Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Purpose of the invention] (Field of industrial application) The present invention relates to an animal activity toy imitating an animal such as a dog.

(Prior Art) Various kinds of dog-like activity toys have been known, but the conventional dog-like animal activity toys exhibiting the action of opening and closing their eyes are as follows:
For example, eyeballs are fixed on both sides of the facial part of a head and body frame that moves up and down, and eyelash pieces that are located above the eyeballs and open and close the eyeballs are rotatably attached via support shafts on both sides. When the head frame is lifted, the eyelashes rotate to expose the eyeballs, giving the appearance of being awake. When the head frame is lowered, the eyelashes rotate to expose the front of the eyeballs. There is a structure that allows the eyelids to be closed by covering the eyelids.

(Problem that the invention aims to solve) Conventional animal activity toys only close and open the eyes in relation to the vertical movement of the head frame, and the overall movement is small. There is a need for an animal activity toy that exhibits the motion of falling asleep or waking up from sleep and opening its eyes wide, and that can evoke that emotion.

The animal activity toy of the present invention was created in view of the above-mentioned needs.The animal activity toy has been developed in view of the above-mentioned needs. To provide an animal activity toy which alternately exhibits the behavior of opening the door wide open and barking and groaning at times other than the behavior of sleeping, and also exhibits the behavior of breathing deeply.

[Structure of the idea]

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be explained.

When the switch 7 is closed, the electric motor 6 is driven,
The rotation of the drive gear 12 causes the reduction gear 11, intermediate gear 10, input gear 9, and gear interlocking mechanism 8 to be interlocked.

Then, when the drive shaft 14 of the output gear 13 of the gear interlocking mechanism 8 is rotated and the cam plate 15 fixed to one end of this drive shaft 14 is rotated, this cam plate 1
When the engagement protrusion 56 of the operating frame 54 is engaged with the cam surface 55 of 5 and pushed by the cam surface 55, the operating frame 54 moves against the coil spring 60 using the vertical shaft 53 as a fulcrum. The bulging plate 5 is rotated and is integrated with the operating frame 54.

The coil spring 60 causes the input gear 9 to rotate and return inward, which is repeated alternately.
The interlocking piece 6 is rotated by the rotation of the crankshaft 61 on which the
3, the crankshaft 65 is interlocked and rotated, the tail rod 66 is reciprocated in the vertical direction, and the toy body 72 is
While lying down, the patient sways the tail body 74 while inflating and retracting the abdomen 73.

Next, along with the above operation, the gear interlocking mechanism 8
The rotation of the output gear 13 causes the interlocking gear 17 to be interlocked via the relay gear 16.
The interlocking shaft 18 to which the interlocking rod 21 is fixed is rotated, and the actuating plate 19 fixed to one end of the interlocking shaft 18 is rotated, so that the interlocking rod 21 of the actuating plate 19 and the movable neck inserted through the interlocking rod 21 are rotated. The movable neck frame 23 is interlocked and rotated downward (counterclockwise in FIG. 4) about the support shaft 22 via a long guide groove 26 formed in one support piece 24 of the frame 23. This movable neck frame 2
3, the head frame 34 gradually lowers its head, and the head frame 34 is attached to a pair of mounting shafts 32 and 33 provided at a slight distance from the movable neck frame 23. Therefore, the face portion 35 is slightly rotated downward (clockwise in FIG. 4). Then, the movable neck frame 23 is lowered to a predetermined lowering position, and the plate spring 4 is in a state where one of the mounting shafts 32 is locked to the front end upper part 48 of the machine frame 5.
The cover frame 40 attached to the tip of the plate spring 47 moves upward with the support rod 39 as a fulcrum by the bending action of the plate spring 47 (see Fig. 4). clockwise)
is rotated. Therefore, when the head body frame 34 descends to the lowest position via the movable neck frame 23 and lies down, the cover portion 43 of the cover frame 40 becomes the cover frame 40 covered with the outer skin 71. The cover body 75 covers the eyeballs 36 of the face body 76 consisting of the face part 35 covered with the outer skin body 71, and covers the abdomen 7.
When the toy body 72 is shaking the tail body 74 while inflating and retracting the body 3, the toy body 72 is lying down and the head body 77 consisting of the head body frame 34 covered with the outer skin body 71 is When lying low, the patient closes his eyes and acts as if he is dozing off.

Further, as the actuation plate 19 is further rotated, the movable neck frame 23 supports the support shaft 22 and is rotated in the opposite direction, and the head frame 23 is rotated in the opposite direction.
The head frame 34 is gradually lifted by the movable neck frame 23 while the face part 35 of the head 4 is also slightly rotated upward in the opposite direction. Due to the restoring force, the plate spring 47 whose part is pressed gradually shifts from the curved state to the restoring operation, and the cover frame 4
0 is rotated downward in the opposite direction using the support rod 39 as a fulcrum, and when the head body frame 34 is at a predetermined lifting position, the state in which the eyeball 36 is covered by the covering portion 43 is released, and both the eyeballs 36 and That part will be exposed. Therefore, the toy body 72 wakes up from its drowsy sleep, opens its eyes wide, lifts its head body 77 and makes a levering motion, and inflates and retracts its abdomen 73, as well as extends its tail body 74. Exhibits a shaking motion.

Also, when the head body 77 is lowered and lifted, the interlocking rod 21 rotates the movable neck frame 23 in conjunction with the movement.
By rotating the actuating plate 19 having a
Each of the plurality of uneven pushing protrusions 20 of 9 sequentially and intermittently pushes the pushing part 27 at one corner of the rotating plate 28 to reciprocate and rotate the rotating plate 28. A pushing rod 29 integral with the rotating plate 28 protruding from the other corner of the rotating plate 28 pushes and expands and contracts the actuating part 31 of the body 30, so that the toy body 72
The cover body 75 starts from the start of the downward movement of the head body 77.
, and from the time when the head body 77 is lifted and the part of the eyeball 36 covered by the cover body 75 is exposed until the head body 77 is lifted. In other words, the dog repeatedly exhibits barking behavior.

Note that the abdomen 73 of the toy body 72, that is, the bulging plate 5
If 8 is forcibly pushed inward from the outside,
The tip of the stopper pin 59 of the bulging plate 58 engages with the side plate of the battery storage case 2, preventing the bulging plate 58 from being pushed further and preventing the bulging plate 58 from coming into contact with the reduction gear 11 or the like. This will not cause any malfunction.

In addition, when the head body 77 of the toy body 72 is forced downward or the like during operation of the toy body 72, the interlocking gear 17 clutched to the stopper body 50 resists the coil spring 51. The clutch is slid in the axial direction, and the clutch connection with the stopper body 50 is released, thereby preventing teeth of the engaged gears from being damaged.

Next, in the embodiment, the cover frame 40 and the support shaft 2
Although the structure in which the plate spring 47 is stretched between the head frame 2 and the cover frame 40 has been described, the structure in which the cover frame 40 attached to the head body frame 34 by the movable neck frame 23 is lowered to the point of landing on the floor. Now plate spring 4
7 is not necessarily necessary, and when the cover frame 40 that becomes the cover 75 is lifted and separated from the landing surface, the mandibular frame portion 42 of the cover frame 40 is attached to the support rod 3.
9 and rotates downward by its own weight, and the middle of the lower surface of this mandibular frame portion 42 is connected to the supporting frame plate 4 of the head frame 34.
The cover frame 40 does not cover the eyes 36 on both sides, and when the cover frame 40 is lowered, the bent portion 40
When the head and body frame 34 is moved downward by the movable neck frame 23 even when a touches the landing surface, the cover frame 40 is rotated using the bent portion 40a that has landed on the floor as a fulcrum, and The face part 35 of the head frame 34 descending into the cover part 43 is gradually lowered and covered, and finally the eyeballs 36 on both sides are covered by the cover part 43 as in the case of the previous embodiment. Gutai 72 closes its eyes and appears to be dozing off.

[Effect of idea]

According to the present invention, the head body is attached to the toy body in a lying down position so that it can rise and fall freely, and a cover separate from the head body is rotatably attached to the face of the head body. When the body moves up and down, that is, when the head moves downward, the cover body automatically rotates greatly to ensure that the eyes of the face are covered, so that the toy body closes its eyes and falls asleep. When the head exhibits a certain movement and the head body starts, the covering body rotates significantly in the opposite direction to uncover the eyeball part of the face, ensuring that the eyeball is exposed, and thus the toy body. wakes up from sleep and exhibits the action of wide-opening its eyes.Moreover, during this sleeping action and the action of opening its eyes, the abdomen expands and contracts, and the toy body exhibits the action of breathing deeply. When the eyes are opened wide, it exhibits a groaning motion, and therefore, when the toy is lying down, the animal, such as a dog, may doze while raising and lowering its head at predetermined intervals.
It sometimes wakes up and makes repeated barking movements, and each of these movements is large and appealing, making it extremely interesting as an animal activity toy.
