In general, bead crafts require manual work to insert multicolored beads one by one into thread, string, or wire. During this process, beads are stored in multiple trays, each divided by color. , select a plate of colored beads of your choice and throw them away using a needle tip with a thread or string inserted through it. The work of picking up beads one by one with the tip of a needle requires patience and concentration, and is extremely inefficient, so bead handicrafts tend to be relatively small items, and large items such as wall hangings and table mats are made. If so, it is clear that it will take a long time.

Therefore, the applicant of the present application aimed to provide a bead stringing toy in which beads are inserted into a thread using a simple device.
The application was filed at the same time as the present application. This bead string toy is
When the desired beads are supplied one by one, the beads are inserted into the guide cylinder, and the hole of the bead is guided through the upper end of the sharpened wire inserted into the guide cylinder, and the wire is guided through the hole. The beads are sequentially transferred to a filament inserted and connected to the lower end of the wire via a bead feeding mechanism. According to this bead stringing toy, a desired amount of beads can be inserted into one or more thread-like bodies in a short time, so that the bead threading operation, which is a preliminary preparation for bead handicrafts, can be performed extremely simply, easily, and quickly.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, according to the above beaded toy,
Since the work of inserting beads into the filament is done extremely quickly, a predetermined amount of beads will be used up within a short period of time, so a bead supply device is required.
Furthermore, since beads are colored in various colors and come in many types, when creating multicolored bead handicrafts, a large number of containers are required to separately store the multicolored beads. Therefore, it is possible to create a bead supply device equipped with a large number of containers in series, but it is better to construct a removable type bead supply device equipped with 3 to 5 containers,
It would be convenient if a plurality of such bead supply devices could be replaced with attachment type devices to supply beads of multiple colors.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In view of the above circumstances, the present invention provides a bead feeding device that can be attached to the bead stringing toy in an attachment manner, and includes a plurality of containers storing a predetermined amount of beads. , a stirring plate rotatably housed in the inner bottom of the container, a bead discharge hole formed in the side wall of the container at the top of the stirring plate, and a hole in the container facing the bead discharge hole. A chute arranged at an angle on the outer side, a weir plate provided with protrusions that intersect perpendicularly at the lower end of the chute and are integrally provided vertically and front and back to dam the chute, and actuate the weir plate. This is a bead feeding device consisting of a push button.

[Effect]

According to the above configuration of the present invention, the beads move from the bead discharge hole of the container to the chute while being stirred by the stirring plate in the container, and are temporarily stopped in the chute by the weir plate, and then the push button is pressed and the weir plate is moved. descend,
A predetermined number of beads can be provided. Therefore, it is possible to sequentially select beads of the required color and quantity and guide them to the bead guide insertion mechanism in a timely manner.
When it is necessary to supply multicolored beads to form a desired pattern, etc., a plurality of bead supply devices can be attached to and detached from the bead handicraft toy by replacing them with attachments.

As shown in FIG. 2, the stirring plate 24 has stirring blades 241 formed at its axial center and recesses 242 formed at regular intervals at its peripheral edge. Also, weir plate 2
91 has a push button 292 on the top and a support body 293 on the bottom.
The support body 293 has two protrusions 29 arranged in upper and lower positions in the front and rear positions.
4,295 are provided. These protrusions 294,
295 is a groove 2 cut out in the transverse direction in the chute 29, which is installed with a gap approximately the length of one bead.
By fitting into 96 and 297 and moving up and down, beads B sliding down the chute 29 are ejected one by one. In this bead ejection operation, when the push button 292 is biased upward by the spring 298, the upper protrusion 294 allows the beads B to slide down the chute 29, and the lower protrusion 295 allows the beads B to slide down the chute 29. Bead B, which is to be prevented from sliding down on 29, is stopped. When the push button 292 is pressed down, the protruding piece 294 moves downward to prevent the bead B from sliding off the chute 29. At this time, protrusion 2
The bead B ₁ located between 94 and 295 is the protruding piece 29
At the same time as 4, the protruding piece 295 moves downward and becomes in a state where it is allowed to slide down from the top of the chute 29, so that it is ejected.

The operation of the above embodiment will be explained. As shown in FIG. 3, the bead feeding device 2 is fitted and crowned in the receiving frame 11 of the bead-stitched toy, and the drive gear 64 exposed within the receiving frame 11 is engaged with the crown gear 28. The rotation of the crown gear 28 causes the stirring plate 24 to rotate, and if the required amount of beads B are stored in the container 22, the beads B will move between the stirring blade 241 and the recess 242.

It is rolled out on 9th. The beads B fed into the chute 29 are dammed by a dam plate 291. Then, by pressing the push button 292 once, the protruding piece 295 is moved to the bead between the protruding pieces 294 and 295 in FIG.
At the same time as B ₁ is discharged, the protruding piece 294 causes the bead B above it to newly slide down between the protruding pieces 294 and 295, and the protruding piece 295 dams the bead B above it. Thereafter, one bead B ₁ is ejected from the chute 29 each time the push button 292 is pressed once.

In addition, the general structure and operation of the bead string toy will be explained. First, in FIG. 3, a bead guide insertion mechanism 3 and a bead feeding mechanism 4 are housed inside the housing 1, and the beads B transferred by the bead feeding mechanism 4 are sequentially inserted into the filament T. In this bead interlocking toy, each of the mechanisms described above is interlocked by the drive of an electric motor, and a switch 5 for operating the electric motor is provided protruding from a housing 11. The function of this bead stringing toy will be explained based on FIG. Beads B are introduced into the guide cylinder 31 through the receiver 30 .
A sharp wire 41 is inserted into the guide tube 31 in the axial direction, and the hole of the bead B fits into the wire 41. However, the beads B do not fall uniformly within the guide cylinder 31 but fall in a random manner, and the holes of the beads B do not necessarily engage with the wire 41.
Therefore, in order to eliminate such inconvenience, a window hole 32 is bored in the guide tube 31, and a rocking plate 33 equipped with a protrusion 331 that appears and retracts inside the window hole 32 is provided so as to be movable horizontally and vertically. .

332 is a through hole into which a pin 341 drilled in the rotating plate 34 is fitted; 333 is an inclined protrusion that contacts an inclined protrusion 337 provided on the main body side 336; 334 is a swing shaft of the swing plate 33; 335 344 is a spring that biases the rotating plate 34 in one direction; 345 is a lever hanging from the rotating plate 34;
Reference numeral 46 denotes a through hole having a shape in which a small diameter hole and a large diameter hole through which the wire 41 is inserted are connected. The small diameter portion of the through hole 346 is a positioning hole for positioning the wire 41 in the center of the guide tube 31, and the large diameter portion has a long diameter through which the beads B can pass. The wire 41 is held vertically by rollers 42, 42 having circumferential grooves 421, and the rollers 42 are all connected to transmission gears 73, 73a, 80, 80 which rotate in synchronization.
a, 81, and 81a, and rotates symmetrically about the wire 41 as an axis of symmetry. A recess 422 into which the bead B is to be bitten is formed on the roller 42 so as to face each other, and the bead B inserted through the wire 41 is fed and moved. In addition, 72, 71, 7
0, 69, and 68 are drive systems for rotating the transmission gear 73, and are connected to the drive system that rotates the drive gear 64. This drive system includes a transmission gear 73
A cam 79 is pivotally attached to the shaft 74a of the rotating plate 34, and this cam 79 comes into contact with and separates from the lever 345 of the rotating plate 34, and pushes the rotating plate 34 against the force of the spring 344.
The rotating plate 34 is designed to reciprocate in the horizontal direction. Therefore, due to the reciprocating movement of the rotary plate 34, the shaft 344 of the rocking plate 33 slides in the elongated hole 335, and the inclined protrusion 333 is inclined with the slope of the inclined protrusion 337 provided on the main body side 336. The swing plate 33 swings horizontally and vertically. Therefore, the protrusion 331
moves from below to above within the window hole 32 and scoops up the beads B, adjusting the falling posture of the beads B so that the hole faces the wire 41. Furthermore, due to the reciprocating movement of the rotary plate 34, the wire 41 is relatively moved from the large diameter hole to the small diameter hole of the through hole 346, and the beads B are dropped in the large diameter hole, and the wire 41 is caused to fall in the small diameter hole. Hold the gold 41 at the axis of the guide tube 31,
Position it so that it faces the hole of bead B. The lower end of the wire 41 is wound and looped around two star wheels 43 and 43a, and the beads B are transferred between the tooth pitches and inserted into the hole 411 drilled at the end of the wire 41. It is adapted to be transferred to the connected filament T. Therefore, once the desired amount of beads B have been inserted into the filament T, the filament T can be removed from the wire 41, and the beads B can be removed.
This completes the threading process.

[Effect of idea]

According to the present invention described above, the desired number of beads can be accurately discharged from a plurality of containers storing predetermined amounts of beads for each color by pressing a button and supplied to the bead guide insertion mechanism. The threading work is done mechanically and quickly, and a large amount of beads can be supplied by color easily and quickly.
In addition, since this bead feeding device can be used as an attachment by attaching it to and removing it from the bead stringing toy, it is possible to prepare multiple bead feeding devices and use them while replacing them. It has effects such as being able to thread colored beads, promoting the diversification of bead handicrafts, and making it possible to create elaborate bead handicrafts.
