On the other hand, the grounding member 110 is fitted to the outer frame member 100 from above. In this case, the fitting groove 105 of the outer frame member 100 and the notch 113 of the grounding member 110 are opposed to each other in the radial direction. Then, the ridge 114 of the grounding member 110 fits into the guide groove 107 of the outer frame member 100. This assembly is referred to as a lower assembly for convenience of explanation.
Next, the upper assembly and the lower assembly are brought closer to each other, and the coil spring 20 is interposed between the pressing member 18 of the upper assembly and the flange 112 of the grounding member 110 of the lower assembly. Then, the distal end portion 163 of the fastener 160 of the cylindrical body 16 is fitted into the fitting groove 105 of the outer frame member 100. In this state, the male screw 19 is inserted into the screw insertion hole 106 of the outer frame member 110 and the screw insertion hole 164 of the fastener 160 and screwed to the flange 12 of the upper assembly.
Thus, the shaft 10 is assembled (see FIG. 6A). In this state, the urging force of the coil spring 20 urges the pressing member 18 and the grounding member 110 in a direction away from each other, and the grounding portion 11 of the grounding member 110 projects below the outer frame member 100. FIG. 6A shows a state in which the body 40 and the like are attached to the shaft portion 10.

2. Performance Variable Ring 30 In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, a flywheel is used as the performance variable ring 30. The performance variable ring 30 has a plate shape. As shown in FIG. 3, an annular step portion 31 is formed on the bottom surface of the variable performance ring 30 so that the flange 12 of the shaft portion 10 can be accommodated from below. Further, on the upper surface of the performance variable ring 30, a protruding portion 32 is formed, which protrudes upward at each of the portions facing each other in the left-right direction with respect to the axis of the grounding portion 11. A recess 33 is formed in a lower portion of each projection 32 so as to be able to accommodate the projection 15 of the shaft 10 from below. A tongue piece 34 is formed on the upper surface of the performance variable ring 30 and extends upward just outside each of the protrusions 32. The tongue piece 34 projects above the projection 32. The variable performance ring 30 may be replaced with the flywheel or integrated with the flywheel, has a protruding portion on the outer peripheral surface to facilitate attacking the opponent's top toy 1, or has a concave portion on the outer peripheral surface. It may be difficult for the opponent to be attacked by the top toy 1.

3. Body 40 As shown in FIG. 2, irregularities 40 a are formed on the outer periphery of the body 40. A circular hole 41 is formed in the center of the body 40. Further, on the lower surface of the body 40, as shown in FIG. 3, an annular concave portion 42 capable of accommodating the projecting portion 32 of the performance variable ring 30 from below is formed. At the lower end of the inner peripheral surface of the inner peripheral wall 43a that defines the annular concave portion 42, a claw (engaging portion) that protrudes radially inward at each of the portions facing the front and rear direction with the axis of the grounding portion 11 interposed therebetween. 44 are protruded.
In addition, a projection 47 is provided at an intermediate portion of the inner peripheral surface of the inner peripheral wall 43a in the vertical direction at each of portions facing the left and right directions with the axis of the grounding portion 11 interposed therebetween. .
Further, on the lower end surface of the inner peripheral wall 43a, undulations 45 which are continuously formed and mesh with the above-mentioned ridges 21 are formed at portions facing each other in the left-right direction with the axis of the grounding portion 11 interposed therebetween. . An arc-shaped slit 46 into which the tongue piece 34 of the performance variable ring 30 can be inserted from below is formed in the ceiling wall 43b which defines the annular concave portion 42 of the body 40. The length of the arc-shaped slit 46 is such that the tongue piece 34 can move sufficiently. One end of the arc-shaped slit 46 has a narrow width so that a claw 54b of the launcher 50 described below is engaged below the edge.

4. Identification Component 60 As shown in FIG. 2, the identification component 60 is attached to the circular hole 41. The identification component 60 is used for identifying the top toy 1 and for identifying the player. For this identification, although not shown in the embodiment, components having different patterns and / or colors are prepared as the identification components 60, and one identification component 60 selected by the player is selected from among the components. It is attached to the screw 41 using the projection 47.

《Assembly method》
Next, an example of an assembling method of the top toy 1 will be described. Here, it is assumed that the assembly of the shaft portion 10 has already been completed. It is also assumed that the attachment of the identification component 60 to the circular hole 41 has been completed.
First, the shaft portion 10 and the performance variable ring 30 are assembled in a fitted state such that the projection 15 of the shaft portion 10 matches the concave portion 33 of the performance variable ring 30 from below.
Next, the assembled body is approached to the body 40 from below. At this time, the tongue piece 34 of the performance variable ring 30 of the assembled body is aligned with a predetermined end of the arc-shaped slit 46 of the body 40 (FIG. 8A). In this state, the claws 17 of the shaft 10 and the claws 44 of the body 40 do not overlap in the vertical direction. This state is the disengaged state.
Thereafter, the shaft portion 10 of the assembled body is pressed toward the body 40. Then, first, the performance variable ring 30 is pressed against the lower surface of the body 40. Further, the coil spring 20 contracts, and the claw 17 of the shaft 10 is relatively pushed upward from the claw 44 of the body 40.
Then, the shaft portion 10 is rotated integrally with the performance variable ring 30 with respect to the body 40 until the tongue piece 34 moves to the end opposite to the predetermined end (FIG. 8B). The rotation in this case is a relative rotation between the body 40 and the performance variable ring 30 and the shaft portion 10. In FIG. 8B, the body 40 is rotated with respect to the body 40 and the performance variable ring 30. Is shown. Then, the claw 17 of the shaft 10 and the claw 44 of the body 40 are vertically overlapped. When the hand is released from the shaft 10, the lower surface of the claw 17 of the shaft 10 and the lower surface of the claw 17 of the shaft 10 are brought into contact with each other by the urging force of the coil spring 20. The state where the upper surface of the claw 44 of the body 40 is in contact with the claw 44 is the coupled state. As a result, the shaft portion 10, the variable performance ring 30 and the body 40 are connected, and the top toy 1 is assembled.

"how to play"
Next, an example of how to play using the top toy 1 will be described. In one example of this playing method, the top toy 1 is rotated to battle the top toy 1 of the opponent.
In this case, the rotational force of the top toy 1 is charged by the launcher 50 as shown in FIG. The launcher 50 includes a disc (not shown) therein, and urges the disc in one rotation direction by a spring (not shown), and pulls a string (not shown) wound around the disc with the handle 51. Then, the disk is rotated, and the frame holder 53 is rotated. The rotation of the top holder 53 is transmitted to the top toy 1 by a fork 54 projecting downward, and rotates the top toy 1.
In this case, the fork 54 is inserted into the arc-shaped slit 46 of the body 40, and the claw 54b is engaged below the edge of the arc-shaped slit 46. When the handle 51 of the launcher 50 is pulled off, the rotation of the disk and thus the top holder 53 is stopped, while the top toy 1 is still rotated by the inertial force, so that the top toy follows the inclined surface 54a of the fork 54. 1 comes off the top holder 53. In FIG. 5, reference numeral 52 denotes a rod which can be moved into and out of the frame holder 53. When the top toy 1 is mounted on the top holder 53, the rod 52 is pushed by the upper surface of the top toy 1 and sinks into the top holder 53. The rod 52 is used, for example, for detecting the attachment and detachment of the top toy 1.

  The top toy 1 fired in this manner is rotated in a predetermined field. When the top toy 1 collides with the opponent top toy 1, the shaft 40 and the performance variable ring 30 are attached to the body 40 by the impact force or rubbing caused by the collision. A force acts in a direction opposite to the rotation direction of the body, thereby rotating the body 40 relatively in a direction opposite to the rotation direction of the shaft portion 10 and the performance variable ring 30. Then, the ridges 21 mesh with the undulating portions 45 of the body 40, and the urging force of the coil spring 20 acts on the ridges 21. Are rotated relative to each other to change the meshing position, and when the locking position is reached, the claws 44 of the body 40 are disengaged from the claws 17 of the shaft 10, so that the urging force of the coil spring 20 causes the body 40 to rotate. Depart from. Then, as shown on the right side in FIG. 1, the top toy 1 is disassembled.

<< Operation and Effect of Shaft 10 >>
As described above, the coil spring 20 urges the pressing member 18 and the ground member 110 in a direction away from each other. In this case, when an external force acts on the top toy 1 and the ground contact portion 11 operates in a direction of immersing in the shaft main body, in other words, the shaft main body (fixation of the outer frame member 100 or the like) is in contact with the ground contact portion 11. When the (part) sinks, the coil spring 20 contracts, and the meshing pressure between the undulating portion 45 of the body 40 and the ridge 21 increases (see FIG. 7). As a result, the relative rotation in the direction in which the body 40 and the shaft 10 come off can be reduced, and the time until the disassembly can be prolonged. The scene in which the ground contacting portion 11 operates in the direction of immersion with respect to the shaft portion main body is that, immediately after the top toy 1 fired from the launcher 50 lands, the body of the other top toy is positioned on the body 30 of the top toy 1 of itself. For example, when a collision occurs from above, when the own toy 1 attempts to climb an inclined surface of a mortar-shaped game board due to a collision with another top toy. In such a situation, the relative rotation in the direction in which the body 40 and the shaft 10 come off can be effectively dulled.

<< Modification of the present invention >>
Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments, and it goes without saying that various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.

  For example, in the above-described embodiment, as the rotational resistance between the shaft portion 10 and the body 40, the ridge 21 is formed on the shaft portion 10 and the undulating portion 45 is formed on the body 40, but the protrusions and recesses having other shapes are formed. May be. Also, the number is not limited to the above embodiment. Further, the rotation resistance is not limited to the meshing element, and may be a resistance of rubber or the like formed on the facing surface between the shaft portion 10 and the body 40. In short, it is sufficient if the sliding contact with each other results in rotation resistance. In other words, a sliding element is sufficient. In this case, the shaft portion 10 and the body 40 gradually rotate relatively in the direction of uncoupling due to an external impact force or the like.
