[0024] Hereinafter, a performance output toy according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0025] The performance output toy 1 shown in FIG. 1 is an example of the makeup toy of the present invention, and is a toy modeled after the shape of a makeup compact carried by a heroine who is a fighting female warrior and the main character of a television program or the like. In the program, this heroine is set to emit sounds and lights from the makeup compact and transform using the makeup compact, rings, makeup brushes, etc. by attaching various attachments to the makeup compact. Here, "transformation" refers to changes in the heroine's makeup, hairstyle, clothes, shoes, accessories, etc. This makeup toy is a toy that allows the user to become the heroine in question, that is, to play the so-called "role-playing game."

[0026] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the entirety of a performance output toy 1. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 1, the performance output toy 1 (hereinafter simply referred to as "toy") is roughly divided into a main toy body 10 formed to resemble a portable cosmetic container (so-called compact), a secondary toy body 20 (hereinafter simply referred to as "ring member") that is detachably attached to the main toy body 10 and resembles a ring that can be worn on a finger, and a second secondary toy body (brush member 30 (see FIG. 13) described later) that resembles a cosmetic brush. The main toy body 10 is equipped with a cylindrical main body 11 as a first main toy body having a secondary toy body attachment part 15 (hereinafter simply referred to as "attachment part") on the front of which the ring member 20 is attached, and a bowl-shaped spherical lid part 12 as a second main toy body that can be opened and closed relative to the main body 11. The main body 11 is provided with a sound output part 70 and a light output part 80 (see FIG. 2) as performance output parts, and a predetermined performance can be performed using light and sound based on the operation described later.

[0027] Here, a plurality of ring members 20 (only one example is shown) with different colors, shapes, patterns, etc. are prepared, and each has different identification information to be described later. Therefore, by attaching the ring member 20 to the attachment part 15, a desired effect according to the ring member 20 can be produced.

[0028] FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the performance output toy shown in FIG. 1 with the cover part open. When using the toy 1, the lid 12 is opened and used with the lid 12 open, as described below. As shown in FIG. 2, a relatively large main trigger button 11a and a sub-button 11b for performing a performance operation are provided on the upper surface of the main body 11 in the center of the upper surface. A power switch 11s (see FIG. 16) is provided on the back side of the main body 11, for example. A circular mirror 12m is provided on the inside of the lid 12. The trigger button 11a is configured to be slightly raised from the upper end surface of the main body 11, and is made of a transparent or translucent light-transmitting material. For example, a light output unit 80 made of a light-emitting member such as an LED is disposed on the inside of the trigger button 11a. Therefore, the light output unit 80 emits light, causing the trigger button 11a or its surroundings to light up. The sound output unit 70 is also disposed in an appropriate position.

[0029] Lid 12 is configured to be freely opened and closed with respect to body 11 via hinge 18. At least a portion of lid 12 is configured from a light-transmitting material. The closed state of lid 12 is maintained by locking portion 12t provided at the tip opposite hinge 18. The opening operation of lid 12 changes from the closed state to the open state by the rotational intersection of ring member 20 attached to attachment portion 15, which will be described later, as shown in FIG. 2.

[0030] FIG. 3 is an enlarged side view showing the locking structure when the lid is in the closed state. As shown in Fig. 3, the locking portion 12t protrudes circumferentially outward (to the left in the figure) beyond the outer peripheral edge 12g of the lid portion 12 and also protrudes toward the main body portion 11. In other words, the locking portion 12t protrudes to face the flat surface 15e of the mounting portion 15. The locking portion 12t has an engagement recess 12c that opens toward the flat surface 15e. Meanwhile, a lid locking projection 11t that protrudes toward the radially outward direction of the main body portion 11 is provided at the upper end of the flat surface 15e. Therefore, when the lid portion 12 is in the closed state, the lid locking projection 11t and the engagement recess 12c are engaged with each other, and the closed state of the lid portion 12 is maintained. There are.

[0031] FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the ring member 20 as viewed from the side. As shown in Fig. 4, the ring member 20 has a substantially disk-shaped base portion 21 at the center, an insertion protrusion 22 is provided at one end side (right side in the figure) in the thickness direction of the base portion 21, and a rotation operation portion 23 is provided on the opposite side of the base portion 21 from the insertion protrusion 22. The insertion protrusion 22 is a part that is inserted into the attachment hole 15c (see Fig. 1) of the attachment portion 15, and is fixedly provided on the base portion 21. The rotation operation portion 23 is provided rotatably with respect to the base portion 21 around a rotation axis CL.

[0032] The insertion protrusion 22 has a first protrusion 22a and a second protrusion 22b extending along the direction of the rotation axis CL. The first protrusion 22a and the second protrusion 22b are configured in a curved shape that can be fitted on a finger. The first protrusion 22a and the second protrusion 22b are slightly different in shape. For example, the width (D2) of the second protrusion 22b is configured to be smaller than the width (D1) of the first protrusion 22a.

[0033] The rotary operation unit 23 is formed in a substantially disk-like shape, and the surface side thereof is provided with a pattern or color scheme corresponding to, for example, the heroine's character. For example, the outer peripheral edge portion of the rotary operation unit 23 is appropriately provided with a concave-convex shape as part of the decoration. One of the concave-convex shapes is provided with a maximum protrusion 23b having a maximum diameter (D3) from the rotation axis CL. In addition, the rotary operation unit 23 is provided with a plurality of protruding portions 23c (see FIG. 5) that protrude in the direction of the rotation diameter in addition to the maximum protrusion 23b. The distance (D4) of the tip portion of the protruding portion 23c from the rotation axis CL is configured to be slightly smaller than that of the maximum protrusion 23b.

[0034] The protruding portion 23c is offset from the maximum projection 23b in the direction of the rotation axis CL by a predetermined distance (h). That is, the protruding position of the protruding portion 23c is offset from the maximum projection 23b in a direction away from the mounting portion 15. This makes it easy to hook the fingertip. Also, the protruding portion 23c is configured not to come into contact with the locking portion 12t against which the tip end 23e of the maximum projection 23b abuts.

[0035] Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the ring member 20 as viewed from the back side. Fig. 6 is a perspective view of the ring member 20 as viewed from the back side with the insertion protrusion 22 removed. As shown in Fig. 5 and Fig. 6, a plurality of substantially cylindrical identification protrusions 21p are arranged on both sides of the insertion protrusion 22 on the back side of the base portion 21 of the finger ring member 20. In addition, a protruding wall portion 21w is provided at a position close to the identification protrusions 21p so as to be curved slightly outward while being aligned substantially along the direction in which the identification protrusions 21p are arranged. The protruding wall portion 21w is provided with a locking recess 21i recessed inward on its outer surface. In the protruding wall portion 21w, for example, the one on the right side in the figure is also configured as an identification protrusion 21p on both ends. In addition, other protruding walls 21r are provided between the protruding walls 21w at positions sandwiching the insertion protrusion 22.

[0036] In addition, it is preferable that the protruding height (H1) of the identification protrusion 21p is equal to or lower than the surrounding protruding parts. For example, in this embodiment, as shown in the figure, it is configured to be the same as the surrounding protruding wall part 21w. In addition, one of the other protruding wall parts 21r (the left side in FIG. 7) has a height (H2) higher than the height (H1) of the identification protrusion 21p.

[0037] FIG. 7 is an enlarged perspective view showing the mounting portion 15 of the main body portion 11. As shown in FIG. As shown in Fig. 7, the mounting part 15 has a generally circular recess 15a formed in a protruding part that protrudes slightly radially outward from the outer circumferential surface of the main body 11, and a mounting hole 15c is provided in the circular recess 15a. The protruding upper end surface of the mounting part 15 is configured as a generally flat surface 15e. This flat surface 15e is configured to have a sufficient size relative to the size of the ring member 20 (the radial size of the ring member) when the ring member 20 is mounted. In short, it is configured so that there is no hindrance when rotating the ring member 20. A plurality of retractable pin type detectors 14p are provided on both sides of the mounting hole 15c on the bottom surface of the circular recess 15a to detect the identification protrusion 21p when the ring member 20 is mounted. The detectors 14p are switched, for example, by being pressed by the identification protrusion 21p. The detection signal of the detectors 14p is transmitted to the control unit 60. A guide wall 15g is provided around the detectors 14p to guide the identification protrusion 21p to the detectors 14p.

[0038] Here, the number of detection parts 14p is 5 in this embodiment. On the other hand, the number of identification protrusions 21p of the ring member 20 is, for example, 8 as shown in Fig. 5. This means that the ring member 20 has the identification protrusions 21p that can be used for other than the main body part 11.

[0039] In addition, on the inner peripheral wall surface of the circular recess 15a, protruding inner peripheral walls 15w that contact the protruding wall portion 21w of the ring member 20 and guide the protruding wall portion are provided at four locations, two on each side in the figure. The protruding inner peripheral walls 15w are provided corresponding to the protruding wall portion 21w of the ring member 20. In addition, a locking hook 15f that is biased toward the center of the circular recess 15a by a spring member (not shown) is provided at a position adjacent to the protruding inner peripheral wall 15w. The locking hook 15f engages with the locking recess 21i provided in the protruding wall portion 21w of the ring member 20. In short, when the ring member 20 is worn, the protruding inner peripheral wall 15w engages with the protruding wall portion 21w and the locking hook 15f engages with the locking recess 21i. This engagement and fitting function as an oblique wearing prevention mechanism that prevents the ring member 20 from being worn obliquely.

[0040] The shape of the mounting hole 15c is a keyhole shape with one end formed in a circle and the other end formed in a rectangle. The insertion protrusion 22 of the ring member 20 is regulated in its vertical position during insertion by, for example, inserting the wide first protrusion 22a into the circular side. A pair of protruding walls 21r provided at positions sandwiching the insertion protrusion 22 are configured to enter the mounting hole 15c, and the width of the pair of protruding walls 21r may be configured to match the shape and width of the mounting hole 15c to avoid incorrect insertion.

[0041] FIG. 8 is an exploded perspective view of the finger ring member 20. 8, the back side of the rotation operation unit 23 is configured as, for example, a cylindrical recess with a bottom, and a rotation shaft portion 23f is provided along the rotation axis CL. The rotation shaft portion 23f is inserted into a support hole 21h of the base portion 21 and attached so as not to come off from the support hole 21h (a retaining structure is not shown), thereby being rotatably supported by the base portion 21. An arc-shaped protruding wall 23we on the back side of the rotation operation unit 23 engages with a circular step portion 21e of the base portion 21, making the rotational movement of the rotation operation unit 23 smooth.

[0042] The rotation operation unit 23 is provided with a stopper mechanism 55 that restricts the rotation position. The stopper mechanism 55 is composed of stopper pins 55b, 55d and position restriction walls 55a, 55c. The stopper pins 55b, 55d are provided in parallel with the rotation shaft 23f in the rotation operation unit 23. Meanwhile, the position restriction walls 55a, 55c are provided on the base surface 21m of the base unit 21. When the rotation operation unit 23 is rotated, the stopper mechanism 55 stops the rotation operation unit 23 at a rotation angle of approximately 90 degrees from the initial position before the rotation operation to the rotation operation end position (lid opening position). For example, when the rotation operation unit 23 is moved from the initial position to the lid opening position, the stopper pin 55d hits the position restriction wall 55c to stop the rotation. When the rotation operation unit 23 is returned to the initial position, the stopper pin 55b hits the position restriction wall 55a to stop the rotation.

[0043] Fig. 9 is an enlarged front perspective view showing the initial state of the ring member 20 when worn. Fig. 10 is an enlarged side view showing the initial state of the ring member 20 when worn. As shown in FIG. 9, the ring member 20 is attached to the attachment portion 15. In this initial attachment state, the rotation operation portion 23 is attached with the maximum protrusion 23b in a horizontal position (in a state facing left in FIG. 9). In this initial attachment state, one of the projections 23c is positioned to overlap the locking portion 12t in the front-rear direction. However, as shown in FIG. 10, when viewed from the side, the upper projection 23c is positioned outside the locking portion 12t and does not come into contact with the locking portion 12t. In addition, the ring member 20 is attached with the rotation operation portion 23 separated from the flat surface 15e of the attachment portion 15, and is attached in a state that makes it easy to perform rotation operation.

[0044] Moreover, the lower protruding portion 23c is located inside (upper side in FIG. 9) lower end edge 15d of flat surface 15e, and does not protrude below main body 11 or come into contact with the placement surface. In this manner, flat surface 15e of mounting portion 15 is formed as a flat area that extends outward from the position of the outer circumferential edge of ring member 20, and is configured to make it easy to operate rotation operating portion 23.

[0045] FIG. 11 is an enlarged front view showing a state in which the rotation operation of the ring member 20 is completed. 11, from the initial wearing state of the ring member 20, the rotation operation part 23 is rotated 90 degrees in the clockwise direction. This rotation causes the maximum protrusion 23b of the ring member 20 to come into contact with the locking part 12t of the lid part 12 and pushes up the lid part 12 in the direction of opening the lid part 12. In this rotation completion state, the protruding part 23c located on the lower side is also located inside the lower end edge 15d of the flat surface 15e.

[0046] The operation when the cover 12 is opened by the rotary operation part 23 will now be described. FIG. 12 is an enlarged side view showing the operation when the cover portion 12 is opened. As shown in FIG. 12, in the closed state of the lid 12, the engagement recess 12c of the locking portion 12t is engaged with the lid locking projection 11t (see FIG. 3), but in the final stage of the rotation of the ring member 20, the projection side surface 23bs (see FIG. 11) of the maximum projection 23b starts to abut against the locking portion lower end surface 12ts of the locking portion 12t. The abutment of the projection side surface 23bs against the locking portion lower end surface 12ts becomes stronger as the rotation proceeds, forcing the locking portion 12t up. As a result, the locking state of the lid locking projection 11t is released, as if being guided by the recess inclined surface 12s of the engagement recess 12c and the inclined surface 11ts of the lid locking projection 11t. As a result, the lid 12 is pushed up by the maximum projection 23b and the locking state is released.

[0047] FIG. 13 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the main part, showing the structure of the hinge portion 18. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 13, the cover 12 can be released from its locked state and opened around the hinge 18. The hinge 18 is supported rotatably with the pivot 18a penetrating the pivot 18b. The pivot 18a has two flats 18d spaced apart from each other on its outer circumferential surface. The flats 18d are further provided with an outer recess 18c. The main body 11 has a pressing portion 11i having a flat portion and a locking protrusion 11g corresponding to the flats 18d and the outer recess 18c. The pressing portion 11i is pressed toward the pivot 18b by a pressing spring 11sp. The locking protrusion 11g fits into the outer recess 18c, providing a provisional locking mechanism that allows the cover 12 to be provisionally locked. The pressing portion 11i faces a flat portion formed on the outer surface of the pivot 18a, providing a clicking sensation during rotation.

[0048] The locking of the lid 12 by the locking protrusion 11g is performed when the lid 12 is in a closed state and an open state (as shown in the figure). For example, when the lid 12 is opened from the closed state, the rotation of the pivot shaft 18a rotates the initial flat portion 18d so as to be displaced from the pressing portion 11i. This causes a so-called click action in which the second flat portion 18e next to the flat portion 18d is stopped at a position supported by the pressing portion 11i. This click action is performed when the locking state of the lid 12 by the ring member 20 described above is released. Finally, when the lid 12 is in a completely open state (as shown in the figure), the outer surface recess 18c fits into and is locked by the locking protrusion 11g.

[0049] FIG. 14 is an enlarged side view of the main parts when the cover portion 12 is closed. When the normal operation is to be ended, the ring member 20 is removed from the main body 11 and the lid 12 is closed. However, it is also possible to close the lid 12 while the ring member 20 is still attached to the main body 11. This case will be described below.

[0050] When the lid 12 is closed with the ring member 20 attached to the mounting portion 15, as shown in FIG. 14, the locking portion 12t of the lid 12 comes into contact with the maximum projection 23b of the ring member 20. At this time, the locking portion 12t comes into contact obliquely with the edge portion 23ek on the main body 11 side of the tip portion 23e of the maximum projection 23b. The edge portion 23ek is formed into an R surface of an appropriate size. As a result, when the locking portion 12t comes into contact with the edge portion 23ek, the locking portion lower end surface 12ts pushes the edge portion 23ek downward and obliquely downward toward the direction away from the mounting portion 15 (to the left in the figure). In short, the force applied to the edge portion 23ek is pushed toward the diagonally left lower side (F1) as shown in the figure due to the oblique contact between the locking portion lower end surface 12ts and the edge portion 23ek. In other words, the horizontal component of the force (F1) pushing diagonally downward acts as a force in a direction to remove the ring member 20 from the attachment part 15. As a result, the ring member 20 is released, and immediately after being released, the locking part 12t is locked by its inner engaging recess 12c being caught by the lid locking projection 11t (see FIG. 3).

[0051] Here, in order to generate a force to remove the ring member 20 by the above-mentioned abutment, as in this embodiment, it is sufficient to abut against the edge portion 23ek at a predetermined inclination, but by appropriately setting this inclination angle and the size and angle of the R surface, the manner in which the ring member 20 comes off can be adjusted.

[0052] FIG. 15 is a perspective view showing the brush member 30. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 15, the brush member 30 has a shape imitating a cosmetic brush, and in appearance, has a brush part 31 at the tip side and a grip part 32. The brush member 30 can be stored by being fitted between a pair of brush attachment parts 12gt installed inside the cover part 12. When playing the role-playing game, the brush part 31 can be used to perform an operation such as pressing the trigger button 11a of the main body part 11, and other operations linked to the operation of the main body part 11. The brush member 30 may itself be equipped with a power source, a control part, an operation output part, a communication part, a switch, and the like. For example, the brush member 30 may wirelessly communicate with the communication part provided in the main toy body 10 by infrared or the like, and output an operation (such as sound or light emission) according to the type of the sub-toy body attached to the main toy body 10 from the brush member 30. Also, the brush part 31 may be switched on to output an operation from the brush part 31. If the brush part 31 is configured as a light-producing part, it can be used as a shining operating member to expand the range of ways of playing.

[0053] FIG. 16 is a block diagram showing a control system of the toy 1. As shown in FIG. 16, a control unit 60 is provided inside the main body 11. The control unit 60 and a battery (not shown) are connected via a power switch 11s (for example, provided on the back side of the main body). As a result, when the power switch 11s is turned on, a current flows through the control unit 60 and control is started. The control unit 60 is connected to the detection unit 14p, the main trigger button 11a, the sub-button 11b, the communication unit 11c, and the like. In addition, the control unit 60 is connected to a storage unit 61, in which a performance corresponding to each identification information of the ring member 20 is set in advance. The identification information of the ring member 20 detected by the detection unit 14p is sent to the control unit 60. Based on this identification information, the control unit 60 performs a predetermined performance by the light output unit 80 and the sound output unit 70, which are performance output units, via the drive unit 62. For example, when the trigger button 11a is pressed, a predetermined effect based on the identification information is performed, but when the sub-button 11b is operated, a different effect is produced by, for example, selecting a mode. Also, when the ring member 20 is removed, the control unit 60 stops the effect produced by the effect output unit.

[0054] An example of how to play with the toy 1 will now be described. When playing with the toy 1, first, the power switch 11s is turned on. This produces a start-up sound. Then, the ring member 20 is attached to the attachment portion 15 of the main body portion 11. This attachment causes the inside of the main body portion 11 to emit light along with the attachment sound. Then, the rotation operation portion 23 of the ring member 20 is rotated to open the lid portion 12. In addition to the opening operation of the lid portion 12, a twisting sound of the rotation operation is also output, and the lines of the unique character of the ring member 20 start. Then, a standby sound starts, and the next operation is waited for. Then, for example, by using the brush member 30 for makeup, various versions of makeup are performed, and further, a dress-up performance, a name announcement performance, and the like are performed, and the transformation performance in which the transformation changes can be enjoyed can be performed. The above transformation performance will be different depending on the difference between each ring member 20.

[0055] As described above, according to the toy 1 of this embodiment, the lid portion 12 can be opened by putting on and rotating the ring member 20, so that it is possible to add the movement of the lid portion 12 to the performance output.

[0056] Furthermore, according to the toy 1 of this embodiment, the ring member 20 is firmly held in the attachment portion 15 by the insertion protrusion portion 22, and the rotation operation portion 23 is held and rotated by the base portion 21, so that it can rotate accurately and the lid portion 12 can be reliably brought into the open state.

[0057] Furthermore, in the toy 1 of this embodiment, when the rotational position of the rotation operating part 23 is changed, the tip 23e of the maximum protrusion 23b pushes up the engaging part 12t of the lid part 12 to the open state, so that no complex structure is required for disengaging the engaging part 12t, and the structure can be simplified.

[0058] In the toy 1 of this embodiment, the structure allows the locking portion 12t of the lid portion 12 to abut against the edge portion 23ek of the ring member 20 at an angle when the lid portion 12 is rotated from the open state to the closed state, so that the locking portion 12t can push the ring member 20 in a direction to remove it from the worn state. As a result, the lid portion 12 can be closed while the ring member 20 is still worn. In addition, the oblique abutment against the edge portion 23ek can prevent the ring member 20 from being damaged.

[0059] Furthermore, in the toy 1 of this embodiment, the insertion protrusion portion 22 of the ring member 20 has portions with different shapes, and the attachment portion 15 has an attachment hole 15c with a shape corresponding to the insertion protrusion portion 22, so that the attachment orientation of the ring member 20 can be accurately determined.

[0060] In the toy 1 of this embodiment, a mechanism for preventing the ring member 20 from being worn at an angle is provided between the base portion 21 of the ring member 20 and the wearing portion 15, so that the identification protrusion 21p can be detected accurately. Also, the rotation trajectory of the rotation operation of the ring member 20 is stable, so that the operation of releasing the closed state of the lid portion 12 can be performed accurately.

[0061] In the toy 1 of the present embodiment, the stopper mechanism 55 that restricts the rotational position of the rotation operation part 23 of the ring member 20 is provided, so that excessive rotation of the rotation operation part 23 is restricted, making it possible to stabilize the rotation operation.

[0062] Furthermore, in the toy 1 of this embodiment, the rotation operation unit 23 is provided with a protruding portion 23c that protrudes in the direction of the rotation diameter in addition to the maximum protrusion 23b, so that when rotating the rotation operation unit 23, a place is provided for the fingertips to hook, making it easier to perform the rotation operation.

[0063] In addition, in the toy 1 of this embodiment, the protruding portion 23c does not come into contact with the locking portion 12t of the lid portion 12, which improves the ease of turning the rotation operation portion 23 and allows only the maximum protrusion 23b to be the unlocking portion.

[0064] Furthermore, in the toy 1 of this embodiment, the protrusion 23c is offset in a direction away from the attachment portion 15 at least relative to the maximum protrusion 23b, so that even if the protrusion size of the protrusion 23c is made the same as that of the maximum protrusion, it will not engage with one end of the lid portion 12, and a structure that makes it easy to hook a finger on is achieved.

[0065] In the toy 1 of this embodiment, the attachment portion 15 has a flat area outside the outermost diameter portion of the ring member 20, making it easier to rotate the ring member 20.

[0066] In the toy 1 of this embodiment, a temporary locking mechanism is provided around the hinge portion 18, so that the lid portion 12 can be temporarily locked in the middle of rotation, allowing the user to enjoy watching how the lid portion 12 opens. In addition, a clicking sensation can be produced in the middle of rotation, improving the feeling of rotating the lid portion 12.

[0067] In the toy 1 of this embodiment, when the ring member 20 is attached to the attachment part 15, the identification protrusion 21p is detected by the detection part 14p, and therefore a predetermined effect can be output by the information function of the identification protrusion 21p.

[0068] Furthermore, in the toy 1 of this embodiment, the identification protrusion 21p is configured so that its protruding height is equal to or lower than the surrounding protruding wall portion 21w, so that the identification protrusion 21p can be protected.

[0069] In addition, in the toy 1 of this embodiment, since the number of identification protrusions 21p is greater than the number of detection portions 14p of the main body portion 11, the ring member 20 can have more identification patterns, making it possible to use it for other performance output toys.

[0070] In addition, in the toy 1 of this embodiment, the brush member 30 can be used to operate the main body 11, so that the range of ways of playing can be expanded. In addition, since it is possible to perform effects linked to the effects on the main body 11 side, it is possible to diversify the performance output.

[0071] Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention can be modified as appropriate within the scope of its technical concept. For example, the shapes and structures of the main body 11, the lid 12, and the ring member 20 are not limited to those shown in the drawings, and can be modified as appropriate.
