Description

The present invention relates to a top toy.

Conventionally, as a top toy, a body having a first claw and a shaft having a second claw are provided, and the body and the shaft are abutted from the axial direction, and the first on the body side. The upper surface of the claw and the lower surface of the second claw on the shaft side are brought into contact with each other to connect the body and the shaft, and when an external impact acts on the body, the body and the shaft rotate relative to each other. A top toy having a structure in which the bond is released and decomposed is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

Japanese Patent No. 5793631

However, not only when the top toy is thrown into the field, an external force such as relative rotation between the body and the shaft may act. For example, there is a case where a top toy is handled by holding only one of the body and the shaft. Specifically, it is a case where the body and the shaft are attached to the launcher. In such a case, there is a risk that the body and the shaft will rotate relative to each other in the direction in which the coupling is released, causing unintended disassembly. Such a danger occurs not only between the body and the shaft portion, but also in the case of a combined type top toy in which two top toys are combined.
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 suppressing unintended disassembly.

The first means is
It is provided with an upper portion in which an upward surface and a vertically movable rod-shaped shaft are formed, and a lower portion in which a downward surface and a tubular shaft through which the rod-shaped shaft can be inserted are formed. By bringing the upward surface of the upper portion into contact with the downward surface of the lower portion in a state where the portions are abutted from the axial direction, the upper portion and the lower portion are coupled and an external impact is generated. A top toy having a structure in which the upper portion and the lower portion rotate relative to each other in a predetermined direction when they act on the upper portion to release the coupling.
The rod-shaped shaft is configured to take a descending position and protrude from the lower end of the tubular shaft when the upper portion and the lower portion are connected and are in a non-grounded state, and the rod-shaped shaft is formed on the rod-shaped shaft. The first engaging part is formed,
The lower portion engages with the first engaging portion when the rod-shaped shaft takes the descending position to prevent the relative rotation between the upper portion and the lower portion, and the upper portion. When the rod-shaped shaft is grounded in a state where the lower portion is connected to the lower portion, the second engaging portion that moves upward with respect to the upper portion to release the engagement with the first engaging portion is formed. Provided,
It is characterized by that.

The second means is the first means, in which the tubular shaft is provided so as to be vertically movable with respect to the lower portion main body and is urged downward by the urging force of the spring, and the lower side thereof. The second engaging portion is provided on the partial main body or the tubular shaft, and the upper portion is moved upward with respect to the lower portion main body against the urging force of the spring. It is characterized in that the upward surface of the above and the downward surface of the lower portion are in contact with each other.

The third means is a second means, the top toy is a combined type top toy composed of a first top toy and a second top toy, and the upper portion is the first top portion. It is a top toy, and the lower portion thereof is the second top toy.

The fourth means is a third means, in which the lower portion main body is the body of the second top toy, and the contact between the upward surface and the downward surface of the lower portion is released. At that time, the urging force of the spring pushes up the body of the second top toy to fly the first top toy.

According to the first means, the first engaging portion and the second engaging portion engage with the first engaging portion and the second engaging portion when the rod-shaped shaft is not grounded. Since the relative rotation between the upper portion and the lower portion is prevented, unintended disassembly between the upper portion and the lower portion can be suppressed. On the other hand, when the rod-shaped shaft is grounded, the rod-shaped shaft moves upward and the first engaging portion and the second engaging portion are automatically disengaged, so that the desired play can be enjoyed. Can be done.

According to the second means, the spring is stored when the upper portion and the lower portion are connected, so that when the contact between the upward surface of the upper portion and the downward surface of the lower portion is released, the contact is released. The upper part can be skipped.

According to the third means, unintentional disassembly of the first top toy and the second top toy can be suppressed.

According to the fourth means, the first top toy and the second top toy can be easily disassembled.

The leg portion 18a of the pressing member 18 is restricted from moving upward at the upper edge of the hole 14, and the upper end of the pressing member 18 is normally at the same height as the upper end of the cylindrical portion 13. Further, on the upper surface of the ceiling portion of the pressing member 18, one ridge (projection) 21 extending in the radial direction is formed on each side.

2. About the performance variable ring 30 FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional perspective view showing a half portion of the performance variable ring 30 and the body 40. Although only a half is shown here, the other half has the same structure except for the identification part 60.
In this embodiment, a flywheel is used as the performance variable ring 30. The performance variable ring 30 has a plate shape. An annular step portion 31 capable of accommodating the collar 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 protrusion 32 is formed so as to project upward to the left and right. A recess 33 capable of accommodating the protruding portion 15 of the shaft portion 10 from below is formed in the lower portion of each protruding portion 32. Further, on the upper surface of the performance variable ring 30, a tongue piece 34 extending upward is formed immediately outward of each protrusion 32.
The performance variable ring 30 has a protrusion on the outer peripheral surface that makes it easier to attack the opponent's top toy, or a concave portion on the outer peripheral surface, instead of the flywheel or integrated with the flywheel. It may be difficult to be attacked by the opponent's top toy.

3. 3. About the body 40 As shown in FIG. 5, unevenness 40a is formed on the outer periphery of the body 40. Further, on the lower surface of the body 40, an annular recess 42 capable of accommodating the protruding 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 compartmentally forms the annular recess 42, one claw 44 is provided so as to project inward in the radial direction in the front-rear direction.
Further, one protrusion 47 projecting left and right inward in the radial direction is provided at the intermediate portion in the vertical direction of the inner peripheral surface of the inner peripheral wall 43a.
Further, on the lower end surface of the inner peripheral wall 43a, undulating portions 45 are formed in which irregularities are continuously formed in the left-right direction and mesh with the ridges 21.
Further, the ceiling wall 43b that partitions the annular recess 42 of the body 40 is formed with an arc-shaped slit 46 into which each tongue piece 34 of the performance variable ring 30 can be inserted from below. The length of the arcuate slit 46 is such that the tongue piece 34 can move sufficiently. Further, one end of the isolated slit 46 is narrow so that the claw 54b of the launcher 50, which will be described later, engages under the edge.

4. Assembling method of the top toy 1 Next, an example of the assembling method of the top toy 1 will be described.
First, the shaft portion 10 and the performance variable ring 30 are assembled in a fitted state by aligning the protruding portion 15 of the shaft portion 10 with the recess 33 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 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. 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. 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 coil spring 19 contracts, 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 rotated integrally with the performance variable ring 30 until the tongue piece 34 moves to the end opposite to the predetermined end with respect to the body 40. Then, the claws 17 of the shaft portion 10 and the claws 44 of the body 40 are vertically overlapped with each other. Then, when the hand is released from the shaft portion 10, 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 coil spring 19 with the lower surface of the claw 17 of the shaft portion 10. The state in which the upper surface of the claw 44 of the body 40 is in contact with the upper surface 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 is assembled.

<< Composition of top toy 1A >>
1. 1. Overall FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing a top toy 1A, and FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional perspective view showing a half portion of the top toy 1A. Although only a half is shown here, the other half has a similar structure except for the coil spring 114.
The top toy 1A includes a tubular shaft 110 and a body 150. The tubular shaft 110 is provided so as to be vertically movable with respect to the body 150.

2. About the body 150 The body 150 has a substantially disk shape, and a circular recess 151 concentric with the axis is formed on the upper surface. The lower plate 101 of the shaft portion 10 is seated in the circular recess 151. A circular hole 152 concentric with the axis is formed in the center of the floor of the circular recess 151. The rod-shaped shaft 11 is inserted into the circular hole 152 from above. Further, on the floor of the circular recess 151, one arc-shaped hole 153 concentric with the axis is formed at two locations facing each other with the circular hole 152 interposed therebetween. The arcuate hole 153 is formed with a notch 153a extending outward in the radial direction in the middle portion in the circumferential direction.
The lower surface of the body 150 is an inverted conical inclined surface so as to gradually reduce the diameter downward. On the lower surface of the body 150, a circular hole 154 that is concentric with the axis and is connected to the circular hole 152 is formed in the center. A tubular shaft 110 is inserted into the circular hole 154.

3. 3. About the tubular shaft 110 The tubular shaft 110 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape as a whole. The lower surface of the tubular shaft 110 is formed in an inverted conical shape. On the lower surface of the tubular shaft 110, a circular hole 111 concentric with the axis is formed in the center. The small diameter portion 11b of the rod-shaped shaft 11 is inserted into the circular hole 111 from above. Further, on the bottom wall of the tubular shaft 110, as shown in the enlarged view of FIG. 7, an engaging recess 112 capable of engaging with the engaging protrusion 11c is formed on the upper surface. The engaging recess 112 constitutes a second engaging portion.

The upper half of the tubular shaft 110 is formed by two arcuate walls 110b and 110b partitioned by two slits 110a and 110a extending in the vertical direction. Each arc wall 110b is inserted into the corresponding arc hole 153 from below. Further, a protrusion 110c (FIG. 9) is formed on the outer side of the upper end in the circumferential middle portion of each arc-shaped wall 110b. The lower surface of the protrusion 110c constitutes a downward surface. Each protrusion 110c is inserted into the corresponding notch 153a from below.
As a result, the tubular shaft 110 can move up and down with respect to the body 150.
Although not shown, the tubular shaft 110 has a collar formed on the outer periphery thereof, while the body 150 is provided with a retaining member for supporting the collar from below to prevent it from coming off. ..

Further, a coil spring 114 is provided in the tubular shaft 110. The coil spring 114 is arranged between the upper surface of the bottom wall of the tubular shaft 110 and the upper wall of the circular hole 154, and urges the tubular shaft 110 downward.

<< Combination of top toy 1 and top toy 1A >>
The top toy 1 and the top toy 1A are abutted against each other from the vertical direction, and the shaft portion 10 of the top toy 1, that is, the lower plate 101 is seated in the circular recess 151 so that the rod-shaped shaft 11 and the circular hole 152 are matched with each other. At this time, the rod-shaped shaft 11 is in the descending position, but does not protrude from the lower end of the tubular shaft 110.
Next, the tubular shaft 110 is strongly pushed into the body 150 against the urging force of the coil spring 114 by hand. As a result, the tubular shaft 110 moves upward with respect to the main body (body 150) of the top toy 1A, and the protrusion 110c engages with the upper surface of the convex portion 101b on the top toy 1 side. The portion where the upper upper surface of the convex portion 101b is formed has elasticity. The upper surface of the convex portion 101b constitutes an upward surface. Further, the engaging protrusion 11c and the engaging recess 112 are engaged with each other by the upward movement of the tubular shaft 110. As a result, the relative rotation between the shaft portion 10 of the top toy 1 and the top toy 1A becomes impossible. On the other hand, the engagement between the engaging protrusion 11c and the engaging recess 112 is released when the rod-shaped shaft 11 is grounded. As a result, the shaft portion 10 of the top toy 1 and the top toy 1A can rotate relative to each other.
As shown in FIG. 9, the convex portion 101b is specifically formed in the middle of the circumferential direction of the groove 101a extending in the vertical direction of the lower plate 101. The engagement between the engaging protrusion 11c and the engaging recess 112 is released when the shaft portion 10 of the top toy 1 and the top toy 1A rotate relative to each other, and the tubular shaft 110 is disengaged by the urging force of the coil spring 114. It projects downward relative to 1A.

"how to play"
Subsequently, a method of using the top toy 100 will be described.
In this case, the rotational force of the top toy 100 is charged by the launcher 50 as shown in FIG. The launcher 50 has a mechanism in which the frame holder 53 is rotated when the handle 51 is pulled.
A fork 54 is formed in the top holder 53, and the fork 54 is inserted into the arc-shaped slit 46 of the body 40, and the claw 54b is engaged under 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 the top holder 53 is stopped, while the top toy 1 is still rotated by the inertial force. Therefore, the top toy 1 follows the inclined surface 54a of the fork 54. Comes off from the frame holder 53.

The top toy 100 launched in this way is rotated in a predetermined field, and when it collides with the opponent's top toy 100, the body 40 has a shaft portion 10 and a performance variable ring 30 due to impact force or rubbing due to the collision. A force (external impact) acts in the direction opposite to the direction of rotation. As a result, the first top toy 1 and the top toy 1A are disassembled (first stage disassembly). Even after the disassembly of the first stage, the top toy 1 and the top toy 1A continue to rotate. Then, when an external impact acts on the body 40 of the top toy 1, the body 40 rotates relative to the rotation direction of the shaft portion 10 and the performance variable ring 30. Then, the ridge 21 meshes with the undulating portion 45 of the body 40, and the urging force of the coil spring 19 acts on the ridge 21, so that each time the impact force due to the collision acts, the shaft portion 10 with respect to the body 40. When the coupling release position is reached by rotating relative to each other and changing the meshing position, the claw 44 of the body 40 is disengaged from the claw 17 of the shaft portion 10, so that the body 40 is moved from the shaft portion 10 by the urging force of the coil spring 19. Separate (second stage disassembly). Then, in FIG. 1, as shown on the right side, the top toy 1 is disassembled.

<< Modified example of this embodiment >>
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 upper portion is the shaft portion 10 of the first top toy 1 and the lower portion is the second top toy 1A is shown, but if the upper portion is provided with a rod-shaped shaft, It can also be applied to one top toy.

Further, in the above embodiment, the rod-shaped shaft 11 is lowered by its own weight, but it may be lowered by the urging of the spring. In this way, relative rotation can be suppressed even when the top toy 100 is not upright.

Further, in the above embodiment, the engaging protrusion 11c of the rod-shaped shaft 11 is engaged with the engaging recess 112 of the tubular shaft 110, but the engaging protrusion 11c may be engaged with the body 150.
