Abstract

PURPOSE: To provide a flying toy which is a flat plate when held by hand, but becomes a solid consisting of truncated pyramids when flying by bringing the rims of the bottom plates of two truncated pyramids into contact with each other to make a calyx and connecting both ends of an elastic string at symmetrical positions in the diameter inside the calyx. CONSTITUTION: The calyx pieces of upper/lower pyramid members 9, 19 are adhered to each other, and the calyx pieces of engaging pieces are adhered. And both end of a rubber string 24 are engaged with engaging grooves 8, 18. When enterual force pressing the top plates 1 of the flying toy is released (when a player removes the player's fingers), the engaging pieces are pulled by the teusile force of the rubber string 24, and side panels are moved in the vertical direction by means of folds, so that a truncated pyramid complex 29 is assembled. When external force in the direction 27 and 28 is applied to the top plates 1, the toy becomes flat. And when the external force is removed, the toy becomes a solid. Therefore, a player can throw the toy as a flat plate by giving external force to the toy, holding it by hand. And the toy can be made to be slid automatically in the air by the tersile force of the rubber string 24.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a flying toy which has a flat plate shape when it is held in a hand and automatically becomes a truncated pyramid three-dimensional shape when flying.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various types of flying toys, such as boomerangs, which are mainly thrown by human power are known (Shokaihei 5-74569), but both have shapes when held in hand and in flight. Those that are the same but change along the way have not been proposed yet.

[0003]

All of the conventionally known flying toys have the same shape immediately before the flight and during flight. In other words, the shape is fixed according to the shape in flight.

[0004] For example, if it is matched with the shape of various youho, it is not possible to maintain a predetermined flight shape unless the shape is held in the hand, so the shape at the time of flight, the force input,
It must be designed and manufactured in consideration of the appearance from below in the air and the stability of flight, or the time of flight and other flight altitudes.

In particular, since the shape of a conventional toy from the time it is held in the hand to the time it is released coincides with the shape during flight,
If you try to show the outer shape when flying, there is a problem that the shape when held in your hand is relatively large and it is difficult to apply force when throwing. Therefore, in order to increase the flight time, there is a possibility that a contradiction that requires conflicting structural requirements may occur.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION However, the present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems because the outer shape when held in the hand and the outer shape when flying are automatically changed.

That is, according to the present invention, the edges of a plate body which can be two truncated pyramids are abutted and adhered to each other to form a collar, and both ends of the elastic strip are continuously provided between diametrically symmetrical positions inside the collar, and It is a flying toy characterized by a flat plate shape due to the expansion and contraction of a strip, or a truncated pyramid composite shape. There is no particular restriction on the number of pyramids in the present invention, but preferably hexagonal pyramids to sixteen hexagonal pyramids are appropriately selected according to the size or the purpose of use.

Further, the elastic strip used according to the present invention is lightweight and strong, and is a dust cord capable of imparting a predetermined tensile force,
A spring or the like can be used.

Next, the main body can be forcibly rotated by providing a projection on the outer wall (for example, a collar portion) of the present invention to give a predetermined angle. It is also possible to give a flight sound by providing a predetermined small hole or fixing a small tube.

Alternatively, if the blades are projected in accordance with the change in shape (or blade elements are added to the collar portion, the dry time can be dramatically increased.

There are no particular restrictions on the material of the toy of the present invention, but it is lightweight and tough, has shape-retaining properties, and does not break or break in the event of a crash, such as processed paper, synthetic resin, and paper. A synthetic resin laminating material and other materials having characteristics such as ease of printing and ease of molding are preferable.

[0012]

The flying toy of the present invention automatically becomes three-dimensional when it is released, so it can be designed in consideration of its appearance during flight.
Further, it can be configured so that it becomes a plate shape when stored and becomes a large toy with a small volume when flying. Further, since the shape and size can be various, it is possible to expand the range of the age group desired to play.
