Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] This invention uses multiple belts displaying characters, graphics, symbols, etc. (hereinafter referred to as marks), and by running these belts with an electric motor, the upper surface of the case The present invention relates to a game toy in which games such as letter matching and picture matching can be played by combining marks appearing in a see-through window formed in the toy.

A variety of electric game toys have been proposed in the past, in which marks such as letters, graphics, or symbols appear from the window of the case, and the game is played by combining the marks that appear on the window. The various marks appearing on the drum were displayed on the circumference of a relatively large-diameter electric drum.

Therefore, a toy body containing a plurality of such drums had to be large overall.

Furthermore, although the operating mechanism has been improved, it is still a fairly complex mechanism, and it has not been possible to make the game device itself smaller or thinner.

Here, the present invention has developed a thin model that can be placed in a clothes pocket, etc., and in particular, a pair of parallel shafts are installed inside the case, and a belt is stretched between these parallel shafts. , and displays various marks on the belt, and an actuating mechanism operated by a push button and a starting lever is configured by a swinging member equipped with a stopper, and a sliding plate adjacent to the member and pressing the same. The above-mentioned problems of the conventional type are solved by a simple structure consisting of a pressing body that slides the sliding plate forward.

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes an exterior case, and this case is structured so that it can be divided into an upper case 1a and a lower case 1b.At the upper front of the upper case 1a, a belt inside the case is displayed from the outside. A window 2 is opened to see through the mark.

Incidentally, a transparent plastic plate is integrally fitted into the window 2, as an example.

On the other hand, the lower case 1b is formed with a battery storage part 4 having a removable lid 3 at its bottom, and a battery 5 is stored inside the battery storage part 4.

A plurality of display belts 6 are arranged in parallel inside the case 1 so as to face the window 2, and a large number of different marks 7 are displayed at equal intervals on the belt surface.

The display belt 6 is made of paper, for example, and is stretched between parallel shafts 8a and 8b built in the case, so that the belt runs under the window 2.

The means for running the belt 6 will be explained below.
Pulleys 9a and 9b are attached to parallel shafts 8a and 8b, respectively, and a display belt 6 is stretched between these pulleys.

The pulleys 9a and 9b are attached to the parallel shafts 8a and 8b in a number corresponding to the number of display belts 6, and in FIG.
As an example, three braking protrusions 10 are provided at equal intervals.

In the figure, the protrusion 10 is provided at the center of the circumferential surface of the pulley 9b, but it may be provided at both ends or one end thereof.

Further, a small pulley 11 is integrally formed on each side of the pulley 9b.

A rotating shaft 13 is provided between the parallel shafts 8a and 8b, a small pulley 12 corresponding to the small pulley 11 is attached to this rotating shaft, and a driving rubber belt 14 is stretched between these pulleys 8at8b.

A gear 15 is attached to the shaft end of the rotating shaft 13, and a gear 17 attached to the rotating shaft 16a of the electric motor 16 is meshed with this gear. When the electric motor 16 rotates, the small pulley 11
The display belt 6 is configured to transmit rotation to the display belt 6, thereby rotating the boo IJ 9b and rotating the display belt 6.

In the illustrated embodiment, the display belt 6 has a hole 18 in its belt surface into which a projection 10 provided on the pulley 9b is fitted.
Since a perforated belt is used (see FIG. 6), this belt 6 rotates on the circumferential surface of the pulley 9b without slipping.

Next, the start/stop mechanism and switch mechanism of the display belt will be sequentially explained.

As shown in FIGS. 2 to 5, a swinging member 19 with an angled cross section is provided near each pulley 9b.

This swinging member 19 has a stopper 20 formed at its tip, and is supported as a whole on a support shaft 21 so as to be swingable, so that the stopper 20 is removably positioned on a protrusion 10 provided on a pulley 9b.

In the horizontal piece 19a of the swinging member having the stopper 20, a hole 22 is formed into which the push button shaft 24 is loosely inserted, and a bearing 23 into which the push button shaft 24 is fitted is provided vertically below the hole 22.

The push button 25 is fixed to the upper end of the button shaft 24 and disposed on the upper surface of the horizontal piece 19a of the swinging member, and as the swinging member swings about the support shaft 21, it protrudes and retracts from the surface of the upper case. Configure it so that it is clear.

That is, when the push button is pressed, it sinks into the case and presses the horizontal piece 19a downward, causing the stopper 20 and the protrusion 1
0.

On the other hand, when the activation lever is raised as described later, the pressing part 26
Due to the action of a, the swinging member 30 swings upward and presses the push button 2.
5 to the original position.

Note that 25a is a flange formed at the lower part of the push button, which defines the upper position of the push button and prevents the button shaft 24 from being pulled out of the bearing 25 more than necessary.

A slidable sliding plate 26 is provided below the swinging member 19 to press the member toward the pulley, and the vertical piece 19b of the swinging member is pressed forward (towards the pulley) on the upper surface thereof. A pressing portion 26a is provided in a protruding manner.

Further, a lever shaft 27 is provided at the rear of the vertical piece 19b, and extends horizontally through the side surface of the case 1, and a pressing body 28 for pressing the pressing portion 26a forward is provided on this lever shaft.
Install.

Further, a starting lever 29 is fixed to the outer end of the lever shaft 27, and a return spring (not shown) that wraps the lever around the lever shaft allows the lever to stand by at the operating position when not in operation.

Reference numeral 30 denotes a fixed contact member provided on the battery storage section 4;
This contact member has a leaf spring-like tongue portion 30a extending above each swing member 19.

On the other hand, the movable contact member 31 that protrudes from the through hole formed on the upper surface of the swinging member 19 in order to contact the tongue piece is attached to the vertical piece 1.
Fix it to the pulley side of 9b.

The movable contact member 31 is configured to separate from the tongue portion 30a as shown in FIG. 3 or come into contact with the tongue portion 30a as shown in FIG. 5 as the rocking member swings.

The contact members 30 and 31 constitute the main body of a switch mechanism that opens and closes the energizing circuit of the electric motor 16, and this switch mechanism consists of connecting the electric motor 16 and the battery 5 as illustrated in FIG. They are inserted in parallel into the connection circuit.

When using the device of the present invention constructed as described above, when the activation lever 29 is first raised as shown in the imaginary line in FIG.
presses the pressing portion 26a of the sliding plate 26 in the direction of the pulley, so the swinging member 19 swings upward about the support shaft 21, and the stopper 20 and the protrusion 10 are disengaged.

At the same time, the movable contact member 31 comes into contact with the fixed contact member 30 via the tongue piece 30a, and the power supply 5 is connected to the electric motor 16.
The electric motor rotates when the voltage is applied.

When the electric motor rotates, the pulley 9b rotates, and accordingly, the display belt 6 stretched between the pulleys 9a and 9b also begins to rotate.

In this case, the starting lever 29 immediately returns to its original position when the hand is released, but the swinging member 19 is held in the position shown in FIG. ensure that

When each push button 25 is arbitrarily pressed while the display belt 6 is rotating, each swinging member 19 swings downward due to this pressing operation, and the stopper 20 at the tip engages with the protrusion 10 of the pulley 9b. As a result, each pulley 9b comes to stop independently, regardless of its neighboring pulleys.

Therefore, the belt 6 stretched between the pulleys 9a and 9b
Since the belt stops running, the mark 7 displayed on each belt surface faces the window 2 of the case 1, and the desired game play can be performed by combining the marks displayed on the display window. It is something.

Note that when the rotation of all the pulleys (display belt) is stopped by pressing the push button, the movable contact member 31 and the fixed contact member are separated, the energizing circuit of the electric motor 16 is opened, and the electric motor stops its operation. .

In the device of the present invention, a pulley is rotatably installed on parallel shafts disposed inside the case, an endless belt is stretched between these parallel shafts, and letters, letters, etc. are printed on the surface of the belt. Since this belt is rotated by an electric motor without displaying marks such as graphics or symbols, the overall thickness can be made extremely thin, and the circumference of the electric drum itself can be reduced unlike the conventional type. It has the advantage that a large number of marks can be displayed compared to a case where marks are displayed on a surface, and there is no need to reduce the size of the marks in this case.

Incidentally, the conventional type had the disadvantage that in order to display a large number of marks, the diameter of the drum had to be increased or the size of the marks had to be reduced.

The device of the present invention has a length of 1.05 mm, for example.
Horizontal 7577D71. It can be implemented in a size that fits in a pocket with a thickness of 20 mm.

The operating mechanism used in the device of the present invention is simple and consists of a swinging member provided with a stopper, a sliding plate that is adjacent to the member and presses it, and a pressing body that slides the sliding plate forward. Because of this configuration, there is an advantage that this device can operate reliably and can be made into an extremely small device.

As mentioned above, the present invention allows multiple belts with a large number of marks to be rotated at the same time by operating a lever, and each can be stopped individually by operating a push button. Since the operating mechanism is incorporated in a small and simple form that does not take up much bulk, it is possible to provide a thin model that can be stored in a pocket with an overall thickness of about 20rrvn, which is a convenience not seen in conventional models. .
