Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a toy in which pieces are played with fingers.

Traditionally, there have been various types of tops, but some took up space, were dangerous, and the way they turned were often similar or similar, so some of them quickly became boring. It was a lot.

This invention was invented to eliminate that drawback.
It concerns a toy that shoots out pieces. below,
To explain based on the drawings, FIG. 1 shows a top used in the toy of the present invention, 1 is the main body of the top, and small wheels 3 are attached to the upper and lower ends of a shaft 2. Figures 2 and 3
The figure shows the main part of the present invention using a rod-shaped body. Launch platform rails 4, 4 extending rearward from the front end are provided symmetrically and parallel to each other, and a spindle 2 of the top is mounted on the top of the platform rails 4, 4. However, the upper rails 5, 5 of the starting platform are extended symmetrically along the starting platform rails 4, 4, with a distance that allows free movement between them.
The rear end of the starting platform upper rail 5 is extended in a loose spiral shape to the rear upper center part while keeping the interval between the two rails constant, thereby forming upper conversion rails 6, 6. While keeping the distance between the two rails constant, extend the rear ends of the other departure platform rail 4 and the departure platform upper rail 5 to the rear lower center part, and extend the lower switching rail 7, 7. The front ends of the platform rails 4, 4 are fixed to the platform 9 by the front end supports 8, 8, and the U-shaped columns 8A, 8A are used to connect the platform rails 4, 4 and the platform upper rails 5, 5. The joint parts with the upper conversion rails 6, 6 and the lower conversion rails 7, 7 are fixed to the stand 9, and the outer supports 8C, 8C at the rear end are fixed.
Then, the rear ends of the upper conversion rails 6, 6 are fixed to the base 9 by the inner support columns 8B, 8B at the rear ends, and the rear ends of the lower conversion rails 7, 7 are respectively fixed to the stand 9. The departure platform rails 4, 4, the departure platform upper rails 5, 5, the upper conversion rails 6, 6, and the lower conversion rails 7, 7,
In order to fix each rail at an optimal position so that the main body 1, the spindle 2, and the small wheel 3 of the top can move freely while making contact with the spindle 2 of the top, a support 8 is installed at the front end of each rail. ,8,
U-shaped struts 8A, 8A, rear end outer struts 8C,
8C and the rear end inner columns 8B, 8B, the shape, length, and arrangement of each column are adjusted appropriately to fix each rail to the stand.

Since the present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, when you want to use it, place the spindles 2, 2 of the top on the starting platform rails 4, 4, and use your fingers 10 to push the main body 1 of the top.
When you touch the top, accumulate a little force in your finger, and then lower your finger all at once, the top rotates violently toward you, and at the same time, the top is pushed strongly backwards, causing the top body 1, spindle 2, While the small car 3 rotates violently, the mandrel 2 passes through the starting platform rails 4, 4 and the starting platform upper rails 5, 5, and then passes through the upper switching rail 6,
6 and the lower conversion rails 7, 7, it finally jumps out of the rear ends of the upper conversion rails 6, 6 and the lower conversion rails 7, 7, and beyond that, the top stands beautifully and continues to rotate violently.

The top, which was initially placed in a horizontal position and started off, instantly changes to a vertical position and is ejected from the toy, where it spins violently, making it a fun play as the top rotates in unexpected ways. I'm not interested in it. Also, since you can fly the pieces to a certain distance and rotate them, if you target your opponent's pieces and shoot them out, the game becomes more interesting.

In FIG. 4, each rail is constructed of a plate-like body, with 4A being a starting platform rail, 5A being a starting platform upper rail, 6A being an upper switching rail, and 7A being a lower switching rail. In order to allow the pieces to freely go in and out of the inside, plate frames 13 and 13A are provided with windows 24 and 24A, which are suitably cut out on the inside according to the shape of the pieces, and windows 24 and 24A are provided for the small wheels 3 of the pieces to enter and exit. The departure platform rail 4A, the departure platform upper rail 5A, the upper conversion rail 6A, the lower conversion rail 7A, etc. are fixed to the platform 9 at predetermined positions. It can be manufactured from synthetic resin, wood, metal, etc. Even if you consider the uniqueness of the composition, it will keep children's interest.

In FIG. 5, each rail is constructed of a plate-like body, and an upper switching rail 6A and a lower switching rail 7 are shown.
A is wrapped in a cylindrical body 14, and inside the cylindrical body 14,
The upper conversion rail 6A and the lower conversion rail 7A are fixed via fixing pieces 15, and the cylindrical body 14 is attached to the stand 9 with legs 16.

When a top placed in a horizontal position leaves the cylindrical body 14, the top changes to a vertical position and flies out, allowing you to enjoy the magic of magic. Furthermore, even if the cylindrical body is made transparent to show the inside, the unique structure will attract children's attention. Upper conversion rail 6A
Since the lower switching rail 7A is fixed inside the cylindrical body 14, there is also a great structural advantage in that the upper switching rail and the lower switching rail are reliably fixed in position.

FIG. 6 shows that the starting platform rail 4A and the starting platform upper rail 5A are constructed of plate-like bodies, and a groove 2 cut into a cylindrical body 19 in the shape of a loose helical band.
0 and 20A are provided to form an upper conversion rail 6B and a lower conversion rail 7B, and the front and rear of the cylindrical body 19 are fixed to the stand 9 with plate-shaped frames 13B and 13C. Since the spiral belt-shaped grooves 20 and 20A provided in the cylindrical body 19 are used as the upper conversion rail 6B and the lower conversion rail 7B, the upper conversion rail and the lower conversion rail can be constructed in the simplest and most robust manner. It is something.

In FIG. 7, two grooves 20B and 20C cut out in a loose spiral band shape are provided in a cylindrical body 19A,
While configuring the upper conversion rail 6C and the lower conversion rail 7C, only the front end rail portions of the upper conversion rail 6C and the lower conversion rail 7C,
The semicircular cylindrical frame 23 is extended forward to form the departure platform rail 4B and the departure platform upper rail 5B.
Then, the rail spacing of each rail is maintained and fixed, and the front end of the departure platform rail 4B is supported and fixed with the legs 25.
The lower part of the cylindrical body 19A is attached to the stand 9 with legs 26 and 27. Cylindrical body 19 that integrates the upper conversion rail 6C and the lower conversion rail 7C
In contrast to A, since the starting platform rail 4B and the starting platform upper rail 5B are also integrated, all the rails are configured in the simplest manner and can achieve sufficient functionality. It is something.

FIG. 10 shows an example in which the end edge 28 of each rail made of a plate-shaped body, which comes into contact with the spindle 2 of the piece, has a chevron-shaped cross section. When the spindle 2 of the top moves while sliding on each rail, the frictional resistance between the spindle of the top and each rail can be minimized.

In Fig. 11, the end edge 29 of each rail made up of a plate-like body has a semicircular cross-section, which minimizes the frictional resistance between the spindle of the top and each rail, and also prevents friction when touched by the hand. It is also highly safe.

In FIG. 12, the starting platform rail 4E and the starting platform upper rail 5E are constructed of plate-like bodies, and a cylindrical body 30 having a semicircular cross section is also used to load the tops from the outside of the starting platform rail and the starting platform upper rail. Mouth 21
The semicircular cylindrical body 3 is installed in a vertical position with the
A window 22 through which the small car 3 of the top passes is provided by cutting out the parts of the starting platform rail of 0 and the rail portions of the starting platform upper rail that are in contact with the rails.

Even if the semicircular cylindrical body 30 is attached, the departure platform rail 4
Although the top rail 5E and the top rail 5E of the starting platform are strongly reinforced, the work of loading the top and starting the train can be carried out without any hindrance.

In FIG. 13, the front end portions 31 of the plate-shaped starting platform rail 4F and the starting platform upper rail 5F are connected, and the top loading port is closed. When loading the top onto the starting platform rail 4F, the top is loaded by returning the top from the top openings at the rear ends of the upper and lower conversion rails. The departure platform rail 4F and the departure platform upper rail 5F can be constructed in the simplest and most robust manner.

In FIG. 14, the front part of the starting platform rail 4G is made slightly lower and a stationary part 32 for the spindle of the top is provided. When you place the spindle of a top on the launch platform rail, you can prevent the top from rolling out before you can use your finger to launch the top.

In FIG. 15, a recessed portion is provided in the front portion of the starting platform rail 4H to serve as a stationary portion 32A of the spindle of the top. Even if you use this departure platform rail 4H,
The top does not start rolling before it is launched.

FIG. 16 shows a top in which irregularities are provided on the outer periphery of the main body 1A of the top. When you place a top on the launch platform rail and use your finger to launch the top, it sometimes happens that your finger slips when you touch the top and the top launches without applying enough force to the top, but if you use this top, , it is possible to apply sufficient rotational force and forward force to the top and launch it without the fingers slipping.

FIG. 17 shows a top in which a material 33 with high frictional resistance, such as rubber, is attached to the outer periphery of the main body 1B of the top. Even if you use this top, you can launch the top without your fingers slipping.

Figure 18 shows a top with two small wheels attached to the top and bottom of the spindle. Double mounted small car 3
Each rail is brought into contact between the rails and the small wheel 3 to move the pieces, but when the pieces move on each rail, the discrepancy in the traveling speed of the upper and lower small cars must be kept to a minimum. As a result, the movement and rotation of the top after the train can be moved more smoothly and more reliably.

Figure 19 shows the upper and lower parts 34 of the main body 1D of the top.
This is a top that has been expanded into a chevron shape. Even when using this top, the movement and rotation of the top after it is launched can be done more smoothly and reliably, similar to the above-mentioned top with two small wheels attached to the top and bottom of the spindle. It is possible to

FIG. 20 shows a top with small bead-shaped wheels 3A attached to the upper and lower ends of the spindle of the top. It is safe and cute, making it suitable for young children and girls.

FIG. 21 shows the upper and lower end portions 34 of the main body of the top,
It is a piece that has a chevron shape and does not have small wheels at the top and bottom ends. If you use this top, there will be a discrepancy in the advancing speed of the top and bottom ends of the top's spindle, and the top that pops out will not be able to rotate independently and may fall over, but with a little practice you can definitely make it stand upright and rotate. It becomes like this. This piece is interesting because it allows you to compete with your skills.

In this way, this toy attracts children's interest not only because of its unique structure, but also because of the unexpected way in which the tops spin, such as the horizontal top spinning beautifully in a vertical position. Put it on and don't let it go. Also, since you can make pieces pop out by targeting your opponent's pieces, you can enjoy playing the game as well.
