Regarding toys.

[Technical Issues] Conventionally, elevator toys have had only one frame that can move up and down, and when the frame moves down, a car or the like is stored inside it and then moved up.
Furthermore, there was a space underneath the frame for storing other vehicles. Therefore, when ejecting a car, the procedure was to eject the lower part and then move the frame downward to eject the upper part.

However, according to this conventional example, only two cars can be stored in total, which is a small number of cars to be stored.Also, only one car can be transported in one round trip of the frame, which is poor in transportation efficiency, and therefore it is not suitable as an elevator toy. The problem was that it was simple and lacked interest.

[Means for solving technical problems] The present invention solves the above problems,
A frame group is housed in a block body so as to be movable up and down by a driving means, and the frame group has at least one inner frame whose vertical length is shorter than that of the rectangular slightly elongated outer frame. A frame is housed in a vertically movable manner, and a rocking plate is provided on the lower surface of each frame so that it can be rocked in a horizontal state at all times, and the block body is supported by left and right walls and front and rear walls. It has the shape of an upright rectangular parallelepiped, and has openings forming an inlet and an outlet on its front and rear surfaces, and the frame group is housed in the block body so as to be vertically movable,
A rocking plate similar to the rocking plate of the frame group is swingably provided on the lower surface between the inlet and the outlet of the block body, and this rocking plate and each rocking plate of the frame group are vertically opposed to each other at a height interval of the inner frame and are movable toward and away from each other, and the drive swing is linked to the inner frame of the frame group and moves the inner frame up and down within the outer frame. The block body is provided in the block body adjacent to the frame group, and facing the frame group. A guide plate for an automobile or the like is provided on the block body so as to move the automobile or the like by its own weight onto each of the swing plates in the block body and the frame body, facing the entrance surface of the block body. is capable of freely tilting downward toward the exit opening in order to sequentially discharge the automobiles, etc. on each rocking plate outward by their own weight from the exit opening on the opposite side of the entrance by the tilting operation. This is an elevator toy designed to look like this.

[Example] Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

1 and 2 are a partially cutaway front view and a side view of an embodiment of the elevator toy according to the present invention, FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the main part thereof, and FIGS. 4 and 5 are respectively It is a perspective view of the form of a city and the form of a base of a deformed toy to which the above-mentioned elevator toy is applied.

In FIGS. 4 and 5, the deformed toy has an elevator toy 7 housed inside a building block 1, and street blocks 2a and 2b attached to both left and right sides thereof. Furthermore, these street block bodies 2a, 2
Street block bodies 3a, 3b of other shapes are attached to b, and each block body 1, 2a, 2b, 3a, 3b is three-dimensionally connected by a plurality of connecting members 4, 4, . . . in the shape of a running road. It has been done.

That is, each block body 1, 2a, 2b, 3a, 3
b has the form of city buildings, streets, etc., as well as hidden elements of the form of bases such as missiles 5, radar 6, etc.
It is now possible to change the form of the base between the forms shown in the figure.

Next, elevator toy 7 of building block body 1
will be explained with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. The building block body 1 has the shape of an upright rectangular parallelepiped, and has front and rear walls 1.
a, 1b, left and right walls 1c, 1d, a ceiling plate 1e, a lower plate 1f, a bottom plate 1g, a rear frame 1h, etc. Also front wall 1
a has three openings 1a-1, 1a- at the top, middle, and bottom
2, 1a-3, and the upper two openings 1a-
A transparent plastic plate 18 is fitted into each of the parts 1 and 1a-2.

The elevator toy 7 has the above-mentioned walls 1a to 1d,
Screw shaft 8 and its drive mechanism 11, outer frame 9,
It is roughly composed of an inner frame 10. The screw shaft 8 has a screw part 8a, and has a ceiling plate 1e and a lower plate 1f.
It stands upright and is rotatably supported in between.

The drive mechanism 11 includes a manual rotary plate 14 (having a manual part 14a and a face gear 14b) supported on the left wall 1d, intermediate gears 15 and 16, and a gear 17 coaxial with the screw shaft 8, and these gears mesh in sequence. ing.

The outer frame 9 (having a height of 2l) has a vertical groove 9a on the right side.
It further has a swing plate 12 on which a car 30 is mounted. The swing plate 12 is pivotally supported by the lower plate part of the outer frame 9 by a pin 13, and swings downward due to its own weight.
Since the stopper 12a abuts against the lower surface of the lower plate portion of the outer frame 9, it is normally on the same plane as the lower plate portions of the outer frame 9 and the inner frame 10, that is, in a horizontal state. The inner frame 10 has approximately half the height of the outer frame 9, and is fitted into the outer frame 9 so as to be vertically movable.
0a passes through the vertical groove 9a of the outer frame 9.

Next, to explain how to assemble both the frames 9 and 10 to the building block body 1, first, both the frames 9 and 10 are attached to the front wall 1a and the left and right walls 1 of the building block body 1 in a fitted state.
c and 1d, and are movable up and down.
At this time, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the pins 10a of the inner frame 10 first engage with the upper part of the screw portion 8a due to their own weight and are held at a desired height, and then the outer frame 9 moves down due to its own weight. The upper plate part of the outer frame 9 comes into contact with the upper plate part of the inner frame 10 and is held at an arbitrary height. Therefore, at this time, the space within the inner frame 10 and the inner frame 1
Three vehicle storage spaces are formed in the vertical direction: a space between the lower plate part of the outer frame 9 and the lower plate part of the outer frame 9, and a space between the lower plate part of the outer frame 9 and the lower plate 1f. Further, a similar swing plate 12 is provided on the lower plate 1f.

Furthermore, as another mechanism, 21 is the lowermost swing plate 12
Drive plate for driving, lower plate 1f of building block body 1
The lower part of the
It is located at the position indicated by the solid line in the figure. This drive plate 21 is
It has a stopper plate 21a on the front front, a pushing part 21b on the front right side, and a driving part 21c on the rear side, and as shown in FIG. 4, the stopper plate 21a penetrates the lower plate 1f and projects to the front of the lower opening 1a-3. , and the pressing portion 21b similarly protrudes. Further, the drive portion 21c corresponds to the lower rear portion of the lowermost swing plate 12.

Next, 24 is an L-shaped automobile guide plate, and the second
In the figure, the building block body 1 is pivotally supported within the rear frame 1h by a pin 25 and is swingable, and a coil spring 26
Normally, it is energized by the two-dot chain line in Fig. 2,
That is, it is at the same level as the connecting member 4 in the upward swinging position. A push button 27 is inserted horizontally into the rear frame 1h and corresponds to the guide plate 24.

Further, 28 is another automobile guide plate, which has a lower opening 1.
The car coming out of a-3 is guided to the outside of the building block body 1.

Next, the operation of the elevator toy 7 will be explained, starting with the car storage operation. All rocking plates 12
Assuming that no automobile is placed on the drive mechanism 11, the screw shaft 8 is rotated to its limit in the direction of arrow A. Then, from the state shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the pin 10a is guided by the screw part 8a, and the outer frame 9 and the inner frame 10 move downward as one.
The lower plate comes into contact with the lower plate 1f and stops. next,
Only the inner frame 10 moves downward and moves relatively from above to below within the outer frame 9, and the lower plate portion of the inner frame 10 abuts the lower plate portion of the outer frame 9. That is, the three swing plates 12 are stacked on top of each other. At this time, the first vehicle 29 is connected to the L-shaped vehicle guide plate 2 via the rear connecting member 4.
Suppose you are guided by 4.

Here, when the push button 27 is pressed, the L-shaped automobile guide plate 24 in FIG. 2 swings downward against the coil spring 26 and becomes inclined as shown by the solid line in FIG. Therefore, the vehicle 29 travels along the vehicle guide plate 24 to the right (i.e., forward) in the figure due to its own weight, moves onto the swing plate 12 of the inner frame 10 (i.e., the first space), and moves to the stop plate 12 (i.e., the first space). 21a and stops. Subsequently, when the push button 27 is released, the L-shaped automobile guide plate 24 and the push button 27 are returned to their original positions by the coil springs 26.

Next, when the manual rotating plate 14 of the drive mechanism 11 is rotated in the direction of arrow C by operating the manual part 14a, the screw shaft 8 is rotated in the direction of arrow B via each gear 14b, 15, 16, and 17. Therefore, pin 1
0a is guided by the screw portion 8a, and only the inner frame 10 moves upward by a height l with the automobile 29 placed on its swing plate 12. Then, the rotation of the screw shaft 8 is stopped when the upper plate part of the inner frame 10 comes into contact with the upper plate part of the outer frame 9. As a result, the inner frame 10
A second space is formed between the lower plate part of the outer frame 9 and the lower plate part of the outer frame 9.

Next, in the same manner, the second automobile 30 is guided to the rear L-shaped guide plate 24, and similarly guided to the second space, that is, onto the rocking plate 12 of the outer frame 9 by operating the push button 27. Subsequently, the drive mechanism 11
When the screw shaft 8 is rotated in the direction of arrow B, the inner frame 10 continues to move upward in the same way, but this time the outer frame 9 also moves upward together with the automobile 30 placed on its swing plate 12. In the end, it moves up by a further height of 1.
Next, in exactly the same manner as in the above case, a third automobile (not shown) is guided from the L-shaped guide plate 24 to the third space, that is, onto the swing plate 12 of the lower plate 1f. As a result, three cars are housed in the elevator toy 7 in the vertical direction.

Next, a description will be given of the discharge work for automobiles. First, the pressing portion 21b of the drive plate 21 is pressed down with a finger, and the drive plate 21 is swung to the position indicated by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 2 against the coil spring 23. Then, stopper plate 2
1a moves downward to the same or lower level as the lower plate 1f, and the driving part 21c moves upward to push up and swing the rear part of the rocking plate 12 of the lower plate 1f, resulting in the two points in FIG. It is made to be in a tilted state as shown by the chain line.

Therefore, the third vehicle travels forward due to its own weight, and since there is no stopper plate 21a, it is guided to the outside of the building block body 1 through the lower opening 1a-3 by the guide of the vehicle guide plate 28. Here, when the pressing part 21b is released, the drive plate 21
is returned to the position shown by the solid line in FIG. 2 by the coil spring 23, and thereby the stopper plate 21a is also returned to the protruding position, and the swing plate 12 of the lower plate 1f is brought into a horizontal state with its stopper 12a abutting against the lower plate 1f. Return. Next, move the manual rotary plate 14 in the direction indicated by the arrow D.
direction, and the screw shaft 8 is reversely rotated in the direction of arrow A via the drive mechanism 11. Then, the outer frame 9 and the inner frame 10 integrally move downward by a height l while remaining in the state shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, and the lower plate portion of the outer frame 9 first comes into contact with the lower plate 1f. At this point, the rotation of the screw shaft 8 is also stopped. At this time, the second automobile 30 will not protrude outward due to the function of the stopper plate 21a, regardless of whether there is a stop shock.

Next, when the pressing part 21b of the drive plate 21 is pushed down again, the drive plate 21 swings in the same way, and the swing plate 12 of the outer frame 9 swings integrally with the swing plate 12 of the lower plate 1f. Moreover, the stopper plate 21a moves downward. Therefore, the second car 29 is similarly ejected to the outside, and then the drive plate 21 and the two lower rocking plates 12
They also return to their respective swinging motions.

Next, in the same manner, when the screw shaft 8 is further rotated in the direction of arrow A by the drive mechanism 11, only the inner frame 10 is further moved down by a height l, and the inner frame 10 is
The lower plate portion of the outer frame 9 comes into contact with the lower plate portion of the outer frame 9 . At this time, the third vehicle 30 also does not protrude outward due to the stopper plate 21a.

Next, in exactly the same manner as above, drive plate 2
The three swing plates 12 are rotated together by the swing of the third car 30, and the third car 30 is ejected to the outside.

As a result, all cars have building block body 1.
However, the condition of the elevator toy 7 is exactly the same as the initial condition, and in order to store the car again, the same procedure as described above can be performed.

According to the above-mentioned embodiment, the frame body is not one, but has a double outer frame 9 and an inner frame 10, and the inner frame 10 is replaced by the outer frame 9.
Since it is relatively movable within the inner frame, a new car storage space can be created between the lower plate part of the outer frame 9 and the lower plate part of the inner frame 10, and the lower plate part of the frame body 9 and the lower plate 1f can be created. Since a new space is created in between, it is possible to form a high-level car storage block, which also improves the efficiency of transporting cars, making it more interesting as a toy.

The frame body is not limited to a double frame body consisting of the outer frame 9 and the inner frame 10, but it is of course possible to use a triple or more frame body, and the principle is the same except that the operating procedure is increased.

Furthermore, the configuration of the pin 10a and the screw shaft 8 is not limited to this, and any means that drives the innermost inner frame 10 in the vertical direction may be used. One end of the rotated rope may be connected to the upper plate portion of the inner frame 9 through a hole in the upper plate portion of the outer frame 9 to rotate the pulley.
Further, a convex portion provided on a base wound between the base wheels fixed to the ceiling plate 1e and the lower plate 1f of the building block body 1, respectively, is fixed to the side of the inner frame 10 via the longitudinal groove 9a of the outer frame 9, and the belt The car may be driven to rotate. Various other means for vertical movement are possible.

Further, the drive mechanism 11 of the above embodiment has a manual rotary plate 1
4 is operated manually, but it may be driven by a motor, spring, etc.

Further, in the above embodiment, a plurality of cars are stored in the elevator toy 7, but the present invention is not limited to this, and other objects may be stored.

[Effects of the invention] As explained above, the present invention makes it possible to drive the inner frame in the vertical direction in a frame group formed by storing a plurality of frames of different heights in a superposed manner, and to move the inner frame to the outside. By moving up and down with the frame, it is possible to efficiently store automobiles and the like in the vertical direction, and transportation efficiency is improved, so it has the advantage of being extremely interesting as a toy and attracting the interest of customers.

Moreover, since the present invention is provided with a tiltable guide plate for automobiles, etc. at the entrance of the case, the automobile, etc. automatically moves by its own weight onto the rocking plate inside the frame, and the rocking plate of the frame body opens at the exit. Since the elevator can be tilted freely toward the front, the vehicle or the like on the rocking plate is automatically ejected outward by this tilting operation, making it even more interesting as an elevator toy.
