(Purpose of the invention) The purpose of the invention is to propose a swimming toy with a simple structure that allows the toy body to swim underwater, thereby allowing the user to enjoy unique and unexpected fun swimming games. shall be.

(Technical means to achieve the purpose) As a technical means to achieve the above purpose,
The swimming toy according to the present invention is characterized by having the following requirements.

(b) The toy body is formed in a hollow shape, and is provided with a buoyancy member and a drive unit for driving an underwater propeller powered by a spring and for stabilizing the center of gravity of the toy body. thing.

(b) The above-mentioned drive unit and underwater propeller shall be formed so that they can freely appear and retract from an opening in the bottom of the toy body.

(Operations and Effects of the Invention) As described above, the swimming toy according to the present invention is provided with a buoyancy member and a drive unit that drives an underwater propeller using a spring as a power source in the toy body. Since the drive unit is formed to be able to come out and go out from the bottom of the toy body, the buoyancy member allows the toy body to float when placed in water, and the drive unit pulled out from the bottom of the toy body allows the toy body to float when placed in water. The stability of can be measured. By pulling out the drive unit and the underwater propeller from the toy body and rotating the underwater propeller, the toy body can be made to swim and enjoy play. Furthermore, since the structure is simple, it is easy to manufacture, thereby making it possible to obtain an inexpensive product.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In the figure, reference numeral A indicates a swimming toy according to the present invention, and this swimming toy A has a toy body 1 imitating a monster.
is formed.

The toy main body 1 is formed to have a hollow interior, and an opening 2 is provided at the bottom thereof. Arm members 5, 5 are movably attached to both external sides of the toy main body 1 via spindles 4, 4, and a tail member 3 is connected to the rear via a spindle 6. ing. Thereby, the tail member 3 can be used as a rudder member by rotating 90 degrees downward about the support shaft 6. Further, on both sides of the inside of the toy main body 1, connecting rods 7, 7 are arranged, and a buoyancy member 8 made of styrofoam is disposed above the approximate center, and the upper outer surfaces of the connecting rods 7, 7 are arranged respectively. The tips of the support shafts 4, 4 are fixed to the. Furthermore, locking support shafts 9, 9 are provided protruding from the lower inner surfaces of the connecting rods 7, 7 at opposing positions. With this, the above link 7, 7
By moving back and forth about the support shafts 4, 4, the arms 5, 5 can be moved up and down. Note that the buoyancy member 8 is not limited to foamed polystyrene, and may be, for example, an air bag.

Reference numeral 10 indicates a water gun installed at the front inside of the toy main body 1. This water gun 10 includes a cylindrical member 11, a pressing disk 12 that moves up and down within the cylindrical member 11, and a base end fixed to the pressing disk 12. The pressure rod 13 is formed by the press rod 13. The tip 13a of this pressing rod 13 protrudes from the nose portion of the toy main body 1. Reference numeral 14 indicates a hose attached to a discharge port 11a provided at the lower part of the cylindrical member 11, and the tip 14a of this hose 14 is fixed to the mouth of the toy body 1. By this, by taking the tip 13a of the press rod 13 protruding from the nose part and moving it up and down, the water in the cylindrical member 11 is transferred to the tip 14 of the hose 14 through the press disk 12.
You can fly from a. In addition, the above hose 1
Although the tip of 4 is fixed to the mouth of the toy main body 1, it is not necessarily limited to this, and may be, for example, the belly, the eye, or the like.

A indicates a drive unit disposed in the center of the toy body 1, and this drive unit a has supporting pieces 18, 19, 19 provided at the front and both sides of the machine frame a'. It is guided and supported so as to be movable up and down by guide support members 20, 21, and 21 erected inside, and is formed to be freely protrusive and retractable from the bottom of the toy main body 1. As shown in FIG. 3, the drive unit a has a main gear portion S formed by fixing a power source by a spring 26 and a spur gear 27 to a support shaft 25, and the upper end of this support shaft 25 has a main gear portion S. A swinging member 28 is loosely fitted so as to be swingable, and a rotary knob 29 is fixed to the lower end. Further, this swinging member 12 has a substantially T-shape, and support walls 30, 30 are erected at both ends thereof, and the connecting rods 7, 7 are attached to the support walls 30, 30. Locking holes 31, 31 are formed in which the locking support shafts 9, 9 protruding from the inner surface of the lower part are locked, and a long hole 32 is further bored at the tip.

The spur gear 27 meshes with a pinion 34 and a pinion 35 of a spur gear 35, which are arranged and fixed in parallel to a support shaft 33, and a rotary disk 36 is fixed to the upper end of the support shaft 33. A support shaft 37 is provided protruding from the surface end of the rotating disk 36, and the support shaft 37 is loosely fitted into an elongated hole 32 bored at the tip of the swinging member 28. . Further, the spur gear 35 is meshed with a pinion 40 fixed to the support shaft 39 and a pinion 40 of a spur gear 41, and the spur gear 41 is meshed with a pinion 43 fixed to the support shaft 42. Furthermore, a weight member 44 is fixed to one end of this pinion 43. The weight member 44 makes the rotational force of the main gear part S constant. 45 is the above-mentioned support shaft 39
A pinion fixed to the lower end is shown, and a crown gear 47 fixed to one end of a support shaft 46 is meshed with this pinion 45, and an underwater propeller 48 is fixed to the other end of this support shaft 46. .

Since the swimming toy A is constructed as described above, in order to use it, first, the drive unit a, which is guided and supported inside the toy body 1 by the guide support members 20, 21, and 21, is Pull it out through the opening 2 provided at the bottom. By this, the second
As shown in FIG. b, a locking hole 3 provided in the support walls 30, 30 of the swinging member 28 is loosely fitted to the support shaft 25 protruding from the upper part of the machine frame a' of the drive unit a.
The locking support shafts 9, 9 protruding from the lower inner surfaces of the connecting rods 7, 7 are locked to the rods 1, 31. next,
If the toy main body 1 is floated in water after winding up the mainspring 26 fixed to the spindle 25 by the rotary knob 29, it will be fixed to the spindle 25 by the unwinding force of the mainspring 26. The spur gear 27 rotates, and the pinion 34 meshed with the spur gear 27 also rotates, and the support shaft 33 to which the pinion 34 is fixed also rotates. The swinging member 28 is caused to swing back and forth about the support shaft 25 by a rotating disk 36 fixed to the upper end of the swinging member 28. and,
Since the swinging member 28 is locked with the support shafts 9, 9 provided at the lower part of the connecting rods 7, 7, this allows the connecting rods 7, 7 to move back and forth. The arm members 5, 5 can be moved up and down using the support shafts 4, 4 as fulcrums. Further, since the pinion 34 fixed to the support shaft 33 and the spur gear 35 arranged in parallel are meshed with the pinion 40, as the pinion 40 rotates, the pinion fixed to the lower end of the support shaft 39 45 also rotates. A crown gear 47 is meshed with this pinion 45, and an underwater propeller 48 is fixed to the tip of a support shaft 46 to which this crown gear 47 is fixed. The toy main body 1 can be made to swim. Furthermore, since a water gun 10 is provided inside the toy main body 1, the tip 13a of the press rod 13 protruding from the nose of the toy main body 1 is taken and moved up and down to control the mouth. You can also enjoy playing with a water gun by squirting water out of it.

Note that the shape of the toy main body 1 is not limited to that of a monster. Further, the driving force of the drive unit a is not limited to a spring, and may be, for example, a motor.
