Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a toy in which a floating body is moved by magnetic action.

Currently, there are many toys that use magnetism on the market, but there are only a few toys whose play is mainly guided by magnetic action. FIG. 1 shows an example of a conventional play toy related to the present invention. In the figure, (1) is a triangular floating body made of paper, (2) is a picture drawn on the surface of floating body (1), (3) is an iron plate that attracts magnetically, and (4) is an iron plate ( 3) is used to attach the iron plate (3) to the bottom of the floating body (1).

(5) Non-magnetic material (paper, plastic, etc.) plate (6
) is a magnet.

That is, when a floating body (1) is placed on a plate (5) and a magnet (6) is brought close to the plate (5) from below, the floating body (1) moves to attract the magnet (6). For this reason, when the magnet (6) is moved in various directions, the floating body (1) also moves in various directions in accordance with the magnet (6), so it has been used in play equipment for children.

However, this floating toy has separate parts; for example, the floating body (1) is moved by holding the plate (5) with the left hand and operating the magnet (6) with the right hand;
If you move the floating body (1) too quickly, the floating body (1) tends to fall over, and if it falls over, you have to use either hand to hold up the floating body (1) in order to play, which is a hassle. Also, although it is interesting that the floating body (1) moves in accordance with the movement of the magnet (6), since the magnet (6) is moved directly by hand, the floating body (1) moves in the direction of the hand movement. It was easy to understand, and the fun of getting used to it was diminished. Also, since you touch the parts directly with your hands both when playing with them and when putting them away,
Parts were easy to break and easy to lose. Also, this species (
The floating objects (1), which are fixed by hand if they fall down, have drawbacks such as the inability to play with a large number of floating objects (1).

This invention solves the above-mentioned drawbacks, and the floating body is made into an elliptical shape, and the magnet that moves the floating body is moved using a device, thereby making the movement of the floating body interesting and making it easier to play. It is an attempt to make use of toys.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 5. In the figure, the same reference numerals as in Figure 1 indicate the same (equivalent) parts, (7) is the case, (8) is the cover made of transparent material (plastic, etc.), (9) is the ellipsoidal floating body, (
10) is a convex line on plate (5), (11) is a groove, (
(12) is a shaft, (15) is a tooth formed on the outer periphery of the rotating plate (12), (16) is a drive rod having teeth (17) that engage with the teeth (15) of the rotating plate (12), ( 18) is the drive rod (1
This is the lever that moves 6). The drive rod (16) is attached to the case (
7) It is gathered at one end of the elongated hole (19). (21)
is a pawl for preventing the rotating plate (12) from reversing. That is, when the lever (18) is moved in the direction of the arrow, the rotating plate (1
2) rotates to the left, and the magnet (6) also moves together.

When you release your hand, the lever (18) will be released by the action of the tension spring (20).
) returns to its original position, allowing the rotary plate (12) to move continuously.

On the other hand, the floating body (9) has an ellipsoidal shape as shown in FIG.
The body (22) is made of a non-magnetic material (plastic, etc.), and the end portion has magnetically attracted objects (23) (iron, magnets, etc.) on one or both sides. For this reason, the floating body (9) is in a state of overturning on the m plate (5) in its natural state, but
When the magnet (6) is under the plate (5), the object at the end (2
3), the adsorption action works, and the floating body (9) tilts and rolls until it finally assumes a self-supporting position. If the magnet (6) is removed, the object (23) at the end is spherical and cannot stand on its own and will naturally roll over.

Therefore, when the magnet (6) under the plate (5) is rotated by operating the lever (18), the floating body (9) on the plate (5) becomes independent when the magnet (6) comes down. and the magnet (
6) and move. However, since there are convex lines (10) and hot water (11) on the plate (5), the floating body (9)
supports it and rolls over. But also the next magnet (6)
comes and becomes independent.

In this way, toys in this category have floating bodies shaped like ellipsoids so that they can stand on their own and roll over naturally even with the magnet (6) under the plate (5) and uneven surfaces on the plate (5). Since the magnets (6) under the plate (5) are arranged in various shapes and are invisible, the floating body (9) moves in a completely unpredictable manner, creating an interesting toy. Since this toy is constructed in one piece within the case (7) and cover (8), it is unlikely to break even if it is handled a little roughly as a toy for children. You can start. Other embodiments and application examples of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 6 to 9. In the figure, the same reference numerals as in Figures 1 to 5 indicate the same (corresponding) parts, (24) and belt (25) are flat wheels of belt (26),
(26) is a handle, (27) is a through hole of floating body (9), (28) is a bar magnet, (29) is a plastic cover, and (30) is a beak.

Figure 6 shows a belt (24) with a magnet (6) under the plate (5) which can be rotated by a handle (26);
A floating body (9) is sent from the left end to the right end of the plate (5), and it is a game machine in which two sets of this device are lined up (not shown) and compete with another operator.

In addition, this invention is a new way of constructing a toy, and by changing the shape, number, and movement of parts, many different toys other than the above examples can be created. In other words, for example, there are ways to move the magnet (6) under the plate (5), in addition to the above-mentioned rotation and belt type, there are also ways to move the magnet (6) under the plate (5).
It is also possible to attach a magnet and move it back and forth, left and right, or to move it up and down relative to the surface of the plate (5).
5) A large number of magnets may be arranged below, and the presence or absence of magnetism may be determined by turning on or off electricity. Further, the shape of the magnet (6) may be rod-like, plate-like, round, cloud-like, etc., and the type (metal magnetized, rubber-like, ferrite, etc.) and number of magnets are also not limited.

Moreover, on the surface of the plate (5), there are convex lines (10), grooves (
In addition to 11), you can make it even more interesting by placing wart-like protrusions or models of rocks, houses, etc. to change the movement of the floating object (9).

Also, in the above example, the magnet (6) is moved and the plate (5) is fixed, but even if the magnets (6) are placed side by side and the plate (5) is moved, the floating body (9) will roll over. It is clear that they can do this and become independent.

Also, the method of moving the magnet (6) and plate (5) is as follows:
In addition to the manual method, spring force, electric power, etc. may be used.

In addition, the shape of the floating body (9) is similar to that of the magnet (
When the body (22) comes under the floating body (9), it is sufficient that it changes from a rolled-over state to a self-supporting position. ) can be not only a perfect circle but also an ellipse or a polygon. In addition, the shape of the part (23) that attracts the magnet at the end is shown in Fig. 5, and the shape of the body (22) of the floating body (9) is shown in Fig. 7.
A through hole (27) is provided in the rod-shaped magnet (27) with spherical ends on both ends.
8) may be used. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 8, a rod-shaped magnet (28) may be covered with a plastic cover (29) and made into an integrated structure. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 9, nothing may be exposed on the external surface when the vehicle is in a rollover state.

Figure 9 shows the egg when it is in a rolled position, and the beak (3) when it is in an independent position.
0) came out and showed it to the chick.

As described above, the present invention makes the floating body ellipsoidal, provides a magnetically adhering object (23) at its longitudinal end, and places it on the plate (5), and a magnet is placed under the plate (5). (6
), and is provided with a device that changes the relative position of the floating body (9) and the magnet (6), and by operating this device, the floating body (9) moves in a variable manner. The movement of the floating body (9) is completely unpredictable. Beautiful, colored (including patterns and pictures) small objects (moving objects) move quickly, making toys for children a delight. Furthermore, as mentioned above, the mechanism of the present invention can be easily designed into various different toys, and has a wide range of applications. For example, as shown in Figure 3, the thickness of this toy (from the bottom of the case (7) to the cover (8)) can be made thin, so it can be incorporated into a walker table, a coffee shop table, the top of a home kotatsu, etc. , it can also be made into a fun product.
