Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a top toy bouncing during rotation.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 A conventional top toy is formed by integrally forming a conical portion at a lower portion of an upper toy body and penetrating a rotation shaft at the center. As means for rotating the top toy, there are a case where a string is used and a case where a starter provided with a pinion rack mechanism is used. The starter is provided with a rotating member on the main body, holds the top toy under the rotating member, penetrates the rack member engaging with the rotating member through the main body, strongly pulls the rack member to rotate the rotating member, and Is to apply a rotational force to the body to separate it from the body. There are various ways to play top toys, such as competing for rotation time, performing acrobatics, and hitting opponents to beat them.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 However, the structure of the toy itself is basically as described above, and there has been a demand for a toy having a structure that can develop a new play different from the conventional one.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above problems and to provide a toy that rotates while bouncing by providing a spring at a lower portion.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, a top toy according to the present invention is characterized in that a spiral spring is attached to the lower surface of the top of the top toy, and a rotating shaft is fixed to a tip of the spring.

It is preferable that the spring is formed in a conical shape as a whole.

Further, it is desirable that the top body of the toy is composed of a plurality of members that can be assembled and disassembled.

[0008] At least one file surface and one of the metal portions may be provided on an outer peripheral surface of one of the plurality of decomposable members.

[0009]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 In FIG. 1, reference symbol A indicates a frame toy according to the present invention. The top toy A includes a disc-shaped top body 1, a spiral spring 2 attached to the lower surface thereof, and a rotary shaft 3 fixed to the center of the tip of the spring 2.

As shown in FIG. 2, the top body 1 is composed of a circular base 1a, a weight disc 1b and a retaining ring 1c, which are formed so as to be disassembled and assembled. The circular base 1a is provided with an engaging portion 5 on a synthetic resin disk 4. An engaging groove 6 is formed in the engaging portion 5, and protruding shafts 7 are provided on both outer sides of the engaging portion 5. Are formed. The weight disk 1b is a metal disk having a concave groove 8 which can be engaged with and disengaged from the protruding shaft 7 of the circular base 1a. The rotation time and the rotation speed vary depending on the weight. Further, the retaining ring 1c is made of synthetic resin, and has an engagement piece 9 on a part of the inner periphery and a projection 10 on the outer periphery. The engagement piece 9 is inserted into the engagement groove 8 of the engagement portion 5 of the circular base 1a. It is formed so that it can be disengaged by pushing. Therefore, the weight disc 1b is engaged with the engaging portion 5 of the circular base 1a, and the retaining ring 1c is further superimposed thereon to engage the engaging piece 9 with the engaging groove 8 of the engaging portion 5. As a result, the top body 1 can be assembled and disassembled into three members by releasing each of the above-mentioned engagements.

The reason why the weight disk 1b and the stop ring 1c are interchangeable with those having another structure is to allow the play to have a certain width. For example, since the projection 10 is formed on the outer periphery of the retaining ring 1c, the impact when hitting another top toy (not shown) during rotation is large, which is advantageous for defeating the top toy. On the other hand, as will be described later, the retaining ring 1c and the weight disk 1b are replaced with a weight disk b having a file surface 19 and a metal portion 20 alternately formed on the outer peripheral surface, like the top toys A and A 'in FIG. When the ring is replaced with a stop ring 1c having no protrusion, the outer peripheral surfaces come into contact with each other when they hit against the other top toys A 'and A, and sparks are emitted from the metal portion 20. Therefore, another fun is obtained. It is.

A spiral spring 2 is attached to the lower surface of the circular base 1 a of the top body 1. That is, as shown in FIG. 3, a circular mounting portion 11 is formed on the lower surface of the circular base 1a, and an insertion portion 13 of the spring 2 is formed at one end of an arc-shaped notch portion 12 formed on the outer periphery thereof. Have been. The spring 2 is formed in a conical shape as a whole, and one end 2 a thereof is inserted and fixed to the insertion portion 13. The other end 2b of the spring 2 is wound in a circular shape at a position corresponding to the vertex of the cone, and the rotating shaft 3 is fixed to this portion. The rotating shaft 3 is a short shaft, and is preferably mounted at a position far from the lower surface of the mounting portion 11.

Next, when the top toy A is rotated, a conventionally known starter 14 is used as shown in FIG. That is, the engaging piece 16 protruding from the lower portion of the rotating member 15 of the starter 14 is engaged with and held by the engaging portion 5 of the top toy A, and the rack member 17 is strongly pulled forward to rotate the engaging piece 16. Then, a rotational force is applied to the top toy A. The top toy A is disengaged from the starter 14 by rotating momentum and separated, and falls to the floor. The toy A is kept rotating by the rotation shaft 3 hitting the floor, but the spring 2 is bent by the load of the toy A itself, so that the toy A is bound by the elasticity of the spring 2 as shown in FIG. Rotate while bouncing, and bouncing while further rotating. Therefore, an interesting play that has never been seen before can be obtained. For example, you can play a new game, such as bouncing farther and competing for the distance you bounced. Conventionally, in a game in which the player stops the rotation by crushing the opponent's top toy by colliding with another top toy, the outer peripheral surface of the main top toy body 1 hits against the outer peripheral surface of the other top toy main body. Although the mainstream was to flip off the toy, when using the above-mentioned top toy, a three-dimensional way of playing, in which the bounce is used to attack the opponent's top toy from above, becomes possible.

The top toys A and A ′ as shown in FIG. 6 also involve a three-dimensional movement, so that the collisions become intense and sparks are emitted strongly, so that the play becomes more exciting.

The spring attached to the lower part of the toy body need not necessarily be formed in a conical shape.

[0016]

[Effect of the invention]

 According to the first aspect of the present invention, the spiral toy is attached to the lower surface of the top of the toy body, and the rotating shaft is fixed to the tip of the spring. Therefore, the entire toy is bound by the action of the spring. There has never been such a toy that spins while bouncing in this way, so it is possible to play three-dimensionally, and there is a possibility of bringing new developments to how to play the top.

According to the invention of claim 2, since the spring is formed in a conical shape, the overall shape approximates to the top. Therefore, rotation similar to that of the conventional top toy can be maintained.

According to the third aspect of the invention, since the top of the toy frame is composed of a plurality of members that can be assembled and disassembled, the structure of these members is devised so that they can be replaced with other same members. You can have a wide range of play.
