of a plane and a pointed shape, it is possible to replace the rotating shaft with one having the most suitable rotation characteristic according to the scene. it can.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, since the upper layer member is transparent, a design or the like on the upper surface of the weight member can be seen through from above the upper layer member. You can change the image of toys.
