[0023] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] 1. Overall structure of shooting toys

[0025] Figure 1 and Figure 2 This is a perspective view of the shooting toy 1 according to this embodiment. Figure 1 This is a diagram illustrating the firefighting training model described later. Figure 2 This is a diagram representing the fire station model described later. Figure 3 This is an exploded 3D view of shooting toy 1.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, shooting toy 1 can play a shooting game that imitates the fire-extinguishing activity of vehicle toy C.

[0027] Specifically, the shooting toy 1 includes a base unit 20, a shooting range unit 40 disposed on the base unit 20, and a launching device 60. The shooting range unit 40 and the launching device 60 are positioned on the base unit 20 around a central axis Ax in the vertical direction (see reference). Figure 4 ) rotate. Thus, the shooting toy 1 is configured to achieve a fire-fighting training mode M1 (where the launching device 60 is located on the front side of the base unit 20). Figure 1 The fire station mode M2 ​​(with the launching device 60 located on the rear side of the base unit 20) and the firing device 60 are located on the rear side of the base unit 20. Figure 2Additionally, in the following description, the directions of front, back, left, right, up, and down for the shooting toy 1 refer to the directions shown in the respective figures. Since the shooting range unit 40 and the launching device 60 are directional structures as described above, the state under the fire extinguishing training mode M1 will be described unless otherwise specified.

[0028] Furthermore, in the firing range unit 40, the open side of the firing range unit 40 in the plane perpendicular to the vertical direction is called the "front side F", and its opposite side is called the "back side B". The front side F corresponds to the front side in the fire extinguishing training mode M1, and the back side B corresponds to the rear side in the fire extinguishing training mode M1.

[0029] In addition, in the following explanation, the direction perpendicular to the central axis Ax will be called "radial", and the direction of rotation centered on the central axis Ax will be called "circumferential".

[0030] 2. Configuration of base unit

[0031] Figure 4 This is an exploded perspective view of base unit 20.

[0032] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the base unit 20 is formed in a generally flat plate shape and rotatably supports the firing range unit 40 and the launching device 60.

[0033] Specifically, the base unit 20 includes a base plate 21, a rotating gear 30, a rotating plate 22, and a first undulation control plate 23.

[0034] The substrate 21 is formed in a generally flat shape and has an upwardly opening recess 211 in the generally central part. The recess 211 is formed in a circle centered on the central axis Ax when viewed from above.

[0035] A ramp 212 sloping downwards is formed on the front side of the recess 211 in the base plate 21. As will be described later, the ramp 212 forms the path for the toy vehicle C to slide out of the parking platform 25.

[0036] An operating handle 213 is provided at the right end of the ramp 212 in the base plate 21, which is operated when the user (operator) rotates the firing range unit 40. A protrusion formed on the opposite side (left side) of the operating handle 213 in the base plate 21 relative to the ramp 212 is a pressing handle 21a for pressing down on the base unit 20 when the user rotates the operating handle 213.

[0037] In addition, the base plate 21 is equipped with a power switch 214 for switching the power on / off, a battery storage section 215 for storing batteries, and a speaker 216 for outputting sound. It also includes a control circuit for driving the shooting toy 1 and a control board (not shown) on which electronic components are installed.

[0038] The rotating gear 30 is formed in the shape of an annular plate and is housed in the recess 211 with the central axis Ax as the center and in a state orthogonal to the vertical direction. The rotating gear 30 is supported by a plurality of wheels 31 rotatably about the central axis Ax. The rotating gear 30 engages with the operating handle 213 via a connecting gear (not shown) and rotates about the central axis Ax as the operating handle 213 rotates.

[0039] The circumferential position (rotational position) of the rotating gear 30 is detected by two detection switches (contact switches) 35. The two detection switches 35 are positioned below the rotating gear 30 and respectively detect two protrusions (not shown) formed on the back (bottom) of the rotating gear 30. The two protrusions are located at different radial positions and have different circumferential extension ranges. Therefore, the circumferential position of the rotating gear 30 is detected based on the combination of the detection results from the two detection switches 35.

[0040] The rotating plate 22 is formed in the shape of a circular plate and is arranged to close the opening on the upper surface of the recess 211. The rotating plate 22 supports the cylindrical central portion 221 on the base plate 21 in a rotatable manner and is fixed to the rotating gear 30, rotating integrally with the rotating gear 30 around the central axis Ax. A plurality of pressure plates 223 are arranged on the periphery of the rotating plate 22 to prevent the rotating plate 22 from floating (falling upwards) and are fixed to the base plate 21.

[0041] The rotating plate 22 is locked in a predetermined circumferential position (rotation position) corresponding to the fire station mode M2 ​​and the fire training mode M1 by a locking component (not shown) held on the base plate 21.

[0042] A flat parking platform 25 is disposed on approximately the rear half of the upper surface of the rotating plate 22. Multiple (three in this embodiment) toy vehicles C can be arranged side-by-side on the upper surface of the parking platform 25. The parking platform 25 has support protrusions 251 protruding from the left and right sides of the rear end, allowing it to be rotatably supported on the rotating plate 22. A standing rod 252 protrudes from the left side of the parking platform 25. When the user operates the standing rod 252 to pull it rearward (rear side B), the parking platform 25 rotates around the support protrusions 251, causing the front side (front side F) to rise and stand up (tilt).

[0043] The first undulation control plate 23 is used to undulate the undulation component 43 of the firing range unit 40, which will be described later. The first undulation control plate 23 is formed in a generally flat plate shape and is disposed approximately at the center of the recess 211 in a plan view, orthogonal to the vertical direction. Specifically, as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the first undulation control plate 23 has a plurality of elongated guide holes 231 extending in the front-rear direction. In each guide hole 231, a cylindrical guide portion 225 erected on the lower surface of the rotating plate 22 is inserted from above in a manner that allows it to move along the guide hole 231. In addition, an elongated insertion hole 232 is formed at approximately the center of the first undulation control plate 23, through which the center portion 221 of the rotating plate 22 is inserted from above.

[0044] On the lower surface of the first undulation control plate 23, a roller support portion 233 supporting a cylindrical roller 26 is provided at the front end. The roller 26 is slidably (or rollably) fitted into a guide channel 217 formed on the base plate 21. The guide channel 217 is formed as a circular track eccentric from the central axis Ax in plan view, with its center P located in front of the central axis Ax.

[0045] According to this structure, the first undulation control plate 23 rotates and translates relative to the rotating plate 22 as the rotating plate 22 rotates.

[0046] Specifically, when the rotating plate 22 rotates about the central axis Ax, a rotational force in the same direction is applied to the first undulation control plate 23 through the guide portion 225 of the rotating plate 22. At this time, since the rotation of the first undulation control plate 23 is restricted within the guide channel 217 of the base plate 21 by the roller 26, it rotates about the center P of the guide channel 217. As a result, the first undulation control plate 23 rotates along with the rotating plate 22, rotating off-center from the rotation center of the rotating plate 22, and translates relative to the rotating plate 22. In this embodiment, as... Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, as the transition from fire training mode M1 to fire station mode M2 ​​occurs, the first undulation control panel 23 moves horizontally to the rear side B of the firing range unit 40 at a distance corresponding to the eccentricity.

[0047] Additionally, two connecting protrusions 234 are vertically arranged side-by-side in the left-right direction on the upper surface of the first undulation control plate 23. The connecting protrusions 234 protrude through the through hole 226 of the rotating plate 22 and extend above the rotating plate 22 (see reference). Figure 3 It is connected to the connecting member 46 of the shooting range unit 40, which will be described later. An opening 235, which is U-shaped in side view (viewed from the left and right direction), is formed at the front end (upper end) of the connecting protrusion 234. The connecting member 46 (connecting shaft 461) of the shooting range unit 40, which will be described later, is movably fitted into the opening 235 in the vertical direction.

[0048] 3. Configuration of the shooting range unit

[0049] Figure 7 This is an exploded 3D view of shooting range unit 40.

[0050] like Figure 7 As shown, the firing range unit 40 includes a support housing 41, a firing ramp 42, a second undulation control plate 45, and a connecting component 46. The firing range unit 40 is rotatably arranged on the base unit 20.

[0051] The support housing 41 supports the firing ramp 42 and houses the second undulation control plate 45 and the connecting member 46. The lower part of the support housing 41 is shaped to correspond to the rotating plate 22 of the base unit 20 and is fixed to the upper surface of the rotating plate 22. However, the rear part of the support housing 41 is configured to open the garage space 25S on the parking platform 25 of the base unit 20 to the rear (rear side B) (see reference). Figure 2 ).

[0052] The firing ramp 42 is disposed on the upper side of the support housing 41 and fixed to the support housing 41. The firing ramp 42 is formed as a ramp sloping forward and downward, having a ground surface 42a that is inclined relative to the vertical direction. The lower front end of the firing ramp 42 opens forward, and the surrounding area except for the lower end is covered by a wall.

[0053] On the ground 42a of the shooting ramp 42, there are multiple undulating parts 43 of different sizes and shapes that serve as targets for the shooting game.

[0054] Figure 8 This is a diagram used to illustrate the support structure of the undulating component 43.

[0055] Each undulating component 43 is formed in a roughly flat, flame-like shape and is supported by the firing ramp 42 in an undulating manner. Specifically, as... Figure 8 As shown, each undulating component 43 has two support shafts 431, a front foot 432, and a rear foot 433.

[0056] Two support shafts 431 are coaxially arranged on the left and right sides of the lower end of the undulating member 43. Each support shaft 431 is formed as a cylinder in the left-right direction and is rotatably supported on the bearing portion 421 of the firing ramp 42. A recess 42b corresponding to the shape of the undulating member 43 is formed on the ground 42a of the firing ramp 42, and bearing portions 421 are formed on the left and right sides of the lower end of the recess 42b. The upper opening of the bearing portion 421 is designed to allow the insertion of the support shaft 431, and an anti-dislodgement member is formed to prevent the support shaft 431 from falling off. A first locking portion 421a in the shape of a protrusion is formed on the bottom surface of either bearing portion 421 to lock the undulating member 43.

[0057] In the two support shafts 431, a second locking part 431a is formed on the side corresponding to the bearing part 421 having the first locking part 421a, which locks into the first locking part 421a of the bearing part 421. The first locking part 421a and the second locking part 431a are specifically designed to lock into each other to maintain the upright state of the undulating member 43 when transitioning from the fire training mode M1 to the fire station mode M2.

[0058] The undulating member 43 is configured to achieve two states: an upright state in which it undulates around the support shaft 431 and stands in a forward tilted posture relative to the vertical direction, and a collapsed state in which it lies on the ground 42a (inside the recess 42b) with its front end positioned on the height side of the ground 42a.

[0059] The front foot portion 432 is formed into a generally flat plate shape, protruding approximately vertically forward from the lower center of the undulating member 43. When the undulating member 43 is in the upright state, the front foot portion 432 abuts against the firing ramp 42, holding the undulating member 43 in the upright state. In addition, when in the upright state, the front foot portion 432 is disposed in the front recess 42c formed in the ground 42a of the firing ramp 42, for example, its upper surface is approximately flush with the ground 42a.

[0060] The rear foot 433 is formed in a generally flat shape and protrudes approximately vertically from the lower center of the undulating member 43 to the rear. The rear foot 433 is pressed down when standing up and is locked with the second undulating control plate 45 (the locking rib 453 described later) in the fire extinguishing training mode M1 to keep the undulating member 43 in the standing state.

[0061] like Figure 7 As shown, the second undulation control plate 45 is used to undulate the undulation member 43. The second undulation control plate 45 is formed as a flat plate and is held on the lower side of the firing ramp 42 in a state parallel to the firing ramp 42 (i.e., tilted forward and downward). A plurality of elongated support holes 451 are formed on the second undulation control plate 45. In each support hole 451, a cylindrical support shaft (not shown) erected on the lower surface of the firing ramp 42 is inserted from the top in a manner that allows it to move along the support hole 451.

[0062] Multiple pressing recesses 452 corresponding to multiple undulation components 43 are formed on the upper surface of the second undulation control plate 45. The pressing recesses 452 are used to press the rear foot 433 of the undulation component 43 to make the undulation component 43 stand up. Specifically, the pressing recesses 452 are formed at the position corresponding to the rear foot 433 of the corresponding undulation component 43, at the left and right center position of the front side of the recess 42b of the firing ramp 42, and are connected to the inside of the recess 42b through a through hole 42d formed on the bottom surface of the recess 42b (see reference). Figure 8When the second undulation control plate 45 is located on the front side F, and the undulation member 43 is tilted, the rear foot 433 of the undulation member 43 is received in the pressing recess 452.

[0063] On the left and right center of the rear side within the pressing recess 452, there is a roughly flat locking rib 453 orthogonal to the left and right direction. The locking rib 453 locks the rear foot 433 of the undulating component 43. The locking rib 453 and the rear foot 433 lock each other in the fire extinguishing training mode M1 to keep the undulating component 43 in an upright state.

[0064] The connecting component 46 connects the second undulation control plate 45 to the first undulation control plate 23 of the base unit 20, enabling them to move together. The connecting component 46 is disposed at the lower center of the second undulation control plate 45 and fixed to the second undulation control plate 45. The connecting component 46 has a connecting shaft 461 in the lower part along the left-right direction. The connecting shaft 461 is connected to two connecting protrusions 234 of the first undulation control plate 23 of the base unit 20. Specifically, the connecting shaft 461 is movably fitted into the openings 235 of the two connecting protrusions 234 in the up-down direction.

[0065] 4. Structure of the launching device

[0066] Figure 9 and Figure 10 These are exploded perspective and top view of the launching device 60. Figures 11 to 13 yes Figure 10 A cross-sectional view of the transmitting device 60 for lines III-III, IV-IV and VV. Figure 14 This is a three-dimensional view of the interior of the launching device 60 as seen from a slightly lower angle. Figure 15 This is a front view of the launching device 60 as viewed from the front side in the direction of emission.

[0067] Furthermore, in the following description of the launching device 60, in a plane orthogonal to the vertical direction, the side facing the launching direction S of the vehicle toy C is designated as the front, and the opposite direction is designated as the rear. That is, the description is reversed from that of the base unit 20 and the firing range unit 40 described above. The direction based on this launching direction S is marked with () in the figure. Additionally, in Figure 9 Subsequently, the left and right exterior parts 70 of the launching device 60 that do not have special functions are omitted (see reference). Figure 3 A diagram of its installation structure.

[0068] like Figure 1 As shown, the launching device 60 is located at the lower end of the front side F of the firing range unit 40, and launches the vehicle toy C on the firing ramp 42.

[0069] Specifically, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, the launching device 60 includes a housing 61, a pair of left and right walking plates 63, an ejection part 65, and a mounting part 69.

[0070] The housing 61 has an upper surface that is tilted upwards as it faces forward.

[0071] A pair of walking plates 63 are the firing channels for the vehicle toy C, which serves as the ejector, and are arranged side by side, corresponding to the left and right wheels of the vehicle toy C. Each walking plate 63 is formed as a long, generally flat plate, and is inclined upwards along the firing ramp 42 as it faces forward.

[0072] The front end of each walking plate 63 is rotatably supported on the housing 61. Specifically, the front end of each walking plate 63 is rotatably supported about a rotation axis 611 in the left-right direction, and the rear end swings up and down.

[0073] Each walking plate 63 is stressed by a force-applying spring (not shown). This force-applying spring is located below the rear of each walking plate 63 and between it and the housing 61, applying force to the walking plate 63 in a rearward upward direction. However, the structure for applying force to the walking plate 63 is not particularly limited.

[0074] Each walking plate 63 has a rearwardly protruding locking protrusion 632 formed at its rear end. The locking protrusion 632 is inserted through the through hole 61a at the rear end of the housing 61 and locked onto the housing 61 to prevent the rear end of the walking plate 63 from rising above a predetermined amount.

[0075] With this structure, each walking plate 63, in its normal state when nothing is placed on it, is in a state where its rear end floats above the housing 61 by a predetermined amount. Therefore, when the vehicle toy C, which is the ejector body, is placed on it and its weight is applied, each walking plate 63 moves downward in a manner where its rear end sinks.

[0076] In addition, a limiting component 64 is fixed on each walking plate 63.

[0077] A limiting member 64 is fixed to the lower rear surface of each walking plate 63 and disposed within the housing 61. The limiting member 64 has an arm 641 extending laterally in the left-right direction. As described later, the arm 641 restricts the ejection action of the ejection section 65 when the pair of walking plates 63 are not lowered by contacting (interfering) with the locking member 67 fixed on the ejection section 65. In addition, the limiting member 64 may of course be integrally formed with the walking plate 63 (e.g., integrally molded), or it may be separately formed and indirectly linked to the walking plate 63.

[0078] A convex member 68 is disposed between a pair of walking plates 63 in the housing 61. The convex member 68 has a triangular protrusion 681 in frontal view, which is positioned higher as it moves toward the center in the left-right direction, and is arranged to protrude upwards more than the walking surfaces of the pair of walking plates 63.

[0079] Furthermore, the protrusion 681 preferably protrudes upwards from the walking surfaces of the pair of walking plates 63. Regarding its cross-sectional shape, in order to guide the placed object to the pair of walking plates 63, in addition to a triangular shape, a semi-circular shape, a pentagonal shape, or other upward-protruding shapes are preferred. Furthermore, the protrusion 681 is preferably convex along each walking plate 63, but it is not limited to this and may also be conical, pyramidal, hemispherical, or other shapes.

[0080] The ejection section 65 is disposed on the rear side of a pair of walking plates 63, and ejects the vehicle toy C, which is placed on the pair of walking plates 63, along the pair of walking plates 63 in the ejection direction S. The front (rear side B) end face of the ejection section 65 becomes the ejection surface 651, which supports the back of the vehicle toy C placed on the pair of walking plates 63 and ejects it. The ejection section 65 is supported on the housing 61 in a manner that allows it to move relative to the housing 61 in the ejection direction S. An operating lever (operating part) 652 for receiving the user's ejection operation is integrally formed at the front end of the ejection section 65.

[0081] like Figure 9 , Figure 11 , Figure 14 As shown, the ejection section 65 is subjected to force in the ejection direction S along the walking plate 63 by two force-applying components 66. Each force-applying component 66 in this embodiment is a helical spring, positioned below and to the left and right of each walking plate 63, along the extending direction of the walking plate 63. The front end of each force-applying component 66 is fixed to the housing 61, and the rear end is connected to the ejection section 65 via a locking component 67. The locking component 67 is positioned to the left and right of the force-applying component 66, locking the force-applying component 66 at its rear end, and is fixed to the ejection section 65, moving in conjunction with the ejection section 65. Therefore, by overcoming the force of the two force-applying components 66, the user pulls the operating lever 652 of the ejection section 65 closer and then releases it, thereby using the force of the force-applying components 66 to eject the vehicle toy C.

[0082] In addition, such as Figure 12As shown, the locking member 67 is an example of the interference member of this invention, which, together with the aforementioned limiting member 64, restricts the movement of the ejection unit 65. The locking member 67 and the limiting member 64 constitute the limiting part of this invention, restricting the ejection movement of the ejection unit 65 when a predetermined weight is not applied to both of the pair of walking plates 63. Specifically, the locking member 67 and the limiting member 64 release the restriction on the movement of the ejection unit 65 when the vehicle toy C is placed on the pair of walking plates 63 and both of the walking plates 63 move downwards.

[0083] More specifically, as described above, each walking plate 63 floats up at its rear end in its normal state when nothing is mounted on it. At this time, the restraining member 64 fixed to the walking plate 63 is located at the height where the arm 641 interferes with the locking member 67. Figure 12 (The position of the double-dotted line). The height at which it interferes with the locking member 67 refers to its position behind the locking member 67 in the firing direction S. At this time, because the locking member 67 interferes with the arm 641 of the limiting member 64, the firing part 65, which is fixed to the locking member 67, cannot move backward, thereby limiting the firing action. This limiting action is performed on the left and right walking plates 63, which operate independently. Therefore, if at least one of the pair of walking plates 63 does not move downward as required, the walking plate 63 that does not move downward contacts (interferes with) the locking member 67, thereby limiting the action of the firing part 65.

[0084] On the other hand, when the vehicle toy C is placed on both sides of a pair of walking boards 63 and a prescribed weight is applied, each restraining member 64 moves downward together with each walking board 63, and as a result, the arms 641 of each restraining member 64 descend to a height that does not interfere with each locking member 67. Figure 12 (The position of the solid line). That is, when the vehicle toy C is placed on a pair of walking boards 63 and both of the pair of walking boards 63 move downwards, the restriction on the firing action of the firing part 65 is lifted.

[0085] Furthermore, the limiting part of this invention can limit the firing action of the firing part 65 when a predetermined weight is not applied to both of the pair of walking boards 63. The object subject to the predetermined weight is not limited to the firing object (vehicle toy C). In addition, the weight balance applied to the pair of walking boards 63 is not particularly limited, as long as a certain weight is applied to each walking board 63.

[0086] In addition, such as Figure 15As shown, the injection portion 65 has a hole 653 formed on the injection surface 651 that is ejected when the vehicle toy C is pressed. The hole 653 extends from the injection surface 651 to its opposite side (rear side). In this embodiment, the hole 653 is formed in the lower part of the injection surface 651, and its width narrows vertically from the center in the left-right direction.

[0087] Even when an object other than a toy vehicle C, such as a coin, is placed on a pair of walking boards 63, the object can fall to the rear through the hole 653.

[0088] Furthermore, the shape of the opening of the hole 653 on the injection surface 651 is not particularly limited as long as it can at least press the vehicle toy C.

[0089] like Figure 9 and Figure 13 As shown, the mounting part 69 is the portion on which the launching device 60 is mounted on the base unit 20. The launching device 60 is detachably mounted on the rotating plate 22 of the base unit 20 and is supported so as to rotate left and right (shake) within a predetermined range. The base unit 20 is an example of the firing range of this utility model.

[0090] Specifically, the mounting part 69 is a part provided at the lower part of the launching device 60, including a cover part 691, a loading and unloading part 694, and a rotating part 696.

[0091] The cover member 691 is formed in a generally flat shape, closing the lower opening of the housing 61. A guide shaft 692 is erected on the front of the lower surface of the cover member 691. The guide shaft 692 engages with an arc-shaped guide groove 227 formed on the rotating plate 22 of the base unit 20, limiting the range of motion of the neck of the launching device 60 (see reference). Figure 3 ).

[0092] The mounting / unmounting part 694 is formed in the shape of a short cylinder and is fixed to the center of the lower surface of the cover member 691. The mounting / unmounting part 694 is fitted into a cylindrical hole 228 formed in the rotating plate 22 of the base unit 20. The mounting / unmounting part 694 is detachably mounted on the rotating plate 22 via a latch (not shown) provided in the cylindrical hole 228 (see reference). Figure 3 ).

[0093] A rotating member 696 is disposed below one of the locking members 67 within the housing 61 and mounted on top of the cover member 691. The rotating member 696 is an example of the second limiting part of this invention. The rotating member 696 is formed in the shape of a bent rod, and its central portion is rotatably supported on the cover member 691 about an axis in the left-right direction. As it rotates, the rotating member 696 is configured to tilt forward and upward, such that its front end (upper end) can protrude into the locking recess 671 of the locking member 67, and its rear end (lower end) can protrude into the protrusion hole 693 formed in the cover member 691. Furthermore, a torsion spring 697 is disposed around the axis at the center of rotation of the rotating member 696, which raises the upper end and lowers the lower end. Figure 13 Apply force in a clockwise direction.

[0094] With this structure, when the launching device 60 is not mounted on the base unit 20 and the firing part 65 is not operated, the upper end of the rotating member 696 is located within the locking recess 671 of the locking member 67, and the lower end protrudes downward from the exit hole 693 of the cover member 691. In this state, since the rotating member 696 restricts the movement of the locking member 67, the firing part 65 cannot move in the front side F direction, thereby restricting the firing action of the firing part 65.

[0095] When the loading / unloading part 694 is fitted into the cylindrical hole 228 and the launching device 60 is installed on the rotating plate 22 of the base unit 20, the arc-shaped pressing rib 229 (see top view) erected on the rotating plate 22 appears to be a flat surface. Figure 3 Press the lower end of the rotating component 696 upwards. The rotating component 696 then rotates, and its upper end disengages from the locking recess 671 of the locking component 67. Figure 13 (The state of the double-dotted line). As a result, the movement restriction of the ejection section 65 is lifted.

[0096] 5. How to play with shooting toys

[0097] An example of how to play with the shooting toy 1 is explained.

[0098] In addition, here we assume that the shooting toy 1 is in fire station mode M2, and the vehicle toy C is placed on the parking platform 25, with all the undulating parts 43 in an upright state.

[0099] In the shooting toy 1 of the fire station mode M2, when the user (operator) turns on the power switch 214, for example, a sound urging to switch to the fire extinguishing training mode M1 is output from the speaker 216, such as "An emergency has occurred, please proceed to the training area." The user operates the lifting lever 252 of the parking platform 25 to raise (tilt) the parking platform 25, causing the vehicle toy C to move. The vehicle toy C on the parking platform 25 travels forward on the ramp 212 of the parking platform 25 and the base plate 21.

[0100] Here, if the user installs the removed launcher 60 onto the rotating plate 22 of the base unit 20, the pressing rib 229 of the rotating plate 22 will press upwards the lower end of the rotating component 696 exposed on the lower surface of the launcher 60. As a result, the rotating component 696 rotates, and its upper end disengages from the locking recess 671 of the locking component 67, thus releasing the restriction on the movement of the firing part 65. Figure 3 , Figure 13 ).

[0101] Next, when the user rotates the operating handle 213 of the base plate 21 in the specified direction, the rotating gear 30, which meshes with the operating handle 213, rotates around the central axis Ax. Consequently, the rotating plate 22, fixed to the rotating gear 30, also rotates, and the firing range unit 40 and firing device 60 on the rotating plate 22 rotate, transitioning to the fire extinguishing training mode M1. During the transition, dedicated music is output from the speaker 216. The completion of the transition to the fire extinguishing training mode M1 is detected by detecting the circumferential position of the rotating gear 30 via the detection switch 35.

[0102] At this time, as the transition to fire extinguishing training mode M1 occurs, the second undulation control plate 45 moves to the front side F, and becomes locked between the rear foot 433 of the undulation component 43 and the locking rib 453 of the second undulation control plate 45.

[0103] When the transition to fire extinguishing training mode M1 is detected as complete, the music during the transition stops, and a broadcast sound announcing the start of fire extinguishing training is output from speaker 216.

[0104] In the fire extinguishing training mode M1, the user uses the launching device 60 to fire a toy vehicle C at the shooting range unit 40 to play a shooting game that simulates the undulating parts 43 of flames.

[0105] Here, when the vehicle toy C is placed on the launching device 60, if the vehicle toy C is placed with the left and right wheels respectively mounted on a pair of walking plates 63, a predetermined weight is applied to both of the pair of walking plates 63. As a result, both of the pair of walking plates 63 move downwards by a predetermined amount, the limiting member 64 and the locking member 67 no longer interfere, and the movement restriction of the launching part 65 is released. Figure 12 ).

[0106] Then, the user pulls the operating lever 652 of the ejection section 65 to the front and releases it, thereby ejecting the vehicle toy C into the undulating part 43.

[0107] When the toy vehicle C hits the undulating component 43, and the force at this point is stronger than the locking force that keeps the undulating component 43 upright, the undulating component 43 will fall over. The locking force that keeps the undulating component 43 upright includes not only the locking force of the rear foot 433 of the undulating component 43 and the locking rib 453 of the second undulating control plate 45, but also the locking force of the first locking part 421a of the shooting ramp 42 and the second locking part 431a of the undulating component 43.

[0108] When the user finishes fire training, a voice prompting the transition to fire station mode M2 ​​is output from speaker 216, such as "Thank you for your hard work, please return to the fire station." Therefore, when the user rotates the operating handle 213, the firing range unit 40 and the firing device 60 on the rotating plate 22 rotate to transition to fire station mode M2, just as when transitioning to fire training mode M1.

[0109] At this time, as the transition to fire station mode M2 ​​occurs, the second undulation control panel 45 moves to the rear side B, and all undulation components 43 stand up. During the transition to this standing state, the second locking part 431a of the undulation component 43 passes over the first locking part 421a of the firing ramp 42 and locks onto the first locking part 421a, and the undulation component 43 remains in the standing state.

[0110] When the transition to fire station mode M2 ​​is detected as complete, a sound such as "Please put the vehicle in the garage" is output from speaker 216. The user places the vehicle toy C on the parking platform 25, ending the shooting game on the shooting toy 1.

[0111] 6. Technical effects of this embodiment

[0112] As described above, according to this embodiment, the movement of the ejection portion 65 of the vehicle toy (ejector) C ejected along the walking board 63 is restricted when a predetermined weight is not applied to both of the pair of walking boards 63.

[0113] Therefore, the firing action of the firing section 65 can be limited to situations where a predetermined weight is applied to both sides of the pair of walking plates 63. Thus, the firing function of the firing device 60 can be appropriately limited.

[0114] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, when the vehicle toy C is placed on a pair of walking boards 63 and the weight of the vehicle toy C is applied, and both of the pair of walking boards 63 move downwards, the restriction on the movement of the ejection section 65 is lifted.

[0115] Therefore, for example, only when a specified vehicle toy C is placed on a pair of walking boards 63 can the vehicle toy C be ejected by the ejection unit 65. At this time, in addition to the weight of the vehicle toy C, the shape on the pair of walking boards 63 can also be set as the ejection condition (limit release condition).

[0116] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the locking member (interference member) 67, which moves in conjunction with the ejection section 65, contacts the walking plate 63 that has not moved downward when at least one of the pair of walking plates 63 has not moved downward by the required amount, thereby restricting the movement of the ejection section 65.

[0117] Therefore, the ejection action of the ejection unit 65 can be restricted by interfering with the locking component 67 and the walking plate 63 (restriction component 64) in a relatively simple structure.

[0118] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, a protrusion 681 that protrudes upwards from the walking surface of the pair of walking plates 63 is disposed between the pair of walking plates 63.

[0119] Therefore, in an object that cannot cross the protrusion 681 and is placed on both sides of a pair of walking plates 63, the restriction on the movement of the ejection section 65 cannot be lifted because weight is applied only to one of the walking plates 63. That is, such an object can be ejected from the object ejector.

[0120] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the portion of the ejection section 65 from which the vehicle toy C is ejected has a hole 653 extending to the side opposite to the ejection surface 651 that presses the vehicle toy C.

[0121] Therefore, even when an object other than a toy vehicle C, such as a coin, is placed on the pair of walking boards 63, the object can fall to the rear through the hole 653. Thus, it is possible to prevent the accidental ejection of small objects such as coins, or the object from blocking the ejection part 65.

[0122] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, when the launching device 60 is not mounted on the base unit 20, the operation of the ejection unit 65 is restricted by the rotating member (second limiting part) 696.

[0123] Therefore, it is possible to limit the accidental firing of the launching device 60 when it is not mounted on the base unit 20.

[0124] 7. Other

[0125] The embodiments of this utility model have been described above, but this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments.

[0126] For example, in the above embodiments, a shooting toy was described as an example of the launching device of this utility model. However, this utility model can be used as long as the projectile is launched along the walking board, and its application is not limited to shooting games.

[0127] Furthermore, the projectile of this invention is not particularly limited to vehicle toys; as long as it is mounted on each walking board and can be launched, there are no particular limitations. For example, it can also be a model that imitates a quadrupedal animal.

[0128] Furthermore, the details shown in the above embodiments may be appropriately modified without departing from the spirit of the utility model.
