DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0035] Hereinafter, a spinning top toy set and a spinning top toy according to embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

[0036] (First Embodiment)

[0037] Figure 1 It is a three-dimensional diagram of the spinning top toy set 100 .

[0038] The spinning top toy set 100 includes the spinning top toy 10 and a stadium 50A for the spinning top toys 10 to battle against each other.

[0039] (Spinning Top Toy 10)

[0040] Figure 2 It is a front view of the spinning top toy 10. The spinning top toy 10 is generally made of plastic.

[0041] The spinning top toy 10 includes a main body 11 and a shaft 12A. The main body 11 is a composite member. Concavoconvex portions are formed on the entire periphery of the main body 11. The shape of the concavoconvex portions changes the attack performance and defense performance during the battle.

[0042] The mounting portion 13 is provided at the lower end of the main body portion 11. The shaft portion 12A is detachably mounted on the mounting portion 13.

[0043] Figure 3 12A is a front view of the shaft portion 12A. The shaft portion 12A includes a rotating shaft 14. The lower end of the rotating shaft 14 constitutes a grounding portion 14a.

[0044] On the outer periphery of the middle portion in the vertical direction of the rotating shaft 14, engaging recesses 15 are formed at predetermined intervals over the entire circumferential region of the rotating shaft 14. Figure 4 As shown, a hole 16 for embedding the rotating shaft 14 is formed in the mounting portion 13. In addition, an elastic claw 17 that engages with the above-mentioned engaging recess 15 is provided in the hole 16. Two elastic claws 17 are provided across the central axis of the hole 16. By engaging the elastic claws 17 with the engaging recess 15, the shaft portion 12A is mounted on the mounting portion 13. When the shaft portion 12A is mounted on the mounting portion 13, the upper end of the raised portion 19 described later abuts against the lower end of the mounting portion 13. By this abutment, the shaft portion 12A is stably held on the main body 11. The shaft portion 12A rotates integrally with the main body 11. In addition, the shaft portion 12A can be removed from the main body 11 by manually pulling downward relative to the main body 11.

[0045] A gear 18A is provided just above the grounding portion 14a of the rotating shaft 14. The center line of the rotating shaft 14 coincides with the center line of the gear 18A. The gear 18A is a tapered gear whose diameter increases as it goes downward.

[0046] In addition, a raised portion 19 extending in a flange shape is provided just above the gear 18A of the rotating shaft 14 and below the engaging recess 15. The lower surface of the raised portion 19 is an axisymmetric sliding contact surface 19a whose lower end is the same as the circumscribed circle of the upper end of the gear 18A and whose diameter increases as it goes upward in the axial direction.

[0047] (Stadium 50A)

[0048] Figure 1 The stadium 50A shown is constructed of transparent polyvinyl chloride.

[0049] The stadium 50A constitutes a venue for the spinning top battle, and includes a base plate 51 and a cover body 52 disposed on the base plate 51 and having a circular opening 52a on the top plate. The center of the floor surface of the venue is formed into a grinding bowl-shaped recess 53. In addition, an inclined surface (inclination) is formed around the recess 53 for the spinning top toy 10 to move back and forth. A step portion 54 is formed on the outside of the inclined surface. The venue is divided into a lower layer and an upper layer with the step portion 54 as a boundary.

[0050] The upper portion of the step portion 54 is constituted by an accelerating rail. The accelerating rail is constituted by a rack 56A that can mesh (engage) with the gear 18A. The rack 56A constitutes a part of the step portion 54 and a part of the upper layer.

[0051] (Relationship between the shaft portion 12A and the rack 56A)

[0052] The structure is such that when the rack 56A meshes with the gear 18A, the grounding portion 14a of the rotating shaft 14 is separated from the floor of the lower layer. In other words, in the spinning top toy set 100, when the spinning top toy 10 moving back and forth on the lower layer abuts against the step portion 54, first, the sliding contact surface 19a of the raised portion 19 abuts against the upper corner of the step portion 54. Then, due to the sliding contact between the sliding contact surface 19a and the step portion 54, when the raised portion 19 climbs above the step portion 54, the grounding portion 14a of the rotating shaft 14 is separated from the floor of the lower layer, and the gear 18A meshes with the rack 56A.

[0053] In other words, when the grounding portion 14a of the rotating shaft 14 is not separated from the floor of the lower floor, the gear 18A does not mesh with the rack 56A.

[0054] (Rotational force of the spinning top toy 10)

[0055] The spinning top toy 10 is mounted on a launching device (not shown). At this time, for example, the output rotating body of the launching device is engaged with the arc-shaped recessed portion formed on the upper surface of the spinning top toy 10 and the output rotating body is rotated, thereby stopping the output rotating body after applying rotational force to the spinning top toy 10. Thus, the engagement between the arc-shaped recessed portion and the raised portion is released, and the spinning top toy 10 is launched. Alternatively, the spinning top toy 10 is held by the chuck of the launching device and rotational force is applied, and the holding by the chuck is released, and the spinning top toy 10 is launched.

[0056] (Action of the spinning top toy 10)

[0057] like Figure 5 As shown in (A) in the figure, in the spinning top toy 10 that moves back and forth on the lower layer, the sliding contact surface 19a of the raised portion 19 abuts against the upper corner of the step portion 54. In this case, if the abutting force is weak, the gear 18A and the rack 56A are kept out of meshing, and the spinning top toy 10 leaves the step portion 54.

[0058] On the other hand, when the contact force between the sliding contact surface 19a of the raised portion 19 and the upper corner of the stepped portion 54 is strong, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown in (B) in the figure, the sliding contact surface 19a slides in contact with the upper corner of the step portion 54, and the raised portion 19 climbs up to the step portion 54. As a result, the grounding portion 14a of the rotating shaft 14 floats from the floor below, and the gear 18A meshes with the rack 56A. As a result, the gear 18A rotates, the gear 18A meshes with the rack 56A and rotates simultaneously, and the movement of the spinning top toy 10 is accelerated.

[0059] In addition, for example, when the rack 56A that meshes and rotates with the gear 18A is at a sharp turn, a strong centrifugal force acts on the spinning top toy 10. In this case, Figure 5 As shown in (C), there is a situation where the center line of the gyro toy 10 is greatly tilted toward the step portion 54, and the meshing of the gear 18A and the rack 56A is separated. If this happens, the shorter shaft tip will also have an impact, and the gyro toy 10 as a whole will climb to the upper layer under the trend of centrifugal force / acceleration. Then, the gyro toy 10 that climbs to the upper layer moves on the floor of the upper layer and returns to the lower layer. Or there is also a situation where the gear 18A is meshed with the rack 56A again at the moment of returning to the lower layer, and the gyro toy 10 accelerates.

[0060] (Effects of Embodiments)

[0061] According to the spinning top toy set 100 constructed as described above, the following effects can be achieved.

[0062] First, when the spinning top toy 10 hits the step portion 54, the grounding portion 14a of the rotating shaft 14 moves back and forth while being floated from the floor below. Therefore, a spinning top toy set 100 with high surprise and interest can be realized.

[0063] Secondly, after the spinning top toy 10 comes into contact with the step portion 54 , the gear 18A meshes with the rack 56A and is rapidly accelerated, so that a spinning top toy set 100 with high interest can be realized.

[0064] (Modification of the shaft portion 12A)

[0065] Figure 6 (A) to (C) are front views of modified examples of the shaft portion 12A. In addition, the same reference numerals are given to the parts of the shaft portions 12B to 12D that are common to the shaft portion 12A, and their description is omitted. The rotating shaft 14 and the grounding portion 14a are given the same reference numerals.

[0066] Figure 6In the shaft portion 12B shown in (A) in FIG. 1 , the grounding portion 14a of the rotating shaft 14 is made of rubber having a larger friction coefficient than plastic. The gear 18B is the same as the gear 18A. The shaft portion 12B allows the spinning top 10 to easily move back and forth by the rotation (rotation) of the spinning top 10 .

[0067] When the grounding portion 14a is made of rubber, if the grounding portion 14a made of rubber is grounded to the floor of the lower layer, the grounding portion 14a rubs against the floor of the lower layer during acceleration, which becomes a large resistance and makes it difficult to accelerate. In this regard, if the grounding portion 14a is floated from the floor of the lower layer during acceleration as in the embodiment, it becomes easy to accelerate.

[0068] Figure 6 In the shaft portion 12C shown in (B) in FIG. 1 , the gear 18C becomes a cylindrical gear. According to the shaft portion 12C, the sliding contact surface 19a of the raised portion 19 abuts against and slides against the floor of the upper layer of the step portion 54. In this case, when the gear 18C is meshed with the rack 56A, the gear 18C rotates relative to the rack 56A and the gyroscope toy 10 is accelerated. However, when the gear 18C is not meshed with the rack 56A, or when the meshing of the gear 18C and the rack 56A is incomplete, the gyroscope toy 10 is easily raised to the upper floor by the sliding contact between the sliding contact surface 19a of the raised portion 19 and the floor of the upper layer of the step portion 54. In the case of the gear 18C, since the gear 18C is difficult to mesh with the rack 56A, the gyroscope toy 10 is more easily raised to the upper floor than in the case of the gear 18A.

[0069] Figure 6 In the shaft portion 12D shown in (C), the gear 18D is a cylindrical gear, and the grounding portion 14a of the rotating shaft 14 is made of rubber having a larger friction coefficient than plastic. According to the shaft portion 12D, the spinning top toy 10 can easily move back and forth by the rotation (rotation) of the spinning top toy 10. In addition, since the grounding portion 14a is floated from the floor of the lower layer during acceleration, energy loss can be reduced.

[0070] (Second Embodiment)

[0071] Figure 7 2 is a perspective view of a spinning top toy set 200 according to the second embodiment. The same components of the spinning top toy set 200 as those of the spinning top toy set 100 are denoted by the same reference numerals and their description is omitted.

[0072] The spinning top toy set 200 of the second embodiment is different from the spinning top toy set 100 of the first embodiment in that the shaft portion is different and the acceleration rail of the stadium is different.

[0073] like Figure 8As shown, the shaft 12E of the spinning top toy 10 is provided with a roller 18E as a rotating body instead of a gear. The roller 18E is a tapered roller that becomes larger in diameter as it goes downward. In addition, the acceleration rail of the stadium 50B is a rail 56B that has a smooth surface and can abut (engage) with the roller 18E.

[0074] According to the spinning top toy set 200 , the same effects as those of the spinning top toy set 100 can be achieved.

[0075] Furthermore, the roller 18E may be shaped like a cylinder or the grounding portion 14a of the rotating shaft 14 may be made of rubber.

[0076] (Other Modifications)

[0077] As mentioned above, the spinning top toy set 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention has been described, but the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment and modified examples.

[0078] For example, in the above-described embodiment, the shaft portion is detachable from the main body portion, but the shaft portion may be fixed to the main body portion.

[0079] In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the raised portion is provided on the shaft portion, but the raised portion may also be provided on the main body portion. In addition, the raised portion may also be an independent component from the shaft portion and the main body portion. Furthermore, the raised portion may also be rotatable relative to the rotation axis.

[0080] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned embodiment, modified examples of the shaft portion are given, but these shaft portions may also be replaceable.

[0081] In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the diameter of the raised portion is about twice that of the rotating body (gear or roller), but the diameter of the expanded portion of the raised portion only needs to be larger than the upper end of the rotating body. Furthermore, the ease of engagement can be differentiated by the slope of the sliding contact surface and the size of the diameter. For example, the gyroscope toy 10 only climbs when the slope of the sliding contact surface is steep, the rotational force is high, and the centrifugal force acts strongly. On the other hand, if the slope is gentle, it is easy to climb, and if the diameter is large, a rotational force / centrifugal force is required for the rotating body to continue climbing to the acceleration guide rail.
