[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a moving toy that moves on an inclined surface. [Background technology]

[0002] Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No. 05-020792 (Patent Document 1) describes a walking doll that includes a cylindrical body and a pair of legs that are swingably mounted inside the cylindrical body. This walking doll descends a gently sloping slope by alternately stepping forward with the pair of legs and repeating this motion. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 05-020792 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, the technology described in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1 requires a pair of legs to alternately step down an inclined surface, which not only makes the structure complex but also requires high component precision for accurate operation. An object of the present invention is to provide a moving toy that can move on an inclined surface with an interesting movement and that can have a simple structure. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] In one aspect of the present invention, a moving toy that moves along an inclined surface comprises a main body, an opposing member attached to the main body and facing the inclined surface, a rotating body that rotates around a rotation axis attached to the opposing member, a first contact member attached to the opposing member in the direction of movement when the opposing member moves along the inclined surface and capable of contacting the inclined surface, and a second contact member attached to the opposing member on the opposite side of the rotating member from the direction of movement and capable of contacting the inclined surface, and while moving along the inclined surface, the toy can take a first state in which the rotating body and the first contact member contact the inclined surface and the second contact member moves away from the inclined surface, and a second state in which the rotating body and the second contact member contact the inclined surface and the first contact member moves away from the inclined surface. In another aspect of the present invention, a moving toy that moves on an inclined surface comprises a main body, an opposing member attached to the main body and facing the inclined surface, and a rotating body that rotates around a rotation axis attached to the opposing member, wherein the rotating body is formed in a shape that gradually becomes smaller in diameter from the center in the axial direction toward both sides in the axial direction, so that it can move on the inclined surface while swinging to both sides in the axial direction of the rotation axis. In another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a mobile toy that moves down an inclined surface under its own weight, comprising a main body, an opposing member attached to the main body and facing the inclined surface, and a rotating body that rotates around a rotation axis attached to the opposing member, wherein the rotating body is formed into a shape that gradually becomes smaller in diameter from the center in the axial direction of the rotation axis toward both sides in the axial direction, thereby allowing the toy to move down the inclined surface while swinging on both sides in the axial direction. [Effects of the Invention]

[0006] According to the present invention, it is possible to move on an inclined surface with an interesting action and to simplify the structure. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

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

[0009] Figure 1 shows a view of the mobile toy from the front, Figure 2 shows a view from the A arrow in Figure 1, Figure 3 shows a view from the B arrow in Figure 1, Figure 4 shows a cross-sectional view along line CC in Figure 3, Figure 5 shows a cross-sectional view along line DD in Figure 3, Figure 6 shows an exploded oblique view of the mobile toy, Figure 7 shows an explanatory diagram of the operation of the mobile toy as seen from the side, and Figure 8 shows an explanatory diagram of the operation of the mobile toy as seen from the front.

[0010] 1 to 8 is a toy that descends, for example, on a gentle slope SL (see FIG. 7) of α° (approximately 5°) by its own weight. This mobile toy 10 does not have a power source and moves downward on the slope SL by its own weight.

[0011] The mobile toy 10 has a hollow main body 20. The main body 20 has a first main body 21 formed in a roughly bowl shape from a resin material such as plastic, and a second main body 22 formed in a roughly bowl shape from a resin material such as plastic like the first main body 21. By butting the first and second main bodies 21 and 22 together, the main body 20 is formed in a roughly spherical shape.

[0012] The first body 21 is disposed on the moving direction side of the movable toy 10, i.e., forward in the moving direction. In contrast, the second body 22 is disposed on the opposite side of the moving direction side of the movable toy 10, i.e., backward in the moving direction. A character's face FC is provided on the outer surface of the first body 21 by printing or the like. That is, the character's face FC is provided on the moving direction side of the main body 20.

[0013] 5 and 6, the first main body 21 is provided with a total of three engaging protrusions 21a (only one is shown in FIG. 5 and only two in FIG. 6). In contrast, the second main body 22 is provided with a total of three engaging recesses 22a (only one is shown in FIG. 5). The first and second main bodies 21 and 22 are assembled together by inserting the engaging protrusions 21a into the engaging recesses 22a, respectively.

[0014] Here, an adhesive (not shown) is applied between the first and second main bodies 21 and 22. This prevents the first and second main bodies 21 and 22 from easily coming apart from each other.

[0015] 5, a partition wall 20a is provided inside the main body 20. This partition wall 20a is composed of a first partition wall 21b that forms the first main body 21 and a second partition wall 22b that forms the second main body 22. The partition wall 20a divides the inside of the main body 20 into a hollow chamber 20b on the side away from the inclined surface SL and a roller mechanism accommodating chamber 20c on the side closer to the inclined surface SL.

[0016] This prevents foreign matter such as dust from entering from the roller mechanism housing chamber 20c side (outside) to the hollow chamber 20b side (inside), thereby maintaining a clean state of the moving toy 10. The roller mechanism housing chamber 20c houses the roller mechanism 30.

[0017] Furthermore, a first screw hole (internal thread) 21c is provided in the first body 21 arranged in the front in the movement direction of the movable toy 10. On the other hand, a second screw hole (internal thread) 22c is provided in the second body 22 arranged in the rear in the movement direction of the movable toy 10. Fixing screws (external threads) SC are screwed into these first and second screw holes 21c, 22c, respectively. As a result, the roller mechanism 30 is fixed to both the first and second bodies 21, 22 that form the body 20.

[0018] In the above description, the first body 21 is arranged in the front in the moving direction and the second body 22 is arranged in the rear in the moving direction, but even if the second body 22 is arranged in the front in the moving direction and the first body 21 is arranged in the rear in the moving direction, the moving toy 10 can still move downward on the inclined surface SL. Therefore, the character's face FC can also be provided on the outer surface of the second body 22. In other words, the character's face FC can also be provided on the side opposite to the moving direction of the main body 20. Furthermore, the character's face FC can also be provided on the outer surfaces of both the first and second bodies 21, 22.

[0019] The roller mechanism 30 housed in the roller mechanism housing chamber 20c moves the main body 20, which is made up of the first and second main bodies 21, 22, along the inclined surface SL while swaying back and forth and left and right (see FIGS. 7 and 8). In other words, the roller mechanism 30 is a functional component necessary to improve the entertainment value of the mobile toy 10.

[0020] Because the roller mechanism 30 is housed in the roller mechanism housing chamber 20c, the portion of the movable toy 10 closer to the inclined surface SL is heavier. Therefore, as shown in Fig. 5, the center of gravity G of the movable toy 10 is located closer to the partition wall 20a (closer to the roller mechanism 30 and closer to the inclined surface SL) than to the center of the main body 20. The center of gravity G of the movable toy 10 moves back and forth and left and right, allowing it to move downward on the inclined surface SL in an entertaining manner.

[0021] The roller mechanism 30 includes a base member 31 formed in a substantially disk shape from a resin material such as plastic. The base member 31 corresponds to the opposing member of the present invention, and is provided on the main body 20 and faces the inclined surface SL.

[0022] A roller support portion 31a is provided in the center of the base member 31. Furthermore, a first recessed portion 31b and a second recessed portion 31c are provided on both sides of the roller support portion 31a, each recessed in the axial direction of the base member 31 relative to the roller support portion 31a. In other words, the thickness of the roller support portion 31a is greater than the depth of the first recessed portion 31b and the second recessed portion 31c.

[0023] Here, as shown in Figure 6, when the line segment extending in the movement direction of the movable toy 10 is defined as the first line segment LN1 and the line segment perpendicular to the first line segment LN1 is defined as the second line segment LN2, the longitudinal direction of the roller support portion 31a coincides with the extension direction of the second line segment LN2.

[0024] The roller support portion 31a is provided with a roller accommodating hole 31d formed in a substantially elliptical shape. The longitudinal direction of this roller accommodating hole 31d also coincides with the extension direction of the second line segment LN2, and the roller accommodating hole 31d penetrates the base member 31 in the thickness direction.

[0025] The roller support portion 31a is provided with a pair of shaft holes 31e extending in the direction of extension of the second line segment LN2. Both longitudinal ends of a rotating shaft 32 made of a round steel rod are inserted into the pair of shaft holes 31e. The rotating shaft 32 rotatably supports a barrel-shaped roller 33, thereby allowing the barrel-shaped roller 33 to rotate clockwise and counterclockwise as shown in FIG. 5 inside the roller accommodating hole 31d.

[0026] The barrel-shaped roller 33 housed in the roller housing hole 31d is made of a resin material such as plastic and is formed into a generally barrel shape. Specifically, the barrel-shaped roller 33 is formed in a shape in which the diameter gradually decreases from the center in the longitudinal direction toward both ends in the longitudinal direction. In other words, as shown in FIG. 4, the center in the longitudinal direction of the barrel-shaped roller 33 has a diameter dimension d1, and both ends in the longitudinal direction of the barrel-shaped roller 33 have a diameter dimension d2 that is smaller than the diameter dimension d1 (d2 <d1)。

[0027] Here, the barrel-shaped roller 33 corresponds to the rotating body in the present invention. The barrel-shaped roller 33 rotates around a rotation shaft 32 provided on the base member 31, and is capable of rolling smoothly on the inclined surface SL.

[0028] Furthermore, a plurality of recesses 33a are provided on the outer peripheral surface of the barrel-shaped roller 33. These recesses 33a extend in the circumferential direction of the barrel-shaped roller 33 and are arranged side by side in the axial direction of the barrel-shaped roller 33.

[0029] In this way, by extending the multiple recesses 33a in the circumferential direction of the barrel-shaped roller 33, the barrel-shaped roller 33 can roll smoothly without rattle even on the gently sloping surface SL. If the barrel-shaped roller 33 were provided with multiple recesses extending in the axial direction, the barrel-shaped roller 33 would roll on the sloping surface SL with rattle, and the mobile toy 10 might stop on the sloping surface SL.

[0030] Furthermore, the multiple recesses 33a function as so-called "material removal areas" when molding the barrel-shaped roller 33. That is, the multiple recesses 33a effectively prevent sink marks, voids, and the like from occurring in the barrel-shaped roller 33 when the barrel-shaped roller 33 is hardened after being injection molded. This prevents distortion from occurring when molding the barrel-shaped roller 33, and ultimately makes it possible to achieve a barrel-shaped roller 33 with high dimensional accuracy.

[0031] Furthermore, by making the barrel-shaped rollers 33 out of plastic and providing them with multiple recesses 33a, the weight of the barrel-shaped rollers 33 is reduced, and the frictional force of the barrel-shaped rollers 33 against the inclined surface SL is also reduced. Therefore, the barrel-shaped rollers 33 do not increase the resistance to the movement of the movable toy 10 against the inclined surface SL. This allows the movable toy 10 to move smoothly on the inclined surface SL.

[0032] 4, the outer peripheral surface of the barrel-shaped roller 33 is arc-shaped with a relatively large radius of curvature R. Specifically, the radius of curvature R of the outer peripheral surface of the barrel-shaped roller 33 is larger than the radius of curvature (not shown) of the outer peripheral surface of the substantially spherical main body 20.

[0033] 8, the movable toy 10 moves downward on the inclined surface SL under its own weight while swaying left and right on the inclined surface SL. This increases the entertainment value of the movable toy 10.

[0034] 5 and 6, the first recess 31b and the second recess 31c are each provided with a screw insertion hole 31f that penetrates through the first recess 31b and the second recess 31c in the thickness direction of the first recess 31b and the second recess 31c. Fixing screws SC are inserted into the pair of screw insertion holes 31f, respectively. As a result, the roller mechanism 30 is fixed to the main body 20 while being housed in the roller mechanism housing chamber 20c.

[0035] The head of the fixing screw SC also fits into the screw insertion hole 31f, which allows the first synthetic rubber 34a and the second synthetic rubber 34b, which are formed in a flat plate shape, to be attached to the first recessed portion 31b and the second recessed portion 31c, respectively.

[0036] The first recessed portion 31b and the second recessed portion 31c have the same crescent shape. A crescent-shaped first synthetic rubber 34a and a second synthetic rubber 34b made of silicone or the like are attached to the first recessed portion 31b and the second recessed portion 31c, respectively. The first synthetic rubber 34a and the second synthetic rubber 34b are also formed to the same shape. In this embodiment, the first recessed portion 31b and the second recessed portion 31c, and the first synthetic rubber 34a and the second synthetic rubber 34b, which are formed to the same shape, do not necessarily have to be the same. They do not have to be the same as long as they can realize the forward and backward swinging of the movable toy 10 on the inclined surface SL (described later). The first synthetic rubber 34a is attached to the first recessed portion 31b at the front of the base member 31 in the moving direction, and the second synthetic rubber 34b is attached to the second recessed portion 31c at the rear of the base member 31 in the moving direction. The first synthetic rubber 34a and the second synthetic rubber 34b are fixed to the first recessed portion 31b and the second recessed portion 31c, respectively, with double-sided tape or the like (not shown).

[0037] 5, the first synthetic rubber 34a and the second synthetic rubber 34b slightly protrude from the base member 31 toward the inclined surface SL (downward in the figure, in the direction away from the surface of the base member 31 that faces the inclined surface). Therefore, the first synthetic rubber 34a and the second synthetic rubber 34b can come into contact with the inclined surface SL as the movable toy 10 moves on the inclined surface SL.

[0038] Here, the first synthetic rubber 34a corresponds to the first contact member in the present invention, and is provided on the moving direction side of the base member 31. In contrast, the second synthetic rubber 34b corresponds to the second contact member in the present invention, and is provided on the opposite side of the moving direction side of the base member 31, with the barrel-shaped roller 33 as the center. In this way, the first synthetic rubber 34a and the second synthetic rubber 34b are arranged in mirror symmetry on both sides of the barrel-shaped roller 33 in the moving direction of the movable toy 10 (see FIG. 3).

[0039] 5, the barrel-shaped roller 33 protrudes further from the base member 31 than the first synthetic rubber 34a and the second synthetic rubber 34b. Specifically, the barrel-shaped roller 33 protrudes further than the first synthetic rubber 34a and the second synthetic rubber 34b by an amount equal to a height dimension H (for example, approximately 2.0 mm).

[0040] This allows the first synthetic rubber 34a and the second synthetic rubber 34b to come into contact with the inclined surface SL as the movable toy 10 swings back and forth on the inclined surface SL (see FIG. 7).

[0041] Here, the first synthetic rubber 34a and the second synthetic rubber 34b are made of rubber such as silicone, and the barrel-shaped roller 33 is made of plastic. Therefore, the frictional force of the first synthetic rubber 34a and the second synthetic rubber 34b against the inclined surface SL is greater than the frictional force of the barrel-shaped roller 33 against the inclined surface SL. In other words, the first synthetic rubber 34a and the second synthetic rubber 34b are less likely to slip on the inclined surface SL than the barrel-shaped roller 33.

[0042] As a result, the movable toy 10 descends the inclined surface SL, and when the first synthetic rubber 34a comes into contact with the inclined surface SL, the brakes are applied. Then, because the inclined surface SL has a gentle angle (α°), the second synthetic rubber 34b comes into contact with the inclined surface SL in reaction. Thereafter, as the barrel-shaped rollers 33 rotate, the movable toy 10 descends the inclined surface SL, and the center of gravity G moves forward in the direction of movement. As a result, the first synthetic rubber 34a comes into contact with the inclined surface SL again. This series of movements of the movable toy 10 (swaying back and forth) is repeated on the inclined surface SL (see FIG. 7).

[0043] In other words, while moving on the inclined surface SL, the mobile toy 10 can be in a first state (forward leaning posture) in which the barrel-shaped roller 33 and the first synthetic rubber 34a are in contact with the inclined surface SL and the second synthetic rubber 34b is separated from the inclined surface SL, and a second state (backward leaning posture) in which the barrel-shaped roller 33 and the second synthetic rubber 34b are in contact with the inclined surface SL and the first synthetic rubber 34a is separated from the inclined surface SL.

[0044] Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3, when the moving toy 10 is viewed from the base member 31 side (bottom side), in the axial direction of the rotation shaft 32, the length dimension L1 of the barrel-shaped roller 33 is shorter than the length dimensions L2 of the first synthetic rubber 34a and the second synthetic rubber 34b (L1 < L2). Also, at the portion of the roller support portion 31a of the base member 31 and on both longitudinal sides of the barrel-shaped roller 33, a synthetic rubber non-installed portion (contact member non-installed portion) SP where the first synthetic rubber 34a and the second synthetic rubber 34b are not installed is provided. That is, the first synthetic rubber 34a and the second synthetic rubber 34b are arranged to be separated from each other with the barrel-shaped roller 33 as the center. Also, since the synthetic rubber non-installed portion SP is an area where the first synthetic rubber 34a and the second synthetic rubber 34b are not installed in a protruding state, the distance from the inclined surface SL becomes large on the opposing surface of the base member 31 facing the inclined surface, and it becomes an area where contact with the inclined surface SL is prevented or suppressed.

[0045] As a result, as the moving toy 10 swings left and right on the inclined surface SL (see FIG. 8), the right end portions and the left end portions of the first synthetic rubber 34a and the second synthetic rubber 34b individually contact the inclined surface SL, and thus the moving toy 10 descends while meandering in the left and right directions in small increments on the inclined surface SL. Therefore, the interestingness of the moving toy 10 is also improved by this. Also, by providing the synthetic rubber non-installed portion (contact member non-installed portion) SP, generation of frictional force in a direction perpendicular to the moving direction can be suppressed, and it is possible to suppress the movement from being stopped by the frictional force.

[0046] Also, as shown in FIG. 3, the first synthetic rubber 34a and the second synthetic rubber 34b are each formed in a crescent shape, and the width dimension w1 at the central portion in the longitudinal direction of the first synthetic rubber 34a and the second synthetic rubber 34b is larger than the width dimensions w2 on both longitudinal sides (w1 > w2). That is, the central portion in the longitudinal direction of the first synthetic rubber 34a and the second synthetic rubber 34b is wider than both longitudinal sides.

[0047] Because the movable toy 10 swings back and forth on the inclined surface SL (see FIG. 7), the first synthetic rubber 34a at the front in the direction of movement is particularly susceptible to wear at its longitudinal center and at the front in the direction of movement (the shaded portion in FIG. 3). Therefore, the width w1 of the longitudinal center of the first synthetic rubber 34a is made larger than the width w2 of both longitudinal sides, so that the portion of the longitudinal center of the first synthetic rubber 34a near the barrel-shaped roller 33 can also come into contact with the inclined surface SL, allowing the first synthetic rubber 34a to function for a long period of time.

[0048] Therefore, the movable toy 10 can swing back and forth for a long period of time on the inclined surface SL. When the second body 22 is disposed forward in the moving direction, the same applies to the second synthetic rubber 34b. Next, the operation of the movable toy 10 configured as above will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0049] First, as shown in operation (1) of Figure 7, the movable toy 10 is placed on the inclined surface SL with the first body 21, on which the character's face FC is provided, facing forward in the direction of movement. Then, the barrel-shaped rollers 33 rotate, and the center of gravity G of the movable toy 10 moves toward the direction of movement. Then, the movable toy 10 tilts forward as indicated by the dashed arrow R1. As a result, with the barrel-shaped rollers 33 in contact with the inclined surface SL, the first synthetic rubber 34a contacts the inclined surface SL, applying a brake (first state). At this time, the second synthetic rubber 34b is separated from the inclined surface SL.

[0050] Then, as shown in operation (2) in Figure 7, the movable toy 10 tilts backward as indicated by the dashed arrow R2. In other words, the center of gravity G moves to the side opposite the direction of movement. Therefore, with the barrel-shaped roller 33 in contact with the inclined surface SL, the second synthetic rubber 34b comes into contact with the inclined surface SL (second state). At this time, the first synthetic rubber 34a is separated from the inclined surface SL.

[0051] Subsequently, the center of gravity G of the movable toy 10 moves forward in the direction of movement, the barrel-shaped rollers 33 rotate, and the movable toy 10 descends the inclined surface SL under its own weight. Then, the movable toy 10 assumes a forward-leaning posture as shown in action (3) of Figure 7 (the same state as action (1)). After action (3) of Figure 7, the movable toy 10 assumes a backward-leaning posture as shown in action (4) of Figure 7 (the same state as action (2)).

[0052] As shown in Fig. 7, the period from the state of action (1) to the state of action (3) corresponds to "one cycle" of the swinging motion of the movable toy 10 in the forward and backward directions. In Fig. 7, for the sake of convenience, the "one cycle" of the swinging motion of the movable toy 10 is expressed as a long "cycle" as shown by a solid arrow to make it easier to understand. However, in reality, the "one cycle" of the swinging motion of the movable toy 10 is an extremely short movement distance of about several millimeters.

[0053] In this way, the movable toy 10 placed on the inclined surface SL moves downward on the inclined surface SL by its own weight in an interesting manner while repeatedly swaying back and forth as shown in actions (1) to (4). In other words, the movable toy 10 moves downward on the inclined surface SL by alternately repeating a first state in which it is inclined forward and a second state in which it is inclined backward.

[0054] 8, if the inclined surface SL is inclined to the right or left in the moving direction, the movable toy 10 also sways left and right as shown in actions (5) and (6). That is, the movable toy 10 performs an even more interesting action, as if it adds a left and right swinging motion to the forward and backward swinging motion.

[0055] Specifically, when the inclined surface SL is tilted to the right in the direction of movement, the movable toy 10 tilts to the right as indicated by the dashed arrow R3, as shown in action (5). In other words, the center of gravity G moves to the right in the direction of movement. Conversely, when the inclined surface SL is tilted to the left in the direction of movement, the movable toy 10 tilts to the left as indicated by the dashed arrow R4, as shown in action (6). In other words, the center of gravity G moves to the left in the direction of movement.

[0056] Furthermore, even if the inclined surface SL is not tilted to the right or left in the direction of movement, the barrel-shaped rollers 33 are formed in a shape that gradually reduces in diameter from the center in the longitudinal direction toward both ends in the longitudinal direction, making it easy for the center of gravity G of the movable toy 10 to move to the right or left in the direction of movement. Therefore, even if the inclined surface SL is not tilted to the right or left in the direction of movement, when the first synthetic rubber 34a and the second synthetic rubber 34b come into contact with the inclined surface SL, the movable toy 10 performs an interesting movement that adds a left-right swinging movement to the forward-backward swinging movement as described above.

[0057] In this way, the movable toy 10 moves downward on the inclined surface SL while swaying back and forth and left and right due to the function of the roller mechanism 30. However, depending on the shape (concave or convex) of the inclined surface SL, the angle of the inclined surface SL, and even the material of the inclined surface SL (differences in the coefficient of friction), the movable toy 10 may perform a more complex swinging motion.

[0058] For example, the second synthetic rubber 34b at the rear of the movement direction does not come into contact with the inclined surface SL, and only the first synthetic rubber 34a at the front of the movement direction repeatedly comes into contact with and separates from the inclined surface SL, causing it to vibrate slightly, and the rotation of the barrel-shaped roller 33 can cause the inclined surface SL to descend.

[0059] As described above in detail, according to this embodiment, it is possible to move along the inclined surface SL with an interesting movement, and the structure can be simplified by using the barrel-shaped roller 33 and the first synthetic rubber 34a and second synthetic rubber 34b.

[0060] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and it goes without saying that various modifications are possible without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the first synthetic rubber 34a and the second synthetic rubber 34b are both made of the same material (such as silicone), but the present invention is not limited to this, and the first synthetic rubber 34a and the second synthetic rubber 34b may each be made of a material that has a different friction force with respect to the inclined surface SL.

[0061] Furthermore, the material, shape, dimensions, number, installation location, etc. of each component in the above-described embodiments are arbitrary as long as they can achieve the present invention, and are not limited to the above-described embodiments. [Explanation of symbols]
