Description

Toys and toy sets

The present invention relates to a toy and a toy set, and more particularly to a toy having a figure fixed to a pedestal.

The so-called “Ohajiki” is known as a toy that plays on the desk or the floor. Ohajiki is a game that progresses by hitting your ball (piece) against the opponent's piece and playing it away. In recent years, highly interesting toys that replace Ohaji have also been provided, and for example, toys in which a figure is fixed to a base are gaining popularity.

In patent document 1, while fixing a figure (doll) to a base (toy main body), the hemispherical convex part is formed in the bottom part of a base, and the toy (playing toy) like a rising spill is provided.
According to the toy of Patent Document 1, the playing toy is flipped off with a finger, and while the swinging toy is rocked and rotated, it is submerged under the toy main body of another playing toy, and the other playing toy is raised. After that, the toy body of the flipped toy is flipped downward, and the other flipping toys that are lifted up are flipped up and overturned. reference).

In Patent Document 2, a figure (figuration) is fixed to a pedestal, and the figure is provided with an attacking means for overturning the opponent's figure, and depending on the type, the figure is characterized as a short-distance type and a long-distance type. We provide attached toys (game pieces).
According to the toy of Patent Document 2, the game piece is moved with a finger or with an urging means to move the game piece. Thereafter, the opponent's game piece is attacked by the attacking means to cause the game piece to fall, thereby winning and losing and improving the game characteristics (see paragraphs 0020 to 0023, FIG. 1).

Utility Model Registration No. 2598287 Japanese Patent No. 5553871

However, since the toy of Patent Document 1 has the property of getting up and spilling and moves while swinging and rotating, it is difficult to realize a stable high-speed movement, and is not suitable for a play that feels a sense of speed. .
In addition, the toy of Patent Document 1 has a property of rising and spilling. Therefore, unless the toy is basically on a hard and flat desk or floor, the toy cannot be rotated or flipped, and a playground is not provided. Limited to hard and flat surfaces. For example, on a soft and frictional surface such as a carpet, the toy of Patent Document 1 sinks due to its own weight and cannot exhibit its original function.

On the other hand, in the toy of Patent Document 2, a notch is formed in the side portion of the pedestal and a non-grounding portion is provided in the rear portion of the pedestal, so that it is easy to fall down when the game piece is attacked by the opponent. (See paragraphs 0045-0046, FIG. 5.) For this reason, it is difficult for the toy of Patent Document 2 to be stably moved at a high speed similarly to the toy of Patent Document 1, and the toy of Patent Document 2 is primarily used for bargaining with the opponent's game piece. We do not expect to feel a sense of speed.
Further, since the toy of Patent Document 2 has a structure that easily falls on the pedestal as described above, like the toy of Patent Document 1, the playground is limited to a hard and flat surface, such as a soft carpet. On the surface with much friction, the original function of the toy cannot be exhibited.

Therefore, a main object of the present invention is to provide a toy or a toy set that can be stably moved at a high speed.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a toy or a toy set that can be played by playing even on a soft and frictional surface.

In order to solve the above problems, according to the first aspect of the present invention,
In a toy with a figure and a pedestal that supports it,
The pedestal is
An installed part in which the figure is installed;
A sheet portion that is lighter than the installed portion and has a large area when viewed in plan,
The toy is characterized in that the installation part is arranged on the front side in the movement direction of the toy, and the seat part is arranged on the rear side in the movement direction of the toy.

According to a second aspect of the invention,
The toy;
In a toy set comprising a launching device for firing the toy,
The launcher is
A roller in contact with the seat portion of the pedestal;
A rack belt for applying a rotational force to the roller;
A gear for transmitting rotational force from the rack belt to the roller;
There is provided a toy set characterized by comprising:

According to the present invention, when the pedestal has a seat part that is lighter and wider than the part to be installed, the part to be installed is the front side and the seat part is arranged on the rear side, and the toy is moved from the rear to the front The toy can be stably moved at a high speed because the seat portion follows the figure and the installation portion and stabilizes the movement in a state where the center of gravity of the toy is placed on the front side of the pedestal.
Further, according to the present invention, since the pedestal has a seat portion having a larger area than the installation portion, the ground contact area between the pedestal and the ground contact surface increases, and it is possible to play by playing even on a soft and highly frictional surface. it can.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
The characters “front” and “rear” in the drawings indicate the front side (or front side) and rear side (or rear side) of the movement direction of the toy (2), and the characters “left”, “right”, “upper”, and “lower” Indicates a position or direction based on the moving direction.

As shown in FIG. 1, the toy set 1 is mainly composed of a toy 2 and a launching device 3.
The toy 2 has a figure 10 and a pedestal 20 that supports the figure 10, and the figure 10 is fixed to a predetermined position of the pedestal 20.
The figure 10 is made of synthetic resin or synthetic rubber.
The pedestal 20 is also formed of a synthetic resin or the like, and is preferably formed of a resin such as polypropylene or polyethylene. The pedestal 20 may be formed of a material that can stably support the figure 10, and may be formed of paper such as cardboard.

As shown in FIG. 2A, the figure 10 is detachable from the pedestal 20.
Specifically, concave portions 12 are formed on the left and right leg portions of the figure 10.
The pedestal 20 has an installation part 22 where the figure 10 is installed, and a sheet part 24 having a sheet shape.
The installed portion 22 is disposed on the front side of the pedestal 20 and has a V-shaped shape in plan view and has a slightly thicker property. Two protrusions 26 are formed on the installation portion 22. The figure 10 can be detachably fixed to the pedestal 20 by fitting the concave portion 12 of the figure 10 and the protrusion 26 of the portion 22 to be installed.
The seat portion 24 is disposed on the rear side of the pedestal 20, and has a pentagonal shape and a thin property in plan view.

As shown in FIG. 2B, ribs 25 (elongated convex portions) are formed on the bottom surface of the installation portion 22 along the front-rear direction. The rib 25 is formed integrally with the portion to be installed 22.
The ribs 25 may be formed separately from the installation portion 22.
The ribs 25 may be formed on the bottom surface of the seat portion 24, or may be formed on the bottom surfaces of both the installed portion 22 and the seat portion 24 from the bottom surface of the installed portion 22 to the bottom surface of the seat portion 24. Also in such a case, the rib 25 may be formed integrally with the seat portion 24 or the installation portion 22 or may be formed separately.
The rib 25 is an example of a guide that stabilizes its straightness while guiding the moving direction of the toy 2. Instead of the rib 25, a recess along the front-rear direction may be formed.

When comparing the seat part 24 and the installation part 22, the sheet part 24 has a larger area than the installation part 22 and a thickness smaller than that of the installation part 22 in plan view. The seat portion 24 is lighter in weight than the installation portion 22, and the installation portion 22 is heavier than the seat portion 24.
The seat portion 24 has a function like a so-called horizontal stabilizer (fin), and improves the straight running stability of the toy 2 by the ribs 25, and when the toy 2 is blown off, the seat portion 24 swings slightly due to its elasticity. The balance on the ground surface of the toy 2 is maintained, or the posture of the toy 2 in the air is changed.

According to the toy 2, the figure 10 is installed on the installation part 22 of the pedestal 20, and the installation part 22 is heavier than the seat part 24. Therefore, the toy 2 has a heavy front side and a center of gravity on the front side.

The concave portion 12 of the figure 10 may be formed in a portion other than the leg portion (for example, the chest) so that the posture of the figure 10 can be changed.
The shapes of the installed portion 22 and the seat portion 24 of the pedestal 20 may be changed as appropriate, and the seat portion 24 of the pedestal 20 may be extended to the front side, the left side, or the right side with respect to the installed portion 22.

The fixing method of the figure 10 and the base 20 is not limited to the above.
For example, as shown in FIG. 2C, the installation plate 14 is fixed to the figure 10, the recessed portion 30 with the groove 28 is formed in the installation portion 22 of the pedestal 20, and the installation plate 14 is slid and moved to the groove 28. May be detachably fixed to the base 20.
As shown in FIG. 2A or 2C, if the figure 10 is detachable from the pedestal 20, the user can be provided with the pleasure of holding a large number of figures 10 as a collection.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the launching device 3 includes a substrate 40 that is a base of the device, and a rotating plate 50 that rotates with respect to the substrate 40.
A grip 42 is formed on the left side of the substrate 40 so that the user can hold the launcher 3 with his hand or press it against the floor with his hand or feet.
A pair of guides 44 that guide the firing direction of the toy 2 are installed on the front side of the substrate 40. In the toy 2, the pedestal 20 is sandwiched between the substrate 40 and the guide 44 (see FIG. 4), and the firing direction is guided.

As shown in FIG. 4, the front side of the rotating plate 50 is pivotally supported with respect to the substrate 40. A torsion coil spring 52 is installed between the front side of the rotating plate 50 and the substrate 40. The torsion coil spring 52 urges the rotating plate 50 in a direction to separate it from the substrate 40. The rotating plate 50 is rotatable about a rotating shaft 54 while being biased by the torsion coil spring 52.
A compression coil spring 56 is installed between the rear side of the rotating plate 50 and the substrate 40 (see FIG. 3). The compression coil spring 56 also urges the rotating plate 50 in a direction to separate it from the substrate 40. When the rotating plate 50 is rotated toward the substrate 40, the compression coil spring 56 functions as a cushion, and a sudden contact between the rotating plate 50 and the substrate 40 is alleviated.
The torsion coil spring 52 and the compression coil spring 56 are an example of an urging member that urges the rotating plate 50 in a direction in which the rotating plate 50 is pulled away from the substrate 40. Only one of the torsion coil spring 52 and the compression coil spring 56 may be provided and used as an urging member, or the urging member may be constituted by an elastic body other than the spring.

The launching device 3 includes a launching mechanism 60 (see FIG. 5A).
As shown in FIG. 5A, the firing mechanism 60 mainly includes a rack belt 70, gears 80, 82, and 84 (gears), and a roller 90. The rack belt 70 applies a rotational force to the roller 90, and when the rack belt 70 is moved rearward, the roller 90 rotates.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the rack belt 70 is inserted into the rotating plate 50 and used. The rack belt 70 has a rack portion 72 that is cut into teeth (toothed) on a flat bar and a grip portion 74 that is gripped by hand and pulled out from the rotating plate 50.

As shown in FIG. 5A, the rotation plate 50 incorporates

gears

80, 82, and 84 that transmit the rotational force applied from the rack belt 70 to the roller 90. A rack portion 72 of the rack belt 70 is engaged with the gear 80. The gear 84 and the roller 90 are integrally formed. Natural rubber or synthetic rubber is affixed to the surface of the roller 90 so that friction occurs when the roller 90 and the sheet portion 24 of the toy 2 come into contact with each other.
The

gears

80, 82, and 84 (and the roller 90) are rotatably supported (axially supported) with respect to the rotating plate 50. In particular, the gear 80 is pivotally supported with respect to the elongated hole 58 of the rotating plate 50 so as to be movable back and forth.
When the rack belt 70 is pulled rearward from the rotating plate 50, the shaft of the gear 80 moves rearward of the long hole 58, the gear 80 and the gear 82 are engaged, and the force (rotation) generated when the rack belt 70 is pulled out. Force) is transmitted to the roller 90 via the

gears

80, 82 and 84, so that the roller 90 rotates.
On the contrary, when the rack belt 70 is pushed forward with respect to the rotating plate 50, the shaft of the gear 80 moves forward of the long hole 58, the gear 80 and the gear 82 are separated, and the roller 90 does not rotate.

The launch mechanism 60 may have a structure in which the rack belt 70 is directly meshed with the gear 84 as shown in FIG. 5B.

Next, the usage method (play method) of the toy set 1 will be described.

First, as shown in FIG. 4, the pedestal 20 of the toy 2 is slid between the substrate 40 and the guide 44 of the launching device 3, and the sheet portion 24 is disposed below the roller 90 and in a position where it can contact the roller 90. To do. It is necessary to secure a space (length) enough to contact the roller 90 in the sheet portion 24 of the toy 2.
Thereafter, when the rack belt 70 is pulled out from the rotating plate 50 with the gripping portion 42 of the firing device 3 held or pressed against the floor (arrow A in FIGS. 4 and 5), the roller 90 rotates clockwise. (Arrow B in FIG. 5).

Thereafter, when the rotating plate 50 is pushed down against the urging force of the torsion coil spring 54 and the compression coil spring 56 (arrow C in FIG. 4), the rotating roller 90 contacts the sheet portion 24 of the toy 2. Then, the toy 2 can be fired forward from the launching device 3 so as to be flipped off by its rotational force (arrow D in FIG. 4).

In addition, even if the toy 2 is played with a finger, the same operation as that using the launching device 3 can be realized.

According to the above-described embodiment, the pedestal 20 has the seat portion 24 that is lighter and has a larger area than the installation portion 22, and the installation portion 22 is disposed on the front side and the seat portion 24 is disposed on the rear side.
In such a configuration, when the toy 2 is flipped with a finger or fired from the launching device 3 and moved forward from the rear, the seat portion 24 is placed in the state where the center of gravity of the toy 2 is placed on the front side of the base 20. It follows the installation part 22 and stabilizes its movement. Therefore, the toy 2 can be stably moved at a high speed, and unlike the traveling toy with wheels, there are no wheels, so that the toy 2 can be caused to jump into the air.
In addition, the rib 25 is formed on the bottom surface of the installation portion 22 to improve the straight running stability of the toy 2, and the figure 10 and the pedestal 20 are made of resin or the like for weight reduction. And operation can be realized reliably.

From such a configuration, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, it is possible to enjoy a play in which the toy 2 collides with the object 100 and falls down, and as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 8, the object 100 and the jump stand 102 can be installed to allow the toy 2 to perform an acrobatic operation on the object 100.

As shown in FIG. 9, a curved rail 104 and an obstacle 106 that repeatedly opens and closes can be installed, and a play in which the toy 2 moves along the rail 104 and passes through the obstacle 106 can be enjoyed.
As shown in FIG. 10, a jump stand 102 and a tower 110 on which a plurality of toys 108 (toys 2 having different types of figures 10) are placed are installed, and the toy 2 jumps from the jump stand 102 and the toy 108 on the tower 110 is placed. It is also possible to enjoy a game in which a score is added according to the number and type of toys 108 that have been hit.

In particular, since the pedestal 20 has the seat portion 24 having a larger area than the installation portion 22, the ground contact area with the ground contact surface with the pedestal 20 increases, and even on a soft and frictional surface such as a carpet, a toy You can play 2 and play.
Furthermore, when the launching device 3 is used in such a game, a rotational force is applied from the rack belt 70 to the roller 90 and the toy 2 is fired with the rotational force, so that the high-speed movement and operation as described above can be realized more reliably. Can do.
When using the launching device 3, the guide 44 is installed on the front side of the substrate 40, so that the toy 2 can be launched without floating, and the toy 2 is launched by pushing down the rotating plate 50. Because of the configuration, the toy 2 can be fired at the user's timing.

The present invention relates to a toy in which a figure is fixed to a pedestal, and can be particularly preferably used for stable high-speed movement.
