Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO THE RELATED APPLICATION

The present application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. 119 to Japanese Patent Application No. 2018-194794 filed on Oct. 16, 2018. The entire content of Japanese Patent Application No. 2018-194794 is incorporated herein by reference.

BACKGROUND

Technological Filed

The present invention relates to a spinning top toy.

Background Technology

Conventionally, it is well-known that a spinning top toy for battle games is provided with a body having flanges and raised parts, a pressing member provided with flanges and projections, a spring urging the pressing member upwardly, and a shaft part having a ground part (see e.g., Patent Document 1).
In this spinning top toy, the body and the shaft part are butted at a position where the flanges of the body and the flanges of the shaft part are not overlapped each other in the vertical direction, and in the state against the urging force of the spring, the body is relatively rotated within a predetermined amount in one direction with respect to the shaft part around the shaft center, so that the upper surface of the flanges of the body and the lower surface of the flanges of the shaft part are overlapped each other in the vertical direction and the body and shaft are engaged, and the raised parts and the projections are abutted in the vertical direction so as to function as a rotation resistance. According to such spinning top toy, against the rotation resistance by colliding with an opponent's spinning top toy, when the body is relatively rotated in the direction opposite to the one direction with respect to the shaft part around the shaft center, the body is separated and disassembled from the shaft part at the position where the flanges of the body and the flanges of the shaft part are not overlapped in the vertical direction.

SUMMARY

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

The strength of the spinning top toy is relied on the shape of the outer circumference of the body and the meshing state between the raised parts of the body and the projections of the shaft part.
However, with such spinning top toy, in the body side, the flanges of the main body, which configures the outer circumference of the body, and the raised parts are integrally formed adjacent to each other.
Therefore, from the view of the outer circumference of the body, the meshing state between the raised parts of the body and the projections of the shaft part, in order to adjust the strength of the spinning top toy, it was the only way to replace the main body which forms the flanges and the raised parts. Substituting the meshing element (one of the sliding elements) such as the flanges and the raised parts, it is also the same in the case in which other sliding elements such as a rubber, etc. are provided.
The present invention was created considering the aforementioned conventional status. An object is to provide a spinning top toy capable of independently changing an outer circumference shape of a body and a form of a sliding element.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Hereinafter, a spinning top toy of the present invention will be described based on embodiments shown in the drawings.

Whole Structure

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an external appearance of a spinning top toy and a launcher (launching apparatus). FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view showing the spinning top toy.
Among them, the spinning top toy 1 is used for battle games, etc. for winning or losing by, for example, colliding the spinning top toys each other. The spinning top toy 1 is provided with a shaft part 10, a flywheel 30, and a body 40.

Detail Structure

1. Shaft Part 10 and Flywheel 30

FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a half of a shaft part 10 and a flywheel 30. The remaining half with respect to the half of these parts are formed in a point symmetry. In the description of the shaft part 10 and the flywheel 30, the terms “up”, “down”, “left”, “right”, “front”, and “back” refer to the corresponding directions in FIG. 3.
Among these parts, the shaft part 10 is provided with a ground part 11 at the lower end part, a flange 12 at the middle part in the vertical direction, and a cylindrical body 13 at the upper end part.
The flange 12 and the cylindrical body 13 are integrally formed. At the center of the cylindrical body 13, a cylinder 14 is provided. In the outer circumference of the upper end part of the cylinder 14, a flange 17 stretching in the outward radial direction is formed at each of front and back sections. The cylinder 14 is fastened to the shaft lower part 10 a. The outer circumference surface of the shaft lower part 10 a is gradually reduced in diameter in the direction from the flange 12 side to the tip end side of the ground part 11, so as to form an approximately reversed conical shape as a whole. The shaft lower part 10 a is fastened to the flange 12 by a screw, etc. which is not shown in the drawings.
In each of the front and back of the flange 12 and the cylindrical body 13, a hole 15 is formed throughout the flange 12 and the cylindrical body 13. Further, in each of the right and left of the outer circumference surface of the cylindrical body 13, a projection part 16 is formed. The outer circumference surface of each projection part 16 becomes flush with the outer circumference surface of the flange 12.
Further, the shaft part 10 is provided with a cylindrical shape pressing member 18. The pressing member 18 has an annular upper end part 18 b which is the shape fitting to the outside of the upper end part of the cylinder 14. The pressing member 18 is arranged inside the cylindrical body 13 in a manner surround the cylinder 14. A leg part 18 a, which stretches radially outward in each of the front and back of the outer circumference of the lower end part of the pressing member 18, is formed.
The pressing member 18 is assembled in a manner of exposing each leg part 18 a from the hole 15 which corresponds to the leg part 18 a. The holes 15 allow the movement of the leg parts 18 a in the vertical direction, but the movement of the leg parts 18 a is restricted at the upper edge of the holes 15. Further, the pressing member 18 is urged in the upper direction by the spring 19. By the way, in each of right and left of the upper surface of the upper end part 18 b of the pressing member 18, a protruding strip (projection) 20, which extends in the radial direction, is formed.

2. Flywheel 30

The flywheel 30 is formed in an annular shape. The flywheel 30 is an accessory part of the shaft part 10 and without the case in which it is disassembled, when assembled, it is integrated with the shaft part 10, but even when the flywheel 30 is not assembled, it may be used as the spinning top toy 1. At the inner periphery side of the bottom surface of the flywheel 30, an annular step part 30 a, which can store the flange 12 of the shaft part 10 from the lower side, is formed.
A projection part 31, which projects upwardly, is formed in each of the right and left of the upper surface of the flywheel 30. At the lower side part of each projection part 31, a recessed part 32, which can store the projection part 16 of the shaft part 10 from the lower side, is formed. Further, on the upper surface of the flywheel 30, a tongue-piece part 33, which extends upwardly, is formed directly outside of each of the projection part 31. The tongue-piece parts 33 project higher than the projection parts 31.

3. Body 40

FIG. 4 shows components of the body and shows (A) a plane view of a chip, (B) a plane view of a metal, and a (C) a plane view of a main body. In the drawings, it shows two type chips 43A, 43B, one type metal 42, and two type main bodies 41A, 41B.
The body 40 of the present embodiment is configured by selecting one in each of the chips and the main bodies among these components and appropriately assembling with the metal. Even when the metal 42 is not assembled, it may be used as the spinning top toy 1.
(1) Main Body 41 (when Referring Both of the Main Bodies 41A, 41B, it is Called as the Main Body 41)
First, the main body 41 will be described. A common part of the main bodies 41A, 41B, mainly, the main body 41A as an example will be described, and the explanation about the main body 41B is omitted.

A. Common Point

FIG. 5 is an exploded perspective view showing the body when viewed from the upper side. FIG. 6 is an exploded perspective view showing the body when viewed from the lower side.
The body 41A has a disk-shape as a whole. A plurality of blades 41 a is formed along the circumferential direction in the outer circumference of the main body 41A.
An arcuate slit 41 b is formed in each of the right and left of the main body 41A. In each arcuate slit 41 b, a narrow width part is provided.
An approximately circular shaped hole 41 c is formed in the central part of the main body 41A. On the lower surface of the main body 41A, at the front and back of the hole 41 c, the projection part 41 d, which is projected downwardly in an arcuate shape in the cross section, is provided in each of the front and back of the hole 41 c. A flange 41 e projected inwardly is formed at the inner surface lower end of each projection part 41 d. A part of the edge of the hole 41 c between the projection parts 41 d adjacent to each other is notched. The projection parts 43 e of the chip 43A, which will be described later, are arranged in the notch parts 41 f.

B. Specific Point

In the outer circumference of the main body 41A, two blades 410, 410 in which the outer edges extend long along the circumferential direction, and three small blades 411 positioned between the two blades 410, 410 are formed. The outer edge of the blades 410 and the tip end of the small blades 411 are formed in a manner of being inscribed to one virtual circle around the shaft center of the body 40. According to the main body 41A, since the outer circumference of the main body 41A is close to the circle, the impact force giving to the opponent is relatively small when colliding with the opponent's spinning top toy, and the impact force receiving to own spinning top toy 1 is also small at the time.
On the other hand, in the outer circumference of the main body 41B, a plurality of small blades 412 having various shapes in large and small sizes along the circumferential direction is formed. According to the main body 41B, since the ruggedness of the outer circumference is large and the tip end of the small blades 412 in the position of the radial direction is also uneven, the impact force giving to the opponent is relatively large when colliding to the opponent's spinning top toy, and the impact force receiving to own spinning top toy 1 is also large at the time.

(2) Metal 42

The metal 42 has a shape such that two diamond shaped metal parts 42 a, 42 a are connected. In this connection part, a hexagonal columnar shaped positioning projection 42 b is provided. The hexagonal columnar parts 42 c, 42 c positioned facing each other across the positioning projection 42 b become a thick portion. Here, one metal 42 is shown, but multiple types of the metal may be prepared. As long as it is assembled to the main body 41, the shape is not limited. The metal 42 is assembled to the main body 42 as shown in FIG. 7, and it is sandwiched between the main body 42 and the chip 41A.
(3) Chip 43 (when the Chips 43A, 43B are not Distinguished, it is Called as the Main Body 43)
Next, the chip 43 will be described. For the common part of the chips 43A, 43B, the chip 43 A will be described as an example, and the explanation of the chip 43B will be omitted.

A. Common Part

The chip 43A has a butterfly shape in a plane view. In the middle part, a positioning hole 43 a fitted to the positioning projection 42 a of the aforementioned metal 42 is formed. Further, in the right and left middle part of the chip 43A, a positioning notches 43 b are formed. Further, a piece to be locked 43 c extending downwardly is formed in each end in the front and back direction of the chip 43A. On the inner surface of each piece to be locked 43 c, a recessed part 43 d is formed.
Further, on the lower surface of the chip 43, the projection part 43 e, which is projected downwardly from the edge of the aforementioned positioning hole 43 a in an arcuate shape in the cross section, is provided in each of the right and left. At the lower end of the projection parts 43 e, a raised part forming a plurality of continuous chevrons is formed.

B. Specific Point

Comparing two types of the chips 43A, 43B, as shown in FIGS. 8(A) and 8(B), a pitch between the chevrons of the raised part 43 f is different. In the case in which the pitch between the chevrons is different, a larger pitch creates a large relative rotation amount when receiving an impact at one time.

(3) Fixing Apparatus 44

FIG. 9 is an exploded perspective view showing the main body.
The fixing apparatus 44 is provided in the main bodies 41A, 41B. The common part of the fixing apparatus 44 will be described by using the main body 41A as an example, and the explanation of the fixing apparatus 44 of the main body 41B will be omitted.

A. Common Point

In the main body 41A, in order to fixing the chip 43 to the main body 41, the fixing apparatus 44 is provided. The fixing apparatus 44 is provided with L-shaped plates 44 a, and a pressing plates 44 b mounting the L-shaped plates 44 a to the main body 41 and abutting to the lower surface of the chip 43 by the upper surface so as to restrict the height position of the chip 43.
The L-shaped plates 44 a are provided with a locking part 44 c extending in a horizontal direction, and an operating part 44 d extending downwardly in the vertical direction from one end of the locking part 44 c. In the main body 41A, recessed parts 41 g in which the locking part 44 c of the L-shaped plate 44 a is fitted are formed, and at the one end inside the recessed part 41 g, holes 41 h in which the operating part 44 d is inserted from the top are formed. As a result, the operating parts 44 d are possible to be operated from the lower side of the main body 41A. Further, in the other end of the inside of the recessed parts 41 g, recessed parts 41 i in which the locking parts 43 c of the chip 43 are inserted from the top are formed. The pressing plates 44 b cover the top of the L-shaped plates 44 a. Two cylindrical shaped fitting parts 44 e are provided to each pressing plate 44 b, and the fitting parts 44 e are fitted to the fitting holes 41 j of the main body 41. In this state, by screwing the screws (not shown), which are inserted from the lower side, to the fitting parts 44 e of the pressing plates 44 b, the pressing plates 44 b are attached to the main body 41.
In the state in which the chip 43 is mounted on the pressing plates 44 b, it is attached by the fixing apparatus 44. That is, the locking parts 43 c of the chip 43 are inserted from the top to the recessed parts 41 i of the main body 41, and by inserting the tip of the locking parts 44 c to the recessed parts 43 d, the chip 43 is attached.

B. Specific Point

In the case of the present embodiment, when mounting the chip 43, the pressing plates 44 b abutted on the lower surface of the chip 43 are functioned as a regulating member in the vertical direction distance from the flanges 41 e to the raised parts 43 f, and the vertical direction distances in the main body 41A and the main body 41B are made different.
That is, the pressing plates 44 b of the main body 41A abut to the lower surface of the chip 43 with the first vertical direction distance from the flanges 41 e when fixing the chip 43, and on the other hand, the pressing plates 44 b of the main body 41B abut to the lower surface of the chip 43 with the second vertical direction distance, which is smaller distance than the first vertical direction distance from the flanges 41 e when fixing the chip 43.
With this, the following effects can be obtained.
That is, in the body 40 on the basis of the main body 41B, as described above, when colliding with the opponent's spinning top toy, the impact giving to the opponent is relatively large, and the impact receiving the own spinning top toy 1 is also large at the time. Therefore, when colliding with the opponent's spinning top toy, the body 40 is relatively rotated in the direction opposite to the rotation direction of the spinning top toy 1 with respect to the shaft part 10. On the other hand, in the body 40 on the basis of the main body 41A, as described above, when colliding with the opponent's spinning top toy, the impact giving to the opponent is relatively small, and the impact receiving to the own spinning top toy 1 is also small at the time. Therefore, when colliding to the opponent's spinning top toy, it is hard to relatively rotate the body 40 in the direction opposite to the rotation direction of the spinning top toy 1 with respect to the shaft part 10.
Under these circumstances, when using the same chip 43 in the same meshing state, the spinning top toy 1 having the body 40 on the basis of the main body 41 A is harder to be disassembled than the spinning top toy 1 having the body 40 on the basis of the main body 41B. With such circumstances, it cannot be the fair battle.
Therefore, in the present embodiment, even when using the same chip 43A, for example, when mounting to the main body 41B, the depth of meshing becomes deep (FIG. 10(A)), so as to be hardly disassembled, and when mounting the main body 41A, the depth of meshing becomes shallow (see FIG. 10(B)), so as to be easily disassembled. It is the same as when using the chip 43B.

Assembly Method of Spinning Top Toy 1

Next, a whole assembly method of the spinning top toy 1 will be described.
The body 40 and the shaft part 10 are butted from the vertical direction at the position where the flanges 41 e and the flanges 17 are not overlapped in the vertical direction. The flanges 41 e push the pressing member 18 downwardly against the urging force of the spring 19. In this state, the body 40 is relatively rotated around the shaft center with respect to the shaft part 10 by a predetermined amount. The body 40 and the shaft part 10 are engaged at the position where the upper surface of the flanges 41 e and the lower surface of the flanges 17 are overlapped in the vertical direction (FIG. 11). In this case, the projections 20 and the raised parts 43 f are abutted in the vertical direction.

How to Play

Next, an example of how to play with the spinning top toy 1 will be described.
First, a charge of the rotation force of the spinning top toy 1 is performed. The charge is performed by a launcher 60 as shown in FIG. 1. In the inside part, the launcher 60 is provided with a disk which is not shown, and the disk is urged in one rotational direction by the power spring which is not shown. When the string, which is not shown, wound around the disk is pulled by a handle 61, the disk is rotated, and therefore, the spinning top holder 62 is rotated. The rotation of the spinning top holder 62 is transmitted to the spinning top toy 1 by the forks 63 projected downwardly, so that the spinning top toy 1 is rotated. In this case, the forks 63 are inserted to the arcuate slits 41 d of the body part 40. The projections 63 b formed inside the forks 63 are inserted under the narrow part of the arcuate slits 42 b. When the handle 61 of the launcher 60 is pulled to the end, the rotation of the disk and further, the spinning top holder 62 is stopped, and on the other hand, the spinning top toy 1 is rotated further by the inertia force, so that the spinning top toy 1 is released from the spinning top holder 62 in accordance with the tilting faces 63 a of the forks 63.
When the spinning top toy 1 launched in such manner collides with the opponent's spinning top toy, by the impact force due to the collision, the meshing position of the raised parts 41 h on the lower surface of the body 40 and the projections 20 is changed in accordance with the relative rotation of the shaft part 10 with respect to the body 40. When reaching the disassembled position, the engagement of the flanges 41 g of the body 40 and the flanges 17 of the shaft part 10 are released, and by the urging force of the spring 19, the body 40 is separated from the shaft part 10.

Modification Example of the Present Invention

The embodiments of the present invention were described above, but the present invention is not limited to the aforementioned embodiments, and needless to say, various modifications may be made.
For example, the aforementioned embodiments, as the meshing elements, the projections 20 and the raised parts 43 f are described, but the raised parts may be provided in both, or the projections may be provided in the body 30 side, and the raised parts may be provided in the shaft part 10 side. Further, other than the meshing elements as a sliding element, other sliding elements, which may be a rotational resistance such as a rubber, etc. instead of the projections 20 and the raised parts 43 f, may be provided.
Further, in the aforementioned embodiments, in the chip 43A and the chip 43B, the pitch between the chevrons of the raised parts 43 f is changed, but the shape of the chevrons may be changed.
Further, in the aforementioned embodiments, by providing the fixing apparatus 44, the chip 43 is attached to the main body 41, but if the chip 43 is attached to the main body 41 by, for example, a fitting member, an elastic flange, etc., a special fixing apparatus may not be required.

Effect of the Invention

Since the first flange is provided in the main body forming the outer circumference, and the first sliding element is provided in the chip which is detachable in the main body, the outer circumference shape of the body and the sliding state can be independently changed.
Even when the same chip is attached, depending on the case in which it is attached to the first main body or the case in which it is attached to the second main body, the sliding state can be changed.
Even when the projection lengths of the projection parts, which are the first projection part of the first main body and the first projection part of the second main body, are the same, depending on the case in which it is attached to the first main body or the case in which it is attached to the second main body, the sliding state can be changed.
The outer circumference shape of the body and the meshing state can be independently changed.
