[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2019-146784 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In Patent Document 1, the information on the IC tag is read by bringing two separate members close to each other. In a performance output toy in which a predetermined performance is started by bringing separate members close to each other, attaching them, or operating a button, the performance output control of the toy is often performed electronically. However, in this type of performance output toy, a specific performance is repeatedly performed in a predetermined electronically controlled routine, and there is a problem that the performance is not in line with the operator's intention. If such a problem is solved by software development, not only does it take a lot of time to develop the software, but there is also a risk of malfunction, so there has been a strong demand for a highly interesting performance output toy that can solve this type of problem without relying on electronic control.

[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide a highly entertaining toy with reliable control of the performance output. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The performance output toy according to the present invention comprises: A secondary toy body having a start-up unit for starting the performance; A main toy body to which the secondary toy body can be attached and detached, The main toy body has an operating part that operates the starting part, a link mechanism, and an operation trigger that drives the operating part via the link mechanism, The link mechanism is characterized in that it includes a lock mechanism that disables operation of the operation part by the operation trigger at the same time as the operation trigger drives the operation part for the first time.

[0007] In addition, in the performance output toy according to the present invention, The locking mechanism may include a lock releasing member for enabling operation of the movement part by the operation trigger.

[0008] In addition, in the performance output toy according to the present invention, The unlocking member may be provided exposed on the main toy body, and may be adapted to detect attachment / detachment of the sub-toy body from the main toy body.

[0009] In addition, in the performance output toy according to the present invention, The link mechanism includes: an unlocking member that is pushed by the secondary toy body when the secondary toy body is attached to the main toy body and is capable of a first movement toward the inside of the main toy body; a first locking member that is pressed by the first movement of the unlocking member and is capable of a second movement in a direction perpendicular to the first movement; a first member that movably accommodates the first locking member and that is capable of a fourth movement that moves in a direction perpendicular to the second movement on the same plane and presses a first actuation portion of the actuation portion; a second member capable of a third movement that is pressed by the operation trigger and moves in the same direction as the fourth movement on a plane parallel to the fourth movement to press a second activation portion of the activation portion; a second locking member that is pressed by the third movement of the second member and comes into contact with the first locking member to cause the first locking member and the first member to perform the fourth movement, and that is capable of a fifth movement in a direction opposite to the first movement, Approximately simultaneously with the completion of the third movement of the second member by the operation trigger, an engagement position between the second locking member and the first locking member shifts, the second locking member disengages from the engagement position with the second member and is restrained by the first locking member, and simultaneously with the restraint, a sixth movement is induced in which the first locking member and the first member return in a direction opposite to the fourth movement.

[0010] In addition, in the performance output toy according to the present invention, In a state in which the second locking member is disengaged from the engagement position with the second member and is constrained by the first locking member, Removal of the secondary toy body may cause the unlocking member to make a seventh movement in a direction opposite to the first movement, the seventh movement releasing the position restriction of the first locking member, and the second locking member being released from the constraint of the first locking member and returning to its original position by an eighth movement in a direction opposite to the fifth movement.

[0011] In addition, in the performance output toy according to the present invention, The link mechanism includes: A first slide part that is pressed by the operation trigger and is movable in a first slide direction; a first rotating part that is engaged with the first slide part and is rotatable in a first rotating direction by movement in the first sliding direction; a lock part that restricts the position of the first rotating part in a state where the first rotating part moves in a second sliding direction in a rotation axis direction of the rotation at the same time as the first rotating part rotates in the first rotating direction, and disengages the first rotating part from an abutting position with the first sliding part; a second rotating part that is biased by the first rotating part and is rotatable in a second rotating direction opposite to the first rotating direction; a third rotating part that is biased by the second rotating part and rotates in a third rotation direction substantially perpendicular to a rotation surface of the second rotating part due to rotation of the second rotating part, and is capable of a pressing movement to press the actuation portion, The first rotating part may move in the second sliding direction together with the first rotating direction by the first sliding part, and at the final stage of the movement in the second sliding direction, the lock part may be engaged and the first rotating part may be restricted in position so that the first rotating motion by the first sliding part is impossible.

[0012] In addition, in the performance output toy according to the present invention, The link mechanism may be provided with a lock release part that engages with the lock part and releases the position restriction so as to return the first rotating part to an initial position where it can come into contact with the first sliding part. Effect of the Invention

[0013] According to the present invention, a performance output toy that has excellent accuracy of performance control and is highly entertaining can be provided. [Brief description of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0015] (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.

[0016] As shown in Fig. 1, the performance output toy 1 is roughly composed of a main toy body 10 (hereinafter referred to as "sword 10") in the shape of a sword 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 a toy that can produce performances when the book 30 is attached to and detached from a book attachment portion 23 (see Fig. 2) of the main toy body 10 in the shape of a sword used by a fighting hero, for example.

[0017] FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the sword 10 in the performance output toy 1. FIG. 2, the sword 10 has, for example, a single-edged blade 11, a grip 12, and a book attachment section 23. This sword 10 is equipped with a detection section, a power source, and a control section (not shown) capable of detecting information on the book 30 inside. Therefore, when the book 30 is attached to the book attachment section 23, the detection section can read the identification information held by the book 30.

[0018] The book attachment section 23 is provided with locking pieces 24m that protrude toward the inside of the book attachment section 23 so that the book 30 can be attached sideways. For example, three locking pieces 24m are provided on the upper side of the sword and on both the front and rear sides. The locking pieces 24m are configured to be elastically deformable (see FIG. 5) so as to retreat toward the outside of the book when the book 30 is pushed in. A book removal button 25 is also provided, and pressing this book removal button 25 operates the locking pieces 24m to allow the book 30 to be removed.

[0019] The book attachment section 23 is provided with button operation sections (operation sections) 46, 48 on the grip section 12 side that can be operated by the operation trigger 16 via a link mechanism 40 described later. In addition, a lock release member 40R (described later) protrudes from the bottom surface of the book attachment section 23 and is capable of detecting attachment and detachment of the book 30.

[0020] The sword 10 is provided with a power switch and an operating trigger 16 on its exterior as operating parts. 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.

[0021] 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.

[0022] FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the book 30, and FIG. 3, the book 30 includes a main body 30b fixed to the book mounting portion 23, and an opening / closing portion 30a that can be opened and closed relative to the main body 30b via a hinge portion 30h having an opening / closing shaft 30sf. The opening / closing portion 30a is biased in its rotational direction by a torsion spring 38t disposed between the main body 30b and the opening / closing portion 30a. In short, the opening / closing portion 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 a second start button 38f described later.

[0023] The main body 30b is held by engaging the locking piece 24m with the groove on its outer periphery. In this held state, the opening / closing part 30a can rotate (as shown by the dashed line in FIG. 1). When the opening / closing part 30a of the book 30 is opened, the opening page is naturally revealed. For example, an image of a specific character or special information can be displayed on this opening page. The book 30 also contains an IC tag on which identification information unique to the book is recorded.

[0024] As shown in Fig. 4, two activation buttons (activation sections) are provided on the book bottom surface 30bb of the main body section 30b of the book 30. For example, a first activation button (first activation section) 36b, which is an audio button, is provided on the side closer to the hinge section 30h, and a second activation button (second activation section) 38f is provided a short distance away on the opening / closing side. When the first activation button 36b is pressed, it outputs audio based on predetermined information in the book. When the second activation button 38f, which is an unfolding button, is pressed, the opening / closing section 30a automatically opens.

[0025] An example of how to play with the performance output toy 1 will be briefly described below. Although the book 30 can be operated as a standalone device and used to output audio, the main way to play is to attach it to the sword 10 as shown in Figure 1. In that case, the book 30 is attached after operating the power switch of the sword 10. This allows the identification information of the book 30 to be read by the sword 10.

[0026] Furthermore, when the operation trigger 16 is operated, the first activation button 36b and the second activation button 38f of the book 30 are pressed by the button operating units 46, 48. This causes the opening / closing unit 30a to rotate and at the same time an initial sound output is made from the book 30. Thereafter, by operating the operation trigger 16, a sound output different from the initial sound output and even a light-emitting effect can be made by the main toy body 10.

[0027] Here, the operation trigger 16, when operated for the first time, outputs sound from the book 30 and rotates the opening / closing part 30a. However, when operated after that (second time onwards), the operation trigger 16 is configured with a link mechanism 4 (to be described later) so that the book 30 cannot be operated due to the link mechanism 4 (to be described later).

[0028] FIG. 5 is an exploded perspective view of the link mechanism 40 in the performance output toy 1 when viewed from the front side of the toy, and FIG. 6 is an exploded perspective view of the link mechanism 40 when viewed from the back side of the toy. Also, FIG. 7 is an enlarged perspective view of the main part of the lock mechanism. In the following description with reference to FIG. 5 to FIG. 11, the toy front-rear direction refers to the longitudinal direction of the main toy body 10, and the toy left-right direction refers to the height direction (width direction) of the blade part 11 of the main toy body 10, which is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. Also, the toy thickness direction refers to the thickness direction of the main toy body 10, which is perpendicular to the left-right direction. Furthermore, the toy tip direction or the toy tip side refers to the direction toward the tip of the blade part 11 of the main toy body 10 or the tip side, and the toy rear end direction or the toy rear end side refers to the opposite direction or the opposite side to the toy tip direction. Also, the toy front side refers to the side to which the book 30 is attached, and the toy rear side refers to the opposite side.

[0029] As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the link mechanism 40 includes a second member 42 that moves in engagement with the operating trigger 16, a second locking member 42L that moves in engagement with the second member 42, a first locking member 41L that engages with the second locking member 42L to lock the movement of the second locking member 42L, a first member 41 in which the first locking member 41L is incorporated, and an unlocking member 40R that releases the locked state established by the first locking member 41L and the second locking member 42L.

[0030] The operating trigger 16 is partially exposed from the grip 12 and is provided so as to be rotatable about a trigger rotation shaft 16CL. The operating trigger 16 also includes a trigger arm 16a extending from the trigger rotation shaft 16CL in the width direction of the toy main body. An arm tip 16e of the trigger arm 16a engages with the second member 42.

[0031] A coil spring P4 is provided on the rear side of the operation trigger 16, and is biased in the opposite direction to the operation direction (pushing direction). A rubber contact switch 10si is provided on the rear side of the operation trigger 16. Therefore, by pushing the operation trigger 16, the rubber contact switch 10si is switched to perform various effects.

[0032] The second member 42 comprises a first pressing arm 42a extending from a portion (base) close to the trigger rotation shaft 16CL toward the tip of the toy, a base 42b extending in the left-right direction of the toy from the base of the first pressing arm 42a, a second pressing arm 42c extending in the thickness direction of the toy from one end side of the base 42b, and a button operating portion 48 protruding from the tip of the second pressing arm 42c toward the tip of the toy.

[0033] The second member 42 is provided so as to be slidable in the front-rear direction of the toy. Therefore, by being connected to the operation trigger 16, the second member 42 can move toward the tip of the toy by pressing the operation trigger 16, that is, the third movement M3 in this embodiment. This third movement M3 causes the button operating unit 48 to press the second activation button 38f of the activation buttons, as described below. Furthermore, when pressing of the operation trigger 16 is stopped, the coil spring P4 causes the second member 42 to return toward the rear end of the toy in conjunction with the rotation of the operation trigger 16.

[0034] The second locking member 42L is a relatively small block-shaped member, and has an inclined surface 42Le (see FIG. 7) at one end thereof that engages with the first pressing arm 42a of the second member 42. The second locking member 42L penetrates the first member 41 and the first locking member 41L in the thickness direction of the toy, and is provided so as to be slidable in the thickness direction of the toy. The other end of the second locking member 42L is biased toward the back side of the toy by a coil spring P1 (see FIG. 5).

[0035] Therefore, the second member 42 moves in two directions by being pressed by the third movement M3. In short, the second locking member 42L moves in the toy front direction and in the same direction as the third movement M3 by pressing the inclined surface 42Le. The second locking member 42L is also configured so that the side surface on the toy tip side can come into contact with the first locking member 41L. As a result, the first locking member 41L and the first member 41 can be caused to make the fourth movement M4 referred to in this embodiment while making the fifth movement M5 (movement in the toy front direction) referred to in this embodiment.

[0036] The first member 41 includes a rectangular main body body 41a, a tip projection 41t extending from the main body body 41a toward the tip of the toy, legs 41c extending from the main body body 41a toward the rear end of the toy and then toward the front side of the toy, and a button operating part 46 protruding from the tip of the legs 41c toward the tip of the toy. The main body body 41a also accommodates a first locking member 41L therein so as to be movable in the left-right direction of the toy. In detail, a groove 41g (see Figs. 7 and 8) is formed in the main body body 41a along the left-right direction of the toy. The first locking member 41L is fitted into the groove 41g and held so as to be slidable.

[0037] The first member 41 is held so as to be slidable in the front-rear direction of the toy. The main body trunk 41a is biased toward the rear end of the toy by a coil spring P3. The first member 41 is pressed by the second member via the first locking member 41L and the second locking member 42L, and is capable of a fourth movement M4 in this embodiment in which the first activation button 36b is pressed. When the pressure is released, the first member 41 moves toward the rear end of the toy.

[0038] The first locking member 41L has a generally rectangular overall shape and has a rectangular opening 41Lh. The above-mentioned second locking member 42L penetrates this opening 41Lh. In addition, slide protrusions 41Lb protrude from both sides in the front-rear direction of the toy, and these slide protrusions 41Lb fit into grooves 41g of the first member 41 (see FIG. 8). Therefore, the first locking member 41L is attached so as to be slidable in the left-right direction of the toy on the slide surface 41s of the first member 41.

[0039] The first locking member 41L is biased to one side in the left-right direction of the toy by a coil spring P2 between the main body trunk portion 41a (see Figs. 6 and 7). When the unlocking member 40R moves and presses the first locking member 41L, the first locking member 41L performs what is referred to as the second movement M2 in this embodiment against the biasing force.

[0040] The unlocking member 40R is configured in a block shape, one end side of the toy front side protrudes from the bottom surface of the book attachment portion 23 (see FIG. 2), and is provided so as to be movable in the thickness direction of the toy. The other end side of the unlocking member 40R on the back side of the toy is provided with a locking inclined surface 40Re (see FIG. 9). This locking inclined surface 40Re is engageable with one end edge of the opening 41Lh of the first locking member 41L. Therefore, the unlocking member 40R is pushed by the attachment of the book 30 and moves in the direction of the back side of the toy. As a result, the locking inclined surface 40Re presses the first locking member 41L, and the first movement M1 of the first locking member 41L, as referred to in this embodiment, is performed against the biasing force of the coil spring P2.

[0041] The operation of the link mechanism 40 configured as above will be described with reference to Figs. 8 to 11. Fig. 8 is a perspective view showing the state before the link mechanism 40 operates. Fig. 9 is a perspective view showing the state of the link mechanism 40 at the beginning of operation. Fig. 10 is a perspective view showing the state of the link mechanism 40 at the middle stage of operation. Fig. 11 is a perspective view showing the state in which the lock mechanism is activated at the final stage of operation of the link mechanism 40.

[0042] First, before the book 30 is attached to the book attachment portion 23, as shown in Fig. 8, the first pressing arm 42a of the second member 42 has its tip inclined surface 42ae facing the inclined surface 42Le of the second locking member 42L. The other components of the link mechanism 40 are also biased by their respective coil springs and positioned at predetermined positions.

[0043] When the book 30 is attached, a first movement M1 is performed in which the outer surface of the book 30 pushes the unlocking member 40R toward the inside of the toy. As a result, as shown in FIG. 9, the first locking member 41L performs a second movement M2 along the left-right direction of the toy inside the first member 41 against the biasing force of the coil spring P2. As a result, the protruding edge portion 41Ld of the first locking member 41L provided on the edge portion of the opening 41Lh enters the toy front side (lower side in FIG. 8) of the step portion 42Ld of the second locking member 42L. To explain in more detail with reference to FIG. 7, the protruding edge portion 41Ld of the first locking member 41L enters the recessed portion 42Lk of the second locking member 42L by the second movement M2. As a result, the wall surface 42Lt of the recessed portion 42Lk and the edge portion 41Le of the protruding edge portion 41Ld face each other.

[0044] Next, by operating the operating trigger 16, the second member 42 executes a third movement M3 as shown in Fig. 10. The second activation button 38f is pressed by this third movement M3, and the opening / closing part 30a of the book 30 is opened.

[0045] Furthermore, the third movement M3 causes the first pressing arm 42a to move toward the toy tip while the tip inclined surface 42ae presses the inclined surface 42Le. This causes the first member 41 to move toward the toy tip against the biasing force of the coil spring P3, and the fourth movement M4 is executed. The fourth movement M4 causes the first activation button 36b to be pressed, and a performance is executed by audio output from the book 30.

[0046] In this way, substantially simultaneously with the completion of the third movement M3 of the second member 42 by the operating trigger 16, the engagement positions of the second locking member 42L and the first locking member 41L are shifted as shown in Fig. 11. This is because the second locking member 42L is pushed by the first pressing arm 42a, and executes a fifth movement M5 (see Fig. 10) toward the toy surface side as the tip inclined surface 42ae comes into contact with the inclined surface 42Le. This fifth movement M5 causes the step 42Ld of the second locking member 42L to move over the protruding edge portion 41Ld of the first locking member 41L, and the step 42Ld enters into the toy surface side (the lower side in Fig. 11) of the protruding edge portion 41Ld and is locked (restrained).

[0047] When the second locking member 42L is released from the engagement position with the second member 42 and is restrained by the first locking member 41L, the first pressing arm 42a no longer presses the first member 41. As a result, the first member 41 performs a sixth movement M6 in which it returns in the opposite direction to the fourth movement M4.

[0048] In this state, even if the operation trigger 16 is operated, the first member 41 will not move, and no sound will be output from the book 30. However, by operating the operation trigger 16, the rubber contact switch 10si is switched, so that all but the initial performance of the book 30 can be performed.

[0049] The book 30 is removed from the main toy body 10. This causes the unlocking member 40R to be pushed toward the front side of the toy by the biasing force of the coil spring P1, thus executing the seventh movement M7. This seventh movement M7 disengages the unlocking member 40R from the first locking member 41L. This causes the first locking member 41L to be pushed back to its original position by the biasing force of the coil spring P2, releasing the restraint of the second locking member 42L. As a result, the second locking member 42L is pushed back toward the back side of the toy, and the eighth movement M8 is executed, returning it to its original position.

[0050] As described above, according to the performance output toy 1 of this embodiment, the performance using the book 30 is not unnecessarily repeated, thereby preventing a decrease in entertainment value due to unnecessary performance that is different from the user's intention, and a toy that is easy to operate and highly entertaining can be provided.

[0051] In addition, in the performance output toy 1 of this embodiment, the link mechanism 40 is provided with a lock release member 40R that releases the lock of the lock mechanism that disables the operation of the operation trigger 16, so that the lock function can be released and the toy can be restored to its original state.

[0052] In addition, in the performance output toy 1 of this embodiment, the lock release member 40R is provided exposed to the book attachment section 23, so that attachment / detachment of the book 30 can be detected, and the lock mechanism can be operated, for example, by the removal operation of the book 30. As a result, the lock release member 40R can be used as an unlock mechanism that operates in conjunction with the removal of the book 30.

[0053] In the performance output toy 1 of this embodiment, the link mechanism 40 allows both activation buttons 36b, 38f to be operated by the first operation of the operation trigger 16, but the buttons cannot be operated by the second or subsequent operations of the operation trigger 16.

[0054] Furthermore, in the performance output toy 1 of this embodiment, the movement of the lock release member 40R based on the operation of removing the book 30 allows the link mechanism 40 to be released from the locked state and to return to the initial state.

[0055] 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 16. In this embodiment, components similar to those in the first embodiment are given the same reference numerals and descriptions thereof will be omitted. Also, a description of the spring member that applies a biasing force in the link mechanism 50 will be omitted.

[0056] FIG. 12 is a perspective view showing the main toy body 10 of the second embodiment. The main toy body 10 of this embodiment is configured to include a book mounting section 23 to which the book 30 is mounted in a vertical orientation. When the operation trigger 16 is first operated, the book 30 mounted in the book mounting section 23 opens the opening / closing section 30a of the book 30 at the same time as the book 30 outputs a sound, as in the first embodiment. In this case, the opening / closing section 30a opens toward the front of the toy. In this embodiment, the button operating sections 46, 48 are operated by a link mechanism 50, which will be described later. The book 30 is configured not to be operated by the second or subsequent operations of the operation trigger 16.

[0057] In the following description, as in the first embodiment, the toy front-rear direction refers to the longitudinal direction of the main toy body 10, the toy left-right direction refers to the height direction (width direction) of the blade portion 11 of the main toy body 10 perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, and the toy thickness direction refers to the thickness direction of the main toy body 10 perpendicular to the left-right direction. The toy tip direction or toy tip side refers to the direction toward the tip of the blade portion 11 of the main toy body 10 or the tip side, and the toy rear direction or toy rear side refers to the opposite direction or the opposite side to the toy tip direction. The toy front side refers to the side where the book 30 is attached, and the toy rear side refers to the opposite side.

[0058] Fig. 13 is an exploded perspective view of the link mechanism 50 in the main toy body 10 of this embodiment as viewed from the front side of the toy. Fig. 14 is an exploded perspective view of the link mechanism 50 as viewed from the back side of the toy.

[0059] As shown in Figures 13 and 14, the link mechanism 50 includes a first slide part 54 which engages with the operating trigger 16 and is slidable in the fore-and-aft direction of the toy, a first rotating part 51R which engages with the first slide part 54 and is rotatable in a predetermined direction, a lock part 59 which can regulate the position of the first rotating part 51R, a second rotating part 52R which engages with the first rotating part 51R and is rotatable in a predetermined direction, and a third rotating part 53R which engages with the second rotating part 52R and is rotatable in a predetermined direction.

[0060] The operation trigger 16 is partially exposed from the grip portion 12 and is provided so as to be slidable in the left-right direction of the toy. The operation trigger 16 is biased in a predetermined direction by a biasing member (not shown). The operation trigger 16 is biased in the opposite direction to the operation direction (pushing direction). This bias may be achieved by directly biasing the operation trigger 16 itself with a spring or the like, or may be achieved by utilizing the biasing force of the first slide part 54, for example. A rubber contact switch 10si is provided diagonally across the back side of the operation trigger 16. This rubber contact switch 10si is switched by the pressing action of the operation trigger 16 to perform various effects.

[0061] The first slide part 54 has a wide body 54a, a first engagement end 54t extending from the body 54a toward the toy's tip end, and a second engagement end 54e extending from the body 54a toward the toy's rear end. The first engagement end 54t is provided with a first inclined surface 54c that can engage with the first rotating part 51R. The second engagement end 54e is provided with a second inclined surface 54s that can engage with the operating trigger 16. The first slide part 54 is biased toward the toy's tip end by a biasing member.

[0062] When the operation trigger 16 is pressed (the toy slides left and right), the second inclined surface 54s of the first sliding part 54 is pressed by the trigger inclined surface 16s. This causes the first sliding part 54 to move in a first sliding direction S1, which is referred to in this embodiment as the first sliding direction, toward the rear end of the toy.

[0063] The first rotating part 51R includes a rotating shaft 51b, an engaging protrusion 51f that engages with the first slide part 54, a first arm 51a that extends from the rotating shaft 51b toward the rear end of the toy, and an engaging shaft 51e that extends in the thickness direction of the toy at the tip of the first arm 51a. The first rotating part 51R is provided to be rotatable around a first rotation axis C1 of the rotating shaft 51b that extends in the thickness direction of the toy. The first rotating part 51R is provided such that the rotating shaft 51b can slide in the thickness direction of the toy along the first rotation axis C1, and is biased in the direction of the back surface of the toy.

[0064] The engaging protrusion 51f is provided with a third inclined surface 51c (see FIG. 16) formed on an inclined surface facing the first inclined surface 54c of the first slide part 54. In addition, on the engaging protrusion 51f, on the toy front side (lower side in FIG. 14) of the third inclined surface 51c, a locking projection 51d is formed that protrudes in the radial direction of the rotating shaft portion 51b further than the portion where the third inclined surface 51c is formed.

[0065] Therefore, due to engagement between the third inclined surface 51c and the first inclined surface 54c, the first rotating part 51R rotates in a first rotation direction R1, as referred to in this embodiment, and moves in a second sliding direction S2 toward the toy surface as the first slide part 54 moves.

[0066] The second rotating part 52R comprises a second arm portion 52a that is rotatable around a second rotation axis C2 extending in the thickness direction of the toy, and a third arm portion 52b that extends from halfway through the second arm portion 52a and intersects with the second arm portion 52a on the same rotation plane.

[0067] The second arm portion 52a has a long hole 52e at its tip, which engages with the engagement shaft portion 51e of the first rotating part 51R. Therefore, it is biased by the movement of the first rotating part 51R to rotate in a second rotation direction R2, which is opposite to the first rotation direction R1, as referred to in this embodiment. In addition, the tip of the third arm portion 52b is provided with a U-shaped engagement portion 52t having a U-shaped cross section that opens toward the front side of the toy. In addition, the second rotating part 52R is biased in a predetermined direction (clockwise in FIG. 13, counterclockwise in FIG. 14).

[0068] The third rotating part 53R includes a U-shaped body portion 53a which extends in the thickness direction of the toy and is rotatable around a third rotation axis C3 along the front-to-rear direction of the toy, a pair of button operating portions 46, 48 which protrude along the left-to-right direction of the toy from one end side of the U-shaped body portion 53a, and an engagement end portion 53e which is provided on the opposite side of the button operating portions 46, 48 (the back side of the toy).

[0069] The button operating units 46, 48 operate the first activation button 36b and the second activation button 38f of the book 30. Meanwhile, the engagement end 53e engages with the U-shaped engagement unit 52t of the third arm unit 52b. Therefore, the third rotating part 53R rotates in a third rotation direction R3, which is generally perpendicular to the rotation plane of the second rotating part 52R, as the third arm unit 52b rotates.

[0070] The operation of the link mechanism 50 configured as above will be described mainly with reference to Figures 15 and 16. Figure 15 is an enlarged perspective view of the main parts showing the state before the link mechanism 50 is actuated. Figure 16 is an enlarged perspective view of the main parts showing the state after the lock mechanism is actuated.

[0071] First, the operation trigger 16 is pressed with the book 30 attached to the book attachment portion 23. By this operation, the first sliding part 54 is moved in the first sliding direction S1, which is toward the rear end of the toy, as if pulled by the operation trigger 16.

[0072] 15, the first rotating part 51R is rotated in a first rotating direction R1 as the third inclined surface 51c is pushed by the first inclined surface 54c. The second rotating part 52R is rotated in a second rotating direction R2 in conjunction with the first rotating direction R1. Furthermore, the third rotating part 53R is rotated in a third rotating direction R3 in conjunction with the second rotating direction R2.

[0073] As shown in FIG. 16, the first rotating part 51R rotates in the first rotating direction R1, and at the same time, the third inclined surface 51c is pushed, and the first rotating part 51R moves in the second sliding direction S2, which is toward the front side of the toy. In the final stage of the movement in the second sliding direction S2, the engaging protrusion 51d moves toward the front side of the toy further than the tip 59e of the locking part 59. As a result, the tip 59e of the locking part 59 engages with the step of the engaging protrusion 51d. In short, since the locking part 59 is constantly biased toward the first rotating part 51R, the tip 59e engages with the step of the engaging protrusion 51d as the engaging protrusion 51d moves in the axial direction, and the first rotating part 51R is restrained in a position closer to the front side of the toy.

[0074] In this way, when the first rotating part 51R is constrained to a position closer to the front side of the toy, for example, even if the operation trigger 16 is operated, the book 30 cannot be operated, and a locked state is created. That is, the first sliding part 54 moves in the front-rear direction of the toy by operating the operation trigger 16, but it cannot apply a biasing force to the first rotating part 51R by simply sliding above the engaging protrusion 51f. Also, when the first rotating part 51R is constrained, the biasing force by the first sliding part 54 is released, and the first rotating part 51R, the second rotating part 52R, and the third rotating part 53R rotate in a direction returning to their original positions. Therefore, in this state, the button operating parts 46, 48 do not move, and the book 30 cannot be operated.

[0075] The locked state can be released by using the unlocking part 50R. This unlocking part 50R is provided so that a part of it protrudes from the main body of the main toy body 10 (see FIG. 12), and the lock can be released by pressing this.

[0076] Returning to FIG. 14, the unlocking part 50R will be described. The unlocking part 50R, for example, comprises a rod-shaped connecting rod 56 which supports the locking part 59 at one end 56t and rotates around the fourth rotation axis C4, an operating part 55 which abuts the other end 56e of the connecting rod 56 and has one end exposed to the outside of the main toy body 10, and a support rod 57 which is rotatable around the fifth rotation axis 5C on the one end side and has the operating part 55 supported at the other end.

[0077] By pressing the operating portion 55, the unlocking part 50R separates the locking part 59 from the first rotating part 51R against the biasing force of the locking part 59. This releases the engagement of the locking protrusion 51d with the tip 59e of the locking part 59. As a result, the first rotating part 51R moves toward the back side of the toy and returns to a state where it can engage with the first sliding part 54.

[0078] The effect output toy 1 of this embodiment can achieve the same effects as the first embodiment.

[0079] In this embodiment, the link mechanism 50 operates the first activation button 36b and the second activation button 38f by the first operation of the operating trigger 16, and the first rotating part 51R becomes free in the rotation direction by the movement of the first rotating part 51R in the second sliding direction S2. As a result, the first rotating part 51R does not move when the operating trigger 16 is operated for the second or subsequent times, and the activation buttons cannot be operated.

[0080] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the locked state of the operation of the book 30 by the operation trigger 16 can be released arbitrarily without being linked to the attachment or detachment of the book 30.

[0081] In addition, in this embodiment, the unlocking part 50R is configured to operate via the connecting rod 56, so that, for example, the amount of unlocking movement (operating distance) of the operating unit 55 and the amount of movement of the locking part 59 can be appropriately adjusted.

[0082] 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 link elements in the link mechanisms 40 and 50 can be modified as appropriate. [Explanation of symbols]
