Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0008] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0009] [1. Overall Configuration of the Shooting Toy] FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 are perspective views of the shooting toy 1 according to the present embodiment, where FIG. 1 is a view showing the fire extinguishing training mode described later, and FIG. 2 is a view showing the fire station mode described later. FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of the shooting toy 1. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the target toy 1 can play a target game imitating the fire extinguishing activity by the vehicle toy C. The target toy 1 is an example of the rotating toy according to the present invention. Specifically, the target toy 1 includes a base unit 20, a target field unit 40 disposed on the base unit 20, and a launching device 60. The target field 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 target toy 1 is configured to be able to take 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 station 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 target toy 1 refer to the directions shown in each figure. Since the target field unit 40 and the launching device 60 are configured to change their orientations as described above, the state in the fire extinguishing training mode M1 will be described unless otherwise specified. In addition, in the target field unit 40, the open side of the target field unit 40 in a plane orthogonal 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 target field 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 that opens 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. An operation handle 213 that the user (operator) operates when rotating the target unit 40 is disposed at the right end of the slope 212 in the base plate 21. A protrusion formed on the base plate 21 on the side opposite (left side) to the operation handle 213 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 a power switch 214 for switching ON / OFF of the power supply, a battery housing portion 215 for housing a battery, and a speaker 216 for outputting sound, a control circuit for driving the target toy 1, a control board (not shown) on which electronic components are mounted, etc. are disposed 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 about the central axis Ax. The rotating gear 30 is rotatably supported about the central axis Ax by a plurality of wheels 31. The rotating gear 30 meshes with the operation handle 213 via a connecting gear (not shown) and rotates about 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 disposed 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, the circumferential position of the rotating gear 30 is detected based on the combination of the detection results of the two detection switches 35.

[0014] The rotating plate 22 is formed in a disc shape and is arranged to close the upper surface opening of the concave portion 211. The rotating plate 22 is supported by the base plate 21 so as to be relatively rotatable about the cylindrical central portion 221 and is fixed to the rotating gear 30, and rotates integrally with the rotating gear 30 about the central axis Ax. A plurality of retaining plates 223 for preventing the rotating plate 22 from floating (falling upward) are arranged at the peripheral edge of the rotating plate 22 and are fixed to the base plate 21. The rotating plate 22 is locked at a predetermined circumferential position (rotating position) corresponding to the fire department mode M2 and the fire extinguishing training mode M1 by a locking member (not shown) held by the base plate 21. On approximately the rear half of the upper surface of the rotating plate 22, a flat parking platform 25 is arranged. The upper surface of the parking platform 25 can accommodate, for example, a plurality (three in this embodiment) of vehicle toys C arranged side by side in the left - right direction. The parking platform 25 has support protrusions 251 protruding from both left and right sides at the rear end, and is supported by the rotating plate 22 so as to be rotatable about the support protrusions 251. An upright lever 252 protrudes from the left side portion of the parking platform 25. When the user operates to pull the upright lever 252 to the rear side (the back side B), the parking platform 25 rotates about the support protrusions 251 and stands up (tilts) so as to raise the front side (the front side F).

[0015] The first undulation control plate 23 is for undulating the undulation member 43 of the shooting range unit 40 described later, and is an example of the first movable member according to the present invention. The first undulation control plate 23 is formed in a substantially flat plate shape and is arranged approximately at the center in a plan view within the concave portion 211 in a state orthogonal to the vertical direction. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the first undulation control plate 23 is formed with a plurality of long - hole - shaped guide holes 231 along the front - rear direction. A cylindrical guide portion 225 erected on the lower surface of the rotating plate 22 is inserted into each guide hole 231 from above so as to be movable along the guide hole 231. Also, a long - hole - shaped insertion hole 232 through which the central portion 221 of the rotating plate 22 is inserted from above is formed at approximately the central portion of the first undulation control plate 23. On the lower surface of the first undulation control plate 23, a roller support portion 233 that supports a cylindrical roller 26 at its tip is erected (see FIG. 9 etc.). The roller 26 is slidably (or rollably) fitted into a guide groove 217 formed in the base plate 21. The guide groove 217 is formed in an orbit that is circular in plan view and eccentric from the central axis Ax, and its center P is located on the front side of the central axis Ax.

[0016] With such a configuration, the first undulation control plate 23 rotates and translates with respect to the rotating plate 22 while rotating as the rotating plate 22 rotates. Specifically, when the rotating plate 22 rotates around the central axis Ax, a rotational force in the same direction acts on the first undulation control plate 23 through the guide portion 225 of the rotating plate 22. At this time, since the rotation of the first undulation control plate 23 is restricted by the guide groove 217 of the base plate 21 via the roller 26, it rotates around the center P of the guide groove 217. As a result, the first undulation control plate 23 rotates along an orbit eccentric from the rotation center of the rotating plate 22 as the rotating plate 22 rotates, and translates with respect to the rotating plate 22. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, as the shift from the fire extinguishing training mode M1 to the fire department mode M2 occurs, the first undulation control plate 23 translates toward the back side B of the target field unit 40 by a distance corresponding to the amount of eccentricity.

[0017] On the upper surface of the first undulation control plate 23, two connecting protrusions 234 arranged side by side in the left - right direction are erected. The connecting protrusions 234 protrude above the rotating plate 22 through the through - holes 226 of the rotating plate 22 (see FIG. 3), and are connected to a connecting member 46 of the target field unit 40 described later. At the tip (upper end) of the connecting protrusion 234, a U - shaped opening 235 that opens upward is formed in side view (viewed from the left - right direction). In the opening 235, a connecting member 46 (connecting shaft 461) of the target field unit 40 described later is fitted so as to be movable in the vertical direction (see FIGS. 9 and 10). The undulation operation of the undulation member 43 accompanying the movement of the first undulation control plate 23 will be described later.

[0018] [3. Configuration of the target field unit] FIG. 7 is an exploded perspective view of the shooting range unit 40. As shown in FIG. 7, the shooting range unit 40 includes a support case 41, a shooting slope 42, a second undulation control plate 45, and a connecting member 46. The shooting range unit 40 is an example of the 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 houses the second undulation control plate 45 and the connecting member 46. The lower part of the support case 41 is formed in a shape corresponding 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 base 25 of the base unit 20 in a state of being open to the rear (back side B) (see FIG. 2).

[0020] The shooting slope 42 is arranged above the support case 41 and fixed to the support case 41. The shooting slope 42 is formed in a slope shape inclined downward to the front and has a floor surface 42a inclined with respect to the vertical direction (vertical direction). The front lower end of the shooting slope 42 is open to the front, and the periphery except the lower end is covered with a wall. On the floor surface 42a of the shooting slope 42, a plurality of undulation members 43, which are targets of the shooting game and have different sizes and shapes, are arranged.

[0021] FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining the support structure of the undulation member 43. Each undulation member 43 is formed in a substantially flat plate shape imitating fire and is supported by the shooting slope 42 so as to be undulatable. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8, each undulation member 43 has two support shafts 431, a front leg 432, and a rear leg 433. The two support shafts 431 are coaxially arranged on the left and right sides of the lower end of the undulating member 43. Each support shaft 431 is formed in a columnar shape along the left-right direction and is rotatably supported by the 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 the left and right sides of the lower end of the recess 42b. The bearing portion 421 has an upper opening into which the support shaft 431 can be inserted, and a retaining means for suppressing the dropping out of the support shaft 431 is formed. A protruding first locking portion 421a for locking the undulating member 43 is formed on the bottom surface of one of the bearing portions 421. On one side of the two support shafts 431 corresponding to the bearing portion 421 having the first locking portion 421a, a second locking portion 431a that is locked to the first locking portion 421a of the bearing portion 421 is formed. As will be described later, the first locking portion 421a and the second locking portion 431a lock to each other to maintain the standing state of the undulating member 43 specifically when shifting from the fire extinguishing training mode M1 to the fire department mode M2. The undulating member 43 is configured to be able to rotate around the support shaft 431 to undulate, and can take a standing state in which it stands in a forward-tilted posture with respect to the vertical direction, and a lying state in which it lies down on the floor surface 42a (inside the recess 42b) with the tip positioned on the higher side of the floor surface 42a.

[0022] The front leg portion 432 is formed in a substantially flat plate shape and protrudes forward substantially vertically from the left and right centers of the lower end of the undulating member 43. The front leg portion 432 abuts against the shooting slope 42 when the undulating member 43 is in the standing state to hold the undulating member 43 in the standing state. Also, in the standing state, the front leg portion 432 is disposed in 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 plate shape and protrudes rearward substantially vertically from the left and right centers of the lower end of the undulating 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 standing up and is locked to the second undulating control plate 45 (locking rib 453 described later) in the fire extinguishing training mode M1 to hold the standing state of the undulating member 43.

[0024] As shown in FIG. 7, the second undulation control plate 45 is for undulating the undulation member 43 and is an example of the second movable member according to the present invention. The second undulation control plate 45 is formed in a flat plate shape and is held in a state of being arranged parallel to the target slope 42 (that is, inclined downward forward) below the target slope 42. A plurality of long hole-shaped support holes 451 that are long in the front-rear direction are formed in the second undulation control plate 45. A columnar support shaft 422 erected on the lower surface of the target slope 42 is inserted into each support hole 451 from above so as to be movable along the support hole 451 (see FIG. 11 etc.). On the upper surface of the second undulation control plate 45, a plurality of pressing recesses 452 corresponding to the plurality of undulation members 43 are formed. The pressing recess 452 is for pushing the rear leg portion 433 of the undulation member 43 to raise the undulation member 43. Specifically, the pressing recess 452 is formed at a position corresponding to the rear leg portion 433 of the corresponding undulation member 43 and at a position corresponding to the front left and right center of the recess 42b of the target slope 42, and communicates with the inside of the recess 42b through a through hole 42d formed on the bottom surface of the recess 42b (see FIG. 8). When the undulation member 43 lies down when the second undulation control plate 45 is located on the front side F, the rear leg portion 433 of the undulation member 43 is accommodated in the pressing recess 452 (see FIG. 11). In the left and right center on the rear side in the pressing recess 452, a substantially flat plate-shaped locking rib 453 that is orthogonal to the left-right direction is erected. The locking rib 453 is for locking the rear leg portion 433 of the undulation member 43, and the locking rib 453 and the rear leg portion 433 lock to each other to hold the standing state of the undulation member 43 in the fire extinguishing training mode M1 as will be described later (see FIG. 13).

[0025] The connecting member 46 connects the second undulation control plate 45 to the first undulation control plate 23 of the base unit 20 and interlocks them. The connecting member 46 is arranged at the left and right center of the lower end of the second undulation control plate 45 and is fixed to the second undulation control plate 45. The connecting member 46 has a connecting shaft 461 along the left - right direction at the lower part (see Fig. 10 etc.). The connecting shaft 461 is connected to two connecting protrusions 234 of the first undulation control plate 23 of the base unit 20. Specifically, the connecting shaft 461 is fitted movably in the vertical direction into the openings 235 of the two connecting protrusions 234.

[0026] [4. Structure of the Launching Device] As shown in Figs. 1 and 3, the launching device 60 is arranged at the lower end of the front side F of the target field unit 40, and shoots the vehicle toy C onto the shooting slope 42. Specifically, the launching device 60 is detachably attached to the rotating plate 22 of the base unit 20 and is supported so as to be rotatable (pitching) left and right within a predetermined range. The launching device 60 includes a pair of running plates 63 and a shooting part 65. The pair of running plates 63 are shooting lanes on which the vehicle toy C as the shooting object is placed, corresponding to the left and right wheels of the vehicle toy C. The pair of running plates 63 are inclined along the shooting slope 42 so as to be positioned upward as they go backward. The shooting part 65 is arranged on the pair of running plates 63 and shoots the vehicle toy C placed on the pair of running plates 63 along the pair of running plates 63. The end face on the back side B of the shooting part 65 supports the rear end face of the vehicle toy C placed on the pair of running plates 63. The shooting part 65 is biased in the shooting direction along the running plate 63 by a biasing member (not shown). The user shoots the vehicle toy C by pulling the operation lever 652 formed at the front end of the shooting part 65 forward against the biasing force of the biasing member and then releasing it.

[0027] [5. Undulating Motion of the Undulating Member] The undulating motion of the undulating member 43 accompanying the rotation of the target field unit 40 will be described. Figs. 9 and 10 are diagrams for explaining the interlocking of the first undulation control plate 23 and the second undulation control plate 45, and Figs. 11 - 13 are diagrams for explaining the interlocking of the second undulation control plate 45 and the undulating member 43.

[0028] As described above, when the rotating plate 22 of the base unit 20 rotates around the central axis Ax, since the rotation center of the first undulation control plate 23 is eccentric from the central axis Ax, it also rotates and translates along the front-rear direction of the target field unit 40 (see FIGS. 5 and 6). When shifting from the fire extinguishing training mode M1 to the fire department mode M2, the first undulation control plate 23 moves to the back side B. At this time, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the first undulation control plate 23 is connected to the second undulation control plate 45 via a connecting member 46, and the connecting shaft 461 of the connecting member 46 is vertically movably fitted to the connecting protrusion 234 of the first undulation control plate 23. Therefore, as the first undulation control plate 23 moves to the back side B, the connecting member 46 moves the second undulation control plate 45 to the back side B while moving obliquely upward along the inclination of the target slope 42.

[0029] Here, as shown in FIG. 11, when the undulation member 43 was lying down in the fire extinguishing training mode M1, as a result of the second undulation control plate 45 moving to the back side B with the shift to the fire department mode M2, as shown in FIG. 12, the wall surface of the pressing recess 452 of the second undulation control plate 45 pushes the rear leg portion 433 of the undulation member 43 to the back side B. Then, the undulation member 43 rotates around the support shaft 431 at the lower end and stands up. In this standing state, the undulation member 43 stands on the floor surface 42a in a forward-inclined posture with respect to the vertical direction, that is, in a state where the tip is inclined to the side away from the floor surface 42a more than vertically upward.

[0030] When shifting to this standing state, as the support shaft 431 rotates within the bearing portion 421 of the target slope 42, the second locking portion 431a of the support shaft 431 gets over the first locking portion 421a of the bearing portion 421 and is locked to the first locking portion 421a. Thereby, the undulation member 43 is held in the standing state without relying on the support of the second undulation control plate 45, and the state of falling down to the back side B is suppressed.

[0031] In this state, when the fire extinguishing training mode M1 is entered again and the second undulating control plate 45 moves toward the front side F, as shown in FIG. 13, the locking rib 453 of the second undulating control plate 45 is positioned below the tip of the rear leg portion 433 of the undulating member 43. As a result, the rear leg portion 433 of the undulating member 43 is locked to the locking rib 453 of the second undulating control plate 45, and the locking rib 453 and the rear leg portion 433 maintain the standing state of the undulating member 43 in the fire extinguishing training mode M1, suppressing the state of falling backward to the rear side B.

[0032] [6. How to play with the target toy] An example of how to play with the target toy 1 will be described. Here, it is assumed that the target toy 1 is in the fire station mode M2, the vehicle toy C is placed on the parking platform 25, and all the undulating members 43 are in the standing state.

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

[0034] Next, when the user rotates the operation handle 213 of the base plate 21 in a predetermined direction, the rotating gear 30 meshing with the operation handle 213 rotates around the central axis Ax. Then, the rotating plate 22 fixed to the rotating gear 30 also rotates, and the target field unit 40 and the launching device 60 on the rotating plate 22 rotate to enter the fire extinguishing training mode M1. During the transition, dedicated music is output from the speaker 216. The completion of the transition to the fire extinguishing training mode M1 is detected by detecting the circumferential position of the rotating gear 30 with the detection switch 35. At this time, as the transition to the fire extinguishing training mode M1 occurs, the second undulation control plate 45 moves to the front side F, and as described above, the rear leg portion 433 of the undulation member 43 is in a state of being locked to the locking rib 453 of the second undulation control plate 45 (FIG. 13).

[0035] When it is detected that the transition to the fire extinguishing training mode M1 is completed, the music during the transition stops and an announcement voice indicating the start of the fire extinguishing training is output from the speaker 216. In the fire extinguishing training mode M1, the user sets the vehicle toy C on the running board 63 of the launching device 60, rotates the launching device 60, and aims at the undulation member 43 imitating a flame. Then, by pulling the operation lever 652 forward and then releasing it, the vehicle toy C is shot toward the undulation member 43. When the vehicle toy C hits the undulation member 43 and the force at that time is stronger than the locking force that holds the undulation member 43 in the upright state, the undulation member 43 falls down. The locking force that holds the undulation member 43 in the upright state includes the locking force between the rear leg portion 433 of the undulation member 43 and the locking rib 453 of the second undulation control plate 45, and the locking force between the first locking portion 421a of the shooting slope 42 and the second locking portion 431a of the undulation member 43.

[0036] When the user finishes the fire extinguishing training, a voice prompting the transition to the fire station mode M2, such as "Thank you for your hard work. Please return to the fire station", is output from the speaker 216. Therefore, when the user rotates the operation handle 213, the shooting range unit 40 and the launching device 60 on the rotating plate 22 rotate and transition to the fire station mode M2 in the same manner as when transitioning to the fire extinguishing training mode M1. At this time, as the transition to the fire station mode M2 occurs, the second undulation control plate 45 moves to the back side B, and as described above, all the undulation members 43 stand up. In the transition to this upright state, the second locking portion 431a of the undulation member 43 gets over the first locking portion 421a of the shooting slope 42 and is locked to the first locking portion 421a, and the undulation member 43 is held in the upright state (FIG. 12).

[0037] When it is detected that the transition to the fire department mode M2 is completed, for example, a voice such as "Please put the vehicle in the garage" is output from the speaker 216. The user places the vehicle toy C on the parking base 25 and ends the target shooting game with the target shooting toy 1.

[0038] [7. Technical effects of this embodiment] As described above, according to this embodiment, as the target shooting unit (rotating stage) 40 rotates on the base unit (base) 20, the undulating member 43 is configured to be undulatable. Thereby, just by rotating the target shooting unit 40, the undulating member 43 automatically stands up, so that the user can enjoy the target shooting game without having to stand up the target himself. That is, the user can save the trouble of raising the undulating member 43. Furthermore, since the undulating member 43 undulates automatically as the target shooting unit 40 rotates, the user can easily understand how to play.

[0039] Also, according to this embodiment, the first undulation control plate (first movable member) 23 rotates along an orbit eccentric from the central axis Ax of the rotation center as the target shooting unit 40 rotates, and translates with respect to the target shooting unit 40, and the second undulation control plate (second movable member) 45 interlocks with the first undulation control plate 23 to undulate the undulating member 43. Thereby, the rotational motion can be converted into a translational motion with a relatively simple configuration, and the undulation of the undulating member 43 can be realized.

[0040] Also, according to this embodiment, the undulating member 43 in the standing state stands on the floor surface 42a inclined with respect to the vertical direction in a state where the tip is inclined to the side separated from the floor surface 42a more than vertically upward. Thereby, the undulating member 43 stands up in a forward inclined posture with its own weight applied to the side opposite to the falling direction, so that it is difficult to fall in the falling direction. Therefore, for example, it is possible to prevent the undulating member 43 from falling due to an unintended impact or malfunction.

[0041] Further, according to the present embodiment, the target field unit 40 has a first locking portion 421a that locks the undulating member 43 and holds the standing state of the undulating member 43. Thereby, the standing state of the undulating member 43 can be held only by the target field unit 40. Therefore, the second undulation control plate 45 that raises the undulating member 43 can be moved while maintaining the standing state of the undulating member 43. Furthermore, the undulating member 43 has a second locking portion 431a that is locked to the first locking portion 421a of the target field unit 40 and holds the standing state of the undulating member 43. Thereby, the standing state of the undulating member 43 can be held more firmly only by the target field unit 40.

[0042] Also, according to the present embodiment, the undulating member 43 has a rear leg portion 433 (third locking portion) that is locked to the second undulation control plate 45 and holds the standing state of the undulating member 43. Thereby, the second undulation control plate 45 can raise the undulating member 43 and at the same time hold the standing state of the undulating member 43 with a desired locking force.

[0043] Also, according to the present embodiment, the undulating member 43 is provided on the side opposite to the falling direction of the undulating member 43 and has a front leg portion 432 that holds the standing state of the undulating member 43. Therefore, when the undulating member 43 falls backward, the front leg portion 432 stands up. That is, after the undulating member 43 falls, the front leg portion 432 becomes a shield for the target field. Therefore, as the number of fallen undulating members increases, the number of shields increases, so that the difficulty level of the target game can be suitably increased.

[0044] [8. Others] As described above, the embodiments of the present invention have been described, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. For example, in the above embodiment, as an example of the rotating toy according to the present invention, a target toy with an undulating member as a target has been described. However, the present invention only needs to cause the undulating member to undulate as the rotating stage rotates, and the usage mode of the undulating member is not particularly limited.

[0045] In addition, the details shown in the above embodiments can be appropriately changed without departing from the gist of the invention.
