Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a mechanism toy wherein pieces do not scatter, and which can be made compact, and for which the playing method can be changed, and the degree of difficulty can also be devised by a player one's self. CONSTITUTION:By a combination between a driving wheel 2 with a dovetail groove which rotates around a shaft 1 and a piece 4, the piece 4 is made movable in the rotating direction and axial direction. In addition, the piece 4 does not scatter and moves to the front and rear, right and left to the shaft 1, and a game can be devised such as arranging the same kind of pieces 4 in the vertical direction or lateral direction. Also, the degree of difficulty can be changed by increasing empty seats for the pieces 4 on the driving wheel 2. The combination between the driving wheel and pieces 4 can be made more difficult by adding markings on the driving wheel 2 to terms of the game. This toy can also be used as a functional training for hands, fingers and arms. Also, by applying braille or formations on the top surface of the piece 4, a tactile sense training is possible, and the toy can widely be enjoyed by weak- sighted people or blind people.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

[Industrial application] Toys, rehabilitation hand and arm training equipment, keys, displays, signboards, gear mechanism for teaching materials.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As conventional toys for recombining pieces, there is no one utilizing the mechanism of the invention, and the reassembling work is simple. In other words, the work was carried out either by moving on a plane or by separating the main body and the piece apart.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by patent] Solve the problem that pieces cannot be used due to scattering.

The degree of freedom of holding is obtained.

The user can select each difficulty level.

The way the game is played can be changed by selecting a piece.

Change the shape of the toy when completed by changing the surface shape of the piece. For example, egg shape, gourd shape, and so on.

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems] A dovetail groove (3) on the drive wheel (2) and an dovetail (5) on the piece around the shaft.
To turn on.

Forming the toy into a hexagonal prism using the mechanism of claim 1.

In order for the piece to move, the drive wheel (2) to which the piece is about to move must be vacant. Normally, it should be at least one place for normal use, but make the vacant seats two or three places.

Apply the surface shape, color, color scheme, and Braille for blind people.

[0012]

The drive wheel (2) and the bridge (4) are axially moved by the dovetail groove (3) and the dovetail (5), respectively.
Moreover, the drive wheel (2) rotates about the shaft (1).

Then, the pieces are prevented from being dispersed.

[0014]

Embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings.
In FIG. 2, a piece above the empty seat with a heart-shaped mark in the center of the toy is moved downward. Then, the heart-shaped seats are filled up and the upper part becomes empty. Therefore, in order to move the piece to the right of the heart-shaped mark up, the drive wheel (2) must be rotated 60 degrees to the left and an empty seat must be made on the piece to be moved. The piece to the right of the drive wheel (2) with the heart-shaped mark will move upward.

By repeating this basic operation, the color matching of the pieces is aligned in the vertical direction or rearranged in the horizontal direction. Or make a checkerboard pattern.

Marks such as diamonds and hearts are engraved on the drive wheel (2) in the central portion, but numbers are engraved on the drive wheels (2) in the upper and lower rows. So, for example, as a result of changing the color of the pieces in the vertical direction, depending on what mark came under it and what number came to the upper and lower drive wheels (2), the score was Add or subtract. This is one of the ways to play, but the players will decide each other and play. By making this condition more complicated, the difficulty level will change and the chance will appear. It can also be used as a fortune teller.

Braille on the piece (4) is also used as training for toys for blind people and hands for blind people.

[0018]

[Effect of the Invention] The above mechanism can prevent the pieces from scattering.
It was possible to make it compact.

It has become possible to carry it on a trip, etc., regardless of the place of use.

It has become possible for one person to many people to choose how to play.

In order to move and rearrange the pieces, chance elements and intellectual elements are involved. And in order to make a specific piece vertical, to arrange it horizontally, or to make a checkerboard pattern, it is necessary to have the ability to grasp the three-dimensional space, and it is up to the user to devise ways of playing. As a result that the selection of the difficulty level is left to the user, the mechanical toy has elements of promoting an analog motor function and an idea originally possessed by this human toy.

Claims (1)

[Claims] 1. A piece (4) assembled to the rotating drive wheel by forming a dovetail groove (3) on the drive wheel (2) around the shaft (1) and stacking a plurality of the dovetail grooves (3). Can be moved in the rotational direction and the axial direction. And by that, by moving the piece on the drive wheel to the empty position on the other drive wheel or by exchanging each piece with each other, even when viewed from the axial direction or from the rotation direction It is a toy with a mechanism that allows you to freely combine pieces even when you see it.
