Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial Application Field> This invention relates to a toy device which is particularly suitable for playing by being towed on water while riding on it.

<Prior art and problems to be solved by the invention> Water skiing is a sport in which people glide on water while being pulled by a motor boat.

It's appealing to attach skis and glide freely on the water, but it requires skill and training, so it's not something everyone can easily enjoy.

In addition, as a sport other than water skiing that is towed by a motor boat, the Dutch patent
A sport shown in Publication No. 7903845 has been proposed.
This sport has a main body with an approximately semicircular cross-section and an almost flat auxiliary body, and is equipped with multiple seats and grips on the upper surface of the main body, and on the lower surface of the main body near the tip. This toy is provided with a hook for towing and is towed by a motor boat. Therefore, anyone can easily enjoy the exhilarating feeling just by sitting on the seat.

However, in the above play equipment, the main body has a relatively complicated shape, and the auxiliary body also has a relatively complicated locking shape, so it is not easy to manufacture each of them, and moreover, the attachment of the auxiliary body to the body is difficult from the bottom surface. This is done with the seats at different heights, making it difficult to position and maintain the position until the integration is complete, and if the seat is misaligned, the seat will end up floating in the water at an angle. There's a problem. In addition, since the towing latch is provided in the small diameter part of the main body near the tip, if the towing direction suddenly changes, the force will be concentrated in this part, which has relatively low physical strength, and in the worst case There is a problem with the main body being damaged. Furthermore, since the attachment position of the hook is relatively high, the vehicle is towed almost horizontally or slightly downward, which increases water resistance, making it difficult to improve the sliding performance very much.

The present invention provides a play equipment in which each member is easy to manufacture, easy to position and maintain, can withstand sudden changes in the direction of traction, and can exhibit good sliding performance. The purpose is to

<Means for Solving the Problems> In order to achieve the above object, the play equipment of this invention has a steep conical head integrally formed at the front end of a cylindrical main body, and a rear end. A hollow main cylinder is integrally formed with a conical tail part that is gentler than the head part at the end, and a steep conical auxiliary head part is attached to the front end of the auxiliary main part part which has a smaller diameter than the main part part. It has a pair of hollow auxiliary air cylinders that are integrally formed so as to be able to follow the taper of the head, and have an auxiliary tail part that is more gently conical than the auxiliary head formed integrally at the rear end. The auxiliary air cylinder is provided integrally with the main air cylinder so that the lower surface of the auxiliary air cylinder and the lower surface of the main air cylinder are located on the same plane, and a plurality of grips are provided on the upper surface of the main body. A latching portion for traction is provided on the lower surface of the head near the base.

<Function> In the toy with the above configuration, both the main air cylinder and the auxiliary air cylinder are composed of a cylindrical main body part and a conical head and tail part, so that the bottom surface of both bodies is can be integrated while keeping them at approximately the same height. When a toy with both bodies integrated in this way is floating on water,
It is possible to reliably prevent the inconvenience of the main air cylinder sinking more than necessary and increase the resistance, and the auxiliary air cylinder can also prevent rollover. Further, when a rope is hung on the hook portion and the boat is towed by a motor boat, a slightly upward traction force can be applied, so that good sliding performance can be exhibited.
Therefore, by straddling the main trunk of the towed toy, putting both feet on the auxiliary trunk, grasping the grip, and making sure not to fall off, you can fully enjoy the exhilarating feeling. I can do it.

<Examples> Hereinafter, examples will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings showing examples.

Fig. 1 is a partially cutaway front view showing an embodiment of the play equipment of this invention, Fig. 2 is a partially cutaway plan view, and Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken along the line - - of Fig. 1. It has an air cylinder 1 and a pair of auxiliary air cylinders 2 provided along both sides of the main air cylinder 1.

The main air cylinder 1 has a cylindrical main body part 1a having a length and outer diameter sufficient for 4 to 5 people to appear,
It consists of a conical head part 1b and a conical tail part c, which are integrally continuous with both ends of the main body part 1a. Above head 1
b and the tail portion 1c have conical shapes with different slopes, and the head portion 1b has a steep conical shape to reduce water resistance and improve sliding performance.

The auxiliary air cylinder 2 has an outer diameter of 2/2 of the outer diameter of the main body portion 1a.
A cylindrical main body part 2a having an outer diameter of approximately 5 mm, and a conical head part 2 integrally continuous with both ends of the main body part 2a.
b and a tail portion 2c. Above head 2
b and the tail portion 2c have conical shapes with different slopes, and the head portion 2b has a steep conical shape to reduce water resistance and improve sliding performance. The head 2b is tilted along the head 1b of the main air cylinder 1.

The lower surface of the main air cylinder 1 and the lower surface of the head air cylinder 2 are aligned at the same height.

Therefore, even though the main gas cylinder 1 has a circular cross section, the auxiliary gas cylinder 2 provides lateral stability, making it difficult for the vehicle to overturn when stopped or skiing.

Further, on the upper surface of the main air cylinder 1, grips 4 made of a strong cloth tape passed through a vinyl pipe are provided at predetermined intervals, and hooks for hanging a traction rope on the lower surface of the head 1b near the base. Section 3 is provided.

When enjoying water gliding using the toy constructed as described above, the user first grasps the grip portion 4 and straddles the main body portion 1a, and completes boarding by placing both feet on the main body portion 2a. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 4, the end of the rope 5 extending from the rear of the motorboat is hooked to the hook 3, and the motorboat is driven. When the motor boat runs, the play equipment A slides. When the motor boat is made to meander, the play equipment A also meanders with a certain amount of delay, allowing the passengers to maintain their balance and enjoy the ride without falling off. In this case, the player may not be able to balance properly and part of his body may hit the toy A, but it is safe because it is made up of a relatively soft pneumatic trunk. Furthermore, since a slightly upward traction force acts on the play equipment A, not only the shapes of the main cylinder 1 and the auxiliary cylinder 2 but also the lower surfaces of both cylinders are aligned, making the main cylinder 1
Coupled with this, it is possible to exhibit extremely good gliding performance in combination with the prevention of unnecessarily sinking.

As a result, anyone can easily and safely enjoy water gliding with a sense of speed.

In addition, the direction of traction changes rapidly as the motorboat meanders, but this is due to the traction force that frequently changes direction due to the hooking part 3 being provided in the large diameter part of the head 1b. Damage to the play equipment A can also be prevented.

Furthermore, since both the main air cylinder 1 and the auxiliary air cylinder 2 have a simple shape, it is easy to manufacture them as a single unit, and their integration is also simple because it is only necessary to align their lower surfaces.

In addition, the above-mentioned play equipment has extremely low sliding resistance and high speed, so it is not only used for play.
By providing a flat portion on the upper surface of the main air cylinder 1 to serve as a loading platform, it can also be used for carrying cargo or saving lives. Furthermore, it can be used not only on water but also on snow.
