BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following description, the same reference numerals are given to the same configurations, and their names and functions are also the same.

<Embodiment>
In this embodiment, a top toy made of cardboard material will be described as an example. As will be described later, a top toy made of corrugated cardboard is an example, and can be provided in various materials.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the top toy 1 is composed of a body portion 10 and a shaft portion 20. As shown in FIGS.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the main body 10 is made of a circular plate-like member, and is formed by cutting out a cardboard material, for example. The body portion 10 functions as a rotating body of the top toy 1 .

As shown in FIGS. 2(a), 2(b) and 3, a mounting hole 11 for inserting the shaft portion 20 is formed in the central portion of the body portion 10. As shown in FIGS. The mounting hole 11 is formed in a substantially triangular shape with each side curved inward, and the inner edge shape thereof conforms to the outer edge shape of the shaft constituent members 21, 22, 23 constituting the shaft portion 20, which will be described later. ing.

As shown in FIG. 3 , the shaft portion 20 is inserted through the attachment hole 11 of the body portion 10 and fixed. The shaft portion 20 functions as a rotating shaft of the top toy 1 and also as a handle for rotating the top toy 1 by hand.

As shown in FIG. 3, the shaft portion 20 is configured by combining three shaft forming members 21, 22, and 23. As shown in FIG. Each shaft constituent member 21, 22, 23 has the same shape. Here, for the sake of convenience, the configuration of one shaft forming member 21 will be described.

The shaft-constituting member 21 is composed of a substantially circular plate-shaped member, and is formed by cutting out a cardboard material, for example. As shown in FIG. 4 , the shaft component 21 has a first extending portion 211 , a second extending portion 212 and a bent portion 213 .

The first extending portion 211 and the second extending portion 212 have a substantially semicircular shape, and their extending directions form a predetermined angle θ with the bent portion 213 interposed therebetween. Specifically, the extending direction (first direction) of the first extending portion 211 is about 120° as a predetermined angle θ with respect to the extending direction (second direction) of the second extending portion 212 . is at an angle of That is, in this embodiment, since the shaft portion 20 is composed of the three shaft constituent members 21, 22, and 23, the respective shaft constituent members form an angle of 120°, and the three shaft constituent members form an angle of 360°. (1 lap).

As will be described later, the shaft portion 20 is configured by combining a plurality of shaft forming members. Specifically, the shaft portion 20 is configured such that the outer surface 211a of the first extension portion 211 of the shaft component 21 or the outer surface 212a of the second extension portion 212 of the shaft component 21 is aligned with the first extension portion of the other adjacent shaft component. Adjacent shaft constituent members are combined so as to be in contact with the outer surface or the outer surface of the second extension portion.

A concave portion 214 is formed in each side end portion of the first extending portion 211 and the second extending portion 212 . The concave portion 214 is engaged with the body portion 10 while the shaft portion 20 is inserted through the attachment hole 11 of the body portion 10 .

The bending portion 213 corresponds to a bending portion that connects the first extending portion 211 and the second extending portion 212, and the extending direction (first direction) of the first extending portion 211 and the second extending portion It forms a side extending in a direction substantially perpendicular to the extending direction of 212 (second direction).

Next, a mode of configuring the shaft portion 20 by combining a plurality of shaft forming members 21, 22, and 23 will be described. As shown in FIG. 5, the outer surfaces of the first extending portions or the outer surfaces of the second extending portions of the adjacent shaft members 21, 22, and 23 are brought into contact with each other and combined together. Specifically, the outer surface 211a of the first extension portion 211 of the first shaft component 21 and the outer surface 222a of the second extension portion 222 of the second shaft component 22 are brought into contact with each other, and the member 21 is The outer surface 212a of the second extending portion 212 and the outer surface 231a of the first extending portion 231 of the third shaft component 23 are brought into contact with each other. Furthermore, the outer surface 221a of the first extension portion 221 of the second shaft component 22 and the outer surface 231a of the second extension portion 231 of the third shaft component 23 are brought into contact with each other.

The shaft portion 20 is configured by combining the three shaft forming members 21, 22, and 23 in this way. In this state, the sides 212, 223, 233 of the bent portions of the shaft members 21, 22, 23 extend in the same direction. Further, when the shaft portion 20 is fixed to the main body portion 10, the sides of the bent portions 212, 223, and 233 of the respective shaft constituent members 21, 22, and 23 are arranged in the central portion of the attachment hole 11 of the main body portion 10. In addition, the direction in which the sides of the bent portions 212 , 223 , 233 extend is substantially parallel to the direction of the rotation axis of the body portion 10 . With this configuration, the sides of the three bent portions 212 , 223 , 233 constitute the rotation axis C of the top toy 1 .

Next, a method for assembling the top toy 1 will be described. As shown in FIG. 3, the shaft portion 20 formed by combining the three shaft members 21, 22, and 23 as described above is inserted through the mounting hole 11 of the main body portion 10 from above. When the shaft portion 20 is inserted through the mounting hole 11 , the three concave portions 214 provided in the shaft portion 20 are engaged with the inner edge of the mounting hole 11 , thereby fixing the shaft portion 20 to the main body portion 10 .

When the shaft portion 20 is fixed to the main body portion 10 , one side in the direction of the rotation axis C protrudes from the upper surface of the main body portion 10 , and the other side in the direction of the rotation axis C protrudes from the lower surface of the main body portion 10 . Outer surfaces 21 a , 22 a , 23 a of each shaft constituting member constituting the shaft portion 20 protruding from the upper surface of the body portion 10 serve as handle portions when the top toy 1 is operated. When the top toy 1 is played, the user holds the handle portion (the shaft portion 20 protruding from the upper surface of the main body portion 10) and rotates it. By operating in this manner, the shaft portion 20 protruding from the lower surface of the main body portion 10 serves as a rotating shaft, and the top toy 1 rotates.

<Modification>
A modification of the top toy 1 according to the present embodiment will be described.

FIG. 6 is a top view showing a body portion 30 that constitutes a top toy according to the first modification of the present embodiment. The body portion 30 has a substantially hexagonal outer shape, and a mounting hole 31 is formed in the central portion of the direction 0. As shown in FIG. Other configurations are the same as those of the above embodiment.
