Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] Such a ball shooting toy is designed to enable suitable and safe play when using a regular ball. However, according to the ball shooting device described in Patent Document 1 above, the place for setting the ball is a flat surface, and not only regular balls but also irregular balls can be set and shot at this place. Furthermore, not only balls but also dangerous objects such as marbles that may lead to injury can be launched. The present invention has been made based on such circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a ball shooting toy that is safe and can preferably shoot only regular balls.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0005] The first means is a ball shooting toy comprising a ball and a shooting mechanism provided on a base, and energizing and shooting the ball set at a predetermined position on the base by the shooting mechanism. The ball has a fitting recess formed on its outer surface, On the base stand, There is provided a ball stand that rises in a mountain shape from the upper surface of the base stand and has a fitting protrusion formed at the top thereof, which fits with the fitting recess to set the ball to such an extent that it does not prevent the ball from being launched. It is a ball launching toy characterized by this.

[0006] The second means is the first means, wherein the ball stand and the launching mechanism are configured to be relatively movable along the upper surface of the base stand within a range that does not prevent the launching by the launching mechanism. This is the characteristic.

[0007] The third means is the first means, wherein the ball stand includes a frustum-shaped pedestal and a conical fitting protrusion erected at the center of the upper surface of the pedestal, and an annular plane formed by the upper surface of the pedestal on which the edge of the hole of the ball rests is formed around the fitting protrusion. This is the characteristic.

[0008] The fourth means is any one of the first to third means, wherein the base stand is provided with a doll having a striking portion for striking and launching the ball placed on the ball stand. This is the characteristic.

[0009] The fifth means is the fourth means, wherein the base stand is provided with a doll, and the doll is configured to have a striking portion for striking and launching the ball by a part of the body of the doll or a striking tool carried by the doll. This is the characteristic.

[0010] The sixth means is the fifth means, wherein the moving leg is configured to be rotatable about the axis of the hip joint equivalent portion, and by rotation, it can take a rearward lifting position and a forward extending position, and is locked against a predetermined biasing force at the lifting position, and is configured to be unlocked by the operation of an operating element provided on the base stand. This is the characteristic.

[0011] The seventh means is the fifth means, wherein an inclined surface is formed on the tip of the moving leg such that the height of the ridge decreases from the top of the ridge toward the edge of the foot.

Advantages of the Invention

[0012] According to the present invention, the ball stand rises in a mountain shape and has a fitting protrusion at the top. Thus, not only on top of the fitting protrusion but also on the ball stand, it is impossible to place an irregular ball without a fitting recess. Moreover, the height of the regular ball placed on the ball stand is different from that of the irregular ball placed outside the ball stand. Therefore, an irregular ball cannot be launched in the same way as a regular ball. Also, things like marbles cannot be launched in the same way as a regular ball.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0014] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0015] 《Schematic Configuration》 FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a soccer game device 100 according to an embodiment. This soccer game device 100 includes a kicker doll 10 for kicking out a ball 11, a goal 50, a keeper doll 60, and a player display body 90.

[0016] FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the kicker doll 10 and the base stand 12 as viewed from the rear. The kicker doll 10 and the base stand 12 constitute a ball launching toy. The kicker doll 10 is installed on a base stand 12 that represents a part of the ground. In the kicker doll 10, the shaft leg 10a is fixed to the base stand 12, and the moving leg 10b serves as a swinging leg. The moving leg 10b is configured to be rotatable back and forth about a portion corresponding to the hip joint of the kicker doll 10 and can be locked in a state where it is swung upward to the rear (see FIG. 7).

[0017] On the base 12, a ball stand 13 for setting the ball 11 is provided. The ball stand 13 is formed to rise in a mountain shape with respect to the upper surface of the base 12 and has a fitting projection 13b at the top. At the rear of the base 12, there are provided an operation lever 12a for changing the planar position of the ball stand 13 and an operation lever 12b serving as a trigger for swinging the movable leg 10b swung up and locked backward forward.

[0018] The player display body 90 is installed at a position between the kicker doll 10 and the goal 50. The player display body 90 prevents the ball 11 kicked by the kicker doll 10 from entering the goal 50.

[0019] The goalkeeper doll 60 is supported at the tip of the operation rod 65 and can be operated vertically, horizontally or diagonally by operating the operation grip 66. Further, the goalkeeper doll 60 can fly away from the operation rod 65 by pressing the button 67 of the operation grip 66.

[0020] 《Detailed Configuration》 (Ball 11) FIG. 3 is a front view of the ball 11. The ball 11 is not particularly limited, but is preferably formed of a soft and lightweight material. For example, the ball 11 is formed of sponge. In the ball 11, holes 11a for securing the airway in case of accidental ingestion are formed to penetrate vertically, horizontally and longitudinally of the ball 11. The holes 11a are connected to each other at the center of the ball 11. These holes 11a constitute fitting recesses that can be fitted with the fitting projections 13b described later, and by the fitting, the ball 11 is set at a predetermined position on the ball stand 13. Note that the holes 11a for securing the airway of the ball 11 only need to penetrate in one direction vertically, horizontally and longitudinally of the ball 11. Further, the fitting recesses that can be fitted with the fitting projections 13b may be formed separately from the holes 11a for securing the airway.

[0021] 〈Kicker Doll 10〉 FIG. 4 is a rear view of the kicker doll 10. In the kicker doll 10, a leg shaft (here, the left leg) 10a is screwed to the base 12 at the sole portion. The tip of the leg shaft 10a faces left outward with respect to the orientation of the upper body, and the portion above the heel of the leg shaft 10a is inclined leftward with respect to the vertical axis in a rear view. Also, the upper body of the kicker doll 10 is upright with respect to the base 12 in a rear view.

[0022] The movable leg 10b of the kicker doll 10 is configured to be rotatable back and forth about a rotation axis 14 (FIG. 2) corresponding to the hip joint portion of the kicker doll 10. The rotation of the movable leg 10b is performed within a plane facing obliquely upward to the right front.

[0023] The movable leg 10b is rotatably attached to the rotation axis 14. Although not shown, inside the movable leg 10b, a protrusion provided on the movable leg 10b and a protrusion provided on the rotation axis 14 are in contact with each other by a torsion spring wound around the rotation axis 14 and having one end fixed to the rotation axis 14. Thereby, when the movable leg 10b is swung upward rearward and when the movable leg 10b is swung forward, the movable leg 10b and the rotation axis 14 operate integrally. Also, when the movable leg 10b is locked at the rearward swing-up position and the movable leg 10b is forced to move forward, only the movable leg 10b moves forward against the biasing force of the torsion spring.

[0024] FIG. 5(A) is a side view of the leg 100b of the movable leg 10b, and FIG. 5(B) is a top view of the leg 100b. As shown in FIG. 5(A), the leg 100b of the movable leg 10b has a certain thickness. And, the central portion in the width direction of the tip portion is an inclined surface 101b such that the height of the back decreases from the back of the leg 100b toward the tip, and the right side portion of the central portion is also an inclined surface 102b such that the height of the back decreases from the back of the leg 100b toward the outer edge and the tip (edge) of the leg 100b. Further, the left side portion of the central portion is also an inclined surface 103b such that the height of the back decreases from the back of the leg 100b toward the inner edge and the tip of the leg 100b. By providing the inclined surfaces 101b, 102b, and 103b at the toe portion in this way, the ball 11 can be rubbed up depending on the set position of the ball 11, and the ball 11 can be rotated and traced a curved trajectory. For example, when rubbing up the ball 11 on the inclined surface 102b, the ball 11 can be kicked out so as to curve to the right while increasing the height.

[0025] (Locking mechanism of the moving leg 10b) FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the locking mechanism when the moving leg 10b is swung forward, and FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the locking mechanism when the moving leg 10b is swung upward backward. A gear 15 is fixedly provided on a rotating shaft 14 protruding into the shaft leg 10a. On the gear 15, a sector gear 17 that rotates about the axis 16 is provided. A coil spring 18 that biases the moving leg 10b in the direction of swinging forward is hung between the sector gear 17 and the upper body fixing portion of the kicker doll 10. Further, the sector gear 17 is provided with a locked portion 19 that rotates integrally about the same axis. On the outer periphery of the locked portion 19, a stepped portion 19a with a rapidly changing diameter is provided. On the other hand, a locking lever 20 that can rotate about the axis 20a is provided beside the gear 15. The upper end portion of the locking lever 20 can be separated from and contacted with the locked portion 19 according to the rotation direction of the locking lever 20. A coil spring 21 that brings the upper end portion of the locking lever 20 closer to the locked portion 19 is provided between the locking lever 20 and the fixing portion of the shaft leg 10a. According to the locking mechanism of the moving leg 10b, when the moving leg 10b is swung upward backward and the locked portion 19 rotates counterclockwise by a predetermined angle via the gear 15 and the sector gear 17 in FIG. 6, due to the biasing force of the coil spring 21, after the upper end portion of the locking lever 20 comes into sliding contact with the locked portion 19, it engages with the stepped portion 19a (FIG. 7). Thereby, the reverse rotation of the sector gear 17 due to the biasing force of the coil spring 18 stored is prevented, and the moving leg 10b is locked at the backward swung-up position. The ball launching mechanism is constituted by the locking mechanism configured as described above and the unlocking mechanism described below.

[0026] (Lock release mechanism for the movable leg 10b) Inside the shaft leg 10a, a lock release lever 23 that rotates around the shaft 22 is provided. The lower end of this lock release lever 23 protrudes below the kicker doll 10 and extends to the inside of the base 12.

[0027] Figure 8 is a perspective view showing the internal mechanism of the kicker doll 10 and the base 12. The base 12 is provided with an operation lever 12b that rotates around the shaft 24a. One end of this operation lever 12b is biased in a direction away from the lock release lever 23 by a coil spring 24b. When the operation lever 12b is operated against the biasing force of the coil spring 24b, one end of the operation lever 12b presses the lower end of the lock release lever 23. As a result, the lock release lever 23 rotates clockwise in FIG. 7 around the shaft 22, and the upper end of the lock release lever 23 presses the lower end of the locking lever 20. Then, the locking lever 20 rotates counterclockwise in FIG. 7 around the shaft 20a, and the engagement between the upper end of the locking lever 20 and the step portion 19a is released. Thereby, the locking of the movable leg 10b is released, and the movable leg 10b is vigorously swung forward by the biasing force of the preloaded coil spring 18.

[0028] 〈Ball stand 13〉 Figure 9(A) is a front view of the ball stand 13, and Figure 9(B) is a bottom view of the ball stand 13. The ball stand 13 includes a mountain-shaped pedestal 13a and a fitting protrusion 13b erected at the center of the top of the pedestal 13a. Here, the pedestal 13a is a frustum of a cone. And a conical fitting protrusion 13b having a bottom diameter smaller than the upper surface diameter of the pedestal 13a is formed at the center of the upper surface of the frustum of the cone. Thereby, an annular plane formed by the upper surface of the pedestal 13a is formed around the fitting protrusion 13b. This annular plane is used to place the edge of the hole 11a of the ball 11. The fitting projection 13b fits into the hole 11a of the ball 11 to hold the ball 11 to such an extent that it does not prevent the launch of the ball 11. The bottom surface diameter of the fitting projection 13b is substantially the same as the diameter of the hole 11a of the ball 11. Also, the top of the fitting projection 13b is rounded. According to this ball stand 13, due to the presence of the annular plane, the fitting depth between the fitting projection 13b and the hole 11a of the ball 11 can always be kept constant, and the ball 11 can be stably held on the pedestal 13a.

[0029] Also, the ball stand 13 is movable in a predetermined direction along the upper surface of the base 12. The moving direction and the moving range of the ball stand 13 are not limited as long as they are in the direction and range in which the moving leg 10b reaches the ball 11 set on the ball stand 13. Here, as shown in FIG. 9, the moving direction and the moving range are in a direction substantially parallel to the extending direction of the intersection line where the rotating surface of the moving leg 10b intersects the upper surface of the base 12, and moreover, it is in a range smaller than the diameter of the pedestal 13b. Also, as shown in FIGS. 9(A) and 9(B), a projection 13c having a rectangular cross section is provided below the ball stand 13. This projection 13c enters from above into a long hole 12c (see FIG. 10) formed by penetrating the upper wall of the base 12 vertically. Thereby, the ball stand 13 is movable along the long hole 12c.

[0030] (Moving mechanism of the ball stand 13) The protrusion 13c of the ball stand 13 is passed through the long hole 12c and fitted into a rectangular recess (not shown) of the rack 25 inside the base 12 as shown in FIG. 7, and is screwed to the rack 25. The rack 25 is configured to be movable along the long hole 12c and is connected to the operation lever 12a via the link 26. Specifically, the rack 25 is rotatably connected to one end of the link 26 via a pin (not shown), and the other end of the link 26 is rotatably connected to one end of the operation lever 12a via the pin 28a. Further, the operation lever 12a is configured to be rotatable about the shaft 28b. As a result, when the operation lever 12a is operated, the rack 25 moves in one direction or the other direction of the long hole 12c according to the operation direction of the operation lever 12a.

[0031] Also, as shown in FIG. 8, six teeth 25a are arranged side by side on the side of the rack 25. On the other hand, a positioning claw member 27 is provided next to the rack 25. The claw member 27 is configured to be rotatable about the shaft 27a, and is biased by the coil spring 27c in the direction in which the claw 27b at one end contacts the rack 25. The claw 27b is configured to mesh with the teeth 25a of the rack 25, and by operating the operation lever 12a, the position of the ball stand 13 can be changed in five steps. In the embodiment, it is assumed that the position of the ball stand 13 can be changed in five steps. However, as long as it is within the range where the leg of the movable leg 10b hits the ball 11, it may be configured to be able to change the position of the ball stand 13 steplessly.

[0032] 〈Player display body 90〉 FIG. 11 is a perspective view of the player display body 90. The player display body 90 includes a panel 91 on which two field players are drawn side by side, and a stand 92 for standing up the panel 91. The panel 91 is formed of cardboard or plastic. On the other hand, an insertion groove 93 into which the panel 91 can be inserted and removed is formed in the stand 92. The panel 91 is attached to the stand 92 by inserting the lower end of the panel 91 into the insertion groove 93.

[0033] 〈Goal 50〉 FIG. 12 is a perspective view of the goal device, and FIG. 13 is an exploded perspective view of the goal 50. Hereinafter, the description will be made with the side of the keeper doll 60 being the "front" and the side of the operation grip 66 being the "rear". The goal device includes a goal 50, a keeper doll 60, and an operation rod 65. The goal 50 is composed of panel 50a, 50b, 50c, 50d, 50e made of a grid-patterned plastic (e.g., polypropylene) and a pedestal 52. Panels 50a and 50b are panels that form side walls. These panels 50a and 50b have a shape in which the upper side and the rear side of the rectangular panel meet at a chamfered corner to form a beveled edge. Panels 50c, 50d, and 50e are each rectangular and integrally formed. Each joint is thin-walled and can be bent at the joint part. And panel 50c is attached to the upper side of panels 50a and 50b, panel 50d is attached to the beveled edge, and panel 50e is attached to the rear side by means of concave-convex fitting. Also, a recess 51 that opens downward is formed at the center in the width direction of panel 50e. And a pedestal 52 is detachably attached under panel 50e. Note that all of panels 50a, 50b, 50c, 50d, and 50e may be integrally formed so as to be foldable, or panels 50a, 50b, 50c, 50d, and 50e may be individually configured.

[0034] (Operation rod 65) FIG. 14 is a perspective view of the keeper doll 60, the operation rod 65, and the pedestal 52. The operation rod 65 is attached to the goal 50 in a form that passes through the space defined by the upper edge, side edge of the recess 51 of the panel 50e, and the pedestal 52 in the front-rear direction. The operating rod 65 has a structure in which a doll holder 69 is provided at the tip of the stick 68 and an operation grip 66 is provided at the rear end of the stick 68. The doll holder 69 and the operation grip 66 are provided so as to stand upright upward with respect to the stick 68. By providing the doll holder 69 and the operation grip 66 so as to stand upright in the same direction, the operation grip 66 can be operated in the same direction as the direction in which the keeper doll 60 is desired to be moved, so that an intuitive operation of the operation grip 66 becomes possible.

[0035] (Movement etc. of the keeper doll 60) Also, as shown in FIG. 14, a flange portion 68a that projects fan-shaped is formed near the operation grip 66 of the stick 68. This flange portion 68a fits into a groove 53 formed on the upper surface of the pedestal 52. Then, by sliding the flange portion 68a left and right on the bottom surface of the groove 53, the keeper doll 60 can be moved left and right. Also, by rolling the flange portion 68a while it is in contact with the bottom surface of the groove 53, the keeper doll 60 can be tilted left and right.

[0036] (Doll release mechanism) FIG. 15 is a rear side perspective view of the keeper doll 60, and FIG. 16 is a front side perspective view of the doll holder 69. A slider 61 is provided on the back of the keeper doll 60. A lip groove 62 that extends in the vertical direction is formed in the slider 61. In the slider 61, the upper end of the lip groove 62 is closed and the lower end is open. On the other hand, a pair of guides 73 that can be slidably fitted into the lip groove 62 of the slider 61 from below are provided so as to project from the doll holder 69.

[0037] Also, a pair of claws 63 are provided on the back side below the waist of the keeper doll 60. On the other hand, inside the doll holder 69, a claw member 75 (see FIG. 17) that can rotate about the shaft 75a is provided. The claw member 75 is provided with a pair of claws 75b that protrude from the front surface of the doll holder 69 and can engage with the claws 63. The pair of claws 75b fit the lip groove 62 of the keeper doll 60 and the guide 73 of the doll holder 69, and when the keeper doll 60 is slid along the guide 73 to the lower limit position, they engage with the pair of claws 63 by the biasing force of a coil spring 80 described later. Thereby, the keeper doll 60 is held by the doll holder 69. Note that a torsion spring having the same function as the coil spring 80 can be provided on the claw member 75 to omit the coil spring 80, or the torsion spring can be provided in combination with the coil spring 80.

[0038] On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 18, a linearly movable member 76 that can move up and down is provided inside the operation grip 66. This linearly movable member 76 is biased upward by a coil spring 77 hung between it and the fixed part of the operation grip 66, and by pressing the button 67, it moves downward against the biasing force of the coil spring 77.

[0039] The linearly movable member 76 and the claw member 75 are connected to each other by a link 78 provided in the stick 68. That is, a pin 76a is attached to the lower end of the linearly movable member 76, and this pin 76a engages with an inclined long hole 78a formed at the rear end of the link 78. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 16, another inclined long hole 78b is formed at the front end of the link 78, and a pin 75c attached to a portion of the claw member 75 away from the shaft 75a engages with this long hole 78b. Thereby, when the button 67 is pressed and the linearly movable member 76 descends, the link 78 moves rearward, the claw member 75 rotates in a predetermined direction, and the engagement between the claws 75b and the claws 63 is released. Note that a coil spring having the same function as the coil spring 77 can be provided on the link 78 to bias it forward to omit the coil spring 77, or the coil spring can be provided in combination with the coil spring 77.

[0040] Also, as shown in FIG. 19, a pushing member 79 is provided near the claw member 75 so as to be vertically movable. The pushing member 79 is biased upward by a coil spring 80. The pushing member 79 is provided with a protruding piece 79a that can abut against the abutting portion 64 (FIG. 15) on the lower side of the slider 61. When the keeper doll 60 is lowered along the guide 73, the protruding piece 79a is pressed by the abutting portion 64 under the slider 61 and is pushed downward against the biasing force of the coil spring 80. As a result, the biasing force of the coil spring 80 is stored. Then, the claw 75b and the claw 63 are engaged.

[0041] When the button 67 is pressed in this state, the linear motion member 76 descends, and the link 78 moves rearward, so that the claw member 75 rotates in a predetermined direction to release the engagement between the claw 75b and the claw 63. The pushing member 79 rises by the biasing force of the coil spring 80, and the keeper doll 60 is pushed out, whereby the keeper doll 60 is released.

[0042] (Operation of the kicker doll 10) The kicker doll 10 of the soccer game apparatus 100 configured as described above operates as follows.

[0043] By manually lifting the moving leg 10b of the kicker doll 10 upward (FIG. 20(A)), the rotating shaft 14 and the gear 15 rotate counterclockwise in FIG. 5, and further, the sector gear 17 meshing with the gear 15 rotates clockwise in FIG. 5. Then, the locked portion 19 integrated with the sector gear 17 rotates in the same direction as the sector gear 17, and the stepped portion 19a of the locked portion 19 engages with the upper end of the locking lever 20 by the biasing force of the coil spring 21 (FIG. 7). As a result, the reverse rotation of the sector gear 17 and the rotating shaft 14 is prevented, and the moving leg 10b is locked in the lifted position. Also, by the rotation of the sector gear 17, the biasing force of the coil spring 18 is stored.

[0044] Next, when the operation lever 12b is operated rearward, the lower end of the unlocking lever 23 in the state of FIG. 6 is pushed by the operation lever 12b, and the unlocking lever 23 rotates clockwise. Then, the lower end of the locking lever 20 is pushed by the upper end of the unlocking lever 23, and the locking lever 20 rotates counterclockwise, releasing the engagement between the upper end of the locking lever 20 and the stepped portion 19a of the locked portion 19. As a result, the moving leg 10b is vigorously swung forward by the biasing force of the preloaded coil spring 18 and kicks the ball 11 set on the ball stand 13 (FIGS. 20(B) and (C)).

[0045] In this case, when the ball 11 set on the ball stand 13 is at a position relatively close to the kicker doll 10, the tip of the moving leg 10b of the kicker doll 10 enters below the ball 11. For example, in the case of FIG. 20(B), the foot of the moving leg 10b enters below the ball 11 by the rotation of the moving leg 10b and rubs the ball 11 on the inclined surface 102b. Therefore, the ball 11 is kicked high forward, and the kicked ball 11 curves to the right. On the other hand, when the ball 11 is at a position relatively far from the kicker doll 10, the edge of the moving leg 10b of the kicker doll 10 hits near the middle in the vertical direction of the ball 11. Therefore, the ball 11 is not rubbed up and is kicked straight forward.

[0046] (Effects of the Embodiment) According to the above embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.

[0047] According to the above embodiment, since the ball 11 is set by fitting the fitting protrusion 13b into the hole 11a of the ball 11, the ball 11 can be reliably and stably set at a predetermined set position.

[0048] Also, according to the above embodiment, since the fitting protrusion 13b has a conical shape, the fitting protrusion 13b and the hole 11a can be easily fitted together by simply placing the ball 11 with the top of the fitting protrusion 13b aligned with the hole 11a of the ball 11.

[0049] Furthermore, according to the above embodiment, since the fitting projection 13b is conical, it is possible to prevent the ball 11 from coming off when the moving leg 10b hits the set ball 11 better.

[0050] Also, according to the above embodiment, since the fitting projection 13b is formed on the ball stand 13, a ball without a fitting recess (referred to as a non-standard ball) cannot be set at the location of the fitting projection 13b because it is obstructed by the fitting projection 13b. Moreover, since the pedestal 13a of the ball stand 13 is mountain-shaped, even if an attempt is made to place a non-standard ball on the pedestal 13a, the ball rolls and cannot be set on the pedestal 13a either.

[0051] Also, according to the above embodiment, by moving the ball stand 13, the hitting location and hitting condition of the moving leg 10b on the ball 11 can be changed, so the trajectory of the kicked ball 11 can be varied in various ways. That is, in the kicker doll 10 of the embodiment, referring to FIG. 20, the trajectory of the foot of the moving leg 10b is from the upper right rear to the lower left front when viewed from above. Also, the height of the foot of the moving leg 10b changes as high → low → high with the rotation. Also, the direction of the toe changes due to the rotation of the moving leg 10b. As a result, depending on the setting position of the ball 11, the contact location or contact mode between the foot of the moving leg 10b and the ball 11 changes, so balls 11 with various trajectories can be kicked. In particular, in the case where the inclined surfaces 101b, 102b, and 103b are provided, depending on the setting position of the ball 11, the ball 11 can be rubbed up, so a large change can be caused in the trajectory of the ball 11.

[0052] Furthermore, according to the above embodiment, since the inclined surfaces 101b, 102b, and 103b are provided on the foot 100b of the moving leg 10b such that the height of the instep decreases from the instep toward the edge of the foot 100b, the ball 11 can be rubbed up depending on the setting position of the ball 11, and the ball 11 can be made to rotate and draw a curved trajectory.

[0053] (Modification example) As described above, the embodiments of the present invention have been explained. Needless to say, the present invention is not limited to such embodiments, and various modifications are possible.

[0054] In the above embodiment, the movable leg (striking part) 10b of the kicker doll 10 is applied to the ball 11 to send the ball 11 flying. However, a hitting tool such as a baseball bat, a racket, or a golf club carried by the doll may be used as the striking part to send the ball 11 flying.

[0055] Also, in the above embodiment, the movable leg 10b of the kicker doll 10 is swung upward to the rear and locked, and by releasing the lock, the movable leg 10b is configured to swing forward. However, it may be configured such that the movable leg 10b of the kicker doll 10 is swung upward to the rear by hand, and just by releasing the hand from the movable leg 10b, the movable leg 10b is swung forward. In this case, a launching mechanism may be provided in the kicker doll 10, and the locking of the movable leg 10b may be released by operating an operating element attached to the kicker doll 10. Alternatively, a motor may be used to swing up the movable leg 10b to store energy in the coil spring 18, or a locking release member 23 that releases the locking of the swung-up movable leg 10b may be operated by a motor.

[0056] Also, in the above embodiment, the ball stand 13 is configured to be movable along the upper surface of the base 12. However, within a range where the fitting protrusion 13b does not sink below the upper surface of the base 12, the ball stand 13 may be configured to be movable up and down.

[0057] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the ball stand 13 is configured to be movable along the upper surface of the base 12. However, within a range where the foot of the movable leg 10b reaches the ball 11, the launching mechanism may be configured to be movable along the upper surface of the base 12. Alternatively, within a range where the foot of the movable leg 10b reaches the ball 11, both the ball stand 13 and the launching mechanism may be configured to be movable.

[0058] In the above-described embodiment, the moving direction and range of the ball stand 13 are substantially parallel to the extending direction of the intersection line where the rotating surface of the moving leg 10b intersects the upper surface of the base 12. However, it may be moved in the left-right direction at a position in front of the kicker doll 10, or may be moved in the front-rear direction at a position on the side of the kicker doll 10. By doing so, depending on the set position of the ball 11, various parts of the foot of the moving leg 10b can be applied to the ball 11, and the trajectory of the kicked ball 11 will change in various ways.

[0059] Also, the ball stand 13 may be attached to the base 12 by a magnet. And the attachment position of the ball stand 13 may be made changeable.

[0060] Although the modification examples have been described above, it goes without saying that these modification examples can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict.
