- The present invention relates to a spinning top toy.
- Conventionally, it is well-known that a spinning top toy for battle games is provided with a body having flanges and raised parts, a pressing member provided with flanges and projections, a spring urging the pressing member upwardly, and a shaft part having a ground part (see e.g., Patent Document 1).
- In this spinning top toy, the body and the shaft part are butted at a position where the flanges of the body and the flanges of the shaft part are not overlapped each other in the vertical direction, and in the state against the urging force of the spring, the body is relatively rotated within a predetermined amount in one direction with respect to the shaft part around the shaft center, so that the upper surface of the flanges of the body and the lower surface of the flanges of the shaft part are overlapped each other in the vertical direction and the body and shaft are engaged, and the raised parts and the projections are abutted in the vertical direction so as to function as a rotation resistance. According to such spinning top toy, against the rotation resistance by colliding with an opponent's spinning top toy, when the body is relatively rotated in the direction opposite to the one direction with respect to the shaft part around the shaft center, the body is separated and disassembled from the shaft part at the position where the flanges of the body and the flanges of the shaft part are not overlapped in the vertical direction.
- Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Publication No. 5793631
- The strength of the spinning top toy is relied on the shape of the outer circumference of the body and the meshing state between the raised parts of the body and the projections of the shaft part.
- However, with such spinning top toy, in the body side, the flanges of the main body, which configures the outer circumference of the body, and the raised parts are integrally formed adjacent to each other.
- Therefore, from the view of the outer circumference of the body, the meshing state between the raised parts of the body and the projections of the shaft part, in order to adjust the strength of the spinning top toy, it was the only way to replace the main body which forms the flanges and the raised parts. Substituting the meshing element (one of the sliding elements) such as the flanges and the raised parts, it is also the same in the case in which other sliding elements such as a rubber, etc. are provided.
- The present invention was created considering the aforementioned conventional status. An object is to provide a spinning top toy capable of independently changing an outer circumference shape of a body and a form of a sliding element.

Further, the pressingmember 18 is urged in the upper direction by thespring 19. By the way, in each of right and left of the upper surface of theupper end part 18 b of the pressingmember 18, a protruding strip (projection) 20, which extends in the radial direction, is formed. - The
flywheel 30 is formed in an annular shape. Theflywheel 30 is an accessory part of theshaft part 10 and without the case in which it is disassembled, when assembled, it is integrated with theshaft part 10, but even when theflywheel 30 is not assembled, it may be used as the spinning top toy 1. At the inner periphery side of the bottom surface of theflywheel 30, anannular step part 30 a, which can store theflange 12 of theshaft part 10 from the lower side, is formed. - A
projection part 31, which projects upwardly, is formed in each of the right and left of the upper surface of theflywheel 30. At the lower side part of eachprojection part 31, a recessedpart 32, which can store theprojection part 16 of theshaft part 10 from the lower side, is formed. Further, on the upper surface of theflywheel 30, a tongue-piece part 33, which extends upwardly, is formed directly outside of each of theprojection part 31. The tongue-piece parts 33 project higher than theprojection parts 31. -
FIG. 4 shows components of the body and shows (A) a plane view of a chip, (B) a plane view of a metal, and a (C) a plane view of a main body. In the drawings, it shows twotype chips type metal 42, and two typemain bodies - The
body 40 of the present embodiment is configured by selecting one in each of the chips and the main bodies among these components and appropriately assembling with the metal. Even when themetal 42 is not assembled, it may be used as the spinning top toy 1. - (1) Main Body 41 (when Referring Both of the
Main Bodies - First, the main body 41 will be described. A common part of the
main bodies main body 41A as an example will be described, and the explanation about themain body 41B is omitted. -
FIG. 5 is an exploded perspective view showing the body when viewed from the upper side.FIG. 6 is an exploded perspective view showing the body when viewed from the lower side. - The
body 41A has a disk-shape as a whole. A plurality ofblades 41 a is formed along the circumferential direction in the outer circumference of themain body 41A. - An
arcuate slit 41 b is formed in each of the right and left of themain body 41A. In eacharcuate slit 41 b, a narrow width part is provided. - An approximately circular shaped
hole 41 c is formed in the central part of themain body 41A. On the lower surface of themain body 41A, at the front and back of thehole 41 c, theprojection part 41 d, which is projected downwardly in an arcuate shape in the cross section, is provided in each of the front and back of thehole 41 c. Aflange 41 e projected inwardly is formed at the inner surface lower end of eachprojection part 41 d. A part of the edge of thehole 41 c between theprojection parts 41 d adjacent to each other is notched. Theprojection parts 43 e of thechip 43A, which will be described later, are arranged in thenotch parts 41 f. - In the outer circumference of the
main body 41A, twoblades small blades 411 positioned between the twoblades blades 410 and the tip end of thesmall blades 411 are formed in a manner of being inscribed to one virtual circle around the shaft center of thebody 40. According to themain body 41A, since the outer circumference of themain body 41A is close to the circle, the impact force giving to the opponent is relatively small when colliding with the opponent's spinning top toy, and the impact force receiving to own spinning top toy 1 is also small at the time. - On the other hand, in the outer circumference of the
main body 41B, a plurality ofsmall blades 412 having various shapes in large and small sizes along the circumferential direction is formed. According to themain body 41B, since the ruggedness of the outer circumference is large and the tip end of thesmall blades 412 in the position of the radial direction is also uneven, the impact force giving to the opponent is relatively large when colliding to the opponent's spinning top toy, and the impact force receiving to own spinning top toy 1 is also large at the time. - The
metal 42 has a shape such that two diamond shapedmetal parts positioning projection 42 b is provided. The hexagonalcolumnar parts positioning projection 42 b become a thick portion. Here, onemetal 42 is shown, but multiple types of the metal may be prepared. As long as it is assembled to the main body 41, the shape is not limited. Themetal 42 is assembled to themain body 42 as shown inFIG. 7 , and it is sandwiched between themain body 42 and thechip 41A. - (3) Chip 43 (when the
Chips - Next, the chip 43 will be described. For the common part of the
chips chip 43 A will be described as an example, and the explanation of thechip 43B will be omitted. - The
chip 43A has a butterfly shape in a plane view. In the middle part, apositioning hole 43 a fitted to thepositioning projection 42 a of theaforementioned metal 42 is formed. Further, in the right and left middle part of thechip 43A, apositioning notches 43 b are formed. Further, a piece to be locked 43 c extending downwardly is formed in each end in the front and back direction of thechip 43A. On the inner surface of each piece to be locked 43 c, a recessedpart 43 d is formed. - Further, on the lower surface of the chip 43, the
projection part 43 e, which is projected downwardly from the edge of theaforementioned positioning hole 43 a in an arcuate shape in the cross section, is provided in each of the right and left. At the lower end of theprojection parts 43 e, a raised part forming a plurality of continuous chevrons is formed. - Comparing two types of the
chips FIGS. 8(A) and 8(B) , a pitch between the chevrons of the raisedpart 43 f is different. In the case in which the pitch between the chevrons is different, a larger pitch creates a large relative rotation amount when receiving an impact at one time. -
FIG. 9 is an exploded perspective view showing the main body. - The fixing
apparatus 44 is provided in themain bodies apparatus 44 will be described by using themain body 41A as an example, and the explanation of the fixingapparatus 44 of themain body 41B will be omitted. - In the
main body 41A, in order to fixing the chip 43 to the main body 41, the fixingapparatus 44 is provided. The fixingapparatus 44 is provided with L-shapedplates 44 a, and apressing plates 44 b mounting the L-shapedplates 44 a to the main body 41 and abutting to the lower surface of the chip 43 by the upper surface so as to restrict the height position of the chip 43. - The L-shaped
plates 44 a are provided with a lockingpart 44 c extending in a horizontal direction, and an operatingpart 44 d extending downwardly in the vertical direction from one end of the lockingpart 44 c. In themain body 41A, recessedparts 41 g in which the lockingpart 44 c of the L-shapedplate 44 a is fitted are formed, and at the one end inside the recessedpart 41 g, holes 41 h in which the operatingpart 44 d is inserted from the top are formed. As a result, the operatingparts 44 d are possible to be operated from the lower side of themain body 41A. Further, in the other end of the inside of the recessedparts 41 g, recessedparts 41 i in which thelocking parts 43 c of the chip 43 are inserted from the top are formed. Thepressing plates 44 b cover the top of the L-shapedplates 44 a. Two cylindrical shapedfitting parts 44 e are provided to eachpressing plate 44 b, and thefitting parts 44 e are fitted to the fitting holes 41 j of the main body 41. In this state, by screwing the screws (not shown), which are inserted from the lower side, to thefitting parts 44 e of thepressing plates 44 b, thepressing plates 44 b are attached to the main body 41. - In the state in which the chip 43 is mounted on the
pressing plates 44 b, it is attached by the fixingapparatus 44. That is, the lockingparts 43 c of the chip 43 are inserted from the top to the recessedparts 41 i of the main body 41, and by inserting the tip of the lockingparts 44 c to the recessedparts 43 d, the chip 43 is attached. - In the case of the present embodiment, when mounting the chip 43, the
pressing plates 44 b abutted on the lower surface of the chip 43 are functioned as a regulating member in the vertical direction distance from theflanges 41 e to the raisedparts 43 f, and the vertical direction distances in themain body 41A and themain body 41B are made different. - That is, the
pressing plates 44 b of themain body 41A abut to the lower surface of the chip 43 with the first vertical direction distance from theflanges 41 e when fixing the chip 43, and on the other hand, thepressing plates 44 b of themain body 41B abut to the lower surface of the chip 43 with the second vertical direction distance, which is smaller distance than the first vertical direction distance from theflanges 41 e when fixing the chip 43. - With this, the following effects can be obtained.
- That is, in the
body 40 on the basis of themain body 41B, as described above, when colliding with the opponent's spinning top toy, the impact giving to the opponent is relatively large, and the impact receiving the own spinning top toy 1 is also large at the time. Therefore, when colliding with the opponent's spinning top toy, thebody 40 is relatively rotated in the direction opposite to the rotation direction of the spinning top toy 1 with respect to theshaft part 10. On the other hand, in thebody 40 on the basis of themain body 41A, as described above, when colliding with the opponent's spinning top toy, the impact giving to the opponent is relatively small, and the impact receiving to the own spinning top toy 1 is also small at the time. Therefore, when colliding to the opponent's spinning top toy, it is hard to relatively rotate thebody 40 in the direction opposite to the rotation direction of the spinning top toy 1 with respect to theshaft part 10. - Under these circumstances, when using the same chip 43 in the same meshing state, the spinning top toy 1 having the
body 40 on the basis of themain body 41 A is harder to be disassembled than the spinning top toy 1 having thebody 40 on the basis of themain body 41B. With such circumstances, it cannot be the fair battle. - Therefore, in the present embodiment, even when using the
same chip 43A, for example, when mounting to themain body 41B, the depth of meshing becomes deep (FIG. 10(A) ), so as to be hardly disassembled, and when mounting themain body 41A, the depth of meshing becomes shallow (seeFIG. 10(B) ), so as to be easily disassembled. It is the same as when using thechip 43B. - Next, a whole assembly method of the spinning top toy 1 will be described.
- The
body 40 and theshaft part 10 are butted from the vertical direction at the position where theflanges 41 e and theflanges 17 are not overlapped in the vertical direction. Theflanges 41 e push the pressingmember 18 downwardly against the urging force of thespring 19. In this state, thebody 40 is relatively rotated around the shaft center with respect to theshaft part 10 by a predetermined amount. Thebody 40 and theshaft part 10 are engaged at the position where the upper surface of theflanges 41 e and the lower surface of theflanges 17 are overlapped in the vertical direction (FIG. 11 ). In this case, theprojections 20 and the raisedparts 43 f are abutted in the vertical direction. - Next, an example of how to play with the spinning top toy 1 will be described.
- First, a charge of the rotation force of the spinning top toy 1 is performed. The charge is performed by a
launcher 60 as shown inFIG. 1 . In the inside part, thelauncher 60 is provided with a disk which is not shown, and the disk is urged in one rotational direction by the power spring which is not shown. When the string, which is not shown, wound around the disk is pulled by ahandle 61, the disk is rotated, and therefore, thespinning top holder 62 is rotated. The rotation of thespinning top holder 62 is transmitted to the spinning top toy 1 by theforks 63 projected downwardly, so that the spinning top toy 1 is rotated. In this case, theforks 63 are inserted to thearcuate slits 41 d of thebody part 40. Theprojections 63 b formed inside theforks 63 are inserted under the narrow part of thearcuate slits 42 b. When thehandle 61 of thelauncher 60 is pulled to the end, the rotation of the disk and further, thespinning top holder 62 is stopped, and on the other hand, the spinning top toy 1 is rotated further by the inertia force, so that the spinning top toy 1 is released from thespinning top holder 62 in accordance with the tilting faces 63 a of theforks 63. - When the spinning top toy 1 launched in such manner collides with the opponent's spinning top toy, by the impact force due to the collision, the meshing position of the raised
parts 41 h on the lower surface of thebody 40 and theprojections 20 is changed in accordance with the relative rotation of theshaft part 10 with respect to thebody 40. When reaching the disassembled position, the engagement of theflanges 41 g of thebody 40 and theflanges 17 of theshaft part 10 are released, and by the urging force of thespring 19, thebody 40 is separated from theshaft part 10. - The embodiments of the present invention were described above, but the present invention is not limited to the aforementioned embodiments, and needless to say, various modifications may be made.
- For example, the aforementioned embodiments, as the meshing elements, the
projections 20 and the raisedparts 43 f are described, but the raised parts may be provided in both, or the projections may be provided in thebody 30 side, and the raised parts may be provided in theshaft part 10 side. Further, other than the meshing elements as a sliding element, other sliding elements, which may be a rotational resistance such as a rubber, etc. instead of theprojections 20 and the raisedparts 43 f, may be provided. - Further, in the aforementioned embodiments, in the
chip 43A and thechip 43B, the pitch between the chevrons of the raisedparts 43 f is changed, but the shape of the chevrons may be changed. - Further, in the aforementioned embodiments, by providing the fixing
apparatus 44, the chip 43 is attached to the main body 41, but if the chip 43 is attached to the main body 41 by, for example, a fitting member, an elastic flange, etc., a special fixing apparatus may not be required. - Since the first flange is provided in the main body forming the outer circumference, and the first sliding element is provided in the chip which is detachable in the main body, the outer circumference shape of the body and the sliding state can be independently changed.
- Even when the same chip is attached, depending on the case in which it is attached to the first main body or the case in which it is attached to the second main body, the sliding state can be changed.
- Even when the projection lengths of the projection parts, which are the first projection part of the first main body and the first projection part of the second main body, are the same, depending on the case in which it is attached to the first main body or the case in which it is attached to the second main body, the sliding state can be changed.
- The outer circumference shape of the body and the meshing state can be independently changed.
