[0014] The following describes an embodiment of the spinning top toy set of the present invention.

[0015] Figure 1 is a perspective view of the spinning top toy set 100 according to the embodiment. The spinning top toy set 100 of this embodiment comprises a spinning top toy 1 and a spinning top toy play platform 9 for battling the spinning top toys against each other.

[0016] 《Spinning Top Toy Play Table 9》 Figure 2 is an exploded perspective view of the spinning top toy play platform 9, and Figure 3 is a perspective view of the fastener 97. The spinning top toy play platform 9 is box-shaped and roughly square in plan view, and consists of a base plate 90 that forms the battle field 92 of the spinning top toy 1, a cover body 91 that can be attached to and removed from the base plate 90, and fasteners 97 (see Figure 3) for fixing the cover body 91 to the base plate 90. They are prepared.

[0017] The base plate 90 is roughly square in plan view with one corner missing. The base plate 90 has a predetermined thickness, and its top surface is a bowl-shaped concave surface, the central part of which constitutes the battlefield 92. Two sets of strip-shaped guide members 93 are provided within the concave surface of the base plate 90, extending horizontally to demarcate the battlefield 92. Each set of guide members 93 is formed in a C-shape in plan view, and teeth are formed on its inner surface at equal intervals in the longitudinal direction. The two sets of guide members 93 are installed so that the C-shaped concave portions face each other, and both ends of each set of guide members 93 extend toward the center of the battlefield 92. This allows the spinning top 1 to be accelerated along the guide members 93 and guided to collide with other spinning tops that remain in the center. Furthermore, stepped portions 94 are formed at each of the three corners of the base plate 90. Rectangular holes 94a are formed in the stepped portions 94.

[0018] The cover body 91 is also roughly square in plan view. The cover body 91 has a predetermined thickness and, in plan view, covers the sides and top of the outer periphery of the base plate 90. A circular window 91a is formed on the top surface of the cover body 91, and when mounted on the base plate 90, the battlefield 92 can be directly viewed through this window 91a. Furthermore, the cover body 91 has stepped portions 95 formed in the parts corresponding to the three corners of the base plate 90. Rectangular holes 95a are formed in the stepped portions 95. When the cover body 91 is mounted on the base plate 90, the stepped portions 95 and 94 overlap, and the rectangular holes 95a and 94a align vertically. Of the cover body 91, the corners 96 where the stepped portion 95 is not formed protrude outward and downward from the base plate 90. If a spinning top toy 1 that has been knocked off the base plate 90 during a battle hits one of these corners 96, it will be ejected from the base plate 90.

[0019] Figure 3 is a perspective view of the fastener 97. The fastener 97 consists of a female part 98 and a male part 99. The female fitting 98 has a cylindrical portion 98a, and a flange portion 98b is formed directly above the lower end of the outer circumference of the cylindrical portion 98a. When fixing the cover body 91 to the base plate 90, the flange portion 98b of the female fitting 98 is pressed against the edge of the rectangular hole 95a of the stepped portion 95 from above. The male tool 99 has a structure in which a pair of claws 99b are erected in a recess of a rectangular tray-shaped base 99a. Then, when the male part 99 fixes the cover body 91 to the base plate 90, the edge of the base body 99a is pressed from below against the edge of the rectangular hole 94a of the stepped portion 94, and the claw 99b is inserted from below into the hole of the cylindrical portion 98a of the female part 98 and engages with the upper end of the cylindrical portion 98a. As a result, the cover body 91 is fixed to the base plate 90.

[0020] ≪Spinning Top Toy 1≫ Figure 4 is an exploded perspective view of the spinning top toy 1. This spinning top toy 1 is broadly composed of a body 10 and a shaft 50.

[0021] <Body part 10> The torso 10 is composed of an upper torso 20 and a lower torso 30.

[0022] 1. Upper torso section 20 The upper body portion 20 is constructed as a composite disc. In plan view, the upper body portion 20 is divided between a circular central portion 22 and an annular outer portion 23 by an annular groove 25, and two partially arc-shaped slits 26 are formed at the bottom of the annular groove 25. The two slits 26 are formed at positions that are point-symmetrical with respect to the axis. Furthermore, two L-shaped outward-facing connecting claws 27 are formed on the lower surface of the upper body portion 20. The two connecting claws 27 are positioned so as to be point-symmetric with respect to the axis.

[0023] 2. Lower torso section 30 The lower body portion 30 is constructed as a composite disc. In plan view, the lower body portion 30 is divided between a circular central portion 32 and an annular outer portion 33 by an annular groove 35, and two roughly arc-shaped slits 36 are formed at the bottom of the annular groove 35. The two slits 36 are formed at positions that are point-symmetrical with respect to the axis. The annular groove 35 is wider than the annular groove 25. Furthermore, a connecting claw (not shown) is formed on the outer edge of one end of each slit 36 ​​in the circumferential direction, which engages with the connecting claw 27 of the upper body portion 20 to connect the upper body portion 20 and the lower body portion 30. Also, a fitting projection 37b is formed on the outer edge of the other end of each slit 36 ​​in the circumferential direction, which engages with the fitting recess 53g described later to connect the lower body portion 30 and the shaft portion 50. The two connecting claws (not shown) are positioned point-symmetrically with respect to the axis, and the two fitting projections 37b are positioned point-symmetrically with respect to the axis.

[0024] (Shaft portion 50) Figure 5 is an exploded perspective view of the shaft portion 50 of the spinning top toy 1, viewed from above, and Figure 6 is an exploded perspective view of the shaft portion 50, viewed from below. The rotating shaft 51 comprises a tapered tip 51a in the shape of an inverted frustocone and a shaft body 51b connected to the tip 51a. The upper diameter of the tip 51a is larger than the diameter of the shaft body 51b, and the upper end of the tip 51a protrudes outward in an annular shape from the shaft body 51b. Two D-cut portions 51c are formed at the upper end of the shaft body 51b. The two D-cut portions 51c are positioned so as to be point-symmetric with respect to the axis. The rotating shaft 51 is fixed to the shaft fixing member 55 by the upper end of the shaft body 51b, which is passed from below through the hole 52a of the gear 52, the hole 53a of the cover body 53, and the hole 54a of the claw member 54, being fitted into the fitting hole 55a of the shaft fixing member 55.

[0025] The gear 52 is capable of meshing with the teeth of the guide member 93 and is supported from below by an annular projection at the upper end of the tip 51a of the rotating shaft 51. Multiple meshing claws 52b are formed on the upper end surface of the gear 52 at equal intervals in the circumferential direction.

[0026] The cover body 53 is formed in the shape of a deep round dish, and a hole 53a is formed at the bottom into which the upper end of the gear 52 fits. An outward-facing flange 53b is formed at the upper end of the cover body 53. Two fitting protrusions 53c are formed on the outward-facing flange 53b so as to protrude outward. The two fitting protrusions 53c are positioned point-symmetrically with respect to the axis. A fitting recess 53g is formed in each fitting protrusion 53c. The fitting protrusion 53c then fits into the slit 36 ​​such that the fitting recess 53g and the fitting projection 37b engage. In this way, the shaft portion 50 and the lower body portion 30 are connected. Furthermore, two bosses 53d with screw holes are formed inside the cover body 53. The two bosses 53d are positioned so as to be point-symmetric with respect to the axis. Furthermore, four fitting recesses 53e are formed on the inner surface of the cover body 53 at equal intervals in the circumferential direction, into which the fitting projections 54c described later are fitted.

[0027] The claw member 54 is formed in a disc shape, and multiple meshing claws 54b capable of meshing with the meshing claws 52b of the gear 52 are formed on its lower surface in the circumferential direction. In addition, four fitting projections 54c that protrude outward are formed on the outer circumference of the claw member 54 and are loosely fitted into the fitting recess 53e. The claw member 54 and the meshing claws 52b constitute a meshing clutch. This meshing clutch causes the gear 52 to roll along the guide member 93 in a half-clutch state.

[0028] The shaft fixing member 55 is configured in a cylindrical shape with a top. This shaft fixing member 55 fits inside the cover body 53 and houses the claw member 54 inside between itself and the cover body 53. Four notches 55d are formed in the cylindrical portion 55c below the top plate 55b of the shaft fixing member 55, into which each fitting projection 54c of the claw member 54 fits, allowing the claw member 54 to move up and down within a predetermined range. The outer periphery of the top plate 55b of the shaft fixing member 55 protrudes in an annular shape from the outer periphery of the cylindrical portion 55c. Two arc-shaped notches 55e are formed in this protruding portion. The two notches 55e are positioned so as to be point-symmetric with respect to the axis. Each notch 55e abuts against the outer periphery of the boss 53d. Furthermore, as shown in Figure 7, three cut and bent leaf springs 55f are provided on the top plate 55b of the shaft fixing member 55 at equal intervals in the circumferential direction. These leaf springs 55f press the claw member 54 downward, pressing the engaging claw 54b against the engaging claw 52b.

[0029] A disc-shaped upper plate 57 is provided on top of the shaft fixing member 55. The upper plate 57 forms the upper surface of the shaft portion 50, and a screw insertion hole 57a is formed in the portion corresponding to the boss 53d. The upper plate 57 is then fixed to the cover body 53 by passing the shaft of a male screw (not shown) through the screw insertion hole 57a from above and screwing this male screw into the female screw of the boss 53d.

[0030] <How to assemble the spinning top toy 1> The upper body portion 20 and the lower body portion 30 are butted together from the axial direction, and the connecting claws 27 of the upper body portion 20 are inserted into the slits 36 of the lower body portion 30 from above. Then, the upper body portion 20 is rotated clockwise relative to the lower body portion 30. This engages the connecting claws 27 of the upper body portion 20 with the connecting claws (not shown) of the lower body portion 30, thereby joining the upper body portion 20 and the lower body portion 30. Next, the lower body 30 to which the upper body 20 is attached and the shaft 50 are brought together axially, and the fitting projection 53c is fitted into the slit 36 ​​so that the fitting recess 53g and the fitting projection 37b are fitted together. This connects the shaft 50 and the lower body 30.

[0031] <Rotational biasing force of spinning top toy 1> The spinning top toy 1 is biased to rotate by a launcher (not shown). The launcher comprises a fork that is inserted into a slit 26 in the upper body 20 and a rotation mechanism that rotates the fork. By inserting the fork into the slit 26 in the upper body 20 and rotating the fork with the rotation mechanism, the spinning top toy 1 is biased to rotate. The spinning top toy 1 is then released from the launcher.

[0032] <Operation> When the spinning top toy 1 is released onto the battlefield 92, it moves around due to the recoil in the opposite direction to its rotation. At this time, the gear 52 rotates together with the rotation axis 51. This movement causes the gear 52 of the spinning top toy 1 to strike the guide member 93. The impact force at this time causes the gear 52 to rotate relative to the rotation axis 51 against the biasing force of the leaf spring 55f, mitigating the impact. This makes it easier for the spinning top toy 1 to temporarily stay near the guide member 93, increasing the probability that the gear 52 will mesh with the teeth of the guide member 93. Then, as shown in Figure 8, when the gear 52 and the teeth of the guide member 93 mesh, the spinning top toy 1 moves along the guide member 93 in a semi-clutch state, rotating the gear 52 in conjunction with the rotation of the rotation axis 51, accelerating the movement of the spinning top toy 1. In other words, the rotation of the spinning top toy 1 is more easily transmitted to the guide member 9, accelerating the movement of the spinning top toy 1.

[0033] ≪Other shaft parts 50A≫ Figure 9 is a perspective view of the other shaft portion 50A, Figure 10 is an exploded perspective view of the other shaft portion 50A viewed from above, and Figure 11 is an exploded perspective view of the other shaft portion 50A viewed from below. Note that in the shaft portion 50A, parts corresponding to the components of the shaft portion 50 are given the same reference numerals, and their descriptions are omitted as appropriate. ru.

[0034] The main difference between this shaft portion 50A and the shaft portion 50 is that, in shaft portion 50, the pressing of the engagement claw 54b against the engagement claw 52b is performed by a leaf spring 55f, whereas in shaft portion 50A, the pressing of the engagement claw 54b against the engagement claw 52b is performed by a coil spring 62.

[0035] To achieve this configuration, a pressing plate 61 is provided between the claw member 54 and the shaft fixing member 55 in the shaft portion 50A. The pressing plate 61 is disc-shaped, with a hole 61a in the center through which the shaft body 51b of the rotating shaft 51 is inserted. Guide rods 61b are erected on the upper surface of the pressing plate 61 at point-symmetrical positions with respect to the axis, and these guide rods 61b are inserted into the guide hole 55g of the shaft fixing member 55 and the guide hole 57b of the upper plate 57. Coil springs 62 are wound around each guide rod 61b, and the pressing plate 61 biases the claw member 54 toward the gear 52. A part is provided that presses down on the guide rods 61b from above and restricts the upward movement of the claw member 54, allowing the strength of the engagement clutch between the claw member 54 and the engaging claw 54b to be adjusted. Furthermore, the pressing plate 61 has two notches 61c formed therein. The two notches 61c are positioned so as to be point-symmetric with respect to the axis. Each notch 61c abuts against the outer circumference of the boss 53d.

[0036] In addition, this shaft portion 50A differs from the shaft portion 50 in some minor details, such as the presence of a fitting projection 53c and a screw insertion hole 55h on the shaft fixing member 55, but it is generally the same structure. A spinning top toy having the shaft portion 50A configured in this way will produce the same functions and effects as spinning top toy 1.

[0037] 《Other spinning top toys 1A》 Figure 12 is a perspective view of another spinning top toy 1A, Figure 13 is an exploded perspective view of another spinning top toy 1A viewed from above, and Figure 14 is an exploded perspective view of another spinning top toy 1A viewed from below.

[0038] The rotating shaft 71 of this spinning top toy 1A comprises a cylindrical, large-diameter shaft end 71a and a shaft body 71b connected to the shaft end 71a. Two D-cut portions 71c are formed at the upper end of the shaft body 71b. The two D-cut portions 71c are positioned so as to be point-symmetric with respect to the axis. The shaft body 71b of the rotating shaft 71 is passed from below through the hole 72a of the gear 72 and the hole 73a of the cover body 73, and its upper end is fitted into the fitting hole 74i on the lower surface of the shaft fixing member 74.

[0039] An engagement portion 72b, consisting of a wave-shaped uneven surface formed over the entire circumference, is formed on the outer circumference of the upper end of the gear 72. Furthermore, a cylindrical portion is erected within the upper recess of the gear 72, and this cylindrical portion forms a fitting recess 72c.

[0040] The cover body 73 is formed in the shape of a deep, round dish. An outward-facing flange 73b is formed at the upper end of the cover body 73. Furthermore, two bosses 73c are provided inside the cover body 73. The two bosses 73c are positioned so as to be point-symmetric with respect to the axis. A screw insertion hole 73d is formed in each boss 73c. Furthermore, an arc-shaped notch 73e is formed on the outer side of each boss 73 at the inner end portion of the outward flange 73b. Furthermore, additional notches 73f are formed on the inner end portion of the outward-facing flange 73b, at a 90-degree angle in the circumferential direction from each of the notches 73d. Each notch 73f extends across the portion below the outward-facing flange 73b. The two notches 73f are positioned point-symmetrically with respect to the axis.

[0041] The shaft fixing member 74 is plate-shaped and includes a base 74b that is substantially rectangular in plan view. On the outside of the base body 74b, two tongue-shaped pieces 74c are attached corresponding to each notch 73e, and two belt-shaped elastic pieces 74d are attached, with both ends connected to each tongue-shaped piece 74c. A screw insertion hole 74e is formed in each tongue-shaped piece 74c. In addition, an engaging projection 74f is formed in the longitudinal center of the inner surface of each elastic piece 74d. These elastic pieces 74d and the engaging portion 72b constitute a mechanical clutch. This mechanical clutch causes the gear 72 to roll along the guide member 93 in a partially clutched state. Furthermore, a fitting projection 74h is formed on the lower surface of the base body 74b, which fits inside the fitting recess 72c, and a fitting hole 74i is formed in this fitting projection 74h into which the upper end of the shaft body 71b of the rotating shaft 71 fits. Furthermore, a circular recess 74g is formed on the upper surface of the base body 74b, and a counterbore hole 74j is formed in the center of the recess. The shaft of a male screw (not shown) is passed through the counterbore hole 74j from above, and this male screw is screwed into a female screw (not shown) on the shaft body 51b of the rotating shaft 51.

[0042] The disc 75 fits into the circular recess 74g on the upper surface of the base 74a. Furthermore, the cover 76, which is provided on the disc 75, is formed in a substantially disc shape. The cover 76 is provided with two bosses 76a with screw holes corresponding to each of the bosses 73c, and has two notches 76b corresponding to each of the notches 73f. A male screw (not shown) is passed from below through the screw insertion hole 73d of the cover body 73 and the screw insertion hole 74e of the shaft fixing member 74 and is screwed into the female screw (not shown) of the boss 76a. When this cover 76 is attached to the cover body 73, a predetermined gap is formed between the notches 76b and 73f.

[0043] The upper plate 77 is formed in a disc shape, and a roughly hexagonal protrusion 77a is formed in the center of the upper surface when viewed from above. A hole 77b with a female thread is formed in the center of the protrusion 77a, and a bolt 78 is screwed into the female thread. Furthermore, two L-shaped outward-facing claws 77c are formed on the lower surface of the upper plate 77, corresponding to each of the notches 76b. The two outward-facing claws 77c are positioned so as to be point-symmetric with respect to the axis. A contact projection 77d is formed on the inside of each outward-facing claw 77c. The upper plate 77 is attached to the cover body 73 by inserting the outward-facing claws 77c into the gap between the notches 76b and 73f, and by engaging the outward-facing claws 77c with the edge of the notch 73f.

[0044] Figures 15(A) to (C) show three upper plates 77A, 77B, and 77C in which the formation positions of the contact projection 77d relative to the outward-facing claw 77c are different from each other. The three upper plates 77A, 77B, and 77C have different formation positions for the contact projections 77d in the circumferential direction. Furthermore, the lengths of the contact projections 77d on the upper plates 77A, 77B, and 77C are also different so that the contact projection 77d of the upper plate 77 contacts the elastic piece 74d of the shaft fixing member 74, and the engaging projection 74f of the elastic piece 74d reliably engages with the engaging portion 72b of the gear 72. These three upper plates 77A, 77B, and 77C are interchangeable. By replacing these upper plates 77A, 77B, and 77C, the contact position between the contact projection 77d and the elastic piece 74d can be changed.

[0045] Figure 16 shows the relationship between the engaging projection 74f and the engaging portion 72b when the upper plate 77A is used. As shown in the figure, the contact projection 77d of the upper plate 77A contacts the elastic piece 74d of the shaft fixing member 74, causing the engaging projection 74f of the elastic piece 74d to engage with the engaging portion 72b of the gear 72. In this case, if the contact position between the contact projection 77c and the elastic piece 74d is changed, the pressing force of the engaging projection 74f against the engaging portion 72b changes. Therefore, by changing the upper plates 77A, 77B, and 77C, the operating timing of the mechanical clutch can be changed, and the movement characteristics of the spinning top toy 1A can be changed. In other words, when using a contact member 77A in which a contact projection (contact portion) 77d is formed at a relatively far distance from the engaging projection 74f, the elastic piece 74d is easily deformed, making it easier for the teeth of the gear 72 and the teeth of the guide member 93 to mesh. When using a contact member 77C in which a contact projection (contact portion) 77d is formed at a relatively close distance from the engaging projection 74f, meshing is difficult, but after the teeth of the gear 72 and the teeth of the guide member 93 mesh, it becomes easier to increase the rotational speed of the spinning top toy 1A.

[0046] This spinning top toy 1A is rotationally biased by a launcher different from the launcher that biases the spinning top toy 1, and produces the same action and effect as the spinning top toy 1.

[0047] <Modified shaft section 50B> Figure 17 is a perspective view of a modified shaft portion 50B, Figure 18 is an exploded perspective view of the shaft portion 50B viewed from above, and Figure 19 is an exploded perspective view of the shaft portion 50B viewed from below. In this modified example, the shaft portion 50B comprises a shaft body 81a and a shaft end member 81b. The shaft body 81a is cylindrical and has a large diameter, and an outward-facing flange 81c is formed at its lower end. The lower end portion of the outward-facing flange 81c has a fitting portion 81d with irregularities formed on its outer surface. On the other hand, a small cylindrical projection 81e is formed on the lower part of the shaft end member 81b, which serves as a contact point, and the part above it is a large-diameter bottomed cylindrical portion 81f. The fitting portion 81d of the shaft body 81a is fitted into the recess of this bottomed cylindrical portion 81f.

[0048] An annular gear 82 is fitted onto the shaft body 81a from above. Two threaded bosses 81e are formed on the upper surface of the shaft body 81a. The two bosses 81e are positioned point-symmetrically with respect to the axis. A friction clutch is formed between the shaft body 81a and the annular gear 82. This friction clutch causes the annular gear 82 to roll along the guide member 93 in a partially clutched state. The recess formed on the outer circumference of the shaft body 81a is for adjusting the operating timing of the friction clutch. Furthermore, a cylindrical shaft fixing member 83 is placed over the shaft body 81a. The annular gear 82 is then clamped between the lower end of the shaft fixing member 83 and the outward-facing flange 81c. Furthermore, a roughly hexagonal protrusion 83b is formed on the shaft fixing member 83, and a female screw 83d is formed in the central hole 83f of this protrusion 83b. In addition, two counterbore holes 83g are formed on the outside of the central hole 83f, corresponding to each of the bosses 81e. The shaft fixing member 83 is then assembled to the rotating shaft 81 by screwing a male screw (not shown) through the counterbore holes 83g into the bosses 81e with screw holes.

[0049] This shaft portion 50B is connected to a body portion (not shown) by, for example, a male thread (not shown) that screws into a female thread 83d. A spinning top toy having the shaft portion 50B configured in this way will produce the same action and effect as spinning top toy 1.

[0050] 《Modified Spinning Top Toy 1B》 Figure 20 is an exploded perspective view of spinning top toy 1B, a modified version of spinning top toy 1, and Figure 21 is a spinning top toy. Figure 22 is an exploded perspective view of the shaft portion of 1B viewed from above, and Figure 23 is an exploded perspective view of the shaft portion 50C viewed from below. The parts indicated by the reference numerals in these figures are the same as those indicated by the reference numerals in Figures 4, 5, and 6, so their explanations will be omitted as appropriate.

[0051] The difference between this spinning top toy 1B and the spinning top toy 1 is that it has a roller 52C instead of a gear 52. The outer surface of the roller 52C is made of a material with high frictional resistance, such as rubber, a file-like material, a brush-like material, cloth, Velcro (registered trademark), or adhesive material.

[0052] This spinning top toy 1B is particularly effective on the spinning top toy play table 9B shown in Figure 23. In this case, the guide surface of the guide member 93B of the spinning top toy play table 9B is preferably made of a material with high frictional resistance, such as rubber, a file-like material, a brush-like material, cloth, Velcro, or an adhesive material.

[0053] When the spinning top toy 1B is released onto the battlefield 92, it moves around due to the recoil in the opposite direction to its rotation. At this time, the roller 52C rotates together with the rotation axis 51. As a result of this movement, the roller 52C of the spinning top toy 1B strikes the guide member 93B. Due to the impact force at this time, the roller 52C rotates relative to the rotation axis 51 against the biasing force of the leaf spring 55f (see Figure 7), mitigating the impact. This makes it easier for the roller 52C to contact the guide member 93B, and the frictional resistance of the roller 52C suppresses sliding. In a semi-clutch state, the roller 52C rotates along with the rotation of the rotation axis 51, moving along the guide member 93B and accelerating the movement of the spinning top toy 1B. In other words, the rotation of the spinning top toy 1B is more easily transmitted to the guide member 93B, allowing the movement of the spinning top toy 1B to be accelerated.

[0054] <<Other variations>> In the above embodiment, the guide member 93 is fixed to the spinning top toy play stand 9, but the guide member 93 may be separate from the spinning top toy play stand 9, so that the player can directly hold the guide member 93 in their hand and bring it closer to the spinning top to use it.

[0055] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, one gear that meshes with the teeth of the guide member is provided on the rotating shaft, but multiple gears having their axes on a single circle concentric with the rotating shaft may be provided. Alternatively, multiple tooth-forming members with arc-shaped teeth may be provided in the circumferential direction.

[0056] Furthermore, the gears 52, 72, and 82 in the case of other shafts 50A, other spinning top toys 1A, and modified shaft 50B can be replaced with the rollers 52C of the spinning top toy 1B.

[0083] The effects of the above methods 1 through 25 are explained as follows:

[0084] According to the first method, when the second tooth meshes with the first tooth, the spinning top is moved along the guide member without sliding, thus allowing for effective movement. Furthermore, if the second gear is fixed to the main body, the meshing of the second tooth and the first tooth transmits the rotation of the spinning top to the guide member, rapidly accelerating the movement of the spinning top. In this way, the meshing of the second tooth with the first tooth can bring about a change in movement.

[0085] According to the second method, when the second tooth comes into contact with the guide member, it is less likely to be repelled, and the second tooth and the first tooth become easier to engage.

[0086] According to the third method, since the tooth-forming member is a gear with the first tooth mounted on the rotating shaft, the structure of the tooth-forming member becomes simple, and its mounting structure also becomes simple. Furthermore, because it is a gear, it is easy to utilize the power of a spinning top toy.

[0087] According to the fourth method, since a resistance means is provided, the rotation of the spinning top is transmitted to the first teeth of the guide member via the tooth-forming member, thereby increasing the speed of the spinning top's movement.

[0088] According to the fifth method, when the gear collides with the guide member, the gear rotates in a direction that mitigates the impact relative to the axis of rotation, making it easier for the first tooth to mesh with the second tooth. Furthermore, after the first and second teeth mesh, the first tooth rotates in conjunction with the rotation of the axis of rotation, increasing the speed at which the spinning top toy moves.

[0089] According to the sixth method, the clutch mechanism allows the first and second teeth to easily interlock, increasing the speed at which the spinning top toy moves.

[0090] According to the seventh method, when the gear collides with the guide member, the gear rotates against the biasing force of the leaf spring in a direction that mitigates the impact relative to the rotating shaft, so that the impact is effectively absorbed and the first tooth becomes easier to mesh with the second tooth. Furthermore, after the first tooth meshes with the second tooth, the gear rotates in conjunction with the rotation of the rotating shaft, which increases the speed at which the spinning top toy moves.

[0091] According to the eighth method, when the gear collides with the guide member, the gear is rotated against the biasing force of the coil spring in a direction that mitigates the impact relative to the axis of rotation, thus achieving the same effect as the seventh method.

[0092] According to the ninth method, when the gear collides with the guide member, the friction clutch rotates the gear in a direction that mitigates the impact relative to the rotation axis, thus achieving the same effect as the seventh method.

[0093] According to the tenth method, when the gear collides with the guide member, the elastic member elastically deforms, causing the gear to rotate in a direction that mitigates the impact relative to the rotation axis, thus achieving the same effect as the seventh method.

[0094] According to the eleventh method, the characteristics of the spinning top toy can be changed by replacing the contact members. In other words, when a contact member is used in which the contact portion is formed at a relatively far distance from the protrusion, the operating resistance between the rotating shaft and the gear becomes smaller, and when a contact member is used in which the contact portion is formed at a relatively close distance from the protrusion, the operating resistance between the rotating shaft and the gear becomes larger.

[0095] According to the twelfth method, a spinning top toy set can be realized that effectively utilizes the functions of the spinning top toys described by the first to eleventh methods.

[0096] According to the 13th method, when the first friction resistance part comes into contact with the guide member, the spinning top is made to roll along the guide member, thus allowing it to be moved effectively. Furthermore, if the first friction resistance part is fixed to the main body, the contact between the first friction resistance part and the guide member transmits the rotation of the spinning top to the guide member, accelerating the movement of the spinning top. In this way, the contact between the first friction resistance part and the guide member can bring about a change in movement.

[0097] According to the 14th means, when the first friction resistance part comes into contact with the guide member, it is less likely to be repelled, and contact between the first friction resistance part and the guide member becomes easier.

[0098] According to the 15th method, since the first friction resistance part is a roller mounted on the rotating shaft, its configuration is simple, and its mounting structure is also simple. Furthermore, because it is a roller, it is easy to utilize the power of a spinning top toy.

[0099] According to the 16th method, the first friction resistance portion comes into contact with the second friction resistance portion of the guide member, thereby increasing the gripping force and making it easier for the roller to roll.

[0100] According to the 17th method, since a resistance means is provided, the rotation of the spinning top is transmitted to the guide member via the first frictional resistance part, thereby increasing the speed of the spinning top's movement around the edge.

[0101] According to the 18th method, when the roller collides with the guide member, the roller rotates in a direction that mitigates the impact, making it easier for the roller to come into contact with the guide member. Furthermore, after the roller and the guide member come into contact, the roller rotates in conjunction with the rotation of the axis of rotation, increasing the speed at which the spinning top toy moves.

[0102] According to the 19th method, the clutch allows the first friction resistance part and the second friction resistance part to come into easy contact, thereby increasing the speed at which the spinning top toy moves.

[0103] According to the 20th method, when the roller collides with the guide member, the roller rotates in a direction that mitigates the impact against the biasing force of the leaf spring, making it easier for the roller to come into contact with the guide member. Furthermore, after the roller comes into contact with the guide member, the roller rotates in conjunction with the rotation of the rotation axis, increasing the speed at which the spinning top toy moves.

[0104] According to the 21st method, when the roller collides with the guide member, the roller rotates in a direction that mitigates the impact against the biasing force of the coil spring, thus achieving the same effect as the 20th method.

[0105] According to the 22nd method, when the roller collides with the guide member, the friction clutch rotates the roller in a direction that mitigates the impact, thus achieving the same effect as the 20th method.

[0106] According to the 23rd method, when the roller collides with the guide member, the elastic member elastically deforms, causing the gear to rotate in a direction that mitigates the impact relative to the rotation axis, thus achieving the same effect as the 20th method.

[0107] According to the 24th method, the characteristics of the spinning top toy can be changed by replacing the contact member. Specifically, when a contact member is used in which the contact portion is formed at a relatively far distance from the protrusion, the operating resistance between the rotating shaft and the roller becomes smaller, and when a contact member is used in which the contact portion is formed at a relatively close distance from the protrusion, the operating resistance between the rotating shaft and the roller becomes larger.

[0108] According to the 25th method, a spinning top toy set can be realized that effectively utilizes the functions of the spinning top toys described by the 13th to 24th methods. [Explanation of Symbols]
