Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Technical field to which the invention pertains This invention relates to a toy cooker whose heated portion exhibits a flame-like appearance by means of light radiation.

Prior Art and Its Disadvantages In order to provide the appearance of flames coming from a simulated heating part in conventional cookware toys, it is necessary to use relatively complex components, and simple and inexpensive ones are not available. It has not been.

Purpose of this invention The purpose of this invention is to provide a cooking toy that has the simplest possible configuration, creates an appearance similar to that of a real flame, and allows the user to experience the actual feeling of heating.

Means for achieving the objective In order to achieve the above objective, this invention utilizes a special resin that receives light on a flat surface, generates fluorescence internally, and emits the light from the end. The end portion of the resin protruding outward from the opening of the cooking device body is formed into a sawtooth shape, and is provided with means for applying light to the flat portion of the resin.

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

The cooker toy according to this invention consists of a cooker main body A and a light emitter B. As shown in FIG. 3, the light emitter B has a flat part 1 for receiving light and an end part 2 for radiating the light received from the flat part to the outside. In this invention, the end portion 2 is particularly formed in a sawtooth shape. Such light emitters are made of resin containing fluorescent dyes,
This utilizes the property of the resin that when light L is received from the flat part, the fluorescent dye inside emits fluorescence, and the light L travels in the axial direction of the resin and radiates the light L to the outside from the end. If a reflective sticker 3 is attached to the bottom surface of the flat end of the light emitter, the proportion of light that enters from the flat part 1 is emitted from the sawtooth end increases. When using colored transparent resin for the light emitter,
Colored light is emitted from the end 2.

Further, the cooking device main body A is formed in a box shape having a hole 4 at least on the upper surface, and the light emitter B has only its serrated end portion 2 protruding outside from the hole 4, and the other portion is It is kept stored inside. In order to hold the light emitter so that it does not easily come off from the cooker body, the light emitter may be tightly fitted into the hole 4 and fixed, or the light emitter may be inserted into the hole 4 from the inner bottom of the cooker body as shown. A leg 5 may be provided extending toward the hole 4, a lid 6 may be provided on the leg to close the center of the hole 4, and the light emitting body may be fitted and held in the lid. When the lid 6 is provided, the cooking toy has an appearance more similar to that of a gas range, and the end portion 2
This is preferable because the shape of the flame becomes noticeable.

The cooker body A also has means for providing light to the flat part 1 of the light emitter B. In the illustrated example,
An opening 7 facing the flat portion 1 is provided on the side surface of the cooking device body, and constitutes a light providing means.

As a result, when the opening direction of the opening 7 is aligned with a light source such as the sun or an electric lamp, the light entering from the opening 7 hits the flat part 1, and fluorescence is generated inside the light emitter, which protrudes from the top surface of the cooker body. For example, crimson or other colored light is emitted to the outside from the end 2. And, since the end 2 is formed in a serrated shape, just by slightly moving the viewpoint from which you look at the end, you can
The amount of light emitted from the slopes of each sawtooth that reaches the eye changes, giving the appearance of a flame. When the opening 7 is provided with a lid 8 and the lid is opened and closed, the amount of light emitted from the end changes more clearly, so that the feeling of flame generation becomes stronger.

The means for providing light to the light emitter B is not limited to providing an opening 7 in the cooking device main body A and using external light. The cooking device body is formed into a sealed box shape that opens only on the top surface, and a dry battery (not shown) and a small light bulb or light emitting diode connected to the battery are installed inside the cooking device, and the cooking device is attached to the outside surface of the cooking device. A switch may be turned on and off to apply the light generated by the light emitter to the flat surface of the light emitter. When providing light from a built-in light bulb, the light emitter may be made of colorless transparent resin, and the light bulb may be colored to match the color of the flame. Provide a dimming means between the dry battery and the light bulb,
By adjusting the amount of light emitted from the end 2, it is possible to create an appearance as if the temperature of the flame were changing.

In addition, a plurality of light bulbs with colors corresponding to the high and low heating temperatures of the cooker are provided inside the cooker body, and a dimming means with a dial switch is provided. The color of the radiation emitted from the section 2 changes, making it possible to present an appearance similar to the color change of a flame when the amount of heat is adjusted by rotating the gas supply adjustment knob.

Furthermore, when using only one color of light bulb, in order to make it blink, a timer switch with a spring spring as the rotational energy source is used, and when the dial of the timer is rotated, a pseudo flame is generated for a certain period of time proportional to the amount of rotation. It can be operated as follows. Such a light-providing means is suitable for use in a toy cooker having the external shape of a gas oven.

Effects of this invention As mentioned above, according to this invention, by using a special resin, it is possible to create an appearance that looks as if a hot flame is coming out of a gas range, etc., with a very simple structure. This allows the player to enjoy a simulated experience of cooking.
