In the present invention, when the elastic movable part 225 is pressed downward with a bent portion 227, the curved portion 227 is further bent and the curvature is increased, and the one end (a1) and the other end (a2) of the bent portion 227 distance is getting closer When the bending portion 227 is bent and elastically deformed, a restoring force is generated.

Specifically, the first curved portion 227a has a convex curvature in the downward direction. When the central portion 228 is pressed downward and moves, the first curved portion 227a is further bent and the curvature is increased, and the distance between one end and the other end of the first curved portion 227a becomes closer. The second curved portion 227b has a curvature convex in the downward direction. When the central portion 228 is pressed downward and moves, the second curved portion 227b is further bent and the curvature is increased, and the distance between one end and the other end of the second curved portion 227b becomes closer.

Accordingly, there is an effect that the design of the elastic force strength of the elastic movable part 225 of the designer becomes easier. In addition, since the greatest bending moment acts on the horizontal plate 228a, rigidity is sufficiently secured against this, which is advantageous in improving the durability of the elastic movable part 225 .

It is preferable that the elastic movable part 225 is provided such that the depth of the bent portion d2 is greater than the stroke length d1. Through this, under the condition that the stroke length d1 is the same, the elastic deformation of the elastic movable part 225 may be concentrated on the bent part 227 . The bent portion depth d2 may be formed to be about 1.5 times the stroke length d1. For example, the stroke length d1 may be preset to about 0.5 mm, and the bent portion depth d2 may be preset to about 0.75 mm.

With reference to FIGS. 48 to 55 , the structure and functions of the main body 2A will be described in detail as follows.

The upper rim E1 , the lower rim E2 , the container lower rim E3 , and the container upper rim E4 to be described later may be formed to extend along the periphery of a predetermined figure. The predetermined figure means a virtual planar figure disposed on a plane perpendicular to the central axis (X). The predetermined figure may be various figures such as a circle, an ellipse, a polygon, and a polygon in which vertices are chamfered. The predetermined figure may be an irregular figure. Preferably, the predetermined figure may be a circle, an ellipse, or a polygon in which vertices are chamfered. The predetermined figure is preferably a circle, an ellipse, or a polygon in which vertices are chamfered as a whole even if there are some curved parts or protrusions around it. Hereinafter, 'first', 'second', 'third' and 'fourth' in the use of the terms 'first predetermined figure, second predetermined figure, third predetermined figure, and fourth predetermined figure' refer to This is only a mark to avoid confusion of objects, and has nothing to do with the order or importance between each predetermined figure.

With reference to FIGS. 48 and 49, assuming a first predetermined figure disposed perpendicular to the central axis X, the main body 2A has an upper edge E1 extending along the circumference of the first predetermined figure. include Referring to FIG. 48 , the upper edge E1 may be disposed on the virtual plane H1 .

The first predetermined figure may be a circle having a predetermined diameter r1. Assuming a circle of a predetermined diameter r1 disposed perpendicular to the central axis X, the main body 2A includes an upper rim E1 extending along the perimeter of the imaginary circle of the predetermined diameter r1 do. Referring to FIG. 48 , the upper edge E1 may be disposed on the virtual plane H1 .

The upper edge E1 may be connected in a circular shape, or may be formed in a circular arc. As an example in which the upper rim E1 is formed of a circular arc, when a groove or protrusion is formed in the main body 2A on the periphery of the imaginary circle of the diameter r1, the groove or protrusion is included in the upper rim E1 It is not a part and the upper edge (E1) is in the form of a circular arc. Even when the upper rim E1 is in the form of an arc, the upper rim E1 has a circular shape as a whole.

The side of the main body 2A in the axial outward direction (XO) is formed to enter the axially inward direction (XI) from any one of the upper rim E1 and the lower rim E2 to be described later. The side surface of the main body 2A is formed at a position closer to the central axis X than any one of the upper edge E1 and the lower edge E2 to be described later. Hereinafter, the side surface of the main body 2A in this embodiment will be described as being formed at a position closer to the central axis X than the upper edge E1, but it is not necessarily limited thereto. A description of the embodiment in which the side surface of the main body 2A is formed at a position closer to the central axis X than the lower edge E2 will be omitted because it is obvious from the description of the present embodiment.

The side of the main body 2A in the axial outward direction (XO) may be formed to enter the axially inward direction (XI) rather than the upper edge (E1). The side surface of the main body 2A may be formed at a position closer to the central axis X than the upper edge. If the main body 2A approaches the external horizontal plane G vertically (meaning that the horizontal plane G and the central axis X are parallel), the upper edge E1 of the main body 2A is first It comes into contact with the external horizontal plane (G).

Referring to FIG. 50 , when the upper rim E1 is in contact with the external horizontal plane G in a state in which the main body 2A is separated from the container 2B, the main body 2A becomes the main body 2A. ) may be inclined in the direction (T1 direction) of the lower surface 278 . This is because the upper edge E1 of the main body 2A is supported by the horizontal plane G while the lower edge E2 of the main body 2A is not supported by the horizontal plane G. As shown in FIG.

Through this, in the case of manufacturing the main body 2A to have the overall circular edges E1 and E2, when the main body 2A falls on the ground or the main body 2A rolls along the ground, The main body 2A may be induced to overturn in the T1 direction (in the direction of the lower surface 278 of the main body 2A) within a short time. While minimizing the risk of loss of the main body 2A, it is possible to reduce the inconvenience of excessive movement of the user to catch the main body 2A that has rolled far.

Assuming a second predetermined figure disposed perpendicular to the central axis X, the main body 2A includes a lower edge E21 extending along the periphery of the second predetermined figure. Referring to FIG. 48 , the lower edge E2 may be disposed on the virtual plane H2 .

The second predetermined figure may be a circle having a predetermined diameter r2. Assuming a circle of a predetermined diameter r2 disposed perpendicular to the central axis X, the main body 2A includes a lower edge E2 extending along the perimeter of the imaginary circle of the predetermined diameter r2 can do. The diameter r2 is different from the diameter r1. The diameter r2 may be shorter than the diameter r1.

Referring to FIG. 48 , the lower edge E2 may include at least one of the upper edge E1 and the side surfaces of the main body 2A and a set of points that contact the horizontal plane G at the same time. (FIG. 48 shows the lower edge E2 that touches the horizontal plane G at the same time as the side surface of the main body 2A, and FIG. 51 shows the upper edge E1 and the side of the main body 2A simultaneously with the horizontal plane G) In particular, when the boundary of the lower surface 278 of the main body 2A has a curvature as shown in FIG. 48 as shown in FIG. 48, the lower edge E2 can be defined as described above. can

Referring to FIG. 48 , one point q of the side surface of the main body 2A and the lower edge E2 are in contact with the horizontal plane G at the same time. Referring to FIG. 48 , the lower edge E2 may be disposed on the virtual plane H2 .

The lower edge E2 may be connected in a circle or may be formed in an arc. As an example in which the lower rim E2 is formed of a circular arc, when a groove or protrusion is formed in the main body 2A on the periphery of the virtual circle of the diameter r2, the groove or protrusion is included in the lower rim E2 It is a part that is not formed, and the lower edge E2 is in the form of an arc. Even when the lower edge E2 is in the form of an arc, the lower edge E2 has a circular shape as a whole.

51 and 53 , when the main body 2A rolls in the horizontal plane G and rolls over in the direction T1 of the lower surface 278 , the lower edge E2 comes into contact with the horizontal plane G. In this case, due to the inclined main body 2A, the center of gravity of the main body 2A is more biased toward the lower surface 278 direction T1, and the diameter r2 is smaller than the diameter r1, The main body 2A is rolled while turning in the direction T1 of the lower side 278 . After that, the main body 2A turns and rolls while only the lower edge E2 is in contact with the horizontal surface G, and when the lower surface 278 is completely tilted to the extent that it touches the horizontal surface G, the main body 2A will stop the cloud motion.

53 is a conceptual diagram illustrating an imaginary track left by the upper rim E1 and the lower rim E2 on the horizontal plane while the main body 2A rolls over the horizontal plane. In Fig. 53, the track l1 left by the upper edge E1 and the track l2 or l3 left by the lower edge E2 are shown. From the point p1 to the point p2, the upper edge E1 is in contact with the horizontal plane G, and the main body 2A rolls straight ahead or slightly turning. The main body 2A is inclined in the direction T1 of the lower surface 278 and the lower edge E2 comes into contact with the horizontal surface G from the point p3. Thereafter, the upper rim E1 is separated from the horizontal plane G, and the main body 2A rotates while the lower rim E2 is in contact with the horizontal plane G. The track 12 shows a case where the degree of turning is relatively small, and the track 13 shows a case where the degree of turning is large in state. The degree of turning may be increased as the main body 2A rotates and moves. Through the turning operation, the main body 2A can move from the first moving direction to the returning direction. After that, when the main body 2A is completely overturned and the lower side 278 touches the horizontal plane G, the main body 2A stops moving. When the main body 2A rolls on the horizontal plane G, through induction of overturning, induction of turning, and induction of stopping motion, the main body 2A is prevented from rolling far.

The side surface of the main body 2A may include an inclined surface that approaches the central axis X toward the lower side. The side surface of the main body 2A may include a plurality of inclined surfaces that become closer to the central axis X toward the lower side, and in this case, the inclinations of the plurality of inclined surfaces may be different from each other. In addition, the inclined surface of the side surface of the main body 2A may have a shape in which the inclination gradually changes toward the lower side. A groove or a hole may be formed in the inclined surface of the side surface of the main body 2A.

The height h of the main body 2A may be smaller than the diameter r2. In a state in which at least one of the side surfaces of the upper rim E1 and the main body 2A and the lower rim E2 simultaneously touch the horizontal plane G, the height h of the main body 2A decreases as the height (h) decreases. Lateral erection becomes more unstable. Due to this, the complete overturn of the main body 2A (the state in which the lower surface 278 is in contact with the horizontal surface G) can be generated more smoothly and quickly.

The main body 2A includes a lower edge 279 formed by being connected to the lower side of the lower edge E2. The lower edge 279 is chamfered. The lower edge 279 is roundly chamfered. An upper end of the lower edge 279 is connected to the lower edge E2 , and a lower end of the lower edge 279 is connected to the lower surface 278 . The lower edge 279 forms a surface closer to the central axis X than the lower edge E2. The lower edge 279 may surface above the lower side 278 .

Referring to FIG. 53 , even after the lower edge E2 touches the horizontal plane during the rollover operation of the main body 2A, the main body 2A is further inclined in the direction T1 of the lower surface 278 . At this time, the lower edge 279 is gently connected to and in contact with the horizontal surface G, and then the lower surface 278 is also smoothly connected and in contact with the horizontal surface G. Through this, it is possible to reduce the impact applied to the lower surface 278 when the main body (2A) overturns. That is, when the main body 2A is overturned, the impact applied to the main body 2A is reduced, thereby reducing the probability of device failure or damage.

Further, the lower edge 279 forms a surface that is gradually closer to the central axis (X) toward the lower side. In the process of overturning the main body 2A, it gradually inclines in the direction T1 of the lower side 278, and at this time, the contact point of the lower edge 279 in contact with the horizontal plane G gradually increases the central axis of the main body 2A ( X), and serves to turn the main body 2A more and more rapidly. Through this, there is an effect that can minimize the movement distance according to the turning operation of the main body (2A).

48 and 52 , the battery 2541 may be disposed on the lower side of the main body 2A. The case constituting the exterior of the main body 2A may be made of a material having a relatively small specific gravity, such as synthetic resin. Specifically, the switch panel 210 , the switch movable part 220 , the side case 230 , and the lower case 270 are made of a material having a small specific gravity, such as synthetic resin. In addition, in the inner space of the main body 2A, parts other than the portion in which the battery 2541 is located are filled with relatively low density. On the other hand, the battery is arranged in a high density and made of a metallic material, so that the specific gravity can be relatively large. By disposing the battery 2541 on the lower side of the main body 2A, the main body 2A may be provided such that the center of gravity M of the main body 2A is at the lower side.

The battery 2541 may be disposed below an imaginary plane Hm dividing the height h of the main body 2A in half. The battery 2541 may be formed in a cylindrical shape as a whole. The height of the battery 2541 is preferably less than half the height h of the main body 2A.

52 , if the center of gravity M of the main body 2A is at the lower side of the main body 2A, the lower side 278 of the main body 2A when the main body 2A rolls along the horizontal plane G ) direction (T1) can cause the overturn to occur more quickly. Referring to FIG. 53, if the center of gravity M of the main body 2A is below the main body 2A, the degree of turning of the main body 2A increases, so that the relatively sharply turning track 13 is appears, which is advantageous for a faster stopping operation of the main body 2A.

Referring to FIG. 54 , the battery 2541 may be disposed at an eccentric position when viewed from the lower side of the main body 2A. The eccentric position of the battery 2541 means that the vertical axis Mb passing through the center of gravity of the battery 2541 is spaced apart by a predetermined distance from the central axis X of the main body 2A in the predetermined direction ec. . When the battery 2541 having a relatively large specific gravity is eccentrically located, the center of gravity M of the main body is eccentric in the direction ec in which the battery 2541 is eccentric. The center of gravity (M) of the main body (2A) is intentionally spaced apart from the central axis (X).

The battery 2541 has a circular shape smaller than the diameters r1 and r2 when viewed from the bottom. The battery 2541 having a relatively small diameter may be disposed to contact the inner surface of the side member 231 in the eccentric direction ec. In this case, in a direction opposite to the eccentric direction ec, the side surface of the battery 2541 and the inner surface of the side member 231 are spaced apart from each other. The diameter of the battery is preferably within 0.8 times the diameter (r2).

The battery guide rib 272 fixes the battery 2541 so that the battery 2541 is disposed at an eccentric position.

Referring to FIG. 55, when the main body 2A (or the combination of the main body 2A and the container 2B) rolls along the horizontal plane G, the eccentric center of gravity M becomes relatively high in the horizontal plane. When this occurs, the torque acts on the main body 2A in the direction T2 in which the center of gravity M is lowered. Figure 55 (a) shows that the center of gravity (M) is located on the right side of the main body (2A) and torque acts on the main body (2A) in the right direction (T2), and Figure 55 (b) is the center of gravity (M) is located on the left side of the main body 2A shows that the torque acts on the main body 2A in the left direction (T3).

Accordingly, when the kinetic energy of the rolling motion of the main body 2A is less than a predetermined value, all of the kinetic energy is converted into the potential energy of the center of gravity M, and the main body 2A cannot go far any longer. . The predetermined value of the kinetic energy means the minimum kinetic energy in which the direction of motion can be maintained even when the center of gravity M is maximized. Through this, when the main body 2A rolls, it is possible to prevent the main body 2A from moving far. In addition, due to the eccentric position of the center of gravity (M), the overturning operation of the main body (2A) while rolling is made more smoothly. This is because when the torque acts in the direction opposite to the movement direction and the movement speed is reduced, the centrifugal force (centrifugal force in the direction opposite to the direction in which the main body 2A is inclined) is reduced, which is more advantageous for the overturning operation.

56 to 57 , assuming a third predetermined shape disposed perpendicular to the central axis X, the container 2B includes a lower container edge E3 extending along the periphery of the third predetermined shape do. Referring to FIG. 56 , the lower edge of the container E3 may be disposed on a virtual plane H3 .

Referring to FIG. 56 , the lower edge of the container E3 may be disposed on a virtual plane H3 .

The lower edge of the container E3 may be connected in a circle or may be formed in an arc. As an example of the container lower rim E3 being a circular arc, when a groove or protrusion is formed in the container 2B on the periphery of the imaginary circle of the diameter r3, the groove or protrusion is on the container lower rim E3. It is a part that is not included and the lower edge of the container E3 is in the form of an arc. Even when the container lower rim E3 has a circular arc shape, the container lower rim E3 has a circular shape as a whole.

A description of the embodiment in which the side surface of the container 2B is formed at a position closer to the central axis X than the upper edge of the container E4 will be omitted because it is obvious from the description of the present embodiment.

The axial outward direction XO side surface (outward facing surface, 291 ) of the container 2B may be formed to enter the axially inward direction XI rather than the container lower edge E3 . The side surface (outward surface) 291 of the container 2B in the axial outward direction XO may be formed at a position closer to the central axis X than the lower edge of the container E3 . If the container 2B is approached vertically to the external horizontal plane G (meaning that the horizontal plane G and the central axis X are parallel), the lower edge E3 of the container among the containers 2B is first It comes into contact with the external horizontal plane (G).

In a state in which the main body 2A and the container 2B are coupled, one of the upper rim E1 and the container lower rim E3 is formed at a position closer to the central axis X than the other. In the present embodiment, in a state in which the main body 2A and the container 2B are coupled, the upper rim E1 is formed at a position closer to the central axis X than the lower rim E3 of the container.

The diameter r3 is different from the diameter r1. In this embodiment, the diameter r3 is larger than the diameter r1.

In a state in which the main body 2A and the container 2B are vertically coupled, the upper rim E1 and the container lower rim E3 of the main body 2A are simultaneously in contact with the horizontal surface G so that the accessory 2A, 2B) is provided.

58 and 59, when the accessories 2A and 2B roll in a state in which the upper rim E1 and the container lower rim E3 are in contact with the horizontal plane G, the diameter r1 and the diameter r3 ) are different from each other, so the accessories 2A and 2B turn to one side. Referring to FIG. 58 , the diameter r1 is smaller than the diameter r3 , and the accessories 2A and 2B are rotated in the upper edge E1 direction T4 . In Fig. 59, the track 14 left by the upper edge E1 and the track 15 left by the container lower edge E3 are shown. When the upper rim E1 and the container lower rim E3 contact the points p4 and p5, respectively, and the accessories 2A and 2B roll, they turn in the direction T4 with the smaller diameter rim. will do Through the turning operation, the accessories (2A, 2B) can move from the first moving direction to the returning direction.

Referring to FIG. 56 , the container upper edge E4 may be disposed on the virtual plane H4 .

The diameter r4 is different from the diameter r3. The diameter r4 may be smaller than the diameter r3.

When the container 2B falls on the ground or the container 2B rolls along the ground, the container 2B may be induced to overturn in the direction of the container upper edge E4 within a short time. The principle for this is the same as the principle for the overturning operation function of the main body 2A described above, and the description thereof will be omitted. While minimizing the risk of loss of the container 2B, it is possible to reduce the inconvenience of excessive movement of the user in order to catch the container 2B that has rolled far.

A description of the embodiment in which the side surface of the container 2B is formed at a position closer to the central axis X than the upper edge of the container E4 will be omitted because it is obvious from the description of the present embodiment.

The container upper edge E4 may be formed of a set of points that simultaneously contact the horizontal plane G with at least one of the container lower edge E3 and the side surfaces of the container 2B. (FIG. 56 shows the container lower rim E3 and the container upper rim E4 touching the horizontal plane G at the same time as the side surfaces of the container 2B.)

The height of the container 2B may be smaller than the diameter r4. In a container side upright state in which at least one of the lower container edge E3 and the side surface of the container 2B and the container upper edge E4 simultaneously contact the horizontal plane G, the smaller the height of the container 2B, the smaller the container side surface The standing state becomes more unstable. Due to this, it is possible to make the complete overturn of the container 2B occur more smoothly and quickly.

With reference to FIGS. 60 to 63 , an apparatus for manufacturing the accessory 2 and a method of manufacturing the accessory 2 will be described as follows.

As described above, the container 2B has a main body coupling portion on the upper side to which the main body 2A is detachably coupled, and the exposed portion 201 exposed in a state coupled to the main body 2A and the container 2B. ), and the exposed portion 201 is formed on the upper side of the main body 2A. The main body 2A includes a side member 231 forming a side surface of the exposed portion 201 , and the edge of the upper end of the side member 231 in the axial outward direction XO is the upper edge of the main body 2A. (E1) is formed.

In the accessory 2 having such a shape, in order for the user to attach and detach the main body 2A to the container 2B, the user uses the side that corresponds to the exposed portion 201 of the main body 2A by hand. The member 231 is held. In this case, the upper edge E1 is in contact with the user's hand. In particular, the user applies force to the hand in the process of attaching and detaching the main body 2A to the container to hold the side member 231 , and the upper edge E1 applies pressure to the user's hand.

The upper edge (E1) forms a corner with a curvature, so that the pressure applied by the upper edge (E1) to the user's hand can be distributed, and the user's main body 2A grip (feeling when gripping) is improved. can

In addition, as described above, the main body 2A includes a side member 231 that forms an outer appearance around the central axis (X). The side surface of the side member 231 forms an inclined surface that is further away from the central axis (X) toward the upper direction. The edge of the upper end of the side member 231 in the axial outward direction XO forms the upper edge E1 of the main body 2A.

In this case, on an imaginary vertical cross-section including the central axis X, the upper edge E1 may form a corner having an acute angle. Accordingly, when the user holds the main body 2A by hand, the pressure applied by the upper rim E1 to the user's hand can be more concentrated, so that the upper rim E1 forms a corner with a curvature desirable.

An edge of the upper end of the side member in the axial inward direction XI may form an inner edge, and the inner edge may form an angled edge. Since the inner rim is a part that is out of reach of the user, it is irrelevant to the user's grip on the main body 2A.

Meanwhile, the upper surface of the inner edge substantially coincides with the upper surface of the edge of the adjacent switch panel 210 , and the edge-side end of the switch panel 210 contacts the inner surface of the side member 231 . The inner edge may be formed as an angled corner, so that the upper surface connected to the upper end of the side member 231 from the switch panel 210 may extend smoothly.

In addition, when the dome-shaped switch panel 210 is pressed from the upper side to the lower side, the inner wall of the upper end of the side member 231 prevents the elastic deformation of the switch panel 210 from expanding toward the edge. The inner edge is formed as an angled corner, so that the edge-side end of the switch panel 210 can be more stably seated on the inner wall of the upper end of the side member 231 .

On the other hand, the main body (2A) is formed of a material capable of injection molding. The side case 230 is formed of a material capable of injection molding. The side member 231 is formed of a material capable of injection molding. As a material that can be injection molded, a synthetic resin is exemplified.

Parting lines leave marks during the injection molding process. In particular, when the parting line is formed at the corner, the corner of the injection-molded product is formed at an angle.

For example, in the injection molding machine 310a of FIG. 60(a), two injection molding parts 311a and 312a form a parting line PLa on the upper edge E1, and in this case, the upper edge E1 is This will form an angled edge.
