DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0018] 1 and 2 show an example of a moving toy for explaining an embodiment of the present invention, and Fig. 3 shows the movement of the moving toy in Fig. 1. For the purpose of explaining this embodiment, the direction in which an unlock button 6 (described later) exists will be referred to as the "upward direction," and the opposite direction will be referred to as the "downward direction." Also, the direction in which the rotating part 3 exists along the rotation axis Z of the rotating part 3 will be referred to as the "forward direction," and the opposite direction will be referred to as the "rearward direction."

[0019] The moving toy 1 includes a main body 2 and a rotating part 3 that is rotatable relative to the main body 2. A belt 4 is provided on the main body 2, and the main body 2 is configured to be wearable around the waist of a user, for example.

[0020] The rotating unit 3 has a first mounting portion 7 and a second mounting portion 8 to which secondary toy bodies 101, 102 are detachably attached. The first mounting portion 7 and the second mounting portion 8 are located opposite each other, sandwiching a central portion 9 of the rotating unit 3 that intersects with the rotation axis Z of the rotating unit 3. In the illustrated example, the secondary toy body 101 is attached to the first mounting portion 7 and the secondary toy body 102 is attached to the second mounting portion 8, but the secondary toy body 101 can also be attached to the second mounting portion 8 by, for example, turning the secondary toy body 101 upside down and left to right.

[0021] The moving toy 1 includes a locking unit 5 that locks the rotating unit 3 so that it cannot rotate, and an unlocking button 6. When the rotating unit 3 is locked by the locking unit 5, the opposing direction of the first mounting unit 7 and the second mounting unit 8 of the rotating unit 3 is parallel to the extension direction of the belt 4. The position of the rotating unit 3 where the opposing direction of the first mounting unit 7 and the second mounting unit 8 is parallel to the extension direction of the belt 4 is hereinafter referred to as the locked position.

[0022] An unlock button 6 is provided on the main body 2, and operating the unlock button 6 unlocks the lock on the rotating part 3. When the lock is released, the rotating part 3 rotates a predetermined angle in the direction of arrow A1 shown in Fig. 3. Below, we will explain the lock part 5 and the driving means that rotates the rotating part 3 a predetermined angle when the lock is released.

[0023] FIG. 4 shows the locking portion 5.

[0024] The locking unit 5 has a locking pin 10 and a spring 11. The locking pin 10 is supported by the main body 2 so as to be movable along the rotation axis Z of the rotating unit 3. The spring 11 elastically biases the locking pin 10 toward the rotating unit 3. A recess 12 is provided on the back surface of the rotating unit 3 on the main body 2 side, and as shown in FIG. 4(A), when the rotating unit 3 is placed in the locked position, a protrusion 13 of the locking pin 10 fits into the recess 12. When the protrusion 13 fits into the recess 12, the rotating unit 3 is locked so that it cannot rotate.

[0025] The unlock button 6 is supported by the main body 2 so as to be movable in a direction intersecting the rotation axis Z of the rotating unit 3. The lock pin 10 has an inclined surface 14 formed thereon that is inclined with respect to the movement direction of the lock pin 10 and the movement direction of the unlock button 6 (in this embodiment, the inclination is from rear to front as it moves downward), and the unlock button 6 also has an inclined surface 15 that is similarly inclined (in this embodiment, the inclination is from rear to front as it moves downward). When the unlock button 6 is pressed in the direction of arrow A2 shown in FIG. 4(B), the inclined surface 15 of the unlock button 6 slides over the inclined surface 14 of the lock pin 10, and the inclined surface 14 is pushed toward the main body 2 along the movement direction of the lock pin 10. This disengages the convex portion 13 of the lock pin 10 from the concave portion 12, unlocking the rotating unit 3.

[0026] 5 to 7 show an example of a driving means for rotating the rotating part 3 by a predetermined angle when the lock is released.

[0027] The driving means 20 shown in FIGS. 5 to 7 includes a cam 21, a follower 22, and a spring 23. The cam 21 is provided on the main body 2, is formed in a substantially triangular shape, and has an inclined surface 24 inclined in the direction of arrow A1, which is the rotation direction of the rotating unit 3 (in this embodiment, the inclination is from front to rear as it goes downward). An edge 24e of the inclined surface 24, which is located on the outer diameter side when viewed from the rotation axis Z of the rotating unit 3, is inclined in the radial direction. The follower 22 is provided on the rotating unit 3, and is arranged on a circumference that intersects with the cam 21 and is centered on the rotation axis Z of the rotating unit 3. The follower 22 is elastically biased toward the main body 2 by the spring 23. Note that in this embodiment, a configuration in which the cam 21 is provided on the main body 2 and the follower 22 is provided on the rotating unit 3 will be described. However, the cam 21 may be provided on the rotating unit 3 and the follower 22 may be provided on the main body 2.

[0028] When the rotating part 3 is locked, the follower 22 is at position P11, past the apex of the triangular cam 21 in the direction of arrow A1, and is in contact with edge 24e at the upper end of inclined surface 24 of cam 21. When the rotating part 3 is unlocked, the follower 22, biased by spring 23, slides on inclined surface 24 from the upper end to the lower end, rotating the rotating part 3 in the direction of arrow A1 as it slides. When the follower 22 moves to position P12 where it reaches the lower end of inclined surface 24, the rotating part 3 is rotated a predetermined angle.

[0029] The rotating unit 3 rotated by the driving means 20 by a predetermined angle is stopped by a stopper 25. The stopper 25 is provided on the rotating unit 3 and is arranged on a circumference that intersects with the cam 21 around the rotation axis Z of the rotating unit 3. The stopper 25 is elastically biased toward the main body 2 by a spring 26. When the rotating unit 3 is locked, the stopper 25 is at position P21 away from the cam 21. When the rotating unit 3 is rotated by a predetermined angle by the driving means 20, the stopper 25 is moved to position P22 where it contacts the cam 21. The abutment of the stopper 25 with the cam 21 stops the rotating unit 3 at a position rotated by a predetermined angle from the locked position. When an external force that rotates the rotating unit 3 further in the direction of arrow A1 is applied to the rotating unit 3, the stopper 25 climbs over the top of the cam 21 and is released. This allows the rotating unit 3 to further rotate in the direction of arrow A1.

[0030] 8 shows the rotation of the rotating part 3. In FIG. 8, the sub-toy body 101 is attached only to the first attachment part 7.

[0031] In this embodiment, the rotating unit 3 is configured to rotate counterclockwise when the user wearing the main body unit 2 is viewed from the front. First, as shown in FIG. 8(A), the rotating unit 3 is placed in the locked position. The user operates the unlock button 6 to unlock the rotating unit 3. As shown in FIG. 8(B), when the lock of the rotating unit 3 is released, the rotating unit 3 is rotated by a predetermined angle in the direction of arrow A1 (counterclockwise) by the driving means 20 and is stopped by the stopper 25. At this time, the convex portion 13 of the lock pin 10 is displaced from the concave portion 12, so the rotating unit 3 remains unlocked even when the unlock button 6 is released.

[0032] Thereafter, for example, when the user presses down the first attachment portion 7 forcefully, the stopper 25 is released, and the rotating portion 3 is further rotated in the direction of the arrow A1 as shown in Fig. 8(C). Then, as shown in Fig. 8(D), when the rotating portion 3 rotates once and returns to the locked position, the rotating portion 3 is locked again by the lock portion 5. With the moving toy 1 configured in this manner, when the unlock button 6 is operated, the rotating portion 3 is rotated in one direction by a predetermined angle, so that the user can easily recognize the appropriate rotation direction of the rotating portion 3 (the direction in which the rotating portion 3 should be rotated).

[0033] In this example, the rotating part 3 is rotated in one direction by the driving means 20 having the cam 21, follower 22, and spring 23, but the driving means is not limited to having the cam 21, follower 22, and spring 23. For example, the center of gravity of the rotating part 3 may be located at a position deviated from the rotation axis Z of the rotating part 3, and in this case, when the lock of the rotating part 3 is released, the rotating part 3 rotates in one direction so that the position of the center of gravity faces downward.

[0034] In order to enhance the entertainment value of the moving toy 1, the rotating part 3 is configured to be able to output a performance by attaching the sub-toy bodies 101, 102 to the first attachment part 7 and / or the second attachment part 8. The sub-toy bodies 101, 102 are also configured to be able to output a performance by being attached to the first attachment part 7 or the second attachment part 8 and rotating integrally with the rotating part 3.

[0035] FIG. 9 shows the functional blocks of the moving toy 1.

[0036] The secondary toy bodies 101 and 102 have unique identification information ID. The rotating unit 3 has a first reading unit 30 and a second reading unit 31 that read the identification information ID of the secondary toy bodies 101 and 102, a main performance output unit 32, a main memory unit 33 that stores operation data of the main performance output unit 32, and a main control unit 34.

[0037] The first reading unit 30 is provided on the first mounting part 7 and reads the identification information ID of the secondary toy objects 101, 102 attached to the first mounting part 7. The second reading unit 31 is provided on the second mounting part 8 and reads the identification information ID of the secondary toy objects 101, 102 attached to the second mounting part 8.

[0038] In this example, the main performance output unit 32 uses a display such as a dot matrix LED (Light Emitting Diode) that can display characters, symbols, and images, and is provided in the center 9 of the rotating unit 3. Note that the performance is not limited to the display of characters, symbols, and images, but may also use sound or light, and various devices are used depending on the performance.

[0039] The main memory unit 33 is configured to include storage media such as ROM (Read Only Memory) and RAM (Random Access Memory), and stores programs executed by the main control unit 34 and operation data corresponding to the identification information of the secondary toy objects.

[0040] The main control unit 34 is mainly configured with a microprocessor, and operates in accordance with a program stored in the main memory unit 33 to comprehensively control the operation of each unit of the rotating unit 3. The main control unit 34 reads from the main memory unit 33 the operation data corresponding to the identification information ID read by the first reading unit 30 or the second reading unit 31, and operates the main performance output unit 32 based on the read operation data.

[0041] The secondary toy body 101 has a detection unit 110 that detects the attachment of the rotating part 3 to the first attachment part 7 or the second attachment part 8 and the rotation of the rotating part 3, a secondary performance output unit 111, a secondary memory unit 112 that stores operation data etc. of the secondary performance output unit 111, and a secondary control unit 113. The secondary toy body 102 also has a detection unit 110, a secondary performance output unit 111, a secondary memory unit 112, and a secondary control unit 113.

[0042] The sub-performance output unit 111 includes a sound-emitting device such as a speaker and a light-emitting device such as an LED (Light Emitting Diode), and is configured to be able to output performances using sound and light. The sub-storage unit 112 includes storage media such as ROM and RAM, and the sub-control unit 113 is mainly configured with a microprocessor.

[0043] The sub-storage unit 112 stores first operation data and second operation data as operation data. The first operation data corresponds to an effect to be output when the sub-toy body 101, 102 is attached to the first attachment part 7 or the second attachment part 8, and the second operation data corresponds to an effect to be output when the rotating part 3 is rotated once.

[0044] When the detection unit 110 detects that the sub-toy objects 101, 102 have been attached to the first attachment unit 7 or the second attachment unit 8, the sub-control unit 113 reads out the first operation data from the sub-storage unit 112 and operates the sub-performance output unit 111 based on the read out first operation data. Also, when the detection unit 110 detects that the rotating unit 3 has rotated once, the sub-control unit 113 reads out the second operation data from the sub-storage unit 112 and operates the sub-performance output unit 111 based on the read out second operation data.

[0045] Fig. 10 shows an example of the configuration of a detection unit 110 that detects the identification information ID held by the sub-toy body 101, the attachment of the rotating unit 3 to the first attachment unit 7 or the second attachment unit 8, and the rotation of the rotating unit 3. Fig. 11 shows an example of the configuration of the first attachment unit 7 of the rotating unit 3, and Fig. 12 shows an example of the configuration of the second attachment unit 8 of the rotating unit 3.

[0046] As shown in Figure 10, the secondary toy body 101 has, on its surface facing the rotating part 3, a rail 40 that determines the mounting direction when the secondary toy body 101 is mounted to the first mounting part 7 or the second mounting part 8, a plurality of protrusions 41 that form identification information ID, and a first switch 42 and a second switch 43 that form the detection part 110.

[0047] The plurality of protrusions 41 are arranged in a matrix, and identification information ID is configured by the arrangement pattern of the protrusions 41. In this example, protrusions 41 are provided at six locations among nine matrix elements arranged in a matrix of three columns in the X direction and three rows in the Y direction.

[0048] As shown in Figure 11, the first mounting portion 7 of the rotating portion 3 has a rail guide 50 that engages with the rail 40 of the secondary toy body 101, a first switch 51 to a third switch 53 that constitute the first reading portion 30 that reads the identification information ID of the secondary toy body 101, and a movable pressing portion 54 and a fixed pressing portion 55 that can press the first switch 42 and the second switch 43 of the secondary toy body 101.

[0049] The first switch 51 to the third switch 53 are arranged side by side in the X direction, and when the sub-toy body 101 is attached to the first attachment part 7, the first row of protrusions passes through the first switch 51 to the third switch 53, then the second row of protrusions passes through the first switch 51 to the third switch 53, and finally the third row of protrusions passes through the first switch 51 to the third switch 53. In this way, the arrangement pattern of the plurality of protrusions 41 is detected and the identification information ID is read.

[0050] The movable pressing part 54 protrudes from the surface of the first mounting part 7 in response to the rotation of the rotating part 3 and retracts into the first mounting part 7. The movable pressing part 54 protrudes from the surface of the first mounting part 7 at least when the rotating part 3 is arranged in the locked position, and by protruding, it presses the first switch 42 of the secondary toy body 101 attached to the first mounting part 7. On the other hand, the fixed pressing part 55 is fixedly provided in a state protruding from the surface of the first mounting part 7, and always presses the second switch 43 of the secondary toy body 101 attached to the first mounting part 7.

[0051] When the secondary toy body 101 is attached to the first attachment part 7 with the rotating part 3 in the locked position, the first switch 42 and second switch 43 of the secondary toy body 101 are pressed by the movable pressing part 54 and fixed pressing part 55, thereby detecting that the secondary toy body 101 has been attached to the first attachment part 7. Furthermore, as the rotating part 3 makes one rotation and returns to the locked position, the movable pressing part 54 repeatedly protrudes and retracts, turning the first switch 42 on and off a predetermined number of times. This detects that the rotating part 3 has made one rotation.

[0052] Like the first mounting part 7, the second mounting part 8 of the rotating part 3 also has a rail guide 50, a first switch 51 to a third switch 53 that constitute a second reading part 31 that reads the identification information ID of the secondary toy body 101, and a movable pressing part 54 and a fixed pressing part 55 that can press the first switch 42 and the second switch 43 of the secondary toy body 101.

[0053] 12, the sub-toy object 101 can also be attached to the second attachment part 8 with the top and bottom reversed and the left and right reversed. The arrangement of the first switch 51 to the third switch 53 on the second attachment part 8 is upside down and the arrangement of the first switch 51 to the third switch 53 on the first attachment part 7 is reversed vertically, so that the identification information ID read by the first reading part 30 when detecting the arrangement pattern of the protrusions 41 on the sub-toy object 101 is the same as the identification information ID read by the second reading part 31 when detecting the arrangement pattern of the protrusions 41 on the sub-toy object 101.

[0054] On the other hand, the arrangement of the movable pressing portions 54 and fixed pressing portions 55 on the second mounting portion 8 is the same as the arrangement of the movable pressing portions 54 and fixed pressing portions 55 on the first mounting portion 7. Therefore, when the secondary toy body 101 is attached to the second mounting portion 8, the second switch 43 is turned on / off a predetermined number of times as the rotating portion 3 rotates once and returns to the locked position. Based on whether the first switch 42 or the second switch 43 is turned on / off in response to the rotation of the rotating portion 3, it is also detected whether the secondary toy body 101 is attached to the first mounting portion 7 or the second mounting portion 8.

[0055] 13 and 14 show a movement mechanism of the movable pressing portion 54. FIG.

[0056] The movement mechanism 60, which causes the movable pressing portions 54 of the first mounting portion 7 and the second mounting portion 8 of the rotating portion 3 to protrude and retract, has a pair of guides 61. The pair of guides 61 are formed in a substantially trapezoidal shape and are provided on the main body 2 behind the movable pressing portions 54 of the first mounting portion 7 and the second mounting portion 8, protruding toward the rotating portion 3 when the rotating portion 3 is placed in the locked position. The movable pressing portion 54 is arranged on a circumference that intersects with the guides 61 and is centered on the rotation axis Z of the rotating portion 3, and is elastically biased toward the main body 2 by a spring 62.

[0057] When the rotating unit 3 is disposed in the locked position, the movable pressing portion 54 of the first mounting portion 7 rides on one of the guides 61 and is disposed so as to protrude from the surface of the first mounting portion 7. When the rotating unit 3 is rotated 180° from the locked position, the movable pressing portion 54 of the first mounting portion 7 rides on the other guide 61 and is disposed so as to protrude from the surface of the first mounting portion 7. Similarly, when the rotating unit 3 is disposed in the locked position and when it is rotated 180° from the locked position, the movable pressing portion 54 of the second mounting portion 8 rides on the guide 61 and is disposed so as to protrude from the surface of the second mounting portion 8.

[0058] Assuming that the number of guides 61 is n (n=2 in this example), the movable pressing portion 54 of the first mounting portion 7 is arranged so that it protrudes n+1 times from the surface of the first mounting portion 7 before the rotating portion 3 rotates once from the locked position and returns to the locked position, counting the protrusion when the rotating portion 3 is in the locked position as the first time. In other words, assuming that the secondary toy body 101 is attached to the first mounting portion 7, and counting the first switch 42 of the secondary toy body 101 being turned on when the rotating portion 3 is in the locked position as the first time, the first switch 42 of the secondary toy body 101 is turned on n+1 times before the rotating portion 3 rotates once from the locked position and returns to the locked position. Furthermore, assuming that the secondary toy body 101 is attached to the second attachment part 8, if the first time the second switch 43 of the secondary toy body 101 is turned on while in the locked position is counted, then the second switch 43 of the secondary toy body 101 will be turned on n+1 times before the rotating part 3 rotates once from the locked position and returns to the locked position again. In this way, when the first switch 42 or the second switch 43 of the secondary toy body 101 is turned on n+1 times, it is detected that the rotating part 3 has rotated once, and it is also detected whether the secondary toy body 101 is attached to the first attachment part 7 or the second attachment part 8, based on whether the first switch 42 or the second switch 43 is turned on / off.

[0059] 15 shows an example of a performance output from a secondary toy body 101 attached to the first attachment portion 7 and a secondary toy body 102 attached to the second attachment portion 8. The secondary toy body 101 and the secondary toy body 102 may be the same type of secondary toy body or different types of secondary toy bodies.

[0060] First, at time T1, the secondary toy object 101 is attached to the first attachment part 7. At this time, the first switch 42 of the secondary toy object 101 is pressed by the movable pressing part 54 of the first attachment part 7, and simultaneously the second switch 43 is pressed by the fixed pressing part 55, causing the secondary toy object 101 to output a wearing effect corresponding to the first operation data stored in the secondary toy object 101. Next, at time T2, the secondary toy object 102 is attached to the second attachment part 8. At this time, the second switch 43 of the secondary toy object 102 is pressed by the movable pressing part 54 of the second attachment part 8, and simultaneously the first switch 42 is pressed by the fixed pressing part 55, causing the secondary toy object 102 to output a wearing effect corresponding to the first operation data stored in the secondary toy object 102. Then, at time T3 after the secondary toy object 101 has completed outputting the wearing effect and the secondary toy object 102 has completed outputting the wearing effect, the rotating part 3 rotates once.

[0061] The secondary toy body 101 and the secondary toy body 102 each detect that the rotating part 3 has rotated once, and the secondary toy body 101 executes a performance corresponding to the second operation data stored in the secondary toy body 101, and the secondary toy body 102 also executes a performance corresponding to the second operation data stored in the secondary toy body 102 in synchronization with the secondary toy body 101.

[0062] Here, the second operation data has a first effect selected based on the on / off state of the first switch 42 and a second effect selected based on the on / off state of the second switch 43. The first effect of the second operation data is executed in the first half of the execution time of the second operation data, and the second effect is executed in the second half of the execution time of the second operation data. The sub-toy object 101 recognizes that it is attached to the first attachment part 7 based on the on / off state of the first switch 42, and selects and outputs the first effect of the second operation data. Meanwhile, the sub-toy object 102 recognizes that it is attached to the second attachment part 8 based on the on / off state of the second switch 43, and selects and outputs the second effect of the second operation data. In this case, the sub-toy object 101 outputs the first effect, and following this first effect, the sub-toy object 102 outputs the second effect. In this way, when the second effect of the second half is output following the first effect of the first half, a dialogue between the sub-toy objects 101 and 102 can be realized, further increasing the entertainment value.

[0063] 15, the output of the attachment effect for secondary toy object 102 begins after the output of the attachment effect for secondary toy object 101 is completed, but secondary toy object 102 may be attached to second attachment portion 8 while the attachment effect for secondary toy object 101 is being output, so that the attachment effect for secondary toy object 101 and the attachment effect for secondary toy object 102 are superimposed. Also, in the above embodiment, an example in which operation is performed by pressing a switch is described, but this is not limited to this as long as the operation is performed by operating a switch. For example, the device may be configured to recognize the change between on and off of the switch caused by releasing the switch from being pressed. [Explanation of symbols]
