Description

The present invention relates to a top toy, and particularly to a top toy suitable for a battle game.

Conventionally, as a top toy, a first body is provided with a body on which a first connecting element is formed and a shaft portion on which a second connecting element is formed, and the body and the shaft portion are butted from the axial direction. By bringing the upper surface of the connecting element into contact with the lower surface of the second connecting element, the body and the shaft are connected, and when an external impact acts on the body, the body and the shaft rotate relative to each other to release the connection. A top toy having a structure that is disassembled is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

Japanese Patent No. 6377211

In this top toy, the movable blade was operated by centrifugal force to change the shape of the blade of the entire top toy.

The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide a top toy capable of changing the shape of a blade during rotation with a simple structure different from that.

The first means is
A body on which the first connecting element is formed and a shaft portion on which the second connecting element is formed are provided, and the upper surface and the first surface of the first connecting element are in a state where the body and the shaft portion are butted from the axial direction. A structure in which the body and the shaft are connected by abutting the lower surface of the connecting element of No. 2, and when an external impact acts on the body, the body and the shaft rotate relative to each other to release the connection and disassemble. A top toy having an arc-shaped slit centered on an axial center formed in the body, and a protrusion rotating together with the shaft portion inserted in the arc-shaped slit.
A rotating blade that rotates about a predetermined axis parallel to the axial center and can move forward and backward with respect to the arc-shaped slit is provided on the outer peripheral portion of the body, and the inner edge of the rotating blade has a bow shape. It is a recessed sliding contact portion, and the rotating blade is configured so that the sliding contact portion rotates by sliding contact with the protrusion and advances and retreats with respect to the arc-shaped slit.
It is characterized by that.

The second means is the first means, in which the rotating blade moves the blade functional portion outward in the radial direction when the protrusion moves in the arc-shaped slit in the direction in which the coupling is released. When an external impact is applied to the rotating blade, the protrusion is integrally pushed back with respect to the body portion integrally with the shaft portion.

The third means is the first means, in which the rotating blade operates inward in the radial direction when the protrusion moves in the arc-shaped slit in the direction in which the protrusion is released. It is characterized in that it is configured as follows.

According to the first means, since the rotating blade is rotated by the movement of the protrusion in the isolated slit, the outer shape of the blade of the top toy can be surely changed.

According to the second means, in the rotating blade, when the protrusion moves in the arc-shaped slit in the direction in which the coupling is released, the blade functional portion moves outward in the radial direction, and an external impact is applied to the rotating blade. When the protrusion is pushed back integrally with the shaft portion, the disassembly of the body and the shaft portion can be delayed.

According to the third means, the rotating blade accommodates the rotating blade because the blade functional portion moves inward in the radial direction when the protrusion moves in the arcuate slit in the direction in which the coupling is released. It is possible to realize a top toy that has a shape closer to a perfect circle and whose defense power increases in the latter half of the battle.

(overall structure)
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the top toy 1 of the present embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the top toy 1 in a disassembled state.
The top toy 1 is a top toy that can be used in a so-called battle game. This top toy 1 can be used in a battle game in which the opponent's top toy 1 is disassembled to win by the impact force due to the collision with each other, as shown in FIG.
The top toy 1 is composed of a shaft portion 10, a performance variable ring 30, and a body 40.

(details)
1. 1. Shaft part 10
FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view showing a half portion of the shaft portion 10 and the performance variable ring 30. The other half has a symmetrical shape.
The shaft portion 10 includes a rotating shaft 11 at a lower portion, a collar 12 at an intermediate portion, and a cylindrical portion 13 at an upper portion. The rotating shaft 11, the collar 12, and the cylindrical portion 13 are made of synthetic resin. Of course, the material is not limited to synthetic resin, and all or part of the material may be made of metal, rubber or other material.
The lower portion of the collar 12 of the shaft portion 10 has a shape that is gradually narrowed from the collar 12 toward the rotating shaft 11, and is formed in a substantially inverted conical shape as a whole.
A hole 15 is formed in the front and rear of the collar 12 and the cylindrical portion 13. Further, the collar 12 and the cylindrical portion 13 are formed with one protrusion 16 on each side of the collar 12. The protruding portions 16 are located above and below the collar 12, and the outer surface thereof is flush with the outer peripheral surface of the collar 12.
Further, a cylindrical body 14 is erected inside the cylindrical portion 13. The upper end of the cylindrical body 14 is not particularly limited, but is set at a position slightly higher than the upper end of the cylindrical portion 13. At the upper end of the cylindrical body 14, one claw (first connecting element) 17 is formed so as to project outward in the radial direction in the front-rear direction.

Further, the shaft portion 10 is provided inside the cylindrical portion 13 and includes a cylindrical movable member 18 that surrounds the upper outer circumference of the cylindrical body 14. At the lower end of the movable member 18, one protruding piece 18a is formed so as to project outward in the radial direction in the front-rear direction. Each protruding piece 18a is inserted into the hole 15. The movable member 18 is movable in the vertical direction. Further, the movable member 18 is urged upward by a coil spring 19 wound around the cylindrical body 14, and in a normal state, the protruding piece 18a is in contact with the upper edge of the hole 15.
On the upper surface 18b of the movable member 18, one ridge (resistance element) 20 extending in the radial direction is formed on each side.

2. Performance variable ring 30
In this embodiment, for example, a metal flywheel is used as the performance variable ring 30. The performance variable ring 30 has a substantially plate shape. An annular step portion 30a capable of accommodating the flange 12 of the shaft portion 10 from below is formed on the bottom surface of the performance variable ring 30. Further, on the upper surface of the performance variable ring 30, one inverted U-shaped protrusion 31 is formed so as to project upward in each of the left and right directions. A recess 32 capable of accommodating the protrusion 16 of the shaft portion 10 from below is formed in the lower portion of each protrusion 31. On the other hand, on the upper surface of the performance variable ring 30, a tongue piece 33 projecting upward is formed immediately outward of each projecting portion 31.
The performance variable ring 30 has a protrusion on the outer peripheral surface that makes it easier to attack the opponent's top toy 1, or a concave portion on the outer peripheral surface, instead of the flywheel or integrated with the flywheel. You may use a toy that is not easily attacked by the opponent's top toy 1.

3. 3. Torso 40
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the body 40 as viewed from below, FIG. 5 is an exploded perspective view of the body 40, and FIG. 6 is a plan view for explaining the operation of the top toy.
The body 40 includes a body main body 40a, a weight 40b, and a tip 40c, and these are assembled to form the body 40.
The body main body 40a includes a ceiling wall 42 and is formed in a disk shape. On the lower end surface of the annular wall 43 inside the body body 40a, claws 44 extending inward in the radial direction are projected at two symmetrical positions. Further, on the lower end surface of the protrusion of the chip 40c, an undulating portion (resistance element) 45 in which irregularities extending in the radial direction are continuously formed at two symmetrical positions is formed, and the undulating portion 45 is the above-mentioned undulating portion 45 of the shaft portion 10. It meshes with the ridge (resistance element) 20.
Further, in the body main body 40a, arc-shaped slits 46 into which the tongue piece 33 of the performance variable ring 30 can be inserted from below are formed at two symmetrical positions. The circumferential length of each arc-shaped slit 46 is such that the tongue piece 33 can sufficiently move.

Blades 47 are arranged on the outer circumference of the body main body 40a over the entire circumference. In the top toy 1 of the embodiment, the upper blade 48 and the lower blade 49 are provided as the blade 47.
Of these, the upper blade 48 is a series of fixed blades having undulations on the outer shape. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6, the lower blade 49 has two fixed blades 49a formed at two symmetrical positions and having undulations on the outer shape, and two fixed blades 49a arranged at two symmetrical positions and having undulations on the outer shape. It is composed of a rotating blade 51, and the fixed blade 49a and the rotating blade 51 are alternately arranged in the circumferential direction.

The rotating blade 51 is provided on the outer peripheral portion of the body 40 and is configured to be rotatable around a shaft 50 parallel to the axis. The shaft 50 supports the rotating blade 51 on the rear side in the rotating direction of the top toy 1. With reference to this shaft 50, the front side portion in the rotation direction of the top toy 1 will be referred to as the tip end side portion of the rotation blade 51, and the rear side portion in the rotation direction will be described below as the base end side portion of the rotation blade 51.
An undulating portion (blade function portion) 51a is formed on the outside of the portion closer to the shaft 50 in the portion on the tip end side of the rotating blade 51. Further, a sliding contact portion 51b that advances and retreats with respect to the arcuate slit 46 by rotation is formed on the inner edge of the rotating blade 51. The inner edge of the sliding contact portion 51b is recessed in a bow shape.
When the tip end side portion of the rotating blade 51 protrudes from the arcuate slit 46, it protrudes radially outward from the maximum diameter portion of the upper blade 48 and the fixed blade 49a (FIG. 6A). The tip end side portion of the rotating blade 51 is retracted radially inward from the maximum diameter portion of the upper blade 48 and the fixed blade 49a when the sliding contact portion 51b is fully inserted into the arcuate slit 46 (FIG. 6 (B)). This position is taken when the tongue piece 33 is at the counterclockwise end of the arcuate slit 46. At this time, the tongue piece 33 hits the end of the base end side portion of the rotating blade 51, and the sliding contact portion 51b fully enters the arcuate slit 46b of the tip end side portion of the rotating blade 51.
When the body 40 and the shaft portion 10 rotate relative to each other in the direction of releasing the coupling from this state, the tongue piece 33 moves toward the watch side end of the arcuate slit 46b. Then, while the tongue piece 33 is in sliding contact with the sliding contact portion 51b, the tip end side portion of the rotating blade 51 is pushed out radially outward from the maximum diameter portion of the fixed blade 49a. This state is shown in FIG. 6 (A).

4. Assembling Method of Top Toy 1 First, the shaft portion 10 and the performance variable ring 30 are assembled in a fitted state by matching the protruding portion 16 of the shaft portion 10 with the recess 32 of the performance variable ring 30 from below. Next, the assembly is brought closer to the fuselage 40 from below. At this time, the tongue piece 33 of the performance variable ring 30 of the assembled body is matched with the clockwise end portion 46b of the arc-shaped slit 46 of the body 40. In this state, the claw 17 of the shaft portion 10 and the claw 44 of the body 40 do not overlap in the vertical direction, that is, the claw 17 of the shaft portion is located between the claws 44 of the body 40. This state is the uncoupling state. After that, the shaft portion 10 of the assembled body is pressed toward the body 40 side. Then, first, the performance variable ring 30 is pressed against the lower surface of the body 40. Further, the spring 19 in the shaft portion 10 is bent, and the claw 17 of the shaft portion 10 is pushed up relative to the claw 44 of the body 40. Then, the shaft portion 10 is integrally rotated with respect to the body 40 to the end portion 46a on the side opposite to the end portion 46b. Then, the claws 17 of the shaft portion 10 and the claws 44 of the body 40 are vertically overlapped with each other. When the hand is released from the shaft portion 10 in this state, the lower surface of the claw 17 of the shaft portion 10 and the upper surface of the claw 44 of the body 40 are brought into contact with each other by the urging force of the spring 19 in the shaft portion 10. This state, that is, the state in which the lower surface of the claw 17 of the shaft portion 10 and the upper surface of the claw 44 of the body 40 are in contact with each other is the coupled state. As a result, the shaft portion 10, the performance variable ring 30, and the body 40 are combined, and the top toy 1 as shown in FIG. 1 is assembled.

5. How to play Next, an example of how to play using this top toy 1 will be described.
The rotational force of the top toy 1 is charged by the launcher 60 as shown in FIG. 7. A top toy 1 is attached to the launcher 60. That is, the fork 63 is inserted into the arcuate slit 46 of the body 40. Then, the protrusion 63b is engaged with the edge of the end portion of the body 40 on the rotation direction side of the isolated slit 46. As a result, the top toy 1 is attached to the launcher 60.
The launcher 60 is provided with a disk (not shown) inside, and the disk is urged in one rotation direction by a spring (not shown), and a string (not shown) wound around the disk is pulled by a handle 61. Then, the disk is rotated and the coma holder 62 is rotated. The rotation of the top holder 62 is transmitted to the top toy 1 by a fork 63 projecting downward, and the top toy 1 is rotated in one rotation direction. In order to rotate the top toy 1 in another rotation direction with the launcher 60, the internal gear of the launcher 60 is switched or another launcher 60 is used.
When the handle 61 of the launcher 60 is pulled off, the rotation of the disk and the top holder 62 is stopped, while the top toy 1 is still rotated by the inertial force. Therefore, the top toy 1 follows the inclined surface 63a of the fork 63. Comes off from the frame holder 62.

In one example of this way of playing, the top toy 1 released on the field is rotated clockwise. In the initial state, the undulating portion 51a of the rotating blade 51 is larger than the maximum diameter portion (indicated by the alternate long and short dash line) A of the upper blade 48 and the fixed blade 49a by the tongue piece 33 as shown in FIG. 6 (B). It is located inward in the radial direction. Then, when the upper blade 48 and the fixed blade 49 collide with the opponent's top toy 1 in a predetermined field, the body 40 has a shaft portion 10 and a performance variable ring 30 in the rotational direction due to impact force or rubbing due to the collision. A force in the opposite direction acts, and the body 40 rotates relatively in the direction opposite to the rotation direction of the shaft portion 10 and the performance variable ring 30.
By the way, since the ridge 20 meshes with the undulating portion 45 on the lower surface of the body 40 and the urging force of the spring 19 in the shaft portion 10 acts on the ridge 20, each time the impact force due to the collision acts on the body 40. On the other hand, the shaft portion 10 rotates relative to each other to change the meshing position. Then, when the coupling release position, that is, the tongue piece 33 reaches the end portion 46a on the clockwise side of the isolated slit 46, the claw 44 of the body 40 is disengaged from the claw 17 of the shaft portion 10, so that the spring 19 in the shaft portion 10 The body 40 is separated from the shaft portion 10 by the urging force of. Then, the top toy 1 is disassembled as shown in FIG.

In the top toy 1, the undulating portion 51b of the rotating blade 51 gradually moves outward in the radial direction from the maximum diameter portion A as the tongue piece 33 moves in the isolated slit 46 in the uncoupling direction. .. Then, when the opponent's top toy 1 collides with the rotating blade 51 in the state shown in FIG. 6 (A), the rotating blade 51 rotates clockwise around the shaft 50 as shown in FIG. 6 (B). It is moved and rotates relative to the body 40 in the direction in which the tongue piece 33 and thus the shaft portion 10 are returned to their original positions.
As a result, the disassembly of the body 40 and the shaft portion 10 can be delayed.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, it is needless to say that the present invention is not limited to such embodiments and can be variously modified without departing from the gist thereof.
For example, in the above embodiment, the case where the shaft portion 10 and the body 40 rotate relative to each other in the direction in which the shaft portion 10 and the body 40 are returned to each other when the body 40 receives an external impact has been described, but the tongue piece 33 has moved in the direction of disengagement. At this time, the undulating portion 51a of the rotating blade 51 may be moved inward in the radial direction by sliding contact with the tongue piece 33. This can be easily understood by considering that the tongue piece 33 moves from the clockwise end 46a to the counterclockwise end 46b in FIG. 6. In this way, as the tongue piece 33 approaches the disconnection direction, the entire blade 49 becomes closer to a perfect circle, so that the defense power gradually increases.

Further, in the above embodiment, both ends of the rotating blade 51 are configured to alternately enter the isolated slit 46 according to the rotating direction of the rotating blade 51, but at least the movement of the tongue piece 33 The structure may be such that the sliding contact portion 51b of the rotating blade 51 can move forward and backward in the direction.

Further, in the above embodiment, the outer peripheral shape is changed with the movement of the tongue piece 33, but when the centrifugal force at the initial stage of rotation is large, the undulating portion 51a of the rotating blade 51 is operated outward in the radial direction by the centrifugal force. When the centrifugal force weakens and the sliding contact portion 51b of the rotating member 51 enters the isolated slit 46, the rotating blade 51 is rotated outward by the sliding contact with the tongue piece 33 to the outside in the radial direction. The undulating portion 51a may be operated.

Further, in the above embodiment, the spring for urging the rotating blade 51 is not provided, but a spring for urging the sliding contact portion 51b of the rotating blade 51 in the moving direction of the tongue piece 33 is provided. May be good.
