In addition, there has been proposed a configuration including a stopper attached to a thread positioned between a large number of flying objects. Therefore, by winding up the thread with the stopper and flying object with a hoisting machine, the flying body is released from the thread after the stopper is released from the thread, and the flying object is released into the air, and this is repeated. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).

Utility Model Registration No. 3075746 (see FIG. 1)

The flying object launching device disclosed in Patent Document 1 requires a work for attaching a stopper to a thread between adjacent flying objects in the vertical direction, in addition to a work for passing a large number of flying objects through a thread. Inconvenience requiring a lot of time.
In addition, because the stopper is interposed between the flying bodies adjacent in the vertical direction, the flying bodies cannot be arranged on the thread with a close spacing in the vertical direction, and there is a disadvantage that the entire apparatus becomes large in the vertical direction. It was.
Furthermore, since the flying object launching apparatus does not include a driving device for sending the flying object into the air, the flying object cannot receive sufficient air resistance from the front, and no lift is generated in the flying object. As a result, the flying object receives air resistance while the flying object descends vertically. When the flying object descends to a position where the air resistance exceeds a predetermined value, the flying object is configured to fly from the vertical direction to the horizontal direction, so there is a disadvantage that it can only be used in places with high ceilings. .

  In view of the above-mentioned situation, the present invention intends to solve a flying object launching apparatus that can easily perform preparatory work before launching, reduce the size of the apparatus, and can be used even in a place with a low ceiling, and to be used therefor.

However, the speed of the belt 16C is increased by a transmission mechanism that transmits power from another driving source or the driving source that drives the belt 16C. It may be configured to be driven and rotated at a synchronized speed. By providing the pinching roller 23 in this way, even if a slip occurs between the flying object 1 and the first belt conveyor 15, the flying object 1 from the first belt conveyor 15 can be securely attached to the second belt conveyor 16. There is an advantage that it can be transferred to the launch port side.

  The casing 4 shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 is formed of a cylindrical body having convex curved portions with four corners curved in plan view, and an upper open type box-shaped body 24 is formed on the lower inner surface of the cylindrical body. It is fixed via fixing means such as screws. The cylindrical body includes front and rear plate-like side walls 4A and 4B extending in the vertical direction and left and right plate-like side walls 4C and 4D extending in the vertical direction so as to connect the left and right ends of the front and rear side walls 4A and 4B. I have. The box-shaped body 24 has a plate-like rectangular bottom wall portion 24T forming a bottom portion (rectangular shape in the drawing) and front and rear plate-like shapes raised upward from four sides of the bottom wall portion 24T. Wall portions 24A and 24B and left and right plate-like wall portions 24C and 24D are provided. The box-like body 24 configured as described above drives the belt conveyors 15 and 16 in addition to the belt conveyors 15 and 16, the pressing roller 19, the sandwiching roller 23, and the flying object receiver 14 including the support portion 13. Drive motors 25, 26 and the like are provided, and by removing the box-like body 24 from the box-like body 24, it is possible to inspect and replace these many parts. The belt conveyors 15 and 16 are provided with driving rollers 15A and 16A on the front side, and driven rollers 15B and 16B on the rear side, as opposed to the belt conveyors 15 and 16 of FIG. The pulleys 15P and 16P are attached to one end of the drive shafts 15a and 16a of the drive rollers 15A and 16A so as to be integrally rotatable, and are attached to the eccentric output shafts 25A and 26A of the drive motors 25 and 26 so as to be integrally rotatable. By winding the transmission belts 27 and 28 around the pulleys 25P and 26P and the pulleys 15P and 16P, the rotational force from the drive motors 25 and 26 is transmitted to the belt conveyors 15 and 16, and the belt conveyors 15 and 16 The belts 15C and 16C can be rotated. A hanger boss 12 for fixing the flying object launching device to the ceiling or the like is provided at a substantially central portion in the front-rear direction of the upper end of the casing 4 shown in FIG.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the weight 1A with which the flying body 1 was equipped protruded upwards from the upper surface of the flying body 1, the weight 1A is the lower surface of the flying body 1 as shown in FIGS. The flying object 1 may be provided so as to protrude downward from the projector. Further, a projection 15H is provided on the surface of the endless belt 15C constituting the first belt conveyor 15 so as to abut on the weight 1A and push the flying object 1 toward the launching port. The protrusions 15H are integrally formed at one position in the belt rotation direction at the central portion in the belt width direction, but may be provided at two or more positions in the belt rotation direction. Further, the protrusion 15H is configured as a single band-shaped body set to approximately half the width of the belt 15C, but may be configured from a plurality of convex portions formed at predetermined intervals in the width direction. Good. In this way, the weight 1A protrudes downward from the lower surface of the flying object 1, so that the protrusion 15H of the belt 15C of the first belt conveyor 15 to be driven comes into contact with the weight 1A of the flying object 1 and the flying object 1 Even if a slip occurs between the flying object 1 and the first belt conveyor 15, the flying object 1 can be reliably delivered to the second belt conveyor 16.

  The operation of the flying object launching device configured as described above will be described with reference to FIGS. 10A and 10B and FIGS. 11A and 11B. First, a transmitter (not shown) is provided. The two electric motors 25 and 26 are driven by pressing the launch button of the flying object. By driving the electric motor 25 of the first belt conveyor 15, the lowermost flying object 1 among the flying objects 1 accommodated in the accommodation unit 2 is sent out (see FIGS. 10A and 10B). At this time, even when a slip occurs between the belt 15C of the first belt conveyor 15 and the flying object 1, the protrusion 15H abuts against the weight 1A of the flying object 1 and pushes the flying object 1 toward the launch port. The flying object 1 can be reliably delivered to the second belt conveyor 16. The timing at which the projection 15H abuts on the weight 1A of the flying object 1 to push the flying object 1 toward the launching port and the contact is completed is just before the flying object 1 is delivered to the second belt conveyor 16. It may be after the delivery (see FIG. 11A). Then, the flying object 1 delivered to the second belt conveyor 16 is released in a downward posture to the outside of the apparatus through the launch port 4K of the casing 4 while being brazed upward (see FIG. 11B) for a predetermined time. I can fly.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 12A and 12B, a weight 37 for preventing the flying body 1 housed in the housing portion 2 from being lifted is placed on the flying body 1 positioned at the top. ing. The weight 37 is a plate having a thickness larger than the vertical size (height) of the gap K between the lower end surface of the front plate portion 5 and the upper surface of the first belt conveyor 15, and the accommodating portion. The size of the weight 37 in the front-rear direction is shown in FIG. 12B when the last flying object 1 located at the uppermost part is sent out. Thus, it is preferable to set the length from the front plate portion 5 to the support portion 13 so that the rear end of the weight 37 does not move away from the support portion 13. Further, the front end portion 37A of the weight 37 is bent upward so as not to come into contact with the upper surface of the front end portion of the flying object 1, and is in a posture facing upward. That is, by setting the position of the bent portion 37W that bends so that the lower surface of the front end side of the weight 37 presses the substantially central portion of the weight 1A of the flying object 1, it is possible to reliably prevent the weight 1A from floating. it can. Accordingly, the protrusion 15H is surely brought into contact with the weight 1A so that the flying object 1 can be reliably sent forward. The weight 37 is made of synthetic resin, wood, paper, or the like, and its weight is about 100 g, which is optimal for feeding the flying object 1, but any weight may be set.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 13A and 13B, the light emitting device 38 capable of self-light emission may be provided on the lower surface of the weight 1 </ b> A of the flying object 1. The light emitting device 38 includes a light emitting diode 39 (only one is provided in the figure, but two or more may be provided) 39, a battery 40 for causing the light emitting diode 39 to emit light, and light emission from the battery 40. A circuit 41 for enabling electrical connection to the diode 39 and a switch 42 for switching the circuit 41 from a non-conductive state (open state) to a conductive state (closed state) are provided. The switch 42 enters the contact portion 41A, 41A of the circuit 41 that is integrated with the switch portion 42A that is in contact with the protrusion 15H and that is separated from the switch portion 42A and is open, thereby bringing the circuit 41 into a conductive state. Leg part 42B for carrying out. Therefore, when the switch portion 42A of the switch 42 comes into contact with the protrusion 15H, the leg portion 42B is pushed into the contacts 41A and 41A of the circuit 41, and the circuit 41 is switched to a conductive state (closed state). By this switching, power from the battery 40 is supplied to the light emitting diode 39, and the light emitting diode 39 emits light for a predetermined time. In FIG. 13, the flying object 1 accommodated in the accommodating portion 2 is regulated in the left-right direction and the position of the front end portion by a pair of left and right guide portions 43, 43 that are long in the vertical direction and arranged in the front side. Has been. These guide portions 43, 43 have a vertical length from the vicinity of the bottom portion of the housing portion 2 to the top portion, and have an inner flat surface so that the stacked heart-shaped flying bodies 1 can smoothly move downward. I have. Note that the pair of left and right guide portions 43, 43 can be configured by a single guide portion, or can be configured by three or more guide portions. Further, the guide portion can be constituted by a vertically long rod-like member. The vicinity of the bottom portion refers to a gap required for the flying object 1 to be removed from the guide portions 43 and 43 and fed forward, specifically to the bottom portion of the accommodating portion 2 (specifically, the upper surface of the belt conveyor 15 and the support portion 14). It is a location located about 1 cm above the upper surface.
