  Hereinafter, a wind chisel toy (hereinafter referred to as a toy) according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective explanatory view showing the appearance of the toy 1, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional explanatory view showing the inside of the main body 2 of the toy 1.
The toy 1 is a wind chisel toy provided with a glass main body 2 and a rod body (swinging member) 3 suspended from the main body 2. The main body 2 is formed in a spherical body having a space inside, and a relatively large-diameter opening 4 is formed on the lower surface, and a round hole 5 is formed on the upper surface.

  On the other hand, the rod 3 is suspended so as to protrude downward from the inside of the main body 2 through the opening 4, and is provided so as to be swingable with respect to the main body 2 within a range restricted by the opening 4. ing. The rod 3 is connected to a cylindrical light emitting portion 6 to which various LEDs (light emitting members) 12, 12... Such as a red LED and a blue LED are attached, and below the light emitting portion 6. It consists of a collision part 7 made of glass that collides with the opening 4 of the main body 2 when moving. Further, a strip 8 as seen in a general wind chime is attached to the lower end of the collision portion 7.

Further, a switch mechanism 20 for operating ON / OFF of the lighting state of the light emitting unit 6 as described later is provided inside the main body 2 and above the rod 3. In addition, a battery (main power source) 9 for supplying power to the light emitting unit 6 is provided above the main body 2, and a hanging strap 10 for hanging the toy 1 is attached to the battery 9. It has been.
The rod 3, the switch mechanism 20, and the battery 9 are connected in a series in a state of penetrating the main body 2 by a connecting member such as a string (not shown) inserted through the round hole 5.

Here, the switch mechanism 20 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is an explanatory view schematically showing the switch mechanism 20.
The switch mechanism 20 includes a conductive ring (contact portion) 21 and a conductive sphere (oscillating portion) 22 formed in a smaller diameter than the ring 21 in a storage case made of non-conductive synthetic resin or the like. The sphere 22 is connected to the rod 3 by a connecting member, and is installed so as to be able to swing in the ring 21 in synchronization with the rod 3. The ring 21 is connected to the negative electrode of the battery 9, and the sphere 22 is connected to the positive electrode of the battery 9 (through the LEDs 12, 12,...). Further, the sphere 22 is connected to various LEDs 12, 12... Attached to the light emitter 6. When the sphere 22 and the ring 21 come into contact with each other, power is supplied from the battery 9 to the LEDs 12, 12,... So that each LED 12 is lit. The spherical body 22 is fitted in the ring 21 so as to come into contact with the ring 21 as the rocking motion occurs. Therefore, when the sphere 22 is stopped, the sphere 22 and the ring 21 are in a non-contact state. Moreover, the conducting wire extending from each LED 12 is passed through the light emitting unit 6.

The operation of the toy 1 having the above configuration will be described below.
When the strip 8 of the toy 1 suspended from the ceiling or under the eaves by the hanging strap 10 starts to swing due to wind or the like, the rod 3 also swings together with the strip 8. When the spherical body 22 swings in the switch mechanism 20 and contacts the ring 21 as the rod body 3 swings, the LEDs 12, 12,... Are energized only while the spherical body 22 and the ring 21 are in contact. Then, the LEDs 12, 12. Since the spherical body 22 swings and repeats contact / non-contact with the ring 21 irregularly, each LED 12 repeats turning on / off irregularly in synchronization with the contact / non-contact timing.
Further, when the rod 3 is swung, the collision portion 7 collides with the opening 4 of the main body 2 and a tone like a conventional wind chime is produced.

According to the toy 1 as described above, since the rods 3 swing, the LEDs 12, 12.. Further, since the LEDs 12, 12,... Can be enjoyed not only to turn on / off but also tones similar to a conventional wind chime, they can be used without getting tired.
Further, in addition to making the main body 2 different in shape, material, etc., the number of LEDs 12, 12,... The personality of the toy can be emphasized more. Therefore, various types of toys 1 that are more varied can be provided to consumers.

  In addition, the structure which concerns on the toy of this invention is not limited to the aspect of the said embodiment at all, The structure which concerns on the shape of each member, a raw material, a magnitude | size, the number of installation, etc. does not deviate from the meaning of this invention. The range can be appropriately changed as necessary.

  For example, in the above embodiment, the LED is configured to emit light when the switch mechanism is turned ON / OFF, but instead of the LED emitting light, a configuration in which sound flows from a speaker, or some movable member operates. Such a configuration is also possible.

Here, the modified example will be described.
For example, when it is desired to have a configuration in which sound flows from a speaker, the main body is formed in an insect cage shape, and a decorative member imitating a bellworm or lion is installed in the main body, and the switch mechanism ON / OFF is set in the decorative member. What is necessary is just to provide the speaker (audio | voice member) which operate | moves by OFF. Then, a swinging member having a strip and a switch mechanism are provided below the insect-cage-shaped main body, and the swinging member swings when the strip receives wind or the like, so that ON / OFF is switched in the switch mechanism. In addition, it is possible to adopt a configuration in which a bell squeaks from the speaker at the timing when the switch mechanism is turned on. With such a configuration, a toy rich in taste can be provided in the same manner as the light-emitting toy.

  On the other hand, when the movable member is operated by ON / OFF of the switch mechanism, the switch mechanism is installed below the main body that also functions as a battery box, and the string-like swinging member is suspended. A configuration is conceivable in which a movable member, a strip, or the like that performs various operations (for example, a movement of a tail fin or an opening of a mouth when formed in a goldfish mold) is attached to the swing member. Then, when the strip is swung by the wind or the like, the switch mechanism is switched ON / OFF, and the movable member may be rotated at the timing when the switch mechanism is turned on. Also with such a configuration, a toy rich in taste can be provided in the same manner as the light-emitting toy.

  Furthermore, it is naturally possible to use a toy that arbitrarily combines the light emitting type, the voice type, and the movable type, and a configuration in which the swinging member does not collide with the main body (collision sound type). Can also be appropriately combined. Therefore, for example, various combinations such as a combination of a light emitting type and a movable type, a combination of a voice type and a movable type, a combination of a voice type and a collision sound type, and a combination of all are possible. Note that the voice type and movable type described in the above modification are types that do not make a collision sound, and even if the shape is described in the embodiment, the main body and the collision part are formed of synthetic resin or the like. It can be set as the structure which does not have a collision sound.

  Furthermore, in the light emitting type, voice type, and movable type toys, when a control device such as an IC chip is provided and turned on by the switch mechanism, it is controlled by the control device for a predetermined time after being turned on. The light emitting member, the sound member, the movable member, and the like can be operated. By adopting such a configuration, it becomes possible to take a complicated operation with the light emitting member, the voice member, and the movable member, and the toy of the toy is further increased. In particular, in the toy equipped with the voice member and the movable member. Has an effect that the operation can be surely and sufficiently enjoyed as compared with the case where the operation is performed only while it is ON as described in the above modification.

  In addition, in the said embodiment, although LED is employ | adopted as a light emitting member, it is naturally possible to employ | adopt the light emitting lamp which has the color filter colored in various colors instead of LED. By adopting such a light-emitting lamp, it is possible to easily change the light-emission mode simply by replacing the light-emitting lamp, and when the light-emitting lamp breaks and does not operate normally, the light-emitting lamp can be changed. It can be dealt with just by exchanging, and has the effect of facilitating maintenance work and the like.

  It is also possible to provide a main switch mechanism that switches between valid / invalid of the switch mechanism. In other words, when the main switch mechanism is not ON, the light emitting member does not emit light or the sound member does not generate sound when the swinging portion and the contact portion come into contact with the switch mechanism. it can. With this configuration, it is possible to suppress excessive power consumption. Further, the main switch mechanism can employ a pull switch, and a configuration is considered in which the main switch mechanism is switched on and off by pulling a strip or string.

  It should be noted that the configuration related to the shape and installation mode of the swinging part and the contact part in the switch mechanism can be changed naturally. For example, a cylindrical body may be adopted as the swinging part instead of the spherical body, There is no problem even if the configuration is such that a plurality of contact detection switches are installed around the sphere instead of the ring. Furthermore, in the configuration described in the above-described embodiment and modification, the switch mechanism is switched on / off when the swinging member suspended below the main body swings with respect to the main body. There is no problem even if the switch mechanism is switched ON / OFF by swinging.

It is perspective explanatory drawing which showed the external appearance of the toy. It is sectional explanatory drawing which showed the main body inside of the toy. It is explanatory drawing which showed the switch mechanism typically.
