Has been done.

Next, a disk 15 is fixed to the lower part of the head 4 attached to the body 3, and a hollow support shaft 16 is provided in a penetrating state at the center of the disk 15. ing. The lower portion of the support shaft 16 is loosely fitted into a through hole 12 provided in the neck surface 11 of the body portion 3 so as not to be removed. A bearing portion 17 is formed in the center of the front portion of the upper surface of the disc 15, and a through hole 18 is formed in the rear portion thereof. Further, an engaging shaft 19 is vertically provided on the lower surface of the disk 15 near the through hole 18.

A lower beak 5a of the beak portion 5 is formed so as to be openable and closable via a support shaft 21, and the support shaft 21 is pivotally supported by a bearing portion 17 provided on the upper surface of the disc 15. An engaging recess 22 is formed at the rear end of the lower beak 5a.

Reference numeral 23 indicates a shaft member slidably arranged in the hollow support shaft 16. The tip of the shaft member 23 is located in the head 4 and the engaging plate 24 is fixed. There is. The tip of the engaging plate 24 is engaged with the engaging recess 22 provided in the lower beak 5a. The rear end of the shaft member 23 is located in the body portion 3 and the engaging piece 25 is fixed. An elastic member 26 is provided on the upper surface of the engagement plate 24, and the tip of the elastic member 26 is in contact with the upper inner surface of the head 4. In the above, the lower beak 5a can be opened and closed by vertically moving the shaft member 23.

Next, the drive device 6 is housed in the body part 3 and the lower part thereof is arranged between the leg parts 2, 2. The drive device 6 includes a motor 29 and a plurality of reduction gears having the motor 29 as a drive source supported by a machine frame 30. A shaft member 7 connecting the leg portions 2 is loosely inserted in a through hole 31 provided in a lateral direction of the center of the lower portion of the machine frame 30. Further, the cam members 33, 34 are fixed to the gear shaft 32 of one of the plurality of reduction gears, and the engagement piece 25 provided at the rear end of the shaft member 23 abuts on one of the cam members 33. At the same time, the engagement shaft 19 provided on the lower surface of the disc 15 is releasably abutted on the other cam member 34.

A leaf spring 36 is provided at the center of the upper portion of the machine frame 30. The leaf spring 36 penetrates through an arc-shaped guide hole 13 provided in the neck surface 11 of the body portion 2 and has a circular plate 15 It projects above the through hole 18. The leaf spring 36 always biases in the returning direction when the head 4 is operated.

On the outside of the cam member 34, another gear 37 of a plurality of reduction gears is fixed coaxially with the cam member 34, and the gear 37 is further provided with another gear 38. It is meshed. Engaging shafts 39 and 40 are provided on the inner surface of the gear 38 near the outer periphery with a predetermined gap. When the gear 38 rotates, the engaging shafts 39, 40 engage with the engaging piece 8 of the other leg 2 in a pressed state to move the body 3 back and forth.

Since the bird toy 1 is configured as described above, in using the bird toy 1, first, as shown in FIG. 1, the bird toy 1 is placed on the perch 41 fixed to the support body 42, and the legs 2, The lower part of 2 is fixed by appropriate means.

Next, the operation of each part of the bird toy 1 will be described. By controlling the motor 29 of the drive device 6, a plurality of reduction gears are rotated and fixed to one gear shaft 32 of the infield. The cam members 33, 34 and the one gear 38 rotate in the same manner.

The rear end of the shaft member 23 is brought into contact with one of the cam members 33, and the engagement plate 24 provided at the tip of the shaft member 23 is engaged with the base end of the lower beak 5a. The shaft member 23 moves up and down by the rotation of the cam member 33, so that the lower beak 5a can be opened or closed against the elasticity of the elastic member 26.
