Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a hanging toy, and more particularly to a hanging toy for infants provided with a light source.

[0002]

[Problems to be solved by conventional techniques and devices]

 Conventionally, as a toy provided with a light emitting source, there is, for example, a lighting device for a toy described in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 1-112898. That is, in the above-described lighting device for a toy, a translucent dome body colored in milky white except for a transparent pattern portion is attached to a base on which a drive mechanism and a light bulb are installed, and the drive mechanism is used. By rotating the dome body and turning on the light bulb, light rays that have passed through the transparent pattern portion are projected to the outside of the dome body. However, since this toy lighting device is a stationary type that is used by placing it on the floor or desk, it requires a place to install it on the floor or the like. In addition, when it is installed on the floor or the like, it is easily damaged by mischief such as a child or an adult accidentally stepping on it.

In view of the above problems, it is an object of the present invention to provide a hanging toy that does not need to be installed on the floor or the like and is not damaged by a child's mischief or the like.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, the hanging toy according to the present invention is provided with an umbrella body that is hung from a ceiling or the like and that has a light-transmitting portion at least in part, and a light-emitting source at approximately the center of the upper surface. Further, the peripheral edge portion of the upper surface is configured to include a light emitting body suspended from the peripheral edge portion of the lower surface of the umbrella body via a plurality of suspending means.

[0005]

[Action]

 Therefore, according to the hanging toy according to the present invention, a shadow picture is projected on the surface of the ceiling or the like through the transparent portion of the umbrella body.

[0006]

【Example】

 Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings of FIGS. The hanging toy according to this embodiment is roughly composed of an umbrella body 10 and a light emitting body 20.

The umbrella body 10 is a dome-shaped thin-walled resin molded product, and is designed to be impermeable to light except for a transparent pattern portion (not shown) having a shape imitating animals, plants, stars, etc. A translucent chromatic color paint is applied to the imitation portion. Further, the umbrella body 10 is suspended by suspending the suspending tool 11 provided on the top thereof on a curved ball 40 suspended from a ceiling or the like. Further, the umbrella body 10 has a collar portion 12 fixed to the opening edge portion with a screw 13, and a hook 14 is engaged with the collar portion 12. In addition, it is not necessary to apply a translucent coating material to all of the pattern portions, and if necessary, the coating material may be colorless and transparent without applying a coating material.

The light-emitting body 20 is a bowl-shaped thin-walled resin molded product, and the hanging tool 21 is dropped from the opening into the hole on the bottom surface, and then the battery storage case 22 is fitted, and the dry battery 23 is stored therein. After that, a lid 26 incorporating a light bulb 25 is fitted and closed in the opening of the case 22. The light bulb 25 is projected from the center of a concave surface 26 a provided in the substantially central portion of the lid 26 and is covered with a transparent cover 27. Further, the light emitting body 20 has hooks 28 arranged on the upper edge of the case 22.

Then, one end of the hanging string 30 is tied to the hook 28 of the case 22, while the other end is tied to the hook 14 engaged with the flange portion 12 of the umbrella body 10, whereby the light emitting body 20 is provided. It is hung from the umbrella body 10 via four hanging strings 30.

Next, when the light bulb 25 is turned on by turning on the switch 29, the entire inner surface of the umbrella body 10 is irradiated with light, and the light transmitted through the pattern portion of the umbrella body 10 is transferred to the ceiling surface of an animal or the like. A shadow picture with a shape imitating is projected in chromatic colors. Further, when the music ball 40 is operated by pulling a string (not shown) tied to the hanging member 21 of the light emitting body 20, the music ball 40 rotates while making a melody sound, so that the above-mentioned shadow image projected on the ceiling surface is also displayed. Rotate.

In the present embodiment, the case where the light bulb 25 is rotated while being turned on has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the musical piece 40 is operated without turning on the light bulb 25 to rotate while playing a melody sound. Alternatively, the light bulb 25 may be turned on and used without operating the curved ball 40.

According to this embodiment, since the umbrella body 10 is close to the ceiling surface, there is an advantage that a clearer and more vivid shadow picture is projected on the ceiling surface as compared with the conventional example.

It should be noted that the dome-shaped umbrella body 10 is used in the above-described embodiment, but the invention is not limited to this, and a conical or disc-shaped umbrella body may be used, for example. Further, the hanging means is not limited to the thread-shaped hanging string 30, but may be a tape-shaped one or a wedge-shaped one. Furthermore, the umbrella body 10 does not necessarily have to be hung on the curved ball 40, and may be hung by a rotating means having only a rotating function.

[0014]

[Effect of device]

 As is clear from the above description, since the hanging toy according to the present invention is used by being hung from the ceiling or the like, it does not require a place for installation on the floor or the like unlike the conventional example. Moreover, since the hanging toy according to the present invention is hung on the ceiling or the like, there is an effect that it is not damaged by a child's mischief or the like.
