Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a floating toy in liquid, and in particular to a floating toy in liquid that can be formed into a simple and compact structure and can also be used as a key holder or the like.

In conventional liquid floating toys, the liquid flow mechanism that promotes the flow of internal liquid is composed of compression operating members such as bellows, rubber balls, and pistons, which are attached to a liquid storage container, resulting in a complicated structure. This also has the disadvantage of becoming an obstacle to compactness. Furthermore, there was also a problem with the liquid-tightness of the device when it was installed, and there was also the risk of liquid leakage, making it impossible to use it for portable use.

This invention was devised to solve the above-mentioned disadvantages, and its gist is: a liquid storage container formed of a transparent member that seals and holds liquid; a liquid flow mechanism disposed in the liquid storage container; In a submersible floating toy consisting of a floating member that floats in a liquid and an engaging member that engages with the floating member, both ends are connected to the liquid storage container through a connecting opening in a partition wall. A liquid flow path is formed, and a fluid having a magnetic material or a magnetically sensitive material incorporated therein is slidably accommodated in the liquid flow path in the length direction of the liquid flow path, and the fluid or the connecting opening is provided with a valve body that regulates liquid flow in one direction, while a pushing body that is driven by magnetic force to move the fluid in the length direction of the flow path is provided outside the liquid storage container. The present invention consists in the provision of a holding body that holds the pushing body movably along the flow path.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the drawings. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a liquid storage container that is made of a transparent member such as synthetic resin or glass and holds liquid in a sealed manner.

A liquid flow mechanism 10 is provided at the bottom of the liquid storage container 1. The liquid flow mechanism 10 includes a liquid flow path 12 whose both ends are connected to the liquid storage container 1 through connection openings 16 and 17 of a partition wall 11, and a liquid flow path 12 within the liquid flow path 12. 12 A fluid 13 disposed slidably in the length direction, and this fluid 13
It consists of a pushing body 14 that is driven by magnetic force from outside the liquid storage container 1, and a holding body 15 that holds this pushing body 14.

The liquid flow path 12 is formed integrally with the liquid storage container 1, and in the illustrated example, the connection opening 1 of the partition wall 11 is formed near the bottom of the liquid storage container 1.
A liquid flow path 12 whose both ends are connected via 6 and 17.
form. This flow path 12 is shown in FIGS.
Even if it has a rectangular parallelepiped shape as shown in the figure, the fourth
As shown in the figure, the rectangular parallelepiped shape may be curved to have an arc shape as a whole, and further, it may be a polygonal column shape, a cylinder shape, etc.

A fluid 13 is disposed within the flow channel 12 and is slidable along its length, that is, between the connecting openings 16 and 17 thereof. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the fluid 13 contains a magnetic material 18 such as a permanent magnet or a magnetically sensitive material made of metal such as iron, and has the same shape as the lower half of the cross-sectional shape of the flow path 12. A valve is formed on the upper part of the valve to minimize the flow in the flow path 12 by being in an upright state when approaching the connecting opening 16 which becomes a liquid jetting port, and by swinging when approaching the connecting opening 17 which becomes a supply inlet. The body 19 is pivoted. That is, the valve body 19A is formed to have the same shape as the upper half of the cross-sectional shape of the flow path 12.
A cylindrical pivot part 19B is formed at the lower edge of the valve body 19A, and the pivot part 19B is engaged with a pivot hole 13A formed in the upper part of the fluid 13 so as to be swingable. There is. Further, regulating surfaces 13B and 13C for regulating the swinging of the valve body 19 are continuous with the pivot hole 13A. Each of these regulating surfaces 13B and 13C is a regulating surface 13 on the side of the connecting opening 16 which becomes a spout.
B is formed to be inclined with respect to the flow direction of the fluid 13, and the regulating surface 13C on the side of the connecting opening 17 serving as the opposing supply port is formed so as to be perpendicular to the flow direction of the fluid 13.

Therefore, when the fluid 13 is slid in the flow path 12, the valve body 19 stands up when it moves toward the jet port, and the valve body 19 swings when it moves toward the supply port. This will maintain the tilted position.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the fluid 13 has a cross-sectional shape slightly smaller than the cross-sectional shape of the flow path 12 due to the magnetic body 18 or magnetic force sensitive material, and is curved with the same curvature as the curvature of the flow path 12. It may also be formed. When this fluid 13 is used, a valve body 19 similar to the valve body 19 described above is pivotally mounted within the flow path 12 near the connection opening 17 which serves as a supply inlet. Therefore, when the fluid 13 reciprocates within the flow path 12, the liquid within the flow path 12 is ejected from the connection opening 16, which serves as a spout.

In addition, an appropriate number of floating members 2 and engaging members 3 with which the floating members 2 are engaged and held are arranged in the liquid storage container 1. The floating member 2 is formed into, for example, a spherical or annular shape so that its specific gravity is slightly higher than that of the liquid (usually water is used) to be accommodated. Further, the engagement member 3 is formed in a dragon shape when the floating member 2 is spherical, and in a columnar shape when the floating member 2 is annular, into which the annular floating member 2 is inserted and held. It is something. Further, in the figure, 20 is a plug for sealing, which is made of a screw with an O-ring. 21 is a mounting hole to which the chain 22A of the key holder 22 is connected.

The partition wall 11 has a connecting opening 16 that becomes a jetting hole.
The surface located inside the storage container 1 is inclined to form an inclined surface 11A so that the floating members 2 gather together, and a stepped portion 11B is formed near the connecting opening 17 which becomes the other water supply port.
It is recessed through. Therefore, the floating member 2, which has once sunk into the recessed portion, will not float again and move freely during the game, forming a so-called out area. A similar configuration of the out area can also be formed with the partition plate 4 shown in FIG. Furthermore, numeral 5 in the figure is a flow regulating plate for making the game more difficult.

A pushing body 14 is provided on the bottom wall of the storage container 1 along which the fluid 13 is slidably guided, and is held by a holder 15 so as to be movable along the flow path 12. A magnetic body 18 or a magnetically sensitive material is disposed on the pushing body 14, and therefore, the fluid 13 is linked to and driven by the pushing body 14 by magnetic force.

The holder 15 is fitted onto the bottom of the liquid storage container 1 as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 and fixed with a mounting screw 6 or the like, or it is a pusher made of a magnetic material as shown in FIG. 4. A disk 2 that holds the moving body 14 on a part of its circumferential surface.
3 may be provided and formed by being pivotally connected between the front and back walls on the outside of the liquid storage container 1.

A guide groove 15A is formed in the holder 15 shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 along the flow path 12, and a part of the pushing body 14 projects from this guide groove 15A to form a pushing projection 14A. .

In use, the push protrusion 14A is inserted into the guide groove 1.
5A with a finger or the like, or the disk 2
3 causes the fluid 13 connected to the pusher 14 by magnetic force to reciprocate within the flow path 12, and the action of the valve body 19 causes the fluid to flow from the connection opening 16, which serves as a spout. It is something that gushes out. Therefore,
The floating member 2 floats within the liquid storage container 1 along with the liquid flow, and plays by engaging the engaging member 3 depending on the strength of the liquid flow.

This invention is constructed as described above, and the liquid storage container 1
A liquid flow path 12 whose both ends are connected to the liquid storage container 1 through connection openings 16 and 17 of the partition wall 11 is formed, and a magnetic material 18 or a magnetic force sensitive material is built in this liquid flow path 12. The fluid 13 is connected to the liquid flow path 1
2 is stored slidably in the length direction, and this fluid 1
3, or a valve body 19 is disposed in the connection openings 16 and 17 to regulate the liquid flow in one direction, and on the other hand, the fluid 13 is connected to the flow path 12 outside the storage container 1.
Since the pushing body 14 is provided to be moved by magnetic force in order to move in the length direction, and the holding body 15 is provided to hold the pushing body 14 so as to be movable along the flow path 13, excellent airtightness is achieved. A compact submersible toy can be provided with a simple configuration.

That is, the connecting opening 1 of the partition wall 11 is connected to the liquid storage container 1.
A liquid flow path 12 whose both ends are connected to the liquid storage container 1 via 6 and 17 is formed, and a fluid 13 in which a magnetic material 18 or a magnetic force sensitive material is built in is formed in the liquid flow path 12. 12 Since it is stored so that it can slide freely in the length direction, there is no need for the conventional configuration of separately providing a compression operating member such as a bellows, rubber bulb, or piston and connecting it to the liquid storage container 1 in a watertight manner. Therefore, the configuration becomes extremely simple. Furthermore, conventional bellows, rubber balls, etc. had drawbacks in terms of durability, watertightness, etc., but according to this invention, the liquid storage container 1 can be formed in one piece, and the compression operation member can be connected. etc. are no longer necessary, and durability and watertightness can be improved. Therefore, it has excellent durability, watertightness, and compactness, so it can be safely used as a key holder.

Furthermore, the fluid 13 or the connecting opening 1
6 and 17 are valve bodies 19 that regulate liquid flow in one direction.
Because of the arrangement, a liquid flow can always be ejected from one of the connecting openings 16 and 17, and efficient liquid flow can be achieved.

In addition, the fluid 13 is formed with a built-in magnetic body 18 or a magnetically sensitive material, and this fluid 13 is driven by magnetic force by the pushing body 14, which also includes the magnetic body 18 or magnetically sensitive material. The piston-like fluid 13 disposed in the flow path 12 can be completely sealed without the need to use a piston rod or the like from the outside, and the structure can be simplified.

In addition, since the liquid storage container 1 is made of a transparent material and seals and retains the liquid, it has a beautiful appearance and provides a refreshing feeling, making it ideal as a keychain toy.

As explained above, this invention has excellent sealing properties for the stored liquid, can be made compact, and has a simple structure, and has practically beneficial effects.
