[Technical field]

[0001] To provide a new mechanism for a top in which the core rod and the rotating body can be separated and the rotating body can be inserted into and removed from the core rod.

[0002] The rotating body is provided with a cylindrical thread winding section on the upper part thereof for winding a thread for rotating the rotating body.

[0003] The lower part of the core rod is provided with a stopper seat that receives a cylindrical rotating seat provided at the lower part of the rotor, and the lower convex part of the stopper seat has a grounding end and the upper convex part has a gripping part.

[0004] The present invention relates to a mechanism for changing the appearance of a rotating body, which allows a lightweight rotating body with a different compatible external design to be inserted into the core rod and rotated.

[0005] The present invention relates to a new mechanism for stacking three rotors in a row, in which rotors are inserted into the core rod and then further inserted into two or three rows. [Background technology]

[0006] In conventional literature, tops are described as having a core rod and a rotating body that are one unit, or a core rod that is pressed into the rotating body, and the rotating body and core rod are integrated with bearings. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0007] The core 1 and the rotating body 11 of the top are separated, the core 1 and the rotating body 11 are in contact with each other, the rotating body 11 can be inserted into and removed from the core 1, and sufficient spinning performance is obtained. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] The core rod 1 and the rotor 11 are separated, and an insertion hole 9 is provided in the center of the rotor 11, which has a rotational contact with the core rod 1 and also has a contact structure that includes rotation between the rotating seat 14 at the bottom of the rotor 11 and the retaining seat 2 at the bottom of the core rod 1, making it possible to insert the rotor 11 into the core rod 1 and remove it from it.

[0009] A cylindrical thread winding section 10 mechanism having a thread winding width for winding a thread 15 for rotating the rotor 11 is provided on the upper portion of the rotor 11 to rotate the rotor 11 strongly.

[0010] A locking seat 2 with a locking pin 7 pressed into a pin hole 8 at the bottom of the core rod 1 is provided, and a rotating seat 14 is received at the bottom of the rotating body 11. The locking seat 2 has a grounding end 6 at its lower convex portion, and a gripping portion 4 is provided at its upper convex portion.

[0011] The rotor 11 is removed from the core rod 1, and a changeable rotor 20 having a different external design and a particularly light mass (weight) is inserted, and a clearance groove 21 is provided in the center of the insertion hole 9 of the changeable rotor 20.

[0012] A rotating body 11 is inserted into the core rod 1, and then a stacked rotating body A 23 and a stacked rotating body B 26 are inserted in two and three stages in this three-stage top. A wax-coated portion 5 is provided on the upper part of the retaining seat 2 of the core rod 1 to improve sliding. Effect of the Invention

[0013] The spinning top's core 1 and rotating body 11 are separated, the gripping part 4 of the core 1 is grasped, the rotation string 15 is wound around the thread winding part 10 of the rotating body 11, the rotation string 15 is pulled in a direction perpendicular to the core 1 to rotate only the rotating body 11, and the gripping part 4 is released on the palm 18, and the core 1 also rotates due to the rotational resistance of the rotating body 11, allowing children to play with the spinning top on the palm 18.

[0014] The stop seat 2 of the core rod 1 is in a set position with the rotation seat 14 of the rotor 11 and also serves as a rotation contact surface. By pressing the stop pin 7 into the pin hole 8 of the core rod 1, the stop seat 2 with low contact resistance can be set, resulting in good rotation performance and enabling the rotor 11 to be easily removed. Furthermore, a clearance groove 21 is provided in the center of the insertion hole 9 of the lightweight dress-up rotor 20, allowing the insertion of the dress-up rotor 20 with improved sliding resistance, allowing children to play with the top on the palm of their hand 18 in the same manner as above.

[0015] The insertion hole 9 of the core rod 1 and the rotating body 11 is the rotating sliding part, and by applying a wax coating 5 to the upper part of the stop seat 2 of the core rod 1, the sliding resistance is improved and strong rotation is obtained. Therefore, the overlapping rotating bodies A23, B26 can be inserted in order into the core rod 1 of the top which is spinning strongly on the palm 18, and the three-stage hand-held top play leads to a top play that enhances the agility and concentration of children.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0017] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0018] As shown in Figure 1, the core rod 1 is made of wood (metal, etc. is also acceptable), the lower pin hole 8 is drilled at a right angle to the core rod 1 and a stop pin 7 is pressed into it, a stop seat 2 is provided on both sides of the outer diameter of the core rod 1 with the same convex length, the lower convex part of the stop seat 2 has a downward conical grounding end 6 that contacts the ground, and the upper convex part forms the sliding surface between the gripping part 4 and the inner surface of the insertion hole 9 of the rotor 11, a wax-coated portion 5 is provided on the outer surface of the core rod 1 to reduce resistance, and the very tip is provided with an upward conical end 3 for ease of insertion when inserting it through the insertion hole 9 of the rotor 11.

[0019] As shown in Figure 2, the rotating body 11 is made of wood, just like the core rod 1. An insertion hole 9 is provided in the center of the rotating body 11, and the core rod 1 is inserted into it. The inner diameter surface of the insertion hole 9 is the sliding surface with the outer diameter of the core rod 1, forming a rotational gap of approximately 0.3 mm. The insertion hole length 13 is approximately 40 mm to suppress rotational resistance, rotational wear strength, and tipping of the core rod 1 due to the radial gap of 0.3 mm. The upper cylindrical thread winding section 10 has a winding width set so that a certain amount of thread can be wound in order to ensure rotational force. The lower rotating seat 14 is the contact part with the stop seat 2 of the core rod 1, and the cylindrical rotating seat 14 is formed to be approximately 3 mm larger on one side than the inner diameter of the insertion hole 9 (approximately 6 mm in diameter) based on the contact surface strength and contact resistance.

[0020] FIG. 3 shows the rotor 11 and the core rod 1 before insertion, and the arrow indicates a method of inserting the rotor 11.

[0021] As shown in FIG. 4, when the rotor 11 is inserted up to the retaining seat 2 of the core rod 1, it is in contact with the retaining seat 2 of the core rod 1, and therefore the rotor 11 can be easily removed in the direction of the arrow.

[0022] As shown in Figure 5, the rotation thread 15 is wound around the thread winding section 10 of the cylindrical part of the rotating body 11. The thread tip 16 of the rotation thread 15 is set in the thread winding section 10 parallel to the core rod 1, and while using the thread presser 17, the thread is wound around the thread winding section 10 by pressing down from above the thread tip 16. The thread is wound close to the rotating upper surface 12 of the thread winding section 10. The gripping section 4 of the core rod 1 is grasped and the grounding end 6 of the core rod 1 is grounded. The rotation thread 15 is pulled in a direction perpendicular to the core rod 1, and only the rotating body 11 is rotated by the rotating sliding surface between the wax-coated section 5 of the core rod 1 and the insertion hole 9 of the rotating body 11.

[0023] As shown in Figure 6, when gripping the handle 4 of the core 1, the core 1 is stationary, but the rotating body 11 rotates in the rotational gap between it and the core 1. In this state, if you move the grip 4 of the core 1 up onto the palm 18 and release it, the core 1 and the rotating body 11 will start to rotate at almost the same speed, creating a top that can be held in the palm of your hand.

[0024] As shown in Figure 7, when the gripping portion 4 of the core 1 is grasped again, the core 1 stops, but the rotating body 11 rotates in the rotational gap between it and the core 1. If the gripping portion 4 is moved to the fingertip 19 and released, the core 1 and rotating body 11 begin to rotate almost in unison on the fingertip 19, creating a top-like motion.

[0025] As shown in Figure 8, a rotor 11 is inserted into a core rod 1, and after rotational play, the rotor 11 is removed and a disposable rotor 20 with a different external design is inserted. All parts related to rotation are compatible with the core rod 1, but the difference is that the external shape is reminiscent of Mount Fuji. Because of its light weight, a clearance groove 21 is provided in the center of the insertion hole 9 to provide a mechanism for low rotational resistance.

[0026] As shown in Figure 9, after inserting the dress-up rotating body 20 into the core 1, rotate the dress-up rotating body 20 as in Figure 5, and then grasp the core 1 as in Figure 6, move it onto the palm 18 and release the gripping part 4, and the dress-up top spins on the palm of the hand.

[0027] The stacked rotating body A23 shown in Figure 10 has an insertion hole A22 in the center, and the rotational gap with the core rod 1 is set to be the same as that of the rotating body 11. It is stacked on top of the rotating body 11, and since the stacked rotating body A23 rotates on top of the core rod 1, its outer diameter and weight are smaller and lighter than those of the rotating body 11, and this is a configuration diagram that takes into consideration stability of rotation.

[0028] The stacked rotating body B26 shown in FIG. 11 has an insertion hole B25 in the center, the rotation gap with the core rod 1 is set to be the same as that of the rotating body 11, and the stacked rotating body B26 is smaller and lighter than the stacked rotating body A23, with consideration given to stability of rotation.

[0029] The three-tiered top shown in Figure 12 is in the hand-held top state as shown in Figure 6. When stacked rotating body A23 is inserted into the conical end of core 1, the rotational force is transmitted from core 1 and rotating body 11, and the top spins as a two-tiered top. When stacked rotating body B26 is further inserted, the rotational force is transmitted from core 1 and stacked rotating body A23, and the three-tiered top is completed. This is a diagram showing the configuration. [Explanation of symbols]
