  Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the top toy 10 according to the present embodiment includes two rotating bodies 20 that rotate independently, two case bodies 11 that hold the two rotating bodies 20 rotatably, And a connecting portion 30 that is provided between the two case bodies 11 and connects the two rotating bodies 20.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the case body 11 is formed by screwing an upper cover 12 and a lower cover 13 with cover fixing screws 16. The case body 11 has a front and rear belt insertion openings 11a formed therein, and a belt insertion passage 11b is formed so that the front and rear belt insertion openings 11a communicate with each other. This belt insertion path 11b is for letting the belt body 40 mentioned later pass.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the rotating body 20 includes a rotating shaft 21 projecting downward from the case body 11, a disc-shaped body portion 22 fixed to the rotating shaft 21, and a rotating shaft 21 further below the body portion 22. And a tip portion 23 fixed to the head. As will be described later, the rotating body 20 is fixed so that the rotating shaft 21, the body portion 22, and the tip portion 23 rotate integrally when a rotating force is applied to the rotating shaft 21.

  In addition, the body part 22 in this embodiment protrudes outside the case body 11 in a plan view as shown in FIG. 1 and is formed of a metal. When the plurality of top toys 10 are simultaneously rotated and played, The top toy 10 is formed so as to be able to play by causing the metal body portions 22 to collide with each other.

  In addition, the lower surface of the distal end portion 23 in this embodiment is formed as a curved surface as shown in FIG. 2, and is formed so as to be grounded and rotated on this curved surface. For this reason, when the rotating shaft 21 is inclined, the peripheral side surface of the curved surface is grounded and rotated.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the connecting portion 30 is a member in which connecting end portions 32 protrude from both sides of a central bridge 31. The connection end portion 32 is formed to have a size that can be accommodated in the connection holding portion 13b (see FIG. 3) of the case body 11, and the screw hole 32a is formed at a position corresponding to the connection screw hole 13c of the connection holding portion 13b. It is formed through. As a result, the connecting portion 30 is fastened and fixed with the connecting screw 17 so as to pass through the connecting screw hole 13c and the screw hole 32a after the connecting portion 30 is inserted into the connecting holding portion 13b of the case body 11. By doing so, it is formed so that it can be connected to the case body 11. When using the top toy 10, as shown in FIG.1 and FIG.2, the two rotary bodies 20 are connected by connecting the case body 11 to the connection part 30 of both sides, respectively.

  As shown in FIG. 3, a groove portion 13a that forms a belt insertion path 11b is recessed in the case body 11, and a gear housing portion 13d is recessed so as to overlap the groove portion 13a. ing. Two gears of the first gear 14 and the second gear 15 are arranged in mesh with each other in the gear housing portion 13d.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the first gear 14 is pivotally supported by the case body 11 so as to be rotatable about the first rotation shaft 14 a. The first gear 14 is pivotally supported so that a part of the teeth is positioned on the belt insertion path 11b, whereby the rack gear of the belt body 40 is inserted when the belt body 40 is inserted into the belt insertion path 11b. 41 (described later).

  The second gear 15 rotates integrally with the rotating shaft 21 around the rotating shaft 21 of the rotating body 20. That is, when the second gear 15 rotates, the rotating gear integrally rotates. 20 is formed to rotate.

  In FIG. 3, only the lower cover 13 is shown for convenience of explanation, but the upper cover 12 also has a groove portion 13a, a connection clamping portion 13b, a connection screw hole 13c, A gear housing portion 13d and a cover fixing screw hole 13e are formed. The upper cover 12 and the lower cover 13 are fixed in a state where they are overlapped by screwing a cover fixing screw 16 into a cover fixing screw hole 13e provided at a position facing each other. The case body 11 is configured with the 14 and the second gear 15 housed therein.

  By the way, as shown in FIG. 5 (b), the connecting portion 30 described above is such that the protruding directions of the connecting end portions 32 on both sides are not horizontal but have a certain inclination. The rotating body 20 is formed to be held at an angle (see FIG. 2). For this reason, the rotating shafts 21 of the two rotating bodies 20 are not parallel to each other, and are inclined in a direction away from each other as the rotating shafts 21 move downward when viewed in the direction in which the rotating bodies 20 are arranged side by side. In the present embodiment, the inclination of the bridge 31 of the connecting portion 30 (see the front view inclination D1 in FIG. 5 (b)) is set to 20 degrees, whereby the two rotating bodies 20 are 20 degrees in the opening direction. It has an inclination.

  When the top toy 10 is operated, a belt body 40 as shown in FIG. 6 is used. The belt body 40 is an urging means for applying a rotational force to the two rotating bodies 20 and includes a rack gear 41 that meshes with the first gear 14 described above, and a gripping handle 42 at one end. It is provided.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6A, the belt body 40 is inserted from the belt insertion port 11a of the case body 11 and penetrates through the belt insertion path 11b. At this time, the belt body 40 is inserted with its front and back aligned so that the rack gear 41 of the belt body 40 meshes with the first gear 14. And as shown in FIG.6 (b), the 1st gearwheel 14 is rotated by pulling out the belt body 40 at a stretch. When the first gear 14 rotates, the second gear 15 that meshes with the first gear 14 rotates, and the rotating body 20 rotates.

  Since the two rotating bodies 20 rotate independently from each other, the application of the rotational force by the belt body 40 is performed on each of the two rotating bodies 20. At this time, if the pulling speed of the belt body 40 is adjusted, a rotational force can be applied to the rotating body 20 so that the rotating speeds of the two rotating bodies 20 are different. Further, the rotation of the rotating body 20 depends on the insertion direction of the belt body 40 (whether the belt body 40 is inserted from the belt insertion port 11a on the front side or the belt body 40 is inserted from the belt insertion port 11a on the back side). The direction can also be changed, and a rotational force can be applied to the rotating body 20 so that the rotating directions of the two rotating bodies 20 are different.

  7 and 8 show the operation when the rotational speed and direction of the rotary body 20 are changed in the top toy 10 in which the two rotary bodies 20 are connected using the connecting portion 30 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. It is a figure which shows an example.

  Fig.7 (a) is a figure which shows the action | operation of the top toy 10 at the time of rotating the two rotary bodies 20 in the same direction at the same rotational speed. When the top toy 10 that has rotated the two rotating bodies 20 in this way is placed on the ground surface, the top toy 10 turns around an intermediate point of the rotation shafts 21 of the two rotating bodies 20.

  FIG. 7B is a diagram when the two rotating bodies 20 are rotated in the same direction with a difference in strength of the rotational force. When the top toy 10 having the two rotating bodies 20 rotated in this way is placed on the ground surface, the top toy 10 is on a line connecting the rotating shafts 21 of the two rotating bodies 20 and has a low rotational force. Turn around the close position.

  FIG.7 (c) is a figure at the time of rotating only the one rotary body A. FIG. When the top toy 10 with the two rotating bodies 20 rotated in this way is placed on the ground surface, the top toy 10 turns around the ground contact position of the rotating body B that is not rotating.

  FIG. 8A is a diagram illustrating the operation of the top toy 10 when the two rotating bodies 20 are rotated in the opposite directions at the same rotational speed. When the top toy 10 having the two rotating bodies 20 rotated in this way is placed on the ground surface, the top toy 10 goes straight in a direction perpendicular to the line connecting the rotating shafts 21 of the two rotating bodies 20.

  FIG. 8B is a diagram in the case where the two rotating bodies 20 are rotated in the opposite directions with a difference in the strength of the rotational force. When the top toy 10 having the two rotating bodies 20 rotated in this way is placed on the ground surface, the top toy 10 draws an arc so that the rotating body A having a strong rotational force is wound around the rotating body B having a low rotational force. While moving forward.

  By the way, the top toy 10 which concerns on this embodiment can change the inclination and space | interval of the rotating shaft 21 of the two rotary bodies 20 by replacing | exchanging the connection part 30. FIG.

  9-12 is a figure which shows the connection part 30 which can be used instead of the above-mentioned connection part 30, and demonstrates the three exchangeable connection parts 30 here. In addition, these connection parts 30 have the connection end part 32 and the screw hole 32a of the same shape as the connection part 30 shown in FIG.4 and FIG.5 which were already demonstrated. For this reason, by using the connecting end portion 32 and the screw hole 32a, it is possible to connect to the connecting and holding portion 13b and the connecting screw hole 13c of the case body 11 in the same manner as the connecting portion 30 shown in FIGS. It has become.

  FIG. 9 is a view showing the first exchangeable connecting portion 30. This connection part 30 sets the length S of the bridge 31 long compared with the connection part 30 shown in FIG.4 and FIG.5. Thus, by changing the length S of the bridge 31, the interval between the rotating shafts 21 of the rotating body 20 can be changed. By changing the interval between the rotating shafts 21 of the rotating body 20, for example, when the other rotating body 20 rotates around one rotating body 20 as shown in FIG. 7C, the diameter of the rotation is changed. Can be made.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram showing the second exchangeable connecting portion 30. The connecting portion 30 is obtained by increasing the front-view inclination D1 of the bridge 31 as compared to the connecting portion 30 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 (specifically, the front-view inclination D1 is set to 30 degrees). ) Thus, if the front view inclination D1 of the bridge 31 is changed, the inclination of the rotating shaft 21 of the rotating body 20 can be changed. By changing the inclination of the rotating shaft 21 of the rotating body 20, the ground contact position of the tip portion 23 formed of a curved surface is changed, so that the operation of the rotating body 20 can be changed. Specifically, if the inclination is increased, the diameter of the outer periphery to be grounded is increased as it is grounded so that the propulsive force increases, but the load increases and the rotational force gradually increases. The degree of decrease increases (time to stop decreases).

  11 and 12 are views showing the third exchangeable connecting portion 30. FIG. The connecting portion 30 is obtained by inclining a connecting end portion 32 in a direction different from that of the connecting portion 30 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. That is, the connecting portion 30 shown in FIGS. 11 and 12 is not rotated in the direction in which the rotating shaft 21 is inclined when viewed in the direction in which the rotating bodies 20 are arranged side by side, but in rotation in the direction in which the rotating bodies 20 overlap. The connecting end portion 32 is inclined in the direction in which the shaft 21 is inclined. In other words, instead of providing the front view inclination D1 (see FIG. 5), a side view inclination D2 (inclination in a direction orthogonal to the front view inclination D1; see FIG. 12C) is provided.

  In the present embodiment, the side view inclination D2 described above is set to 20 degrees. For this reason, when the two rotating bodies 20 are connected using the connecting portion 30, the rotation shafts 21 of the two rotating bodies 20 are mutually 20 degrees so as to intersect when viewed in the direction in which the rotating bodies 20 overlap. It is formed to tilt.

  FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating an operation example of the top toy 10 using the connecting portion 30 having the side-view inclination D2.

  Fig.13 (a) is a figure which shows the action | operation of the top toy 10 at the time of rotating the two rotary bodies 20 in the reverse direction at the same rotational speed. When the top toy 10 with the two rotating bodies 20 rotated in this way is placed on the ground surface, the top toy 10 goes straight in the direction of the extension of the line connecting the two rotation shafts 21.

  FIG. 13B is a diagram in the case where the two rotating bodies 20 are rotated in the opposite directions with a difference in rotational strength. The top toy 10 in this case also goes straight in the direction of the extension line of the line connecting the two rotating shafts 21, but the propulsive force is smaller than that in FIG. Becomes slower.

  In addition, the connection part 30 demonstrated here is only a mere illustration, and you may use the connection part 30 other than this. For example, the magnitudes of the front view inclination D1 and the side view inclination D2 are not limited to those described above, and can be arbitrarily set within a range of 0 to 90 degrees. In addition, the direction of the inclination is not limited to the aspect inclining only to either the front-view inclination D1 or the side-view inclination D2, but may be inclined to either the front-view inclination D1 or the side-view inclination D2.

  By the way, the rotating body 20 according to the present embodiment is formed so that the body part 22 and the tip part 23 can be replaced. As shown in FIG. 14, a male screw portion 21 a is provided at the lower end portion of the rotating shaft 21, and a female screw that is screwed with the male screw portion 21 a is provided in the center of the body portion 22 and the distal end portion 23 in plan view. (Not shown) is formed. When the parts of the body portion 22 and the tip portion 23 are exchanged, the male screw portion 21a and the female screw are unscrewed (see FIG. 14A), and the other body portion 22 and the tip portion 23 are connected to the male screw. It is screwed and attached to the portion 21a (see FIG. 14B). By exchanging the parts, the design of the body part 22 can be changed, and the slope or material of the curved surface of the tip part 23 can be changed. Note that resin, metal, rubber, or the like is used as the material of the changeable tip 23. Thus, by using the tip part 23 made of different materials, the friction coefficient when the rotating body 20 rotates can be changed, and the rotation of the rotating body 20 can be changed.

  The top toy 10 according to the present embodiment is as described above, and includes a plurality of rotating bodies 20 that rotate independently, and a connecting portion 30 that connects the plurality of rotating bodies 20. Thereby, while the several rotary body 20 which rotates independently mutually interferes, it forms so that the motion of the top toy 10 may be determined, and various by changing the rotational speed and rotation direction of the several rotary body 20 It is formed so that it will move in a proper manner. Therefore, it is possible to provide the top toy 10 that has an unprecedented characteristic movement.

  Moreover, since the rotating shafts 21 of the plurality of rotating bodies 20 are not parallel to each other, it is possible to make a motion that is difficult to predict as compared to a case where the plurality of rotating bodies 20 are simply connected.

  In addition, since the inclination or interval of the rotation shafts 21 of the plurality of rotating bodies 20 can be changed, the movement of the top toy 10 can be changed / adjusted by changing the inclination or interval of the rotation shaft 21. Moreover, since the change of the inclination or interval of the rotating shaft 21 is realized by exchanging the connecting portion 30, the inclination or interval of the rotating shaft 21 can be easily adjusted only by combining the prepared parts. .

  Further, the belt body 40 can apply a rotational force to the plurality of rotating bodies 20 so that at least one of the rotational speed and the rotational direction is different from each other. For this reason, since the way of movement of the top toy 10 can be changed by changing the rotation speed and the rotation direction of the rotating body 20, it is possible to provide abundant variations of movement changes.

  Further, the plurality of rotating bodies 20 are rotated with the tip portions 23 formed of curved surfaces being grounded. Thereby, the ground contact position of the rotating body 20 when the rotating shaft 21 tilts slightly changes, and the change in the movement of the top toy 10 due to the change of the tilt of the rotating shaft 21 can be made remarkable.

  Further, the slope or material of the curved surface of the tip portion 23 can be changed by exchanging parts of the rotating body 20. For this reason, the movement of the top toy 10 can be changed by changing the distal end portion 23, and the variation of the movement change can be made rich.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case where two rotating bodies 20 are provided has been described. However, the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto, and three or more rotating bodies 20 may be provided.

  In the above-described embodiment, the rotating body 20 and the connecting portion 30 are screw-joined. However, the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the rotating body 20 and the connecting portion 30 are slidable. The latch structure (for example, a known structure as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2010-22808) may be used.

  In the above-described embodiment, the change of the inclination or interval of the rotating shaft 21 is performed by exchanging the connecting portion 30. However, the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to this, for example, the connecting portion 30 itself. The inclination or interval of the rotating shaft 21 may be changed by deforming.

  In the above-described embodiment, the body portion 22 is formed by a single member. However, the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the body portion 22 is formed by combining a plurality of parts. It may be. According to such an aspect, the variation in the design of the body part 22 can be increased by the number of combinations of parts, so that the range of how to play can be widened.
