Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] <Industrial application field> This invention relates to magnetic toys.

<Prior art and problems to be solved> Conventionally, there are many toys that use magnets, but as in the present invention, toys with appropriate decorations are made by taking advantage of the magnet's inherent attraction effect. To the best of the present inventor's knowledge, there is no known structure that is intended to be interesting and unexpected, even though it has a relatively simple structure in which a moving body moves circularly under a background.

Therefore, this idea was devised in consideration of the above points, and is a comparatively simple method in which a moving object is moved cyclically under an appropriately decorated background by using the magnet's inherent attraction effect. The purpose is to provide a magnetic toy that has a simple structure, is both interesting and surprising, and can be thoroughly enjoyed.

<Means for Solving the Problems> In order to achieve the above object, the configuration of this invention will be explained below. The magnetic toy according to this invention includes a moving body having a magnetic material inside the body and a rotatable moving roller, and a base that serves as a bottom plate, which is made of at least a non-magnetic material, and has an arbitrary figure, pattern, etc. on the surface. A standing plate that is painted, etc., and at least one end of the standing plate that is arranged on the back side of the standing plate and connected to an appropriate rotation drive means so as to draw a circular rotation locus along the back side for attracting and moving a movable object. a rotating body having a magnet on the surface thereof; a moving body receiving portion disposed on the surface side and serving as the end point of the suction movement disposed in the middle of the rotation locus; and a movable body receiving portion that guides the movable body out of the rotation locus and guides the movable body to the start point of the suction movement. and a running track body having an inclined portion.

<Operation> According to the above-mentioned means, the movable body moves the surface of the upright plate according to the rotational trajectory by the magnet of the rotating body which draws a circular rotational trajectory for adsorption and movement along the back surface of the upright plate. It moves by adsorption.

This attraction movement is due to the attraction effect of the magnetic force between the magnet of the rotating body arranged through the standing plate and the magnetic material inside the moving body, and at the end of the attraction movement, the moving body The movable body rides on the stop portion, the suction action is released, and the movable body is guided by the running track body to the starting point of suction movement by the rotation of the rollers.

This suction movement and return movement of the movable body is repeated and circulated under the background drawn on the standing plate, and the structure is relatively simple, so it is easy to imagine the mechanism of suction movement. It is possible, interesting, unexpected, and thoroughly enjoyable.

<Example> The details of this invention will be explained below based on the drawings. Incidentally, the same reference numerals are used for parts common to the conventional one, and redundant explanation will be omitted.

1 to 5 are diagrams showing a first embodiment of this invention.

This magnetic toy 1 includes a small bird 5 as a moving object,
A main body 3 forming an overall shape, a rotating body 5 having a magnet 4 and drawing an annular rotation locus for attracting and moving the small bird 2, a rotation driving means 6 for rotating the rotating body 5, and a rotating body 5 that attracts the small bird 2. It is mainly composed of a track body 9 for return movement from the end point 7 to the start point 8 of movement.

The small bird 2 has a magnet 10 as a magnetic material inside its body.
A pair of rotatable and movable rollers 11 are provided at the front and rear.

The main body 3 includes a base 12 as a bottom plate, and an upright plate made of at least a non-magnetic material that stands on the base 12 and has chicks 14 and nests 15 of the chicks 14 fixed to the surface 13 side and has a tree drawn on it. 16, and an upright plate 1 that covers the rotation drive means 6 and the rotating body 5.
6, and a front hidden board 19 (hereinafter referred to as hidden board) on which trees and animals are drawn, similar to the upright plate 16, and which covers the lower part of the upright plate 16.

The rotating body 5 is a member disposed on the rear surface 17 side of the upright plate 16, and includes a disc part 21 having a shaft 20 in the center, and a pair extending in the diametrical direction of this disc part 21. and an arm 22 on which a magnet 4 is provided.

The rotational drive means 6 is connected to the back surface 1 of the upright plate 16.
A motor 23 that generates rotational driving force, a battery 24, and a battery box 25, which are arranged on the 7 side.
It further includes a gear mechanism 26 that decelerates the rotation of this motor 23 and rotates the rotating body 5.

The track body 9 is provided on the surface 13 side of the standing plate 16 for the return movement of the small bird 2 from the end point 7 [moving body receiving portion 27] of suction movement to the start point 8, and in the example shown, the end point 7 to folded part 28
The first inclined part 29 is formed up to the fulcrum 8, and the second inclined part 30 is connected to the first inclined part 27 and extends from the folded part 28 to the fulcrum 8.

Although the rotating body 5 in this embodiment has two arms 22, it is not limited to this, and a large number of arms 22 may be formed and a large number of magnets 4 may be provided. Furthermore, the running track body 9 is not limited to the illustrated example, but can be freely set as long as it can achieve the desired function.Furthermore, the roller 11 of the small bird 2 is not only rotated by inertia. It is also possible to employ power.

Also, instead of the magnet 10 inside the bird 2, a magnetic material such as iron may be used.

Next, the operation of the magnetic toy 1 will be explained.

First, a switch (not shown) connects the battery 24 and the motor 23, and when the motor 23 is rotated, the rotating body 5 is rotated via the gear mechanism 26. As a result, the magnet 4 of the rotating body 5 draws a circular rotation trajectory 31 (hereinafter referred to as trajectory) for attracting and moving the small bird 2 along the back surface 17 side of the upright plate 16.

The small bird 2 at the starting point 8 of suction movement is on the hidden board 19
When one magnet 4 of the rotating body 5 reaches the starting point 8, this magnet 4 and the magnet 10 of the bird 2 are attracted to each other via the standing plate 16, and the bird 2 takes flight. In this state, the magnet 4 starts to attract and move, and then moves on the surface 13 of the upright plate 16 following the trajectory 31 drawn by the magnet 4.

An upper edge 32 (movement regulating body) of the nest 15 is formed near the apex of this locus 31, and when the bird 2 comes into contact with the upper edge 32, the bird 2 moves downward with suction movement. However, since the roller 11 also functions as a weight, the roller 11 causes the small bird 2 to return to its initial position. Then, before it can return completely, it comes into contact with the next upper edge 32 and repeats the same operation.

As a result, the small bird 2 moves along the upper edge 32 of the nest 15 and moves its beak 33.
Moreover, since the upper edge portion 32 is formed in a substantially wave-like shape, the small bird 2 repeats this motion several times, and the overall appearance appears as if the bird 2 is feeding the chicks 14.

Eventually, the small bird 2, which has passed the nest 14 and returned its posture to its initial state, descends according to the above-mentioned trajectory 31, and moves to the moving body receiving part 27 arranged in the middle of the trajectory 31 [i.e., the end point 7 of the suction movement]. At this point, the attraction effect by the magnet 4 is released.

Thereafter, the small bird 2 is moved from the first slope part 29 to the second slope part 30 by the rotation of the roller 11 to the track body 9.
After descending and being guided out of the trajectory 31, the robot moves back to the starting point 8 of the suction movement.

In this way, the roller 11 of the small bird 2 also serves as a weight, so even if the posture of the small bird 2 changes during the suction movement, it can be returned to the correct posture, and the bird 2 can be regulated during the suction movement as in the above-mentioned feeding operation. a movement regulating body that can perform movements such as feeding the small bird 2 in the middle of the rotation locus 31;
For example, if the upper edge portion 32 is formed, a small bird can act as if feeding the chicks 14 at that portion.

If this action is performed by two small birds 2,
It has a relatively simple structure in which a pair of parent birds alternately feed the chicks 14, creating a heartwarming scene, and the small birds 2 are moved in a circular manner using the attraction effect of a magnet. Therefore, it is possible to imagine the mechanism of movement, and it is both interesting and unexpected, making it thoroughly enjoyable.

FIGS. 6 and 7 are diagrams showing a second embodiment of this invention.

The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the chicks 14 are swung according to the movement of the small bird 2, so that the chicks 14 behave as if they were searching for food.

That is, the two chicks 14 are integrally formed below the fulcrum 35 into a chick main body 36 that is rotatable about the fulcrum 35, while the nest 15 of the upright plate 16
An opening 37 is formed in the corresponding part, and the pin 38 formed in the chick body 36 fits into the opening 37.
It is formed toward the rotating body 5. Incidentally, the chick body 36 also functions as a weight.

A pin 3 is placed on the disk portion 21 of the rotating body 5.
A plurality of convex portions 39 that can come into contact with the convex portions 8 are provided radially.

Next, the operation of the magnetic toy 40 will be explained.

When the rotating body 5 is rotated as in the first embodiment, the convex portion 39 also rotates accordingly.

When the pin 38 comes into contact with the protrusion 39, it moves together with the protrusion 39 in the rotational direction [direction of arrow A]. At this time, the chick 14 is rotated in the opposite direction of the arrow A through the fulcrum 35, and when the contact with the convex portion 39 is eventually released, the chick 14 is moved to the stationary position due to the action of the chick main body 36 as a weight. In an attempt to return to the state shown in Figure 6C], oscillation occurs. Since the contact and release of the pin 38 and the convex portion 39 are repeated continuously, the rocking of the chick 14 also occurs continuously, and together with the movement of the small bird 2, the small bird 2 feeds the chick 14 in turn. This allows for even more detailed expression of the motions that give rise to the effects of death, and also allows for the appearance of heartwarming scenes.

In addition, the structure and operation other than that of the chick 14 are the same as the first one.
Since it is substantially the same as the embodiment, repeated explanation will be omitted.

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a third embodiment of this invention.

The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the moving object is a fish 45 instead of the small bird 2, and the chicks 14 of the standing plate 16 and the nest 15 are replaced by a semicircular shape for the fish 45 to pass through. A ring 46 imitating coral,
A posture regulating body 47 imitating seaweed is attached to regulate the posture of the fish 45 so that it can pass through the ring 46, and the surfaces 48 of the upright plate 16 and the front hidden plate 19 are adjusted to match the underwater scene. It is designed to depict fish, seaweed, coral, air bubbles, etc.

The magnetic toy 49 shown in this embodiment has a structure and function except that the small bird 2 does not perform a regulated movement during adsorption movement such as feeding the chick 14, and no movement such as the rocking of the chick 14. Since it is substantially the same as the first embodiment, repeated explanation will be omitted.

In addition, examples of moving objects in each embodiment include a small bird,
Although the explanation is about fish, it is not limited to this, and can be applied to all kinds of things, such as dolphins and lions.

<Effects> Since the magnetic toy according to this invention has the physical size as described above, (a) the movable body moves cyclically under the background drawn on the standing plate; Since the structure is relatively simple, it is possible to imagine the mechanism of movement, making it both interesting and unexpected.
(b) Since the moving object is equipped with a roller that also serves as a weight, even if the posture of the moving object changes during suction movement, it can be returned to the correct posture immediately. (c) By appropriately changing the type of moving body, what is provided on the standing plate, the display, etc., a wide range of possibilities are possible. There is an effect that there is.

Further, according to each embodiment, (d) if an upper edge part (movement regulating body) of the nest is formed in the middle of the rotation trajectory to allow small birds to perform movements such as feeding, small birds can (E) By forming a large number of rotating body arms and installing a large number of magnets, it is possible to move more movable bodies continuously. (f) If the chicks are made to oscillate in accordance with the rotation of the rotating body, the chicks can be made to move as if they are looking for food. The movement of feeding the
It also has the additional effect of being able to express fine detail and make a heartwarming scene appear.
