Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a ball launching toy which launches balls. Background Art

[0002] In the past, there is a known ball launching toy that launches a placed ball (see Patent Document 1). The launching device is configured to place a ball on a plane and launch the ball by bringing a struck portion that has been forced into contact with the ball.

[0003] Patent Document 1: Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 7-12187

[0004] Such ball launching toys are designed to enable proper and safe play when using regular balls.

[0005] However, the ball launching toy described in Patent Document 1 has a flat surface where the balls can be launched, allowing for launching not only regular balls but also irregular balls. Furthermore, not only balls but also marbles and other dangerous objects that can easily cause injury can be launched. Utility Model Content

[0006] The present invention is completed based on the above situation, and its object is to provide a ball launching toy which is safe and can only launch regular balls appropriately.

[0007] The utility model provides a first ball-launching toy, which comprises a ball and a launching mechanism arranged on a base, wherein the launching mechanism applies force to the ball placed at a specified position on the base to launch the ball, wherein an engaging recess is formed on the outer surface of the ball, and a ball bracket is provided on the top of the base, which is engaged with the engaging recess to an extent that does not hinder the launching of the ball, thereby forming an engaging protrusion for placing the ball.

[0008] The second ball launching toy provided by the utility model is based on the first ball launching toy, wherein the ball bracket and the launching mechanism are configured to be able to move relatively along the upper surface of the base within a range that does not hinder the launching of the launching mechanism.

[0009] The third ball launching toy provided by the present invention is based on the first ball launching toy, and the ball bracket has a truncated cone-shaped base and a conical interlocking protrusion uprightly arranged in the center of the upper surface of the base, and an annular plane is formed around the interlocking protrusion with the edge of the interlocking recess formed by the upper surface of the base for carrying the ball.

[0010] The fourth ball-launching toy provided by the present invention is based on any one of the first to third ball-launching toys, in that a figure is provided on the base, and a striking part is formed on the figure, which strikes the ball using a part of the figure's body or a striking tool carried by the figure to strike the ball and launch it.

[0011] The fifth ball-launching toy provided by the utility model is based on the fourth ball-launching toy, in which the axial feet of the figure are fixed on the base, and the movable feet constitute the striking part.

[0012] The sixth ball-launching toy provided by the present invention is based on the fifth ball-launching toy. The movable leg is configured to rotate around an axis corresponding to a hip joint. By rotating, a rearward swing position and a forward swing position can be obtained. The movable leg is locked in the swing position against a prescribed force and is released by operating an operating member provided on the base.

[0013] The seventh ball launching toy provided by the utility model is based on the fifth ball launching toy, in which an inclined surface whose height gradually decreases from the instep toward the foot edge is formed on the toe portion of the moving foot.

[0014] With this invention, the ball holder is shaped like a mountain and has a mating protrusion at the top. Therefore, irregular balls without mating recesses cannot be placed not only on the mating protrusion but also on the ball holder itself. Furthermore, the heights of regular balls placed on the ball holder and irregular balls placed outside the ball holder are different. Consequently, irregular balls cannot be launched like regular balls. Furthermore, marbles and other items cannot be launched like regular balls. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0037] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described using the accompanying drawings.

[0038] Outline Composition

[0039] Figure 11 is a perspective view of a soccer game device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The soccer game device 100 includes a kicking figure 10 for kicking a ball 11 , a goal 50 , a goalkeeper figure 60 , and a player display body 90 .

[0040] Figure 2 This is a perspective view of a figure 10 and a base 12 for kicking a ball, viewed from behind. The figure 10 and the base 12 constitute a ball-shooting toy. The figure 10 is mounted on the base 12, which is a portion of a playing field. The figure 10 has an axis leg 10a fixed to the base 12, and a movable leg 10b serving as a swing leg. The movable leg 10b is configured to be rotatable forward and backward around a portion corresponding to the hip joint of the figure 10, and can be swung backward (see FIG. 1 ). Figure 7 ) Press the card.

[0041] A ball holder 13 is provided on the base 12 for placing the ball 11. The ball holder 13 is raised in a mountainous shape relative to the upper surface of the base 12 and has a mating protrusion 13b at its top. A lever 12a for adjusting the planar position of the ball holder 13 and a trigger lever 12b for swinging the movable leg 10b forward, which is locked in a rearward swing position, are provided on the rear portion of the base 12.

[0042] The player display body 90 is provided between the ball-kicking figure 10 and the goal 50 . The player display body 90 prevents the ball 11 kicked by the ball-kicking figure 10 from entering the goal 50 .

[0043] The goalkeeper doll 60 is supported on the front end of the operating rod 65, and can move up and down, left and right or obliquely by operating the operating handle 66. In addition, by pressing the button 67 of the operating handle 66, the goalkeeper doll 60 can leave the operating rod 65 and fly.

[0044] Detailed composition

[0045] (Ball 11)

[0046] Figure 3 It is a front view of the ball 11. The ball 11 is not particularly limited, but is preferably formed of a soft and lightweight material. For example, the ball 11 is formed of sponge. The ball 11 is provided with holes 11a that pass through the ball 11 in the longitudinal, transverse, and front-to-back directions. These holes 11a are used as respiratory vents when the ball 11a is accidentally swallowed. The holes 11a are interconnected at the center of the ball 11. The hole 11a constitutes a fitting recess that can be fitted with the fitting protrusion 13b described later. By fitting, the ball 11 is placed at a predetermined position on the ball holder 13. In addition, the hole 11a of the ball 11 that serves as a respiratory vent only needs to pass through the ball 11 in one of the longitudinal, transverse, and front-to-back directions. In addition, the fitting recess that can be fitted with the fitting protrusion 13b can also be formed separately from the hole 11a that serves as a respiratory vent.

[0047] <Kickball Doll 10>

[0048] Figure 4 This is a rear view of a figure 10 kicking a ball. In figure 10, the sole of the foot (here, the left leg) 10a is screwed onto base 12. The toe of foot 10a is oriented to the left and outward relative to the upper body, and the portion of foot 10a extending from the heel upward is tilted to the left relative to the vertical axis in the rear view. Furthermore, the upper body of figure 10 is upright relative to base 12 in the rear view.

[0049] The movable foot 10b of the ball-kicking figure 10 is configured to be able to rotate with the rotation axis 14 ( Figure 2 The movable leg 10b rotates forward and backward with the center thereof being the center thereof. The rotation of the movable leg 10b is performed in a plane facing the upper right front.

[0050] The movable leg 10b is mounted so as to be rotatable relative to the rotating shaft 14. Furthermore, although not shown, inside the movable leg 10b, a protrusion provided on the movable leg 10b and a protrusion provided on the rotating shaft 14 abut against each other via a torsion spring wound around the rotating shaft 14 and having one end fixed thereto. As a result, when the movable leg 10b is swung rearward or forward, the movable leg 10b and the rotating shaft 14 move together. Furthermore, when the movable leg 10b is locked in the rearward, raised position and forced forward, only the movable leg 10b will move forward, overcoming the force of the torsion spring.

[0051] Figure 5A is a side view of the foot 100b of the movable foot 10b, Figure 5B is a top view of foot 100b. Figure 5A As shown, the foot 100b of the moving foot 10b has a certain degree of thickness. Therefore, the central portion of the toe portion in the width direction forms an inclined surface 101b, where the height of the instep gradually decreases from the instep of the foot 100b toward the front end. The right side of this central portion also forms an inclined surface 102b, where the height of the instep gradually decreases from the instep toward the outer edge and front end (edge) of the foot 100b. Furthermore, the left side of this central portion also forms an inclined surface 103b, where the height of the instep gradually decreases from the instep toward the inner edge and front end of the foot 100b. In this way, by providing inclined surfaces 101b, 102b, and 103b at the toe portion, the ball 11 can be raised by friction due to the placement of the ball 11, thereby creating a trajectory that curves as the ball 11 is subjected to rotation. For example, when the ball 11 is rubbed on inclined surface 102b, the ball 11 can be kicked while being raised in height and curved to the right.

[0052] (Locking mechanism of movable leg 10b)

[0053] Figure 61 is a diagram showing the locking mechanism when the movable leg 10b is swung forward. Figure 7 This diagram shows the locking mechanism for swinging the movable leg 10b backward. A gear 15 is fixed to a rotating shaft 14 protruding into the shaft leg 10a. A fan-shaped gear 17 is mounted on gear 15, rotating about shaft 16. A coil spring 18 is suspended between fan-shaped gear 17 and the fixed portion of the upper body of the kicking figure 10, urging the movable leg 10b forward. Furthermore, a locked portion 19 is mounted on fan-shaped gear 17, rotating coaxially with the shaft. A stepped portion 19a with a sharp change in diameter is located on the outer periphery of locked portion 19. A locking rod 20 is mounted next to gear 15, rotating about shaft 20a. The upper end of locking rod 20 can move in and out of contact with locked portion 19 depending on the direction of rotation of locking rod 20. A coil spring 21 is mounted between locking rod 20 and the fixed portion of shaft leg 10a, forcing the upper end of locking rod 20 toward locked portion 19. According to the locking mechanism of the movable leg 10b, when the movable leg 10b is swung backward, the locking portion 19 is engaged via the gear 15 and the sector gear 17. Figure 6 When the upper end of the locking rod 20 is rotated counterclockwise by a predetermined angle, the upper end of the locking rod 20 slides into contact with the locked portion 19 and engages with the step portion 19a due to the force of the coil spring 21 ( Figure 7 ). As a result, the reverse rotation of the sector gear 17 is prevented by the force of the stored coil spring 18, and the movable leg 10b is locked in the rearward swing position. The locking mechanism constructed as described above and the locking release mechanism described below constitute the ball launching mechanism.

[0054] (Lock Release Mechanism of the Movable Leg 10b)

[0055] A locking release lever 23 that rotates about a shaft 22 is provided inside the shaft foot 10a. The lower end of the locking release lever 23 projects downward from the ball-kicking figure 10 and extends into the base 12.

[0056] Figure 8 This is a three-dimensional diagram showing the internal structure of the ball-kicking doll 10 and the base 12. An operating rod 12b is provided on the base 12, which rotates around the axis 24a. One end of the operating rod 12b is urged by the coil spring 24b in the direction away from the locking release rod 23. When the operating rod 12b is operated to overcome the force of the coil spring 24b, one end of the operating rod 12b presses the lower end of the locking release rod 23. As a result, the locking release rod 23 is rotated around the axis 22. Figure 7 The upper end of the locking release lever 23 presses the lower end of the locking lever 20. Then, the locking lever 20 is rotated clockwise around the axis 20a. Figure 7The upper end of the locking rod 20 is rotated counterclockwise to release the engagement with the step portion 19a. As a result, the locking of the movable leg 10b is released, and the movable leg 10b is swung forward vigorously by the biasing force of the stored coil spring 18.

[0057] <Ball Bracket 13>

[0058] Figure 9A It is a front view of the ball bracket 13, Figure 9B This is a bottom view of the ball holder 13. The ball holder 13 has a mountain-shaped base 13a and a fitting protrusion 13b erected at the center of the top of the base 13a. Here, the base 13a is a truncated cone. Furthermore, a conical fitting protrusion 13b having a bottom diameter smaller than the top diameter of the base 13a is formed at the center of the top of the truncated cone. As a result, an annular plane formed by the upper surface of the base 13a is formed around the fitting protrusion 13b. This annular plane is used to support the edge of the hole 11a of the ball 11. The fitting protrusion 13b fits into the hole 11a of the ball 11 to a degree that does not hinder the launch of the ball 11, thereby holding the ball 11. The bottom diameter of the fitting protrusion 13b is approximately the same as the diameter of the hole 11a of the ball 11. In addition, the top of the fitting protrusion 13b is rounded. According to the ball holder 13 , the annular flat surface allows the fitting depth between the fitting protrusion 13 b and the hole 11 a of the ball 11 to be always kept constant, and the ball 11 can be stably held on the seat 13 a .

[0059] In addition, the ball holder 13 can move in a predetermined direction along the upper surface of the base 12. The moving direction and moving range of the ball holder 13 are not limited as long as the direction and range in which the movable foot 10b reaches the ball 11 set on the ball holder 13. Here, as shown in FIG9 , the moving direction and moving range are directions that are roughly parallel to the extension direction of the intersection line of the rotating surface of the movable foot 10b and the upper surface of the base 12, and are within a range smaller than the diameter of the interlocking protrusion 13b. In addition, as shown in FIG9 , the moving direction and moving range are substantially parallel to the extension direction of the intersection line of the rotating surface of the movable foot 10b and the upper surface of the base 12, and are within a range smaller than the diameter of the interlocking protrusion 13b. Figure 9A 、 Figure 9B As shown, a protrusion 13c with a rectangular cross section is attached to the lower side of the ball bracket 13. The protrusion 13c enters the long hole 12c formed by the upper wall of the base 12 from above (refer to Figure 10 ). Thus, the ball holder 13 can move along the long hole 12c.

[0060] (Moving Mechanism of Ball Bracket 13)

[0061] like Figure 7As shown, the protrusion 13c of the ball bracket 13 passes through the long hole 12c and fits into the rectangular recess (not shown) of the rack 25 inside the base 12, and is screwed to the rack 25. The rack 25 is configured to be movable along the long hole 12c and is connected to the operating rod 12a via a connecting rod 26. Specifically, the rack 25 is rotatably connected to one end of the connecting rod 26 via a pin (not shown), and the other end of the connecting rod 26 is rotatably connected to one end of the operating rod 12a via a pin 28a. In addition, the operating rod 12a is configured to be rotatable around the axis 28b. As a result, when the operating rod 12a is operated, the rack 25 moves in one direction or the other of the long hole 12c depending on the direction of operation of the operating rod 12a.

[0062] In addition, if Figure 8 As shown, six teeth 25a are arranged side by side on the side of the rack 25. On the other hand, a positioning claw member 27 is provided next to the rack 25. The claw member 27 is configured to rotate about the axis 27a, and a coil spring 27c is used to bias a claw 27b at one end in the direction of contact with the pawl 25. The claw 27b is configured to mesh with the teeth 25a of the rack 25, and the position of the ball holder 13 can be changed in five levels by operating the operating lever 12a. Furthermore, in the embodiment, the position of the ball holder 13 can be changed in five levels, but as long as the foot of the movable leg 10b is in contact with the ball 11, the position of the ball holder 13 can also be changed steplessly.

[0063] <Player Display 90>

[0064] Figure 11 This is a perspective view of player display unit 90. Player display unit 90 includes a panel 91 on which two live players are depicted side by side, and a bracket 92 for holding panel 91 upright. Panel 91 is made of thick paper or plastic. Bracket 92 has an insertion slot 93 into which panel 91 can be inserted and removed. Panel 91 is attached to bracket 92 by inserting the lower end of panel 91 into slot 93.

[0065] (Goal 50>

[0066] Figure 12 This is a three-dimensional diagram of the goal device. Figure 13This is an exploded perspective view of the goal 50. The following description will refer to the side of the kicking figure 60 as the "front" and the side of the operating handle 66 as the "back." The goal device includes the goal 50, the goalkeeper figure 60, and the operating lever 65. The goal 50 is composed of panels 50a, 50b, 50c, 50d, and 50e made of a lattice-shaped plastic (e.g., polypropylene) and a pedestal 52. Panels 50a and 50b form the side walls. These panels 50a and 50b have a shape formed by chamfering the corners where the top and back edges of a rectangular panel meet to form hypotenuses. Panels 50c, 50d, and 50e are each rectangular and integrally formed, with their respective seams being thin and bendable. Furthermore, panel 50c is attached to the top edge of panels 50a and 50b by means of a concave-convex fitting, panel 50d is attached to the hypotenuse by means of a concave-convex fitting, and panel 50e is attached to the back edge by means of a concave-convex fitting. A downwardly opening recess 51 is formed in the center of the width of panel 50e. A pedestal 52 is detachably mounted below panel 50e. Panels 50a, 50b, 50c, 50d, and 50e may all be integrally formed to be bendable, or they may be separate.

[0067] (Operation lever 65)

[0068] Figure 14 This is a perspective view of a goalkeeper figure 60, an operating rod 65, and a pedestal 52. The operating rod 65 is mounted on the goal 50 so that its front and rear sides extend through a space defined by the upper and side edges of the recess 51 of the panel 50e and the pedestal 52. The operating rod 65 is constructed with a figure holder 69 at the front end of the rod 68 and an operating handle 66 at the rear end. The figure holder 69 and the operating handle 66 are arranged upward relative to the rod 68. By arranging the figure holder 69 and the operating handle 66 in the same direction, the operating handle 66 can be operated in the same direction as the desired movement of the goalkeeper figure 60, making it intuitive to operate the operating handle 66.

[0069] (Movement of goalkeeper figure 60, etc.)

[0070] In addition, if Figure 14 As shown, a flange portion 68a extending in a fan-shaped manner is formed near the operating handle 66 of the lever 68. This flange portion 68a fits into a groove 53 formed on the upper surface of the base 52. The goalkeeper figure 60 can be moved left and right by sliding the flange portion 68a left and right against the bottom surface of the groove 53. Furthermore, the goalkeeper figure 60 can be tilted left and right by rotating the flange portion 68a while in contact with the bottom surface of the groove 53.

[0071] (Puppet release mechanism)

[0072] Figure 15 This is a rear perspective view of the goalkeeper figure 60. Figure 16 This is a perspective view of the front side of a figure stand 69. A slider 61 is provided on the back of the goalkeeper figure 60. A lip groove 62 extending vertically is formed on the slider 61. The upper end of the lip groove 62 is closed, while the lower end is open. Furthermore, a pair of guide members 73 protrude from the figure stand 69 and slidably engage with the lip groove 62 of the slider 61 from below.

[0073] In addition, a pair of claws 63 are provided on the back side below the waist of the goalkeeper figure 60. On the other hand, a claw member 75 (refer to FIG. 1 ) which can rotate around an axis 75a is provided inside the figure support 69. Figure 17 The claw member 75 is provided with a pair of claws 75b that protrude from the front of the figure holder 69 and are capable of engaging with the claws 63. When the lip groove 62 of the goalkeeper figure 60 is engaged with the guide member 73 of the figure holder 69, and the goalkeeper figure 60 is slid along the guide member 73 to the lower limit position, the claws 75b engage with the claws 63 due to the force of the coil spring 80 (described later). This retains the goalkeeper figure 60 on the figure holder 69. Furthermore, a torsion spring having the same function as the coil spring 80 is provided on the claw member 75. The coil spring 80 may be omitted or provided in combination with the torsion spring 80.

[0074] On the other hand, Figure 18 As shown, a linear motion member 76 that can move up and down is provided inside the operating handle 66. The linear motion member 76 is urged upward by a coil spring 77 hung between the linear motion member 76 and the fixed portion of the operating handle 66. When the button 67 is pressed, the linear motion member 76 overcomes the urging force of the coil spring 77 and moves downward.

[0075] The direct-acting member 76 and the claw member 75 are connected to each other by a connecting rod 78 provided in the rod 68. That is, a pin 76a is attached to the lower end of the direct-acting member 76, and the pin 76a engages with an inclined long hole 78a formed at the rear end of the connecting rod 78. Figure 16 As shown, a further inclined elongated hole 78b is formed at the front end of the connecting rod 78. A pin 75c attached to the portion of the claw member 75 away from the shaft 75a engages with this elongated hole 78b. Consequently, when the button 67 is pressed and the linear motion member 76 descends, the connecting rod 78 moves rearward, causing the claw member 75 to rotate in a predetermined direction, releasing the engagement between the claw 75b and the claw 63. Furthermore, a coil spring having the same function as the coil spring 77 is provided on the connecting rod 78 to bias the rod forward. However, the coil spring 77 may be omitted or provided in conjunction with the coil spring 77.

[0076] In addition, if Figure 19As shown, a push-out member 79 is provided near the claw member 75 so as to be movable up and down. The push-out member 79 is urged upward by a coil spring 80. The push-out member 79 is provided with a contact portion 64 ( Figure 15 ) abuts against the protruding piece 79a. When the goalkeeper figure 60 is lowered along the guide member 73, the protruding piece 79a is pressed by the abutting portion 64 below the slider 61, and is pressed downward against the force of the coil spring 80. This accumulates the force of the coil spring 80. Furthermore, the claw 75b and the claw 63 engage.

[0077] When the button 67 is pressed in this state, the linear member 76 descends and the connecting rod 78 moves rearward, thereby rotating the claw member 75 in a predetermined direction to release the engagement between the claw 75b and the claw 63. The pushing member 79 is lifted by the force of the coil spring 80, and the goalkeeper figure 60 is released by pushing it out.

[0078] (The action of kicking ball doll 10)

[0079] The ball-kicking figure 10 of the soccer game device 100 configured as described above moves as follows.

[0080] By swinging the movable foot 10b of the ball-kicking figure 10 upward with the hand ( Figure 20A ), the rotating shaft 14 and the gear 15 rotate counterclockwise in FIG5, and then the sector gear 17 meshing with the gear 15 rotates clockwise in FIG5. Then, the locked portion 19 integral with the sector gear 17 rotates in the same direction as the sector gear 17, and the step portion 19a of the locked portion 19 is engaged with the upper end of the locking rod 20 by the force of the coil spring 21 ( Figure 7 ). Thus, the reverse rotation of the sector gear 17 and the rotating shaft 14 is prevented, and the movable leg 10b is locked in the swing position. In addition, the rotation of the sector gear 17 accumulates the urging force of the coil spring 18.

[0081] Next, if the operating lever 12b is operated backward, the Figure 6 The lower end of the locking release lever 23 in the state is pressed, and the locking release lever 23 rotates clockwise. Then, the upper end of the locking release lever 23 presses the lower end of the locking lever 20, and the locking lever 20 rotates counterclockwise, releasing the engagement between the upper end of the locking lever 20 and the step portion 19a of the locked portion 19. As a result, the movable foot 10b is swung forward with great force by the force of the stored coil spring 18, kicking out the ball 11 ( Figure 20B 、 Figure 20C ).

[0082] In this case, when the ball 11 placed on the ball holder 13 is located relatively close to the ball-kicking figure 10, the toe of the moving foot 10b of the ball-kicking figure 10 enters the lower side of the ball 11. Figure 20B In this case, the foot of the active foot 10b moves under the ball 11, rubbing and lifting the ball 11 with the inclined surface 102b. As a result, the ball 11 is kicked high and forward, turning rightward. On the other hand, when the ball 11 is relatively far from the kicking figure 10, the edge of the active foot 10b of the kicking figure 10 abuts near the center of the ball 11 in the vertical direction. Therefore, the ball 11 cannot be rubbed and lifted, and is kicked straight forward.

[0083] (Effects of the embodiment)

[0084] According to the above-described embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.

[0085] According to the above embodiment, the ball 11 is placed by fitting the fitting protrusion 13 b into the hole 11 a of the ball 11 , so that the ball 11 can be reliably and stably placed at a predetermined placement position.

[0086] Furthermore, according to the above embodiment, since the fitting protrusion 13b is conical, the fitting protrusion 13b can be easily fitted into the hole 11a by simply aligning the top of the fitting protrusion 13b with the hole 11a of the ball 11 and placing the ball 11.

[0087] Furthermore, according to the above embodiment, since the fitting protrusion 13b is conical, the ball 11 can be kicked out well when the movable foot 10b is brought into contact with the placed ball 11.

[0088] Furthermore, according to the above embodiment, since the ball holder 13 has the engaging protrusion 13b formed therein, a ball without an engaging recess (referred to as an irregular ball) cannot be placed in the area of the engaging protrusion 13b due to the interference of the engaging protrusion 13b. Furthermore, since the base 13a of the ball holder 13 is shaped like a mountain, even if an irregular ball is placed on the base 13a, it will roll and cannot be placed on the base 13a.

[0089] Furthermore, according to the above embodiment, by moving the ball holder 13, the contact point and contact situation of the movable foot 10b with the ball 11 can be changed, thereby enabling the trajectory of the kicked ball 11 to be varied. Specifically, in the ball-kicking figure 10 of the embodiment, as viewed from above, the trajectory of the movable foot 10b is from the right rear to the left front. Furthermore, the height of the movable foot 10b changes from high to low to high as it rotates. Furthermore, the rotation of the movable foot 10b also changes the direction of the toe. Thus, the contact point or contact pattern of the movable foot 10b with the ball 11 changes depending on the placement of the ball 11, enabling the kicking of the ball 11 in various trajectories. In particular, in a device provided with inclined surfaces 101b, 102b, and 103b, the trajectory of the ball 11 can be significantly varied because the ball 11 can be frictionally lifted depending on the placement of the ball 11.

[0090] Moreover, according to the above embodiment, since inclined surfaces 101b, 102b, and 103b whose heights gradually decrease from the instep toward the edge of the foot 100b are provided on the foot 100b of the moving foot 10b, the ball 11 can be frictionally lifted by the placement position of the ball 11, and a rotating and curved track can be formed on the ball 11.

[0091] (Variation)

[0092] As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was demonstrated, this invention is not limited to this embodiment, Various deformation|transformation is possible, of course.

[0093] In the above embodiment, the ball 11 is ejected by contacting the moving foot (striking part) 10b of the kicking figure 10 with the ball 11. However, the ball 11 may be ejected by using a hitting tool such as a baseball bat, racket, or golf club carried by the figure.

[0094] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the movable foot 10b of the ball-kicking figure 10 is locked by swinging it backward, and the lock is released to swing the movable foot 10b forward. However, the movable foot 10b can also be swung forward simply by manually swinging the movable foot 10b of the ball-kicking figure 10 backward and then releasing the hand. In this case, the figure 10 can also be provided with a launching mechanism, and the locking of the movable foot 10b can be released by operating an operating member attached to the figure 10. Alternatively, the movable foot 10b can be swung by a motor to store force in the coil spring 18, or the locking release member 23 that releases the locking of the swinging movable foot 10b can be actuated by a motor.

[0095] In the above embodiment, the ball holder 13 is configured to be movable along the upper surface of the base 12 . However, the ball holder 13 may be configured to be movable up and down within a range where the fitting protrusion 13 b is not buried from the upper surface of the base 12 .

[0096] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the ball holder 13 is configured to be movable along the upper surface of the base 12. However, the launching mechanism may be configured to be movable along the upper surface of the base 12 within the range where the foot of the movable leg 10b reaches the ball 11. Alternatively, the ball holder 13 and the launching mechanism may both be movable within the range where the foot of the movable leg 10b reaches the ball 11.

[0097] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the movement direction and range of the ball holder 13 are substantially parallel to the direction of the intersection line between the rotational surface of the movable leg 10b and the top surface of the base 12. However, the ball holder 13 may also be moved in the left-right direction in front of the ball-kicking figure 10, or in the front-back direction to the side of the ball-kicking figure 10. In this way, depending on the placement of the ball 11, various parts of the movable leg 10b can be brought into contact with the ball 11, thereby causing the trajectory of the kicked ball 11 to change in various ways.

[0098] Alternatively, the ball holder 13 may be attached to the base 12 via a magnet. Furthermore, the location where the ball holder 13 is attached may be changed.

[0099] Modifications have been described above, but these modifications can of course be combined with each other as long as there is no contradiction.
