Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Technical field to which the invention pertains This invention relates to an air-filled vinyl toy that has a decorative ball suspended inside that is powered by a dry battery or the like and generates sound.

Conventional technology and its disadvantages Conventional decorative beads that can generate sound are exposed directly to the outside without being covered, so they are covered with dust during long-term use, making it difficult to completely remove them. There are disadvantages such as rusting and dust entering the interior and corroding the sound generating part such as a music box, reducing the quality of the sound produced.
In addition, if there is a wind when using it outdoors, the decorative beads may swing and collide with other nearby objects, or the hanging strings may become tangled, causing malfunctions. Ta.

Purpose of this invention In view of the above points, this invention aims to provide an inflatable vinyl toy that is unaffected by wind and dust, can be used in any location, and has an excellent appearance. purpose.

Embodiment of this invention Next, an embodiment of this invention will be described based on the drawings.

The toy based on this invention, as shown in Figure 1,
It consists of a hollow container 1 made of a foldable transparent synthetic resin sheet such as vinyl, and a sound emitting bead 2 suspended within the container.

The hollow container 1 has an air supply port 3 with a stopper, and by blowing air through the air supply port and filling it,
Because it is almost rod-shaped and has a flat bottom,
It can be placed upright on the floor, or connected to an appropriate object with a string 5 passed through multiple string loops 4 protruding from the top surface, or hung on a protruding object such as a nail with a hanging ring attached to the top surface. You can lower it by doing something like this.

At any position within the container 1, in the illustrated case,
A hook passing member 6 is provided on the lower surface of the upper surface portion 1A, and a hook 7 is inserted through the hook passing member.
The decorative ball 2 is suspended by.

As shown in FIG. 2, the decorative bead 2 is made by fixing the opposing opening edges of two left and right cup-shaped members 2a and 2b by screwing, fitting, abutting screws, etc. One member 2a has a dry cell storage section 9 on the side corresponding to the bottom of the cup, which can be opened and closed by a lid 8, and by opening the lid 8, dry batteries can be stored and replaced in the storage section. There is a partition plate 1 between the battery compartment and the opposite side.
0, and an electric music box 11 as an example of sound generating means driven by a dry cell is provided on the surface of the partition plate opposite to the dry cell storage section.

11a is a frame fixed to the partition plate 10, 11b is a drum rotatably attached to the frame, 11c is a reed that is played by the needle of the drum, and the drum 11b is attached to the frame 11.
Gear 1 is controlled by a small motor 12 attached to a.
3, 14, and is rotated via a connecting shaft 15 and gears 16, 17, and can be turned on by storing a dry cell battery in the dry cell storage section 9, or by turning on a power switch if a power switch is provided. As a result, the motor 12 rotates and the electric music box 11 generates sound.

A gear 21 fixed on a shaft 20 rotatably supported between support plates 18 and 19 is engaged with the gear 14, and a gear 22 fixed on the same axis is connected to the support plate 1.
9 is engaged with a gear 24 fixed on a shaft 23 rotatably held, and the tip of a connecting rod 25 fixed to the end of the shaft 23 connects both the left and right members 2a,
A hook 28 is passed through a hole 27 provided at the tip of the connecting rod 25, and a large number of decorative strings 29 are inserted into the hook. are connected.

In the illustrated example, the shafts 15 and 23 are separated to have different rotational speeds and are provided with gears 21, 22, 24, but it is also possible to make the shafts 15 and 23 into one and omit these gears. .

Since the hook 28 is provided on the opposite side of the hook 7 that suspends the decorative beads 2, an air supply port 3 is provided inside the container 1.
When air is blown into the container to inflate it into a rod shape and stand it upright, the decorative beads 2 are suspended and the strings 29 hang down like the threads of a kusudama. Then, as the electric music box 11 operates, the decorative thread of the kusudama also rotates. With the hook 28 side facing upward,
The hook can also be hung by passing it through the hook threading member 6, and when the decorative ball is hung by the hook 28 in this way, the decorative string 2 is attached to the lower hook 7.
When the ball 9 is allowed to hang down, the decorative ball 2 rotates while making a sound.

The container 1 is provided with an opening/closing window 30 at a position corresponding to the dry battery compartment of the decorative beads 2 on the upper side surface, and a removable lid 31 of the opening/closing window is opened and a finger is inserted through the opening/closing window. Then, the lid 8 can be removed to replace the dry batteries in the dry battery storage section.

With the above configuration, after storing the dry batteries through the opening/closing window 30 and operating the electric music box, the lid 3
1 is closed, the container 1 is filled with air from the air supply port 3 to inflate it sufficiently, and when the container 1 is placed upright on a flat surface or hung by hanging it from a suitable object with the string 5, a predetermined amount of air is released from the decorative beads 2. The music flows out and becomes a soothing sound inside the container before exiting to the outside, so the sound of the music box gives a pleasant feeling to the listener. In addition, since the decorative beads are stored in a transparent container, they can be seen from the outside.
The rotating string 29 or the rotating decorative beads 2 and decorative string 29 attract the viewer's attention. Therefore, this toy is
When used in a store, it has an appealing effect to customers and is effective as a store decoration.

In addition, since the decorative beads are stored in a container, rainwater and dust will not get into the music box whether it is used indoors or outdoors. It is possible to generate an elegant sound over a long period of time without any noise. Furthermore, even when the decorative string 29 is attached, it is possible to prevent the drive section of the sound generating means from burning out or other malfunctions due to unnecessary tangling caused by the wind. If the decorative balls and decorative strings are hung so that they can be rotated, it is highly safe when used as a merry toy for infants.

The sound generating means housed in the ornament may be constructed of an electronic integrated circuit instead of a music box.

Effects of this invention As mentioned above, according to this invention, since the sound emitting decoration beads are used suspended in a hollow container that is expanded by blowing air into it, the sound generating means can be used for a long period of time. It operates unaffected by wind, dust, rain, etc., maintains a flexible and beautiful sound, and has an excellent appearance that can be seen through from the outside, as well as an opening/closing window for changing batteries. The dry battery can be easily replaced, and since the hollow container is foldable, it can be folded for storage or stretched and reused.

Further, a hook passing member is provided on the lower side of the upper surface of the hollow container, and hooks are provided above and below the decorative beads, and one of the hooks is rotated in conjunction with the operation of the sound generating means, so that the decorative beads can be inserted into the hollow container. It is possible to select at will whether the device is suspended in such a way that it only generates sound and does not rotate, or it is suspended so that it rotates as the sound is generated.

No matter which option you choose, you can attach decorative thread to the lower hook to make it as easy to wear as the decorative beads, as well as the Kusudama.
Even when the decorative balls rotate with decorative threads, they are housed in the hollow container, so it is highly safe even when used as a merry ball for infants.
