Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial Field of Application><<Purpose of the Invention>> The present invention relates to a hitting tool used in a game toy known as, for example, "Daruma Otoshi".

<Background of the invention> The Daruma-dropping toy has a top body that imitates a Daruma doll, and below it, several layers of stacked seat boards of a certain thickness are stacked, and the stacked seat boards are struck from the side with a mallet-like hitting tool. It is a toy where you can enjoy the skill of pulling out the doll, pulling it out, and repeating this process to lower the daruma, etc. on the top to the floor without tipping over. Conventionally, the hitting tool used for this has a mallet-like shape, and little special effort has been made in this area.

By the way, when you see animals such as cats pulling objects with their front legs, they skillfully snap the ends of their legs to scrape objects, which is visually very humorous. It is something. Based on the prediction that if such a behavior was reproduced in a toy used by young children, it would arouse further interest in the toy, the present inventor focused on the hitting device of the Daruma drop toy as an application of this behavior. However, we have found that there is room to reproduce this movement.

<Technical matters attempted to be developed> The present invention was made based on this background, and the tip of the hitting tool used in the Daruma Otoshi toy is not fixed, but moves in a constant manner. This is an attempt to develop a new hitting tool that has extremely interesting movements.

<<Structure of the invention>><Means for achieving the object> A hitting tool used for a Daruma drop-like toy, etc. according to the first invention of the present application includes a grip part and a hitting part on the distal end side thereof, and the hitting part is a part of the grip part. However, it is characterized in that it is rotatably attached at least toward the direction of the striking action.

In addition to the above-mentioned requirements, the striking part used in the Daruma-dropping toy etc. according to the second invention of the present application is capable of rotating freely in the direction of the striking action and elastically returning to the current position. It is characterized by being structured as follows.

These ideas are intended to achieve the above object.

<Operation of the invention> When the hitting tool of the invention is used to hit, for example, the stacked seat plate of a Daruma Otoshi toy from the side in a swinging manner, the hitting portion on the tip side rotates further independently of the grip portion. It acts as if it were scraping off the stacked seat boards and removes them.

<Example> The present invention will be specifically described below based on the illustrated example. Reference numeral 1 is the hitting tool of the present invention,
This item is used for a Daruma drop-like toy 2 as shown in FIG. First, to explain about this toy 2, this toy is made by stacking several relatively thick seat boards 4 against the top body 3 so that the top body 3 is placed in a high position.
For example, in this embodiment, the top body 3 takes a shape reproducing a cat in a sitting position because the hitting tool 1 moves in a manner imitating the legs of a cat or the like. Of course,
For example, it may be made into the shape of a daruma or the like as in the past. Then, using the hitting tool 1, the stacked seat board 4 is struck from the side to remove it and play. The hitting tool 1 has a rod-like shape as a whole, and can take any suitable shape, such as a shape imitating a cat's leg, or a conventional mallet shape. This device includes a grip part 10 and a striking part 11, which are connected at a rotational connection part 12 so that the striking part 11 can rotate at least in the direction of the striking action. Of course, it may be in a state where it can be freely bent in all directions. Various embodiments can be used for this rotational connection part 12. For example, the one shown in FIG. As well as rotating to
Constructed so that it can return to its current position. Of course, basically, the spring 14 may not be used and a simple rotatable structure may be used. In addition, the rotation fulcrum 13
The bracket is not limited to such a hinge-like type, but may also be a type in which rotating brackets B are combined and connected by a pin P as shown in Fig. 3, and this type is also used in the embodiments described later. Applicable. In addition, FIG. 4 shows various other types of rotational connection parts. First, the embodiment shown in FIG. A tension spring, which is an example of a spring 14 built into the spring 11, is interposed therebetween. Incidentally, instead of this tension spring, a rubber strap may be used as the spring 14 as shown in FIG. 4b. Further, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 4c, the rotation fulcrum 13 is provided at a position opposite to the direction of striking action, and a spring 14, which is a coil spring that acts in the spring compression direction, is compressed on the rotation direction side. It is. Of course, in this case, it is also possible to rotate toward the rotation fulcrum 13 side, and the spring 14 may be used so as to act in the direction of extension and strike the rotation fulcrum 13 side. Furthermore, in the one shown in FIG. 4d, the contact surface between the grip part 10 and the striking part 11 in the rotational connection part 12 is made into a spherical shape, that is, a so-called ball joint shape, and a leaf spring-like spring 14 is provided between them for connection. It is constructed so that it can rotate. In addition, the one shown in FIG. 4e is constructed so that a rubber block 15 is interposed in the rotational connection portion 12 so that the striking portion 11 can be rotated. In addition, without providing the rubber block 15 shown in FIG. 4e over the entire diameter,
As shown in FIG. 4f, it may be partially provided on the rotation direction side of the striking portion 11. In this case, the rear portions of the rubber block 15 are provided with stopper portions 10', 11' that substantially abut each other. Furthermore, the embodiment shown in FIG. 4g is a modification of the embodiment shown in FIG. 4e, in which the rubber block 15 is replaced with
A Koril spring is used as the spring 14. Further, Fig. 4h shows a case in which the coiled spring 14 is partially provided on the rotational direction side of the striking part 11, and Fig. 4i shows a case in which a plate spring is used instead of the coiled spring 14. It was applied. Note that a weight 16 made of relatively heavy brass, lead, or other metal, for example, may be provided inside the striking portion 11. Of course, it is also possible to construct the entire striking portion 11 from a sufficiently large material such as metal. Further, the embodiment shown in FIG. 6 is a reproduction of the conventional mallet-shaped hitting tool 1, and there is a space between the hitting part 11 and the grip part 10, for example, similar to the embodiment shown in FIG. 4e. Rubber block 15
This is to intervene.

The present invention has a specific structure as described above, and in each of the embodiments, the stacked seat plates 4 of the toy 2 are successively struck from the sides after confirming the direction of the striking action as before. Make sure to remove it.
At this time, in the present invention, since the striking part 11 can rotate independently of the grip part 10, the striking part 11 moves as if scraping off the stacked seat plate 4 at the moment of striking. Of course, if the rotating direction can be freely selected, such as one in which a rubber block 15 is applied to the rotating connecting portion 12 as shown in FIG.

<<Effects of the invention>> Since the present invention has the configuration described above,
When the stacked seat plate 4 of the Daruma-dropping toy 2 is hit with the hitting tool 1, the grip part 10
Since the striking part 11 rotates independently against the object, it reproduces the movement of an animal such as a cat with a snap, as if it were pulling an object, making it extremely visually humorous and appealing to young children. This arouses even more interest.
