Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a rotating walking toy that is capable of walking by continuously rotating a plane.

BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, there have been transfer toys in which a transfer path is provided in a hollow body, a weight is stored in the hollow body, and the transfer toy is rolled on a flat surface or an inclined surface.

However, in this type of toy that rolls on a flat surface, the weight is rolled into a hollow body, so it is necessary to apply momentum to the toy body and push it forward, and once the bias is finished, the rolling stops. It is something.

Therefore, it was only a slight change to the commonly known Okari-Ari Koboshi.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned drawbacks, and provides a rotating walking toy that can automatically and continuously rotate and walk on a flat surface, and is rich in variety and interest.

An embodiment of the rotating walking toy according to the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings.

1 is the machine frame, 2 is a rectangular hollow body attached to the top of the machine frame 1,
3 is a transfer surface of the hollow body 2, and 4 is a cylindrical iron weight housed within the hollow body 2.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a mainspring box disposed within the machine frame 1, and 6 a crown gear pivotally attached to the mainspring shaft within the mainspring box 5, which is provided on the upper part of the mainspring box 5.

7 is a pinion meshing with the crown gear 6, and 8 is a shaft to which the pinion 7 is attached, one end of which protrudes to the side of the machine frame 1.

9 is a pinion that is pivotally attached to the protruding end of the shaft 8.

Reference numeral 10.11 denotes a rotating shaft supported by the machine frame 1, and gears 12.13 are respectively attached to one side of the machine frame 1, and the gears 12.13 are constantly meshed with the pinion 9. are doing.

Reference numeral 14 denotes a front leg body formed in a substantially inverted T-shape that is pivotally supported on the protruding end of the rotating shaft 10 protruding from the side of the machine frame 1, and 15 indicates the protruding end of the rotating shaft 11 protruding from the side of the machine frame 1. This is a rear leg body formed in a substantially inverted T shape and pivotally supported by.

The mounting positions of the front leg 14 and the rear leg 15 are such that the legs 14 and 15 do not come into contact with each other while the toy body is rotating and walking.
Determined at intervals.

Therefore, the fulcrum of the rotating shaft 10 is located above the center of gravity axis of the toy body, and the fulcrum of the rotating shaft 11 is located below the center of gravity axis of the toy body, so that the toy body can continuously rotate. There is.

In the drawings, numeral 16 indicates a spring winding knob.

Next, the operation of the present invention will be explained.

First, when the mainspring winding knob 16 is turned, the crown gear 6 rotates due to the decoding force of the mainspring, and the shaft 8 is rotated by the rotation of the crown gear 6 and the pinion 7 that meshes with it.
rotates.

As the shaft 8 rotates, the rotating shaft 10.11 rotates in conjunction with the pinion 9 and the gear 12.13 meshing with the pinion 9.

However, since the rotating shaft 10 is supported above the rotating shaft 11, the toy body is tilted forward when placed on a flat surface, so the weight 4 is always forward. to roll.

Therefore, the toy body is lifted from the rear by the weight of the weight 4, and the rear legs 15 to which rotational force is applied by the rotating shaft 10.11 rotate, and the toy body rotates about the legs 14 as a fulcrum. do.

At this time, the rotation of the toy body causes the rear leg body 15 to move forward of the toy body, but since the rear leg body 15 is located below the center of gravity axis of the toy body, its pivot point moves forward when the toy body It will be located above the center of gravity axis.

Therefore, due to the reciprocating movement of the weight 4, the toy main body repeats the above-mentioned movements while maintaining a forward leaning posture, and continuously walks and rotates on a flat surface.

In this embodiment, an iron weight formed in a cylindrical shape is used as the weight 4, but it may be made of any material and shape.
For example, a liquid may be used.

Further, although the hollow body 2 housing the weight 4 is attached above the machine frame 1, it may be attached to the lower part of the machine frame 1.

Furthermore, although the pivot points of the rotation shafts 10 and 11 are provided above and below the center of gravity axis of the toy body as a boundary, the pivot points of the rotation shaft 11 of the rear leg body 15 are set on the front legs without being set on the center of gravity axis. It may be provided below the pivot point of the rotating shaft 10 of the body 14.

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, it is possible to walk while automatically rotating continuously on a flat surface, and if the gear mechanism is used as an acceleration/deceleration mechanism, it will add interest and variety to the walking motion. In addition to being able to draw a human face on the frame of the machine,
You can make it even more interesting by using a human foot as a motif for the legs.

It also has excellent effects such as a simple structure and low cost.
