Description

  The present invention relates to a driving toy that can change a preferred coordinate part.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a so-called talking-back toy is known that records sound detected via a microphone and outputs the recorded sound from a speaker after a predetermined time has elapsed. This type of talking-back toy is as if the toy is hit by moving at least a part of the toy body, such as an animal imitated by the toy or a human mouth, when outputting recorded audio. There is a driving toy that looks like this (for example, see Patent Document 1).
On the other hand, for toys such as animals and dolls, the appearance of the toy can be improved by preparing multiple types of so-called coordination parts such as eyes and ribbons in advance and making them removable using magnets or hook-and-loop fasteners. What is changed and enjoyed is known (for example, see Patent Documents 2 and 3).
In recent years, ghost-like characters that are entirely covered with white cloth have been well received in toys.

Japanese Patent Publication No. 4-28396 Utility Model Registration No. 3082241

When making a toy imitating a ghost appear as if it is being hit at the time of talking back, the slackness of the exterior part such as white covering the outside of the toy body can be changed by expanding or contracting or rotating at least a part of the toy body. A method to make it possible is considered. However, when trying to detach various cord parts such as eyes and ribbons using the magnet with respect to the exterior part, the metal parts of the drive mechanism may be attracted to the magnet and the movement of the exterior cloth part may be hindered. There is a risk of adversely affecting electronic components and the like due to magnetic force. In addition, when a magnet is used, the weight of the magnet is much heavier than that of the exterior part, so that the exterior part is pulled downward by the weight of the magnet, and the natural movement of the exterior part may be hindered. is there. Moreover, when providing a magnet in the back side of an exterior part, there exists a subject that a small child may be unable to grasp | ascertain the attachment position of a coordination part especially.
On the other hand, when using hook-and-loop fasteners to attach and detach various coordinate parts such as eyes and ribbons, a relatively large fixing area is required to secure the fixing force so that they do not fall off during driving. There is a risk that the merchantability is reduced due to exposure. Furthermore, the hook-and-loop fastener may be hard and have a low degree of freedom of movement as compared with the exterior portion, and there is a problem that natural movement of the exterior portion in the installation portion of the surface fastener is hindered during driving.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and provides a driving toy in which a coordinate part can be easily attached and detached without disturbing the natural movement of the exterior part during driving.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention has the following configuration.
A driving toy according to the present invention includes a toy body including a flexible exterior part, a displacement part that is covered by the exterior part and moves at least a part of the exterior part from the inside, and an outer surface of the exterior part.

Moreover, by using the fitting structure of the male member and the female member, it is possible to sufficiently secure the fixing force of the cord parts with a small exposed area. And, since the attachment mechanism between the exterior part and the cord part can be reduced in size and weight by the fitting member, when the exterior part is moved by the displacement part of the toy body, the movement of the exterior part is prevented from being hindered by the fitting member. it can.
And since the fitting member can be miniaturized, when the male member and the female member are set to a size that can be hidden between the coordination part and the exterior part, the male member and the exterior part after attaching the coordination part to the exterior part Since the female member cannot be seen, the appearance can be prevented from being damaged.

Furthermore, in the drive toy according to the present invention, the fitting member may be formed of a resin material.
By comprising in this way, it becomes possible to achieve further weight reduction rather than the case where it forms with a metal material.

Furthermore, in the drive toy according to the present invention, the male member and the female member of the fitting member may be formed in a circular shape.
By comprising in this way, when fitting a male member and a female member, a coordination part can be attached to an exterior cloth part in various rotation positions around the center of a circle. In addition, the coordinated parts can be rotated even after being attached.

Furthermore, the driving toy according to the present invention may include a moderation feeling imparting section that imparts a moderation feeling when the male member and the female member of the fitting member are fitted and detached.
By comprising in this way, it can recognize by the moderation feeling provided by the moderation feeling provision part that the male member and the female member were fitted and detached appropriately.

Further, in the driving toy according to the present invention, the toy body stores a sound input from the microphone, a speaker, and the microphone, and causes the stored sound to be output to the speaker after a preset predetermined time. In addition, a talking back control unit that drives the displacement unit to move the exterior unit when sound is output from the speaker may be provided.
With this configuration, the exterior portion can be moved when the sound stored through the microphone is output to the speaker by the talking back control unit. And when moving an exterior part in this way, it can prevent that the movement of an exterior part is prevented by a fitting member.

  According to the driving toy according to the present invention, it is possible to easily attach and detach the cord parts without disturbing the natural movement of the exterior part during driving.

  The exterior cloth part 3 is formed in a bag shape having an opening below. The exterior cloth portion 3 has a sufficiently larger volume than the toy body 2, and the cushioning material 9 is interposed between the inner surface of the exterior cloth portion 3 and the outer surface of the head portion 7. The exterior cloth part 3 is formed of a relatively soft cloth (for example, a raised cloth), and even when the head part 7 is disposed at the second position disposed relatively upward, the outer cloth part 3 may be loosened. The toy body 2 is covered. For this reason, when the head cloth 7 is disposed at the first position where the head section 7 is disposed relatively downward, the slack of the exterior cloth section 3 is further increased than when it is disposed at the second position. The case where the cushioning material 9 is provided on the upper surface of the head portion 7 has been described. However, the cushioning material 9 is not limited to the upper surface of the head portion 7. The cushioning material 9 may be provided on the surface.

  Here, although illustration is omitted, a binding band accommodating portion for accommodating the binding band is formed on the periphery of the opening formed in the lower portion of the exterior cloth portion 3. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 2, a pair of vertically parallel flange portions 23 are formed on the lower periphery of the base portion 4 at intervals slightly wider than the binding band. The binding band housed in the binding band housing portion of the exterior fabric portion 3 is firmly bound by the gap between the pair of flange portions 23, so that the opening of the exterior fabric portion 3 is fixed to the lower periphery of the base portion 4. ing.

  A face portion 25 is formed on the exterior fabric portion 3 on the front side (the front side of the drawing in FIG. 1). A crescent-shaped mouth portion 26 that is concave upward is formed on the face portion 25 by embroidery or sticking. Further, a female member 29 constituting a snap (fitting member) 28 (see FIG. 4) is attached to the face portion 25 at a position corresponding to the eyes.

  Similarly, two female members 29 are attached to the exterior fabric portion 3 on the head portion 30 above the face portion 25 with a predetermined interval left and right. Further, female members 29 are respectively attached to the outer side portions 31 of the mouth portion 26 in the left-right direction of the mouth portion 26, and the neck portion 32 on the lower side of the mouth portion 26 is also at a substantially central position in the left-right direction. A female member 29 is attached.

  Here, in the driving toy 1 of this embodiment, various types of the coordinate parts 27 shown in FIG. 3 can be attached to and detached from the exterior cloth portion 3 via the snaps 28. The coordinate parts 27 (27a-27j) include a hat-shaped coordinate part 27a, a button-shaped coordinate part 27b, an eye-shaped coordinate part 27c-27e, an arm-shaped coordinate part 27f, and a wing shape. Cord part 27g, ear-shaped cord part 27h, arrow-shaped cord part 27i, tie-shaped cord part 27j, and the like. The types of the coordinate parts 27 are not limited to the above. In the following description, the coordinate parts 27a to 27j are referred to as the coordinate parts 27 except when individually specified.

  Referring also to FIG. 4, a male member 33 constituting the snap 28 is attached to the coordination part 27. The male member 33 and the female member 29 attached to the exterior cloth portion 3 are configured to be detachable, and the male member 33 and the female member 29 constitute the snap 28. For example, the snap 28 is formed in a substantially circular shape in a plan view made of a resin having the same color as that of the exterior cloth portion 3. For convenience of illustration, the illustration of the male member 33 attached to the coordinate parts 27b, 27c, 27d, and 27e is omitted in FIG.

  The male member 33 has a substantially disc-shaped main plate portion 35. On one outer surface of the main plate portion 35, a substantially cylindrical tube portion 36 whose central axis O passes through the center of the main plate portion 35 is formed to protrude. The tubular portion 36 is formed with a bulging portion 37 that bulges outward in the radial direction on the outer peripheral portion of the end opposite to the main plate portion 35 in the axial direction.

  On the other hand, the female member 29 is formed in a substantially disc shape, and a fitting recess 39 is formed on one outer surface thereof. The fitting recess 39 is formed in a round hole shape slightly larger in diameter than the cylindrical portion 36 of the male member 33. The fitting recess 39 is formed with a plurality of, more specifically, six locking projections 40 having a substantially hexagonal shape in a plan view projecting radially inward on the inner peripheral surface on the opening side. . The locking protrusion 40 is located on the base side of the bulging portion 37 of the cylindrical portion 36 at the center in the length direction of each of the six locking protrusions 40 in a state where the male member 33 is fitted to the female member 29. It will be in the state which pressed the outer peripheral surface of a little.

  Furthermore, a spherical protrusion 42 is formed on the bottom surface 41 of the fitting recess 39. When the male member 33 and the female member 29 are fitted together, the cylindrical portion 36 is guided by the protrusion 42 so that the center axis of the cylindrical portion 36 and the center of the fitting recess 39 can be aligned. Yes.

  The snap 28 has the above-described configurations, and the male member 33 is pressed toward the female member 29 from the state in which the cylindrical portion 36 of the male member 33 faces the fitting recess 39 of the female member 29, and the pressing force thereof. When the force exceeds a predetermined force, the bulging portion 37 formed at the end of the cylindrical portion 36 is elastically deformed radially inward to get over the locking protrusion 40 on the opening side of the fitting recess 39. And the bulging part 37 will move to the bottom face side of the fitting recessed part 39. FIG.

  As a result, even if a force smaller than the predetermined force is applied in the detaching direction of the cylindrical portion 36, the displacement in the detaching direction of the cylindrical portion 36 is restricted by the locking projection 40, and the male member 33 is Displacement in the direction away from the member 29 is restricted. The predetermined force is set to be larger than the force in the separating direction applied between the female member 29 and the male member 33 of the snap 28 when the electric motor M is driven.

  Further, when the bulging portion 37 recovers from the state of being elastically deformed over the locking projection 40, the outer surface of the cylindrical portion 36 collides with the locking projection 40 and a mounting sound is emitted. . Further, when the bulging portion 37 gets over the locking projection 40, a feeling of moderation can be obtained substantially simultaneously with the above mounting sound. Then, the cylindrical portion 36 of the male member 33 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape, and the fitting recess 39 of the female member 29 is formed in a substantially round hole shape, so that the male member 33 and the female member 29 are in a fitted state. Relative rotation is possible. The bulging portion 37 and the locking projection 40 constitute a moderation feeling imparting portion 44 of the present invention.

The driving toy 1 in this embodiment has the above-described configuration. Next, the operation of the driving toy 1 will be described with reference to the drawings.
First, the power switch of the driving toy 1 described above is turned ON, and the driving toy 1 is erected on the placement surface.
Then, as shown in FIG. 6A, when a sound such as a user's voice is emitted, this sound is stored as voice data via the microphone 15. At this time, so-called voice change processing such as frequency conversion is performed on the audio data. The sound is not limited to voice, and may be any sound with a detectable predetermined volume or higher.

  Thereafter, when a predetermined time set in advance by a timer (not shown) elapses, the sound subjected to the voice change process is output from the speaker 16 and at the same time, the electric motor M is driven to move the head unit 7 to the first position. Move up and down between two positions. As a result, as shown in FIG. 6B, the exterior cloth portion 3 covering the toy body 2 is repeatedly displaced between a slightly slack state and a greatly slack state, so that the exterior cloth portion 3. The cord part 27 attached to the top is shaken in the vertical direction together with the exterior cloth part 3.

  Further, once the output from the speaker 16 is finished, the driving of the electric motor M is stopped and a sound input standby state is entered. Then, when voice or the like is emitted again, the same processing as described above is repeated.

  Therefore, according to the driving toy 1 of the above-described embodiment, the position where the coordination part 27 can be attached can be easily recognized by the female member 29 provided on the exterior cloth portion 3, and therefore, especially for small children, the coordination part. Driven by the attachment impulse of 27, it is possible to enjoy the play of changing the coordinate parts 27 without explanation.

  Moreover, by using the fitting structure of the male member 33 and the female member 29, the fixing force of the cord part 27 can be sufficiently secured with a small exposed area, and the cord part 27 can be easily attached and detached. And since the attachment mechanism of the exterior cloth part 3 and the cord part 27 can be reduced in size and weight by the snap 28, the displacement part of the toy main body 2 continuously reciprocates between the first position and the second position by the drive part. In this case, it is possible to prevent the natural movement of the exterior cloth portion 3 from being hindered.

  Since the snap 28 can be miniaturized, when the male member 33 and the female member 29 are set to a size that can be hidden between the cord part 27 and the exterior cloth part 3, the cord part 27 is disposed on the exterior cloth part 3. It is possible to prevent the male member 33 and the female member 29 from being seen after being attached to and the appearance of the driving toy 1 from being damaged.

  Furthermore, since the snap 28 is formed of a resin material, it is possible to further reduce the weight as compared with the case where the snap 28 is formed of a metal material, so that the natural movement of the exterior cloth portion 3 is prevented. Further, it can be prevented.

  In addition, since the male member 33 and the female member 29 are formed in a circular shape, when the male member 33 and the female member 29 are fitted, the cord part 27 can be freely attached at various rotational positions. Furthermore, since the coordinate part 27 can be rotated after the attachment, the play of changing the coordinate part 27 can be further enjoyed.

  And since it can recognize by the moderation feeling provided by the moderation feeling provision part that the male member 33 and the female member 29 were fitted and detached, it is easy even for a small child that the coordination part 27 was attached and detached appropriately. Can be recognized.

  Further, when the sound stored through the microphone 15 is output to the speaker 16 by the talking back control unit 17, the displacement unit 25 is reciprocated by the motor M, and the outer cloth portion 3 is loosened. You can repeat the relaxed state. Then, when the state in which the exterior cloth part 3 is loosened and the state in which the exterior cloth part 3 is further loosened in this manner is repeated, it is possible to prevent the movement of the exterior cloth part 3 from being hindered by the snap 28.

The invention is not limited to the configuration of the above-described embodiment, and can be changed in design without departing from the gist thereof.
For example, although the case where the snap 28 is made of resin has been described as an example in the above-described embodiment, the present invention is not limited thereto, and may be made of a lightweight metal or the like.
Further, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the male member 33 is provided in the coordination part 27 and the female member 29 is provided in the exterior cloth part 3 has been described. However, the male member 33 is provided in the exterior cloth part 3, and the female member is provided in the coordination part 27. 29 may be provided. Further, the male member 33 and the female member 29 may be selectively used according to the position of the exterior cloth portion 3. Thereby, the position which can be mounted | worn can be restrict | limited according to the kind of coordination part 27. FIG.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the coordination part 27 is made detachable from the exterior cloth part 3 has been described. It may be.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case where the stored sound is subjected to voice change processing and is output only once from the speaker 16 has been described. However, it may be set to be repeatedly output a plurality of times. It may be possible to set the number of repetitions.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, an example in which so-called talkback is performed in which sound input to the microphone 15 is stored and the stored sound is output from the speaker 16 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration. Alternatively, for example, when a sound having a predetermined volume or more is input to the microphone 15, a sound such as a laughing voice stored in advance may be output from the speaker 16. In this way, by generating a clapping sound or the like, a sound such as a laughing voice can be output from the driving toy 1 via the speaker 16 in response to the sound.

  Further, a plurality of types of sounds may be stored in advance as sounds such as laughter, and these prestored sounds may be output in a predetermined order or randomly. Further, a changeover switch may be provided so that the user can select a mode for performing talkback and a mode for outputting prestored audio from the speaker 16. Furthermore, a sound such as a laughing voice stored in advance may be combined with the sound output at the time of talkback.

  Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the flat snap 28 is used as the fitting member has been described as an example. However, the fitting structure is not limited to the flat plate shape, for example, an earphone jack. Alternatively, a fitting structure having a relatively large depth dimension may be used. However, in the case of a fitting structure such as an earphone jack, the toy becomes larger as the depth dimension increases, so the snap 28 described above is advantageous in that the toy size is less limited.

  And in embodiment mentioned above, although the cloth-made exterior cloth part 3 was demonstrated as an example of an exterior part, the flexibility which can move at least one part from an inner side by a displacement part (head part 7). For example, an exterior part made of rubber, paper, film, or the like may be used.

  Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the head portion 7 that is the displacement portion continuously reciprocates in the vertical direction has been described as an example, but the displacement portion is configured to displace the exterior cloth portion (exterior portion) from the inside. For example, it may be configured to reciprocate or rotate in the left-right direction.

  In the embodiment described above, the case where the driving toy 1 has the appearance of a character having a ghost as a motif has been described as an example. However, the embodiment is not limited to the appearance of a character having a ghost as a motif.
