Further, a plurality of protruding parts 114, which extends in parallel to the shaft center in the outer circumference of the inner fitting groove 111, is formed in an equal interval in the circumferential direction. The convex-shape 114 is engaged with the guide groove 107 when the inner fitting groove 111 is fitted to the inner side of the outer frame member 100.

(2) Shaft Part Upper Part

In the flange 12 and the cylindrical body 13, a hole 14 is formed at each of the sections facing in the front and back direction across the shaft center of the grounding part 11. Further, in the cylindrical body 13, a projection part 15 is formed at each of the sections facing in the right and left directions across the shaft center of the grounding part 11. The outer surface of the projection parts 15 are flush with the outer circumferential surface of the flange 12.
Further, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, a cylindrical columnar body 16 is stood at the inner side of the cylindrical body 13. The cylindrical columnar body 16 is hollow and opens downwardly. Further, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, a fastener 160 is provided at each of the right and left sections in the lower end of the cylindrical columnar body 16. Each fastener 160 is formed in Z shape. That is, each fastener 160 is provided with a base end part 161 in which one end is connected to the outer circumferential lower end of the cylindrical body 13 and which extends radially outward direction of the cylindrical columnar body 16, a standing part 162 which stands from the other end of the base end part 161, and a top end part 163 which is connected to the upper end of the standing part 162 and extends radially outward. At the top end part 163 of the fastener 160, a screw inserting hole 164 is formed.
Further, the shaft part 10 is provided with a cylindrical shaped pressing member 18. The pressing member 18 is arranged inside the cylindrical body 13 in a manner surrounding the outer circumference of the cylindrical columnar body 16. At the outer circumferential lower end part of the pressing member 18, leg parts 18 c are provided. The leg part 18 c is formed at each of the sections facing in the front and back direction across the shaft center of the grounding part 11. The upward movement of the leg parts 18 c of the pressing member 18 is restricted at the upper edge of the holes 14, and in the normal condition, the upper end of the pressing member 18 is positioned at the same height as the upper end of the cylindrical body 13. Further, on the upper surface of the ceiling part of the pressing member 18, protruding strips (projections) 21, which extend radially at the sections facing in the right and left direction across the shaft center of the grounding part 11, are formed.

(3) Assembly of Shaft Part

The pressing member 18 is fitted from the lower side to the cylindrical body 13 provided with the flange 12. For the convenience of explanation, this assembled body is called as an upper part assembled body. On the other hand, the grounding member 110 is fitted from the upper side to the outer frame member 100. In this case, the fitting grooves 105 of the outer frame member 100 and the notches 113 of the grounding member 110 are faced in the radial direction. Accordingly, the protruding parts 114 of the grounding member 110 are fitted to the guide grooves 107 of the outer frame member 100. For the convenience of explanation, this assembled body is called as a lower part assembled body.
Next, the upper part assembled body and the lower part assembled body come close to each other, and a coil spring 20 is provided between the pressing member 18 of the upper part assembled body and the flange 112 of the grounding member 110 of the lower part assembled body. The top end parts 163 of the fasteners 160 of the cylindrical columnar body 16 are fitted to the fitting grooves 105 of the outer frame member 100. In this state, the flange 12 of the upper part assembled body is screwed by passing the male screws 19 through the screw inserting holes 106 of the outer frame member 100 and the screw inserting holes 164 of the fasteners 160.
With this, the shaft part 10 is assembled (see FIG. 6(A)). In this state, the pressing member 18 and the grounding member 110 are urged in the direction separating from each other by the urging force of the coil spring 20, and the grounding part 11 of the grounding member 110 is projected to the lower side of the outer frame member 100. FIG. 6(A) shows the state in which the body 40, etc. is assembled to the shaft part 10.

2. Regarding Performance Variable Ring 30

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, a flywheel is used as a performance variable ring 30. The performance variable ring 30 has a plate like shape. As shown in FIG. 3, at the bottom surface of the performance variable ring 30, an annular step part 31, which is capable of storing the flange 12 of the shaft part 10 from the lower side, is formed. Further, on the upper surface of the performance variable ring 30, a projection part 32, which stretches out in the upper direction, is formed at each of the sections which are faced each other in the right and left direction across the shaft center of the grounding part 11. In the lower side part of each projection part 32, a recessed part 33, which is capable of storing the projection part 15 of the shaft part 10 from the lower side, is formed. Further, on the upper surface of the performance variable ring 30, a tongue-piece part 34, which extends upward, is formed directly outside each projection part 32. The tongue-piece part 34 is projected higher than the projection part 32. As the performance variable ring 30, substituting the flywheel or integrating with the flywheel, there may be one having a projection part on the outer circumferential surface, so as to easily attack the opponent's spinning top toy 1, or there may be one having a recessed part on the outer circumferential surface, so as to hardly receive the attack from the opponent's spinning top toy 1.

3. Regarding Body 40

As shown in FIG. 2, in the outer peripheral of the body 40, protrusions and recesses 40 a are formed. Further, at the center of the body 40, a circular hole 41 is formed. Further, on the lower surface of the body 40, as shown in FIG. 3, an annular-shaped recessed part 42 which is capable of storing the projection part 32 of the performance variable ring 30 from the lower side is formed. At the lower end of the inner circumferential surface of the inner circumferential wall 43 a which partitions and forms the annular-shaped recess part 42, a flange (engagement part) 44 which overhangs in the inward radial direction is projected at each of the sections which are faced each other in the front-and-back direction across the shaft center of the grounding part 11.
Further, at the middle region in the vertical direction of the inner circumferential surface of the inner circumferential wall 43 a, a protrusion 47 which overhangs in the inward radial direction is projected at each of the sections which are faced each other in the right and left direction across the shaft center of the grounding part 11.
In addition, on the lower end surface of the inner circumferential wall 43 a, a raised part 45 in which protrusions and recesses are continuously formed so as to mesh with the aforementioned protruding strips 21 is formed at each of the sections which are faced each other in the right and left direction across the shaft center of the grounding part 11. Further, at the ceiling wall 43 b which partitions and forms the annular-shaped recess part 42 of the body 40, arcuate slits 46, which are capable of inserting the tongue-piece parts 34 of the performance variable ring 30 from the lower side, are formed. The arcuate slits 46 have a length in which the tongue-piece parts 34 can be sufficiently moved. Further, one end part of the arcuate slits 46 has narrow width, so that the hooks 54 b of the launcher 50, which will be described later, are engaged.

4. Regarding Identification Part 60

As shown in FIG. 2, an identification part 60 is mounted in the circular hole 41. The identification part 60 is used for identifying the spinning top toy 1 or the identification of a player. For the identification, in the present embodiment, not shown in the drawings, a plurality of identification parts in which decorations and/or colors, etc. are different are offered, and one of the identification parts 60 which is selected by the player is mounted in the circular hole 41 by using the projections 47 in a screw manner.

Assembly Method

Next, an example of an assembly method of the spinning top toy 1 will be described. Here, it assumes that the assembly of the shaft part 10 has been already completed. Further, it assumes that the assembly of mounting the identification part 60 to the circular hole 41 has been already completed.
First, the projection parts 15 of the shaft part 10 is fitted to the recessed parts 33 of the performance variable ring 30 from the lower side, and the shaft part 10 and the performance variable ring 30 are assembled to become the fitting state.
Next, the assembled body brings to the position close to the body 40 from the lower side. In this case, the tongue piece parts 34 of the performance variable ring 30 of the aforementioned assembled body are fitted to the predetermined ends of the arcuate slits 46 of the body 40 (see FIG. 8(A)). In this state, it is the state in which the flanges 17 of the shaft part 10 and the flanges 44 of the body 40 are not overlapped in the vertical direction. This state is the disassembled state.
After that, the shaft part 10 of the aforementioned assembled body pushes to the body 40 side. Then, first, the performance variable ring 30 is pushed to the lower surface of the body 40. Further, the coil spring 20 contracts and the flanges 17 of the shaft part 10 are relatively pushed up to the position higher than the flanges 44 of the body 40.
The shaft part 10 is rotated with respect to the body 40 integrated with the performance variable ring 30 until the tongue-piece parts 34 move to the ends opposite side of the aforementioned predetermined ends (see FIG. 8(B)). In this case of the rotation, the body 40 and the performance variable ring 30 and the shaft part 10 are relatively rotated, and in FIG. 8(B), it shows the state in which the body 40 is rotated with respect to the performance variable ring 30. Then, it becomes the state in which the flanges 17 of the shaft part 10 and the flanges 44 of the body 40 are overlapped in the vertical direction. When releasing the shaft part 10, the lower surface of the flanges 17 of the shaft part 10 and the upper surface of the flanges 44 of the body 40 abut each other by the urging force of the coil spring 20. The state in which the lower surface of the flanges 17 of the shaft part 10 and the upper surface of the flanges 44 of the body 40 abut each other is the assembled state. With this, the shaft part 10, the performance variable ring 30 and the body 40 are engaged, and the spinning top toy 1 is assembled.

How to Play

Next, an example of how to play with the spinning top toy 1 will be described. In this example of how to play, by rotating the spinning top toy 1, it performs to fight with the opponent's spinning top toy 1.
In this case, a charge of the rotation force of the spinning top toy 1 is performed by a launcher 50 as shown in FIG. 9. In the inside part, the launcher 50 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 a handle 51, the disk is rotated, and therefore, the spinning top holder 53 is rotated. The rotation of the spinning top holder 53 is transmitted to the spinning top toy 1 by the forks 54 projected downwardly, so that the spinning top toy 1 is rotated.
In this case, the forks 54 are inserted to the arcuate slits 46 of the body 40, and the hooks 54 b are engaged with the lower end of the arcuate slits 46. When the handle 51 of the launcher 50 is pulled to the end, the rotation of the disk and further, the spinning top holder 53 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 the spinning top holder 53 in accordance with the inclined surface 54 a of the forks 54. In FIG. 5, reference numeral 52 denotes a rod capable of being projected from and retracted into the spinning top holder 53. The rod 52 is pressed by the upper surface of the spinning top toy 1 and is retracted into the spinning top holder 53 when the spinning top toy 1 is mounted to the spinning top holder 53. For example, the rod 52 is used to detect whether the spinning top toy 1 is attached or detached.
When the spinning top toy 1 launched in such manner is rotated in a predetermined field and collides with the opponent's spinning top toy 1, by the impact force or friction, etc. due to the collision, in the body 40, the force is applied in the direction opposite to the rotation direction of the shaft part 10 and the performance variable ring 30, and with this, the body 40 is relatively rotated in the direction opposite to the rotation direction of the shaft part 10 and the performance variable ring 30. The protruding strips 21 are meshed with the raised part 45 of the body 40, and the urging force of the coil spring 20 is applied to the protruding strips 21, so that every time the impact force is applied by the collision, the shaft part 10 is relatively rotated with respect to the body 40 and the meshing position is changed. When reaching the lock releasing position, the engagement of the flanges 44 of the body 40 and the flanges 17 of the shaft part 10 is released, and by the urging force of the coil spring 20, the body 40 is separated from the shaft part 10. As shown in the right side of FIG. 1, the spinning top toy 1 is disassembled.

Effect of Shaft Part 10

The coil spring 20 urges in the direction separating the pressing member 18 and the grounding member 110 away from each other. In this case, when an external force is applied to the spinning top toy 1, and the grounding part 11 is operated in the direction to be retracted into the shaft part main body, in other words, when the shaft part body (fixed part of the outer frame member 100, etc.) is retracted, the coil spring 20 is contracted, and the pressure to the meshing between the raised part 45 of the body 40 and the protruding strips 21 is enhanced (see FIG. 7). As a result, the speed of the relative rotation in the direction to disassemble the body 40 and the shaft part 10 slows down, so that it takes longer time to disassemble these parts. As the case in which the grounding part 11 is operated in the direction to be retracted to the shaft part body, immediately after the spinning top toy 1 launched from the launcher 50 is landed, it may be the case in which the body of another spinning top toy is collided from the upper side of the body 30 of the own spinning top toy 1, or the case in which the own spinning top toy 1 tries to climb up the inclined surface of the cone-shaped game board, etc. In these cases, the relative rotation in the direction to disassemble the body 40 and the shaft part 10 can effectively slow down.

Modification Example

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 within the scope that does not depart from the essential point of the present invention.
For example, in the aforementioned embodiments, as the rotational resistance between the shaft part 10 and the body 40, the protruding strips 21 are formed in the shaft part 10 and the raised part 45 is formed in the body 40. However, the protruding part and the recessed part may be formed in a different shape. Further, the number of these parts is not limited to the number described in the aforementioned embodiments. Further, the rotational resistance is not limited to the meshing elements, but it may be a resistance part made of a rubber, etc. formed on the surfaces faced between the shaft part 10 and the body 40. In a word, it may be any structure as long as it becomes a rotational resistance by performing the slide-contact each other. In other words, it is sufficient to be the sliding element. In this case, by applying the impact force, etc. from the outside, the shaft part 10 and the body 40 are gradually and relatively rotated in the direction to be disassembled.

Effect of the Invention

According to the first means, in a state in which the grounding part and the pressing member are energized by one energizing member in the direction separating from each other and the spinning top toy goes down, the grounding part is pushed to move upward with respect to the shaft body by receiving the reaction force. Accordingly, the contact force of the sliding elements each other is enhanced, so that the rotational resistance increases and it hardly performs the relative rotation.
According to the second means, the sliding elements are configured with the meshing elements, so that when the body of the spinning top toy receives the external force from the above, the meshing force between the meshing elements becomes large.
According to the third means, the energizing member is configured with the coil spring, so that the sliding elements can appropriately contact each other.
