[Problems to be solved by the invention]
These top toy launchers have only dedicated launchers for right and left rotation. The reason is that the launching device requires a member for rotating the top toy and a mechanism for stopping this member, and if it is possible to rotate left and right, the internal structure becomes complicated. .
[0006]
However, when the frame play itself becomes diversified, there are many scenes where it is necessary to freely select and rotate both the left and right, and therefore, there is a demand for a toy launching device that can freely select the rotation. I have.
[0007]
An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problem and to provide a toy launching device capable of arbitrarily selecting left and right rotation.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a toy launching device according to the present invention has the following requirements.
(B) A rotating body and a pinion gear operatively connected to the rotating body are provided inside the apparatus body, and a toy mounting member projecting below the apparatus body is formed below the rotating body. In the apparatus body, two insertion passages for inserting and removing the rack belt are formed in parallel on both sides of the pinion gear. (C) The rack belt is inserted into the pinion gear when inserted into the insertion passage. (D) The top toy is configured to be detached from the mounting member when the rotation of the rotating body is stopped.
Note that the apparatus main body has a brake mechanism that allows rotation of the mounting member when the rack belt is inserted through the insertion passage, and stops rotation of the mounting member when the rack belt is not inserted. It is preferred to provide.
[0010]
The brake mechanism is provided such that the rotating body is provided so as to be movable in the axial direction, and when the rack belt is not inserted into the insertion passage, the rotating body and the toy body are engaged. It is preferable that the rotating body is formed so as to be disengaged from the toy body when the rotating body moves in the axial direction by the rack belt inserted into the insertion passage.
[0011]
Further, it is desirable that the top toy to be attached to and detached from the attachment member is constituted by assembling a plurality of members including a weight member in layers.
[0012]
Further, the top toy mounting member has a holding projection that holds the top toy and an engagement projection that engages with the engagement groove on the upper surface of the top toy, and the engagement projection is directed downward. It is good to form in trapezoid shape which becomes narrow.
[0013]
[Embodiment of the invention]
1 and 2, reference numeral 1 denotes a top toy launching device, and 2 denotes a top toy.
[0014]
The top toy launching device 1 has a rotating body 3 described below provided inside the apparatus main body 1a, and a mounting member 5 projecting below the apparatus main body 1a is formed below the rotating body 3; Then, the rotating body 3 is rotated by the rack belt 6 to release the top toy 2.
[0015]
As shown in FIG. 3, the apparatus main body 1a is formed in a box shape, and is divided into an upper chamber 7 and a lower chamber 8 by an intermediate bottom wall. The lower chamber 8 is open. On the opposite side walls of the upper chamber 7, insertion passages 9 for inserting and removing the rack belt 6 are formed on the left and right sides, respectively.
[0016]
The rotating body 3 is rotatably mounted on a rotating shaft 10 that penetrates the intermediate bottom wall of the apparatus main body 1a, and is provided on the apparatus main body 1a so as to be movable in the axial direction. It is being rushed. A short cylindrical piece 11 having a conical lower surface is fixed to a portion corresponding to the upper chamber 7 of the rotating shaft 10. The lower surface of this piece 11 is formed as a conical inclined surface 12. A pinion gear 4 is fixed to a lower portion of the piece 11. The two insertion passages 9 are formed in parallel on both sides of the pinion gear 4. The inclined lower surface 12 of the piece 11 is arranged so as to close a part of the insertion passage 9.
[0017]
With the above configuration, when the rack belt 6 is inserted into the insertion passage 9, as shown in FIG. 4, the teeth of the rack belt 6 hit the inclined lower surface 12 of the piece 11 of the rotating body 3. The rotating body 3 is lifted upward by the inclined surface 12, and thereafter meshes with the pinion gear 4.
[0018]
Next, as shown in FIG. 5, a brake mechanism for stopping the rotation of the rotating body 3 is provided in the lower chamber 8 of the rotating shaft 10. That is, the head of the piece 11 is not circular, and the projecting portions 14 are formed on the opposite sides to project slightly outward. A convex portion 15 is formed in the upper chamber of the apparatus main body 1 a so as to face the overhang portion 14. When the rotating body 3 is at the lower position (the state of FIG. 3), the protrusion 15 is engaged with the overhanging part 14 as shown by the dotted line, and when the rotating body 3 is at the upper position (the state of FIG. 4). ) Is formed at a height that does not engage. Thus, when the rotating body 3 is moving upward, the piece 11 can freely rotate, and therefore, the rotating body 3 can also freely rotate. On the other hand, when the rotating body 3 moves downward, the overhanging portion 14 of the piece 11 engages with the protruding portion 15, so that the rotation is prevented, so that the rotating body 3 cannot rotate.
[0019]
Further, as shown in FIG. 3, a mounting member 5 is formed in a lower chamber 8 of a rotating shaft 10 of the rotating body 3. Below the mounting member 5, two holding projections 16 and engagement projections 17 are formed at concentric circles facing each other at intervals of 90 degrees. The holding protrusion 16 is for holding the top toy 2 and is formed to be slightly longer so that elasticity is effective. A projection 18 is formed inside the tip of the holding projection 16. The engaging projection 17 is for rotating the top toy 2 and is formed in a trapezoidal shape narrowing downward.
[0020]
Note that, inside the lower chamber 8, two elastic loops 22 formed of a synthetic resin are fixed to the rotating shaft 10 of the rotating body 3. A protruding portion 23 is formed at an outer central portion of the elastic loop 22 so as to protrude. On the other hand, a corrugated receiving surface 15 is formed on the inner surface of the annular side wall of the mounting member 5 provided in the lower chamber 8. The wave receiving surface 15 is locked on the projection 23 of the elastic loop 22. For this reason, even when the rotating shaft 10 is forcibly stopped while the mounting member 5 is rotating, the elastic loop 22 and the waveform receiving surface 15 click and relatively rotate with a certain resistance. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the rotating body 3 from being damaged.
[0021]
The top toy 2 is formed by attaching an upper layer member 2a of the uppermost layer and a middle layer member 2b arranged below the upper layer member 2a in a layered manner. The middle member 2b is a weight member made of metal. Thus, the rotation characteristics can be changed by exchanging the members.
[0022]
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the top of the top toy 2 is provided with two holding grooves 19 which can be engaged with two holding projections 16 projecting below the rotating body 3 of the launching device. A concave groove-shaped engaging groove 20 capable of engaging with the engaging protrusion 17 is formed. The upper end 24 of the inner groove wall of the holding groove 19 protrudes slightly toward the groove. In addition, the length of the engagement groove 20 is formed slightly larger than the engagement protrusion 17.
[0023]
Next, the mode of use of the top toy launching device 1 having the above configuration will be described. When the holding projection 16 of the rotating body 3 is inserted into the holding groove 19 of the top toy 2, the tip of the holding projection 16 becomes the holding groove 19. Since the inner groove wall is held, the frame toy 2 is held without falling off. At the same time, the engaging projection 17 of the rotating body 3 is inserted into the engaging groove 20 of the top toy 2. In this state, when the rack belt 6 is inserted through the right or left passage 9 of the toy body 1a, the rotating body 3 is lifted upward as shown in FIG. Since it does not engage with the part 15, the rotating body 3 can rotate freely. Thereafter, the projection 23 of the rack belt 6 meshes with the pinion gear 4, so that the rotating body 3 rotates, and at the same time, the top toy 2 also rotates. When the rack belt 6 is sufficiently pushed into the insertion passage 9 and then the rack belt 6 is strongly pulled, the toy 2 with the rotating body 3 rapidly rotates in the opposite direction. When the rack belt 6 comes out of the insertion passage 9, the rotating body 3 descends, so that the overhanging portion 14 of the rotating body 3 and the convex portion 15 of the toy body 1a engage with each other, and the rotation of the rotating body 3 stops. I do. On the other hand, since the top toy 2 continues to rotate due to inertia, the end face of the trapezoidal engagement projection 17 of the rotating body 3 hits the end wall of the engagement groove 20 as shown in FIG. Receives a force so as to move downward, and this force exceeds the holding force of the holding projection 16, the top toy 2 is detached from the rotating body 3 while being rotated and fired, falls onto the floor surface or the like, and rotates as it is. continue.
[0024]
Similarly, when the rack belt 6 is inserted through the reverse insertion passage 9 of the toy main body, the rotating body 3 rotates in the opposite direction to the above, so that the top toy 2 can also be rotated in the opposite direction.
[0025]
[Effect of the invention]
According to the invention of claim 1, when the rack belt is inserted into one of the insertion paths, the pinion gear rotates in one direction, and the rotating body and the toy also rotate in the same direction. On the other hand, when the rack belt is inserted into the other insertion passage, the pinion gear rotates in the opposite direction, so that the rotating body and the top toy also rotate in the opposite direction. Therefore, the top toy 2 can be rotated clockwise or counterclockwise depending on which of the insertion paths the rack belt is inserted into.
[0026]
According to the invention of claim 2, a brake mechanism is provided, which allows rotation of the mounting member when the rack belt is inserted, and stops rotation of the mounting member when the rack belt is not inserted. Therefore, the top toy can be efficiently released from the rotating body and fired.
[0027]
According to the invention according to claim 3, the brake mechanism is provided such that the rotating body is provided so as to be movable in the axial direction, and when the rack belt is not inserted into the insertion passage, the rotating body and the toy body are separated from each other. The rack belt is inserted into the insertion passage so that when the rotation member is moved in the axial direction by the rack belt inserted into the insertion passage, the rotation member and the toy body are unlocked. After pulling the rack toy vigorously to rotate the top toy and pulling out the rack belt from the insertion passage, the rotating body stops because the rotating body is engaged with the toy body, so the top toy is automatically detached from the rotating body. Can be done.
[0028]
According to the invention of claim 4, since the top toy is configured by assembling a plurality of members including the weight member in a layered manner, the rotation characteristics can be changed by exchanging the members.
[0029]
According to the invention according to claim 5, the top piece of the top toy is formed with the engagement projection that engages with the engagement groove on the top surface of the top toy, and the engagement projection becomes narrower downward. The trapezoidal shape allows the engaging tongue to be easily removed from the engaging groove when the rotation of the rotating body stops, so that the top toy can be easily separated.
