DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0017] (First embodiment) Hereinafter, a performance output toy 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the whole of a performance output toy 1 according to the first embodiment.

[0018] As shown in Fig. 1, the performance output toy 1 is broadly composed of a main toy body 10 (hereinafter referred to as "sword 10") in the shape of a sword having a grip 12 and a blade 11, and a secondary toy body 30 (hereinafter referred to as "book 30") in the shape of a rectangular book having identification information. The performance output toy 1 is played with by attaching the book 30 to the main toy body 10 in the shape of a sword used by a fighting hero, for example. The toy is playable by attaching the book 30 to, for example, a first attachment part 22 (see Fig. 4) on the upper side of the sword 10 and a second attachment part 23 (see Fig. 5) on the left side of the sword 10 (the left and right when the sword 10 is held with the tip facing forward). A toy that can be played with by attaching the book 30 to and detaching it from the first attachment part 22 (see Fig. 4) on the upper side of the sword 10 and another attachment part, a second attachment part 23 (see Fig. 5) on the left side of the sword 10 (the left and right when the sword 10 is held with the tip facing forward).

[0019] In the following description, when describing the orientation of the components of the performance output toy 1, the orientation basically refers to the orientation of the sword 10 as viewed by the user when the user holds the grip 12 of the sword 10 in his / her hand with the tip facing forward and the blade 11 (in the case of a double-edged type, the operation trigger is facing down) facing up or down. For example, the up-down direction is referred to as the up direction, down direction, or upper side or lower side, and the left-right direction is referred to as the left direction, right direction, left side side, right side, or even the thickness direction of the sword. Furthermore, the front-rear direction is referred to as the front of the sword, the rear of the sword, the front side, the rear side, or even the tip side or tip direction of the sword. Furthermore, regarding the orientation of the book 30, since the book shape is a rectangular parallelepiped, the direction of the longest side of the three sides of the rectangular parallelepiped is referred to as the vertical or vertical direction, the direction of the middle side is referred to as the width direction, and the direction of the shortest side is referred to as the thickness direction.

[0020] FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the book 30, and FIG. As shown in Fig. 2, the book 30 includes a main body 30b and an opening / closing part 30a that can be opened and closed via a hinge part 30h having an opening / closing shaft 30sf with respect to the main body 30b. The opening / closing part 30a is biased in its rotational direction by a torsion spring 38t arranged between the main body 30b and the opening / closing part 30a. For example, the opening / closing part 30a is configured in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape imitating the shape of a book that can be automatically opened and spread out by operating the second start button 38f. In addition, a vertical groove 30g is provided on the end surface opposite to the side where the opening / closing shaft 30sf is provided, which runs along the longitudinal direction of the end surface and opens on the bottom surface 30bb side of the book 30.

[0021] When the opening and closing part 30a of the book 30 is opened, a page appears. For example, an image of a specific character or special information can be displayed on this page. The book 30 also includes an IC tag in which identification information unique to the book is recorded.

[0022] As shown in Fig. 3, the bottom surface 30bb of the main body 30b of the book 30 is provided with, as start buttons (start sections) for starting the performance of the book 30, for example, a first start button 36b and a third start button 37 which are sound buttons, and a second start button 38f for opening the opening / closing section 30a. In short, the first start button 36b and the third start button 37 output sound based on predetermined information in the book. Also, the second start button 38f is configured to automatically open the opening / closing section 30a when pressed.

[0023] FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the sword 10 in the performance output toy 1 as viewed from the right side, and FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the sword 10 as viewed from the left side. As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the sword 10 has a structure including, for example, a single-edged blade section 11, a grip section 12, and the first and second attachment sections 22 and 23 as attachment sections for the book 30 as described above. This sword 10 is equipped with an internal detector, power source, and control section (not shown) capable of detecting information on the book 30. When the book 30 is attached to the second attachment section 23, the detection section can read the identification information held by the book 30. When the book 30 is attached to the first attachment section 22, the game is played in the same way as when the identification information of the book 30 is not read.

[0024] The sword 10 is provided with a power switch and an operating trigger 16 on its exterior as parts to be operated. The operating trigger 16 is provided on the front side of the grip 12 so that it can be operated with the fingertips while holding the grip 12.

[0025] The placement of the sound output unit is not particularly limited, but may be placed, for example, at the widest part of the blade portion 11. The light output unit may be, for example, a light source such as an LED placed at an appropriate position on the blade portion 11 to make the sword 10 glow.

[0026] As shown in Fig. 4, the first mounting section 22 is provided on the upper side of the sword 10 (the upper side when the sword 10 is held) between the grip 12 and the blade 11, and is configured so that the book 30 stands vertically on the upper side of the sword 10 (see Fig. 1). The first mounting section 22 is provided with, for example, three protrusions that can protrude from and retract into the walls that define the first mounting section 22. Two of these protrusions are provided on the bottom wall surface 22b, and the remaining protrusion is provided on the side wall surface 22w that faces the tip side of the sword 10.

[0027] The protrusions provided on the bottom wall surface 22b are a button operation protrusion (operation portion) 61 capable of pressing the third activation button 37 of the book 30, and an interlocking protrusion (interlocking portion) 62 interlocking with the button operation protrusion 61. The button operation protrusion 61 and the interlocking protrusion 62 are configured as a part of a button operation member 60 described later, and are provided so as to be able to protrude and retract from the bottom wall surface 22b. In short, the interlocking protrusion 62 and the button operation protrusion 61 are configured as an integral unit, as will be described later in detail, and when the book 30 is attached and pressed by the book 30, both protrusions 61, 62 are configured to be able to retreat (move) to the inside of the bottom wall surface 22b. Here, the protrusion heights of the button operation protrusion 61 and the interlocking protrusion 62 from the bottom wall surface 22b are set so that the interlocking protrusion 62 is lower, as will be described later in detail.

[0028] Furthermore, the third protrusion protruding toward the tip side of the sword 10 engages with one end face in the width direction of the book 30 when the book 30 is attached to the first attachment part 22. That is, the third protrusion engages with the outer surface of the book 30, and moves so as to recede from the side wall surface 22w. This movement is utilized to form a locking protrusion (locking part) 71 of the locking member 70 that locks the movement of the button operating member 60.

[0029] As shown in FIG. 5, the second mounting section 23 is configured to mount the book 30 vertically on the left side of the sword 10. The book 30 mounted on the second mounting section 23 is operated by a link mechanism (not shown) through button operation sections 46, 48 exposed on the second mounting section 23, for example, by the first operation of the operation trigger 16. The button operation sections 46, 48 press the first activation button (activation section) 36b and the second activation button (activation section) 38f of the book 30, and can open the opening / closing section 30a of the book 30 at the same time as the book 30 outputs a sound. When the book 30 is mounted on the second mounting section 23, the identification information of the book 30 is read, and a predetermined performance can be performed by operating the operation trigger 16. Furthermore, the attached book 30 can be used to produce effects by the first operation of the operation trigger 16, but from the second operation onwards, a mechanism (not shown) locks the button operation units 46, 48, preventing unnecessary repeated effects of the book 30 and producing only the effects of the sword 10. The locked state of the button operation units 46, 48 can be released by pressing the lock release part 50R.

[0030] The configurations of the button operating member 60 and the locking member 70 will be described below with reference to FIGS. Fig. 6 is a cutaway side view of a main part of the sword 10, with a part cut away, to show the internal structure of the first mounting part 22 in the performance output toy 1. Fig. 7 is an exploded perspective view showing the internal structure of the first mounting part 22.

[0031] As shown in FIG. 6, on the inside of the first mounting part 22 of the sword 10 (the lower and left side in the figure), there is provided a button operating member 60 equipped with a button operating protrusion (operating portion) 61 and an interlocking protrusion (interlocking portion) 62, and a locking member 70 equipped with a locking protrusion (locking portion) 71. The button operation member 60 includes an interlocking arm 60a extending from a pivot 60c rotatable around a rotation axis C6 toward the rear of the sword in the direction of the rotation radius, and the interlocking arm 60a is provided with a button operation protrusion 61 and an interlocking protrusion 62 extending upward toward the sword 10 along the rotation direction. The interlocking protrusion 62 is formed at a middle position in the extending direction of the interlocking arm 60a, and the button operation protrusion 61 is formed at the tip position of the interlocking arm 60a. In other words, the distance of the interlocking protrusion 62 from the pivot 60c is smaller than the distance of the button operation protrusion 61 from the pivot 60c. In addition, an engagement arm 63 that can engage with the locking member 70 extends downward from the sword 10 (downward in the drawing) opposite to the button operation protrusion 61. As shown in FIG. 7, the bottom wall surface 22b is provided with two openings 22h that allow the button operation protrusion 61 and the interlocking protrusion 62 to pass through.

[0032] As shown in FIG. 7, the engagement arm 63 has a recess 63c at its tip end that is recessed in the thickness direction of the sword 10. This recess 63c can engage with the locking portion 73 of the locking member 70. In addition, a compression spring P4, which is a biasing member arranged in parallel with the engagement arm 63, abuts against the interlocking arm 60a from the lower side in the figure. As a result, the button operation member 60 is constantly biased in a direction in which the button operation protrusion 61 and the interlocking protrusion 62 return to the position (initial position) where they are exposed from the opening 22h. Therefore, when the book 30 is attached, the button operation protrusion 61 and the interlocking protrusion 62 abut against the book 30. In addition, the interlocking arm 60a is provided with a switch pressing portion 64 that extends leftward in the thickness direction of the sword 10 on the opposite side to the extension side of the interlocking protrusion 62. This switch pressing portion 64 can press and operate the rubber contact switch 10si that is installed facing the switch pressing portion 64. The rubber contact switch (activation part) 10si functions as a switch for sound and light effects on the sword 10 side.

[0033] The locking member 70 is equipped with a sliding portion 70c extending in the front-rear direction of the sword 10 and a locking arm portion 70b extending from one end of the sliding portion 70c toward the upper side of the sword 10, and is configured, for example, in a substantially L-shape in side view. The locking member 70 is held movably in the front-rear direction of the sword 10, i.e., in the direction along the sliding portion 70c. A locking portion 73 is provided at a position near the tip of the sliding portion 70c, protruding to the right in the thickness direction of the sword 10 and engaging with the engaging arm 63 to lock the movement of the interlocking arm 60a. A locking protrusion 71 protruding toward the tip side of the sword 10 is provided at the tip of the locking arm portion 70b.

[0034] The locking projection 71 is configured so that its tip surface 71e and tip tapered surface 71t can be exposed from the side wall surface 22w. The locking projection 71 has a thickness close to the width of the side wall surface 22w (the width of the sword 10 in the left-right direction).

[0035] In addition, a compression spring P5, which is a biasing member, is provided in the long hole 70h provided in the slide portion 70c. This compression spring P5 is installed so that one end side (right side in the figure) of the compression spring P5 presses the slide portion 70c. Therefore, the locking member 70 is constantly biased toward the tip of the sword 10 by the compression spring P5. As a result, when the book 30 is removed, the locking projection 71 can return to the initial position where the tip surface 71e and the tip tapered surface 71t are exposed from the side wall surface 22w. In addition, the aforementioned locking portion 73 is located on the tip side of the slide portion 70c, closer to the tip side of the sword 10 (right side in the figure) than the recess 63c of the engagement arm 63.

[0036] The locking portion 73 is provided so as to be movable in its thickness direction (left-right direction of the sword) relative to the sliding portion 70c. The locking portion 73 is held within the sliding portion 70c so as to be slidable in the left-right direction of the sword 10. Furthermore, the locking portion 73 is pressed by a compression spring P6 (see FIG. 8) from the rear side of the sliding portion 70c (left direction of the sword 10). Therefore, as described below, when the locking portion 73 engages with the recess 63c of the engagement arm 63, its protruding height can be changed by elastic force.

[0037] The operation of the button operating member 60 and the locking member 70 when the book 30 is attached or detached will be described below with reference to FIGS. Fig. 8 is an exploded perspective view showing the button operating member 60 and the locking member 70 in the initial stage of operation when the book 30 is attached. Fig. 9 is an exploded perspective view showing the button operating member 60 and the locking member 70 in the middle stage of operation when the book 30 is attached. Fig. 10 is an exploded perspective view showing the final stage of operation when both members 60, 70 are attached. Also, Fig. 11 is an exploded side view showing the operation of the button operating member 60 and the locking member 70 when the book 30 is removed.

[0038] When the book 30 is attached, the bottom surface 30bb is pressed into the first attachment portion 22. At this time, as shown in FIG. 8, the button operation member 60 is first contacted by the button operation protrusion 61 with the third activation button 37 provided on the bottom surface 30bb, and is pressed against the urging force of the compression spring P4. This contact of the button operation protrusion 61 presses the third activation button 37, and the book 30 is switched. When the button operation protrusion 61 is pressed, the button operation member 60 starts to rotate (rotate counterclockwise in the figure) with the support shaft portion 60c as the fulcrum. In addition, in the initial state of the book 30 being pressed, one end 30be of the corner of the bottom surface 30bb comes into contact with the tip tapered surface 71t of the lock protrusion 71. As a result, the lock member 70 starts to move toward the rear side of the sword 10 (to the left in the figure) against the urging force of the compression spring P5.

[0039] Next, the book 30 is pressed further in. This brings the bottom surface 30bb into contact with the interlocking protrusion 62, as shown in Fig. 9. When the interlocking protrusion 62 comes into contact with the bottom surface 30bb, the button operation protrusion 61 begins to move away from the third activation button 37. In other words, by pressing the interlocking protrusion 62, which is closer to the support shaft 60c than the button operation protrusion 61, the button operation protrusion 61 moves a distance greater than the movement distance of the interlocking protrusion 62 and moves away from the third activation button 37.

[0040] By pushing the book 30, the engaging arm 63 moves in a direction in which its tip 63e approaches the locking portion 73 of the locking member 70. Meanwhile, the locking member 70 is pushed by one end 30be of the book 30 and slides toward the rear of the sword 10, and the locking portion 73 moves in a direction in which it contacts the tip 63e of the engaging arm 63, as shown in FIG. 9. Here, the tip 63e is provided with a tip inclined surface 63t on the side facing the locking portion 73, while the locking portion 73 is provided with an inclined surface 73t on the side facing the tip inclined surface 63t. Therefore, when the tip inclined surface 63t and the inclined surface 73t move closer to each other from the state shown in FIG. 9, the inclined surfaces 63t and 73t come into contact with each other and rub against each other, and the locking portion 73 fits into the recess 63c. When the locking portion 73 is fitted, the locking portion 73 can move elastically to lower its protruding height, so that the fitting can be performed smoothly.

[0041] When the book 30 is completely pushed in, as shown in Fig. 10, the tip surface 71e of the locking projection 71 abuts against one end side surface of the book 30. This causes the locking member 70 to maintain a state in which the locking projection 71 is retracted from the side wall surface 22w. The engaging portion 73 is fitted into the recess 63c. As a result, the button operating member 60 maintains a state in which the button operating projection 61 is spaced apart from the third activation button 37.

[0042] In the above series of actions for attaching the book 30, the third activation button 37 is pressed briefly (pressed for a short time), so the performance by the book 30 is performed only once, corresponding to the switching. Furthermore, by attaching the book 30, the rubber contact switch (activation section) 10si is also pressed. This causes the sword 10 to emit light, and furthermore, produces a performance by outputting sound from the sword 10. Note that the performance by the sword 10 may be only a light performance or only a sound performance.

[0043] The operation of the button operating member 60 and the locking member 70 when the book 30 is removed from the first mounting portion 22 will now be described. As shown in FIG. 11, first, in the initial state when the book 30 is pulled out, even if the book 30 moves upward, the locking member 70 maintains the book 30 in a pressed-in state against the biasing force of the compression spring P5 while the tip surface 71e of the locking protrusion 71 is in contact with the book 30. Therefore, in the initial state of the book 30 removal operation, the return movement of the button operating member 60 is restricted. Then, when the book 30 is further pulled out and the book 30 is separated from the tip surface 71e of the locking protrusion 71, the locking member 70 moves to the initial position side (the right side in FIG. 11). This disengages the engagement portion 73 from the recess 63c. As a result, the button operating member 60 returns to the initial position by the biasing force of the compression spring P4. In this way, the returning motion of the button operating member 60 begins to move only after the book 30 has moved a predetermined distance away from the first mounting portion 22, so that the returning motion of the button operating protrusion 61 does not press the third activation button 37, thereby preventing unnecessary effects from being produced.

[0044] A brief explanation of how to play with the performance output toy 1 will be given below. Although the book 30 can be operated as a single unit and played with by outputting sound, the main way to play with the performance output toy 1 is to attach it to the sword 10. In that case, the book 30 is attached after operating the power switch of the sword 10. For example, as described above, the book 30 is attached to the first attachment part 22, immediately removed, and then attached to the second attachment part 23.

[0045] Furthermore, when the operation trigger 16 is operated with the book 30 attached to the second attachment section 23, the first activation button 36b and the second activation button 38f of the book 30 are pressed by the button operation sections 46, 48. This causes the opening / closing section 30a to rotate and at the same time causes a sound to be output from the book 30. By subsequently operating the operation trigger 16, a sound different from the initial sound output and even a light-emitting effect can be produced by the main toy body 10.

[0046] As described above, according to the performance output toy 1 of this embodiment, the interlocking protrusion 62, which can appear and disappear in the first mounting part 22 to which the book 30 is attached and which interlocks with the button operation protrusion 61 in the same direction, is provided with a protruding height lower than that of the button operation protrusion 61. As a result, when the book 30 is attached to the first mounting part 22, in the initial mounting state, the button operation protrusion 61 presses the third activation button 37, thereby enabling a performance by the book 30.

[0047] In addition, the distance of the interlocking protrusion 62 from the support shaft 60c is smaller than the distance from the support shaft 60c to the button operation protrusion 61, so that when the interlocking protrusion 62 comes into contact with the book 30, the movement distance of the button operation protrusion 61 is increased, so that in the final mounting state, the button operation protrusion 61 can be separated from the third activation button 37. As a result, a special effect can be achieved by pressing the third activation button 37 for a short time, and a different effect can be avoided by pressing the third activation button 37 for a long time.

[0048] Furthermore, when the book 30 is removed from the first attachment section 22, the button operation protrusion 61 is restricted so that the timing of the return movement is delayed as the engagement arm 63 is engaged by the engagement section 73, and therefore the third start button 37 is not operated when removing the book 30. This allows the performance of the book 30 to be limited to a single performance when the book 30 is attached to the first attachment section 22. As a result, the performance of the book 30 is not unnecessarily repeated, and it is possible to avoid a decrease in entertainment value due to unnecessary performances that are different from the user's intention, and it is possible to provide a toy that is easy to operate and highly entertaining.

[0049] In addition, in the performance output toy 1 of this embodiment, the button operation protrusion 61 and the interlocking protrusion 62 are integrated by the interlocking arm 60a and are biased by the compression spring P4, so that they can return to their initial position protruding into the first attachment portion 22 when the book 30 is removed.

[0050] In the performance output toy 1 of this embodiment, the locking member 70 having the locking protrusion 71 is biased toward the initial position by the compression spring P5, so that it moves in conjunction with the removal of the book 30 and can operate to return the locking protrusion 71 to the initial position where it protrudes into the first attachment portion 22.

[0051] In addition, in the present embodiment, the performance output toy 1 operates in conjunction with the attachment and detachment of the book 30, and when the book 30 is attached, the locking protrusion 71 can push the book 30 in the width direction, thereby creating a sense of operation when attaching and detaching the book.

[0052] Furthermore, in the performance output toy 1 of this embodiment, the main toy body 10 includes the first and second mounting portions 22, 23 for mounting the book 30, so that the number of performance forms using the book 30 can be increased.

[0053] Second embodiment A main toy body 10 according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to Figs. 12 to 18. In this embodiment, the same components as those in the first embodiment are given the same reference numerals and description thereof will be omitted. Fig. 12 is a perspective view of the sword 10 according to the second embodiment as seen from below. Fig. 13 is a perspective view of the sword 10 as seen from the left side. As shown in Figures 12 and 13, the sword 10 of this embodiment differs from that of the first embodiment in that the sword 10 is a double-edged type and in the configurations of the first attachment part 22 and the second attachment part 23. Since the sword 10 in the second embodiment is a double-edged type, with regard to the top and bottom of the sword 10, the side on which the operating trigger 16 is provided is referred to as the bottom. Other directions are described in the same way as in the first embodiment.

[0054] As shown in Figs. 12 and 13, the second mounting section 23 is provided on the upper side of the sword 10, and is configured to mount the book 30 flat (with the main body section 30b facing inward) toward the front and rear direction of the sword. When the book 30 is mounted on the second mounting section 23, for example, the first activation button (first activation section) 36b and the second activation button (second activation section) 38f are pressed by the first operation of the operation trigger 16, as in the first embodiment, and the book 30 outputs a sound and the opening and closing section 30a of the book 30 is opened in the sword left direction. In addition, the identification information of the book 30 is read by mounting it on the second mounting section 23, and a predetermined performance can be performed by operating the operation trigger 16. In addition, in this embodiment, the book 30 is configured not to operate when the operation trigger 16 is operated for the second or subsequent times, but the operation trigger 16 is unlocked by the lock release member 40R that can appear and disappear in the second mounting section 23 by attaching and detaching the book 30, for example.

[0055] Fig. 14 is a bottom view of the sword 10 when viewed from below, and Fig. 15 is a cutaway side view of the sword 10 with a portion cut away to show the internal structure of the first mounting part 22. Fig. 16 is an exploded perspective view showing the internal structure of the first mounting part 22. 14, the first mounting section 22 is configured in a rectangular shape of a predetermined depth surrounded by walls on all four sides, and the book 30 can be stood vertically obliquely backward toward the bottom of the sword 10. In addition, the bottom wall surface 22b is provided with a button operation protrusion 61 and an interlocking protrusion 62 that can appear and disappear from the bottom wall surface 22b. In addition, the side wall surface 22w is provided with a lock protrusion 91 that protrudes toward the tip side of the sword 10.

[0056] As shown in FIG. 15 and FIG. 16, the button operation member 60 in this embodiment is provided with a button operation protrusion (operation part) 61 and an interlocking protrusion (interlocking part) 62 on an interlocking arm 60a that can rotate around a support shaft 60c, as in the first embodiment. However, unlike the first embodiment, the interlocking arm 60a extends toward the rear of the sword 10. That is, the button operation protrusion 61 and the interlocking protrusion 62 are provided on the interlocking arm 60a that extends toward the sword tip from a support shaft 60c that can rotate around a rotation axis C8 provided on the grip 12 side. Also, unlike the first embodiment, the engagement arm 63 also extends from the support shaft 60c in the same direction as the button operation protrusion 61. Also, the locking member 90 having the locking protrusion (locking part) 91 is not configured to appear and disappear from the side wall surface 22w as in the first embodiment, but slides and moves in the sword thickness direction while remaining in a state of protruding from the side wall surface 22w, as described later. The locking member 90 is provided at a position that overlaps with the engagement arm 63 in the thickness direction of the sword 10. In addition, the switch pressing portion 64 provided on the opposite side to the protruding side of the interlocking projection 62 presses the rubber contact switch (activation portion) 10si in the same manner as in the first embodiment.

[0057] The configurations and operations of the button operating member 60 and the locking member 90 will now be described. Fig. 17 is an exploded perspective view showing the state before the button operating member 60 and the locking member 90 are operated. Fig. 18 is an exploded perspective view showing the state after the button operating member 60 and the locking member 90 are operated.

[0058] As shown in FIG. 17, the locking member 90 has a body 92 that can slide in the sword thickness direction along the side wall surface 22w, a locking projection 91 is provided on the side surface of the body 92 (the front side in the figure), and a locking portion 93 is provided on the tip side of the body 92 (the left side in the figure). The locking projection 91 penetrates a side opening 22i of the side wall surface 22w and protrudes into the second mounting portion 22. The locking portion 93 penetrates a through hole 98h of a storage wall portion 98 that restricts the position of the locking member 90 and protrudes toward the engagement arm 63. The locking member 90 is biased in a direction away from the engagement arm 63 (in a direction returning to the initial position) by a compression spring P8, which is a biasing member installed between the locking member 90 and the storage wall portion 98. In addition, the locking protrusion 91 is formed with a rectangular cross section that can enter the vertical groove 30g (see Figures 3 and 4) provided in the book 30, and has an upper end inclined surface 91t that is inclined in the width direction of the sword 10 at its upper end.

[0059] The operation of the button operating member 60 and the locking member 90 when the book 30 is attached and detached will now be described. First, before the book 30 is attached, the button operation protrusion 61 and the interlocking protrusion 62 are in an initial position passing through the opening 22h as shown in Figures 16 and 17. Also, as shown in Figure 17, the lock protrusion 91 is located toward one end of the side opening 22i (to the right in Figure 17). When the book 30 is attached, the bottom surface 30bb of the book 30 is pressed into the first attachment section 22. At this time, as in the first embodiment, the button operation member 60 first comes into contact with the third activation button 37, and is pressed against the urging force of the compression spring P7 to switch the book 30. At the same time, the button operation member 60 starts to rotate with the support shaft 60c as the fulcrum. In addition, in the initial state of this book pressing, the locking projection 91 engages its upper end inclined surface 91t with the bottom surface 30bb (more precisely, the edge portion on one end side of the vertical groove 30g), and starts to move by being pressed in the sword thickness direction (leftward in FIG. 17) against the urging force of the compression spring P8.

[0060] By continuing to push the book 30 in, the bottom surface 30bb comes into contact with the interlocking protrusion 62, and as in the first embodiment, the button operation protrusion 61 separates from the bottom surface 30bb, completing the book attachment. Here, in the locking member 90, when the book attachment is complete, the engaging portion 93 protrudes rearward (toward the grip portion 12) from the rear end wall 63w of the engaging arm 63 to engage the engaging arm 63, as shown in FIG. 18. This engagement is performed when the engaging arm 63 moves out of contact with the engaging portion 93. In short, the state in which the locking protrusion 91 is completely inserted into the vertical groove 30g, i.e., the state in which one end face 91e of the locking protrusion 91 is pressed by the inner wall of the vertical groove 30g, is completed before the book attachment is completed, and the sliding movement of the body 92 is completed. However, while the locking portion 93 is in contact with the side surface facing the thickness direction of the engagement arm 63 (the side surface on the right side in the figure), it is pressed (pushed leftward in the figure) by the compression spring P9 and its movement (movement leftward in the figure) is restricted. Therefore, when the interlocking arm 60a rotates a predetermined angle with the insertion of the book 30, the engagement arm 63 disengages from the tip surface of the locking portion 93. As a result, the locking portion 93 protrudes rearward from the rear end wall 63w of the engagement arm 63 to lock the button operating member 60.

[0061] In this embodiment, when the book 30 is removed, the engagement between the one end surface 91e of the lock protrusion 91 and the vertical groove 30g is maintained until the book 30 is halfway pulled out, so that the timing at which the interlocking arm 60a starts to return can be delayed, as in the first embodiment. This makes it possible to avoid interference of the button operation protrusion 61 with the third activation button 37.

[0062] In this embodiment, the same effects as those of the first embodiment can be achieved. In addition, in this embodiment, when attaching or detaching the book 30, it is also possible to push the book 30 in the thickness direction by the locking protrusion 91. Therefore, a feeling of operation can be provided when attaching or detaching the book. In addition, in this embodiment, the engaging arm 63 is configured to extend from the support shaft portion 60c, and further, the locking member 90 is configured to lock the button operating member 60 by moving in a direction intersecting the rotation direction of the button operating member 60, so that the configuration of the locking member 90 can be made compact.

[0063] Although the first and second embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention can be modified as appropriate within the scope of its technical concept. For example, the shapes of the button operating member 60 and the locking members 70 and 90 are not limited to those shown in the drawings and can be modified as appropriate.

[0064] In the above embodiment, the book 30 is attached to the first attachment section 22 by inserting the book 30 while holding it in the hand, outputting audio, and then removing it in most cases, so that a book holding structure using a locking means is not necessary to facilitate the attachment and removal operation. However, as described above, the book may be held by friction with the locking projections 71, 91 or by frictional engagement with other parts, or another holding mechanism may be provided separately.

[0065] In the above embodiment, the book 30 is attached to the sword 10, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the first attachment part 22 and the second attachment part 23 may be provided on the buckle of a belt that the user wears around his waist. In this case, a reading part for the identification information of the book 30 may be provided on the buckle, and an operating part equivalent to the operating trigger 16 may also be provided.
