DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a toy having a timekeeping function and a toy function.

In general, timekeeping devices such as wristwatches that are worn on the body are often used only to function as a clock and have no other value.

In particular, in the past, wristwatches were not intended for children because they focused on practical watch functions and were too simple, not interesting, and had no play elements.Even if wristwatches were manufactured and provided for children, there was little need for them to carry a watch, and it was rather a nuisance. As a result, the usage rate was extremely low and there was a problem.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a toy for children that can be carried around as a personal accessory or accessory and has a high usage rate.In particular, while it is worn on the wrist, it can be used as a regular wristwatch. is possible,
Provides a toy that can be transformed into an action toy when taken off the wrist, increases portability and usage, and has practicality as a watch and play elements as a toy, greatly improving the sense of hobby. It's about doing.

The present invention is provided with a movable body that is provided with an attachment part on a band for wearing on the body, which is detachably attached to the attachment part via a locking means, and in which the movable body is provided with a clock part having a timekeeping function and a time display function. It is an action toy that features:

Embodiments of the present invention will be described using the drawings.

Action toys can be attached directly to the body or on a bicycle.
It consists of an attachment locking member such as a band A that is attached to a hat, bag, etc., and a movable body B.

The movable main body B includes a clock part 1 having a timekeeping function and a time display function, and is configured to be detachable from a mounting part 2 provided on the band A via a locking means 3.
The movable main body B includes not only those that have already been completed as figures, but also those that can be assembled after assembly, such as those that have been disassembled into separate states, or those that have been expanded and overlapped in a connected state. Furthermore, any figurative object such as a machine, animal, doll, virtual object, etc. can be used as long as at least a part of it is movable.
It is preferable to have a design that has movement (including migration, flight, etc.) appropriate to its shape, and also has fashionability when attached to band A. In addition, the driving force for the movement of the movable main body B can be driven by using a power source when the clock part 1 has a power source, electric power from a dedicated power source, mechanical power such as a spring, or even human power. Direct drive is possible.

As the locking means 3, a known locking means that is easy to attach and detach and can be securely locked is adopted.

The clock part 1, regardless of whether it is electric or mainspring, analog or digital, can be fixed or detached to any part of the movable main body B, regardless of the outer or inner surface, as long as it is visible at all times or after a certain operation. It is possible to install. That is, by making a part of the figure into a lid that can be opened and closed, and by providing a clock part inside, it is possible to provide a protective effect for the clock part 1 in addition to design and unexpectedness, and the movable body can be bent, expanded and contracted. - When a rotating or other displaceable member is provided, providing the clock part 1 on the displacing member also makes it possible to adjust the viewing direction of the clock, making it convenient and fun to use as a toy.

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the band A is a wrist band, the movable main body B is formed of a vehicle body equipped with rolling wheels, and a clock part 1 is disposed inside a bonnet that can be opened and closed. has been done. As the locking means 3, one end is inserted into the sliding hole provided in the base plate of the flat mounting part 2 provided in the middle part of the band A.
A and a pair of locking pieces protruding from an opening provided in the mounting part 2, the other end of which is an engaging part 3b with the vehicle body consisting of a guide surface 3' and a locking pawl 3''. The device is biased by a spring and disengaged by pressing the operating section against the repulsive force of the spring.A locking piece is attached to the bottom of the vehicle body. An engaging portion (not shown) corresponding to portion 3b is provided.

The operation section 3a is normally placed in a position closer to the surface of the action toy, so that it is less likely to cause the vehicle body to fall off due to a mistake.

As shown in FIG. 1, when the car body is pressed against the mounting part 2 to attach it to the band A, the engaging part 3b comes close to the insertion guide surface and becomes ready for insertion. At the point when the lock passes through the guide surface 3', the engaging portion 3b is returned to the engaging direction by the spring, and the locking pawl 3'' firmly locks the vehicle body.
It is also used as a fashionable wristwatch.

On the other hand, when the band A is removed from the arm and the operating part is pressed, the engaging part 3b is disengaged, the vehicle body can be separated from the band A, and it is possible to play as a running vehicle body.

In another embodiment shown in FIG.
The structure is such that it can be attached and detached via the same locking means 3 as described above. It can run and walk using firefly legs or wheels, but it can also be made to fly. And the lighting section 4, which is a feature of fireflies.
It also has a flashing function.

Figure 4 shows an example of a vehicle body in which a timekeeping section 1 is provided on the surface of the movable body B, and Figures 5 and 6 show a movable body B consisting of a special vehicle body that can run and is equipped with a displacement member, with a timekeeping section on the displacement part. In the example shown in FIG. 7, the clock part 1 is detachably attached to a clown-shaped movable body B, and the surface of the clock part 1 can be exposed on either the front or back of the movable body B. Attachment part 2 can be attached by arbitrarily selecting the front and back surfaces of movable body B.
It is in a form that can be installed on. Enjoy the movement of your hands as the clown's hat automatically lifts up to reveal its face. In this case, it is also possible to have a structure in which the clock part 1 is directly locked to the mounting part 2.

Depending on the shape of the movable body B, it is also possible to enjoy its movement while attached to the band A.

According to the present invention, while the movable main body is attached to the band, it can be used like a normal watch, and it can also be removed from the band and played with as a toy. Therefore, it is possible to arouse strong interest and attachment in children, resulting in a high usage rate, and it is also possible to allow children to develop a sense of time and time by looking at a clock at an early stage.
