Abstract

Disclosed is a hovercraft toy including: a body, which includes, a fan for sending air in order to allow the body to hover and propel; a motor for rotationally driving the fan; an accumulator battery for supplying electric power to the motor; a base for supporting the fan, the motor and the battery at a top thereof; and a skirt arranged on a peripheral part of a bottom part of the base and formed in a shape of bag to be expandable and contractable, wherein the base includes an input terminal on an under surface thereof, the terminal being connectable to an external power source for charging the battery, and the skirt is formed to have an opening on an under surface thereof so as to allow the input terminal to be exposed downwardly.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a hovercraft toy.[0003]2. Related Art[0004]Heretofore, a vehicle that hovers and propels by using lifting power of an air-cushion sealed between a bottom surface of a body and a solid surface or a liquid surface is referred to as a hovercraft toy or an air-cushion vehicle. A hovercraft toy such as disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open publication No. 2005-73986 is known as a running toy representing the vehicle.[0005]Meanwhile, a stable hovering is needed to achieve smooth running of the hovercraft toy, and a weight saving of the body is needed to achieve the stable hovering. Therefore, lightweight materials such as resin or the like is adopted as a construction material of the body. Moreover, an accumulator battery, not a primary battery such as dry batteries, is adopted as a power source to be mounted on the body, for the reason that the accumulator battery i...
