Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To attain a safe and real feeling with a simple structure without limiting a working environment by providing a spray to jet water forward in a mist shape from a mouth part opened by interlocking with opening-closing of the mouth part and an actuating mechanism to actuate the spray, in the mouth part of a proper object. SOLUTION: In the case where a toy main body is, for example, a shape of a dinosaur, when an upper surface of a head part 2 of the dinosaur is operated so as to be pulled backward, an upper jaw part 4 rotates upward with a shaft 8 as the center, and a mouth part is opened. At this time, a pressing member 13 arranged in the mouth part rotates backward with a shaft 22 as the center by interlocking with the upper jaw 4. Then, since an engaging projection part 24 of a nozzle 10 engages with the pressing member 13, the nozzle 10 is pushed backward against a spring, and a piston pipe is also pushed backward together with the nozzle 10. At this time, since water pressure in the piston pipe increases, a valve of a cylinder is closed, and water in the cylinder is jetted forward from the mouth part as mist from the nozzle 10 through the piston pipe.

[0007]

FIG. 1 shows a spray toy according to the present invention. This spray toy is formed such that a toy body 1 as an appropriate object changes from a dinosaur shape to a robot shape. In the head 2 in the form of a dinosaur, a mouth 3 comprising an upper jaw 4 and a lower jaw 5 is formed, and the head 2 is connected to the head 2 via a neck 6 connected to the lower jaw 5. It is connected to the body 7. The upper jaw 4 is supported at its rear end by a lower jaw 5 so as to be rotatable up and down on a shaft 8 so that the mouth 3 can be freely opened and closed.

In the inside of the mouth portion 3, FIG.
As shown in (a), a nozzle 10 formed to imitate the tongue of a dinosaur and having a small blowout hole formed at the tip thereof;
A spray A consisting of a pump 11 connected to a pump 0 and a tank 12 storing water, and an operating mechanism B for operating the spray A are arranged.

As shown in FIG. 3 (a), the pump 11 is urged so that the piston pipe 15 always projects forward by a spring 16, and when the piston pipe 15 is pressed against the spring 16, The water pressure in the cylinder 17 rises, the valve 17a of the cylinder 17 closes, the valve 15a of the piston pipe 15 opens, and the water with the increased pressure in the cylinder 17 flows through the nozzle 1 attached to the front end of the piston pipe 15.
It is blown out as fog from the blowout hole of 0. When the pressing of the piston pipe 15 is released, as shown in FIG.
The piston pipe 15 is urged by a spring 16 and protrudes forward. At this time, since the pressure in the cylinder 17 decreases, the valve 15a of the piston pipe 15 closes, and the valve 17a of the cylinder 17 opens, so that the water in the tank 12 flows into the cylinder 17 through the valve 17a of the cylinder 17. And a known pump mechanism.

As shown in FIG. 2A, the operating mechanism B has a rectangular through hole 14 formed in the center, and a lower end pivotally supported by the lower jaw 5 with a shaft 22 at the lower end. The pressing shaft 13 is formed of a pressing member 13 in a shape of a circle and engagement grooves 21 formed obliquely upward on both inner side surfaces of the upper jaw 4. It is engaged with the mating groove 21. When the upper jaw 4 rotates up and down, the pressing member 13 guides the engaging shaft 20 into the engaging groove 21, and
As shown in FIG. 2 (b), it is provided so as to rotate back and forth about the shaft 22.

The above-mentioned spray A is formed in the mouth 3 so as to be entirely curved so that it can be removably loaded from below the lower jaw 5, and a locking projection formed at the rear of the tank 12 at the time of loading. 12 a is formed so as to be engaged with the locking recess 23 formed in the head 2 and fixed in the head 2. When the spray A is loaded into the mouth 3, the tip of the nozzle 10 projects forward through the through hole 14 of the pressing member 13, and the engagement protrusions formed on both side surfaces of the nozzle 10 are formed. 24 are edges 14 on both sides of the through hole 14
a, and when the upper jaw 4 rotates upward, the pressing member 13
Is rotated rearward, the engaging projection 24 is pushed by the edge 14a, and the nozzle 10 is moved rearward.

An operation mode of the spray toy configured as described above will be described.

When the toy body 1 is in the form of a dinosaur, FIG.
As shown in (a), the upper surface of the head 2 of the dinosaur is pulled backward. The mouth 2 is formed on the head 2 so that the upper jaw 4 is rotatably supported on the lower jaw 5 by a shaft 8. The part 3 is open.
When the mouth 3 is opened, the pressing member 1 disposed in the mouth 3
Numeral 3 rotates rearward about the shaft 22 in conjunction with the upper jaw 4. Since the engaging projection 24 of the nozzle 10 is engaged with the pressing member 13, the nozzle 10 is pushed rearward against the spring 16, and the piston pipe 1 is moved together with the nozzle 10.
5 is also pushed backward. At this time, since the water pressure in the piston pipe 15 rises, the valve 17a of the cylinder 17 closes, and the water in the cylinder 17 flows through the piston pipe 15 through the nozzle 1
The mist is sprayed forward from the mouth 3 which is opened as fog from 0.

When the pulling operation of the head 2 is released, the piston pipe 15 is urged by the spring 16 and pushed back forward. When the piston pipe 15 is pushed back forward, the pressure inside the cylinder 17 decreases, so that the valve 17 a opens and the water in the tank 12 flows into the cylinder 17. At the same time, the engaging projection 24 formed on the nozzle 10 is
Since the pressing member 13 is pushed back forward, the pressing member 13 returns and rotates forward about the shaft 22. When the pressing member 13 returns and rotates, the engaging shaft 20 of the pressing member 13 moves forward by being guided by the engaging groove 21 formed in the upper jaw portion 4.
1 is pushed down, the upper jaw 4 is lowered and the mouth 3 is closed. At this time, since the cylinder 17 is full of water, when the head 2 is pulled and operated as described above, the mouth 3
And water can be spouted from the opened mouth 3.

In the form of a robot, the head 2 in the form of a dinosaur forms a weapon, and as shown in FIG. 4B, water can be sprayed from the tip of the weapon as fog.

As described above, when the mouth of the monster is opened, the operating mechanism activates the spray and spouts water as fog from the mouth, so that the monster looks as if it is blowing gas, giving a realistic feeling. It is possible to realize a reliable spray toy. Since the spray does not require an operating lever protruding outside the toy body, it is possible to form a toy having a realistic shape without a sense of incongruity.

The mouth is provided with a switch for sensing that the upper jaw has been actuated, a nozzle for jetting water, a tank for storing water inside the body, and an electric pump for pumping water in the tank. When the mouth is opened, the switch is activated and the electric pump is activated, so that the water in the tank is pumped up and ejected from the nozzle.

In the present invention, the toy body having the form of a monster has been described. However, the toy body may be formed by imitating a beast or a bird, or may be formed by an automobile or an airplane.

[0019]

When the mouth of the monster is opened, the operating mechanism activates the spray in conjunction with the movement of the mouth, sprays water into a mist and spouts forward from the mouth. This gives the impression of blowing air, and provides a real feeling and a safe spray toy. And with a simple structure, the usage environment is not limited and you can play in the bathroom etc., and there is no need for batteries and other consumables,
If water is replenished, it can be used forever and an eco-friendly toy can be provided.

Further, since the spray is formed so as to be loaded in the mouth, water can be easily supplied.
