[0008] Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0009] [1. Overall composition of the shooting game toy] Figures 1 and 2 are perspective views of the shooting toy 1 according to this embodiment, where Figure 1 shows the fire extinguishing training mode described later, and Figure 2 shows the fire station mode described later. Figure 3 is an exploded perspective view of the shooting toy 1. As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the shooting toy 1 allows users to play a shooting game that simulates firefighting using the vehicle toy C. The shooting toy 1 is an example of a rotating toy according to the present invention. Specifically, the shooting toy 1 includes a base unit 20, a shooting range unit 40 disposed on the base unit 20, and a launching device 60. The shooting range unit 40 and the launching device 60 rotate around a central axis Ax (see FIG. 4) along the vertical direction on the base unit 20. Thereby, the shooting toy 1 is configured to be capable of taking a fire extinguishing training mode M1 (FIG. 1) in which the launching device 60 is located on the front side of the base unit 20 and a fire department mode M2 (FIG. 2) in which the launching device 60 is located on the rear side of the base unit 20. In the following description, the front, rear, left, right, up, and down directions in the shooting toy 1 refer to the directions shown in each figure. Since the shooting range unit 40 and the launching device 60 are configured to change their orientations as described above, unless otherwise specified, the state in the fire extinguishing training mode M1 will be described. In addition, in the shooting range unit 40, the open side of the shooting range unit 40 in the plane perpendicular to the vertical direction is referred to as the "front side F", and the opposite side is referred to as the "rear side B". The front side F corresponds to the front side in the fire extinguishing training mode M1, and the rear side B corresponds to the rear side in the fire extinguishing training mode M1. In the following description, the direction perpendicular to the central axis Ax is referred to as the "radial direction", and the rotational direction around the central axis Ax is referred to as the "circumferential direction".

[0010] [2. Configuration of the Base Unit] FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view of the base unit 20. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the base unit 20 is formed in a substantially flat plate shape and rotatably supports the shooting range unit 40 and the launching device 60. The base unit 20 is an example of the base stand according to the present invention. Specifically, the base unit 20 includes a base plate 21, a rotating gear 30, a rotating plate 22, and a first undulation control plate 23.

[0011] The base plate 21 is formed in a substantially flat plate shape and has a recess 211 opening upward at a substantially central portion. The recess 211 is formed in a circular shape centered on the central axis Ax in a plan view. On the front side of the recess 211 in the base plate 21, a slope 212 that slopes downward to the front is formed. As will be described later, the slope 212 constitutes a traveling path along which the vehicle toy C slides out from the parking base 25. At the right end of the slope 212 in the base plate 21, an operation handle 213 that the user (operator) operates when rotating the shooting field unit 40 is arranged. Among the base plate 21, the protrusion formed on the side opposite to the operation handle 213 (left side) with respect to the slope 212 is a holding handle 21a for holding the base unit 20 when the user rotates the operation handle 213. In addition to the power switch 214 for switching ON / OFF of the power supply, the battery housing portion 215 for housing the battery, and the speaker 216 for outputting sound, a control circuit for driving the shooting toy 1 and a control board (not shown) on which electronic components are mounted are arranged on the base plate 21.

[0012] The rotating gear 30 is formed in an annular plate shape and is housed in the recess 211 in a state perpendicular to the vertical direction around the central axis Ax. The rotating gear 30 is supported by a plurality of wheels 31 so as to be rotatable around the central axis Ax. The rotating gear 30 meshes with the operation handle 213 via a connecting gear (not shown) and rotates around the central axis Ax as the operation handle 213 rotates.

[0013] The circumferential position (rotation position) of the rotating gear 30 is detected by two detection switches (contact switches) 35. The two detection switches 35 are arranged below the rotating gear 30 and individually detect two convex portions (not shown) formed on the back surface (lower surface) of the rotating gear 30. The two convex portions have different positions in the radial direction and also different circumferential extension ranges. Thereby, based on the combination of the detection results of the two detection switches 35, the circumferential position of the rotating gear 30 is detected.

[0014] The rotating plate 22 is formed in a disc shape and is positioned to close the upper opening of the recess 211. The rotating plate 22 is supported by a cylindrical central part 221 that is rotatable relative to the base plate 21 and is fixed to the rotating gear 30, and rotates integrally with the rotating gear 30 around the central axis Ax. Multiple retaining plates 223 are arranged on the periphery of the rotating plate 22 to prevent the rotating plate 22 from floating up (falling upward) and are fixed to the base plate 21. The rotating plate 22 is locked in place by a locking member (not shown) held by the base plate 21 at a predetermined circumferential position (rotational position) corresponding to the fire station mode M2 ​​and the fire extinguishing training mode M1. A flat parking platform 25 is positioned on approximately the rear half of the upper surface of the rotating plate 22. The upper surface of the parking platform 25 can accommodate, for example, multiple (three in this embodiment) toy vehicles C side by side. The parking platform 25 has support projections 251 protruding from both the left and right sides of its rear end, and is supported by the rotating plate 22 so as to be rotatable around these support projections 251. A standing lever 252 is provided on the left side of the parking platform 25. When the user operates the standing lever 252 to pull it to the rear (rear side B), the parking platform 25 rotates around the support projections 251 and stands up (tilts) by raising its front side (front side F).

[0015] The first luffing control plate 23 is used to raise and lower the luffing member 43 of the shooting range unit 40, which will be described later, and is an example of the first movable member according to the present invention. The first luffing control plate 23 is formed in a substantially flat shape and is positioned approximately in the center of the recess 211 in a plan view, perpendicular to the vertical direction. Specifically, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, the first luffing control plate 23 has multiple elongated guide holes 231 formed along the front-rear direction. A cylindrical guide portion 225, erected on the lower surface of the rotating plate 22, is inserted from above into each guide hole 231 so as to be movable along the guide hole 231. In addition, an elongated insertion hole 232 is formed approximately in the center of the first luffing control plate 23, through which the central part 221 of the rotating plate 22 is inserted from above. A roller support portion 233 is erected on the lower surface of the first luffing control plate 23, with a cylindrical roller 26 at its tip (see Figure 9, etc.). The roller 26 is fitted so as to be slidable (or rolling) within a guide lane 217 formed in the base plate 21. The guide lane 217 is formed as a circular track in plan view, eccentric from the central axis Ax, with its center P located in front of the central axis Ax.

[0016] With this configuration, the first luffing control plate 23 rotates in the same way as the rotating plate 22, while also translating relative to the rotating plate 22. Specifically, when the rotating plate 22 rotates around its central axis Ax, a rotational force in the same direction acts on the first luffing control plate 23 through the guide portion 225 of the rotating plate 22. At this time, the rotation of the first luffing control plate 23 is constrained to the guide lane 217 of the base plate 21 via the roller 26, and therefore it rotates around the center P of the guide lane 217. As a result, the first luffing control plate 23 rotates along an eccentric trajectory from the rotation center of the rotating plate 22 as the rotating plate 22 rotates, and moves translationally relative to the rotating plate 22. In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 5 and 6, as the system transitions from fire extinguishing training mode M1 to fire station mode M2, the first luffing control plate 23 moves translationally to the rear side B of the shooting range unit 40 by a distance corresponding to the amount of eccentricity.

[0017] Furthermore, two connecting protrusions 234 are erected on the upper surface of the first luffing control plate 23, arranged side by side in the left-right direction. The connecting protrusions 234 protrude above the rotating plate 22 through the through hole 226 of the rotating plate 22 (see Figure 3) and are connected to the connecting member 46 of the shooting range unit 40, which will be described later. At the tip (upper end) of the connecting protrusion 234, a U-shaped opening 235 is formed in a side view (when viewed from the left-right direction) that opens upward. The connecting member 46 (connecting shaft 461) of the shooting range unit 40, which will be described later, is fitted into the opening 235 so as to be movable in the vertical direction (see Figures 9 and 10). The raising and lowering operation of the raising member 43 in conjunction with the movement of the first raising control plate 23 will be described later.

[0018] [3. Configuration of the shooting range unit] Figure 7 is an exploded perspective view of the shooting range unit 40. As shown in Figure 7, the shooting range unit 40 comprises a support case 41, a shooting slope 42, a second elevation control plate 45, and a connecting member 46. The shooting range unit 40 is an example of a rotating stage according to the present invention and is rotatably arranged on the base unit 20.

[0019] The support case 41 supports the shooting slope 42 and also houses the second elevation control plate 45 and the connecting member 46. The lower part of the support case 41 is shaped to correspond to the rotating plate 22 of the base unit 20 and is fixed to the upper surface of the rotating plate 22. However, the rear part of the support case 41 defines the garage space 25S on the parking platform 25 of the base unit 20, with the rear (rear side B) open (see Figure 2).

[0020] The shooting range ramp 42 is positioned above the support case 41 and fixed to the support case 41. The shooting range ramp 42 is formed in the shape of a slope that slopes downwards towards the front and has a floor surface 42a that is inclined in the vertical direction. The lower front end of the shooting range ramp 42 is open to the front, and the surrounding area, excluding the lower end, is covered by a wall. On the floor surface 42a of the shooting gallery slope 42, there are multiple undulating members 43 of different sizes and shapes, which serve as targets for the shooting game.

[0021] Figure 8 is a diagram illustrating the support structure of the undulating member 43. Each undulating member 43 is formed in a roughly flat shape resembling fire and is supported by the shooting slope 42 so that it can be raised and lowered. Specifically, as shown in Figure 8, each undulating member 43 has two support shafts 431, a front leg portion 432, and a rear leg portion 433. Two support shafts 431 are arranged coaxially with each other on the left and right sides of the lower end of the undulating member 43. Each support shaft 431 is formed in a cylindrical shape along the left-right direction and is rotatably supported by a bearing portion 421 of the shooting slope 42. A recess 42b corresponding to the shape of the undulating member 43 is formed in the floor surface 42a of the shooting slope 42, and bearing portions 421 are formed on both the left and right sides of the lower end of the recess 42b. The bearing portion 421 is open at the top to allow insertion of the support shafts 431 and has a retaining mechanism to prevent the support shafts 431 from falling out. A protruding first locking portion 421a for locking the undulating member 43 is formed on the bottom surface of either of the bearing portions 421. Of the two support shafts 431, one corresponding to the bearing portion 421 having a first locking portion 421a has a second locking portion 431a formed thereon that locks with the first locking portion 421a of the bearing portion 421. As will be described later, the first locking portion 421a and the second locking portion 431a lock with each other, primarily when transitioning from fire extinguishing training mode M1 to fire station mode M2, to maintain the upright position of the undulating member 43. The undulating member 43 rotates around the support shaft 431 to undulate and is configured to be able to assume an upright state in which it stands upright with a forward-leaning posture relative to the vertical direction, and a collapsed state in which it lies down on the floor surface 42a (inside the recess 42b) with its tip positioned on the higher side of the floor surface 42a.

[0022] The front legs 432 are formed in a substantially flat shape and protrude substantially vertically forward from the left-right center of the lower end of the luffing member 43. The front legs 432 contact the shooting slope 42 when the luffing member 43 is in the upright position and hold the luffing member 43 in the upright position. In the upright position, the front legs 432 are positioned within the front recess 42c formed in the floor surface 42a of the shooting slope 42, and for example, the upper surface is substantially flush with the floor surface 42a.

[0023] The rear leg portion 433 is formed in a substantially flat shape and protrudes substantially vertically to the rear from the left-right center of the lower end of the luffing member 43. The rear leg portion 433 is an example of the third locking portion according to the present invention, and as will be described later, it is pressed when the member is raised and, in fire extinguishing training mode M1, locks onto the second luffing control plate 45 (locking rib 453 described later) to maintain the raised state of the luffing member 43.

[0024] As shown in Figure 7, the second luffing control plate 45 is used to raise and lower the luffing member 43, and is an example of the second movable member according to the present invention. The second luffing control plate 45 is formed in a flat plate shape and is held on the lower side of the shooting slope 42 in a state parallel to the shooting slope 42 (i.e., inclined downwards towards the front). The second luffing control plate 45 has a plurality of elongated support holes 451 formed in the front-to-back direction. A cylindrical support shaft 422 erected on the lower surface of the shooting slope 42 is inserted from above into each support hole 451 so as to be movable along the support hole 451 (see Figure 11, etc.). Multiple pressing recesses 452 corresponding to multiple luffing members 43 are formed on the upper surface of the second luffing control plate 45. The pressing recesses 452 are used to press the rear legs 433 of the luffing members 43 to raise them upright. Specifically, the pressing recesses 452 are formed at positions corresponding to the rear legs 433 of the corresponding luffing members 43, and at positions corresponding to the front left and right center of the recesses 42b of the shooting slope 42, and are in communication with the inside of the recesses 42b through through holes 42d formed in the bottom surface of the recesses 42b (see Figure 8). When the luffing members 43 collapse while the second luffing control plate 45 is positioned on the front side F, the rear legs 433 of the luffing members 43 are accommodated in the pressing recesses 452 (see Figure 11). Within the pressing recess 452, a substantially flat locking rib 453 is erected in the rear left-right center, perpendicular to the left-right direction. The locking rib 453 is used to lock the rear leg portion 433 of the undulating member 43, and as will be described later, the locking rib 453 and the rear leg portion 433 lock together to maintain the upright position of the undulating member 43 in fire extinguishing training mode M1 (see Figure 13).

[0025] The connecting member 46 connects the second luffing control plate 45 to the first luffing control plate 23 of the base unit 20, and interlocks their operation. The connecting member 46 is positioned in the left-right center of the lower end of the second luffing control plate 45 and is fixed to the second luffing control plate 45. The connecting member 46 has a connecting shaft 461 at its lower end that is aligned in the left-right direction (see Figure 10, etc.). The connecting shaft 461 is connected to two connecting protrusions 234 of the first luffing control plate 23 of the base unit 20. Specifically, the connecting shaft 461 is fitted into the openings 235 of the two connecting protrusions 234 so as to be movable in the vertical direction.

[0026] [4. Launcher Configuration] As shown in Figures 1 and 3, the launching device 60 is positioned at the lower end of the front side F of the shooting range unit 40 and launches the toy vehicles C onto the shooting slope 42. Specifically, the launch device 60 is detachably attached to the rotating plate 22 of the base unit 20 and is supported so as to be able to rotate (swivel) left and right within a predetermined range. The launch device 60 comprises a pair of left and right track plates 63 and an ejection section 65. The pair of track boards 63 are launching lanes on which the vehicle toy C, which is the projectile, is placed, and correspond to the left and right wheels of the vehicle toy C. The pair of track boards 63 are inclined so as they move towards the rear, and are roughly aligned with the shooting slope 42. The injection unit 65 is positioned on a pair of track plates 63 and ejects the toy vehicle C placed on the pair of track plates 63 along the track plates 63. The rear end face B of the injection unit 65 supports the rear end face of the toy vehicle C placed on the pair of track plates 63. The injection unit 65 is biased in the ejection direction along the track plates 63 by a biasing member (not shown). The user ejects the toy vehicle C by pulling the operating lever 652 formed at the front end of the injection unit 65 toward them against the biasing force of the biasing member and then releasing it.

[0027] [5. The raising and lowering motion of the raised member] The raising and lowering operation of the luffing member 43 in conjunction with the rotation of the shooting range unit 40 will be explained. Figures 9 and 10 are diagrams illustrating the interlocking of the first luffing control plate 23 and the second luffing control plate 45, and Figures 11 to 13 are diagrams illustrating the interlocking of the second luffing control plate 45 and the luffing member 43.

[0028] As described above, when the rotating plate 22 of the base unit 20 rotates around the central axis Ax, the first luffing control plate 23 rotates similarly, and because its center of rotation is eccentric from the central axis Ax, it moves translationally along the front-to-back direction of the shooting range unit 40 (see Figures 5 and 6). When transitioning from fire extinguishing training mode M1 to fire station mode M2, the first luffing control plate 23 moves to the back side B. At this time, as shown in Figures 9 and 10, the first luffing control plate 23 is connected to the second luffing control plate 45 via a connecting member 46, and the connecting shaft 461 of the connecting member 46 is fitted into the connecting projection 234 of the first luffing control plate 23 so as to be movable up and down. Therefore, as the first luffing control plate 23 moves to the rear side B, the connecting member 46 moves diagonally upward along the slope of the shooting slope 42, causing the second luffing control plate 45 to move to the rear side B.

[0029] Here, as shown in Figure 11, if the luffing member 43 is lying down in fire extinguishing training mode M1, when transitioning to fire station mode M2, the second luffing control plate 45 moves to the rear side B. As a result, as shown in Figure 12, the wall surface of the pressing recess 452 of the second luffing control plate 45 pushes the rear leg portion 433 of the luffing member 43 to the rear side B. Then, the luffing member 43 rotates around the support shaft 431 at its lower end and stands upright. In this upright state, the luffing member 43 stands on the floor surface 42a with a forward-leaning posture relative to the vertical direction, that is, with its tip tilted away from the floor surface 42a more than vertically upward.

[0030] During the transition to the upright position, as the support shaft 431 rotates within the bearing portion 421 of the shooting slope 42, the second locking portion 431a of the support shaft 431 overcomes the first locking portion 421a of the bearing portion 421 and locks into the first locking portion 421a. As a result, the upright position of the upright member 43 is maintained without the support of the second upright control plate 45, and collapse toward the rear side B is suppressed.

[0031] In this state, when the system switches back to fire extinguishing training mode M1 and the second luffing control plate 45 moves to the front side F, as shown in Figure 13, the locking rib 453 of the second luffing control plate 45 will be positioned below the tip of the rear leg portion 433 of the luffing member 43. As a result, the rear leg portion 433 of the luffing member 43 is locked to the locking rib 453 of the second luffing control plate 45, and the locking rib 453 and the rear leg portion 433 maintain the upright position of the luffing member 43 in fire extinguishing training mode M1, suppressing it from collapsing towards the rear side B.

[0032] [6. How to play with shooting games] This section explains one example of how to play with shooting toy 1. In this example, it is assumed that the shooting toy 1 is in fire station mode M2, the vehicle toy C is placed on the parking platform 25, and all the elevation members 43 are in the upright position.

[0033] In the shooting toy 1 in fire station mode M2, when the user (operator) turns on the power switch 214, a voice prompting a transition to fire extinguishing training mode M1 is output from the speaker 216, such as "An emergency has occurred, please proceed to the training area." The user operates the lever 252 for raising the parking platform 25 to raise (tilt) the parking platform 25 and launch the toy vehicle C. The toy vehicle C on the parking platform 25 travels along the slope 212 between the parking platform 25 and the base plate 21 and slides out forward.

[0034] Next, when the user rotates the operating handle 213 of the base plate 21 in a predetermined direction, the rotary gear 30 that meshes with the operating handle 213 rotates around the central axis Ax. As a result, the rotating plate 22 fixed to the rotary gear 30 also rotates, and the shooting range unit 40 and launcher 60 on the rotating plate 22 rotate, transitioning to fire extinguishing training mode M1. During the transition, special music is output from the speaker 216. The completion of the transition to fire extinguishing training mode M1 is detected by detecting the circumferential position of the rotary gear 30 using the detect switch 35. At this time, as the system transitions to fire extinguishing training mode M1, the second luffing control plate 45 moves to the front side F, and as described above, the rear leg portion 433 of the luffing member 43 is locked to the locking rib 453 of the second luffing control plate 45 (Figure 13).

[0035] When the completion of the transition to fire extinguishing training mode M1 is detected, the transition music stops and an announcement voice indicating the start of fire extinguishing training is output from speaker 216. In fire extinguishing training mode M1, the user places the toy vehicle C on the track plate 63 of the launcher 60 and rotates the launcher 60 to aim at the flame-like undulating member 43. Then, by pulling the operating lever 652 towards the user and releasing it, the toy vehicle C is launched towards the flame-like member 43. If the vehicle toy C strikes the luffing member 43 and the force at that time is stronger than the locking force that holds the luffing member 43 in an upright position, the luffing member 43 will collapse. The locking force that holds the luffing member 43 in an upright position includes the locking force between the rear leg portion 433 of the luffing member 43 and the locking rib 453 of the second luffing control plate 45, as well as the locking force between the first locking portion 421a of the shooting slope 42 and the second locking portion 431a of the luffing member 43.

[0036] When the user finishes the fire extinguishing training, a voice prompting the user to return to fire station mode M2, such as "Thank you for your hard work, please return to the fire station," is output from speaker 216. When the user then rotates the operating handle 213, the shooting range unit 40 and the launcher 60 on the rotating plate 22 rotate, just as when transitioning to fire extinguishing training mode M1, and the system transitions to fire station mode M2. At this time, as the system transitions to fire station mode M2, the second luffing control plate 45 moves to the rear side B, and as described above, all luffing members 43 stand upright. In this transition to the upright state, the second locking portion 431a of the luffing member 43 goes over the first locking portion 421a of the shooting slope 42 and locks into the first locking portion 421a, and the luffing member 43 is maintained in the upright state (Figure 12).

[0037] When the transition to fire station mode M2 ​​is detected, a voice message such as "Please park the vehicle in the garage" is output from speaker 216. The user places the vehicle toy C on the parking platform 25 and ends the shooting game with the shooting toy 1.

[0038] [7. Technical Effects of this Embodiment] As described above, according to this embodiment, the undulating member 43 is configured to be able to move up and down in accordance with the rotation of the shooting range unit (rotating stage) 40 on the base unit (base stand) 20. As a result, simply rotating the shooting range unit 40 automatically raises the elevation member 43, allowing users to enjoy the shooting game without having to manually raise the targets. In other words, it eliminates the user's need to manually raise the elevation member 43. Furthermore, because the elevation member 43 automatically rises and falls in conjunction with the rotation of the shooting range unit 40, users can easily understand how to play.

[0039] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the first luffing control plate (first movable member) 23 rotates along an eccentric trajectory from the central axis Ax of its rotation center in conjunction with the rotation of the shooting range unit 40, and translates relative to the shooting range unit 40, and the second luffing control plate (second movable member) 45 moves in conjunction with the first luffing control plate 23 to raise and lower the luffing member 43. This allows for the conversion of rotational motion into translational motion with a relatively simple configuration, thereby achieving the undulation of the undulating member 43.

[0040] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the upright tilting member 43 stands upright on a floor surface 42a that is inclined with respect to the vertical direction, with its tip inclined toward a direction away from the floor surface 42a rather than vertically upward. As a result, the undulating member 43 stands upright in a forward-leaning posture with its own weight applied to the opposite side of the direction of collapse, making it less likely to fall in the direction of collapse. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the undulating member 43 from falling due to unintended impacts or malfunctions, for example.

[0041] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the shooting range unit 40 has a first locking portion 421a that locks the undulating member 43 and maintains the upright position of the undulating member 43. This allows the shooting range unit 40 alone to maintain the upright position of the luffing member 43. Therefore, the second luffing control plate 45, which raises the luffing member 43, can be moved while the luffing member 43 remains in an upright position. Furthermore, the undulating member 43 has a second locking portion 431a that locks onto the first locking portion 421a of the shooting range unit 40 to maintain the upright position of the undulating member 43. This allows the shooting range unit 40 alone to more firmly maintain the upright position of the undulating member 43.

[0042] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the luffing member 43 has a rear leg portion 433 (third locking portion) that is locked to the second luffing control plate 45 to maintain the upright state of the luffing member 43. This allows the second luffing control plate 45 to raise the luffing member 43 and simultaneously maintain the luffing member 43 in the raised position with a desired locking force.

[0043] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the luffing member 43 is provided on the side opposite to the direction in which the luffing member 43 is tilted, and has a front leg portion 432 that maintains the upright state of the luffing member 43. Therefore, when the tilting member 43 falls backward, the front leg portion 432 stands upright. In other words, after the tilting member 43 falls, its front leg portion 432 becomes an obstruction in the shooting range. Consequently, as more tilting members 43 fall, the amount of obstruction increases, which can effectively increase the difficulty of the shooting game.

[0044] [8. Other] Although embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above. For example, in the above embodiment, a shooting toy using a rippled member as a target was described as an example of a rotating toy according to the present invention. However, the present invention only requires that the rippled member be raised and lowered in conjunction with the rotation of the rotating stage, and the manner in which the rippled member is used is not particularly limited.

[0045] Furthermore, details shown in the above embodiments can be modified as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the invention. [Explanation of symbols]
