Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a merry-go-round.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a merry-go-round in which the main decorative surface of a flat decorative body attached to a rotating body via an arm is inclined at an angle that allows it to face the face (line of sight) of a sleeping infant. It is.

A merry-go-round is generally constructed from a combination of a rotating body and a decorative body attached to it, but in conventional merry-go-rounds, the combination of the rotating body and decorative body is based on an adult's perspective when the body is suspended. Many of them use strings, and as the rotating body rotates, the decorations move apart as they revolve around each other, making it impossible for the main parts of the decorations to correspond to the line of sight of the infant sleeping on the bed. The reality was that young children watching this were simply interested in the ``movement'' of the rotating objects and the ``melody'' of the music box, because they were easily accustomed to it. The present invention is intended to address these problems, and has been able to achieve its purpose by completing the invention described below.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

1 is an inverted bowl-shaped rotating body, and a hook 11 is attached to the lower end of a rotating driving body 3 attached to the tip of a supporting arm 2.
It is rotatably suspended through the . Reference numerals 4 and 4 designate arms that are detachably attached to the periphery of the rotating body 1 at predetermined intervals, and at the lower end of the arm, a decorative body 5 is mounted on a horizontal surface so that its decorative surface faces the line of sight of a sleeping infant. It is installed at an appropriate angle.
The arm 4 is made of hard synthetic resin or the like, and has a clamping portion 41 formed at its upper end for fitting and locking into a fitting hole formed at the peripheral edge of the rotating body 1, and a lower end. A locking plate 42 for fitting into a locking frame 51 formed on the back surface of the decorative body 5 is formed on the decorative body 5. The main decorative surface of the decorative body 5 is appropriately inclined with respect to the horizontal plane so as to face the line of sight of the sleeping infant, so that the infant can easily see the main decorative surface of the decorative body 5. Furthermore, since the decorative body 5 is attached to the rotary body 1 via the arm 4, even when the rotary body 1 rotates, the main decorative surface of the decorative body 5 does not displace randomly and always maintains the desired tilted state. This means that the sleeping infant can always accurately recognize the main decorative surface of the decoration 5. Note that the decoration 5 attached to the lower end of the arm 4 may be changed to suit the angle corresponding to the infant's face (line of sight). The angle that corresponds to the infant's line of sight is not only when the decoration is positioned directly above the sleeping infant's face, but also when the entire merry-go-round is positioned diagonally away from above the infant. This also includes a case where the main decorative surface of the decorative body 5 is arranged to correspond to the line of sight of a sleeping infant.

Note that the shape of the rotating body 1 or the shape of the decorative bodies 5, 5 can be arbitrarily selected from various shapes.

In the present invention, as described above, the decorations 5, 5 attached to the peripheral part of the rotating body 1 via arms are tilted at an angle corresponding to the face (line of sight) of a sleeping infant, so that the rotating body can rotate. However, the main decorative surface of the decorative object will not be dislocated, and children will always be able to easily and accurately recognize the decorative surface. It has the characteristics of being useful for arousing the senses and improving interest.
