Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a small toy or flying object.
  • the technical sector of the invention is the field of manufacture of games, toys, flying gadgets.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a flying toy such as as described in the aforementioned document, which is improved.
  • the present invention more particularly aims to procure such a flying toy, the structure of which is simplified, in order to be manufactured at a lower cost, while maintaining performance sufficient aerodynamics and preferably in order to improve these performance.
  • the present invention also aims to provide a simplified manufacturing process for such a flying toy.
  • the metal frame of which is in one piece (therefore devoid of of connections between constituent parts such as welds) and is devoid of rotation shaft, we get a frame and therefore a much simpler toy to make than the one described in the the aforementioned patent application; this ease of manufacture and the significant decrease in cost as a result, is further increased by to the also monobloc and substantially planar structure of the armature the body of the toy; the special characteristics of the difference in cross-section of the reinforcements used, on the one hand for the propeller and on the other hand for the body as well as the thickness characteristics and weight of the paper used to make up the wings and blades, as well that the method of assembly and the structure of the various constituents of the object, contribute to the ease of manufacture of the different components as well as their assembly, while optimizing the lightness and aerodynamic performance characteristics of the toy; we thus obtain a toy capable of being stored flat in a thin packaging such as a folded sheet of paper or cardboard
  • the toy 60 is essentially constituted by a propeller 61 and a body 62 which is consisting of a frame 1 and two symmetrical wings 2, 3, as well as a elastic strap 53 extending substantially along the longitudinal axis 7 which is substantially an axis of symmetry of the toy.
  • the propeller 61 has two symmetrical blades 5 and 6 and a reinforcement 4 which, as particularly illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, is obtained by cold and flat forming of a section of metal wire, whose diameter is equal to or very close to the thickness 45 of the reinforcement 4.
  • This frame is essentially constituted by a central bend 8 at 180 ° which is extended by two branches or straight portions 9 and 10 substantially parallel to each other and to the longitudinal axis 7; each of these straight portions 9 and 10 are extended by two elbows 11 and 12 respectively, formed at an angle 17; said elbows 11 and 12 are extended by a straight main portion, respectively identified 13 and 14 of the section of wire, which forms the main part of the reinforcement, each of the straight sections 13 and 14 ending in a loop, of preferably substantially closed 15 and 16; the main sections rectilinear 13 and 14 of the frame 4 make an angle 18 with the axis additional longitudinal 7 of the angle 17 previously mentioned, the angle 18 being between 30 and 90 °, preferably close to 60 °, so that the angle 17 is close to 120 °; the straight portions 9 and 10 and the central elbow 8 thus delimit a central notch 19, inside which can slide the strands 54, 55 of the elastic bracelet 53, as illustrated in particular in FIGS. 6 and 8; as illustrated in figure 8, the leading edge 59 of the blades
  • the frame 1 of the body of the toy comprises in the central part a turn 21 extending substantially perpendicular to the plane of Figure 1 and in the plane of Figure 3, which turns around an orifice 22 substantially circular, the diameter of which is slightly greater than the distance between the straight sections 9 and 10 of the armature 4 of the propeller shown FIG. 1, in order to allow the passage of these straight sections 9 and 10, as well as the central elbow 8 of this frame, through this turn 21 and to allow rotation of the propeller along the longitudinal axis 7 of the toy, when this central part of the frame 4 of the propeller extends to the across coil 21 of the toy body frame, as illustrated figure 8.
  • the armature 1 has two bent portions 23 and 24 extending substantially symmetrically with respect to the longitudinal axis 7 on either side of the coil 21, which are extended by rectilinear sections 25 and 26 each provided with a corrugation 27, 28 reinforcing the rigidity of this armature, which corrugated portion 27, 28 extends substantially in the plane 20 in which the reinforcements extend, as illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3 (with the exception of turn 21 of the body frame as previously described).
  • sections 25 and 26 straight ends with 180 ° elbows respectively marked 29 and 30, extended by rectilinear sections 33 and 34 respectively, elbows at substantially 180 ° 31 and 32, and straight sections terminals 33 and 34, the ends 37, 38 of which are close to one of the other ; thanks to the elasticity of the material (steel wire constituting frame 1), the two lower parts of the frame can be close together so that the notches 35, 36, respectively delimited by the sections 33 and the elbow 31 for one, and by the sections 34 and the elbow 32 for the other, are juxtaposed and / or superimposed to form a strap attachment notch, which is similar to notch 19 formed in the armature 4 of the propeller and to allow, as illustrated particularly Figure 6 and 8, attach the elastic strap 53, so that its length (called initial) 56 is slightly greater (by preferably in the range of 1% to 25%) to its length at rest.
  • initial the elastic strap 53
  • the bracelet 53 includes preferably strands 54, 55 of rectangular section, the largest of which dimension or length 57 is such that its relation to the smallest dimension 58 of the strands is between 1 and 2.5.
  • the piece 44 of paper intended to form a toy propeller blade has a main flap or portion active 39, intended to constitute the bearing part (from the point of view aerodynamic) of the blade, and includes a secondary part or flap or gluing flap marked 40, which is separated from the part 39 by a fold line 41 or straight fold section, in which both parts can be folded relative to each other; preferably, the piece 44 of paper is glued to the part 40 or folding flap which extends in strip form along an edge of part 39, as well as in a second gluing zone 43 forming part of said zone 39, and delimited by a line 42 of the gluing zone limit of the part 39.
  • the part 47 in paper intended to constitute one of the two wings of the body of a toy according to the invention comprises a main part 48 or active part of the part 47 intended to constitute the wing, as shown in FIG. 8, and by a gluing flap 49 which is separated from main flap 48 by a line of folding 50, intended to extend parallel to the longitudinal axis 7 of the toy; a second gluing zone 52 is preferably provided in the supporting part 48 of the part 47, which is delimited by lines 51 shown in Figure 5.
  • the loops 15, 16 (FIG. 1) of the frame 4 and the undulations 27, 28 of the frame 1 promote the attachment of the wings and blades in paper to the frame they surround and cover with the flap or collage flap; they avoid the rotation of the wings and blades relative to these frames.
  • loops 15, 16 formed at the two ends of the frame 4 avoid the risk of injury to the user by the ends of the section of wire constituting this reinforcement.
