Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To regulate the characteristics of a governor function by the selection of the load of a character and to enable application to a plurality of types of toys by using a power spring as a power source, fitting a character over a rocking rod to be rocked via a gear train, and making the load of the character function as a governor function. SOLUTION: In a toy in which a character protruded from an eggshell is rocked by the operation of a driving module A, the driving module A is formed by housing a power spring and a gear train in front and rear housings 7 fixed together by screws 11. Then a cord 5 wound on a reel 12 is pulled out against the power spring to rotate the reel 12 and to bias the power spring, and the cod 5 is released to rock a rocking rod 10 by the force of the power spring via the gear train, etc. By this constitution, the character fitted over the rocking rod 10 is comically moved. At this time, the load of the character is made to function as a governor function to extend the driving time of the driving module A.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention uses a mainspring as a power source to swing a swinging culm through a gear train, so that a load caused by a load of a character fitted to the swinging culm functions as a governor function. The present invention relates to a toy drive module.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Heretofore, in all toy modules powered by a mainspring, a governor (speed governor) has been incorporated as an accessory mechanism for adjusting the return speed of the mainspring.

[0003]

In each of the toy modules powered by a mainspring as described above, a governor (governor) is incorporated as an accessory mechanism for adjusting the return speed of the mainspring. The gear train was complicated and easily broken.

[0004]

A toy drive module according to the present invention uses a mainspring as a power source, swings a swinging culm through a gear train, and applies a load caused by a load of a character fitted to the swinging culm to a governor. A toy drive module characterized in that it is configured to function as a function, and that the characteristics of the governor function can be adjusted by selecting the load of the character to be fitted to the swinging culm. .

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to embodiments shown in the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an example of a toy using a toy driving module according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a partially exploded view of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a front view of the toy driving module according to the present invention. 4 is a rear view of the toy driving module according to the present invention, and FIG. 5 is a left side view of the toy driving module according to the present invention.

An example of a toy incorporating the toy driving module A of the present invention shown in FIGS. 3 to 5 is shown in FIG. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a tortoise kid character, in which a character 1 protruding from an egg shape including an upper outer shell 2 and a lower outer shell 3 swings. That is,
When the string 5 pulled out from the hole 4 of the lower outer shell 3 is pulled out with the handle 6 and released, the character 1 swings in a comical motion.

As is clear from FIG. 2, the lower shell 3 and the upper shell 2 are fitted at the step 31 of the lower shell 3. The toy drive module A has a support portion 7 formed at the lower part.
The lower shell 2 is firmly fixed to the lower shell 3 by screws (not shown) from the bottom of the lower shell 2.

Further, the structure of the toy driving module A of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to FIGS. Screw 11
A mainspring (not shown) and a gear train (not shown) are housed inside the front housing 7 and the rear housing 71 which are firmly fixed with the reel 12 against the mainspring.
When the string 5 wound around is pulled out with the handle 6, the rotating shaft 121 is rotated, and the urging force of the mainspring whose end is fixed to the rotating shaft 121 is applied via the gear train to the rotating plate 13.
To rotate.

The pin 15 protruding from the rotating plate 13 is rotated by the rotation of the rotating plate 13 so that the slit
Inside, and the swinging culm 10 swings accordingly. The swinging culm 10 is fixed to a pivot 9, which is pivotally supported by a bearing 8.

As shown in one embodiment of FIG.
When the character 1 is fixed to the vehicle, the load caused by the load of the character 1 saves the return force of the mainspring and becomes a governor (speed governor) function, thereby extending the driving time.

[0011]

Since the swing repetition speed and the swing time are determined by the urging force of the mainspring and the load of the character 1 fixed to the swing culm 10, a combination of the balance of the two can be used. Thus, the swing speed and the swing time can be adjusted in accordance with the characteristics of the character 1.

Although a turtle child jumping out of an egg is simulated in the drawing of the embodiment of FIG. 1, a different embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the drawing of the embodiment of FIG. It is added that the toy drive module can be applied to a very wide variety of toys.

[0013]

According to the present invention, the swing culm is swung through a gear train using a mainspring as a power source, and the load caused by the load of the character fitted to the swing culm is governor. It is configured to function as a function, and it is configured so that the characteristics of the governor function can be adjusted by selecting the load of the character to be fitted to the swinging culm. The present invention provides an effect that a toy that moves comically using the toy drive module of the present invention without having to assemble it into a module can be applied to an extremely large variety of toys.
