Description

  The present invention relates to a cheering tool used in sports watching such as watching a professional baseball game, and more particularly, to a bat-type cheering tool used by swinging or hitting.

  The bat-type cheering tool is used by shaking or striking as described above, but there is nothing that has other functions except for the megaphone type with both ends opened.

  By the way, in professional baseball games, balloons called “jet balloons” (registered trademark) are blown all at once when seven attacks start.

  This balloon-blowing is one of the big events in watching professional baseball games. Many audiences are looking forward to this moment.

  However, the work of inflating a balloon requires a breathing force and vital capacity, and is generally difficult for women and children.

  Also, when working to inflate, he cannot speak and cannot eat or drink.

  In addition, usually, the balloon is inflated until the moment it is blown, and the timing is waited with the thumb holding the base of the balloon. I felt painful to have in the state of. Also, while I was waiting, I couldn't use my hands freely, combined with fatigue of my hands, and sometimes unintentionally released the balloons earlier than I had to fly.

In addition, the bat type balloon launching apparatus of the following patent document 1 which inflates and fires a balloon is proposed. In this case, a manual air pump is built in a cylindrical main body formed in a bat shape. The cylindrical main body is configured by combining two halved split bodies, and a grip handle is attached to the lower end of the shaft of a manual air pump that discharges from the lower end of the cylindrical main body. In other words, this bat-type balloon launcher has a configuration in which a manual air pump is covered with two halves, and a manual air pump that can be used alone is indispensable. For this reason, in manufacturing, a manual air pump and a plurality of members covering the manual pump must be manufactured, the number of parts is increased, the structure is complicated, and the weight is heavy. Also, because it has a launcher, it cannot be shaken or struck. In other words, it can only be used to inflate and fire balloons.
JP-A-2005-230112

  Therefore, the main object of the present invention is to provide a bat-type cheering tool that is simple and light in structure, has impact resistance, and can be used for purposes other than inflating a balloon.

  A means for that is a bat-type cheering tool having a bat shape that is used by shaking or hitting, and is provided with a straight linear portion having the same diameter cylindrical shape having an opening at one end. A body case in which a deformed portion having a smaller or larger diameter than the linear portion is provided directly or indirectly, a closing plate fixed to the opening of the body case and closing the opening, and the closing plate An air ejection nozzle provided on the piston head, a piston head that moves forward and backward in the linear portion with respect to the closing plate, and ejects air from the air ejection nozzle, and a piston head is fixed to the piston head so that the piston head reciprocates. A bat-type cheering tool having a piston rod to be moved.

  That is, when the piston head provided in the linear portion of the main body case is reciprocated by the piston rod with respect to the closing plate, the air pushed by the piston head is ejected from the air ejection nozzle provided on the closing plate. .

  For this reason, when the balloon is inflated, the piston rod may be operated with the balloon mouthpiece attached to the air injection nozzle. Unlike inflating with breath, women and children can have fun while inflating. Moreover, when it is inflating, it can also raise a voice and cheer or eat and drink. Furthermore, if the inflated balloon is left attached to the air ejection nozzle, it is not necessary to hold the base portion of the balloon with the thumb, and it is possible to easily wait until the timing when the balloon should be released.

  In addition, the necessary members such as the closing plate have a simple configuration that is stored directly in the main body case, so that the necessary members can be reduced, the manufacturing work can be facilitated, and the cost can be reduced. , Can reduce the weight. For this reason, the function as a cheering tool used by shaking and hitting can be exhibited.

  In addition, about said means, it can comprise in the following aspects.

One of the embodiments is such that the air ejection nozzle is formed on the head side of the bat in the main body case, and a phantom member imitating the grip or grip end of the bat is fixed to the proximal end portion of the piston rod. .
That is, since the air ejection nozzle is provided on the head side of the bat-type cheering tool and the portion for operating the piston rod is provided on the grip side, the operation can be performed with the bat held in a normal posture. For this reason, it is convenient because you do not need to switch between when you support and when you inflate balloons.

In another aspect, the air ejection nozzle is formed on the grip side of the bat in the main body case, and a figure-like member imitating the head side portion of the bat is fixed to the base end portion of the piston rod. .
That is, an air ejection nozzle is provided on the grip side of the bat-type cheering tool, and a portion for operating the piston rod is provided on the head side, so that the bat is upside down rather than having a normal posture The operation is possible. For this reason, with the bat-type cheering device head side pressed against the seat surface of the seat seat or an appropriate surface in the vicinity, or held between both knees, the grip side part is reciprocated with the balloon. You can move it and inflate balloons. As a result, it can be operated with one hand. For example, if each hand has a bat-type cheering tool, it is possible to inflate two balloons at a time, which is convenient.

In another aspect, the main body case is made of a synthetic resin molded product having a cylindrical shape.
That is, since the structure is not a combination of halved members, it is possible to obtain impact resistance and durability not only when air is injected but also when it is shaken or hit.

In another aspect, when the piston head is reciprocated, a joining means for maintaining a mutual joining state is provided on or in the vicinity of the opposing surfaces of the parts that contact and separate from each other. As the joining means, a fitting portion made of a soft synthetic resin having a cylindrical shape, a screw structure, a surface fastener, or the like can be adopted.
That is, if the parts that are in contact with each other are joined by the joining means, the bat-type cheering tool does not unexpectedly extend when the bat-type cheering tool is shaken or hit, and can be used safely.

The other one of the aspects is provided with a whistle member that can be attached to and detached from the air ejection nozzle part and emits a sound when air is blown in. The whistle member may be moored with a string member or a chain member and stored in an appropriate part such as a grip end part.
That is, if the whistle member is attached to the air ejection nozzle, a sound can be produced by operating the piston rod. Moreover, various sounds such as a low sound and a high sound can be produced depending on the structure of the whistle member. That is, in addition to supporting by shaking or hitting, it is possible to support with a sound that cannot be produced by such an operation, and there is an advantage that the function can be expanded.

  As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to obtain a multifunctional bat-type cheering tool that can inflate a balloon and can also swing and strike.

An embodiment for carrying out the invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a bat-type cheering tool 11 (hereinafter referred to as “cheering tool”), and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view thereof.

  As shown in these drawings, the cheering tool 11 has a hollow structure and includes necessary members therein, and is configured such that air is ejected from the head side when the grip side is pulled or pushed.

  That is, a body case 21 having a circular cylindrical shape with openings 22 and 23 at both ends, and a closing plate 31 that is fixed to the opening 22 at one end (head side) of the body case 21 and closes the opening 22. And a piston 41 accommodated in the main body case 21 so as to be capable of reciprocating so as to face the closing plate 31.

  The main body case 21 is made of a synthetic resin molded product, has the opening 22 at one end, and has a linear portion 24 having an inner diameter that is the same within a predetermined length, and is integrally connected from the linear portion 24. The tapered surface portion 25 having a diameter gradually smaller than the linear portion 24 and the grip surface portion 26 that is integrally provided from the tapered surface portion 25 and extends substantially linearly without becoming thicker than the linear portion. is there.

  The disc-shaped closing plate 31 that closes the opening 22 is fixed to the opening 22 of the linear portion as described above. Fixing is performed for half of the thickness of the blocking plate 31, and the other half is in a state of protruding from the main body case 21.

  An air ejection nozzle 32 that protrudes outward is provided in the center of the closing plate 31. That is, when air is pushed in from the inside of the closing plate 31, the air is ejected from the tip of the air ejection nozzle 32. Although not shown, the air ejection nozzle 32 incorporates a check valve, and the air that has passed through the air ejection nozzle 32 does not return.

  Further, the tip of the air ejection nozzle 32 has a conical surface 33 that is inclined so as to become thinner toward the tip. The conical surface 33 is a portion for attaching the base portion 82 of the balloon 81 and the like. For the purpose of temporarily locking the base portion 82 or the like to the conical surface 33, for example, when the base portion 82 or the like is pressed against the conical surface 33, for example, when the base portion 82 or the like is pressed against the conical surface 33 A protrusion that fits in and is released when force is applied in the opposite direction, a spiral groove that locks when twisted in one direction and disengages when twisted in the other, and a rubber member that stops the base portion 82 etc. by elastic displacement and frictional resistance Can be provided.

  A cover member 35 having a hollow hole 34 at the center of the tip is integrally fixed to the main body case 21 so that the conical surface 33 protrudes and other portions are hidden. The cover member 35 has a bowl shape having an opening 36 having the same size as the opening 22 of the main body case 21 and has a shape simulating a bat head. The cover member 35 is fixed to the protruding portion of the closing plate 31. The cover member 35 and the main body case 21 and the closing member 31 are firmly integrated with each other by performing an adhesive, a welder, etc. in addition to fixing such as fitting.

  A disc-shaped end cap 28 having an insertion hole 27 in the center is fixed to the opening 23 on the grip surface portion 26 side of the main body case 21, and the piston rod 42 of the piston 41 is slidably held.

  The piston 41 has a piston head 43 provided in the linear portion 24 of the main body case 21 so as to oppose the closing plate 31, and the above-described piston rod 42 having a tip end fixed to the piston head 43.

  The piston head 43 has a disc shape and is formed to have a predetermined outer diameter according to the inner diameter of the linear portion 24, and an O-ring 44 is held on the outer peripheral surface.

  The piston rod 42 is fixed to the center of the piston head 43. The fixing is performed by screwing the screw member 45 from above the piston head 43 so that the piston head 43 does not fall off unexpectedly even when the piston 41 is pulled. Other suitable fixing structures may be used.

  A male thread portion 46 is formed at the proximal end of the piston rod 42, and a grip end member 47 simulating the grip end of the bat is fixed. Other appropriate fixing structures that are not screwed can also be adopted, or they can be integrally formed.

  Further, the upper end of the grip end member 47 is formed flat, and when the piston 41 is pushed in and the piston head 43 is brought close to the closing plate 31 as shown by an imaginary line in FIG. The upper end surface is formed so as to contact the end cap 28 of the main body case 21. The length of the piston rod 42 is also set so that it is possible.

  Although not shown in the drawings, the main body case 21 is appropriately decorated by being coated with decorative sheets having various designs such as a shrink film, if necessary.

  In the cheering tool 11 configured as described above, when the piston rod 42 having the grip end member 47 is pushed or pulled while the grip side is held in a posture toward the front, the piston head 43 of the piston 41 is attached to the body case 21. The linear portion 24 (within the range of the portion s in FIG. 3) reciprocates. When the piston 41 is pushed in, air is ejected from the air ejection nozzle 32.

  For this reason, when the balloon 81 as shown in FIG. 1 is held by hand with its base 82 attached to the conical surface 33 of the air ejection nozzle 32, the operation of pushing and pulling the piston rod 42 is repeated. Balloon 81 inflates. After the balloon 81 is inflated, it is only necessary to wait for the moment when the balloon 81 is blown, with a hand attached so that the base portion 82 of the balloon 81 does not fall off the air ejection nozzle 32.

  Thus, since the balloon 81 can be inflated without breathing in, women and children can inflate while having fun. In addition, when the balloon 81 is inflated, it is possible to raise a voice and cheer or eat and drink. Further, if the inflated balloon 81 is left attached to the air ejection nozzle 32, it is not necessary to hold down the base portion 82 of the balloon 81 with the thumb, and it is possible to easily wait until the timing when the balloon 81 should be released. It is possible to avoid missing the timing of the launch.

  In addition, the necessary members such as the closing plate 31 are simply configured to be stored directly in the main body case 21 that forms the bat, so that the necessary members can be reduced, thereby facilitating the manufacturing operation and reducing the cost. It is possible to reduce the weight. For this reason, the function as the cheering tool 11 used by shaking and hitting can also be exhibited.

Hereinafter, other examples will be described with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the cheering tool 11 with increased durability so that no load is applied to each part when the piston 41 is operated. That is, when the piston 41 is pushed in, the piston head 43 and the closing plate 31 or the grip end member 47 and the end cap 28 of the main body case 21 do not collide with each other on the grip end member 47 side of the end cap 28. A compression coil spring is held on the surface to form a pressing buffer 51.

  Further, when the piston 41 is pulled, the length of the piston rod 42 is set so that the piston head 43 hits the grip-side end of the linear portion 24 so that an unreasonable load is not applied to the connecting portion of the piston head 43 and the piston rod 42. A flange 48 is provided at a position corresponding to the upper surface of the end cap 28 of the main body case 21 when it is pulled out to the pull-out limit position, and a compression coil spring is provided on the lower surface of the flange 48. The drawer buffer 52 is held.

By having the pushing buffer portion 51 and the pulling buffer portion 52 in this way, a buffering action is made at the start and end points of the reciprocating motion of the piston 41, so that an unreasonable load is not applied to each portion. Damage can be prevented.
In addition to the above, for example, a sponge or rubber can be used as each buffer.

  FIG. 5 shows an example in which a joining means for joining and holding the opposing portions of the portions that contact and separate from each other, that is, the opposing surfaces or the vicinity thereof, is provided when the piston 41 is reciprocated. The joining means is appropriately formed according to the form of the portion where this is to be provided. In the case of the structure shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, for example, the joining means is configured as follows.

  That is, a fitting tube portion 47 a that fits to the main body case 21 is formed on the grip end member 47 that is relatively close to and away from the end cap 28 side of the main body case 21. The fitting cylinder portion 47a is formed of a soft synthetic resin, and is formed in such a size that it can be fitted when pressed into the main body case 21 and the state is maintained. In addition to this, it is possible to provide a screw structure that is screwed together, or to fix a locking means such as a hook-and-loop fastener on opposing surfaces that are close to each other.

  When the joining means is provided in this way, the cheering tool 11 does not extend unexpectedly when the cheering tool 11 is shaken or hit, and can be used safely.

  FIG. 6 is an example provided with a whistle member 61 that can be attached to and detached from the air ejection nozzle 32 and emits a sound when air is blown. As shown in FIG. 6A, the whistle member 61 has a cylindrical shape and includes a lead 62 inside. In addition to this type having the lead 62, an appropriate whistle member such as a whistle type can be used. Although not shown, the whistle member 61 may be anchored at an appropriate site by attaching a mooring member such as a string. Further, in order to be able to store the whistle member 61 when not in use, a cavity 47b is formed in the grip end member 47 as shown in the figure, and a holding member 47c made of a leaf spring is held in the cavity 47b, As shown in FIG. 6B, the whistle member 61 can be detachably held.

  When the whistle member 61 is provided in this way, a sound can be produced if the piston 41 is pushed in with the whistle member 61 attached to the air ejection nozzle 32. In addition, various sounds such as a low sound and a high sound can be produced by the structure of the whistle member 61. That is, in addition to supporting by shaking or hitting, it is possible to support with a sound that cannot be produced by such an operation, and it is possible to expand the functions.

  FIG. 7 shows an example in which the cheering tool 11 is connected to the two cheering tool carriers 11a and 11a by the chain member 48 to form a nunchaku. Since each cheering implement carrier 11a has the same configuration as the cheering implement 11 shown in FIG. 1, the same reference numerals are given and detailed description of the structure is omitted. A protrusion 47d is provided on the bottom surface of the grip end member 47, and the end of the chain member 48 is fixed. Moreover, the form of the main body case 21 is longer than that shown in FIG. 1, and is suitable for a form such as a nunchaku.

  With the cheering tool 11 configured in this way, two balloons can be inflated simultaneously with one cheering tool 11. In addition to being used by one person, it may be used by two persons. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 8, it is also possible to support and cheer the support tool carriers 11a.

  FIG. 9 is an example in which the air ejection nozzle 32 is formed on the grip side of the bat in the main body case 21, and a head member 49 simulating the head portion of the bat is fixed to the proximal end portion of the piston rod 42. In the description, the same components as those described above are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

  That is, the main body case 21 has a linear portion 24 and an integral tapered surface portion 25 that gradually increases in diameter from one end of the linear portion 24, and the linear portion 24 is a portion corresponding to the grip of the bat. Is set. A closing plate 31 is fixed to the opening 22 on the grip end side in the linear portion 24, and the piston head 43 of the piston 41 is slidably held so as to advance and retreat with respect to the closing plate 31. Yes. The closing plate 31 is provided with an air ejection nozzle 32, and its conical surface 33 projects from the bottom surface of the cover member 35 simulating the shape of a grip end. An end cap 28 having an insertion hole 27 at the center is fixed to the opening 23 of the tapered surface portion 25 in the main body case 21.

  A flange-like portion 42a projecting in the outer circumferential direction is formed at the intermediate portion of the piston 41 in the length direction of the piston rod 42. The flange-like portion 42a abuts on the end cap 28, whereby the piston of the piston 41 The head 43 is prevented from falling off the linear portion 24.

  The head member 49 fixed to the base end portion of the piston rod 42 is formed in a bottomed cylindrical shape. A fixing member 49a is fixed to the opening of the head member 49, and the piston rod 42 is fixed to the fixing member 49a. The fixing member 49a may be in the shape of a disk, but may have other forms as long as the piston rod 42 can be firmly held.

  In the cheering tool 11 configured in this way, air can be ejected by holding the head of the bat toward the front and reciprocating the head member 49, but as shown by the phantom lines in FIG. The main body case 21 can be reciprocated and air can be ejected while standing on the seating surface of the seat and the other flat surface portion 91. That is, when the balloon is inflated, the main body case 21 can be reciprocated with a hand holding the balloon, so that the balloon can be easily inflated with one hand.

  For this reason, for example, it is convenient to have two balloons inflated at a time by holding the cheering tool 11 in both hands. It is also possible to eat and drink.

  Further, the head member 49 can be held between both knees to inflate the balloon. Even if it is attempted to hold the grip side between both knees, the grip side cannot be thickened because it cannot be thickened, but the head member 49 on the head side can be thickened. It can be held firmly and can be easily and reliably operated.

  FIG. 10 shows another example in which the air ejection nozzle 32 is formed on the grip side of the bat in the main body case 21 and the head member 49 imitating the head side portion of the bat is fixed to the proximal end portion of the piston rod 42. Is shown.

  That is, FIG. 10A shows that the main body case 21 is formed with a linear member 21a constituting the linear part 24 and a tapered surface part 25 which is fixed to the outer periphery of the linear member 21a and gradually increases in diameter. It is the example comprised with the member 21b. The linear member 21a and the taper surface portion forming member 21b are molded separately and then firmly integrated by adhesion or welding. That is, the linear part 21a in which the piston head 43 reciprocates can be formed long. If comprised in this way, it is possible to increase the quantity of the air ejected by one operation. The other structure is the same as that of the cheering tool 11 shown in FIG.

  FIG. 10B is an example in which the tapered surface portion 25 of the main body case 21 is indirectly provided with respect to the linear portion 24 so as to be separated during the air ejection operation. That is, the grip portion is formed by the linear member 21 a constituting the linear portion 24, and the tapered surface portion forming member 21 b constituting the tapered surface portion 25 is fixed to the head member 49. At this time, the base end portion of the piston rod 42 of the piston 41 is attached to a fixing member 49a that is fixed to a portion between the taper surface portion forming member 21b and the head member 49 to be integrated, thereby obtaining a firm state of each portion. I am doing so. In the cheering tool 11 having such a configuration, if the piston rod 42 of the piston 41 is detachable from the fixing member 49a of the head member 49 with, for example, a screw or the like, one cheering tool 11 is separated as necessary. It can be used at the same time, inflating balloons and cheering by shaking and striking.
