Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a sounding unit, and more specifically to a sounding unit with a built-in sounding device that operates an air pump and sounds a whistle simply by pulling a rotational force applying means such as a string. It is related to.

As shown in FIG. 1, an air pump 4 made of a bellows is housed in a case 2 provided with air holes 6 at appropriate positions, with one end fixed, and the free end of the air pump 4 Heavy png 5 on the side
is attached, and a whistle 3 is attached to the fixed end side of the air pump 4.
There is a known sounding device with a structure attached to which a sound resembling a baby's voice is produced.

When you want to operate this sound device 1 to generate sound, first turn it upside down from the state shown in FIG. becomes. If we restore this state to its original state as shown in Figure 1,
This time, the heavy chimney 5 acts in a direction to contract the air pump 4, the air pump 4 contracts, and the air inside the air pump 4 is discharged through the whistle 3, so the whistle 3 is blown and a sound is produced.

Therefore, when the conventional sound generating device 1 is housed in the body of a doll such as a stuffed toy, no sound is generated unless the doll body is turned upside down and then put back into its normal state.

However, with such conventional devices, if you want the doll to make a sound many times, you have to rotate the doll body each time, which can be troublesome.

The present invention has been made to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional dolls, and provides a sounding unit that can generate sounds by simply pulling a rotational force applying means such as a string without changing the posture of a doll or the like. The purpose is to

In order to achieve this purpose, the sound generating unit according to the present invention is made to be able to rotate by pulling a rotational force applying means such as a string in the frame, while always rotating and returning to its original position. The rotary member is supported on a shaft so that the sound generating device can be operated by the rotary member.

Hereinafter, the content of the present invention will be explained based on the embodiments shown in the drawings.

The sound generating unit 10 according to the present invention is structured as a unit as shown in FIG. That is, this sounding unit 10 includes a frame 11 forming an outer shell, a rotating member 14 rotatably supported within the frame 11,
A sounding device 20 accommodated and supported in the rotating member 14
, a rotational force applying means 17 for applying a rotational force to the rotating member 14, and a return means 18 for applying a rotational force in the return direction to the rotating member 14.

The frame body 11 includes a pair of left and right half frames 12,
It is made by joining 13 pieces together. That is, the half frames 12 and 13 are each made into a bowl shape, and the locking hole 12 is formed along the joint 12a of one half frame 12.
b, 12b... are provided, and the other half frame 13 has locking pieces 13 corresponding to the locking holes 12b, 12b...
a, 13a... are provided. Therefore, when the pair of half frames 12, 13 are brought into pressure contact with each other, the locking pieces 13a, 13a... are brought into contact with the locking holes 12b, 12b.
...and the pair of half frames 12 and 13 are integrated without being separated unless a large force is applied in the direction of separation. Further, the half frames 12 and 13 have decorative holes 12c, 12c..., 13, respectively.
b, 13b... are provided.

The rotating member 14 has a pair of left and right half members 15,1.
The sound generating device 20 is housed and supported in this rotary member 14 so as not to move. Further, rotating shafts 15a and 16a are provided protruding from the outer center portions of the half members 15 and 16 constituting the rotating member 14, respectively. These rotating shafts 15a, 16a are rotatably supported by bearings 12a, 13c formed at the center inside of the half frames 12, 13. In addition, half members 15, 16
Wrapping portions 15b and 16b are provided at the joining portions.

As the sounding device 20 housed in the rotating member 14, the same as the conventional sounding device 1 shown in FIG. 1 using an air pump 4 made of bellows may be used, for example, The type 4 is not limited to bellows, but any type of air pump that operates under the action of gravity may be used. For example, it is a pump or the like (not shown) consisting of a piston and cylinder. Furthermore, the type of sound is not limited, and may be the sound of a cow, sheep, cat, etc. in addition to a baby's voice.

Further, as the rotational force applying means 17, a thread,
One end is fixed and wrapped around the rotating member 16 using a long and thin object, such as a string, belt, wire, etc., regardless of type or shape, and the other end is pulled out from the opening 12e of the frame 11 to apply rotational force to the rotating member 14. It is acceptable as long as it can give the following. A ring 17a may be attached to the outer end of the rotational force applying means 17 to make it easier to pull it out.

Further, in this embodiment, a coil spring is used as the return means 18, and one end of the coil spring is connected to a pin 12f provided on the half frame 12.
The other end of the half member 15 is fixed to a pin (not shown) provided on the outside of the half member 15, and is mounted so as to surround the bearing 12d.

Note that the rotation range of the rotary member 14 is such that the rotary member 14 is returned by the return means 18 and the rotation force applying means 17 is within the range of the winding portions 15b, 1 of the rotary member 14.
6b, and only the ring 17a protrudes outward, the free end side of the air pump 4 in the sound generating device 20, where the heavy spigot 5 is located, is located at the top.
On the other hand, when the rotational force applying means 17 is fully pulled out and uncoiled from the winding parts 15b and 16b of the rotating member 14, the free end side of the air pump 4 where the heavy spigot 5 is located is located on the lower side. It is desirable that the settings be set to

As described above, the pronunciation unit according to the present invention has the following features:
In the frame 11, rotation is made possible by pulling a rotational force applying means 17 such as a string, and on the other hand, a rotating member 14 is supported on a shaft so that it can always rotate and return to its original position. Since the sound generating device 20 is configured to be operated by the member 14, the top and bottom of the sound generating device 20 are reversed between when the rotational force applying means 17 is pulled out and when it is returned. Therefore, simply by pulling out and releasing the rotational force applying means 17, the sound generating device 20 is activated and a sound is produced.

For example, if the sound generating device 10 according to the present invention as described above is embedded in the doll body 21 as shown in FIG. 4, and the rotational force applying means 17 is made retractable,
Even without turning the doll body 21 upside down each time and returning it, the effect that the sound generating device 20 is activated and the sound is produced by simply pulling out and releasing the rotational force applying means 17 can be obtained.

In addition, it is simpler and cheaper to manufacture than a narking mechanism with a built-in tape recorder or the like.
