Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial Application Field> This invention does not directly insert a money box, especially a coin, into the entrance of the money box, but moves it separately by using a decorative moving body and moving it by its own weight. The present invention relates to a turning mechanism of a piggy bank that is thrown in.

<Prior Art> Generally used piggy banks have various decorated forms such as buildings, animals, and dolls, but all of them have a structure in which coins are directly inserted into the piggy bank. ing.

In order to effectively use this piggy bank to the end, the effect will not be improved even for the self who saves money or other people who will save money, unless he / she is interested in the piggy bank itself. There were many things that I no longer use.

In addition, as a solution to the above-mentioned drawbacks,
There is a piggy bank with a rotating mechanism with a coin placing part that is placed to insert coins into the piggy bank body like No.

<Problems to be Solved by the Invention> However, the above-mentioned piggy bank uses a rotating means for inserting coins from the inlet of the piggy bank by inclining the coin placing part to one side. The rotating mechanism must rotate the coin transporter according to the principle of the balance to insert coins and restore it to its original position by the elastic body such as a rubber cord. Therefore, when rotating and restoring coins I was charged with a mechanism different from rotation.

This invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, and its purpose is to rotate a rotating mechanism at the time of coin insertion and restore it to its original position without providing new parts. , To provide a piggy bank that can be carried out only by a simple mechanism.

<Means for Solving the Problems> The present invention was made based on the above-mentioned object, and its gist is to provide an inlet for inserting coins and a storage for storing inserted coins. With the piggy bank body,
A savings box in which a decorative moving body with a coin placing portion having a rotation mechanism having an upper portion inclined to the inlet portion side is combined, wherein the rotation mechanism has the rotation axis with respect to the rotation axis. A rotating body is rotatably supported above the decorative moving body, and the rotating shaft below the decorative moving body is rotatably supported at a position farther from the decorative moving body with respect to the inlet side. , The coin placing portion is on the opposite side of the entrance portion except on the vertical plane of the rotating shaft, and the decoration that was in the vertical plane of the rotating shaft by placing a coin on the coin placing portion By temporarily moving the position of the center of gravity of the moving body out of the vertical plane, the rotating mechanism inserts the coin into the entrance portion, and after the insertion, the center of gravity of the decorative moving body returns to the original position. It's in the piggy bank I've made to come.

<Operation> As shown in FIG. 7, the rotating mechanism for inserting coins from the coin placing portion to the entrance of the savings box main body is initially arranged vertically below the rotation axis P where the center of gravity G of the decorative moving body B is inclined. Although it is on the plane and in equilibrium, the position of the center of gravity moves when the coin is placed on the coin placing portion, and a rotation moment that moves this new center of gravity into the vertical plane below the rotation axis P is generated. By rotating the coin, the coin is inserted from the coin placing part to the entrance part, and further the coin is inserted to the original position of the center of gravity G so that the center of gravity G ″ lifted above the rotation axis is in an equilibrium state. The decorative moving body is rotated again by returning.

<Embodiment> A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described below. FIGS. 1 to 7 show a piggy bank of the present invention before placing coins, wherein FIG. 1 is a plan view, FIG. 2 is a rear view, FIG. 3 is a front view, and FIG. 4 is a right side surface. 5 and 5 are bottom views, FIG. 6 is a left side view, and FIG. 7 is a sectional view taken along the line AA 'in FIG. Further, FIGS. 8 to 14 show the movement of the piggy bank after the coins are placed therein. FIG. 8 is a perspective view when the coins are placed on the coin placing portion, and FIG. 10 is a decoration. FIG. 13 is a perspective view showing a state where the moving body is rotated to insert a coin into the coin insertion slit from the coin placing table,
Fig. 10 is a plan view of Fig. 10, Fig. 14 is a front view of Fig. 10, and Fig. 9 is a perspective view of the decorative moving body between Figs. 8 and 10 during rotation. FIG. 12 is a plan view and FIG. 12 is a front view of FIG.

In the figure, A is a piggy bank main body provided with a house-shaped coin storage portion 2 provided with a coin inlet portion 1, and B is a human shape in which a coin placing portion 3 is provided at a place where both hands are extended forward. Of the decorative moving body, which are assembled on the substrate C so as to face each other. The decorative moving body B is in the form of a doll,
The coin placing part 3 is provided at a position corresponding to the doll's arm,
An L-shaped bearing whose upper part is axially supported by a bearing 5 provided on the roof of the storage part 2 and whose one end is axially supported on the substrate C so that the lower part of the central axis of the doll is offset from the rotation axis P. The rotation axis P between the upper and lower bearings is tilted so that the upper side is on the inlet portion 1 side of the piggy bank body A. In this way, the center of gravity G of the decorative moving body B exists at an arbitrary position on the lower vertical plane of the rotation axis P.

Reference numeral 7 is an outlet for the coins stored in the storage unit 2, and 6 is the movement of the center of gravity of the decorative moving body B due to the weight of the coins, as shown in FIG. 6 or 7. When it rotates, it is a stopper that rotates clockwise as in FIG. 8 → FIG. 9 → FIG. 10, but does not rotate in the opposite direction. If this stopper 6 is not provided, unless the coin placing portion is inclined in the rotation direction as described later or the upper side of the rotation axis is inclined to the left of the front view, which is an extremely rotation direction,
There is also a possibility of rotation in the counterclockwise direction. Stopper 6
If it does not have a slot, the inlet part 1 for coin insertion may be subjected to processing such as extending the slit length further to the right than the position shown in FIG.

The coin placing part 3 is inclined with the right hand side downward from the left hand side of the doll, or by providing a rotating means for displacing the coin placing part 3 in the rotating direction, a force is applied in the rotating direction to decorate. The rotary moving body B rotates in the clockwise direction, and it becomes possible to insert a coin from the coin placing section 3 into the coin inlet section 1.

In order to move the piggy bank of the present invention having the above structure, first, as shown in FIG. 8, the coin 8 is placed on the coin placing portion 3 (FIG. 8). As a result, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 3, the moment that has been in the G direction up to now is expressed as a combined moment G ′ between the G direction which is the vertical direction and the direction opposite to the coin placing portion 3. Of the rotating shaft P toward the inlet portion 1 above the rotating shaft, or the coin placing portion 3 is inclined or deviated toward the inlet portion 1 so that the rotating force acts on the rotating shaft P. Further rotating from FIGS. 9, 11 and 12 to FIG. 10, FIG. 13 and FIG. 14, the coins of the coin placing portion 3 are inserted from the inlet portion 1 into the storage portion 2 of the piggy bank main body A.
It is thrown in. After the coin is inserted, the synthetic moment G ′ is released, and the L-shaped bearing 4 rotates the position G ″ of the decorative moving body B, which has risen in a semi-helical circular shape by the rotation axis P, to the position of the original center of gravity G. Then, by returning, the decorative moving body with the coin placing portion 3 is restored to the position shown in FIG.

<Effect of Device> As described above, according to the present invention, the rotating mechanism having the rotating shaft whose upper part is inclined toward the inlet side is rotatably supported above the decorative moving body with respect to the rotating shaft. In addition, since the lower part of the rotating shaft is provided so as to be eccentrically supported at a position farther from the decoration moving body with respect to the entrance side, the self-weight of coins can be achieved without using any elastic force of springs or the like. Also, by moving the center of gravity using the displacement of the decorative moving body, the coin placing portion can be rotated to store coins in the piggy bank and the decorative moving body after storing the coins can be restored to the original position. Therefore, the structure is simple and there is no failure.
