The conventional gyro top can be used only for frame play, and there is a problem that it is not interesting.

This invention was devised in view of the above circumstances,
Its purpose is to make a rectangular flat case with a curved floor contact piece that does not stand upright, by applying the principle of the gyro, running horizontally standing upside down, or rotating in a state of being suspended vertically with a string, or It is intended to provide a highly entertaining rotary actuation toy capable of horizontally rotating around a frame shaft body in a horizontal state.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a rotary actuating toy according to the present invention comprises a plurality of floor contact protrusions curved in an arc shape in the width direction on the outer surface of a long side and one side wall of a flat enclosure having a rectangular shape. A pair of left and right floor-contacting projections, which project from the outer surface of the other side wall of the long side and bend in an arc shape in the lengthwise direction, are projected on the outer surface of the other side wall of the long side and the other side wall of the long side. In addition to providing a gear exposure hole at the center position between the protruding pieces of the case, a rack rod insertion guide path whose left and right ends open to both short side walls is provided at the center of the inner surface of the rectangular front side wall of the case. A large diameter flywheel rotatably supported by the case center bearing portion, a pinion partially exposed to the rack rod insertion guide path and rotating coaxially with the flywheel, and the pinion meshes with the case. A shaft supported so that it is partially exposed to the outside from the gear exposure hole. A wheel gear of a medium diameter to be rotated is provided, and a top shaft body having a string attachment portion and a rotary floor contact fulcrum portion is fixed to an outward protruding state at a center position of one of the front and rear side walls of the case. The rack rod insertion guideway of the case is provided with a long rotation driving rack rod which is inserted from one end opening portion and meshes with the pinion so as to be manually pulled.

[Action]

The rotary actuating toy of the above-mentioned structure is such that the outer case is held by one hand and the rack rod is held by the other hand, and the rack rod is inserted into the rack rod insertion guide path of the case from one end opening portion, and then the rack rod is inserted. When the rod is pulled strongly by pulling it in the direction opposite to the insertion direction, the flywheel rotates at a high speed due to the engagement of the rack teeth and the pinion, and the wheel gear rotates in the direction opposite to the rotation direction of the flywheel. When the outer case is placed in a horizontal state so that the wheel gear is in contact with the floor,
This outer case stands upside down on the principle of a gyro by the high speed rotation of the flywheel, and the rotation of the wheel gear that touches the floor causes the one-sided floor-contacting projection piece to run in the horizontal state while touching the floor. When the flywheel is rotating at high speed, the enclosure case is placed in a horizontal position so that the curved floor contacting piece on one side of the long side touches the floor, and this enclosure case is placed horizontally by the gyro principle due to the high-speed rotation of the flywheel. When the flywheel is rotating at a high speed, the envelope case is hung vertically with a string attached to the frame shaft body. This envelope case causes the flywheel to rotate at a high speed. If the flywheel is rotated at high speed, the enclosure case is placed horizontally so that the frame body comes into contact with the floor. Covering case is operate to horizontally rotate around the frame shaft gyro principle by high speed rotation of the flywheel.

The floor-contacting projecting pieces 4a, 4b, 4c are symmetrically projected at regular intervals in the lengthwise direction, and the outer surface of the long side other side wall 5 extends in the lengthwise direction as shown in FIG. A pair of left and right floor-contacting projecting pieces 5a, 5b curved in an arc shape are provided in a protruding manner, and a gear exposing hole 6 is provided in the center of the long side other side wall 5 located between the projecting pieces 5a, 5b. Further, at the center of the inner surface of the rectangular front side wall 7 of the case 1 (front side case body 2), there are rack rod insertion guide paths 10 whose left and right ends are opened to both side walls 8 and 9 of the short side of the case. Is formed as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.

Reference numeral 11 is a large-diameter flywheel that is rotated at high speed in the outer case 1, and is formed of a large-mass metal disk rotatably supported by the central bearing portions 2a and 3a of the outer case 1. 12 is a small diameter pinion that rotates coaxially with this flywheel, and this pinion 12 is a rack rod insertion guide path 10
The guide plate 10b is located at the center contact / separation portion so as to be partially exposed. Reference numeral 13 denotes a medium-diameter wheel gear that meshes with the pinion 12 and is partially exposed to the outside from the gear exposure hole 6 of the case 1. The wheel gear 13 is located inside the case 1 so as to rotate in conjunction with the case. The bearing 2b of the body 2 is axially supported as shown in FIG. 2, but the exposed height from the long side wall 5 of the case is slightly higher than the protruding height of the floor-contacting projections 5a and 5b.

Reference numeral 14 is a rack rod for driving rotation, which is inserted into the rack rod insertion guide path 10 of the case 1 through an opening at one end and can be pulled by hand, and has a long length. The rack tooth 14a meshes with the pinion 12.
And a synthetic resin molded product having a finger-holding operation portion 14b. Reference numeral 15 denotes a frame shaft that is inserted and fixed in a state in which it protrudes outward in a center position of one of the front and rear side walls of the case 1 (both insertion holes 2c, 2d sandwiching the center bearing portion 2a of the front case body 2 in the embodiment).
