Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a toy that imitates the movements of a snail.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a toy that can reproduce humorous snail movements using a simple mechanism.

The toy of the present invention has a main body 1 having an arbitrary shape,
Movable members 2 and 3 arranged forward and backward at the bottom of the main body 1
It has a drive source 4 provided in the main body 1 and an interlocking member 5 between the movable member 2 or 3 and the drive source 4, and one of the movable members 2 or 3 performs reciprocating rotational movement, and its tip is rearwardly downward. Contains movement elements toward. The body 1 shown in the illustrated embodiment has the outer shape of a snail shell, and the snail body is divided into front and rear moving members 2, 3, and the rear member (rear moving member) 3 is driven by the front member 2. 1. It is pivotally supported at the rear upper part by a pin 6 at the lower front part so as to be able to swing in a vertical plane. The front and rear members 2 and 3 each have a swinging surface 2' having an arc-shaped lower surface,
It is becoming 3'. The drive source 4 of the embodiment is a rotary drive source with a built-in mainspring (not shown), and has a winding shaft 4a on one side and a rotating shaft 4b on the other side.
An arm shaft 7 that rotates at a constant radius is fixed to the arm shaft 7, and the arm shaft 7 is rotatably supported by a bearing hole 3b in the base end 3a of the rear member 3, and from the hole 3b inside the member 3. a pair of sliding grooves 8 formed along the longitudinal direction;
Together with a fixing pin 9 attached to the main body 1 to engage with the sliding groove 8, an interlocking member 5 is formed. Furthermore, drive source 4
The mechanism 5 is not limited to a spring, and the interlocking mechanism 5 does not need to be as shown in the drawings. Reference numeral 10 indicates the rear moving member 3
A rubber friction piece attached to the bottom surface of the tip 3c,
11 is a friction piece attached to the lower surface of the front member 2. When the friction piece 10 of the rear member 3 is in contact with the ground, the friction piece 11 of the front member 2 is separated (Fig. 1), and the friction piece 11 of the front member 2 is The rear member 3 is attached so that the friction pieces 10 of the rear member 3 are separated when the rear member 3 is in contact with the ground (FIG. 2). 1 in each figure
2 is a set screw for the drive source 4; 13 is a screw that connects the two-part main body 1; 14 is a bearing for the pin 6; 15
16 is a positioning pin, 16 is its fitting hole, and 17 is a snail's corner in which a swinging eyeball 18 is housed.
FIGS. 5 and 6 show other embodiments of the present invention in which the main body 1 is a container 1' for toothpicks 19 and a container 1'' having the appearance of a tire.

Since the present invention has the content as described above, when the rotating shaft 4b is rotated by the operation of the drive source 4, the rear member 3 also makes a reciprocating rotational movement, and as a reaction, the main body 1 swings up and down, and the front The member 2 also swings up and down about the pin 6. And the rear member 3 is the tip part 3
Since the locus of c moves in the lower half from above to below and from the front to the rear, in total moving backward and downward, while the friction piece 10 of the rear member 3 is in contact with the ground, the body 1 and the front When the member 2 is pushed forward and the friction pieces 11 of the front member 2 touch the ground, the friction pieces 10 of the rear member 3 are pulled upward and the next pushing operation begins. Therefore, according to the present invention, the front and rear moving members 2
Or 3 includes a moving element that performs reciprocating motion and whose tip moves rearward and downward, so for example, by moving the rear member 3 rearward and downward, the entire body is moved forward, and at the same time,
The main body 1 has a feature of making the body 1 taller and providing a toy that moves in a manner similar to the movements of a complicated snail.

[Brief explanation of the drawing]

The figures show a toy that imitates the movement of a snail according to the present invention. Fig. 1 is a side sectional view of the first embodiment, Fig. 2 is a side view, Fig. 3 is an exploded perspective view, and Fig. 4 is a toy of the snail movement. The explanatory drawings, FIGS. 5 and 6, are side views of the second and third embodiments. 1... Main body, 2, 3... Front and rear moving member, 4...
... Drive source, 5... Interlocking member.

Claims (1)

[Scope of utility model registration request] A main body 1 having an arbitrary shape, movable members 2 and 3 arranged back and forth at the bottom of the main body 1, a drive source 4 provided inside the main body 1, and an interlocking member 5 between the movable member 2 or 3 and the drive source 4. The front member 2 is pivotably supported at the rear upper part of the main body by a pin 6 at the front lower part of the main body, and
Further, the interlocking member 5 is formed at the base end portion 3a of the rear member 3, where the arm shaft 7 engages with an arm shaft 7 provided to rotate at a constant radius around the rotation shaft 4b of the drive source 4. It is characterized by consisting of a bearing hole 3b, a sliding groove 8 provided from the hole 3b along the longitudinal direction of the member 3, and a fixing pin 9 attached to the main body 1 to engage with the groove 8. A toy that imitates the movements of a snail.
