Description

  The present invention relates to a flying object flying apparatus used for effects such as weddings, receptions, concerts, and other various events and ceremonies.

  Conventionally, there are known methods for performing visual effects by flying a large number of balloons into the air or dropping confetti, paper tape, etc. from the air to increase the atmosphere at various event venues. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a balloon in which a hollow interior of a balloon body is separated with a difference in left and right volume ratio. When a gas such as helium is injected into the balloon body and released, the balloon body turns up in the air due to the difference in volume ratio between the left and right.

JP-A-9-28934

  Recently, the demand level of the demand for the production effect is also high, and it is monotonous simply by blowing a balloon or dropping a confetti, and is often bored or unsatisfied. Therefore, the development of a novel production method with high interest and uniqueness has been desired. Further, when a large number of balloons or the like as in Patent Document 1 are blown through the air, it is necessary to individually manage the balloons one by one and a lot of manpower is required. In addition, there has been a long-awaited appearance of a device that can dramatically improve the effect of production at any place inside and outside the room.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described conventional problems, and one object of the present invention is a novel flying object that can automatically fly a large number of flying objects and produce a high atmosphere enhancement effect using the flying objects. A flying device and a flying object are provided. Furthermore, another object of the present invention is to provide a flying object flying device and a flying object that can effectively produce an effect at any indoor and outdoor venue regardless of the height of the support height position such as the indoor ceiling portion. There is.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention is a support 14 that is attached to a required ground height position, and has a holding part 22 that holds a plurality of flying bodies 12 made of a lightweight thin plate member, a horizontal discharge means 16 to release the projectile 12 toward the one by one horizontally from the holding portion 22, only including, holding unit 22, to each other projectile made of a lightweight sheet metal member in the same direction in a contact state A discharge device 68 that is arranged so as to overlap and the horizontal discharge means 16 discharges and drives one of the flying bodies 12 made of a plurality of light-weight thin plate members that are overlapped in the horizontal direction,
And a feeding mechanism 66 for sending one of the flying bodies made of lightweight thin plate members toward the discharge position by the discharge driving device, and the flying bodies made of lightweight thin plate members are aligned in a state where the plate surface is arranged in the vertical direction. It is arranged in a superimposed manner, and the feed mechanism is configured to sequentially send the flying object composed of a plurality of lightweight thin plate members arranged in a superimposed manner toward the discharge position downward by gravity drop ,
Projectile made of a lightweight sheet metal member is vertically are disposed to overlap in contact with each other in the state in which the plate surface, the projectile comprising a single lightweight sheet member near the discharge position of the projectile made of lightweight sheet metal member A horizontal slit opening 86 that is large enough to pass only through is provided, and the discharge driving device 68 slides the flying object horizontally on the lower surface of the lowermost flying object made of a lightweight thin plate member supplied to the discharging position. The flying object flying device 10-1 is characterized by including a feeding device having an endless rotating belt 80 that discharges in a direction. The specific shape of the flying object is not limited as long as it can glide with a long flight time. At the same time that the flying body made of a lightweight thin plate member is detached from the holding portion of the support body, the flying body is driven to discharge horizontally by the horizontal discharge means. The lightweight thin plate member as a flying body is made of a thin plate-like member made of a foamable synthetic resin and having a light weight of about 1 gram or less and a thickness of about 2 mm. Lightweight thin plate members are attached to a thin plate-like body plate surface by attaching a small sealing member or the like to carry a weight, or to embed and carry other weight members, but it is a weight of several milligrams and the center of gravity is easy It is difficult to stabilize. Therefore, even if the flying object is simply forcibly pulled or blown off, a stable water smooth sky state is not obtained. In order to perform a stable water smooth sky during discharge, there is a method in which the flying object is supported until just before the flying object is ejected, and a certain horizontal distance is run in the supported state. As a mechanism for assisting the running, for example, a method is conceivable in which the flying object is placed on a horizontally moving support body in a horizontal state and the flying object is detached while the support body is horizontally moved as it is. Further, there is a method in which a flying object in a horizontal posture is captured or gripped by an arm or a slider in the horizontal direction, and a run-up is performed so that the flying object is detached on the way and shifted to glide by the flying object itself. In addition, a method of flying by applying a driving force in the horizontal direction immediately after leaving the flying object in a horizontal posture can be considered. Various contents such as names of brides and grooms, event names, company names and logos, lottery numbers, and the like may be written on the flying object 12. Thereby, in addition to the visual effect by flying a large number of flying objects 12, it is possible to add added value such as raising the atmosphere and improving the advertising effect of the company. The plurality of flying objects may all have the same shape or different shapes. Further, a plurality of flying object flying devices 10 may be installed at a venue for one event or the like where the production is performed. The flying object flying device 10 can be installed and used at a high position in any place such as indoors and outdoors. It should be used in consideration of the influence of the flying wind and air conditioning. Various mechanisms can be adopted as a horizontal discharge driving device by the horizontal discharge means. As the horizontal discharge means, a method of flying in the horizontal direction by a frictional force and a method of horizontally discharging by flying objects one by one can be considered. In the case of horizontal discharge due to friction with the horizontal discharge driving device, a friction member can be used on the drive device side in order to generate friction, and horizontal driving can be performed by friction with the friction member. In addition, there may be a case where a member having a large frictional force is attached to the flying object, a paint is applied, or other surface friction processing. As a horizontal discharge means, a friction member is attached to the horizontal discharge drive side, and when the flying object is discharged horizontally one by one using the frictional force, a belt that rotates the friction member endlessly, the surface of the rotating member, horizontal linear motion It can be considered to be carried on a possible slider mechanism. As the driving force, a driving mechanism using a motor, air, vibration, magnetic force, electromagnetic force or the like can be applied.

Holding unit 22, the mutual weight thin plate members (12) Ru superposed aligned with the same orientation in the abutment aligns the orientation of the projectile of various shapes, and mutual contact or non-contact state By combining them, it is possible to reduce the size of the accommodating portion and to make the entire apparatus compact and to continuously realize stable horizontal discharge driving. The flying objects may be arranged in a stacked manner in contact with each other, or may be placed in a stacked manner with a slight gap. By providing a gap and overlapping the layers, the individual flying objects can be gripped individually.

  The plurality of lightweight thin plate members accommodated in the stacked portion in the accommodating portion of the support are sent to a discharge driving device that drives one of the lightweight thin plate members to discharge in the horizontal direction. In this case, it is conceivable that a plurality of light-weight thin plate members in a superposed and laminated state are supplied to the discharge drive device side, and a case where the discharge drive device side moves toward the light-weight thin plate member side. The discharge position for the horizontal discharge drive of one lightweight thin plate member is set, and this discharge position is set to the uppermost end or the lowermost position of the entire lightweight thin plate member block. The feed mechanism is a movement amount of about 2 mm or less of the thickness of the flying object, and a step motor or the like can be used. Also, a cylinder mechanism, a linear guide / slider mechanism, or the like can be used.

The lightweight thin plate members (12) are arranged in a superimposed manner in a state where the plate surfaces are arranged in the up-down direction, and the feeding mechanism 66 moves the whole of the plurality of lightweight thin plate members arranged in a superimposed manner toward the discharge position L upward or Feeds sequentially downwards .

Horizontal slit-type holes 86 sized to pass only one light sheet member to release position L near the lightweight thin plate members can Rukoto provided. The horizontally long slit opening may be provided in accordance with the lowermost end of the light weight thin plate member arranged in an overlapping manner, or provided at the uppermost end and the discharge driving device is installed in the vicinity of the upper end thereof, and one flight from the upper end side of the overlapped block one by one. The body may be released horizontally. An intermediate device is required for supplying the flying body at the uppermost end or the lowermost end to the discharge position L from a plurality of light-weight thin plate member whole blocks and releasing it from the support body at the same time as the horizontal discharge, but in the vicinity of the discharge position L By providing a horizontally long slit opening having a size that allows only one lightweight thin plate member to pass through, it is possible to smoothly and continuously drive the horizontal discharge without clogging one lightweight thin plate member supplied to the discharge position. In this case, if the lower edge of the horizontally long slit opening is formed on the upper surface of the friction belt of the discharge driving device, that is, if the lower side of the slit is formed on the upper surface of the friction belt of the discharge driving device, the discharge position L is It is set at the same height position, so that the lowermost flying object to be supplied by falling can be operated in a horizontal direction by friction with the friction belt, and can be driven horizontally and discharged one by one. The horizontally long slit opening and the belt upper surface position where the discharge driving device is set can function as an intermediate device.

  According to the flying object flying apparatus of the present invention, the supporting body attached to a required ground height position, the supporting body holding a plurality of flying bodies made of lightweight thin plate members, and flying from the holding section. Since it is configured to include a horizontal discharge means that discharges the body one by one in the horizontal direction, a number of flying objects such as gliding or floating in the air in order at a required time interval in order, It is highly entertaining and unique, and can produce new effects. Further, since the flying object itself can fly in the air using gravity without having a driving force, the structure can be simplified and can be manufactured at low cost. In particular, since the horizontal discharge means releases the flying objects one by one in the horizontal direction along with the separation from the holding unit, the support height is low regardless of whether the indoor ceiling is low, such as the indoor ceiling height is low. Even when the flying object is detached from the apparatus, the present apparatus can be effectively applied to produce a production effect.

  In addition, since the holding portion is configured to superimpose and arrange the lightweight thin plate members in the same direction in a contact or non-contact state with each other, the storage unit is reduced in size by overlapping arrangement of a plurality or a plurality of flying objects. The whole can be downsized to improve the support and installation convenience at ground level. At the same time, the place where the flying object appears can be made inconspicuous so as not to cause a sense of incongruity at a venue such as an event. Furthermore, since the specific operation site | part etc. at the time of the discharge drive by a horizontal discharge | release means are fixed, the continuous automatic discharge of the flying object can be implement | achieved stably.

  In addition, the horizontal discharge means is configured such that one of a plurality of light-weight thin plate members arranged in an overlapping manner is driven to discharge in a horizontal direction, and one of the light-weight thin plate members is directed toward a discharge position by the discharge drive device. Therefore, continuous horizontal discharge of the flying object at a high place from the ground can be realized by the feed mechanism and the discharge driving device.

  Further, the lightweight thin plate members are aligned and overlapped in a state where the plate surfaces are arranged in the vertical direction, and the feeding mechanism directs the whole of the plurality of lightweight thin plate members superimposed and arranged toward the discharge position upward or downward. Therefore, it is only necessary to feed the moving body in the vertical direction and the flying body at the uppermost end or the lowermost end to the discharge position with the thin plate-like flying bodies arranged in the horizontal direction. Therefore, stable discharge driving can be performed.

  In addition, the lightweight thin plate members are arranged in contact with each other in a state where the plate surfaces are arranged in the vertical direction, and a horizontally long slit opening having a size that allows only one lightweight thin plate member to pass near the discharge position of the lightweight thin plate member. Therefore, the linkage between the feed mechanism and the discharge driving device can be smoothly performed through one horizontally long slit opening.

  In addition, since the discharge drive device is composed of a rotation device having a rotating outer surface portion that makes contact with one of the lightweight thin plate members supplied to the discharge position and discharges in the horizontal direction, the plate surface side of the flying object Alternatively, by providing a friction portion on the rotating belt side of the discharge driving device, the thin plate-like flying object can be driven to discharge horizontally by the frictional force.

  Further, since the rotating device is composed of an endless horizontal feeding device that rotates the endless belt endlessly, continuous horizontal discharge driving can be performed in response to the continuous feeding operation of the flying objects superimposed by the feeding device. .

  Further, the discharge driving device is composed of a swing arm device that holds one lightweight thin plate member supplied to the discharge position and discharges one lightweight thin plate member in the horizontal direction by rotating around the vertical axis. It is possible to reliably hold one of the light-weight thin plate members arranged in an overlapping manner by the operation of gripping one of the light-weight thin plate members and releasing the swing, and to reliably execute the horizontal discharge driving.

  In addition, the holding unit is provided with an individual holding device that detachably holds individual lightweight thin plate members that are arranged in layers in the vertical direction with the plate surfaces facing each other. Since it is configured to include a drive side moving mechanism in which the discharge driving device is arranged at each discharge position of the lightweight thin plate member in cooperation with the individual holding device while moving the device upward or downward, One of the light-weight thin plate members can be driven to release horizontally at the same time as the separation, and the horizontal discharge drive of the flying object at a high place can be realized continuously and stably.

  Further, the discharge driving device is composed of a rotating device, and moves upward or downward in synchronization with the rotating device when the rotating device moves upward or downward, and at that time, engages with the individual holding device to separate one lightweight thin plate member. Since the release piece is attached, the horizontal discharge driving at the same time as the release of the individually held flying object can be stably performed by the linkage operation between the rotating device and the individual holding device.

  Further, since the release piece is positioned and fixed at the position of engagement with the individual holding device of the lightweight thin plate member that comes into contact with the outer surface of the rotating device immediately after being detached, the release piece of the individual holding device and the discharge driving device The linkage operation can be performed reliably.

As shown in FIG. 8, the flying body 12 is held at a height position away from the floor surface or the ground by the support body 14 in the standby state, and discharged in the horizontal direction by the horizontal discharge means, Glide in the air and produce visual effects. In FIG. 8, the flying state of one flying object is shown as an image diagram. However, in actuality, the flying object is continuously released horizontally at intervals of several tens of seconds or the like depending on the setting of the apparatus. Can be swarmed in the nearby space with high density. As shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, when the flying object 12 is blown into the air, the tip to which the weight 20 is attached due to the balance of various actions such as gravity, lift and resistance by the surrounding air received by the flying object. While taking the course toward the side, it flies for a long time while gliding with a variety of movements such as going straight and turning. The specific planar shape of the flying object 12 can be arbitrarily configured. For example, not only heart shapes but also abstract shapes formed by straight lines and curves, fish, birds, insects, animals, airplanes, other arbitrary characters, four leaves, leaves, stars, etc., living things, natural objects and various shapes Any other shape such as a shape simulating the above may be used. Further, the thickness of the flying body, the decoration on the surface, and other uneven shapes can be arbitrarily set. The weight 20 may be attached to the flying body in an embedded manner, or the material itself may be locally thick to have a weight function. As the weight, other than the tape member and paper, sliced wood pieces, bamboo pieces, metal thin plates and other materials can be used. Further, the weight itself can have any shape and structure as long as the structure can maintain a stable water-smooth sky with a long dwell time.

In this embodiment, the support 14 holds a plurality of flying bodies 12. A holding part 22 is provided. The support body 14 supports the plurality of flying bodies 12, but the support body 14 itself is supported at a required ground height position. In the present embodiment, the support 14 includes a connecting portion 26 connected to a support source means 24 such as a building structure material or a bar at a required ground height position, and a storage portion 28. A holding part 22 for the flying object 12 is provided.

  The connecting portion 26 is a connecting means for connecting and fixing the accommodating portion 28 that accommodates and holds the flying object to a support source means 24 such as a building structure material or a bar material, and is connected and fixed to a required ground height position. This includes both a mechanism for gripping the original side and a mechanism that is gripped from the support source means side and receives a connection like a hitch ball.

In FIG. 1, the attachment device 27 includes a base portion 30 that is connected and fixed to the top wall that is a wall plate of the case body, and a hook fixing portion 32 that is connected to the upper end side of the base portion 30. For example, the support 14 is connected to the bar 24A so as to be movable and adjustable in the xx direction along the longitudinal direction, the forward / backward yy direction, and the rotation θ direction. 1, 2, and 3, the base portion 30 includes a three-dimensional trapezoidal base portion 34 that is welded and fixed to the top wall of the accommodating portion 28, and a short shaft rod 36 that is fixed from the upper end of the base portion. The hook fixing portion 32 includes a hook body 38 that is substantially U-shaped when viewed from the side, and a connecting cylinder 40 that is suspended and fixed from the lower end of the U-shape of the hook body 38. 42 is an insertion hole of the connecting cylinder 40, 44 is a screwing cylinder connected in a direction perpendicular to the cylinder axis of the connecting cylinder 40, 46 is a screw hole thereof, and the screw hole 46 communicates with the insertion hole 42 of the connecting cylinder 40. It is made a hole. Reference numeral 48 denotes a height setting bolt that is screwed into the screw hole 46 and moves forward and backward, and fixes the separation position of the hook body 38 from the accommodating portion 28 at a position where the tip of the bolt hits the side of the shaft rod 36 in the connecting cylinder. Reference numeral 50 denotes a hook fixing bolt that is screwed to the protruding piece 52 from one end side of the U-shaped hook body 38 and advances and retreats to the opposite corner side inside the U-shape. In a state where the bar member 24A is inserted inside the hook body 38, the hook body and the bar member are coupled and fixed by adjusting the screwing of the hook fixing bolt 50, and the accommodating portion 28 is coupled and fixed to the support base side. It should be noted that a wire with a hook for preventing a fall (not shown) may be fixed to the accommodating portion 28. The configuration of the connecting portion 26 is not limited to the above configuration, and for example, the support body is supported by hooking a separately prepared hook on the wall or pillar of the building, or the housing portion is directly fixed by screwing from the support source side. It can also be made to do. In addition, for example, the support may be directly assembled to a pole or the like that stands on the ground or the floor.

  The accommodating part 28 is a flying object holding means that has the holding part 22 and holds the plurality of flying objects 12, and relatively moves the flying object held by the accommodating part 28 toward the horizontal discharge means 16. In particular, in the present embodiment, the flying bodies 12 as lightweight thin plate members are accommodated in the same orientation in a contact or non-contact state with each other, thereby reducing the storage space and the horizontal discharge means. This makes it easy to feed to the side and further to drive horizontally one by one. In the embodiment, it is only necessary that the accommodating portion 28 has a function of stably accommodating the flying bodies 12 as lightweight thin plate members in the same direction in a contact or non-contact state with each other. A case structure surrounded by four or six sides may be closed, or a frame structure in which a frame or a net frame is assembled. Further, the shape is not limited to a hexahedron, but may be a cylinder, a triangular cylinder, a pentagonal cylinder, other hollow polygonal cylinder structures, or a frame structure thereof.

  In the present embodiment, the accommodating portion 28 is formed of a hexagonal hollow three-dimensional quadrangular case body S, has six walls S1 to S6, and one of the side walls S3 via the hinge portion 54. Close the inside freely. A holding portion 22 is provided inside the case body S.

  In the present embodiment, the holding unit 22 is a holding unit that arranges a plurality of flying bodies 12 as lightweight thin plate members in the same direction so as to overlap each other in a contact state, and a payout unit that pays out to the discharge drive device side. I have. That is, in FIGS. 1, 2, and 3, the holding portion 22 is overlapped by aligning the outline of the heart shape with the plate surfaces of the respective light thin plate members arranged in the vertical direction so that the plate surfaces are brought into contact with each other. Specifically, the structure includes a lower base 56 and a positioning guide 58.

  The lower base 56 is a receiving means for receiving a part or all of the flying bodies 12a at the lowermost positions of the plurality of flying bodies 12 in which the plate surfaces are arranged in an up-and-down direction and are stacked one on top of the other. A receiving plate 60 is provided at a position raised from the wall S2 to receive the flying object 12a. In the embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1, 3, and 4, the receiving plate 60 has only a rear portion that is a bifurcated back portion r when the heart-shaped sharp side f is a front portion and the bifurcated back portion r is a rear portion. The lowermost flying body 12a is received at the lower part of the surface portion that is about one third of the length.

  The positioning guide 58 is a means for positioning and guiding the plurality of flying bodies 12 in a state in which the plate surfaces are arranged in the up-down direction and are laminated so as to be overlapped. Let In the embodiment, the positioning guide 58 includes three guide rods 61, 62, 63 installed in the vertical direction at three point-like positions spaced apart from each other along the outline of the flying object. In FIG. 5, the guide rods 61 and 62 each have an upper end fixed to the top wall S <b> 1 of the case body S and have a lower end suspended vertically. The first guide rod 61 is suspended and fixed at a position where the outer periphery is slightly in contact with the outline contour near the heart sharp side f or at a small interval. The second guide rod 62 is suspended and fixed at a position where the outer periphery is slightly in contact with the outer contour line of one of the forked back portions r or at a small interval. As shown in FIG. 5, both the first and second guide rods are installed along the outer contour line on one back side of the heart shape. Therefore, the wall body S3 as the opening / closing door of the case body S is opened, and it is easy to put in and out in a state where the sharp side of the flying body is directed to the discharge driving device side, align them, and further stack up into a superposed laminated state. It can be done accurately. The 3rd guide rod 63 is arrange | positioned freely along the outer outline on the other back side of the heart shape. In FIG. 1, the third guide rod 63 is attached and fixed in the vertical direction to the back surface side of the wall body S <b> 3 as an opening / closing door via an armband 64. Then, when the wall S3 is closed, the third guide rod 63 is positioned at a dotted position along the outer contour on the other back side of the heart, as shown in FIG. Are placed upright at a position where the outer periphery touches lightly or has a small gap. As a result, the flying body superposed with the wall body S3 opened is inserted sideways, and the direction and position are aligned while being applied along the first and second guide rods as necessary. By closing, the plurality of flying objects stacked and stacked in a block shape are held in an accurate positioning state.

As shown in FIG. 4, the lower ends of the guide rods 61 to 63 of the positioning guide 58 are not in contact with the upper surface of the receiving plate 60 with a gap h having a width corresponding to the thickness of one flying body 12. Stopped. Therefore, the light-weight thin plate member at the lowermost end, which is stacked and overlapped, is not disturbed by the guide rod when being discharged in the direction in which the heart-shaped sharp portion is the discharge leading position, and is in a dischargeable state. In the present embodiment, a gap h portion below the lower ends of the first to third guide rods 61 to 63 is used as a payout portion of the flying body 12, and the lowermost flying body 12a (Fig. The position where 3) is held is the discharge position L. In the present embodiment, the structure for sequentially lowering the flying object under gravity by the first to third guide rods 61 to 63 constitutes the feeding mechanism 66. The feed mechanism 66 is a feed means that relatively feeds one of the light-weight thin plate members 12 toward the discharge position L by the discharge drive device 68, and a mechanism that feeds the light-weight thin plate member 12 side toward the discharge position and the discharge drive device side. As well as a mechanism for delivering to one of the lightweight sheet members. Feed mechanism 6 6 of the present embodiment utilizes the gravity of the lightweight projectile, the entire plurality of lightweight thin plate members superimposed arrangement is sequentially sent downward. Since this mechanism does not require a device that actively feeds and transports them, the structure is extremely simple, light weight, compact, and low cost can be maintained.

  The horizontal discharge means 16 is a means for discharging the flying bodies one by one in the horizontal direction. More specifically, the horizontal discharge means 16 applies a slight pushing force to the flying bodies in the horizontal direction to form the water smooth sky of the lightweight thin plate member. This is a means for stable formation from the beginning. That is, as described above, each flying body 12 has a thickness of 1.7 to 1.8 mm and a total weight of about 1 g or less formed of, for example, a foamed synthetic resin, and a size of vertical le × horizontal la is 14 cm × 11. It is a lightweight thin plate-like member of about 5 cm, and it is not necessary to simply push it out with a large pushing force when it is detached from the housing portion 28. If you push it out with a large pushing force, it will drop suddenly and take a short time, or the horizontal jumping will be hindered. In addition, it becomes difficult to drive the discharge stably and repeatedly. From this point of view, the horizontal discharge means 16 needs to have a function of being able to stably eject the flying object, to ensure a long post-exposure flight time, and to be stably and repeatedly driven to discharge.

  In the present embodiment, the horizontal discharge means 16 includes a discharge drive device 68 that can continuously and discontinuously discharge each of a plurality of light-weight thin plate members arranged in a superimposed manner in the horizontal direction. The discharge driving device 68 is constituted by an extrusion urging mechanism that causes the surface of the rubber belt that moves horizontally and the flying body plate surface to come into contact with each other to eject the flying body in the horizontal direction and release it. As a result, it is possible to maintain stable jumping of the flying object, to ensure a long post-flying flight time, and to perform stable and repeated discharge driving. By projecting in the horizontal direction at the same time as the separation from the housing part, it is possible to effectively use this device even when the flying object's glide state is formed from the beginning of the separation and the support position such as a low ceiling height cannot be taken high. it can.

  The discharge driving device 68 of the present embodiment is driven to discharge the flying object in the horizontal direction in conjunction with a feed mechanism 66 that moves down to the discharging position L by lowering due to gravity. That is, an opening 70 having a horizontally long rectangular shape is provided near the lower portion of the wall body S5 disposed on one side wall that is a surface adjacent to the wall body S3 as the opening / closing door of the case body S of the housing portion. Is inserted in a penetrating manner, and a discharge driving device 68 is installed over the inside of the case body S and the outside of the wall body S5, whereby one flying body supplied to the discharge position L by the feed mechanism 66 is provided. It discharges toward the horizontal direction one by one.

  In the embodiment, the discharge driving device 68 is configured by a rotating device 74 having a rotation outer surface portion 72. The rotating device 74 enables continuous or discontinuous repetitive driving. For example, the flying device is horizontally released by a rotating mechanism using an endless track or an endless belt. In the present embodiment, the rotating device 74 includes a plurality of rollers 78 that rotate in conjunction with each other, a belt 80 that is adjusted by these rollers 78 and rotates endlessly, and a motor 82 that rotationally drives one of the rollers 78. It is composed of an endless horizontal feeding device. Reference numeral 81 denotes a roller support. The two rollers arranged in parallel and spaced apart are supported by the arm 84 in the positional relationship. One roller 78A is a drive roller that is disposed inside the case body S and connected to the rotation shaft of the motor. The other roller 78B is disposed outside the case body S. The belt 80 is a part that contacts the lower surface of the lowermost flying body from the lower part and horizontally feeds friction. In this embodiment, the belt 80 is a rubber member having a high coefficient of friction that is formed repeatedly with concave grooves, protrusions, and the like on the surface. Is formed. In order to make the outer surface of the rotation a surface having a frictional force, a belt can be formed of other materials, surface friction processing, and surface friction bonding can be performed. The belt 80 is a rotation outer surface portion 72. The outer rotation surface portion 72 is a portion that is directly abutted against one of the lightweight thin plate members supplied to the discharge position, that is, one of the flying bodies 12 and discharges in the horizontal direction. In order to contact and repeat the horizontal feed smoothly, it is arranged so as to contact the lower surface side of the flying body at the lowermost end. In FIG. 3, a rotation outer surface portion 72 of the discharge driving device is installed through the opening 70 so that the wall body S <b> 5 of the case body S is positioned at the center of the two roller shaft centers. Therefore, the lowermost flying body 12a is supported at its front end by a part of the rotation outer surface portion 72 from the lower part, and the rear end side is placed and supported on the receiving plate 60 of the lower base 56, and its central part (length) About one third of the direction) is an unsupported portion 79 that is not supported from below. The non-supporting portion 79 is not necessarily provided. By providing the outer rotation outer surface portion 72 so as to protrude in the horizontal direction from the opening 70 of the case body, stable horizontal discharge of the flying body is realized. The motor 82 is connected to an electric wiring 200 for supplying 100 volt power, and can be driven to turn on and off via a remote control device 202 or a wireless device. In FIG. 3, reference numeral 204 denotes a power plug. The motor is rotated and stopped every 30 seconds, for example, and the flying object is driven to discharge in the horizontal direction at a time interval of about twice per minute. The time interval of release can be set arbitrarily. The motor may be kept rotating, and the contact timing caused by the lowering of the lowermost flying body among the stacked flying bodies may be controlled so as to be discharged horizontally at a required time interval.

  3 and 4, the width between the upper surface of the rotation outer surface 72 and the upper edge of the opening 70 is equal to the gap h between the lower ends of the guide rods 61 to 63 and the upper surface of the receiving plate 60 of the lower base 56. A slit-like hole 86 as a long slit opening having a long length is provided over the entire width of the opening 70. The horizontally long slit opening is formed in a size by a width width and a thickness width length through which only one lightweight thin plate member can pass. In particular, in the present embodiment, the lower portion of the horizontally long rectangular opening is a rotation outer surface portion 72. The lower side of the slit opening is formed by the surface of the rotation outer surface portion 72. Therefore, when the flying object arranged at the discharge position L is sent horizontally on the belt, the flying object superimposed on the lowest flying object is not released and can pass through the horizontally long slit opening. Thus, only the lowest-level flying object whose position and size are matched is discharged in the horizontal direction. This enables smooth and stable flight without causing one or more flying bodies to clog together or break the flying body during horizontal release driving due to friction between the rubber belt surface and the lower surface of the flying body. The body's horizontal discharge drive can be maintained. The lower slit opening is not necessarily arranged in such a manner that the belt surface is directly facing, but a guide plate that provides a complete opening contour so that the lowermost flying object can surely pass through and be released toward the opening. A guide structure such as the above may be arranged.

  Next, the effect | action of the flying body flying apparatus 10-1 of this embodiment is demonstrated. When the flying object flying device 10-1 is used, a plurality of flying objects are aligned and stacked in advance in the accommodating portion 28 of the support 14 and accommodated and held. In other words, a plurality of flying bodies having plate surfaces arranged in the vertical direction in a horizontal state with the front end side of the flying body 12 as the right side with the open / close door (S3) being the right side are stacked and overlapped to fly to the first and second guide rods 61 and 62. While applying the outer contour of the body, the front and rear direction and the entire outer contour are aligned and stacked. At this time, the flying body 12a at the lowermost end is supported by the front end side being received by the rotation outer surface portion 72 and the rear end side being received by the receiving plate 60 of the lower base 56. When the open / close door (S3) is closed, the third guide rod 63 is arranged in the intersecting direction along the other outer outline of the flying object, whereby a plurality of or many flying objects 12 are stacked in a single block. In this way, the holding part 22 is positioned and held. When the production effect time has arrived, the operator turns on the remote control switch at hand and drives the motor 82 to rotate at the required rotational speed, so that the lowermost flying object 12a rubs the lower surface against the rotation outer surface 72 of the discharge driving device 68. As shown in FIG. 3, while being driven, the belt passes through a slit-like hole 86, which is a gap between the case body and the outer surface of the rotation, and is pulled out in the horizontal direction with the plate surface directed vertically to the outside of the case body. By the horizontal movement of the upward movement part of 80, it receives the required pushing thrust and is released in the horizontal direction. When the flying object 12 that has been adjusted to stable glide by the weight 20 is given a suitable thrust and jumps out of the device horizontally, the flying object flies in a long-gated stable glide or floating state from the beginning when it is released from the support, A long flying time keeps one projectile flying in the air. When the motor 82 causes a single flying object to jump out and then stops, and then starts, for example, after 30 seconds, the flying object located immediately above the flying object released during that time drops in gravity to fly to the lowest end. The body is moved to the discharge L position as the body, and the outer surface 72 of the discharge driving device 68 frictionally drives the lower surface of the discharge driving device 68 to the slit-like hole 86 side in the same manner as the previous time, and pushes the slit opening 86 to the slit-like hole 86 side. After the passage, the same discharge driving as described above is performed, and the horizontal discharge driving of the flying object is repeated continuously or discontinuously while repeating this similarly. The motor may be driven at predetermined time intervals by timer control. Note that the horizontal drive device of the embodiment may be configured such that a slider having a friction member attached to a linear guide is attached to be linearly movable instead of the belt / roller mechanism, and a rack / pinion mechanism, a cylinder mechanism, and other linear guides. A mechanism for performing forward and backward movement may be applied.

  The flying object flying device 10-1 of the above embodiment includes, in particular, a support body that holds a plurality of flying objects, and horizontal discharge means that discharges the flying objects from the holding part one by one in the horizontal direction. Thus, since the horizontal stable glide mode can be entered immediately after the flying object leaves the apparatus, it can be effectively applied even when the building ceiling height is relatively low and it is difficult to increase the apparatus support height.

  Although the flying object flying apparatus 10-1 of said embodiment was demonstrated about the usage example in a building indoor, it may be used outdoors and in the case of the outdoors, the means of a support can be installed freely. The present apparatus can be suitably used for creating a production effect at, for example, weddings, receptions, concerts, and other various events and ceremonies.

Next, as a reference example of the flying object flying apparatus of the present invention, it will be described with reference to FIG. 9 to FIG. 12, but the same components as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted. The flying body flying apparatus 10-2 according to the reference example includes a support body having a holding section that holds a plurality of flying bodies made of lightweight thin plate members, and a horizontal body that discharges the flying bodies from the holding section one by one in the horizontal direction. The holding unit is configured to superimpose and arrange a plurality of lightweight thin plate members in the same direction with their plate surfaces oriented in the vertical direction, and the function of the other main components is the first implementation. Although it is the same as the form, in this reference example , a plurality of lightweight thin plate members are superposed in a non-contact state, and are greatly different in that they are fed and driven to the flying object side on which the discharge driving device side is superposed.

9 to 12, the support body 14 includes a connecting portion 26 and a storage portion 28, and the storage portion 28 has a holding portion 22. In this reference example , an attachment device 27 as a connecting portion 26 is connected and fixed to the support means 24 side, and the housing portion 28 fixedly connected to the attachment device 27 is, in this reference example , a machine frame with the inside exposed. 90. That is, the machine frame 90 includes a horizontal frame 92 and a hanging frame 94 that is connected and suspended in a direction perpendicular to the lower surface side of the horizontal frame 92, and a plurality of flying objects are directly supported by the hanging frame 94. The

The flying object individual holding device 96 is installed in the accommodating portion 28 of the reference example . The individual holding device 96 is a means for holding each of the plurality of flying objects held by the holding part so as to be detachable individually and horizontally releasing each one while releasing the individual holding in cooperation with the horizontal discharging means. In this reference example , because of the necessity of holding and detaching when individually holding, the planes of the flying bodies are arranged in a multi-layered manner with the plate surfaces in the vertical direction, and each flying body is The same horizontal gap is provided to be overlapped.

The individual holding device 96 includes a hanging frame 94 and a plurality of holding clip devices 98 arranged in a row in the vertical direction with a space in the vertical direction. The sandwiching clip device 98 includes a plurality of support shafts 100 that pass through two pairs of support frames 94A and 94B serving as hanging frames from the lateral direction and are arranged in a row at intervals in the vertical direction, and each support shaft 100. An urging member 102 fitted to and supported by the shaft, and a pair of two clip pieces 104 each having a central portion attached to the urging member and having one end sandwiched and detachable so as to sandwich one end of the flying object. ,including. The clip clips 104 are vertically opposed to each other so that the clip 104 opens and closes the clamping side by movement in the vertical direction. In the reference example , the biasing member 102 fitted to the support shaft 100 is formed by a small coil spring. The clip pieces 104 are fixed at both ends of the spring 104 at the center portion thereof, and always bias one end side in the clamping direction. At the same time, the other ends are urged in a direction to separate each other. As described above, each clip of the clip pieces 104 directly detaches and holds the plate surface of each flying object by opening / closing movement in the vertical direction and holding the holding side g. Thus, in this reference example , the holding part 22 arranges the lightweight thin plate members 12 so as to overlap in the same direction in a non-contact state with a space therebetween. The upper piece clip 104U of the two clip pairs 104 is fixed at the center to the hanging frame 94, but the lower piece clip 104L is gripped around the support shaft 100 with the holding side g. It can be moved in the opening and closing direction. At least the lower clip 104L of the holding clip device 98 is made of metal, synthetic resin, bamboo, or other elastic material. For example, as shown in FIGS. The shape is restored as soon as it is released.

  As shown in FIG. 11, on the base side t which is the other end side of the grip holding side g of the clip pieces 104, the lower piece clip 104L is longer than the upper piece clip 104U in the horizontal direction by a length k. It is set and the protrusion part 106 is formed in the front-end | tip. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 9, in a state where the clip pieces 104 spring-biased in the clamping direction hold the flying object 12 in the sandwiched state, the protrusion 106 of the lower clip 104L on the base side t is provided. And the short base piece 108 of the upper piece clip 104U are in a state where the protrusions and the non-protrusions are alternately arranged at intervals.

The feed mechanism 66 of the present reference example feeds and moves toward the plurality of flying bodies on which the discharge drive device 68 is superimposed, and places the discharge drive device 68 at the discharge position for one of the lightweight thin plate members. In other words, the feed mechanism 66 includes a drive side moving mechanism 110, and the discharge side driving mechanism 110 moves the discharge driving device upward or downward, and cooperates with the individual holding device 96 to release the light thin plate members one by one. A discharge driving device is arranged at the position. Specifically, the drive-side moving mechanism 110 includes a vertically moving rack 112 that is supported so as to be vertically movable along a hanging frame 94 of the machine casing 90 of the housing portion 28. The vertical movement rack 112 is a driving side moving means that moves up and down in the overlapping direction from the lower side of the flying object group that is superposed and arranged so as to have a clearance and align the contour while carrying the rotating device 74 as a horizontal discharge means. In the reference example , the vertical movement rack includes a support rod 114 that is engaged and supported by the horizontal frame 92 and is movable up and down along the hanging frame 94, a motor 116 that drives the support rod 114 up and down, and a support A rotating device 74 that is fixed to the ridge 114 and arranged so that the rotating surface portion of the rotating device 74 is in close contact with the flying body at the lowermost end from the lower side. The rotating device 74 is attached so as to be able to abut the lower surface of the flying body at the lowermost end slightly closer to the front via an arm 115 fixed at right angles to the lower end of the support rod 114. In the present reference example , the rotating device 74 includes a roller driving motor 118 and a blow roller 120 having a roller shaft connected to the rotating shaft of the roller driving motor. The surface of the blow-off roller 120 can be configured by making the roller itself rubber, applying a material sheet with a high friction coefficient, or processing the surface so as to have a high friction coefficient roller surface so as to have a surface with a high friction coefficient. .

Further, in the reference example , the release piece 122 is attached in the vicinity of the support height position of the rotating device 74. The release piece 122 is attached to the support rod 114 portion that is higher in the vertical direction than the rotation surface portion of the rotation device 74, and immediately before the rotation device 74 comes into contact with the lowermost flying body, the lower end of the holding clip device 98 is used. It is a means for releasing the flying object 12a by releasing the holding state of the flying object. In the reference example, it is located near the lower end of the support rod 114, and the tip protrudes in the direction of the overlapping flying object with a gap. And a release table 126 that is rotatably supported at the tip of the support pin. In the present reference example , the release piece 122 is positioned and fixed at an engagement position with the individual holding device 96 of the lightweight thin plate member 12 that comes into contact with the outer rotation surface portion 72 of the rotating device 74 immediately after being detached. When the rotating device 74 moves upward, the release piece 122 moves upward at a position ahead of the surface of the rotating device in synchronization with the rotating device, and at that time, engages with the individual holding device 96 to detach one lightweight thin plate member 12. Let Then, the flying roller surface of the rotating device hits the lower surface of the flying body released and released at the immediately preceding position, and a thrust in the horizontal direction is applied to the flying body to drive the flying body in the horizontal direction.

The flying object flying device 10-2 of this reference example is a plate in a state in which the orientation is aligned with the holding clip devices 98 (1), 98 (2), 98 (3). Each flying object is clamped on the holding side g by picking the surface up and down. For example, in a state in which the flying object is held by all the holding clip devices, for example, as shown in FIG. 9, the support rack 114 of the vertical movement rack is in an extended state, and the rotating device 74 is positioned below the lowermost flying object. Has been placed. In this state, the roller drive motor 118 of the rotating device 74 is started to rotate the blow roller 120. Next, when the vertical movement rack motor 116 is turned on, the support rod 114 is raised at a low speed through a gear engagement (not shown). Then, the release roller 126 of the release piece 122 first hits the tip of the protruding portion 106 of the lower piece clip 104L to release the clip holding side g and release the flying object 12a. The flying object after being detached comes into contact with the surface of the rotating device 120 at the position below the minute interval that can be brought into contact with the surface immediately after that, with the lower surface close to the front contacting the surface of the rotating roller 120 to give a thrust in the horizontal direction. Drive the body horizontally. When the release piece 122 hits the tip of the protrusion 106 of the lower piece clip 104L, the tip of the protrusion is bent so as to be curved upward as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, and protrudes beyond the contact length. When the tip of the part is bent, the protruding part of the lower clip 104L is restored in shape. The release piece 122 is set at such a distance that the short base piece 108 of the upper piece clip 104U and the release roller 126 of the release piece 122 do not contact each other. Therefore, with the upward movement of the vertical movement rack 112, the clamping clip device 98 at the lowermost end is the first, and any of the second, third,... Is released only at the tip of the protruding portion 106 of the lower clip 104L. The plurality of flying bodies superposed and laminated sequentially from the bottom to the top are released while abutting 126, and at the same time, the flying body is brought into contact with the surface of the flying roller 120 immediately at this time, and the flying body is caused by the frictional force. Flyed horizontally.

In this reference example , the rotation device 74 may have a belt / roller configuration similar to that of the first embodiment. Further, a slider in which a friction member is attached to a linear guide may be mounted so as to be linearly movable, and a rack / pinion mechanism, a cylinder mechanism, and other mechanisms that perform linear advance / retreat movement can be applied. The accommodating portion 28 may be configured as a box-shaped case body structure having an opening on one side, and a plurality of flying bodies 12 that are shielded and overlapped with each other are stored in the case body and discharged horizontally only from the opening side.

Next, another reference example of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 13 to 15. However, the same components as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted. The flying object flying apparatus 10-3 of the present reference example has a supporting body having a holding part that holds a plurality of flying objects made of lightweight thin plate members, and a horizontal body that discharges the flying objects from the holding part one by one in the horizontal direction. The holding unit is configured to superimpose and arrange a plurality of lightweight thin plate members in the same direction with their plate surfaces oriented in the vertical direction, and the function of the other main components is the first implementation. Although the configuration is the same, the configuration of the discharge drive device and the feed mechanism is mainly different in this reference example .

13 and 14, the support 14 includes a connecting portion 26 and a storage portion 28, and the storage portion 28 has a holding portion 22. The attachment device 27 as the connection portion 26 is connected and fixed to the support base means 24 side, and the housing portion 28 fixedly connected to the attachment device 27 opens the top wall S1 in this reference example , and the four peripheral walls S3 to S6 and The hollow case body S is formed by assembling the bottom wall S2 into a three-dimensional square shape. The accommodating part 28 is formed in the hollow case body S, and the four support rods 128 erected from the bottom wall plate along the dotted outline in the outer contour, although the specific support positions are different as in the first embodiment. A plurality of or many heart-shaped lightweight thin plate members whose positions are determined by ˜131 are stacked and accommodated in a state where their plate surfaces are in contact with each other in the vertical direction.

Inside the hollow case body S, there is provided a cylinder device 134 which is disposed on the lower surface side of the lowermost flying body and accommodates the built-in rod 132 so as to be movable up and down. A flat flying body receiving portion 136 is provided at the upper end of the built-in rod 132, and the entire flying body can be driven up and down by receiving the overlapping flying body while receiving the lower surface of the lowermost end of the flying body. The cylinder device 134 constitutes a feed mechanism 66 that feeds the flying object 12 upward. The built-in rod 132 of the cylinder device 134 is provided so as to be movable up and down, and is set so as to sequentially move upward with a small amount of movement. As shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, the flying body 12 b at the uppermost end of the superposed and stacked flying bodies is driven to rise and drive the entire superposed laminated block to be sequentially positioned and supplied to the discharge position L of one flying body. In this reference example , as shown in FIG. 14, the discharge position L is disposed inside the case body at a height position substantially the same as the upper end of the hollow case body S.

In the present reference example , the discharge driving device 68-3 grips the flying object main body with the swing arm and swings in the horizontal direction to drive the flying object to discharge in the horizontal direction. The discharge drive device 68-3 has a gripping mechanism 138 that grips one lightweight thin plate member whose plate surface is in the vertical direction, and swings the swing arm 140 in the horizontal direction. And a swing arm device 144 including a driving device 142 to be operated.

  The swing arm 140 grips the uppermost flying object 12b provided at the discharge position L (including a preparation position for discharge driving), and horizontally rotates around the vertical axis Ax in the gripped state to the horizontal rotation stop position. It is a direct swing discharge means that releases the grip in front and horizontally discharges with the inertial force of the flying object, and is composed of an arm member that is pivotally supported by the shaft support portion 148 and rotates horizontally around the vertical axis. The swing arm 140 is formed of a hollow arm member extending in the horizontal direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the shaft support portion 148 that supports horizontal rotation. The base side is the shaft support side, and the suction portion 141 that is enlarged in a truncated cone shape is formed on the tip side. It is attached. The central hollow portion of the shaft support portion 148 communicates with the air flow path 152 inside the box and is further connected to the exhaust port.

The holding mechanism 138 of the swing arm 140 sucks and holds the flying object supplied to the discharge position L in conjunction with the swing arm 140, releases the sucking object during the swing operation of the swing arm 140, and discharges the flying object in the horizontal direction. In this reference example , the gripping means is configured by a pneumatic device, and suctions and grips the plate surface of the uppermost flying object. That is, in the present reference example , the gripping mechanism 138 is a tip suction portion 141 provided on the tip side of the swing arm 140, and the tip suction portion 141 that communicates with the arm hollow portion 140a and the arm hollow portion 140a. A suction fan 146 that is driven under negative pressure, and sucks and grips the plane of the flying object with the frustoconical enlarged portion of the tip suction part, and releases the suction object at a required timing to release the flying object. . The suction position of the tip suction unit 141 and the discharge (preparation) position of the uppermost flying object are set so that there are, for example, several gaps of flying objects as shown in FIG. When the tip suction part 141 of the gripping mechanism 138 is sucked and gripped at the position, the uppermost flying object is sucked and floated and sucked and gripped by the suction port.

The swing drive unit 142 is a drive unit that swings the swing arm 140 having an arm length in the horizontal direction by horizontally rotating it around the vertical axis Ax. In the reference example , for example , the swing drive unit 142 is fixed to one outer wall of the case body S. The protection box 147 includes a shaft support portion 148 that supports shaft rotation about the vertical axis, a drive motor 150, and a plurality of gears (not shown). The swing driving device 142 is one that horizontally releases a single flying object that is swing-driven in cooperation with the gripping mechanism 138, and is provided with a control device (not shown) that controls this linkage operation. The control device sucks and grips the uppermost flying object supplied to the discharge position by the suction fan 146 of the gripping mechanism, horizontally swings by the swing drive unit 142, releases the suction at a required rotational position, and horizontally moves the flying object by inertia. A series of operations of discharge are controlled in linkage. Further, the control device links the operation of the vertically moving cylinder device 134 of the plurality of superposed and stacked flying bodies with a series of operations of these discharge driving devices, thereby continuously at constant, indefinite or intermittent time intervals. The horizontal discharge of the flying object can be realized.

Next, the operation of the flying object flying device 10-3 of another reference example will be described. The flying object 12 is inserted in advance through the opening on the upper surface side of the case body S as the accommodating portion, and the front and rear are oriented in the same direction. The flying objects are superposed and stacked while operating to guide the outer contours along the guides. At this time, the swing arm 140 may be rotated to the outside of the case body S to facilitate insertion from the opening. When the arrangement of the topmost flying object 12b is completed, the suction fan 146 of the gripping device is driven and the swing arm 140 is rotated about the vertical axis to stop the tip suction part 141 at a position above the center of the flying object's heart shape. Let Then, the uppermost flying object is sucked and held by the negative pressure suction force of the suction fan 146, and in this state, the swing arm 140 of the rotary actuator rotates around the vertical axis to perform a swing operation. When the suction and gripping operation is canceled immediately before the rotation stop or simultaneously with the rotation stop, the flying object is released from the restraint and is in a free state, and is thrown out in the horizontal direction as it is by the inertial force in the circumferential direction at that time. As a result, horizontal discharge is performed, and thereafter the flight with a long flight time is performed according to the glide performance of the flying object itself. The rod 132 of the cylinder device 134 is raised by one thickness of the flying object during gripping and swinging motion of the uppermost flying object of the swing arm, the entire flying object is raised, and a new uppermost flying object is released. Supplied to position L. Thereafter, the same operation is repeated.
