Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Field of industrial application) The invention uses an operating rod that is loosely fitted to the rotating shaft of the toy body and has enough elastic resistance to rotate with the rotating shaft. The present invention relates to a switch structure in a toy formed to operate a switch of an electric operating means installed in a toy body.

(Prior art and its problems) Conventionally, as a switch structure in a toy, for example, a switch provided at an appropriate location of a traveling toy with a part thereof protruding is manually operated to switch on the electricity installed in the traveling toy. However, such a switch structure has disadvantages such as spoiling the appearance of the traveling toy and reducing its marketability, and being unable to be applied to small toys. A solution was desired.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and in particular, it does not require a manual switch, can be applied to small toys, and does not damage the appearance of the toy. The purpose of the present invention is to propose a switch structure for a toy that can improve the product value without causing problems.

(Means for Solving the Problems) As a means for solving the above problems, the switch structure of the toy according to the present invention is a toy equipped with an electric operating means that makes a sound or emits light. It is characterized by having the following requirements.

(b) One end of an operating rod is loosely fitted onto a rotating shaft provided on the toy, and the operating rod is connected to one side of the rotating shaft by an elastic member attached to the rotating shaft. (b) The pressing force of the elastic member provides enough resistance between the operating rod and the bearing to allow the operating rod to rotate together with the rotating shaft. (c) A switch for operating the electric operating means is provided on the movement trajectory of the other end of the operating rod that rotates together with the rotating shaft (effects and effects of the invention). According to the above, when the rotating shaft is rotated, the operating rod also rotates together with the rotating shaft due to the resistance provided by the pressing force of the elastic member. During the rotation, the end of the operating rod comes into contact with a switch provided on its movement trajectory, turning the switch on.
This activates electrical operating means that emit sound or light. Therefore, according to the present invention, there is no need to provide a special manual switch member, and the appearance is not impaired, so that the commercial value can be increased. In addition, since the structure is simple, this part does not become complicated and can be used for small toys.
It can also be manufactured cheaply.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In the figure, reference numeral A indicates a traveling toy to which the switch structure of the toy according to the present invention is applied. This running toy A has a battery storage section 2 whose appearance resembles a fortress formed approximately in the center of the upper surface of the chassis 1, and
A dry battery 3 is removably housed inside. Further, a support rod 4 is erected at the center of the front upper surface of the vehicle chassis 1, and a pilot lamp 5 is attached and supported at the tip of the support rod 4.
Reference numeral 6 indicates a switch formed near one side of the upper surface of the vehicle chassis 1 in the approximate center thereof, and the switch 6 is electrically connected to the pilot lamp 5 and the dry cell battery 3, which are electrical operating means.

Bearing portions 7 are provided on both sides of the front and rear upper surfaces of the chassis 1.
7, 7a, 7a are erected, and rotation shafts 8, 8a are rotatably attached to the bearings 7, 7, 7a, 7a. And the rotation shafts 8, 8a
Running wheels 9, 9, 9a, 9a are attached to the. 10 indicates an operating rod. One end 10a of the operating rod 10 is formed into a cylindrical shape and is loosely fitted to the rotation shaft 8a, and an elastic member 11 attached to the rotation shaft 8a is attached to the rotation shaft 8a.
, it is pressed against a bearing portion 7a provided on one side of the vertical movement shaft 8a. Then, due to the pressing force of the elastic member 11, the operating rod 10 and the bearing portion 7a
A sufficient resistance is provided between the actuating rod 10 and the rotary shaft 8a to allow the actuating rod 10 to rotate together with the rotating shaft 8a. Further, the switch 6 is provided on the movement trajectory of the other end 10b of the operating rod 10, which rotates together with the rotation shaft 8a. Reference numeral 12 indicates a stopper member provided on the rotation shaft 8a, and this stopper member 1
One end of the elastic member 11 is locked to 2.

Since the traveling toy A is constructed as described above, when using it, it is sufficient to enjoy play by driving the traveling toy. In this case, the driving source (not shown) may be a friction, a mainspring, or
A flywheel etc. can be considered. Then, the driving force may be transmitted to the rotating shafts of the traveling wheels 9, 9, . . . to cause the vehicle to travel. The traveling toy A is mounted on the chassis 1 by the rotation of an operating rod 10 which is loosely fitted onto the rotating shafts 8a of the traveling wheels 9a, 9a and is provided with elastic resistance to the extent that it can rotate together with the rotating shafts 8a. The switch 6 is operated and maintained in that state, thereby keeping the pilot lamp 5 provided on the chassis 1 in the illuminated state and turning the operating rod 1 on.
0 is idle.

As mentioned above, the switch 6 for turning on the pilot lamp 6 is automatically input by the rotation of the rotation shaft, so there is no need to provide a special manual switch. Therefore, the appearance will not be spoiled due to the manual switch being exposed to the outside. In particular, when a manual switch is provided in a small toy, the switch itself cannot be made very small not only in terms of appearance but also in terms of operation, so this is suitable for such small toys.
