Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to an action toy. Background Technology

[0002] Conventional ball-rolling toys involve placing a spherical object on a designated track and rolling it from a high position to a low position. In such toys, for example, glass marbles are used as the rolling object, and a marble-lifting device is provided to move the marble from a low position to a high position on the track. This marble-lifting device is configured such that a spiral track member is erected from a low position to a high position on the track, holding the marble and rotating it, thereby moving the marble to a higher position and continuously rolling the ball (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

[0079] The following is for reference Figures 1-10 An action toy, which is one embodiment of the present invention, will be described.

[0080] Figure 1 This is a side view showing an example of the action toy 1 of this embodiment. Figure 2 This is a 3D image of action toy 1.

[0081] Figure 1 and Figure 2 The action toy 1 shown is represented by an image of a dinosaur, such as a Tyrannosaurus Rex. It is a toy that performs prescribed actions around the rotation axis 32, as described later, when the action section 10 is positioned on the machine base 20. Furthermore, regarding orientation, as described below... Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, with the action toy 1 placed on the mounting surface, the direction the figure (dinosaur) faces is defined as forward or front-side with the machine base 20 side as the vertical direction, and the opposite direction is defined as rear or rear-side. Furthermore, the left and right directions from the perspective of the figure are defined as left, right, and left-right. Regarding these orientations, in... Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 The diagram is shown in the figure.

[0082] Action Toy 1 is a game played using a ball B as an object. For example, the action toy 1 is positioned on a track 70 for the ball B to roll and move (see reference). Figure 3 During the middle of the movement, the action is performed by varying the movement of ball B. The figurative element includes, for example, a head 10h with a wide-open mouth 10m containing sharp teeth, a torso 10b including a buttock 10r with a large opening, a tail 10t that curves continuously from the buttock 10r to the right rear, and legs 15 that can move in conjunction with the torso 10b. Additionally, as... Figure 2 As shown, the object is configured to accommodate ball B within a 10m opening.

[0083] Figure 3 This is a three-dimensional view of the toy set 100 containing the action toy 1 in a play state, showing the action toy 1 positioned within the track 70.

[0084] In toy set 100, such as Figure 3 As shown, a ball-feeding part 60 is connected to the front side of the action toy 1, and the track 70 of the ball-feeding part 60 is connected to the second track 72 on the front side of the action part 10. Therefore, the ball B supplied from the ball-feeding part 60 is contained within the opening 10m of the image of the action part 10. Then, the action part 10 immediately moves from the first position P1, which is a lower position corresponding to the second track 72, to the second position P2, which is a higher position.

[0085] The details of the action toy 1 will be described later, but it is configured such that when the opening 10m contains the ball B, the holding part 40 can correspondingly release the holding of the action part 10. Furthermore, the action part 10, having been released from holding (locked state), rotates upwards from the first position P1 toward the second position P2, centered on the rotation axis 32 of the force-applying part 30 located at the rear of the action part 10, thus shifting its position. As a result, the action part 10 can change the position of the ball B from a lower position to a higher position and release the ball B to the rear side of the action part 10.

[0086] Figure 4 yes Figure 2 The A-A sectional view is a sectional view of the actuator 10 in the first position P1.

[0087] like Figure 4 As shown, the actuator 10 is equipped with a receiving part 11 at position 1 P1, which allows ball B to enter via the second track 72 on the upstream side of the opening 10m, and a receiving part 11 at position 2 P2 (refer to...). Figure 7 The system includes a release section 13 that releases ball B, and a first track 71 that connects the receiving section 11 and the release section 13 and allows ball B to move. In addition, a third track 73 that is continuous with the release section 13 and ensures the movement path of ball B is provided on the rear side of the release section 13.

[0088] The second track 72 is configured such that its track surface has a circular arc cross-section and a predetermined length in the front-rear direction. The second track 72 is configured such that its front end 72f can connect with the front track 70 (see reference). Figure 3 The ball B, supplied from the front track 70, enters the lower jaw 10hb of the receiving portion 11 by means of the second track 72.

[0089] The track surface of the first track 71 is formed by a track bottom 10bb that is continuous with the bottom surface 11b of the receiving part 11. The track bottom 10bb is a tunnel structure covered by the wall surface of the torso 10b, which is the first member of the action part 10. In addition, a release part 13 is formed at the rear end of the first track 71. The release part 13 is an opening for releasing the ball B rearwards at the buttock 10r.

[0090] The third track 73 is configured as a roughly horizontal track located behind and near the launch section 13, allowing ball B to move. The rear end 73r of the third track 73 and the rear track 70 (see reference) Figure 3 ) connection. When the action unit 10 moves to the second position P2 as described later (refer to Figure 7 The ball B is released from the first track 71 and then released to the rear. The released ball B is received by the third track 73 and supplied from the third track 73 to the rear track 70.

[0091] As described, the actuating unit 10 is configured to rotate about the rotating shaft 32 as the center of rotation, and the actuating unit 10 is subjected to force in a predetermined direction (clockwise in the figure) by a torsion spring 31, which is a first elastic member arranged about the axis of the rotating shaft 32. Moreover, as Figure 4 As shown, the actuating part 10 is locked (held) by the retaining part 40 overcoming the rotational force of the force-applying part 30, and is thus held in the first position P1.

[0092] Figure 5 This is an enlarged 3D view of the force application part 30.

[0093] like Figure 5As shown, the force-applying part 30 is, for example, composed of a rotating shaft part 32 constituting the rotation center of the action part 10, a torsion spring 31 serving as a first elastic member wound around the axis of the rotating shaft part 32, an image side wall part 10w for one end 31a of the torsion spring 31 to abut against, and a machine part side wall part 20w for the other end 31b of the torsion spring 31 to abut against. The torsion spring 31 acts in the direction in which one end 31a and the other end 31b separate (the direction in which the torsion spring 31 opens), and always applies force to the action part 10 in a clockwise direction relative to the machine part 20. Therefore, the action part 10 is locked by the holding part 40 and held in the first position P1, but when the locking state based on the holding part 40 is released, the action part 10 moves to the second position P2 by rotating the torsion spring 31.

[0094] Figure 6 This is a cross-sectional view used to illustrate the action of releasing the holding of the action unit 10.

[0095] The actuating part 10 overcomes the force of the torsion spring 31 and is locked in place by the retaining part 40. For example... Figure 6 As shown, the retaining part 40 has a base 40b that is rectangular when viewed from the side, a pressing part 40a that protrudes upward from the front part of the base 40b and is generally trapezoidal when viewed from the side, and a locking part 40c that protrudes forward from the front part.

[0096] Furthermore, the base 40b of the retaining part 40 is held in a position to slide in the front-rear direction within the base receiving part 20a of the machine base part 20. The pressed part 40a protrudes upward and forward from the base receiving part 20a. The locking part 40c protrudes forward from the outer surface of the front end side of the base 40b. In addition, the rear end side of the base 40b of the retaining part 40 is pressed forward by a compression spring 42, which is a second elastic member disposed on the rear side of the base 40b.

[0097] On the other hand, a rectangular jaw opening 10c is formed on the lower end surface of the jaw portion 10hb of the head 10h constituting the actuating part 10, through which the pressing part 40a can pass. Moreover, the opening edge 10i on the front side of the jaw opening 10c is a locking part that is locked by the locking part 40c. That is, by locking the opening edge 10i with the locking part 40c, the actuating part 10 is held in the first position P1.

[0098] Here, when the actuating part 10 is held in the first position P1, the holding part 40 is covered by the lower jaw part 10hb of the head 10h, which is a second member constituting part of the actuating part 10. Therefore, the pressed part 40a exposed from the machine base part 20 is covered by the lower jaw part 10hb when held in the first position P1 and cannot be seen from the side. On the other hand, the pressed part 40a is configured to be visible from the front side of the actuating part 10 when the actuating part 10 is in the first position P1 (see reference). Figure 2However, the pressed part 40a is shaped to mimic the tongue of the mouth 10m, thus becoming a structure that does not feel out of place as part of the dinosaur.

[0099] The retaining part 40 configured in this way, when the actuating part 10 is in the first position P1, is held in place by the compression spring 42 in the direction of locking the opening edge 10i, thus retaining the actuating part 10. However, if Figure 6 As shown, when ball B is supplied from the front into the receiving portion 11, the pressed portion 40a is pressed by the inertial force of ball B and moves backward against the force of the compression spring 42. As a result, the locking portion 40c disengages from the opening edge portion 10i, releasing the holding of the operating portion 10.

[0100] Figure 7 This is a cross-sectional view showing the motion unit 10 in the second position P2.

[0101] When the holding part 40 releases its hold on the moving part 10, as Figure 7 As shown, the actuating unit 10 rotates, causing the head 10h to move upward to a second position P2. Consequently, the receiving portion 11 is positioned above the first track 71. As a result, the ball B moves downward from the receiving portion 11 towards the first track 71 and is released rearward from the releasing portion 13. Thus, by moving the actuating unit 10 to the second position P2, the first track 71 becomes inclined downward towards the rear, allowing the ball B to be released onto the rearward track 70.

[0102] After ball B is released backward, the actuating part 10 is reset by pushing its upper side, thereby holding the actuating part 10 back in the first position P1 to prepare for the next ball B. This reset operation only requires rotating the actuating part 10 downward and counterclockwise. This is because, as shown in the figure, the upper end surface of the locking part 40c has an inclined surface 40cd that slopes downward and forward, and the holding part 40 is in a state where it is pushed forward by the compression spring 42 towards the front side of the base receiving part 20a. Thus, the actuating part 10 can be locked in the first position P1 simply by rotating against the force of the torsion spring 31. That is, when the actuating part 10 is reset, the lower edge 10j on the front side of the jaw opening 10c abuts against the inclined surface 40cd and presses the holding part 40 backward, and the opening edge 10i is locked back in the lower side of the locking part 40c.

[0103] Figure 8 This is a magnified 3D view of leg 15 at position P1. Figure 9 This is a magnified 3D view of leg 15 at position P2 (position 2).

[0104] In the action unit 10, the front legs are fixed to the left and right sides behind the lower jaw 10hb, but the hind legs are configured as leg 15 that are linked to the action unit 10. In addition, the left and right legs 15 have the same structure, so the right leg is illustrated and explained.

[0105] like Figure 8 As shown, the leg 15 includes an upper leg 15a, a lower leg 15b, and a foot 15c. The foot 15c is a fixed part integrally formed with the machine base 20. The lower leg 15b, with its lower end 15be inserted into the storage space 15d of the foot 15c, is axially supported on the foot 15c in a manner that allows it to rotate around the central axis C1, forming an ankle portion. Furthermore, the upper end 15f of the lower leg 15b and the lower end 15g of the upper leg 15a allow the lower leg 15b and upper leg 15a to rotate around the central axis C2 like a knee joint. In addition, the upper end 15h of the upper leg 15a is mounted such that the leg axis 15i is inserted into a leg support 10g provided on the side of the torso 10b, allowing it to rotate around the central axis C3.

[0106] Therefore, such as Figure 9 As shown, when the actuator 10 moves from position 1 P1 to position 2 P2, the torso 10b moves upward and the leg support 10g moves laterally upward. Consequently, the upper leg 15a and lower leg 15b move in a manner extending from a bent position, using their respective central axes C1, C2, and C3 as fulcrums. Thus, the leg 15 can move in conjunction with the movement of the torso 10b from position 1 P1 to position 2 P2.

[0107] Figure 10 This is a 3D image showing another play state of toy set 100 using action toy 1.

[0108] like Figure 10 As shown, in the toy set 100 using the action toy 1, a play method is possible where the second track 72 and its front track 70 are separated. In this case, the front track 70 becomes a slide shape with a release angle that causes ball B to fly upwards. Therefore, the flight distance of ball B can be arbitrarily set by, for example, by setting the tilt angle of the slide, the release angle of ball B, and the height of ball B (the height of the slide). Thus, it is adjusted so that ball B flies smoothly into the opening 10m of the action unit 10. Thus, it is possible to enjoyably learn how ball B flies in a parabolic trajectory.

[0109] exist Figure 10 In the configuration shown in (a), ball B flies directly into the opening at 10m. On the other hand, in Figure 10In (b), the flying ball B bounces 10m into the inlet after landing on the second track 72 and then returning to its starting point. In this case, the bounce angle and jump height vary depending on the flight angle of ball B, and because the second track 72 is not a flat surface, positioning becomes more difficult. Furthermore, in Figure 10 In either of the cases shown, because the opening 10m is relatively large, ball B can enter the opening 10m relatively easily.

[0110] As described above, in the action toy 1 of this embodiment, the action unit 10 is configured to accommodate the ball B, thus enabling it to hold, for example, the ball B supplied from the track 70. Furthermore, when the ball B is supplied to the action unit 10, the ball B releases the holding part 40 from holding the action unit 10, thus allowing the ball B to change its position while contained within the action unit 10. As a result, the action toy 1, in which the ball B is moved by the action unit 10, is realized.

[0111] Furthermore, in the action toy 1 of this embodiment, the second position P2 is higher than the first position P1, so the ball B can be moved to a higher position, enabling a performance that maintains good momentum on the ball B's trajectory. Moreover, in the action toy 1 of this embodiment, the first position P1 and the second position P2 can be changed by rotation, thus allowing for easy and rapid position shifting.

[0112] According to the action toy 1 of this embodiment, the action part 10 is always forced towards the second position P2 by the torsion spring 31. Therefore, it can move to the second position P2 simply by releasing the holding of the first position P1. Furthermore, the locking of the holding part 40 to the opening edge 10i at the first position P1 can be released by shifting the holding part 40 to a rearward position. Therefore, the holding part 40 can be released by the supply action of the ball B, thereby causing the action part 10 to begin moving to the second position P2. As a result, the movement of the action part 10 that shifts the position of the ball B can be performed as an action that immediately moves together with the movement of the ball B.

[0113] Furthermore, in this embodiment, since the holding part 40 moves in the direction of releasing the locking of the actuation part 10 by overcoming the force of the compression spring 42 through the pressing of the moving ball B, the actuation part 10 can be moved by supplying the ball B to the actuation part 10. Moreover, when the actuation part 10 returns from the second position P2 to the first position P1, it can be easily held back in the first position P1 simply by overcoming the force in the rotational direction.

[0114] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the release action of the retaining part 40 is aligned with the direction of supplying the ball B at the first position P1, thus the retaining part 40 can be released from its locking position using the force of the ball B's movement. Additionally, when the ball B is placed in the mouth, the action of the retaining part 40 can absorb the momentum, and in particular, it can stabilize the movement of the ball B as it is placed in the mouth with good momentum, for example, preventing the ball B from bouncing back out of the mouth.

[0115] In this embodiment, the first track 71 is a structure formed within the action part 10 and not visible from the outside. Since the ball B enters from the opening 10m of the action part 10 and exits from the rear end 10r, it is covered and cannot be visually confirmed from the outside. Therefore, the movement of the ball B within the image cannot be seen, creating a special effect. Furthermore, one can enjoy the performance of the action part 10 eating the ball B and excreting. Additionally, since the action part 10 represents an animal, eating the ball B and raising its head 10h allows for an effective performance of eating the ball B.

[0116] In this embodiment, the holding part 40 is covered so that it cannot be seen from the outside, so that the holding (locking) and holding release states of the action part 10 cannot be seen. As a result, the action part 10, which moves approximately simultaneously with the supply of ball B, can be performed, and special effects can be performed.

[0117] Furthermore, in this embodiment, when the action part 10 is in the first position P1, the holding part 40 enters the animal's mouth 10m and imitates the animal's tongue. Therefore, the structure inside the mouth 10m is not unnatural and can imitate the animal's natural form.

[0118] In this embodiment, the mouth 10m of the action part 10 is shaped to open the lower jaw 10hb and the upper jaw 10ha towards the direction in which the ball B enters, thus increasing the range of choices for the supply direction of the ball B. As a result, various ways of supplying the ball B can be enjoyed. In addition, one can also enjoy the performance of an animal opening its mouth wide.

[0119] Furthermore, in this embodiment, since a second track 72 is provided in front of the lower jaw 10hb, which allows the ball B to move towards the mouth 10m, the ball B can be guided into the mouth even when it is supplied to the front side of the mouth 10m. Additionally, the second track 72 facilitates the connection between the lower jaw 10hb and the front track 70.

[0120] In this embodiment, since the tail 10t is bent in a way that deviates from the direction of the ball B, it is possible to see the ball B coming out of the buttock 10r. In addition, by bending the tail 10t, it can be configured not to become an obstacle when the action unit 10 performs a rotational operation.

[0121] Furthermore, in the action toy 1 of this embodiment, the part of the animal-imitating action section 10 that imitates the animal's leg 15 moves in conjunction with the animal's standing up action, thus enabling a more realistic portrayal of the animal's movements.

[0122] The above description describes one embodiment of the present invention, but the present invention can be appropriately modified within the scope of its technical concept. For example, in the above embodiment, the first position P1 and the second position P2 that move ball B are movements in the vertical direction, but it is not limited to this.
