Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a spinning top toy that rotates a lever held in the hand.The purpose of the invention is to hold the case-shaped body in the hand and insert a long and thin rack rod into the rack rod insertion hole of the main body. When the rack rod is pulled forward, the rotating top, which is non-rotatably fitted to the top insertion shaft of the rotating shaft, rotates due to the meshing action of the rack and pinion, and the push button of the top rotation engagement/disengagement mechanism is then pressed. When the engagement and disengagement mechanism is engaged and disengaged by a push button operation, the rotating top drops downward from the rotating shaft portion and continues to inertially rotate on the floor surface.
To provide a highly entertaining spinning top toy with a novel structure that does not exist heretofore.

An embodiment of this invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the figure, 1 is a case-shaped main body that can be held by hand and is made of a two-part structure consisting of a front case 1a and a rear case 1b. The part has a rack rod insertion hole 2 that penetrates in the horizontal direction and a top loose insertion hole 3 that opens on the bottom.
and a push button protrusion hole 4 located at the center of the entire surface (the center of the front case 1a). 5 is a rotating shaft supported inside the tip of the main body 1 with its axis displaced from the rack rod insertion hole 2 and perpendicular to it;
This rotating shaft has a top insertion shaft portion 6 extending into the center of the top loose insertion hole 3, and also has a pinion 7 for easy rotation provided coaxially and integrally with this rotating shaft. Reference numeral 10 denotes a top rotation locking/disengaging mechanism provided in the vicinity of the top insertion shaft 6 in the main body 1, and has a U-shaped top end as shown in FIG. It is composed of a leaf spring 9 and a push button 8 which is inserted and fixed into the forward bending angle shaft part 9a of the free end of the leaf spring and projects outward through the push button projection hole 4. At an intermediate position facing the insertion shaft 6, there is a rib plate-shaped engaging portion 11 (this engaging portion engages with an annular groove 15 of a top boss portion 14, which will be described later) by the spring force of a leaf spring 9. ) is installed protrudingly. Reference numeral 12 denotes an elongated rack rod which is inserted into the rack rod insertion hole 2 of the main body 1 from the front as shown by the imaginary line in FIG. 5 and rotates the pinion 7 by pulling it forward. A bar knob 12a is provided. Reference numerals 16 and 16' refer to two rotating tops with different shapes each having a boss portion 14 that can be loosely inserted into the top loose insertion hole 3, and a non-rotating piece is removably fitted to the top insertion shaft portion 6 at the center of the boss portion 14. Insertion hole 1 to be fitted
3 is drilled therein, and an annular groove 15 is provided around the outer periphery of the protruding end of the boss portion 14, in which the engaging portion 11 of the top rotation engaging/disengaging mechanism 10 engages as shown in FIG. And two rotating tops 16,1 with different shapes
One of the rotating tops 6', for example 16', is inserted into the main body 1 with its boss portion 14 inserted into the locking hole 19 of the top attachment opening 18 provided at the end of the gripping sphere 17 side of the main body 1. It is becoming more and more attached.

The top insertion shaft portion 6 of the rotating shaft 5 has a wedge-shaped tapered bulging portion 6a on the outer circumference, and the insertion hole 13 at the center of the boss portion 14 of the rotating top 16 has a tapered bulging portion 6a. The top rotation engagement/disengagement mechanism 10 is formed to have a cross-sectional shape complementary to the top insertion shaft 6.
The rotary top 16 is smoothly rotated and removed by disengaging and disengaging.

FIG. 1 shows a front view of the main body with the top 16 removed. In this state, hold the main body 1 with your hands, press the push button 8 with your thumb, and rotate the boss 14 of the top 16 to the rotation axis. 5 into the top insertion shaft 6 as shown in FIG. Then, the rotating top 16 is set. Then, hold the rack rod 12 in your hand and insert it into the rack rod insertion hole 2 of the main body 1 from the front as shown by the imaginary line in FIG.
By pulling it out, the rotating shaft 5 and the rotating top 16 inserted and latched onto the rotating shaft are rotated by the meshing action of the rack and pinion 7. In this state, press the push button 8 to move the engaging portion 11 of the top rotation engagement/disengagement mechanism 10 into the annular groove 1 of the top boss portion 14.
5, the rotating top 16 rotates and falls onto the floor, and continues to rotate inertia on the floor.

Since the top spinning toy of this invention is as described above, by holding the case-shaped main body in your hand, inserting the elongated rack rod into the rack rod insertion hole of the main body, and pulling the rack rod forward, The rotating top, which is non-rotatably fitted to the top insertion shaft of the rotating shaft, is rotated by the meshing action of the rack and pinion, and then the push button of the top rotation engagement/disengagement mechanism is pushed to engage the engagement/disengagement mechanism. To provide a highly entertaining top-spinning toy with a novel structure that does not exist in the past, in which when detached, the rotating top drops downward from the rotating shaft part and rotates by inertia as it is on the floor surface. I can do it.
