It is supported by these shafts 9, 11 and a guide pin 34 provided on the lower side of the front wall 5 so as to be able to move up and down. The groove 29 and pin 31 constitute a positive cam, and when the clock is moved by this cam via the drive member 21, the transmission shaft 30 moves vertically as the hour hand 16 rotates.

A rack 35 and an operating piece 36 having a tapered surface 36a are provided at the lower part of the transmission shaft 30. As shown in FIG. 3, an operating shaft 39 rotatably supported by left and right bearings 37 and 38 is provided inside the lower part of the house toy main body, and the operating shaft is connected to the rack 35 of the transmission shaft. It is interlocked with. As a result, the actuating shaft 39 reciprocates around the horizontal axis as the transmission shaft 30 moves up and down. This rotation of the operating shaft 39 causes the operated objects B, C,
D, are operated in conjunction.

The washing machine (toy) B includes a lid 40 and a casing 41, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 5, and the lid 40 has a guide member 42 extending downward, as shown in FIG.
The guide member is fitted into a hole 43 formed on the side surface of the housing so as to be able to rise and fall freely, and
3, the upper and lower parts of the guide member are connected by a water hose 44.

A spring holding member 45 is fixed to the inner end of the guide member 42, and a downwardly extending spring 46 is fixed to the spring holding member 45. In addition, the guide member 42
A vertically long hole 47 is formed in the vertically long hole, and an operating shaft 48 is inserted through the vertically long hole. A stopper 49 having a locking surface 49a at the lower end is fixed at the center of the operating shaft 48, and the shaft portion 48a on one side of the stopper passes through the hole 47 of the guide member and then connects to the front surface of the casing 41. A coil spring 50 is wound around the other shaft portion 48b, and the shaft portion is inserted through another hole (not shown) provided in the front wall 5.
As a result, the tip of the operating shaft 48 is always urged toward the front of the housing 41 and is held between the front wall 5 and the front of the housing.

Furthermore, a locking portion 51 that projects upward toward the stopper is provided at the upper portion of the stopper side surface of the vertically long hole 47 of the guide member 42 . And the operation axis 4
The other end of the actuator 8 protrudes from the front wall toward the inside of the tower portion, and a notch 52 is formed at the protruding end, into which the actuating piece 36 provided on the transmission shaft 30 is fitted. The maximum thickness of this actuating piece tapered surface 36a is:
The protruding width of the locking portion 51 is slightly larger than that of the locking portion 51 .

With this configuration, when the lid 40 of the washing machine B is pushed downward, the lid sinks into the housing 41 and the locking portion 5
1, the stopper 49 is moved a little inward against the coil spring, but when the stopper comes off from the locking part 51, the locking surface 49a of the stopper 49 is locked by the returning force of the coil spring. Since the lid 40 is locked to the upper surface of the portion 51, the spring 4
Despite being subjected to a force of 6, the washing machine is maintained in a sunken state, and the washing machine opens to give the appearance of being in use.

Furthermore, when the tip 48a of the operating shaft 48 protruding from the front of the washing machine is pushed with a fingertip, the stopper 49 is released from the locking portion 51, and the lid 40 rises again due to the restoring force of the spring 46, opening the opening. Closed.

A circular window 53 is provided in the front of the casing 41, and a rotating shaft 55 is supported by a bearing 54 provided at the center of the window 53 and a bearing (not shown) provided on the front wall 5.
A disk 56 with a suitable pattern written on its surface is fixed to the tip of the rotating shaft on the window 53 side, and
If the pinion 57 provided on the rotating shaft is provided with a rack rod 58 on the underside of the lid 40 that engages with the pinion only when the lid is lowered, the operating shaft 48 can be pushed and the lid 40 can be moved by the spring 46, as described above. When the washing machine is rapidly raised by the force of , the disk 56 can be rotated by the rack 59 and the pinion 57, giving the impression that a washing machine is operating.

As described above, when the drive member 21 turns the watch 3, the actuating piece 36 fitted into the notch 52 of the operating shaft 48 moves down when the transmission shaft 30 descends.
However, by using the tapered surface 36a, the operating shaft 48 is moved inward (to the left in FIG. 5) against the coil spring 50, and the engagement between the stopper 49 and the locking portion 51 is released, and the sinking opening is opened. The lid 40, which has been closed, returns to its upward position.

Next, the lid 60 of the range C is supported so as to be openable and closable by a bearing 62 formed on the front waist wall 61 of the main body of the house toy, and has an actuated rod 63 extending inward on the back surface of the lid. . Microwave cavity 64
The bottom 65 of the lid 60 is cut out so that a portion of the actuated rod for closing the lid 60 projects downward. As shown in FIG. 3, below the notch 66 is one end of an actuated shaft 68 whose intermediate portion is rotatably supported by the house toy main body via a shaft 67. The other end is connected to the operating shaft 39.
Located below.

The actuating shaft 39 is provided with a protrusion 69 that projects toward the other end of the actuated shaft 68 at a position corresponding to the other end of the actuated shaft 68. When the actuating shaft 39 rotates, the protrusion 69 touches the actuated shaft. Push down the other end of 68.
Therefore, one end of the actuated shaft 68 moves upward.
Therefore, when the lid 60 of the range is closed as shown in FIG. 1, the actuated rod 63 of the lid is pushed up, and the lid 60 is opened.

Note that 70 is a support member fixed to the main body of the house toy, and supports the operating shaft 39 auxiliarily.

Next, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 7, the head/bookshelf D has the shape of a bed 71 on one side and the shape of a bookshelf 72 on the opposite side, and has legs 73. Shaft 74 protruding from both sides
is mounted so as to be rotatably supported around a horizontal axis by a bearing 76 provided on the upper surface of the floor 75 of the main body of the house toy. Since the headboard 77 of this bed/bookshelf is flat, it becomes a bookshelf when it stands up as shown in FIG. 1, and becomes a bed when it is rotated and folded down as shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 3, there is an angle lever 7 on the lower side of the floor 75 at a position corresponding to the bed/bookshelf D.
A bearing 79 whose one end of 8 is fixed to the lower surface of the floor 75
The bent portion 78a of the angle lever 78 is rotatably supported via a pin 80.
is located directly above the actuation shaft 39.
The operating shaft 39 is provided with a protrusion 81 that protrudes opposite the angle lever. As a result, when the actuating shaft 39 reciprocates, the protrusion 81
As a result, the angle lever 78 is pushed up and its tip protrudes upward from the hole 82 provided in the floor 75, pushing up the headboard 77 of the bed/bookshelf D, causing the bookshelf to fall down, as shown in FIG. Becomes a bed.

As mentioned above, when the hands 15 and 16 of the clock 3 are turned via the drive member 21, the transmission shaft 30 moves in the vertical direction in conjunction with the movement of the hour hand 16, and thereby,
The operating shaft 39 reciprocates and can operate the lid 40 of the washing machine B, the lid 60 of the range C, and the bed/bookshelf D, respectively. can be set in various ways depending on the shape of the groove 29 of the cam, the position of the protrusions 69, 81 of the operating shaft 39 on the circumference of the operating shaft, etc.
It is also preferable that the operation time differ depending on the type of object to be operated. For example, 10:00 or 11:00 p.m. is considered bedtime and the bed is used, so when the hour hand 16 of the clock rotates to the position pointing to 10:00 or 11:00, the transmission is transmitted via the cams 29 and 31. When the shaft 30 is moved to the lowest position so that the protrusion 81 pushes up the angle lever 78, the bookshelf 72 falls onto the floor 75 and becomes the bed 71.

Furthermore, the cams 29 and 31 cause the transmission shaft 30 to
As an example, at 9 o'clock, 12 o'clock, 3 o'clock, and 6 o'clock, the transmission shaft moves upward, and at that time, the projection 69 of the operating shaft pushes up the tip of the operated shaft 68 and lifts the lid 60 of range C. It's ready to open.

Further, since the operating piece 36 is fixed to the transmission shaft 30, the operating shaft 48 is operated each time the transmission shaft is moved downward by the cam. If the lid is returned to its original position at the specified time, the rotating plate 5
6 can be rotated to set the washing machine to operation.

In the above, washing machines, microwave ovens, and bed/bookshelves have been listed as examples of objects to be operated, but this invention is not limited to these, and can be applied to various objects that are used at home and are familiar to young children. An object to be operated is provided, and this object can be operated at a predetermined time in conjunction with the hands of a clock.

Further, the transmission mechanism for operating the operated object may also have various configurations other than the above embodiments.

As mentioned above, according to this invention, it is possible to play by driving the hands of a clock, and when a predetermined time arrives, multiple objects to be operated are operated in conjunction with the hands, and the time and the objects to be operated can be changed. By expressing the temporal relationship between actions, it is also useful for developing children's concept of time.
