Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a switch mechanism, and in particular,
Dolls with built-in switch mechanisms can perform a wide variety of actions, such as making a cry or stopping crying, depending on whether the doll is in a prone or upright position. do.

Conventionally, many of the switch mechanisms in dolls and the like have been provided with a switch on the surface of the doll's body, and the doll makes a sound only when a person operates the switch.

For this reason, unless a person operates the switch, there is no change in the vocalizations even if the doll is placed in an up-and-down position, so the user loses interest and quickly becomes bored.

This invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and an object of the invention is to provide a switch mechanism in which a switch automatically turns on and off by taking an up-and-down position. .

Another object of the present invention is to provide a switch mechanism that is always stable, in which the contact pieces of the terminals are less likely to separate from the connection plate even when external forces such as vibrations are applied.

Still another object of the present invention is to provide a switch 1 that can cause a doll or the like to make interesting sounds or movements.

As shown in the illustrated embodiment, the present invention includes a case 2, a plurality of corresponding terminals 3 and 4 arranged at both ends of the case 2, and a case 2 provided in a direction between these terminals 3 and 4. Contact piece 3 a of both terminals 3 and 4 before facing inside

A specific invention is a switch mechanism in cedar, etc., and a case 2, a plurality of corresponding terminals 3 and 4 arranged at both ends of the case 2, and a switch mechanism provided in a direction between these terminals 3 and 4. , between the contact pieces 3a, 4a of the front terminals 3, 4 facing inside the case 2, and the terminals 3.4, contact with the contact pieces 3a, 4a, or at least one contact single edge 1. The contact pieces 3a, 4a are arranged in the case 2 so that the terminals 3, 4 can be rotated depending on the rotational angle or posture of the case 2 with respect to the contact pieces 3a, 4a.
It consists of a connecting plate 5 that moves into contact with or moves away from at least one of the contact pieces, and a weight 6 that presses the connecting plate 5 within the case 2 depending on the rotation angle or posture of the case 20. The combined invention is a switch mechanism for a doll or the like, characterized in that a spring is used for the contact piece 9a of any one terminal 9 of the plurality of terminals 3 and 4.

By adopting such a configuration, the switch mechanism can be reliably turned on depending on the rotation angle or posture of the swing.
Can perform OFF operation.

As a result, by incorporating such a switch mechanism into the body of a doll, etc., and activating the internal electrical components via this switch mechanism, the doll, etc. can perform a variety of varied movements simply by standing up and down. It becomes possible to do so.

The present invention will be explained below based on the drawings. FIGS. 1 and 2 are diagrams showing an embodiment of the switch mechanism of the present invention. 1 is a switch mechanism, and the switch as the switch mechanism 1 includes a case 2 and two ends 7-
3, 4, a connection plate 5 that opens and closes the terminals 3 and 4, and a connecting plate 5 that is connected to both terminals 3 and 4 in an undulating position.
It is composed of a weight 6 that turns the house OFF. here,
The case 2 has a cylindrical shape and is made of a highly insulating material such as plastic. Further, this case 2 includes two case members 2a and 2ba, which are provided with side plates at both ends, and further have flanges on the outside of the side plates for sandwiching terminals 3 and 4, which will be described later. The case 2 is not limited to a cylindrical shape, and may have other shapes. The terminals 3 and 4 are provided with a protrusion inside the case 2, and contact pieces 3a and 4a are provided in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the protrusion extends. Further, the terminals 3 and 4 are connected to case members 2a and 2.
They are sandwiched between flanges provided on both ends of b. The contact plate 5 is disposed between the terminals 3 and 4 so that at least one side line in the width direction thereof can move toward the inner circumferential wall of the case 2. Further, the connection plate 5 has a protruding portion 5a which is pressed by a weight 6, which will be described later, on a substantially central portion of the surface opposite to the surface which abuts the terminals 3 and 4 to form a protrusion 5a which abuts. The connecting plate holder, which will be described later, is disposed so as to be movable to the side opposite to the portion where the connecting plate 5 is disposed via a stopper 7.7. In the case 2, there are formed a stopper 7.7 for the connection plate holder and a stopper 8 for positioning the weight 6 when the weight 6 moves and presses the connection plate 5. There is. The stopper 7 for the connection plate holder prevents the connection plate 5 from entering the range in which the weight 6 moves depending on the rotation angle or posture of the case 2. When the case 2 changes from a horizontal state to a rotated state, the weight 6 moves and presses the connection plate 5 so that it is held between the stopper 8 and the protrusion 5a of the connection plate 5, and the connection plate 5 and the contact pieces 3a, 4a of the terminal 3.4 are firmly connected. 10°10 is a spacer, and this spacer is 1U.

Reference numeral 10 is provided on the measuring plate of the case 2, and the movement of the weight 6 prevents the terminals 3 and 4 from connecting with the heavy top.

In addition, when case 2 is placed in an upright position (Fig. 2 (, C
), the connecting plate 5 has a protruding portion 5a pressed by a weight 6, and is in contact with the contact pieces 3a, 4a of both terminals 3, 4 to maintain the ON state.

Next, with reference to FIG. 3, a method of connecting the electric circuit of the switch mechanism will be explained. Instead, connect the positive side of a power source E, for example, a dry battery, to one terminal 4 of the switch mechanism, and connect the negative side to one terminal of the motor M. The other terminal 9 of the switch mechanism 1 and the other terminal of the motor M are connected. In this way, a connection between the power source E, the switch mechanism 1, and the motor M is configured.

The switch mechanism 1 incorporated in a doll or the like is driven by a motor M to rotate a record and make a crying sound.

Next, the operation will be explained. First, when the case 2 is placed in a horizontal state, the connection plate 5 is not pressed by the weight 6 and is therefore separated from the contact pieces 3a and 4a of both terminals 3 and 4. Therefore, since the electric circuit is not established, the motor M is stopped. When the case 2 is rotated from a horizontal state, the connection plate 5 is pressed by the weight 6 and the contact piece 3 on both terminals 3 and 4 side
a'+4a, an electric circuit of power source E-switch mechanism 1-motor M is established, and current flows to drive motor M. However, when case 2 is in a vertical position and tilted from vertical to horizontal (e.g. 30 degrees)
#A), the weight 6 moves in the horizontal direction, so that the connection plate 5 separates from at least one contact piece: 3a, 4a of both terminals 3.4 and turns OFF.

If this switch mechanism 1 is stored inside the body of a doll, etc.,
When in the upright position, the doll stops crying, and when in the prone position, the doll makes a crying sound.

In this embodiment, the switch mechanism is housed inside the body of the doll, but the switch mechanism is not limited to the doll, and may be incorporated into a toy, or other devices.

Also, the record becomes even more interesting if you change the sound of crying or record laughter or singing.

Next, FIG. 4 is a longitudinal sectional view showing another embodiment of the present invention.

This embodiment consists of two terminals 3, 3 and 3 of the switch mechanism of FIG.
The contact piece 9a of any one of the terminals 9 among the terminals 9 is made into a spring. This terminal 9 uses a spring so that one end faces inside the case 2, and the connecting plate 5 is hung around it.The terminal 9 also serves as a contact piece 9a that the connecting plate 5 contacts, and the other end is hung around the case 2. There is. In this embodiment, a spring is used for the terminal 9, but instead of using a spring for the entire terminal 9, only the portion of the contact piece 9a that contacts the connecting plate 5 may be made of a spring. Also, when the case 2 is rotated from a horizontal state, the connection plate 5 is pressed by the weight 6 and comes into contact with the contact piece 9a of the terminal 9, and vibration is applied to the case 2, which is input to the connection plate 5. At this time, since the terminal 9 absorbs vibration and also biases the connection plate 5, the connection plate 5 can be maintained in the connected state. Other configurations and operations are the same as those of the embodiment described above.

As explained above, according to the present invention, a case, a plurality of corresponding terminals arranged at both ends of the case, and a contact between the terminals provided in a direction between these terminals and facing into the case. and between the terminals, the contact piece is arranged within the case so as to be able to move into contact with both the contact pieces or move away from at least one of the contact pieces, and with respect to the contact pieces of the both terminals, a connecting plate that makes contact with both of the contact pieces or moves away from at least one of the contact pieces depending on the rotation angle or attitude of the case; By comprising a weight that presses the connection plate, it is possible to reliably turn ON or OFF depending on the rotation angle or posture of the case. Furthermore, by incorporating such a switch mechanism into the body of a doll, etc., and activating the built-in electrical parts via this switch mechanism, the doll, etc. can be made to make variable vocalizations and movements in an up-and-down posture. is possible.
