Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] For example, when playing a game using the jumping toy according to Patent Document 1 with a large number of people, the playing time per person until the game ends becomes short. On the other hand, in order to increase the playing time per person until the game ends, it is conceivable to increase the number of buttons. However, in this case, since it is necessary to provide a large number of buttons, the jumping toy may become larger in size, leading to a decrease in design quality. Thus, there was room for improvement in the jumping toy according to Patent Document 1 from the viewpoints of game playability and design quality.

[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide a jumping toy with high game playability and design quality.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] The jumping toy according to one aspect of the present invention includes a housing portion for housing the toy, a pedestal portion for holding the housing portion in a movable state, and a plurality of operation portions. The pedestal portion has a connecting portion and a disconnecting portion, and at least one first rotating portion that rotates in response to an operation on one of the plurality of operation portions, and when connected to the connecting portion, rotates in response to the rotation of at least one of the first rotating portions, while when in contact with the disconnecting portion, a second rotating portion that does not rotate even when at least one of the first rotating portions rotates, and a restricting portion that restricts the movement of the housing portion in a predetermined direction in an initial state. In a state where the second rotating portion is connected to the connecting portion, when the second rotating portion rotated in response to an operation on one of the operation portions reaches a predetermined position, the restriction on the housing portion by the restricting portion is released, and the housing portion moves in the predetermined direction.

Advantages of the Invention

[0007] According to the above configuration, it is possible to provide a jumping toy with high playability and design.

[0010] (Overall Structure) First, with reference to FIGS. 1 to 11, the overall structure of the jumping toy 100 will be described. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the jumping toy 100 includes a housing portion 1, a pedestal portion 2, and a plurality of operation portions 3. In the present embodiment, the jumping toy 100 includes three operation portions 3A, 3B, and 3C. Note that the operation portions 3 (3A, 3B, 3C) rotate respectively in response to the user's operation. In the present embodiment, the state illustrated in FIG. 1 is referred to as the initial state.

[0011] The housing portion 1 is configured to house the toy 200. In the present embodiment, the toy 200 is a toy imitating a dinosaur. The housing portion 1 includes a placement portion 11 and an enclosing portion 12. In the present embodiment, the toy 200 is a toy imitating a chain and is connected to the placement portion 11. However, the toy 200 may not be connected to the placement portion 11 by a toy imitating a chain. Further, as will be described in detail hereinafter, the housing portion 1 is movable in the rear upward direction (an example of a predetermined direction) by the rotation of the placement portion 11.

[0012] The placement portion 11 is a plate-shaped member having a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape. The toy 200 is placed on the placement portion 11. The placement portion 11 has a main body portion 111, an engagement mechanism 112, and a connection portion 113.

[0013] As illustrated in FIGS. 1, 2, and 10, the main body portion 111 is a plate-shaped member. The main body portion 111 has an insertion hole 1111 for inserting a part of the surrounding portion 12, a shaft portion 1112 extending in the front-rear direction from the four corners of the placement portion 11, a first through hole 1113, and a second through hole 1114. For convenience of illustration, only one insertion hole 1111 appears in FIG. 1, but in the present embodiment, the main body portion 111 has two insertion holes 1111. The insertion holes 1111 are provided on the left and right side surfaces of the main body portion 111. Also, for convenience of illustration, only two shaft portions 1112 appear in FIG. 1, but in the present embodiment, the main body portion 111 has four shaft portions 1112. The shaft portions 1112 are provided at the front and rear end portions of the left and right side surfaces of the main body portion 111. As illustrated in FIG. 3, the first through hole 1113 and the second through hole 1114 are provided in the rear side portion of the main body portion 111.

[0014] As illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, the engagement mechanism 112 has a housing portion 1121, a first engagement portion 1122, a second engagement portion 1123, a shaft member 1124, and a contact member 1125.

[0015] The housing portion 1121 is substantially rectangular parallelepiped-shaped. Inside the housing portion 1121, the first engagement portion 1122, the second engagement portion 1123, the shaft member 1124, and the contact member 1125 are accommodated.

[0016] The first engagement portion 1122 is substantially L-shaped in side view. The first engagement portion 1122 has a hole portion 1122a. The left end portion of the shaft member 1124 is inserted into the hole portion 1122a.

[0017] The second engagement portion 1123 is substantially L-shaped in side view. The second engagement portion 1123 has a hole portion 1123a. The right end portion of the shaft member 1124 is inserted into the hole portion 1123a.

[0018] The shaft member 1124 includes a main body portion 1124a and a pressing portion 1124b. The main body portion 1124a is substantially cylindrical. The pressing portion 1124b is provided substantially at the center of the main body portion 1124a. The pressing portion 1124b is provided so as to protrude rearward from the main body portion 1124a. The pressing portion 1124b is configured to press the contact member 1125.

[0019] The contact member 1125 is a plate-like member. The contact member 1125 is configured to contact the pressing portion 1124b of the shaft member 1124.

[0020] As illustrated in FIG. 1, the surrounding portion 12 has a shape imitating a cage. The surrounding portion 12 includes a first member 121 and a second member 122.

[0021] A hole portion 121a is provided at the lower end portion of the first member 121. For convenience of illustration, only the hole portion 121a on the rear side of the first member 121 appears in FIG. 1. However, in the present embodiment, the hole portion 121a is provided not only on the rear side but also on the front side of the first member 121. A hole portion 122a is provided at the lower end portion of the second member 122. For convenience of illustration, only the hole portion 122a on the rear side of the second member 122 appears in FIG. 1. However, in the present embodiment, the hole portion 122a is provided not only on the rear side but also on the front side of the second member 122. A shaft portion 1112 is inserted into each of the hole portion 121a and the hole portion 122a. For this reason, the first member 121 and the second member 122 are rotatable in a direction away from the main body portion 111 of the mounting portion 11 (outer direction) or in a direction approaching the main body portion 111 of the mounting portion 11 (inner direction).

[0022] As illustrated in FIG. 3, the first member 121 has a first engagement receiving portion 1211. The first engagement receiving portion 1211 is provided at the rear end portion of the first member 121. The first engagement receiving portion 1211 is configured to be engageable with the first engagement portion 1122. In the initial state, the first engagement receiving portion 1211 is engaged with the first engagement portion 1122.

[0023] The second member 122 has a second engaging receiving portion 1221. The second engaging receiving portion 1221 is provided at the rear end portion of the second member 122. The second engaging receiving portion 1221 is configured to be engageable with the second engaging portion 1123. In the initial state, the second engaging receiving portion 1221 is engaged with the second engaging portion 1123.

[0024] In the initial state, since the first engaging receiving portion 1211 is engaged with the first engaging portion 1122 and the second engaging receiving portion 1221 is engaged with the second engaging portion 1123, the state of the surrounding portion 12 is in a closed state in the initial state. The closed state means a state in which the surrounding portion 12 surrounds the toy 200. As illustrated in FIG. 1, in the closed state (initial state), the first member 121 and the second member 122 are in contact with each other. However, for example, when the main body portion 111 of the housing portion 1 moves upward and rearward, the engagement relationship between the first engaging receiving portion 1211 and the first engaging portion 1122 and the engagement relationship between the second engaging receiving portion 1221 and the second engaging portion 1123 are released. At this time, the first member 121 and the second member 122 rotate in a direction away from the main body portion 111. As a result, the contact relationship between the first member 121 and the second member 122 is released, and the state of the surrounding portion 12 changes from the closed state to the open state.

[0025] As illustrated in FIG. 10, the connecting portion 113 is provided at the lower portion of the main body portion 111. The connecting portion 113 is configured to connect to a connecting member 29 of the pedestal portion 2 described later.

[0026] As illustrated in FIG. 1, the pedestal portion 2 is disposed below the housing portion 1. The pedestal portion 2 is substantially T-shaped in plan view. As illustrated in FIGS. 1, 2, 4, and 6, the pedestal portion 2 includes a base member 21, a cover member 22, a first rotating portion 23, a second rotating portion 24, a third rotating body 25, a fourth rotating body 26, a restricting portion 27, a first pressing portion 28, and a connecting member 29. In the present embodiment, the pedestal portion 2 has three first rotating portions 23. That is, in the present embodiment, the pedestal portion 2 has a plurality of first rotating portions 23 corresponding to the plurality of operation portions 3.

[0027] As illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 6, the base member 21 includes a base main body portion 211, a first rod-shaped portion 212, and a second rod-shaped portion 213. The base main body portion 211 is substantially flat plate-shaped. The base main body portion 211 is substantially T-shaped in plan view. The base main body portion 211 constitutes the bottom surface of the jumping toy 100. The first rod-shaped portion 212 is substantially cylindrical. The first rod-shaped portion 212 extends upward from the base main body portion 211. The first rod-shaped portion 212 is inserted into the operation portion 3. The second rod-shaped portion 213 is substantially cylindrical. The second rod-shaped portion 213 extends upward from the base main body portion 211. The second rod-shaped portion 213 is inserted into a first rotating body 241 of a second rotating portion 24 described later.

[0028] As illustrated in FIG. 1, the cover member 22 is disposed so as to cover the base member 21. The cover member 22 is substantially T-shaped in plan view. Three hole portions 221 are provided in the cover member 22. The hole portions 221 are substantially circular in shape. The operation portion 3 projects upward from each of the hole portions 221.

[0029] Next, the first rotating portion 23 will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 6. In response to the rotation of one operation portion 3 among the plurality of operation portions 3, the first rotating portion 23 corresponding to the one operation portion 3 rotates. The first rotating portion 23 is disposed below the operation portion 3. The first rotating portion 23 is disposed outside the second rotating portion 24. The first rotating portion 23 is substantially circular in plan view. Each of the plurality of first rotating portions 23 has a hole portion 231, a connecting portion 232, a non-connecting portion 233, a first fitting portion 234, and an elastic body 235.

[0030] The hole portion 231 is provided substantially at the center of the first rotating portion 23. The first rod-shaped portion 212 of the pedestal portion 2 is inserted into the hole portion 231.

[0031] The connecting portion 232 has a plurality of tooth portions 232a. The tooth portions 232a are outside the first rotating portion 23 and extend in the planar direction of the first rotating portion 23. The connecting portion 232 is configured to be connected to the second rotating portion 24.

[0032] The disconnected portion 233 is smooth. Therefore, unlike the connecting portion 232, the disconnected portion 233 does not have a tooth portion. The disconnected portion 233 is configured to abut against the second rotating portion 24. In this embodiment, although the ratios of the connecting portion 232 and the disconnected portion 233 each of the plurality of first rotating portions 23 has are equal, the ratios may be different for each first rotating portion 23.

[0033] The first fitting portion 234 is provided along the circumferential direction of the first rotating portion 23. The first fitting portion 234 is substantially circular in plan view. The diameter of the first fitting portion 234 is smaller than the diameter of the first rotating portion 23. The first fitting portion 234 has a plurality of tooth portions 234a. The plurality of tooth portions 234a are provided over the entire circumferential direction of the first fitting portion 234. The tooth portion 234a extends upward with respect to the plane of the first rotating portion 23. That is, the tooth portion 234a extends toward the operation portion 3.

[0034] The elastic body 235 is, for example, a spring member. The elastic body 235 is arranged so as to cover the first rod-shaped portion 212. The lower end portion of the elastic body 235 is in contact with the upper plane portion of the first rotating portion 23, and the upper end portion of the elastic body 235 is in contact with the operation portion 3. For this reason, the elastic body 235 applies an elastic force upward to the operation portion 3.

[0035] The second rotating portion 24 is arranged inside the base main body portion 211 rather than the three first rotating portions 23. The second rotating portion 24 includes a first rotating body 241 and a second rotating body 242. The first rotating body 241 is substantially circular in plan view. Each of the plurality of first rotating bodies 241 has a hole portion 2411 and a tooth portion 2412.

[0036] The hole portion 2411 is provided substantially at the center of the first rotating body 241. The second rod-shaped portion 213 of the pedestal portion 2 is inserted into the hole portion 2411.

[0037] The tooth portion 2412 is provided over the entire circumferential direction of the first rotating body 241. The tooth portion 2412 extends in the outer direction of the first rotating body 241 and in the plane direction of the first rotating body 241. The tooth portion 2412 is configured to be connectable to the tooth portion 232a of the connecting portion 232. Therefore, the first rotating body 241 is connectable to the connecting portion 232. Also, the tooth portion 2412 is connectable to the second rotating body 242. Therefore, the first rotating body 241 is connectable to the second rotating body 242 as well. Thus, the first rotating body 241 is connectable to both the connecting portion 232 of the first rotating portion 23 and the second rotating body 242. That is, the second rotating portion 24 is connectable to the first rotating portion 23.

[0038] Each of the tooth portions 2412 is connected to the connecting portion 232 of the first rotating portion 23 or abuts against the non-connecting portion 233 of the first rotating portion 23. That is, each of the first rotating bodies 241 of the second rotating portion 24 is connected to the connecting portion 232 of the first rotating portion 23 or abuts against the non-connecting portion 233 of the first rotating portion 23. Therefore, when the first rotating body 241 is connected to the connecting portion 232 of the first rotating portion 23, it rotates in accordance with the rotation of the first rotating portion 23. On the other hand, when the first rotating body 241 abuts against the non-connecting portion 233 of the first rotating portion 23, it does not rotate even when the first rotating portion 23 rotates.

[0039] The second rotating body 242 rotates in accordance with the rotation of the first rotating body 241. Therefore, when the first rotating body 241 is connected to the connecting portion 232 of the first rotating portion 23, the second rotating body 242 rotates in accordance with the rotation of the first rotating body 241. On the other hand, when the first rotating body 241 abuts against the non-connecting portion 233 of the first rotating portion 23, the second rotating body 242 does not rotate even when the first rotating portion 23 rotates. The second rotating body 242 includes a main body portion 2421, a shaft portion 2422, an elastic body 2423, a rotating member 2424, and a fifth rotating body 2425.

[0040] The main body portion 2421 is substantially circular in plan view. The diameter of the main body portion 2421 is larger than the diameter of the first rotating portion 23 and the diameter of the first rotating body 241. As illustrated in FIGS. 4 to 7, the main body portion 2421 has a plurality of tooth portions 2421a, a plurality of tooth portions 2421b, a cylindrical portion 2421c, and a second pressing portion 2421d. For convenience of illustration, only one second pressing portion 2421d appears in FIGS. 6 and 7. However, in the present embodiment, the main body portion 2421 has two second pressing portions 2421d.

[0041] The plurality of tooth portions 2421a and the plurality of tooth portions 2421b are provided over the entire circumferential direction of the main body portion 2421. The tooth portion 2421a extends in the outer direction of the second rotating body 242 and in the plane direction of the second rotating body 242. The tooth portion 2421a is connected to the tooth portion 232a of each connecting portion 232.

[0042] The tooth portion 2421b extends in the inner direction of the second rotating body 242 and in the plane direction of the second rotating body 242. The tooth portion 2421b is configured to be connected to the third rotating body 25.

[0043] The cylindrical portion 2421c is substantially cylindrical. A shaft portion 2422 is inserted into the cylindrical portion 2421c.

[0044] As illustrated in FIGS. 6 and 7, the second pressing portion 2421d extends in the plane direction of the second rotating body 242 from the cylindrical portion 2421c toward the outside of the cylindrical portion 2421c. The second pressing portion 2421d is substantially I-shaped in plan view. Since the second pressing portion 2421d is provided on the main body portion 2421, when the main body portion 2421 rotates, the second pressing portion 2421d also rotates in accordance with the rotation of the main body portion 2421. The second pressing portion 2421d is configured to press at least a part of the restricting portion 27 (specifically, the rotating portion 273 of the restricting portion 27 described later) when the second rotating portion 24 rotated in response to an operation by the user on one operation portion 3 comes to a predetermined position.

[0045] The shaft portion 2422 is substantially cylindrical. The diameter of the shaft portion 2422 is slightly shorter than the diameter of the cylindrical portion 2421c. An outward extension portion 2422a that is substantially circular in plan view is provided in the upper portion of the shaft portion 2422.

[0046] The elastic body 2423 is, for example, a spring member. The upper end portion of the elastic body 2423 is in contact with the outward extension portion 2422a of the shaft portion 2422, and the lower end portion of the elastic body 2423 is in contact with the upper planar portion of the rotating member 2424.

[0047] A hole portion (not shown) is provided substantially at the center of the rotating member 2424. The shaft portion 2422 is inserted into the hole portion. Therefore, when the main body portion 2421 rotates, the rotating member 2424 rotates according to the rotation of the main body portion 2421. The rotating member 2424 has a fitting portion 2424a.

[0048] The fitting portion 2424a is provided at the lower end portion of the rotating member 2424. The fitting portion 2424a is provided so as to extend downward from the rotating member 2424.

[0049] The fifth rotating body 2425 is disposed between the main body portion 2421 and the rotating member 2424. A hole portion (not shown) is provided substantially at the center of the fifth rotating body 2425. The shaft portion 2422 is inserted into the hole portion. Therefore, when the main body portion 2421 rotates, the fifth rotating body 2425 rotates according to the rotation of the main body portion 2421. The fifth rotating body 2425 has a plurality of tooth portions 2425a and a fitting portion 2425b.

[0050] The tooth portions 2425a are in the outer direction of the fifth rotating body 2425 and extend in the planar direction of the fifth rotating body 2425. The tooth portions 2425a are configured to be connected to the fourth rotating body 26.

[0051] The fitting portion 2425b is provided so as to extend upward from the fifth rotating body 2425. The fitting portion 2425b fits with the fitting portion 2424a of the rotating member 2424.

[0052] The third rotating body 25 is substantially circular in plan view. The third rotating body 25 has a tooth portion (not shown) that connects to the tooth portion 2421b of the main body portion 2421, and a tooth portion 251 that connects to the fourth rotating body 26. Therefore, the third rotating body 25 rotates in accordance with the rotation of the main body portion 2421.

[0053] The fourth rotating body 26 is substantially circular in plan view. The fourth rotating body 26 has a tooth portion 261 that connects to the tooth portion 2425a of the fifth rotating body 2425, and a tooth portion (not shown) that connects to the third rotating body 25. Therefore, the fourth rotating body 26 rotates in accordance with the rotation of the third rotating body 25. Note that when the fourth rotating body 26 rotates, the fifth rotating body 2425 rotates, so when the main body portion 2421 rotates, the third rotating body 25, the fourth rotating body 26, and the fifth rotating body 2425 also rotate.

[0054] Next, the restricting portion 27 will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 8. The restricting portion 27 is configured to restrict the movement of the housing portion 1 in a predetermined direction (in this embodiment, the rear upper direction) in the initial state. The restricting portion 27 includes a housing portion 271, a shaft portion 272, a rotating portion 273, a plate-like member 274, an elastic body 275, and a shaft member 276.

[0055] The housing portion 271 is substantially rectangular parallelepiped-shaped. The lower portion of the connecting member 29 (see FIG. 2) is accommodated inside the housing portion 271. Further, the shaft portion 272, the rotating portion 273, the plate-like member 274, the elastic body 275, and the shaft member 276 are accommodated inside the housing portion 271. The housing portion 271 is provided with a hole portion 2711.

[0056] The hole portion 2711 is a substantially circular hole. The hole portion 2711 is provided on the right side surface and the left side surface of the housing portion 271, respectively. The shaft member 276 is inserted into the hole portion 2711.

[0057] The shaft portion 272 is substantially cylindrical. The shaft portion 272 is provided so as to extend upward from the bottom surface of the housing portion 271.

[0058] The rotating part 273 includes a main body part 2731, a hole part 2732, a contact part 2733, and an engaging part 2734. The main body part 2731 is substantially I-shaped in plan view.

[0059] The hole part 2732 is provided substantially at the center of the main body part 2731. The shaft part 272 is inserted into the hole part 2732.

[0060] The contact part 2733 is provided at the rear end part of the main body part 2731. The contact part 2733 protrudes toward the outer side (rear direction) of the main body part 2731. The contact part 2733 can contact the second pressing part 2421d of the second rotating body 242. When the contact part 2733 is pressed by the second pressing part 2421d, it moves in the pressing direction by the second pressing part 2421d (in the right direction in this embodiment). Therefore, when the contact part 2733 is pressed by the second pressing part 2421d, the rotating part 273 rotates counterclockwise about the shaft part 272.

[0061] The engaging part 2734 is provided at the end part of the main body part 2731 where the contact part 2733 is not provided (that is, the front end part of the main body part 2731). That is, the engaging part 2734 is provided on the opposite side of the contact part 2733. The engaging part 2734 can engage with the engaging receiving part 293 of the connecting member 29 described later. In the initial state, the engaging part 2734 is engaged with the engaging receiving part 293.

[0062] The plate-like member 274 is substantially I-shaped in plan view. The leg parts of the plate-like member 274 are accommodated in accommodation holes (not shown) provided on the bottom surface of the housing part 271. The upper surface of the plate-like member 274 is in contact with the lower end part of the elastic body 275. The lower surface of the plate-like member 274 is in contact with the upper end part of the shaft part 272.

[0063] The elastic body 275 is, for example, a spring member. The lower end part of the elastic body 275 is in contact with the upper surface of the plate-like member 274, and the upper end part of the elastic body 275 is accommodated inside the connecting member 29 (see FIG. 2).

[0064] The shaft member 276 is substantially cylindrical. Both ends of the shaft member 276 are inserted into the hole 2711 of the housing portion 271.

[0065] As illustrated in FIG. 9, the first pressing portion 28 is substantially T-shaped in plan view. The first pressing portion 28 presses the contact portion 33 of the operation portion 3 described later.

[0066] As illustrated in FIG. 10, the connecting member 29 is disposed between the placing portion 11 of the accommodating portion 1 and the restricting portion 27. As illustrated in FIG. 11, the connecting member 29 includes a main body portion 291, a hole portion 292, and an engaging receiving portion 293.

[0067] The main body portion 291 is substantially S-shaped in side view. The main body portion 291 is hollow. A part of the elastic body 275 (see FIG. 6) of the restricting portion 27 is accommodated inside the main body portion 291. Note that an upward elastic force by the elastic body 275 is applied to the main body portion 291. As illustrated in FIG. 10, the upper end portion of the main body portion 291 is connected to the connecting portion 113 of the placing portion 11.

[0068] As illustrated in FIG. 11, the hole portion 292 is provided at the lower end portion of the main body portion 291. The shaft member 276 (see FIG. 6) of the restricting portion 27 is inserted into the hole portion 292. Accordingly, the lower end portion of the connecting member 29 is connected to the restricting portion 27 via the shaft member 276. Further, since the lower end portion of the connecting member 29 is connected to the restricting portion 27, the connecting member 29 is rotatable about the shaft member 276.

[0069] The engaging receiving portion 293 is provided at the lower end portion of the main body portion 291. The engaging receiving portion 293 is substantially frustum-shaped. The engaging receiving portion 293 is engageable with the engaging portion 2734 of the rotating portion 273. Note that in the initial state, the engaging receiving portion 293 is engaged with the engaging portion 2734.

[0070] Before the user rotates the operation unit 3, since the engaging portion 2734 and the engagement receiving portion 293 are engaged, as illustrated in FIG. 10, the connecting member 29 does not rotate even when an upward elastic force is applied from the elastic body 275 of the restricting portion 27. However, when the second rotating body 242 rotates and the second pressing portion 2421d contacts the contact portion 2733 of the rotating portion 273, the second pressing portion 2421d presses the rotating portion 273. When the rotating portion 273 is pressed by the second pressing portion 2421d, it rotates counterclockwise. When the rotating portion 273 rotates counterclockwise, the engagement relationship between the engaging portion 2734 and the engagement receiving portion 293 is released. When the engagement relationship between the engaging portion 2734 and the engagement receiving portion 293 is released, the connecting member 29 rotates about the shaft member 276 due to the upward elastic force from the elastic body 275.

[0071] As illustrated in FIGS. 1, 5, and 9, the operation unit 3 is, for example, a dial having a substantially circular shape in plan view. The operation unit 3 has a substantially cylindrical shape. The operation unit 3 is rotatable according to a user's operation. The operation unit 3 includes a hole portion 31, a second fitting portion 32, a plurality of contact portions 33, and a plurality of step portions 34.

[0072] The hole portion 31 is provided at a substantially central portion of the operation unit 3. The first rod-shaped portion 212 provided on the base member 21 is inserted into the hole portion 31. Therefore, for example, when the user rotates the operation unit 3 while gripping the operation unit 3, the operation unit 3 rotates about the first rod-shaped portion 212 as a rotation axis. That is, for example, when the user rotates the operation unit 3 while gripping the operation unit 3, the operation unit 3 rotates about the rotation axis AX1 (see FIG. 9) as a rotation axis.

[0073] As illustrated in FIG. 5, the second fitting portion 32 is provided along the circumferential direction of the operation portion 3. The second fitting portion 32 is substantially circular in plan view. The diameter of the second fitting portion 32 is substantially equal to the diameter of the first fitting portion 234 of the first rotating portion 23. The second fitting portion 32 has a plurality of tooth portions 32a. The plurality of tooth portions 32a are provided over the entire circumferential direction of the second fitting portion 32. The tooth portion 32a extends downward with respect to the plane of the operation portion 3. That is, the tooth portion 32a extends toward the first fitting portion 234. In the initial state, since the second fitting portion 32 is pushed upward by the elastic force of the elastic body 235, it is not fitted to the first fitting portion 234. However, when a force in the direction opposite to the direction of the elastic force by the elastic body 235 (upward in this embodiment) (downward in this embodiment) is applied to the operation portion 3, the second fitting portion 32 descends and is fitted to the first fitting portion 234.

[0074] For example, in a state where the first fitting portion 234 of the first rotating portion 23 corresponding to the operation portion 3A and the second fitting portion 32 of the operation portion 3A are fitted, when the user rotates the operation portion 3A, the first rotating portion 23 rotates according to the rotation of the operation portion 3A. When the first rotating portion 23 corresponding to the operation portion 3A rotates, the second rotating portion 24 (that is, the first rotating body 241 and the second rotating body 242) rotates. When the second rotating portion 24 rotates, the second pressing portion 2421d contacts the contact portion 2733 of the rotating portion 273. As a result, the restricting portion 27 is pressed by the second pressing portion 2421d. When the rotating portion 273 of the restricting portion 27 is pressed by the second pressing portion 2421d, the rotating portion 273 rotates, and as a result, the engagement relationship between the engaging portion 2734 and the engagement receiving portion 293 is released, and the connecting member 29 rotates.

[0075] As illustrated in FIG. 9, the contact portion 33 is provided along the rotation direction of the operation portion 3. The contact portion 33 is smooth. The contact portion 33 is curved in plan view. One of the plurality of contact portions 33 is pressed by the first pressing portion 28.

[0076] The step portion 34 is formed between a plurality of contact portions 33. Therefore, the number of contact portions 33 is equal to the number of step portions 34. In this embodiment, the number of contact portions 33 and the number of step portions 34 is eight. The step portion 34 includes a first end portion 341 and a second end portion 342. The first end portion 341 is located at a position separated from the rotation axis AX1 of the operation portion 3 by a predetermined distance. The second end portion 342 is located at a position closer to the rotation axis AX1 of the operation portion 3 than the first end portion 341. For example, regarding the operation portion 3A, the first end portion 341A communicates with one contact portion 33A, and the second end portion 342A communicates with another contact portion 33B. Note that the structures of the operation portions 3B and 3C are the same as the structure of the operation portion 3A.

[0077] (How to play the jumping toy 100) Next, with reference to FIGS. 9, 10, and 12 to 15, the method of playing the jumping toy 100 will be described. A user playing with the jumping toy 100, for example, draws a card face down from among a plurality of cards with numbers written thereon, and performs a rotation operation on the operation portion 3 the number of times corresponding to the number written on the drawn card. However, the user may, for example, use a die instead of a card to determine the number of times to perform a rotation operation on the operation portion 3. In this case, the user rolls the die and performs a rotation operation on the operation portion 3 the number of times shown on the die. In this embodiment, a single rotation operation on the operation portion 3 does not mean rotating the operation portion 3 once around, but means rotating the operation portion 3 until a contact sound "click" described later is generated. When the user rotates the operation portion 3A clockwise, for example, in a state where the first pressing portion 28 presses the contact portion 33A of the operation portion 3A (that is, the state illustrated in FIG. 9), as illustrated in FIG. 12, the portion pressed by the first pressing portion 28 transitions from the contact portion 33A to the contact portion 33B. More specifically, in this case, the first pressing portion 28 contacts, in accordance with the rotation of the operation portion 3A, another contact portion 33B adjacent to the contact portion 33A by crossing over the step portion 34A from one contact portion 33A among the plurality of contact portions 33.

[0078] When the first pressing portion 28 overrides the stepped portion 34A and contacts the contact portion 33B, a contact sound of "click" is generated. When the contact sound is generated, it means that a rotational operation has been performed once on the operation unit 3. That is, for example, if the number described on the card drawn from among a plurality of cards is "3", the user performs a rotational operation on at least one operation unit 3 to generate the contact sound of "click" three times. At this time, the user may rotate the same operation unit 3 three times, or may perform a rotational operation once on each of the operation units 3A, 3B, and 3C, or may perform a rotational operation twice on the operation unit 3A and then perform a rotational operation once on the operation unit 3B. Repeating this, the user who changes the state of the surrounding portion 12 from the closed state to the open state loses, for example. However, the user who changes the state of the surrounding portion 12 from the closed state to the open state may be considered the winner.

[0079] For example, as a result of the number described on the card drawn from among a plurality of cards being "6", assume that the user performs a rotational operation six times on the operation unit 3A. In this case, the user applies a downward force to the operation unit 3A, fits the first fitting portion 234 of the first rotating portion 23 corresponding to the operation unit 3A and the second fitting portion 32 of the operation unit 3A, and then performs a clockwise rotational operation six times on the operation unit 3A. When the first rotating body 241 of the second rotating portion 24 and the connecting portion 232 of the first rotating portion 23 corresponding to the operation unit 3A are connected, the second rotating portion 24 (the first rotating body 241 and the second rotating body 242) rotates in accordance with the rotation of the first rotating portion 23 corresponding to the operation unit 3A. On the other hand, when the first rotating body 241 of the second rotating portion 24 and the non-connecting portion 233 of the first rotating portion 23 corresponding to the operation unit 3A are in contact, the second rotating portion 24 (the first rotating body 241 and the second rotating body 242) does not rotate even when the first rotating portion 23 corresponding to the operation unit 3A rotates.

[0080] In this embodiment, in the first and second rotation operations, the first rotating body 241 of the second rotating portion 24 is in contact with the disconnecting portion 233, and in the third to sixth rotation operations, the first rotating body 241 of the second rotating portion 24 is assumed to be connected to the connecting portion 232. That is, in this embodiment, the second rotating portion 24 (the first rotating body 241 and the second rotating body 242) did not rotate in the first and second rotation operations, but is assumed to have rotated in the third to sixth rotation operations. Also, before the user rotates the operation portion 3A, it is assumed that the engaging portion 2734 of the rotating portion 273 and the engaging receiving portion 293 of the connecting member 29 are engaged. Further, before the user rotates the operation portion 3A, it is assumed that the first engaging receiving portion 1211 is engaged with the first engaging portion 1122, and the second engaging receiving portion 1221 is engaged with the second engaging portion 1123. Therefore, before the user rotates the operation portion 3A, the state of the surrounding portion 12 is assumed to be in a closed state in the initial state.

[0081] As illustrated in FIG. 10, before the user rotates the operation portion 3A, since the engaging portion 2734 and the engaging receiving portion 293 are engaged, the connecting member 29 does not rotate even when an upward elastic force is applied from the elastic body 275 (see FIG. 6) of the restricting portion 27.

[0082] However, as illustrated in FIG. 13, when the second rotating body 242 rotates and the second pressing portion 2421d contacts the contact portion 2733 of the rotating portion 273, the second pressing portion 2421d presses the rotating portion 273. When the rotating portion 273 is pressed by the second pressing portion 2421d, it rotates counterclockwise. When the rotating portion 273 rotates counterclockwise, the engagement relationship between the engaging portion 2734 and the engaging receiving portion 293 is released.

[0083] When the engagement relationship between the engaging portion 2734 and the engagement receiving portion 293 is released, as illustrated in FIG. 14, the connecting member 29 rotates rearwardly upward about the shaft member 276 of the restricting portion 27 by the upward elastic force of the elastic body 275. Further, since the main body portion 291 of the connecting member 29 is connected to the connecting portion 113 of the mounting portion 11, when the connecting member 29 rotates, the housing portion 1 rotates rearwardly upward about the shaft member 1124 of the engaging mechanism 112. Further, when the housing portion 1 rotates, the engagement relationship between the first engagement receiving portion 1211 and the first engaging portion 1122 and the engagement relationship between the second engagement receiving portion 1221 and the second engaging portion 1123 are released. At this time, the first member 121 and the second member 122 rotate in a direction away from the main body portion 111. As a result, as illustrated in FIG. 15, the contact relationship between the first member 121 and the second member 122 is released, and the state of the surrounding portion 12 changes from the closed state to the open state. At this time, since the mounting portion 11 of the toy 200 rotates rearwardly upward, the toy 200 pops out rearward from the housing portion 1. When the state of the surrounding portion 12 changes from the closed state to the open state, the game is decided.

[0084] When the game is decided and the next game is to be started, the user can return to the initial state, for example, by moving the housing portion 1 forward while gripping the housing portion 1. When the user moves the housing portion 1 forward, the mounting portion 11 and the connecting member 29 connected to the mounting portion 11 rotate forwardly downward. When the connecting member 29 rotates, the engagement receiving portion 293 of the connecting member 29 contacts the engaging portion 2734 of the rotating portion 273, and as a result, the engaging portion 2734 returns to the position in the initial state.

[0085] By the way, when a game using a conventional jumping toy is played by a large number of people, the play time per person until the game ends often becomes short. On the other hand, in order to increase the play time per person until the game ends, it is conceivable to increase the number of buttons. In this case, however, since it is necessary to provide a large number of buttons, the jumping toy may be enlarged, leading to a decrease in design. As described above, there has been room for improvement in the conventional jumping toy from the viewpoints of game playability and design.

[0086] According to the above configuration, only when connected to the connecting portion 232 of the first rotating portion 23, the first rotating body 241 of the second rotating portion 24 rotates in accordance with the rotation of the first rotating portion 23. Therefore, without excessively increasing the number of operation portions 3, for example, the play time per person until the game ends can be extended. In the jumping toy 100, the game ends when the accommodating portion 1 moves in a predetermined direction (in this embodiment, the rear upward direction) due to the rotation of the second rotating portion 24. Also, in the jumping toy 100, since it is not necessary to excessively increase the number of operation portions 3, it is possible to prevent the jumping toy 100 from becoming large-sized and the design property from deteriorating. Thus, according to the jumping toy 100, the game property and the design property can be enhanced.

[0087] Also, according to the above configuration, a force in the direction opposite to the direction of the elastic force (in this embodiment, the upward direction) applied by the elastic body 235 of the first rotating portion 23 to the operation portion 3 (in this embodiment, the downward direction) is applied to the operation portion 3, so that the second fitting portion 32 of the operation portion 3 is fitted to the first fitting portion 234. Then, when the operation portion 3 is operated in a state where the first fitting portion 234 and the second fitting portion 32 are fitted, the first rotating portion 23 rotates. That is, the first rotating portion 23 does not rotate when the first fitting portion 234 and the second fitting portion 32 are not fitted, but rotates when the first fitting portion 234 and the second fitting portion 32 are fitted. Therefore, according to such a jumping toy 100, for example, only the operation portion 3 operated by the user moves, and the other operation portions 3 do not move. For this reason, it is possible to make it unclear which first rotating portion 23 corresponding to which operation portion 3 is in a connected state or a disconnected state with the first rotating body 241 of the second rotating portion 24.

[0088] Also, according to the above configuration, the first pressing portion 28 of the pedestal portion 2 contacts, in response to the rotation of the operation portion 3, another contact portion 33B adjacent to the one contact portion 33A by getting over the step portion 34A from one contact portion 33A among the plurality of contact portions 33. Since a contact sound is generated when the first pressing portion 28 gets over the step portion 24A and contacts another contact portion 33B, when the first pressing portion 28 contacts another contact portion 33B, the user can recognize that the operation portion 3 has been appropriately rotated by perceiving the contact sound. Further, for example, when playing with the jumping toy 100, when performing a rotation operation on the operation portion 3 by the number of eyes shown after drawing a card or rolling a die, not only the user who rotates the operation portion 3 but also other users can perceive that a rotation operation has been performed on the operation portion 3 due to the generation of the contact sound.

[0089] Also, according to the above configuration, the first end portion 341A located at a position separated from the rotation axis AX1 of the operation portion 3 by a predetermined distance communicates with one contact portion 33A, and the second end portion 342A located at a position closer to the rotation axis AX1 of the operation portion 3 than the first end portion 341A communicates with another contact portion 33B adjacent to the one contact portion 33A. Therefore, although the position where the first pressing portion 28 contacts the contact portion 33 can transition from the position where it contacts one contact portion 33A to the position where it contacts another contact portion 33B adjacent to the one contact portion 33A, it cannot transition from the position where it contacts the other contact portion 33B to the position where it contacts the one contact portion 33A. For this reason, the user can only rotate the operation portion 3 in a predetermined direction, that is, the direction in which the position where the first pressing portion 28 contacts the contact portion 33 transitions from the position where it contacts one contact portion 33A to the position where it contacts another contact portion 33B. Therefore, according to the jumping toy 100, it is possible to prevent the user from accidentally rotating the operation portion 3 in a direction opposite to the predetermined direction.

[0090] Further, according to the above configuration, in the initial state, the first engaging portion 1122 of the placement portion 11 is engaged with the first engaging receiver 1211 of the first member 121 of the surrounding portion 12, and the second engaging portion 1123 of the placement portion 11 is engaged with the second engaging receiver 1221 of the second member 122 of the surrounding portion 12. However, when the accommodating portion 1 moves in a predetermined direction (in this embodiment, the rear upper direction), the engagement relationship between the first engaging portion 1122 and the first engaging receiver 1211 and the engagement relationship between the second engaging portion 1123 and the second engaging receiver 1221 are released, and the state of the surrounding portion 12 changes from the closed state to the open state. Thus, according to the jumping toy 100, with a simple configuration, when the accommodating portion 1 moves in a predetermined direction from the position in the initial state, the state of the surrounding portion 12 can be changed from the closed state to the open state. Further, the surrounding portion 12 is configured to surround the toy 200 accommodated in the accommodating portion 1 in the initial state. Therefore, according to the jumping toy 100, when the accommodating portion 1 moves in a predetermined direction from the position in the initial state, an effect can also be performed on the user such that the toy 200 is released from the accommodating portion 1.

[0091] Further, according to the above configuration, the pedestal portion 2 has a plurality of first rotating portions 23 corresponding to the plurality of operating portions 3, and each of the plurality of first rotating portions 23 has a connecting portion 232 and a non-connecting portion 233. Therefore, according to the jumping toy 100, even when the user operates one of the plurality of operating portions 3, a situation may occur where the second rotating portion 24 does not rotate, and the randomness and thrill of the game can be enhanced.

[0092] Further, according to the above configuration, when the second rotating body 242 of the second rotating portion 24 rotated in response to an operation on one operating portion 3 reaches a predetermined position, the second pressing portion 2421d presses the rotating portion 273 of the restricting portion 27. Then, when the rotating portion 273 is pressed by 2421d, the restriction on the accommodating portion 1 by the restricting portion 27 is released, and the accommodating portion 1 moves in a predetermined direction (in this embodiment, the rear upper direction). Thus, according to the jumping toy 100, the restriction on the accommodating portion 1 by the restricting portion 27 can be released only by pressing the rotating portion 273 of the restricting portion 27 with 2421d.

[0093] Further, according to the above configuration, when the rotating part 273 of the restricting part 27 rotates by being pressed by the second pressing part 2421d, the restriction of the accommodating part 1 by the restricting part 27 is released, and the accommodating part 1 moves in a predetermined direction (in this embodiment, the rear upper direction). Thus, according to the jumping-up toy 100, the configuration of the restricting part 27 can be made relatively simple.

[0094] According to the embodiment of the present invention as described above, a game board of the following aspect can be provided.

[0095] The jumping-up toy according to the first aspect includes an accommodating part for accommodating a toy, a pedestal part for holding the accommodating part in a movable state, and a plurality of operation parts. The pedestal part has a connecting part and a non-connecting part, and at least one first rotating part that rotates in response to an operation on one of the plurality of operation parts, and rotates in response to the rotation of at least one of the first rotating parts when connected to the connecting part, while not rotating even when at least one of the first rotating parts rotates when in contact with the non-connecting part. A restricting part that restricts the movement of the accommodating part in a predetermined direction in the initial state. When the second rotating part comes to a predetermined position by being rotated in response to an operation on one of the operation parts while the second rotating part is connected to the connecting part, the restriction of the accommodating part by the restricting part is released, and the accommodating part moves in the predetermined direction.

[0096] According to this configuration, only when the second rotating part is connected to the connecting part of the first rotating part, the second rotating part rotates in response to the rotation of the first rotating part. Therefore, even if the number of operation parts is not excessively increased, for example, the play time per person until the game ends can be lengthened. In the jumping-up toy according to the above configuration, the game ends when the accommodating part moves in a predetermined direction due to the rotation of the second rotating part. Also, in the jumping-up toy according to the above configuration, since the number of operation parts does not need to be excessively increased, it is possible to prevent the jumping-up toy from becoming large-sized and the design property from deteriorating. Thus, according to the jumping-up toy according to the above configuration, the game property and the design property can be enhanced.

[0097] In the jumping toy according to the second aspect, the first rotating part has a first fitting part and an elastic body that applies an elastic force to the operating part. The operating part has a second fitting part that is fitted to the first fitting part when a force in a direction opposite to the direction of the elastic force is applied to the operating part. The first rotating part rotates in response to an operation on the operating part in a state where the first fitting part and the second fitting part are fitted together.

[0098] According to this configuration, when a force in a direction opposite to the direction of the elastic force applied by the elastic body of the first rotating part to the operating part is applied to the operating part, the second fitting part of the operating part is fitted to the first fitting part. Then, when the operating part is operated in a state where the first fitting part and the second fitting part are fitted together, the first rotating part rotates. That is, the first rotating part does not rotate when the first fitting part and the second fitting part are not fitted together, but rotates when the first fitting part and the second fitting part are fitted together. Therefore, according to the jumping toy according to the above configuration, for example, only the operating part operated by the user moves, and the other operating parts do not move. For this reason, it is possible to make it unclear which first rotating part corresponding to which operating part is in a connected state or a disconnected state with the second rotating part.

[0099] In the jumping toy according to the third aspect, the operating part is rotatable in response to the operation. The operating part includes a plurality of contact parts provided along the rotation direction of the operating part and a plurality of step parts formed between the plurality of contact parts. The pedestal part has a first pressing part that presses the contact parts. In response to the rotation of the operating part, the first pressing part moves from one contact part among the plurality of contact parts over the step part and contacts another contact part adjacent to the one contact part.

[0100] According to this configuration, the first pressing part of the pedestal part contacts, in accordance with the rotation of the operation part, another contact part adjacent to the one contact part by getting over the step part from one of the plurality of contact parts. Since a contact sound is generated when the first pressing part gets over the step part and contacts another contact part, when the first pressing part contacts another contact part, the user can recognize that the operation part has been appropriately rotated by perceiving the contact sound. Further, for example, when playing with the jumping toy, when performing a rotation operation on the operation part by the number of eyes shown after drawing a card or rolling a die, not only the user who rotates the operation part but also other users can perceive that a rotation operation has been performed on the operation part due to the generation of the contact sound.

[0101] In the jumping toy according to the fourth aspect, the step part includes a first end part located at a position separated from the rotation axis of the operation part by a predetermined distance, and a second end part located at a position closer to the rotation axis of the operation part than the first end part, the first end part communicates with the one contact part, and the second end part communicates with the other contact part.

[0102] According to this configuration, the first end part located at a position separated from the rotation axis of the operation part by a predetermined distance communicates with the one contact part, and the second end part located at a position closer to the rotation axis of the operation part than the first end part communicates with another contact part adjacent to the one contact part. Therefore, although the position where the first pressing part contacts the contact part can transition from the position where it contacts the one contact part to the position where it contacts another contact part adjacent to the one contact part, it cannot transition from the position where it contacts the other contact part to the position where it contacts the one contact part. For this reason, the user can only rotate the operation part in a predetermined direction, that is, in the direction in which the position where the first pressing part contacts the contact part transitions from the position where it contacts the one contact part to the position where it contacts another contact part. Therefore, according to the jumping toy according to the above configuration, it is possible to prevent the user from accidentally rotating the operation part in a direction opposite to the predetermined direction.

[0103] In the jumping toy according to the fifth aspect, the housing portion includes a placement portion on which the toy is placed, and an enclosure portion that is in a closed state surrounding the toy in the initial state. The placement portion has an engaging portion, and the enclosure portion has an engaging receiving portion that engages with the engaging portion in the initial state. When the housing portion moves in the predetermined direction, the engagement relationship between the engaging portion and the engaging receiving portion is released, and the state of the enclosure portion changes from the closed state to the open state.

[0104] According to this configuration, in the initial state, while the engaging portion of the placement portion and the engaging receiving portion of the enclosure portion are engaged, when the housing portion moves in the predetermined direction, the engagement relationship between the engaging portion and the engaging receiving portion is released, and the state of the enclosure portion changes from the closed state to the open state. Thus, according to the jumping toy according to the above configuration, with a simple configuration, when the housing portion moves in the predetermined direction from the position in the initial state, the state of the enclosure portion can be changed from the closed state to the open state. Further, the enclosure portion is configured to surround the toy housed in the housing portion in the initial state. Therefore, according to the jumping toy according to the above configuration, when the housing portion moves in the predetermined direction from the position in the initial state, it is also possible to perform an effect such that the toy is released from the housing portion for the user.

[0105] In the jumping toy according to the sixth aspect, the pedestal portion has a plurality of the first rotating portions corresponding to the plurality of the operating portions, and each of the plurality of the first rotating portions has the connecting portion and the disconnecting portion.

[0106] According to this configuration, the pedestal portion has a plurality of the first rotating portions corresponding to the plurality of the operating portions, and each of the plurality of the first rotating portions has the connecting portion and the disconnecting portion. Therefore, according to the jumping toy according to the above configuration, even when the user operates one of the plurality of the operating portions, the second rotating portion may not rotate, and the randomness and thrill of the game can be enhanced.

[0107] In the jumping toy according to the seventh aspect, the second rotating part has a second pressing part that presses at least a part of the restricting part when the second rotating part rotated in response to an operation on one of the operating parts reaches a predetermined position.
