In addition, a coil is disposed below the magnet in the base, and the coil is intermittently excited so as to repel the magnet. A fixing means for stopping and fixing the swing is provided, and the fixing means fixes the swing member at the center of the swing.

  Further, the swing member is composed of a figure formed to imitate a flower and a shaft formed to imitate a stem, and the figure is linked to fixing of the swing member by the fixing means. And make the petals close.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, since a mechanical mechanism such as a motor or a gear is not required, it is possible to realize an operation toy that heals the heart without worrying about operation noise , and swings with a fixing means. The swinging of the member can be stopped, and in the fixed state, the swinging member is fixed at the center of swinging, so it is easy to put in the package one by one and it does not move in the package Therefore, it is possible to prevent the product from being damaged by hitting the inner wall of the package.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, when the swinging member is swinging, the petal opens, and when the swinging member is fixed so as not to swing, the petal closes in association with the fixing and expresses another expression. The toy can be enjoyed both when it is operating and when it is stopped.

  FIG. 1 shows an example of an action toy according to the present invention. In this action toy, a swing member 2 swings left and right on a base 1, and the swing member 2 is formed to imitate a flower. Yes.

The oscillating member 2 includes a figure 3 that is shaped like a flower, a hollow shaft 4 that supports the figure 3 and is shaped like a flower stem, and the inside of the base 1. The wire 7 is inserted into the shaft body 4, and the tip of the wire 7 is connected to an opening / closing mechanism 9 that opens and closes the petals 8 constituting the shape body 3. Linked (see FIG. 2) , the lower end is fixed to an operating shaft 10 arranged to be movable up and down in the holding body 6 holding the magnet 5 (see FIG. 3) .

  The holding body 6 is pivotally supported by bearings 31 and 32 formed on support members 24 and 25, which will be described later, with a support shaft 11 projecting back and forth. A fitting recess 12 into which the magnet 5 is fitted is formed at the bottom.

  The center of the operating shaft 10 penetrates up and down, and the lower end of the wire 7 is inserted into the through-hole and fixed by an appropriate fixing means such as an adhesive or a screw. The vertical movement of the operating shaft 10 is performed via the wire 7. Thus, the opening / closing mechanism 9 is operated. Engagement shafts 13 are formed on both side surfaces of the operation shaft 10 so that the operation shaft 10 can be pushed down by pushing down the engagement shaft 13 by operating an operation lever 35 described later.

The opening / closing mechanism 9 opens and closes a petal 8 formed by imitating a petal by cutting the periphery of a disk made of a flexible resin . As shown in FIG. 4 is configured by a dish-like support disk 15 provided at the upper end of 4 and having a peripheral wall projecting to form a peripheral wall 15a, and a disk-shaped operation plate 16 imitating a head flower. A square opening 17 is formed at the center of the disk 15, and an inverted trapezoidal guide 18 is formed on the back surface so as to be connected to the opening 17. The back surface of the working plate 16 is integrally formed with a guide portion 19 which is U-shaped in a plan view and has a wall surface 19a on the back side which is formed inwardly toward the lower side. It is disposed so as to pass through the rectangular opening 20 formed in the center, further through the opening 17 of the support disc 15, and overlap the guide portion 18 of the support disc 15.

A wedge-shaped retaining member 21 fixed to the upper end of the wire 7 is inserted into the overlapped guide portions 18 and 19 , and when the retaining member 21 descends, the wall surface 19a of the guide portion 19 of the operating plate 16 is pushed backward to operate. Since the plate 16 operates to press the petal against the support disc 15, the petal 8 is bent at the peripheral wall 15a of the support disc 15 and bent forward so that the petal can appear to be closed. It has become.

As shown in FIG. 3, the base 1 includes support members 24 and 25 that support the swing member 2 on the case body 22 (22a and 22b), and a fixing unit that stops and fixes the swing of the swing member 2. 27, a coil 28 that is excited so as to repel the magnet 5 attached to the lower end of the swing member 2, a control circuit 29 that periodically applies an exciting current to the coil 28, and a solar panel 30 that serves as a power source. Is arranged.

  The support members 24 and 25 are plate-like members formed by bending in a substantially L shape when viewed from the side. The support members 24 and 25 are fixed to the bottom of the case body 22 so that the standing plates 24a and 25a face each other. Bearings 31 and 32 for supporting the two support shafts 11 are formed.

  The fixing means 27 is disposed on the back side of the case body 22 and is arranged in a substantially L-shaped operation lever 35 that is pivotally supported so as to be pivotable in the front-rear direction. And two levers 36 and 36 arranged so that the rear part engages with the engagement plate 35a of the operation lever 35. When the operation lever 35 is rotated rearward, the engagement lever 35a is engaged with the engagement plate 35a. Since the rear end 36a of the combined lever 36 is lifted, the lever 36 is rotated so that the front end 36b is lowered, and the front end 36b pushes down an engagement shaft 13 formed on the operating shaft 10 described later.

  FIG. 4 is a block diagram for explaining the electrical outline of the moving toy. The electric power induced by the solar panel 30 is converted into a pulse current by a known control circuit 29 and outputted, and this pulse current flows through the coil 28. The coil 28 is intermittently excited, and repels the magnet 5 attached to the tip of the holding body 6 at the time of excitation.

  According to the operation toy having the above configuration, when light hits the solar panel 30 and the solar panel 30 induces electricity, the coil 28 is intermittently excited by the pulse current output from the control circuit 29.

  When the coil 28 is excited, the magnet 5 attached to the tip of the holding body 6 is repelled from the coil 28 and the holding body 6 (the swinging member 2) is counterclockwise around the support shaft in FIG. When the coil 28 is turned off and the coil 28 is de-energized, it returns and turns clockwise, so that the swing member 2 continuously swings left and right as the coil 28 is excited.

  On the other hand, when the swinging of the swinging member 2 is stopped and fixed, the operation lever 35 is rotated backward as shown in FIG. When the operation lever 35 is rotated rearward, the engagement plate 35a pushes up the rear end 36a of the lever 36, so that the lever 36 is rotated in the direction in which the front end 36b is lowered. At this time, the front end 36b of the lever 36 engages with the engagement shafts 13 formed on both sides of the operation shaft 10 and pushes them downward, so that the operation shaft 10 itself is lowered. Since the lower end of the wire 7 is fixed to the operating shaft 10 and the retaining member 21 is secured to the upper end of the wire 7, the retaining member 21 is forcibly pulled down via the wire 7. Become.

  As shown in FIG. 5C, when the operation lever 35 is further rotated, the engagement plate 35a and the rear end 36a of the lever 36 are brought into contact with each other, the lever 36 is locked, and the swinging member 2 is in the vertical state. And the retaining member 21 is lowered as much as possible, so that the operating plate 16 is further pulled back, and the petal 8 is bent inward by the peripheral surface of the operating plate 16 and the peripheral wall 15a of the support disc 16. , The buds can also be like petals closed.

  As shown in FIG. 5A, when the operation lever 35 is returned to its original position, the forced push-down of the lever 36 is released and the push-down of the engagement shaft 13 by the lever 36 is eliminated. ) Is free, and the light is shining on the solar panel 30, the coil 28 is continuously excited, so the swinging member 2 starts swinging and continues as before. Will swing.

  As described above, since the operation toy of the present invention does not include a battery or a motor, it is not necessary to provide a power switch. However, the control circuit 29 and the solar panel 30 are not connected to the swing toy. A switch may be provided between them, but it is not necessary to provide a switch because the battery is not consumed. However, when it is necessary to stop the swinging toy for some reason, the swinging toy is fixed instead of stopping the supply of power. An operational toy that is optimal for storage can be provided.
