Cap firing toy

Abstract

This article is provided with a launching mechanism for ejecting a synthetic resin cap used for a PET bottle or a beverage bottle, and an extrusion mechanism for pushing out the cap, as shown in a reference perspective view showing the usage state, a reference plan view (1) showing the usage state, a reference plan view (2) showing the usage state, a reference plan view (3) showing the usage state, and a reference plan view (4) showing the usage state. The launching mechanism is composed of an elastic member in an arc shape as a whole that can expand and contract in diameter by its own elasticity around the outer peripheral surface of the cap. A storage portion for the cap is formed at an inner position of the elastic member. The opposing gap between the open both ends of the elastic member is formed to allow the passage of the cap in the expanded diameter state of the elastic member and to block the passage of the cap in the contracted diameter state. The extrusion mechanism is composed of an extrusion member for pushing out the cap from the opposing gap between the open both ends of the elastic member against the self-elasticity of the elastic member, and a pulling-back member for pulling back the extrusion member. The pulling-back member is formed by a leaf spring member that pulls back the extrusion member by its own elasticity. The leaf spring member is formed in an annular shape as a whole. For example, this article is placed on a table, the cap is stored and arranged in the storage portion at the inner position of the elastic member, the cap is pushed out from the opposing gap between the open both ends of the elastic member by the extrusion member, and by further pushing out the extrusion member, the extrusion member shifts from the expanded diameter state to the contracted diameter state by its own elasticity. Due to the shift from the expanded diameter state to the contracted diameter state, the cap is pushed out and ejected from the opposing gap between the open both ends by the self-elasticity of the elastic member. The extrusion member is pulled back by the pulling-back member, and the pulling-back member returns to the initial state by its own elasticity. By these manual operations, the cap is ejected, and it is mainly a cap launching toy used as a launching toy for infants and children.
