Toy

Abstract

Provided is a toy which can improve a commercial value thereby to give a user a fresh surprise and an intellectual excitement and which can suppress the number of parts so that it is made into a simple structure thereby to reduce the manufacturing cost and the manufacturing steps. The toy (1) comprises an external member (2) having a hole (10) in its lower portion and constituting a housing spacetherein while keeping a substantially spherical shape, a lower member (3) arranged movably through the hole (10) between the inside and outside of the housing space and arranged, when disposed in thehousing space, to match its lower face to the outer face of the external member (2) thereby to form a substantially spherical shape, a retaining means, a magnetic member arranged in the lower member (3), and an elastic member. When no magnetic force acts between an external magnetic member and the magnetic member, the lower member (3) is held in the housing space by the retaining means against the elastic force of the elastic member, so that the substantially spherical shape is kept. When the magnetic force acts between the external magnetic member and the magnetic member, the retaining meansis released so that the lower member (3) rushes out of the hole (10).

Description

technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to toys, in particular to toys deformed by magnetic force. Background technique

[0002] Conventionally, toys that exert various game effects through magnetic force have been proposed and put into practical use. For example, it includes: an external structure; an internal structure housed inside the external structure; if a magnetic body movably arranged inside the toy moves, the locking device operates in conjunction with the movement of the magnetic body. stop device. When the magnetic body moves by the action of the magnetic force, the locking device also operates, and deforms from the first shape to the second shape. (Refer to Patent Document 1) When the magnetic force does not act on this toy, a plurality of structural members constituting the external structure resist the force of the force applying device, and the first shape such as a spherical shape is maintained by the locking device. On the other hand, in the ...
