The present invention relates to a rotating toy for infants and toddlers in which the rotation and rocking of a swinging member can be seen through a dome-shaped transparent cover.

The feature of the rotating toy is that the base is covered with a transparent dome-shaped cover to form a predetermined space, and a hollow cylindrical support is erected at the center of the base. A rotating cylinder and a sliding rod whose upper end is connected to a push button protruding outside the transparent cover and whose lower end is fitted into a guide cylinder erected within the base are disposed within the column. This sliding rod is biased in an upward direction by a push spring disposed within the guide cylinder, and a rack is carved in the longitudinal direction of the central length. Furthermore, a rotary body is disposed at the upper part of the cylindrical column and is rotatable together with the rotary cylinder and has a swinging member attached to its outer peripheral edge. In this rotating body, when the sliding rod, to which elastic force is applied by pressing the push button, moves upward, a gear attached to the gear shaft of the pinion that meshes with the rack meshes with the sliding rod and rotates. The swinging member is configured to rotate integrally with a rotating cylinder body, and the swinging member swings.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

Figures 1 and 2 show an embodiment of the rotating toy according to the present invention. 1 is a base, which consists of frames 2 and 3 divided into upper and lower parts, and the upper frame 2 is made of glass or A dome-shaped transparent cover 4 made of synthetic resin is mounted. At the center of each of the underframes 2 and 3, a circular rotary body 5 and a cylindrical column 6 are installed in two stages.
Three butterfly-shaped swinging members 7 are pivotably supported by a. A projecting piece 7c hangs down from the lower part of the boss part 7b on the back surface of each swinging member 7, and this engages with an engaging piece 6a projecting radially from the outer peripheral surface of the support column 6, so that the rotating body 5 As will be described later, when rotating, the protruding piece 7c passes against the engaging piece 6a, so that the swinging member 7 slowly swings left and right about the shaft pin 7a.

Inside the column 6, there is a rotating cylinder 8 shown in FIG.
are mated. A crown gear 9 is provided at the inner upper part of the rotating cylinder 8, while a ratchet wheel 10 and a gear 11 are formed at the lower end.

On the other hand, a rectangular guide tube 20 is installed upright in the center of the lower frame 3, and a push spring 21 is attached to the guide tube 20.
is inserted. A sliding rod 22 is fitted into the guide cylinder 20 from above and has its lower end abutted against the push spring 21, and is provided so as to pass through the shaft hole 2a of the upper frame 2. The operating rod 22 is further provided so as to be able to slide inside the rotary cylinder 8.

The sliding rod 22 has a frame shape with opposing sides open, and includes a lower member 22a with a rack 23 formed on one side of the inner wall of the frame, an upper end protruding from the opening 4a of the transparent cover 4, and a push button 25 at the tip. is composed of connected connecting rods 24.

A long hole 2 is provided in the upper part of the rectangular guide tube 20.
0a is open, and a gear shaft 2 with a pinion 26 that meshes with the rack 23 is mounted in the elongated hole 20a.
7 is supported and a pinion 26 is attached to the coaxial shaft 27.
A gear 28 is attached to the shaft. This gear 28 meshes with the crown gear 9 of the rotary cylinder 8 to rotate the rotary cylinder 8.

When the push button 25 is pressed and the sliding rod 22 is pushed down against the spring force of the push spring 21, the gear shaft 27 is located at the lower end of the elongated hole 20a.
Since the gear 28 and the crown gear 9 are spaced apart and do not mesh with each other, the downward movement can be performed without resistance. When the sliding rod 22, which has been sufficiently pushed down and has elastic force, moves upward, the rack 23
Since the pinion 26 that meshes with is pushed up, the gear 28 moves upward and meshes with the crown gear 9.
Rotational force is transmitted to the rotating cylinder 8.

Next, the gear mechanism disposed within the base 1 is driven by the rotation of the rotary cylinder 8. That is, a gear mechanism 30 that increases the speed in stages is disposed around the guide cylinder 20 erected from the lower frame 3, and a pinion 31 provided at the tip on the input side is connected to the rotating cylinder. It meshes with the gear 11 of the body 8. A pinion 32 arranged at the output end of the gear mechanism 30
The shaft 33 rotates at high speed, and its lower end is supported on the lower frame 3, and its upper end projects from the shaft hole 34 of the upper frame 2. And this axis 33
A rotating decorative member 35 in the shape of a flower petal is fitted into the holder.

Further, a rotary member 41 is rotatably fitted to a support pin 40 provided upright on the lower frame 3, and a claw piece 42 is made to protrude laterally from the upper end of the rotary member 41.
2 is engaged with the ratchet wheel 10 of the rotary cylinder body 8. Also, a locking piece 43 provided at the bottom of the rotating member 41
One end of a tension spring 44, the other end of which is locked to the lower frame 3, is locked to. Therefore, when the ratchet wheel 10 rotates, the pawl piece 42 of the rotating member 41 engages with and disengages from the ratchet wheel 10 and rotates.

From the rotating member 41 to the shaft hole 48 of the upper underframe 2
The pin shaft 47 is inserted through the pin shaft 47 and projects upward. A striking member 49 is fitted onto the tip of the pin shaft 47 from above. Therefore, the striking member 49 rotates together with the rotating member 41, and when it is bounced in the opposite direction by the tension spring 44, it strikes the bell member 50 fastened to the upper frame 2 and generates a bell sound.

The rotating toy constructed as described above functions as follows. That is, the user presses down the sliding rod 22 by placing the palm of the hand on the push button 25. Then, the push spring 21 in the guide tube 20 is compressed, and the push spring 21 is attached to the sliding rod 22.
A driving force is stored to raise the . Next, when the user releases the push button 25 and releases the pressure on the sliding rod 22, the sliding rod 22 starts to gradually rise due to the elastic force of the push spring 21. At the same time, the rack 23 of the sliding rod 22 rotates the pinion 26, which rotates the crown gear 9 via the coaxial gear 28, so that the rotating cylinder 8 rotates.

When the rotary cylinder 8 rotates, the upper and lower decorative members connected thereto start operating at the same time. That is, the rotating body 5 fitted on the upper part of the rotating member 8 rotates, and a plurality of swinging members 7 pivotally supported on the outer periphery of the rotating body 5 rotate.
turn at the same time. Each swinging member 7 has a protruding piece 7c provided on the back side of the supporting column 6 fixed on the upper underframe 2.
The butterfly-shaped swinging members 7 swing intermittently as they rotate and engage with the engaging pieces 6a one after another.

On the other hand, the gear 11 at the lower end of the rotary cylinder 8 meshes with the pinion 31 on the input side of the gear mechanism 30 to rotate the rotary decorative member 35 shaped like a petal, which is fitted on the shaft 33 on the output side.

Furthermore, a ratchet wheel 10 rotating at the lower part of the rotary cylinder body 8
rotates the claw piece 42, which is always engaged with this, in the direction in which the ratchet wheel 10 rotates. Then, when the claw piece 42 is disengaged from the ratchet wheel 10, the claw piece 42 returns to its original position due to the spring force. The striking member 49 fitted into the rotating member 41 integrated with the claw piece 42 also operates in the same manner as the claw piece 42,
When the claw piece 42 returns due to spring force, the striking member 49
The tip of the bell member 50 hits the bell member 50. Each of these operations causes the push spring 21 to expand and the sliding rod 2 to
2 will continue to be performed until the upward motion returns.

As described above, according to the rotating toy of the present invention, the driving force is charged by the simple operation of pressing down the push button, and the movable decorative member that also serves as a governor maintains the driving force so as to slowly release it, and each of these movable When young children see the movement of the decorative members, they can show interest and play on their own. Further, since the motive power for moving the movable decorative members is simply stored in spring force, it is highly economical and can be provided at low cost.
