Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a launcher used for robot toys, vehicle toys, etc.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Conventionally, as the above-mentioned firing device, there is known one in which a wrist portion 2, which is a projectile, is fired by pressing a firing button 1, as shown in FIG. 1, for example. By the way, this launcher has a structure in which a spring 5 is interposed in an engaging member 4 that engages the projectile 2 and the target object 3, and the spring 5 is used to connect the projectile 2 and the target object. It is adapted to be engaged with and released from the body 3. Further, the cross-shaped engaging member 4 is inserted into the hole 6 and installed inside the projectile object 3. Therefore, for example, when this device is incorporated into a robot toy or the like, the engaging member 4 is required to be a small member, and as a result, a spring 5 is interposed in the small engaging member 4, and the engaging member 4 is inserted into the hole 6.
It takes a lot of effort to set up the launcher, which is a problem in the manufacturing of the launcher.

This idea was made in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to integrally mold the engaging member with elastic plastic, etc., and use the elastic force of the engaging member itself to connect the projectile and the target. It is an object of the present invention to provide a firing device that is simple in structure and easy to manufacture by enabling engagement with a projectile.

An embodiment of this invention will be described in detail below based on the drawings. Figures 2a, b, and c are perspective views showing an embodiment of the launcher according to this invention, respectively;
FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view and a perspective view of important parts.

In the figure, 12 is a projectile modeled after the wrist of a robot toy. A projectile object 13 imitating the lower arm of a robot toy is attached to the rear of the projectile object 12 so as to be freely engageable. The projectile 12 is fired by pressing a firing button portion 11 protruding from the intermediate portion of the projectile 13.

A coil spring 7 as an elastic member is disposed within the projectile 12, with one end fixed with a screw 8 and the other end free. A locking hole 9 is provided at the rear of the projectile 12.

On the other hand, an engagement member 14 is disposed within the projectile object 13 to enable engagement between the projectile object 12 and the projectile object 13. This engaging member 14 is integrally molded from elastic plastic. Engagement member 1
4 is bent so that one end thereof comes into pressure contact with the inner upper surface and the bottom surface of the projectile object 13, respectively.
At the other end of the engaging member 14, an engaging portion 10 and the firing button portion 11 are provided in parallel. The locking portion 10 normally protrudes from the through-hole portion 15 and faces the locking hole 9, allowing engagement between the projectile 12 and the projectile object 13. Locking part 1
0 is adapted to be moved downward by pressing down the firing button section 11 to release the engagement between the projectile 12 and the projectile object 13.

Next, a description will be given of how to play the launcher with the above configuration. Now, the projectile 12 is pushed into the projectile object 13 against the elastic force of the coil spring 7. The locking portion 10 protruding from the projectile object 13 protrudes when it moves downward and the locking hole 9 passes directly above the locking portion 10. As a result, the locking portion 10 engages with the locking hole 9, and the projectile 12 is reliably engaged with the projectile object 13. In this way, a state is created in which the wrist portion of the robot is engaged with the lower arm portion. Next, by pressing down the firing button part 11, the locking part 10
The projectile 12 also moves downward, and the projectile 12 is disengaged from the projectile object 13, and at the same time, the projectile 12 is launched from the projectile object 13 by the elastic force of the coil spring 7.

In this way, with the simple operation of pressing the firing button part 11, the wrist part of the robot pops out, making the play function of the robot toy even more unexpected, and making it extremely interesting for children. .

In this embodiment, a case has been described in which the firing device is installed in the arm of the robot, but the invention is not limited to this, and it may be installed, for example, in the neck of the robot so that the head protrudes. Further, the launch device of this embodiment may be incorporated into a toy or the like that is launched from a space base by a rocket, an airplane, or the like.

As explained above, according to the launching device of this invention, the locking member is integrally molded with elastic plastic, etc., and the elastic force of the locking member itself is utilized, so that a single member can be used as a projectile. Engagement with the projectile becomes possible, the structure becomes simpler, and the time-consuming process of interposing a spring in a small locking member, which is required in the prior art described above, is eliminated. In addition, unlike the conventional method described above, the locking member with a bent end is pressed against the projectile object without having to align the locking member with a spring inserted into a predetermined hole. It also has the advantage that it can be easily installed.
