In such a manner, generation of bubbles caused by a steep flow-down and a collision can be expressed really without using a liquid.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention is suitable for realistically expressing a toy that imitates the falling phenomenon of liquid or granules and enjoys its interests, in particular, a waterfall downfall or a "Peeing boy" doll. It is about falling toys.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Toys and devices that express the interest of liquid or granule spillage phenomena include, for example, shishidoshi,
"Sozu"), water wheel, hourglass, etc. have been known for a long time. "Deer Odoshi" is a seesaw-shaped shaft supported with one end of the bamboo tube open and one end sealed, and with no water flowing in, with the open end up and the sealed end down. Further, water is poured into the bamboo cylinder from the upper opening end, and when the inside of the cylinder is full, the bamboo cylinder is tilted so that the opening end is downward and the sealing end is upward. Then, when the water in the cylinder flows out of the opening all at once, and when the bamboo cylinder swings and returns to the original state, the sealing end side hits the lower stone to make a loud noise. This deer odor is usually built in a part of the garden to enjoy the atmosphere, but it can also be configured as a miniature toy that can be placed on the table.

In addition, a water turbine has a rotating disc around the
The tub is arranged around the tub at regular intervals, and water is made to flow down into the tub by using a raft (a gutter that guides the water flow to a predetermined position). Then, due to the asymmetry of the weight brought by the water accumulated in the tub, the disk is rotated, and at the same time, the water is dropped from the tub that has moved downward, so that the enjoyment of the entertainment is enjoyed. Water wheels range in size from reaching the roof of a house to riding on the palm.

An hourglass is a type of toy that allows the enjoyment of such a falling stream to be enjoyed on a table. In the hourglass, a pair of upper and lower sand storage chambers are provided in a frame body that is configured to be upside down, and both storage chambers are connected by a bottleneck. In addition, the sand component, particle size, bottleneck diameter, etc. are set in advance so that the time it takes for the sand to flow down from one storage chamber to the other storage chamber is always constant (for example, 1 minute). . And
Every time you flip the frame, while enjoying the enjoyment of sand flow,
It is designed to be able to measure a predetermined time.

[0005] The urine "Piss Pis", which imitates the appearance of a naked boy standing and pissing, has a fountain means in the urinary organ of the doll to form a fountain that has a unique interest. If this type of doll could be made compact, it would be a falling toy on a table. In addition, there is a quicksand toy configured such that colored sand flows down along a plurality of flow paths in the gap between the transparent glass plate and the back plate on which a picture is drawn.

[0006]

Among the above-mentioned conventional drop toys, for example, deer puppets, waterwheels, and "Pissing kid" dolls have been required to continuously supply fluid from the outside.
In particular, the desktop type device has a complicated and expensive device using a water flow pump and is not suitable as a toy.

On the other hand, an hourglass or the like does not require power and has a simple structure, and is widely popular as a small and inexpensive toy. However, in the case of the hourglass, the sand simply vertically drops on the bottleneck connecting the two storage chambers, and does not express the dynamism of the flow. In this respect, it has a drawback that it is far from the interest of falling water in deer puppets and watermills.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above points, the present invention has an object to provide a falling toy that can realistically express various falling phenomena while having a simple and inexpensive structure.

[0009]

In order to achieve the above object, the falling toy of the present invention has a cylindrical body having a transparent window on the front, and a top plate, a screen plate, and a front plate which are inclined downward toward the rear. The screen is divided into a falling chamber and a reflux chamber by a downwardly inclined bottom plate, a fluid tray is provided on the back side of the screen plate, and an outlet communicating with the tray is provided on the front side, and the outlet is provided on the bottom plate. By providing a recirculation port that guides the fluid that flows down to the recirculation chamber through the transparent window, you can watch the flow in the recirculation chamber through the transparent window, and simply reverse the cylinder to recirculate the fluid in the recirculation chamber to its saucer. It was made possible.

Further, the fluid is composed of glass beads having an average particle diameter of 1.0 mm or less so that a water flow or a foam can be realistically expressed without using a liquid. Also,
A landscape image of a waterfall is provided on the front side of the screen plate, and the outflow port is provided at a waterfall mouth portion of the landscape image so that the downflow can be regarded as a miniature waterfall.

Also, a "Pissing Boy" doll is provided on the front side of the screen plate, and the outlet is provided at the fountain part of the doll, so that it can be regarded as a miniature "Peeing Boy" fountain without using power. It was done like this.
