[Operation] The fixed ring and the movable ring are connected, and
The fixed ring and the movable ring are connected to each other at the same position, and the operation of the movable ring is started from the position below the fixed ring.

That is, the ring positions of the movable ring groups are positioned one by one below the positions of the fixed ring groups. Since the fixed ring and the movable ring are kept connected to each other at the same position, the upper ends of the second and subsequent rings connected to the moving ring are connected to the lower ends of the moving side rings located above. , The lower end of the ring on the fixed ring side at the same position is also connected.

On the other hand, as viewed from the fixed ring group, the lower part of each ring of the fixed ring group is connected to the upper end of the ring on the next fixed ring side, and at the same moving ring side that is moving downward. It is also connected to the upper end of the ring.

In this state, the movable ring is moved upward along the fixed ring by the movable means in a direction different from the connecting direction of the fixed ring because the fixed ring and the movable ring are connected. As for the movement of the movable ring group, since the upper part of the ring on the movable ring side is connected to the ring on the movable ring side above, it is also connected to the ring on the fixed ring side,
When the movable ring group is moved in a direction different from the connecting direction of the fixed ring group, the amount of rise of the upper ring is larger due to the ring resistance of the connected fixed ring side.

Therefore, when the movable ring is moved by the movable means until the center position of the movable ring is located above the center position of the fixed ring, the next fixed ring side second ring connected to the fixed ring is moved to the movable ring side second ring. Lift on the ring.

The lifted fixed ring side second ring has less direct hooking connection between the fixed ring and the movable ring side second ring, and the fixed ring side second ring has the fixed ring and the movable ring side second ring. It becomes an unstable state in which it is hooked at two points with the ring and supports the upper end of the third fixing ring.

When the movable ring is further lifted up, the lower fixed ring side third ring connected to the fixed ring side second ring in an unstable state is moved by the movable ring side third ring. The upper end of the fixed ring side third ring is lifted so as to fall outward. At this time, the ring of the fixed ring side second ring that is in an unstable state is pressed down and abutted, the equilibrium state collapses, and the fixed ring side second ring is hooked by the upper fixed ring, It falls while rotating outward.

Next, like the second ring on the stationary ring side, the third ring on the stationary ring side also rotates and rotates outwards until it is locked by the second ring on the stationary ring side, and then falls below the maximum. It rotates to the lower fixing ring in sequence and acts so that the ring looks like it is falling from top to bottom.

Next, the case where the movable ring moves from the uppermost part to the initial state will be described. At this time, the ring positions of the movable ring group are located one by one above the position of the fixed ring group, and the positional relationship between the movable ring and the fixed ring is reversed. That is, since the connection between the fixed ring and the movable ring at the same position is maintained, the lower end of the moving ring connected to the moving ring is connected to the upper end of the lower moving ring located below, It is also connected to the upper end of the fixing ring in the same position.

On the other hand, as viewed from the fixed ring, the upper part of each ring of the second and subsequent fixed ring groups is connected to the lower end of the next fixed ring, and the upper ends of the moving rings in the same order moving upward. It is also connected with.

In this state, when the movable ring is moved downward along the fixed ring by the movable means in the direction different from the connecting direction of the fixed ring, the fixed ring and the movable ring are connected to each other. The second ring is in contact with the second ring on the fixed ring side, is supported by the movable ring and the second ring on the fixed ring side, and supports the upper end of the third ring on the movable ring side.

Next, when the movable ring is further moved downward, the third ring on the movable ring side abuts the ring of the second ring on the movable ring side so as to push it down, the equilibrium state collapses, and the second ring on the movable ring side moves. It falls while pivoting outward until it is hooked by the upper movable ring.

Then, when the movable ring is further lowered,
The movable ring-side third ring also rotates in the same manner as the movable ring-side second ring, and then rotates outward and falls until it is hooked by the movable ring-side second ring. It pivots and acts so that the ring appears to fall from top to bottom.

Further, the movable member is composed of a rotating member and a connecting member capable of twisting or bending, and the upper end of the connecting member is pivotally supported near the outer periphery of the rotating member and the upper end of the connecting member is fixed to the movable ring. Therefore, when the movable ring is pulled up in a direction different from the direction of the fixed ring group, the movable ring rises along the fixed ring, so that the movable ring and the second ring on the movable ring side rotate in a direction with less latching resistance. While acting, it can move up and down.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below in detail based on an embodiment based on the drawings. 1 is a schematic front view of the present invention, FIG. 2 and FIG.
FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing the operation of the ring.

A base 2 is provided in a box body 1 made of an appropriate material and having an opening at least in the lower part thereof. A power source 3 such as a motor is provided above the base 2 and a rotating body 4 rotated by the power source 3. Are provided, and the fixing rings 5 and 7 are supported inwardly at the lower ends of both ends of the base 2, and the fixing rings 5 and 7 include
An appropriate number of rings are connected.

A pin 9 is provided in the vicinity of the outer periphery of the rotating body 4,
For example, the upper ends of two connecting members 10 and 11 that can be twisted or bent, such as a string or a wedge, are pivotally supported. On the other hand, the movable rings 6, 6 are provided at the lower ends of the connecting members 10, 11.
8 is provided, and an appropriate number of rings are connected to the movable rings 6 and 8.

The movable rings 6 and 8 are fixed rings 5 and 5, respectively.
The ring connected to the fixed rings 5 and 7 on the inner side of the ring to which 7 is connected and the ring connected to the movable rings 6 and 8 are
The fixed ring and the movable ring are connected to the rings connected to the fixed rings 5 and 7 so that they are located at the same position.
That is, the movable ring side second ring 61 connected to the movable ring 6 is connected to the fixed ring side second ring 51 connected to the fixed ring 5.

The size of the rotating body 4 and the connecting member 1
The lengths of 0 and 11 are not particularly limited, but in the best state, when the rotating body 4 rotates and the pin 9 is located at the top, the movable rings 6 and 8 are located at the top of the fixed rings 5 and 7. At the lowest position, it is preferable that the pulling force applied to the movable rings 6 and 8 is 0, that is, the pulling force is in a slackened state.

Next, the operating state will be described. When the power source 3 is operated to rotate the rotating body 4 in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 1, the connecting members 10 and 11 are pulled upward, and the movable rings 6 and 8 are pulled upward accordingly.

The operation of the ring is shown in FIGS. 2 (a) (b) (c).
As shown in (d), the movable ring 6 is pulled up in the upper right direction while being connected to the circumferences of the fixed ring 5 and the movable ring side second ring 61. Since the fixed rings 5 and 7 and the movable rings 6 and 8 are kept connected to each other at the same position, the upper end of the movable ring side second ring 61 is connected to the lower end of the movable ring 6 located above. In addition, it is also connected to the lower end of the ring of the fixed ring side second ring at the same position.

Therefore, in this state, when the connecting member 10 is moved to such an extent that the center position of the movable ring 6 is located above the center position of the fixed ring 5 in FIG. 2 (c), the movable ring 6 is connected to the fixed ring 5. Next fixed ring side second ring 51
Is lifted to the second ring on the movable ring side. Therefore, the fixed ring side second ring 51 has less direct hooking connection between the fixed ring and the movable ring side second ring 61, and the fixed ring side second ring 51 has the fixed ring 5 and the movable ring side second ring. It becomes an unstable state such that it is hooked at two points with 61 and supports the upper end of the fixed ring side third ring 52.

When the movable ring 6 is further lifted up, the lower fixed ring side third ring 52 connected to the fixed ring side second ring 51 in an unstable state is moved to the movable ring side third ring 52. The upper end of the fixed ring side third ring 52 is lifted by the ring 62 so as to fall outward (the single-pointed arrow in FIG. 2C). At this time, the ring of the fixed ring side second ring 51, which is in an unstable state, is abutted so as to push it down, and the equilibrium state collapses,
The fixed ring side second ring 51 moves in the direction of the arrow in (d), and the fixed ring side second ring 51 moves to the upper fixed ring 5.
It falls while pivoting outward until it is hooked on.

Next, similarly to the second ring 51 on the fixed ring side, the third ring 52 on the fixed ring side also rotates and rotates outward and falls until it is hooked on the second ring 51 on the fixed ring side. , The lower fixed ring is sequentially rotated, and the ring acts as if it is falling from top to bottom.

Next, the case where the movable ring 6 moves from the uppermost part to the initial state will be described with reference to FIG. At this time, the ring positions of the movable ring groups are located one by one above the positions of the fixed ring group 5. Since the fixed ring 5 and the movable ring 6 are kept connected to each other at the same position, the lower end of the movable ring side second ring 61 connected to the movable ring is located below the lower movable ring side second ring 61. Three
In addition to being connected to the upper end of the ring 62, it is also connected to the upper end of the fixed ring side second ring 51 at the same position.

On the other hand, when viewed from the fixed ring 5, the upper part of each ring of the second ring 51 and the second ring on the fixed ring side is connected to the lower end of the third ring 52 on the fixed ring side, and moves upward. The same order as the movable ring side second
It is also connected to the upper end of the ring 61.

When the rotating body 4 is further rotated in this state, the movable ring 6 at the lower end of the connecting member 10 moves downward along the fixed ring 5. Movable ring side second ring 6
1 abuts on the fixed ring side second ring 51 and is supported at two points of the movable ring 6 and the fixed ring side second ring 51,
In addition, the upper end of the movable ring side third ring 62 is supported.

When the movable ring 6 is further moved downward in this state, the movable ring-side third ring 62 abuts against the movable ring-side second ring 61 so as to push it down, and the equilibrium state collapses. The second ring 61 on the movable ring 6 side moves in the direction of arrow d) and falls while rotating outward until it is hooked by the upper movable ring 6 and the second ring 51 on the fixed ring side.

Then, when the movable ring 6 is further lowered, the movable ring-side third ring 62 is rotated in the same manner as the movable ring-side second ring 61, and the movable ring-side second ring 6 is rotated.
It rotates outwards until it is hooked at 1, and then it turns to the fixing ring 5 at the lowermost portion in order, and the ring appears to fall from top to bottom.

In order to make it easier to give an illusion that the ring will drop downward, it is preferable that the sizes of the rings are unified and the color and the like be made in a single color. The movable means is composed of a rotating body and a connecting member, but the invention is not limited to this. For example, an appropriate means may be used to agitate the movable ring along the ring circumference of the fixed ring.
