Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial application field This invention is a toy in which an ornamental floating body is enclosed in a transparent container, the floating body is easily rocked, and the movement of the floating body can be enjoyed. The present invention relates to a toy in which an ornamental floating body is enclosed in a transparent container that can also be used as an interior decoration when the toy is placed on a bookshelf, desk, table, etc. when not in use.

BACKGROUND TECHNOLOGY Conventionally, this type of toy or interior decoration ornament was made by assembling artificial flowers and underwater flowers in a transparent container, or a model of a sailing ship in an empty bottle. There are shaped ornaments and hourglasses used to measure a certain amount of time.

Problems that the invention aims to solve These toys or ornaments are designed to give movement to the ornamental parts in the container, since shaking them will damage the ornamental parts in the container. Since I can't do anything about it, it's just an ornament and has no interest.

In addition, an hourglass used to measure a certain amount of time is constructed in this manner because the sand in the hourglass is simply caused to fall through the throat of the container and the time is measured. Since an hourglass is not very interesting, the inventor of the present invention filled the container of the hourglass with water to provide resistance to the sand as it falls from the upper chamber to the lower chamber, slowing down the sand's falling speed, and making it easier to move the container upward. Gears are placed directly above and below the throat, which is divided into two lower chambers, and when sand from the upper chamber passes through the throat and enters the lower chamber, the falling sand rotates the gear. In addition to measuring time, we proposed an hourglass that makes the movement of falling sand interesting. (Jikko 54
-29815) However, although this hourglass is also fun to watch the movement of the gears placed inside the container and the falling sand,
When placed on a bookshelf, desk, table, etc. in case of emergency, it is not suitable as an ornamental ornament.

Means for Solving the Problems This invention, when used as a toy, generates interest by shaking the container and giving various movements to the ornamental members sealed inside the container. The purpose is to

Another object of this invention is to obtain a toy that can be placed on a bookshelf, desk, table, etc. when not in use, and can also be used as an ornamental ornament.

This device fills a transparent container with two types of liquids that have different specific gravities and do not mix with each other, forming a two-layer liquid layer inside the container, and forming an upper layer inside the container. An ornamental floating body made of a material having a specific gravity heavier than the liquid forming the lower layer and lighter in specific gravity than the liquid forming the lower layer, and the floating body is provided with a magnetic needle and the ornamental floating body is enclosed in a transparent container. It is a toy.

Effect: When the transparent container formed in this way is gently rocked, the liquid inside the container will sway within the container, and the ornamental floating objects floating on the upper surface of the liquid in the lower layer will not be submerged in the liquid. It sways on the top of the liquid and makes interesting movements. Furthermore, when the container stops swinging and is made to stand still, the ornamental floating object inside the container moves for a while, but then stops with a point pointing north.

Example An example of this invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.
In Fig. 1, two types of liquids, for example, water 2 and transparent liquid paraffin 3, which have different specific gravities and do not mix with each other, are placed in a bottle 1 made of transparent glass.
and also add, for example, blue dye to the underlying water to enhance the color effect. The two types of liquids filled in the transparent bottle 1 form a lower layer of water 2 on the bottom of the bottle 1, and an upper layer of transparent liquid paraffin 3 above it.

The ornamental floating body enclosed in the bottle body 1 may have various shapes, but the ornamental floating body 4 of the embodiment is a floating body shaped like a sailboat. The floating body 4 has a hull 5 made of a material that is lighter than water and heavier than liquid paraffin, such as small pieces of styrofoam or cork, and this hull 5 has a magnetic needle 6 built into its body. It is. Thin plastic sheets 7 and 8 are attached to the upper surface of this hull 5. These plastic sheets 7 and 8 have pictures 7 of sailing ship masts, sails, ropes, etc.
It is made by drawing a and 8a. The ornamental floating body has a structure in which a float 9 made of a styrofoam plate or cork is provided on the upper edge of the plastic sheet 7.

When the ornamental floating body formed as described above is inserted into the bottle 1, the floating body 4 is submerged in the upper layer made of liquid paraffin 3, but after floating on the surface 2a of the lower layer made of water 2, This is a toy in which an ornamental floating body is enclosed in a transparent container, characterized in that the mouth 1a of the bottle body 1 is sealed with glass beads 10 and a sealant 11.

In the figure, 5a is the bow, 5b is the stern, 12 is red,
They are glass beads with colors such as blue and green. In addition, the transparent container is preferably a cylindrical glass bottle, and the water sealed in the bottle is preferably distilled water with added salt.Furthermore, the two liquids filled in the bottle with different specific gravities are always The material used is one that is separated into upper and lower parts and does not mix. Furthermore, the ornamental floating body may have any shape as long as it is made of a material with a specific gravity lighter than water.

Effects Since this invention has the above-mentioned configuration, the water 2 filled in the transparent bottle container 1 is placed below the bottle container 1, and the transparent liquid paraffin 3 has a specific gravity smaller than that of water. floating on the top surface of the water without mixing.
It is always separated and located above the water. When a blue dye is added, the dye dissolves in the water and the layer of water 2 takes on the color of seawater or lake water.
Furthermore, when a floating body 4 imitating a sailing boat, which is an ornamental floating body, is inserted into the bottle container, the sailing boat will be placed on the upper surface 2a of the water 2.
However, since it is heavier than the liquid paraffin 3, it is wrapped in three layers of liquid paraffin.Furthermore, a float 9 is provided on the upper edge of the plastic sheet 7, making it stable and making it look like a sailboat floating on the sea surface. becomes.

Pinch the stopper made of glass beads that seals the mouth of the bottle thus formed, tilt the bottle as shown in Figure 3, and gently loosen the bottle in the direction of arrow A or arrow B. When shaken, the liquids 2 and 3 in the bottle container 1
As the water sways within the bottle, the layer of blue water moves like waves, swaying like a sailing ship floating in the rough seas. Even when the bottle container is shaken in this way, the floating body 4 always floats on the water surface without overturning because the float 9 is provided on the upper edge.

In addition, in this invention, if the bottle containing the ornamental floating object is cylindrical, the liquid paraffin filled in the container creates a lens effect, making it possible to clearly see the movement of the floating object. Furthermore, when this toy is placed on a desk or the like, the blue color of the pigment in the water passes through the liquid paraffin layer and is reflected on the top surface of the liquid paraffin layer, making the top surface of the liquid paraffin look like a blue sky, which works well with the ornamental floating object. It can enhance the aesthetic effect. Furthermore, the aesthetic effect can be further enhanced by placing small glass beads in colors such as red, blue, and green in addition to the ornamental floating bodies in the bottle container.

In addition, by arranging the magnetic needle 6 built into the hull 5 of the ornamental floating body 4 so that the bow 5a points north, when the ornamental floating body attempts to stand still, the bottle container can be moved. The ornamental floating object gradually turns its bow toward the north, and the bow always points north and stands still, making it convenient to know the direction.

Although the embodiments of this invention have been described above with reference to the attached drawings, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments only, and may be implemented by making partial changes and additions within the scope of the gist of the invention. can do.
