By the way, the gyro 5 is composed of a rotary plate 7 made of metal such as iron or brass fixed to a rotary shaft 6, and a plurality of removable weight members 19 are mounted on the rotary plate 7. ing. The weight member 19 is a ring-shaped circular plate made of metal such as iron or brass and having an opening in the center. On one surface, engaging portions made of engaging protrusions 20 are formed at diametrically opposite positions. Engagement holes 21 and 21 are formed at positions orthogonal to the two engagement protrusions 20 and 20. On the upper surface of the rotary plate 7 of the gyro 5, the engaging projection 2 of the weight member 19 is provided.
An engaging portion including an engaging concave portion 22 is formed at a position corresponding to 0, and a plurality of locking grooves 24 for locking the fixing pins 23 are formed on the upper portion of the rotary shaft 6 at intervals equal to the thickness of the weight member 19. It is set around.

The fixing pin 23 may be replaced by a nut 25 having a knob 25a as shown in FIG. In this case, a male screw 26 may be formed on the rotating shaft 6 instead of the engaging groove 24.

Further, the engagement recess 22 formed in the rotary plate 7
The number of the engaging projections 20 and the engaging holes 21 formed in the weight member 19 are not limited to two, and three or more may be formed as long as the center of gravity of the rotating plate and the weight member are not biased. Absent.

Inverted L-shaped hooks 30, 30 are formed on the front and rear portions of the toy body 1, and when the toy body 1 is covered with the lid member 2 and then rotated, the hooks 30 and 30 are formed on the front and rear portions. Locking projections 31 and 31 formed so as to project forward and backward are formed so as to engage with the hooks 30 and 30, respectively. A removable cover member 32 is attached to the lid member 2 by superposition. The cover member 32 is formed in a disk shape, and locking pieces 33 whose front ends are bent downward at right angles are formed on the front and rear sides, respectively, and bent portions 33a of the locking pieces 33 are formed on the lid member 2 and the toy body 1. The lid member 2 is fixed to the toy body 1 so as not to be separated from the toy body 1 by being held between the locking portions 34 and 35 formed on the toy body 1, respectively.

According to the top toy having the above structure, as shown in FIG. 4, the lid member 2 is removed, and the engaging projection 20 of the weight member 19 is engaged with the engaging recess of the rotary plate 7. The first weight member 19 is placed on the rotary plate 7 so as to be fitted to the joint part 22. The number of the weight members 19 may be determined by the rotation sustaining force. The second weight member 19 ′ may be placed so that the engagement protrusion 20 fits into the engagement hole 21 of the first weight member 19. After stacking the necessary number of weight members 19 on the rotary plate 7, a holding plate 36 made of synthetic resin such as plastic is placed, and then the pin 23 is fitted into the locking groove 24,
The weight member 19 is fixed so as not to float from the rotary plate 7.

After the weight member 19 is fixed, the toy body 1 is covered with the lid member 2, and the cover member 32 fixes the lid member 2 to the toy body 1.

As shown in FIG. 5, the top toy to which a predetermined number of weight members 19 are attached has the side surface of the roller 16 pressed against a flat surface such as a table and slid sideways as it is, so that the roller 16 To rotate. The rotating shaft 6 of the gyro 5 is rotatably supported by a bearing 9 and a bearing 11, and the upper end of the gyro 5 is in contact with a spherical body 10 provided in the bearing 9. Therefore, the gyro 5 and the roller 16 are the main body of the toy. No direct contact with 1 and its rotational force is not significantly reduced by the contact.

Since the weight member 19 is attached to the gyro 5 as described above, the weight member 19 is attached.

With the top toy formed by attaching the arm member 37 to the attachment shaft 36 in a robot shape, when the player plays a battle game like Begoma play, it is prevented from being blown by the opponent.

Further, since the weight member is formed in a ring shape and weight is evenly applied in the vicinity of the circumference of the rotating plate of the gyro, the centrifugal force of the rotating plate is increased, the balance of the rotation of the gyro is improved, and the rotation sustaining force is increased. Can be long,
You can fully enjoy the frame play. Also, since the weight of the gyro cannot be visually confirmed from the outside of the toy body,
At the time of a battle game, there is no realization until the opponent actually activates the ability of his or her toy, and the battle game can be advantageously developed.

[0021]

According to the top toy of the present invention, since the weight member can be attached to the rotary plate of the gyro, the weight of the gyro becomes heavy and the weight member is not added even if the same rotational force is applied. Compared to, the rotation time can be extended and the weight of the top toy increases, so in a battle game where multiple top toys are rotated and hit against each other, it is difficult for the opponent to flip them off, and the game is advantageously developed. can do.

Since the rotary plate of the gyro and the weight member mounted on the rotary plate are engaged with each other to form an engaging portion for rotating integrally, the weight member is prevented from being displaced during the rotation of the gyro. Stable rotation can be maintained.

Since the weight member has a ring shape,
The weight of the weight member is evenly weighted around the circumference of the rotary plate of the gyro, the centrifugal force of the rotary plate is increased, the rotation of the gyro is stabilized, and the duration of rotation can be lengthened. .
