Description

The present invention relates to a light-emitting toy mainly used by infants.

Conventionally, a toy having a light emitting device includes an assembly block, a ball, a hula hoop, and the like, all of which are intended for infants of a certain age.

A toy that is preferred by infants from 3 months to 2 years of age and is generally called “rattle”, and there is a toy that makes a sound and moves when it is shaken. It is desirable to have a toy that can be used.

In the present invention, when a cylindrical handle containing a power source and an electric circuit is swung, a built-in switch for closing or opening the electric circuit is operated by acceleration to be provided at one or both ends of the cylindrical handle. The light source is energized or stopped, and the light emission of the light source connected to the electric circuit is turned on or off in the light emitting unit connected so as to contain the light source.

According to the present invention, when an infant holds a light-emitting toy and shakes it, light is emitted intermittently almost in line with the rhythm, and the curiosity, beauty, and fun of the shining thing are attracted more strongly, and play is enjoyed. It becomes like this. It can also be expected to promote growth in the mind and body of infants.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to application examples shown in FIGS. FIG. 1 shows a part of the outer shape of a light-emitting toy main body and an internal cross-sectional shape as a representative example of application according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 shows an application example of a switch for detecting vibration which is a main element in an electric circuit. 3 shows another application example.

As an application example of the present invention, as shown in the external view (part) on the right side of the broken line AA in FIG. 1, the light-emitting toy body (1) has a cylindrical handle (11) and spherical light emission at both ends thereof. The case of the dumbbell shape having the portion (12) will be described. The handle (11) is made of resin, metal or paper and is sized to be easily gripped by infants, and the light emitting part (12) is a transparent or translucent resin material that transmits light emitted from the light source (4). Diffusion or coloring to make it visible from the outside. The inside of the handle (11) is hollow as shown in the left sectional view (part) of the broken line AA in the figure, and the inside of the handle (11) is mainly a power source such as a battery (2), a switch (3) (shown by a broken line) and The electric circuit (5) including the light source (4) is included, and the electric circuit (5) is set so that the power source (2) stops or energizes the driving power of the light source (4) by opening and closing the switch (3). Here, the switch (3) is provided with a sensor that is opened and closed in response to the shaking of the handle (11). The light source (4) is mainly a small light emitting body such as a light emitting diode (LED) or an incandescent light bulb, and is provided so that the inside of the light emitting section (12) can be illuminated at the end of the handle (11) as shown in FIG. . Thus, when the infant shakes the main body (1) while holding the hand (11), the switch (3) detects and closes the circuit, energizes the electrical input, and the light source (4) emits light. (12) also shines.

FIG. 2 shows an application example of the switch (3) (broken line) built in the handle (11) in FIG. The interior consists of a pendulum (31), a spring A (32) connected to the pendulum (31), and another spring, all of which are made of a conductive material such as metal, and are connected to the power source (2), the light source (4) and the electric circuit (5). When the connected handle (11) swings left and right as shown in the figure, the pendulum (31) is set to swing rightward or leftward as indicated by a touch direction arrow in FIG. When the pendulum (31) is swung in the right direction and moved as indicated by the touch direction arrow in the upper diagram of FIG. 2, the pendulum (31) and the spring B (33) are separated and the energization is performed in the “open” state as a switch. The light source (4) is not driven and is extinguished, but the normal body (1) is set to be similar to this state by the attracting action of the spring A (32) even when the main body (1) is stationary. Conversely, when the pendulum (31) is swung and moved in the left direction, the pendulum (31) contacts the spring B (33) and further presses it while compressing it to some extent. The circuit (5) is energized when the switch (3) is in the “closed” state, and the light source (4) is driven and kept on. As a result, the pendulum (31) causes the action of repeating the two open / close states as described above, and the light source (5) repeats blinking. As shown in this example, the switch (3) has sufficient power to be applied to a light source that causes a time delay in lighting such as an LED by setting the contact time between the pendulum (31) and the spring B (33) to some extent. At the same time, the lighting time can be set longer and the effect of the present apparatus can be improved. The switch (3) may of course be replaced with another type having an acceleration sensing function as long as the same effect can be obtained.

The light emitting part (12) may have a cylindrical shape or a polyhedral shape other than the spherical shape of this example of FIG. 1, and refracts the light of the light source (4) included by providing an uneven surface or a cut surface on the surface, The transmittance may be changed, diffused, or colored, or a fluorescent agent may be applied to emit a fluorescent color. The number and color of the light sources (4) can be set as appropriate, either monochromatic, multicolored or discolored.

Another embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. The light emitting part (12) is shaped like a stick with a thin elongate tip of a transparent or translucent resin material, and the inside is hollow and the light source (4) at least one end of the handle (11) is included. Alternatively, it is also possible to illuminate the portion of the light source (4) directly by irradiating the inside thereof, transmitting it, and radiating it appropriately. If the light emitting part (12) is made into a whip shape or a strap shape using a flexible material, the light emitting part flickers while being bent by shaking the handle (11), and a fantastic light emitting toy becomes possible. This is the same even if a glass fiber (not shown) is used for the light transmitting material to shine its tip, or a notch is made on the surface of the solid material and light is emitted therefrom.

In the present light-emitting toy, when the light-emitting portion is hollow, the particles (6) are appropriately enclosed inside and the main body (1) is swung to emit a collision sound with the light-emitting body wall so that the light blinks. You may make it produce a synergistic effect.

In addition, the method of emitting light in conjunction with the swing related to the present invention is not only toy for infants, but also changes the size, shape, etc. as appropriate for adults, and deploys to normal tools with swinging such as jumping, dumbbells or canes It can be expected that the flickering of light can contribute to rhythmic movement support, night vision, and improved disaster prevention effects.

It is the external view and internal sectional drawing of the luminescent toy main body of the representative example in connection with this invention. It is an application example figure of the switch which detects the vibration which is the main element in the electric circuit of the typical example in connection with this invention. It is another application example figure in connection with this invention.
