[0005] The present invention relates to a new three-tiered mechanism in which two or three tiers of rotors are inserted in sequence into the rotor inserted into the core rod. [Background technology]
[0006] In previous literature, tops were described as having a core rod and a rotating body that were one piece, or a core rod that was pressed into the rotating body, and a bearing that connected the rotating body and core rod. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0007] The spinning top mechanism has a core 1 and a rotating body 11 separated, the core 1 and the rotating body 11 are in contact with each other, the rotating body 11 can be inserted into and removed from the core 1, and sufficient spinning performance can still be obtained. [Means for solving the problem]
[0008] The core rod 1 and the rotor 11 are separated, and an insertion hole 9 is provided in the center of the rotor 11, which has a rotational contact with the core rod 1 and also a contact structure that includes rotation between the rotating seat 14 at the bottom of the rotor 11 and the retaining seat 2 at the bottom of the core rod 1, making it possible to insert and remove the rotor 11 from the core rod 1.
[0009] A cylindrical thread winding section 10 mechanism having a thread winding width for winding a thread 15 for rotating the rotating body 11 is provided on the upper part of the rotating body 11 to rotate the rotating body 11 strongly.
[0010] A retaining seat 2 with a retaining pin 7 pressed into a pin hole 8 at the bottom of the core rod 1 is provided, and a rotating seat 14 is received at the bottom of the rotating body 11. The retaining seat 2 has a grounding end 6 at its lower convex part, and a gripping part 4 at its upper convex part.
[0011] The rotor 11 is removed from the core rod 1, and an interchangeable rotor 20 having a different external design and a particularly light mass (weight) is inserted, and an escape groove 21 is provided in the center of the insertion hole 9 of the interchangeable rotor 20.
[0012] The rotating body 11 is inserted into the core rod 1, and then the stacked rotating body A23 and stacked rotating body B26 are inserted in two and three stages in order to make a three-stage top. Wax coating The mechanism is set up as part 5. [Effects of the Invention]
[0013] The spinning top's core 1 and rotating body 11 are separated, the gripping part 4 of the core 1 is grasped, the rotation string 15 is wound around the thread winding part 10 of the rotating body 11, the rotation string 15 is pulled in the direction perpendicular to the core 1 to rotate only the rotating body 11, and the gripping part 4 is released on the palm 18, and the core 1 also rotates due to the rotation resistance of the rotating body 11, allowing children to play with the spinning top on the palm 18.
[0014] The stop seat 2 of the core rod 1 is located at a set position with the rotation seat 14 of the rotating body 11 and also serves as a rotation contact surface, and by pressing the stop pin 7 into the pin hole 8 of the core rod 1, the stop seat 2 with low contact resistance can be set, resulting in good rotation performance and making it possible to easily remove the rotating body 11. Furthermore, an escape groove 21 is provided in the center of the insertion hole 9 of the lightweight dress-up rotating body 20, allowing the insertion of the dress-up rotating body 20 with improved sliding resistance, and allowing children to play with the top in the palm of their hand 18, as before.
[0015] The insertion hole 9 of the core rod 1 and the rotor 11 is a rotary sliding portion, and the upper part of the retaining seat 2 of the core rod 1 Wax coating By applying part 5, the sliding resistance became good and strong rotation was obtained. Therefore, the overlapping rotating bodies A23 and B26 could be inserted in order into the core rod 1 of the top which was spinning strongly on the palm 18, and the three-stage hand-held top play led to a top play that improved the agility and concentration of children.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0017] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0018] As shown in Figure 1, the core rod 1 is made of wood (metal is also acceptable), and the lower pin hole 8 is drilled at a right angle to the core rod 1, and a stop pin 7 is pressed into it. A stop seat 2 with the same convex length formed on both sides of the outer diameter of the core rod 1 is provided. The lower convex part of the stop seat 2 has a downward conical grounding end 6 that comes into contact with the ground, and the upper convex part is a sliding surface between the grip part 4 and the inner surface of the insertion hole 9 of the rotor 11. The outer surface of the core rod 1 is designed to reduce resistance. Wax coating At the very tip, an upwardly facing conical end 3 is provided for ease of insertion when inserting the rotor 11 through the insertion hole 9.
[0019] As shown in Figure 2, the rotating body 11 is made of wood, just like the core rod 1, and an insertion hole 9 is provided in the center of the rotating body 11, through which the core rod 1 is inserted. The inner diameter surface of the insertion hole 9 is the sliding surface against the outer diameter of the core rod 1, forming a rotational gap of approximately 0.3 mm. The insertion hole length 13 is approximately 40 mm, which prevents rotational resistance, rotational wear strength, and tipping of the core rod 1 due to the 0.3 mm diameter gap. The upper cylindrical thread winding section 10 has a winding width set so that a certain amount of thread can be wound in order to ensure rotational force. The lower rotating seat 14 is the contact point with the retaining seat 2 of the core rod 1, and the cylindrical rotating seat 14 is formed to be approximately 3 mm larger on one side than the inner diameter of the insertion hole 9 (approximately 6 mm in diameter) to take into account contact surface strength and contact resistance.
[0020] FIG. 3 shows the rotor 11 and the core rod 1 before insertion, and the arrow indicates how to insert the rotor 11.
[0021] As shown in FIG. 4, when the rotor 11 is inserted up to the retaining seat 2 of the core rod 1, it is in contact with the retaining seat 2 of the core rod 1, and therefore the rotor 11 can be easily removed in the direction of the arrow.
[0022] As shown in Figure 5, the rotation thread 15 is wound around the winding section 10 of the cylindrical part of the rotating body 11. The thread tip 16 of the rotation thread 15 is set in the winding section 10 parallel to the core rod 1, and while using the thread presser 17, the thread is wound around the winding section 10 by pressing down from above the thread tip 16. The thread is wound up to near the upper rotating surface 12 of the winding section 10, the gripping section 4 of the core rod 1 is grasped, the grounding end 6 of the core rod 1 is grounded, and the rotation thread 15 is pulled in the direction perpendicular to the core rod 1, and the core rod 1 Wax coating 1 shows a state in which only the rotor 11 is rotated by the rotational sliding surface between the part 5 and the insertion hole 9 of the rotor 11.
[0023] As shown in Figure 6, when you grasp the handle 4 of the core 1, the core 1 is stationary, but the rotating body 11 rotates in the rotational gap between it and the core 1. In this state, if you move it up onto the palm 18 and release the handle 4 of the core 1, the core 1 and rotating body 11 will start to rotate at almost the same speed, creating a spinning top.
[0024] As shown in Figure 7, when you grab the gripping part 4 of the core 1 again, the core 1 stops, but the rotating body 11 rotates in the rotational gap between it and the core 1. If you move the gripping part 4 to your fingertip 19 and release it, the core 1 and rotating body 11 will start to rotate almost simultaneously on your fingertip 19, creating a top-like state.
[0025] As shown in Figure 8, the rotor 11 is inserted into the core rod 1, and after rotational play, the rotor 11 is removed and an interchangeable rotor 20 with a different external design is inserted. All of the rotation-related parts of the core rod 1 are compatible with the rotor 1, but the difference is that the external shape is Mount Fuji. Because it is light in weight, an escape groove 21 is provided in the center of the insertion hole 9, providing a mechanism for low rotational resistance.
[0026] As shown in Figure 9, after inserting the rotating body 20 into the spindle 1, rotate the rotating body 20 as in Figure 5, then grasp the spindle 1 as in Figure 6, move it onto the palm 18, release the gripping part 4, and the top will spin on the palm of your hand.
[0027] The stacked rotating body A23 shown in Figure 10 has an insertion hole A22 in the center, and the rotation gap with the core rod 1 is set to be the same as that of the rotating body 11.It is stacked on top of the rotating body 11, and since the stacked rotating body A23 rotates above the core rod 1, its outer diameter and weight are smaller and lighter than those of the rotating body 11, and this is a configuration diagram that takes into consideration stability of rotation.
[0028] The stacked rotating body B26 shown in Figure 11 has an insertion hole B25 in the center, the rotation gap with the core rod 1 is set to be the same as that of the rotating body 11, and the stacked rotating body B26 is smaller and lighter than the stacked rotating body A23, and is designed to have stable rotation.
[0029] The three-tiered top shown in Figure 12 is constructed as shown in Figure 6. When stacked rotating body A23 is inserted into the conical end of core 1, the top is rotating, and the rotational force is transmitted from core 1 and rotating body 11, causing it to rotate as a two-tiered top. When stacked rotating body B26 is further inserted, the rotational force is transmitted from core 1 and stacked rotating body A23, and the three-tiered top is completed. [Explanation of symbols]
