[0002] Conventionally, as a basketball toy, the following are known: a doll dressed as an athlete, a basketball hoop disposed above each doll, a slider that moves a support member supporting each doll in the vertical direction, and a jumping motion generating device that moves the slider upward by pressing an operation portion (Patent Document 1).

[0003] According to this basketball toy, when a player presses the operation portion, the slider moves upward, and when the pressing force of the operation portion is appropriate, the doll throws the ball into the basketball hoop.

[0004] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-194838

[0005] However, in this basketball toy, since the doll only moves upward on the spot by operating the operation portion, there is a problem of lack of dynamics as a basketball toy for shooting. The present utility model has been completed in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a basketball toy capable of performing dynamic shooting. Summary of the Utility Model

[0006] The first basketball toy provided by the present utility model includes: a ball, a doll dressed as an athlete, a basketball hoop model, and a launching device that launches the doll obliquely upward. In the doll, both arm portions extend above the head in such a manner that the ball is held by two hands above the head, and each shaft portion of the both arm portions is inserted into each hole of the trunk portion, and can rotate relative to the trunk portion between a first rotation position and a second rotation position with the shaft portion as a center. An arm motion device for moving the both arm portions relative to the trunk portion is provided inside the trunk portion. The arm motion device is configured to be able to hold the both arm portions at the first rotation position, and when the both arm portions are at the first rotation position, to make the two hands approach each other while holding the ball, and when the trunk portion abuts against the basketball hoop of the basketball hoop model in a specified direction, to allow the both arm portions to rotate to the second rotation position by the inertial force acting on the ball and the both arm portions, and to separate the two hands from each other at the second rotation position to release the ball.

[0007] The second basketball toy provided by the present utility model is based on the first basketball toy. The arm movement device is composed of a pair of extension parts that extend the respective shaft parts of the two arms inward to the trunk part, and a shaft that connects the pair of extension parts to each other at the center in the width direction of the trunk part. A connecting body is provided, which can rotate integrally with the two arms around the shaft part and can separate the two hand parts through the relative displacement of the pair of extension parts around the shaft. A spring, a holding part, and a sliding contact part are provided on the connecting body. The spring applies a force to make the two hand parts approach each other and at the same time applies a force to make the two arms rotate to the first rotation position; the holding part abuts against the fixing part of the trunk part at the first rotation position and holds the two hand parts in a state of approaching each other; the sliding contact part slides into contact with the part to be slidably contacted of the trunk part when the two arms rotate to the second rotation position, causing relative displacement of the pair of extension parts and making the two hand parts move in the direction of separating from each other.

[0008] The third basketball toy provided by the present utility model is based on the first basketball toy. For each of the two arms, its forearm part and the hand part are bent in a "<" shape relative to the upper arm part in the direction from the first rotation position to the second rotation position.

[0009] The fourth basketball toy provided by the present utility model is based on the first basketball toy. On the outer surface of the ball, one fitting hole is formed at each of two positions that are opposed to each other across the center of the ball. The surface of the hand part that abuts against the ball is a flat surface, and a fitting protrusion that can be fitted into the fitting hole of the ball is erected on the flat surface.

[0010] The fifth basketball toy provided by the present utility model is based on the third basketball toy. A first hook-and-loop fastener part is attached to the outer peripheral surface of the basket. The hand part, one end part in its long axis direction is connected to the forearm part to form an elliptical cylinder shape, and a second hook-and-loop fastener part that can be stuck to the first hook-and-loop fastener part is attached to the outer peripheral surface of the elliptical cylinder.

[0011] The sixth basketball toy provided by the present utility model is based on any one of the first to fifth basketball toys. The launching device has a long strip-shaped striking plate. The middle part in the length direction of the striking plate is pivotally supported by a frame body. An operation part is provided at one end part in the length direction of the striking plate, and a doll placing part for placing the doll is provided at the other end part. According to the principle of the lever, the doll is made to fly out.

[0012] The seventh basketball toy provided by the present utility model is based on the sixth basketball toy. On the upper surface of the striking plate, there are steps that demarcate the doll placement part. The doll placement part is formed at the lower part of the steps. Along the short side direction of the striking plate at the lower part of the steps, a rib is formed, and this rib abuts against the part corresponding to the sole of the doll's foot.

[0013] The eighth basketball toy provided by the present utility model is based on the seventh basketball toy. The frame body includes a front wall provided in front of the launching direction of the doll, a left wall provided on the left side of the launching direction, and a right wall provided on the right side of the launching direction.

[0032] Hereinafter, the basketball toy of the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0033] Figure 1 It is a three-dimensional view of the basketball toy 100.

[0034] The basketball toy 100 includes a ball 10, a doll 20 dressed as an athlete, a shooting device 40, a basketball hoop model 50, and a ball seat 60.

[0035] Next, an outline of the game using the basketball toy 100 will be described.

[0036] First, the left and right arm parts 24L, 24R ([ Figure 3A ) extending above the head 21 of the doll 20 hold the ball 10. Then, the doll 20 is set on the launching device 40, and when the player operates the operation part 41a, the doll 20 is launched into the air toward the basketball hoop model 50, and the doll 20 hits the basket 54. Then, the doll 20 swings the left and right arm parts 24L, 24R in the direction of the backboard 53 ([ Figure 11 ). Then, the doll 20 releases the ball 10, and the released ball 10 falls into the basket 54. On the other hand, the doll 20 that has released the ball 10 falls by its own weight, and although its state changes according to the situation where the doll 20 hits the basket 54, its arm parts 24L, 24R stick to the basket 54, and the doll 20 is in a state of hanging on the basket 54.

[0037] Hereinafter, the basketball toy 100 will be described in detail.

[0038] (Ball 10)

[0039] Figure 2 It is a perspective view of the ball 10.

[0040] The ball 10 is generally made of plastic. However, the ball 10 can also be formed of rubber or other materials.

[0041] On the outer periphery of the ball 10, one fitting hole 11a is respectively formed corresponding to the arm portions 24L, 24R of the doll 20. Each fitting hole 11a penetrates from the outer periphery of the ball 10 toward the center of the ball 10. The fitting protrusions 26aL, 26aR of the doll 20 described later can be fitted into the fitting hole 11a.

[0042] In addition, an attachment portion 12 constituting one side of the hook-and-loop fastener (Velcro) is provided on the outer periphery of the ball 10. The hook-and-loop portion 27 of the doll 20 described later can be hooked on the hook-and-loop portion 12.

[0043] (Doll 20)

[0044] Figure 3A 、 3B It is a perspective view of the doll 20 observed from the side, Figure 4 It is an exploded perspective view of the doll 20 observed from the rear, Figure 5 It is a rear view showing the arm portions 24L, 24R and the connecting body.

[0045] The doll 20 is generally made of plastic.

[0046] The doll 20 has a doll main body 20A composed of a head 21, a trunk 22, and left and right leg portions 23L, 23R, and movable left and right arm portions 24L, 24R attached to the doll main body 20A.

[0047] The doll main body 20A is composed of a front case 25a and a rear case 25b, and the front case 25a and the rear case 25b are joined to each other by screws (not shown).

[0048] The arm portions 24L, 24R are formed in a shape where the hand portions 26L, 26R and the forearm portions are bent backward with respect to the upper arm portions in a "<" shape (here, "<" is a Japanese kana, and the so-called "<" shape can also be said to be an "L" shape with an angle exceeding 90 degrees). By forming the hand portions 26L, 26R and the forearm portions in a shape bent with respect to the upper arm portions, the doll 20 can easily perform a dunk.

[0049] In addition, the arm portions 24L, 24R extend above the head 21, and the ball 10 can be held on the head 21 by the arm portions 26L, 26R.

[0050] The hands 26L and 26R are each elliptical, with one end of the long axis of each elliptical cylinder connected to the corresponding forearm. One of the two end faces (flat surfaces) of each elliptical cylinder forms the palm of the doll 20. The palms of the hands 26L and 26R face each other.

[0051] Fitting projections 26aL and 26aR are provided on both palms to fit into the fitting holes 11a and 11a of the ball 10. While the fitting projections 26aL and 26aR are hemispherical, they could also be cylindrical. In short, the fitting projections 26aL and 26aR are shaped to match the fitting holes 11a and 11a of the ball 10, allowing for both engagement and release.

[0052] In addition, on the outer peripheral surfaces of the hands 26L and 26R, a hook and loop fastener portion 27 constituting one side of a hook and loop fastener is provided at portions corresponding to the fingertips and side surfaces of the hands 26L and 26R, respectively.

[0053] Furthermore, the shafts 28L and 28R forming the bases of the arms 24L and 24R are fitted with a certain degree of play into shaft holes 29L and 29R formed by the front and rear housings 25a and 25b near the shoulders of the figure 20. The edges of the shaft holes 29L and 29R function as shaft supports for the rotation of the arms 24L and 24R.

[0054] The shaft portions 28L and 28R extend to the center in the width direction of the trunk portion 22. The extension portions 30L and 30R are connected to each other by a shaft 31 at the center in the width direction of the trunk portion 22. The connection body formed by the extension portions 30L and 30R and the shaft 31 can rotate integrally with the arm portions 24L and 24R about the shaft portions 28L and 28R.

[0055] A tension spring (coil spring) 32 is hung between the extension portion 30R and a fixed portion (not shown) inside the trunk portion 22. The tension spring 32 pulls the extension portion 30R downward. The tension spring 32 applies force in the direction of bringing the hands 26L and 26R closer to each other and in the direction of moving the arms 24L and 24R toward the first rotation position. The arms 24L and 24R are provided with a hemispherical protrusion (retaining portion) 33a on the shaft 31 or the shaft portion of the first connecting body. When in the first rotation position, as shown in FIG. Figure 6A As shown, the protrusion 33a contacts the fixing portion 33b in a manner that presses the protrusion 33a below the fixing portion 33b that has been inserted into the inner side of the trunk portion 22 downward. Figure 3A The positions of the arms 24L, 24R are shown.

[0056] In the first rotation position, the arms 24L and 24R are held in the first rotation position by the force of the tension spring 32 while the protrusion 33a is in contact with the fixing portion 33b.Figure 6B As shown, the arms 24L and 24R are in the second rotation position where the contact between the protrusion 33a and the fixing portion 33b is released by a specified inertial force. The "second rotation position" refers to Figure 3B the positions of the arms 24L and 24R shown.

[0057] The shaft 31 is at the same height as the shaft portions 28L and 28R in the second rotation position. That is, the shaft 31 is on the straight line connecting the shaft portions 28L and 28R in the second rotation position. In the doll 20 of the present embodiment, when the shaft 31 is at this position, the interval between the hands 26L and 26R is set to the maximum. In addition, in the first rotation position of the shaft 31, the protrusion 33a is pressed downward by the fixing portion 33b inside the trunk portion 22, and the first rotation position and the interval between the hands 26L and 26R are maintained at the set position when they are the smallest by the tension spring 32.

[0058] When the arms 24L and 24R are in the first rotation position, since the interval between the hands 26L and 26R is small, it is difficult to hold the ball 10 on the hands 26L and 26R. Therefore, when holding the ball 10, first rotate the arms 24L and 24R to the second rotation position to hold the ball 10, and then let the arms 24L and 24R be in the first rotation position.

[0059] Figure 7 is a perspective view of the connecting body and its periphery in the first rotation position as viewed from the front.

[0060] As shown in this figure, one end of the tension spring 32 is hung on the front side of the extension portion 30R.

[0061] The tension spring 32 applies a force in the direction of making the hands 26L and 26R approach each other, and applies a force to the arms 24L and 24R to make them face the first rotation position. The arms 24L and 24R are moved (rotated) to the first rotation position by this tension spring 32, and the protrusion 33a presses the shaft 31 downward by contacting the fixing portion 33b of the trunk portion 22, and is held at the set position when the first rotation position and the interval between the hands 26L and 26R are the smallest by the tension spring 32.

[0062] In addition, protrusion portions 32L and 32R that protrude downward are provided on the extension portions 30L and 30R. The protrusion portions 32L and 32R are separated in the first rotation position.

[0063] On the other hand, a sliding contact portion 33 that slidably contacts the protrusion portions 32L and 32R when the arms 24L and 24R rotate from the first rotation position to the second rotation position is provided on the inner surface of the trunk portion 22 (refer to Figure 4)。The slidable contact part 33 generates relative displacement of the extension parts 30L and 30R centered on the shaft 31 through sliding contact with the protrusion parts 32L and 33R. When the protrusion 33a leaves the fixing part 33b inside the trunk part 22, the protrusion parts 32L and 32R immediately come into sliding contact with the slidable contact part 33 under the action of the tension spring 32. When the arm parts 24L and 24R rotate from the first rotation position to the second rotation position, the protrusion parts 32L and 32R rotate toward the front housing 25a side and slide in contact with the slidable contact part 33. Through the sliding contact between the protrusion parts 32L and 32R and the slidable contact part 33, the interval between the hand parts 26L and 26R gradually increases. Therefore, when holding the ball 10 with the hand parts 26L and 26R, at the second rotation position, the fitting protrusions 26aL and 26aR disengage from the fitting holes 11a and 11a of the ball 10 to release the ball 10. In addition, when the arm parts 24L and 24R reach the second rotation position, the protrusion parts 32L and 32R abut against each other to prevent further separation of the hand parts 26L and 26R.

[0064] The above-mentioned extension parts 30L and 30R, shaft 31, tension spring 32, protrusion 33a, fixing part 33b, and protrusion parts 32L and 32R constitute the arm movement device.

[0065] (Launching device 40)

[0066] Figure 8 is a perspective view of the launching device 40.

[0067] Hereinafter, in the description of the launching device 40, the Figure 8 directions shown are set as the front-back, left-right, and up-down directions.

[0068] In the present embodiment, there is provided a launching device 40 that strikes the doll 20 using the lever principle and causes it to fly out.

[0069] The launching device 40 has a long striking plate 41. The striking plate 41 is mounted on the frame 42.

[0070] The frame 42 is a rectangle that is long in the front-back direction when viewed from above. The frame 42 is formed in a shape where the front wall 42b, left wall 42c, and right wall 42d are erected on the bottom plate 42a. The striking plate 41 is disposed in the space surrounded by the three sides of the front wall 42b, left wall 42c, and right wall 42d.

[0071] Figure 9 is a perspective view of the striking plate 41.

[0072] The striking plate 41 is long in the front-back direction and is pivotally supported by the left wall 42c and the right wall 42d at the middle part in the length direction. The rear end part of the striking plate 41 becomes the operation part 41a that is pressed by the player.

[0073] On the other hand, the front end of the striking plate 41 serves as a doll placement part 41b for placing the doll 20.

[0074] The doll placement part 41b is formed in the lower step portion divided by a step 41c provided on the upper surface of the striking plate 41. The doll 20 is placed on the doll placement part 41b with its front facing the front of the launching device 40. At this time, the back of the heel of the doll 20 abuts against the step 41c to prevent the position of the doll 20 from shifting. This state is shown in Figure 10 the side sectional view.

[0075] A partition wall 41d extending in the front-rear direction is formed at the center in the left-right direction of the doll placement part 41b. The left and right regions separated by the partition wall 41d constitute places for placing the left and right feet 23L, 23R of the doll 20 respectively. On the upper surface of each of these places, strip-shaped protrusions 41eL, 41eR extending in the left-right direction are provided. When the doll 20 is placed on the doll placement part 41b, the protrusions 41eL, 41eR abut against the parts corresponding to the soles of the feet of each foot of the doll 20. Therefore, regardless of the angle of the striking plate 41 for launching the doll 20, these protrusions 41eL, 41eR always serve to apply the striking force to the part corresponding to the sole of the foot of the doll 20.

[0076] In addition, when the doll 20 is placed on the doll placement part 41b, the doll 20 abuts against the inner surface of the front wall 42b of the housing 42. As a result, the doll 20 is launched obliquely upward in front of the housing 42.

[0077] Furthermore, at the rear part of the housing 42, a striking plate angle suppressing member 42e for suppressing the movable angle of the striking plate 41 is provided. At the time of launching, by raising the striking plate angle suppressing member 42e and abutting the operation part 41a against the stopper 42, the amount of front somersault or twist during the flight of the doll 20 in short-range launching can be adjusted.

[0078] (Basketball hoop model 50)

[0079] Figure 11 is a perspective view of the basketball hoop model 50 as viewed from the side.

[0080] The basketball hoop model 50 is configured such that a backboard 53 is provided on a support column 52 of a pedestal 51, and a basket 54 is installed on the backboard 53. A hook-and-loop part 55 forming one side of a hook-and-loop fastener (Velcro) is attached to the outer periphery of the upper part of the basket 54.

[0081] (Ball seat 60)

[0082] Figure 12 is a perspective view of the ball seat 60.

[0083] The ball mount 60 is provided with a ball placement portion 62 on the support column 61. The support column 61 can be telescoped by using a corrugated, screw, telescopic or ratchet type telescopic mechanism.

[0084] (Gameplay)

[0085] <When not using the ball mount 60>

[0086] a. Launch from a long distance

[0087] Let the left and right arm portions 24L and 24R extending toward the head 21 of the doll 20 hold the ball 10. Then, set the doll 20 on the launching device 40. Then, the player forcefully strikes the operation portion 41a of the striking plate 41 to launch the doll 20.

[0088] In this case, if it goes smoothly, then as Figure 13 shown, the launched doll 20 performs a front flip and rotates one circle while being in a semi-twisted state, that is, the doll 20 touches the basket 54 in the state where the back side faces the basket 54. This hitting state is as Figure 14 shown. Thus, the doll body is fixed by the basket 54, but the ball 10 and the arm portions 24L and 24R act toward the backboard 53 side by inertia as Figure 15 shown. As a result, the arm portions 24L and 24R rotate from the first rotation position to the second rotation position, and the hand portions 26L and 26R holding the ball 10 reach above the basket 54. Here, the ball 10 is released. Then, the released ball 10 falls into the basket 54.

[0089] On the other hand, the doll 20 that has released the ball 10 falls by its own weight. And if it falls well, then on the way of falling, the hook-and-loop portions 27 of the hand portions 26L and 26R of the doll 20 are hooked to the hook-and-loop portion 55 of the basket 54, and the doll 20 is in a state of hanging on the basket 54.

[0090] b. Launch from a short distance

[0091] Let the left and right arm portions 24L and 24R extending toward the head 21 of the doll 20 hold the ball 10. Then, set the doll 20 on the launching device 40. Then, the player strikes the operation portion 41a of the striking plate 41 relatively weakly to launch the doll 20.

[0092] In this case, for example, as Figure 16As shown, when the launched doll 20 does a front flip for half a turn, the doll 20 dives into the basket 54 from the head 21. Thus, if it goes smoothly, the ball 10, the arm parts 24L and 24R collide with the basket 54, and due to the inertial force acting on the doll main body 20A etc., the arm parts 24L and 24R rotate to the second rotation position, and the ball 10 is released. After that, either the doll 20 falls, or the doll 20 does a half turn backward on the basket 54, and the hook-and-loop parts 27 of the hands 26L and 26R of the doll 20 are hooked to the hook-and-loop part 55 of the basket 54, becoming a state where the doll 20 is hanging on the basket 54. Additionally, it is also possible for the doll 20 to enter into the basket 54.

[0093] (When using the ball rest 60)

[0094] In the case of using the ball rest 60, the arm parts 24L and 24R of the doll 20 do not hold the ball 10. In this state, the doll 20 is set on the launching device 40. When setting, the hook-and-loop part 12 of the ball 10 faces the side of the launching device 40. Then, the player forcefully strikes the operation part 41a of the striking plate 41 to launch the doll 20.

[0095] Then, during the flight, as Figure 17 shown, the hook-and-loop part 27 on the hands 26L and 26R of the doll 20 touches the hook-and-loop part 12 of the ball 10, and the ball 10 is hooked to the hands 26L and 26R of the doll 20. In this state, the doll 20 rotates more than one turn, and only the hand enters the basket 54. Thus, the hook-and-loop part 12 peels off from the hook-and-loop part 27, and the ball 10 is released.

[0096] In addition, the doll 20 just falls directly.

[0097] Above, the gameplay of the game has been described, but the flying method of the doll 20 and the method of reaching the basket 54 vary in various states according to the magnitude of the operating force on the operation part 41a, the setting situation of the doll 20, etc. By adjusting and changing the position of the launching device 40, the magnitude of the operating force on the operation part 41a, the setting position of the doll 20, etc., a game with various state changes can be enjoyed.

[0098] Above, the gameplay of the basketball toy 100 of this embodiment has been described. Needless to say, according to the distance between the launching device 40 and the basketball hoop model 50, the orientation of the launching device 40, the strength of the operation on the striking plate 41, etc., the actions of the doll 20 will change differently.

[0099] (Effects of this embodiment)

[0100] According to the basketball toy 100 of this embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.

[0101] That is, according to the basketball toy 100, through the launching device 40, the doll 20 can fly in the air and throw the ball 10 into the basket 54, so that the basketball toy 100 capable of performing dynamic shooting can be realized.

[0102] In addition, the arm portions 24L and 24R are respectively bent in a "<" shape with respect to the upper arm portion in the rotation direction of the forearm portion from the first rotation position to the second rotation position, so that it is easy for the hand portions 26L and 26R holding the ball 10 to move on the basket 54.

[0103] In addition, the hand portions 26L and 26R are relatively thick, and the hook-and-loop fastener portions 27 are provided on the front end portion and the side surface portion, and the hook-and-loop fastener portion 55 is provided on the outer periphery of the basket 54, so that the doll 20 can be hung on the basket 54 after shooting.

[0104] In addition, since the launching device 40 has a long strip-shaped striking plate 41, the middle portion in the length direction of the striking plate 41 is pivotally supported by the frame 42, an operation portion 41a is provided at one end portion in the length direction of the striking plate 41, and a doll placing portion 41b for placing the doll 20 is provided at the other end portion, so that the doll 20 can be simply made to fly into the air by using the principle of the lever.

[0105] In addition, on the striking plate 41, a step 41c is formed in such a manner that the doll placing portion 41b becomes the lower part of the step, and the convex strips 41eL and 41eR that abut against the soles of the feet of the doll 20 are formed along the width (short side) direction of the striking plate 41 at the lower part of the step. Therefore, regardless of the angle of the striking plate 41 at the time of launching, the striking force can usually act on the sole portion of the doll 20.

[0106] In addition, the frame 42 has a front wall 42b provided in front of the launching direction, a left wall 42c provided on the left side of the launching direction, and a right wall 42d provided on the right side of the launching direction. The striking plate 41 is provided in the area surrounded by the front wall 42b, the left wall 42c, and the right wall 42d, and the placed doll 20 abuts against the front wall 42b. Therefore, it is easy for the doll 20 to fly obliquely upward in the front.

[0107] (Modification example)

[0108] The above describes the present embodiment of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the present embodiment and can be variously modified.

[0109] For example, in the present embodiment, as the launching device 40, a device that makes the doll 20 fly out according to the principle of the lever is used, but the doll 20 can also be made to fly out by using the acting force of a spring.

[0110] In addition, in this embodiment, the figure 20 is shown as dunking backward, but it is also applicable to the figure 20 dunking forward. For example, the arms 24L and 24R and the arm movement device are configured to be reversed front and back. By launching the figure 20 backward, it is possible to form a structure in which the front of the figure 20 contacts the basket and dunks forward.

[0111] In addition, by launching the doll 20 backward, it is possible to form the front portion of the doll 20 into contact with the basket and perform a slam dunk forward. That is, when the doll is made to fly in the air, it is well known that the doll's rotational motion is different depending on the center of gravity of the doll holding the ball, the striking position, the striking balance of the left and right sides, the size of the striking force, etc. Therefore, the arms 24L, 24R and the arm action device are made into a front-to-back opposite structure. By adjusting the center of gravity of the doll holding the ball, etc., the doll 20 can be launched forward and performed a slam dunk forward.

[0112] In addition, in the present embodiment, the arms 24L and 24R are moved from the first rotational position to the second rotational position by inertial force. However, the configuration may be such that in the first rotational position, the arms 24L and 24R are locked by the locking member against the urging force of the spring, the collision of the figure 20 against the basket 54 pushes the locking release member, thereby releasing the locking of the arms 24L and 24R by the locking member, and the urging force of the spring causes the arms 4L and 24 to rotate to the second rotational position.

[0113] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the protrusion 33a is configured to be embedded under the fixing portion 33b inside the trunk 22 by utilizing the force of the tension spring 32, but the protrusion 33a may also be embedded under the fixing portion 33b inside the trunk 22 only manually.

[0114] In addition, in this embodiment, the protrusion 33a is pushed downward by utilizing the fixing portion 33b on the inner side of the trunk 22, thereby minimizing the distance between the hands 26L and 26R. However, it can also be constructed so that the distance between the hands 26L and 26R is minimized by the abutment between the fixing portion 33b on the inner side of the trunk 22 and the protrusion 33a and the force of the tension spring 32 is used to maintain the distance between the hands 26L and 26R at a minimum.
