Definitions
- the present invention concerns toys, and in particular it concerns a game or toy for a single player.
- a game is known, usually called clackers, comprising two small balls fixed to the ends of a string configured as an upturned V.
- a grip usually a ring. Since the two lengths of the V-shaped string are identical, the two small balls hang side by side. Holding the grip with the hand and oscillating it quickly from top to bottom and vice versa makes the balls oscillate from an upper position to a lower position and vice versa, noisily swinging together and inverting their motion from time to time.
- the two lengths of the string must be tight, otherwise the two balls do not swing together at the top or at the bottom position and keep moving thus ending the game.
- the balls may hit the player's hands.
- the subject of the present patent is a new toy mainly comprising a grip to which two rigid spacers are hinged, each of said spacers being provided with a small ball at its end opposite the grip. Both ball-spacer pairs rotate freely around the axis of the grip.
- One of the objects of the new toy is to prevent the two balls from swinging together at the top and bottom position or to make them hit each other less violently.
- a further object of the new toy is to reduce the noise emitted.
- Another object of the invention is to allow a piece of cardboard to be applied to and if necessary removed from said spacers.
- the new toy comprises a substantially linear rigid grip to which two spacers are hinged, said spacers being substantially orthogonal to said grip and provided with a small ball at the end opposite the grip.
- Both said spacers rotate around said grip, so that said small balls turn around the grip on the same plane orthogonal to the axis of said grip.
- Each one of said spacers can have any shape, suited to maintain a constant distance between the corresponding ball and the grip.
- Each spacer is provided with stop elements suited to limit the rotation of the spacers and to prevent contact between the two small balls.
- each spacer comes into contact with the stop elements or parts of the other spacer, or with a portion of the other spacer, before the rotation of said spacers causes the small balls to come into contact with each other.
- said stop elements or parts of said spacers can be rigid, so as to produce a louder noise, or said stop elements or parts of said spacers can be relatively soft, in such a way as to dampen the impact between the stop elements or parts and the spacers, and if necessary to allow the two balls to swing together without producing too much noise.
- Said stop elements or parts can be removable, so that they can be applied and removed at the discretion of the player.
- Each spacer is provided with seats or housings suitable for the application or insertion of a cardboard element aligned with the rotation axis of the spacers.
- Figure 1 shows a view of the new toy with aligned spacers (D).
- Figure 2 shows a cross section a-a of the new toy in the position shown in
- Figure 3 shows a cross section of the new toy with the spacers (D) near each other.
- the new toy comprises a substantially linear rigid grip (I) to which two spacers (D, D') are hinged, each one of said spacers being substantially orthogonal to said grip (I) and being provided with a small ball (P, P') at the end opposite the grip (I).
- the spacers (D, D') have a linear shape, but they can have any shape suitable for serving the purpose of maintaining said small balls (P, P') at a constant distance from the grip (I).
- Both said spacers (D, D') rotate around said grip (I) so that said two balls (P, ⁇ ') rotate around the grip (I) on the same plane, orthogonal to the axis of said grip (I).
- Each spacer (D, D') is provided with stop elements (Dl, Dl') suited to limit the rotation of the spacers (D, D") and to prevent any contact between the two balls (P, P').
- Said stop elements (Dl, Dl') of each spacer (D) substantially come into contact with the stop elements (Dl, Dl') of the other spacer (D) before the balls (P, P') make contact with each other following the rotation of said spacers (D, D').
- each spacer (D, D') make contact with specific portions or parts (D2', D2) of the other spacer (D', D).
- Support elements (D3, D3') are provided on each spacer (D, D') for the application or insertion of a cardboard element (C) aligned with the rotation axis of said spacers (D, D').
- Said balls (P, P') may be provided with a lightening hole (PI, ⁇ ) substantially aligned with the corresponding spacer (D, D').
