Thus, the doorway 32 is opened and closed.

  FIG. 3 shows the operation of the pinion 4 and the first operating member 5 when the roulette wheel 3 is rotated.

  As described above, the roulette wheel 3 is rotated by the operation portion 16 of the first operation member 5 being pushed in the direction of the main body 2. As the operating unit 16 is pushed, the first operating member 5 moves from the first position shown in FIG. 3A to the third position shown in FIG. 3C through the second position shown in FIG. Move up. The coil spring 6 biases the first operating member 5 from the third position toward the first position.

  In a state where the first operating member 5 is disposed at the first position, the stopper 15 is engaged with the pinion 4 and the roulette wheel 3 is stopped. When the operating portion 16 is pushed and the first operating member 5 moves from the first position to the second position, the stopper 15 is separated from the pinion 4 and the rack 14 is engaged with the pinion 4. When the meshing between the stopper 15 and the pinion 4 is released, the pinion 4 and the roulette wheel 3 can rotate. When the first operating member 5 moves from the second position to the third position, the rack 14 passes through the pinion 4. As the rack 14 passes through the pinion 4, the pinion 4 is rotated and the roulette wheel 3 is also rotated.

  When the pushing of the operation unit 16 is released, the first operation member 5 biased by the coil spring 6 moves from the third position to the first position. When the first operating member 5 moves to the first position, the stopper 15 is engaged with the pinion 4 and the roulette wheel 3 is stopped. Here, when the first operating member 5 passes through the second position, the rack 14 meshes with the pinion 4, and the pinion 4 and the roulette wheel 3 are rotated in the reverse direction, but immediately after the first operating member 5 is moved to the first position. Since the roulette wheel 3 is stopped and the roulette wheel 3 is stopped, the reverse rotation of the roulette wheel 3 is slight.

  As described above, since the roulette wheel 3 can be rotated and stopped only by the first operating member 5, the structure is simplified compared to the case where the operating member for rotation and the operating member for stop are different, and one hand is used. It becomes easy to operate. Also, if the operation member for rotation and the operation member for stop are different, depending on the operation timing of the two operation members, there is a possibility that the roulette wheel is rotated backward until it is stopped, By rotating and stopping the roulette wheel 3 only with the first operating member 5, the reverse rotation of the roulette wheel 3 can be suppressed.

  From the viewpoint of suppressing reverse rotation of the roulette wheel 3, one tooth of the rack 14 is preferable. In the process in which the first operating member 5 moves from the third position to the first position, the time lag from when the rack 14 meshes with the pinion 4 and the roulette wheel 3 starts to reversely rotate until the stopper 15 meshes with the pinion 4 is shortened. The reverse rotation of the roulette wheel 3 can be further suppressed. In the present embodiment, the roulette wheel 3 can be rotated by pushing the operating portion 16 of the first operating member 5 in the direction of the case 2. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the operating portion 16 is slid. Thus, the roulette wheel 3 may be structured to rotate.

  FIG. 4 shows the operation of the second operation member 7 when the article stored in the storage unit 13 is taken out.

  As described above, the entrance / exit 32 of the case 2 from which the article 8 is taken out is opened / closed by sliding the operation portion 31 of the second operation member 7 along the outer peripheral surface of the case 2. As the operation unit 31 slides, the second operation member 7 is rotated around the rotation axis of the roulette wheel 3 between the closed position shown in FIG. 4A and the open position shown in FIG. The

  In a state where the second operation member 7 is disposed at the closed position, the lid portion 33 on one end side of the arm portion 30 overlaps with the entrance / exit 32 of the case 2, and the entrance / exit 32 is closed by the lid portion 33. On the other hand, in a state where the second operating member 7 is disposed at the open position, the lid portion 33 of the arm portion 30 is retracted from the entrance / exit 32 and the entrance / exit 32 is opened.

  A convex portion 34 is provided on the other end side of the arm portion 30, and a first concave portion 35 that engages with the convex portion 34 in the state where the second operating member 7 is disposed at the closed position on the base plate 12. And a second concave portion 36 that engages with the convex portion 34 in a state in which the second operating member 7 is disposed at the open position, and the convex portion 34 and the first concave portion 35 or the second concave portion 36 The second operating member 7 is held in the closed position or the open position.

  A housing portion 13 for housing the article 8 is provided in the case 2 housing the roulette wheel 3, and an entrance / exit 32 communicating with the housing portion 13 is a first for operating (rotating and stopping) the roulette wheel 3. Since the second operation member 7 different from the operation member 5 is opened and closed, it is possible to prevent the article 8 from popping out when the roulette wheel 3 is operated. Then, the operation portion 16 of the first operation member 5 is pushed into the case 2, while the operation portion 31 of the second operation member 7 is slid along the outer peripheral surface of the case 2 and the operation directions are different from each other. Incorrect operation can be prevented.

  FIG. 5 shows the positional relationship between the operation unit 16 of the first operation member 5, the operation unit 31 of the second operation member 7, and the entrance / exit 32.

  An angle formed by a line segment L1 connecting the operation unit 16 of the first operation member 5 and the rotation axis of the roulette wheel 3 and a line segment L2 connecting the operation unit 31 of the second operation member 7 and the rotation axis of the roulette wheel 3 θ is preferably 90 ° or more and less than 180 °. Thus, when the roulette toy 1 is gripped with one hand and the thumb is placed on the operation part 16 of the first operation member 5, the index finger can be easily placed on the operation part 31 of the second operation member 7, and the operation with one hand can be performed. It becomes easier.

  In addition, when the outer peripheral surface of the case 2 is divided into the first region A1 and the second region A2 with a center line L3 orthogonal to the rotation axis of the roulette wheel 3 as a boundary, the operation of the first operation member 5 is preferably performed. The part 16 and the operation part 31 of the second operation member 7 are arranged on the first area A1 side, and the doorway 32 is arranged on the second area A2 side. In this case, when the roulette toy 1 is grasped with one hand, the thumb is placed on the operation portion 16 of the first operation member 5, and the index finger is placed on the operation portion 31 of the second operation member 7, the doorway 32 is automatically lowered. The article 8 can be easily taken out. The position of the entrance / exit 32 can be changed, and the arm portion 30 of the second operation member 7 may be extended or shortened along the inner peripheral surface of the case 2 according to the position of the entrance / exit 32.
